More black super heroes. Fresh, good food available in all neighborhoods. Encouragement for young women in math and science.
These were just a few of the answers from hundreds of students at four Chicago public high schools when asked about critical issues important to them that are missing from mainstream media.
During the four keynote presentations of Youth Narrating Our World over two days last month, a team of journalist leaders from The OpEd Project engaged more than 700 students in a lively, interactive discussion on ways to establish credibility and participate in the larger public media conversation.
At Lindblom Math & Science Academy, a young woman stood in the back of the filled auditorium and spoke loud enough to be heard over the rows of more than 350 students.
"Safe passages are not safe," she said. "My brother was shot in front of school yesterday."
Lindblom principal Alan Mather stood near the student and offered support.
During the interactive talks, The OpEd Project founder Katie Orenstein explained to students in anecdotes, graphics and statistics that only a narrow section of society contribute to the media, while so many more underrepresented voices from women, persons of color, youth and others are absent from media outlets.
"What is the cost of these missing voices?" Orenstein asked.
Sometimes erupting in applause and always eager to participate, the students engaged in a dissection and discussion of the notion of "evidence-based" arguments that are "timely and of public value." Students eagerly talked about ideas and issues that are critical to their families, schools and communities that are not reported in the media.
A team of journalist leaders including Orenstein, Michele Weldon, Deborah Douglas and Zeba Khan, worked with students in smaller groups to identify their personal expertise in order to establish credibility on specific issues.
Over two days, the leaders led one and a half hour lively presentations at each of the high schools, including Walter Payton College Prep, Young Women's Leadership Academy, Gwendolyn Brooks College Prep and Lindblom.
For the first time through The OpEd Project, the three-part curriculum of Youth Narrating Our World will be offered to high school students. This is the same polished core curriculum offered over the past three years as Public Voices Fellowships to faculty at universities including Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Emory and Fordham.
Students were solicited to enter an essay contest of 300 words submitted to school administrators on issues critical to their lives. On the basis of those essays, 20 students (five from each high school) were chosen for Youth Narrating Our World that starts with the first convening October 12 and ends with a third convening January 18.
In order to be chosen, students needed to commit to attending all three convenings and also writing at least two op/eds for publication, in addition to any other form of thought leadership on any platform during the period of high-level mentoring.
Weldon will lead the program with Douglas, as both have a collective half-century of experience as high-level journalists. Both also have decades of experience teaching journalism at the graduate and undergraduate levels at The Medill School at Northwestern University.
Douglas said she is pleased to be a part of this important mentoring program. She explained, "If I can see a goal in my head, tell myself the story of how I can get there, chances are I can achieve that goal. That's the way it's always worked for me." She added, "Telling your story helps to articulate a vision of great things that can happen and important change that needs to happen — when you first learn to speak up."
Youth Narrating Our World Curriculum
1. KNOWLEDGE (1st Convening): Saturday, October 12, 10 a.m. – 5p.m., McCormick Foundation
What do we know, why does it matter, and how can we use it? In the first convening we use games, high-stakes scenarios and live experiments to explore the concepts of expertise and credibility, to examine the elements of powerful argument and persuasion (including evidence, how to address opposition and building consensus), and to challenge fellows to think in new and bigger ways about what they know and why it matters. We also reflect on the obligation that comes with knowledge.
2. CONNECTION (2nd Convening): Saturday, November 23, 10 a.m. -5 p.m., Columbia College
How can we speed the pace of cross-pollination, and thereby develop better ideas that increase our value and relevance in the world? In the second convening we connect the dots between disparate ideas, fields, and geography. We play games that explore the source of truly innovative thinking (where do good ideas come from?) and test our ideas of timing and timeliness. We discover unlikely yet authentic connections across people, time and space – and new ways in which our knowledge intersects with public events.
3. CONTAGION (3rd Convening): Saturday, January 18, 10 a.m.- 5 p.m., Columbia College
Why do some ideas travel farther and faster than others? What are the mechanisms and hallmarks of contagious thinking? The third convening explores the underpinnings and philosophical implications of a rapidly changing media landscape – in which ideas rise and spread in radically new ways. We work with multi-media platforms including TV/video, public speaking, spoken word, video, audio, TED and TED Ed, social media, and more. We also consider how teaching platforms can scale ideas across generations.

Wetlands and global climate change: the role of wetland restoration in a changing world

Global climate change is recognized as a threat to species survival and the health of natural systems. Scientists worldwide are looking at the ecological and hydrological impacts resulting from climate change. Climate change will make future efforts to restore and manage wetlands more complex. Wetland systems are vulnerable to changes in quantity and quality of their water supply, and it is expected that climate change will have a pronounced effect on wetlands through alterations in hydrological regimes with great global variability. Wetland habitat responses to climate change and the implications for restoration will be realized differently on a regional and mega-watershed level, making it important to recognize that specific restoration and management plans will require examination by habitat. Floodplains, mangroves, seagrasses, saltmarshes, arctic wetlands, peatlands, freshwater marshes and forests are very diverse habitats, with different stressors and hence different management and restoration techniques are needed. The Sundarban (Bangladesh and India), Mekong river delta (Vietnam), and southern Ontario (Canada) are examples of major wetland complexes where the effects of climate change are evolving in different ways. Thus, successful long term restoration and management of these systems will hinge on how we choose to respond to the effects of climate change. How will we choose priorities for restoration and research? Will enough water be available to rehabilitate currently damaged, water-starved wetland ecosystems? This is a policy paper originally produced at the request of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and incorporates opinion, interpretation and scientific-based arguments.

"Tito is an excellent coach and a guy I admire. At the Champions League game between PSG and Barca we had a brief chat and he invited me to go and play for them," revealed Thiago following Brazil's Confederations Cup victory over Spain on Sunday.
The 28-year-old defender left Milan for PSG a year ago and has become one of Vilanova's prime targets as he bids to strengthen his defence.
"There are no negotiations taking place. I am relaxed about things and just want to enjoy my holidays.
"In football you never know what will happen but I'm happy at PSG and speak to the president daily, so it would be very hard to leave there.
"It's difficult, unlike last year when Milan wanted to sell me. Now PSG don't want to sell me and it's a very different situation.
"However, I hope everything is resolved as soon as possible to put an end to all the uncertainty," he confessed.

something for everybody this year.''
People would have the opportunity to join in art projects
during the course of the festival, including creating an LED

V8 Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Total Time
Prep 2 mins
Cook 25 mins
Recipe from First Magazine 11/3/08.. . .quick to make. You can certainly make this vegetarian (and vegan) by using veggie broth in place of the chicken broth.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1 cup diced fennel
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced peeled potato
- 3 (12 ounce) jars roasted red peppers, drained
- 1 cup vegetable juice
- In a saucepot over medium heat, cook first 5 ingredients for 15 minutes.
- Assuming potatoes are soft, puree the mixture in a blender. Add red peppers and puree again til smooth.
- Return the pureed mixture to the saucepot and stir in the juice. Cook for 5 minutes til warm.
- Serve with a triangle of garlic toast on top!
Most Helpful
I enjoyed this recipe, but next time I will use just oregano and basil, garlic, etc. for the Italian seasoning. The bottle of commercially prepared Italian seas. had way too much thyme, and it's kind of dominating the flavor. Right now it tastes more like beef stew than soup! My fault. I should have known. I will make this again with the changes above. I am going to make beer bread to go with it.
Delicious soup! I made this as directed and used V8 for the vegetable juice. After pureeing I had a beautiful red soup that tasted delicious! Is pureed with my hand blender which may have gotten more air in the soup than normal. No biggie but if I had let it sit for a bit it would have settled into a richer color bc the air would have dissipated more. Thank you for a fantastic soup JB! *Made for veggie tag*

Westside Altadena residents have complained for years about loud, commercial-grade fireworks illegally firing off in their neighborhoods on July 4. Altadena's sheriff captain says that he is beefing up patrols and enforcing "zero tolerance" on illegal fireworks, but catching and charging the people involved is "difficult, it's very difficult."
Altadena Sheriff Capt. John S. Benedict said that there will be two additional patrol cars out on the evening of July 4, bringing the total to five for the night. "We're looking at no tolerance towards fireworks, and we'll be issuing citations, making arrests, and taking appropriate actions," Benedict said.
But he acknowledged that it's not easy. "It's a chasing game is what it is," Benedict said. If a resident calls in a fireworks complaint, "by the time we're there, they're gone, or sequestered somewhere until we leave," Benedict said.
Lighting illegal fireworks is a misdemeanor offense, Benedict said, which means it has to be witnessed by an officer or a citizen's arrest has to be made for charges to be filed. "Most of these are misdemeanor offenses not committed in our presence, so that makes it very hard to take action,' Benedict said.
The onslaught of hot, dry weather only makes the problem more urgent, Benedict said. "I understand people's frustration. I understand people are scared, because the fire potential is high … obviously, we need the ability of the community to put themselves together and say 'this is not the thing to do.'"
To report illegal fireworks, call the Altadena Sheriff Station at 798-1131.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. - After a "fairly typical" start right out of college working for the government, Brian Simmons didn't aspire to be in the Senior Executive Service. In fact, it took him several years to even develop a love for the Army and sink his heart into his career.
"In high school my dad was an SES, and I am very proud of him for that," said Simmons, who served his last day as the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command's executive technical director Dec. 14. "You couldn't have told me that this [being an SES] would be fun or cool when I was a teenager."
Luckily for the Army, his love for the service and his career grew exponentially, and has lasted more than three decades. Early in his career, Simmons worked for the U.S. Army Ballistic Research Laboratory before moving on to the U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity in 1984. There he was an evaluator for infantry anti-armor weapons systems.
"After about six years, I realized this job was both fascinating and rewarding," he said. "It was a 'Be all you can be' Army then and that took over for me. AMSAA unleashed me to realize my potential and development, and prepared me for interaction with the Pentagon."
It was that preparation and subsequent participation in interactions that allowed Simmons to make his mark between Aberdeen Proving Ground and "downtown," catapulting him to various positions at both APG and the Pentagon.
Simmons, as humble as they come, never accepted job opportunities out of desire for a higher income. Instead, he was steadfast in his belief about perfecting the mission. In 1988, he joined the former Test and Evaluation Command (now ATEC) as the chief of Test Business Operations, a position he held until transferring to the Pentagon in 1996.
"I started at the technical bench level of proficiency and converted to management leadership," he said. "It kept snow balling - getting richer and deeper and more rewarding."
Forward to ATEC
Simmons returned to APG in 1998 reflecting on a time when decisions were being made on how to orient testing and evaluation. Before Base Realignment and Closure, multiple commanders governed different pieces of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command, he said. A vision of consolidation was offered during those years, but never took hold due to poor timing and different ideals.
"We were doing the right thing and doing it well, but not as a unified team," he offered. "After many years, we've achieved consolidation and we continue to evolve."
Part of that evolution, he added, is reflected in the recent dedication of the ATEC headquarters building to Walter W. Hollis. An event Simmons considers the "crowning jewel" on his last day in service. Hollis served the test and evaluation community for more than five decades and is known as the "grandfather of test and evaluation." In true spirit, Simmons redirected his comments to showcase Hollis, his vision and achievements for Army T&E.
"Recognizing the guy who had the vision out front by dedicating the ATEC building in his name is an honor," he said. "Mr. Hollis had the vision of integration long before we achieved it."
That vision is the one Simmons and ATEC Command General Maj. Gen. Genaro Dellarocco implemented in a matter of two years that changed the path of ATEC. "We've turned this command around immensely from where it's been," Simmons said. "ATEC's strategic direction is pointing very differently than the prior decade achieving excellence in who we are."
The highlight of Simmons' career was this revolution of the command's realignment. ATEC is a command full of the technical staffs and talent to make the change work, Simmons said confidently. He's happy to have Robert "Bob" Carter coming in as acting executive technical director for ATEC until a permanent fill can be announced by the Pentagon. "He's the right guy at the right time to carry the command to the next level."
The changes in the command didn't come without challenges. Simmons openly described the challenge that ATEC still struggles to overcome - the emotional ties of the combined workforces. "It's not technical," he said, referring to the vast technical expertise of the workforce. "We will have to lean on each other as a unified operation in the times ahead. We must integrate as a team to get through it."
The headquarters current structure is in its infancy, but the commands consolidated within it, have long legacies. "We establish roots and communities and cultures in this business. Economics and politics play a huge role in what we do," he offered. "The Army says change, but it's not the same as casing the colors; it has the emotional ties of legacy work."
He perceives the challenge for ATEC will lie with the workforce and its ability to let down its guard about who they used to be and reflect on who the Army needs them to be. "The business process should remind us that before we spend even one dollar, we need to ask, 'Can someone else do this in the command more effectively and efficiently?'"
Maintaining relevance
Simmons admits that ATEC is not done changing, but it is on a process path to get there and time will bear it out. In fact, he is proudest of getting this formation integrated at the top to set the stage for completing integration throughout the command. "It's about having the right skills and talent to make sure that happens," he said. "This place is ready to rock and roll; as I leave, it will do even better."
And it must. After all, the command is the direct connection to the quality of the products and systems Soldiers receive. "Some would suggest you can do it [provide quality] without testing," offered Simmons. "But there's an independent aspect to what we do that is key.
Soldiers should not have anything to hold back their fighting capability; we're something like their insurance plan," he said. "We ensure that what they're going to receive in theater is effective and survivable, so they don't have to worry about something going wrong with the equipment."
Simmons argues that to frame the independent advice offered by ATEC, user and acquisition viewpoints must be separated otherwise it's biased. "We have expertise from armor protection to chemical-biological and beyond. Where else would you test over land to intercept incoming threats?" he asked. "Only at ATEC. So much of what we do can't be replicated; someone has to prove it out."
The reality of where ATEC sits, said Simmons, is that the command sits at the head of the table for every acquisition decision to provide independent advice on what's not quite right about systems considered for acquisition. "We have the powerful responsibility to advise the Army and the Office of the Secretary of Defense on the capabilities of systems for the warfighter."
That responsibility ultimately requires ATEC to be integrated across its activities and test centers and be culturally ready to lead itself into the future. "Are we ready for that?" asked Simmons. "I know the answer is 'yes.'"
According to Simmons, ATEC's mission is an enduring one for the Army. "There's no technical challenge we can't overcome," he said. "Expertise flows from start to finish on a program, and when you marry that with the Army's deepest analytical well in AEC, ATEC remains a powerhouse for the long haul."
Parting wisdom
As the new guard comes in, Simmons has a few thoughts to offer.
"Maintain openness and transparency on all issues," he encouraged. "With budget cuts and proposed civilian reductions as the likely course ahead, we should focus on the strategic end of where the command wants to go."
Continuing emphasis on interdependence is critical, said Simmons. Interdependence is a top priority for Dellarocco, and it's critical that the executive technical director support interdependency in the command's strategic plan. "The technical director sets the strategic vision for the command ensuring that all information and expertise are integrated to support our products," he said. "Looking at what we can do is vital for success."
And while the leaders set the direction, Simmons also understands that without the workforce none of the excellence could be achieved. A hard charger, he notes that he rarely "stays in the moment" and constantly points out the things the workforce needs to evolve rather than stating, "thank you."
"Here we've changed so much, and I haven't paused to say thank you enough," Simmons admitted. "Thank you all. I really have been blessed with almost all my career here."
More importantly, Simmons wants the ATEC workforce to know they're relevant and very much needed today.
"Your mission is enduring, the Army will always need what you do," he shared. "You represent the epitome of what public service is about, and it's been my privilege to have been a part of your team."
Balancing appreciation
Simmons had hoped to quietly retire to his farm, but the command staff at ATEC weren't about to let him sneak out the back door. With all the hoopla, he remains humbled and isn't sure things are in balance.
"I appreciate it," he said. "It feels out of balance. I'm of the belief that the Army deserved everything I could give it and then some. I feel that way even as I leave, and that is what made me dig in and work."
It's likely that Simmons will dig in and work on other more personal priorities following retirement, such as building his long-awaited log cabin and spending much deserved time with his family. He won't be resting too long, however, he'll be going back to work in the private sector. "I'll be working with longtime acquaintances and friends I'm met throughout my Army career, I just expect it to be at a different pace."
After 32 years of government service, Simmons is retiring at a time when he's most fulfilled.
"As I leave, I realize I just got a little farther along than some," he said. "I'm tremendously fulfilled that it's [the command] is pointed right - it took a long time to pull it off."

Hi there, I may be posting in the wrong area, but I'm just not sure where to go. I took a look in the forum already and found some similar posts to my own but nothing that really helps me so I was hoping there is someone out there that could show me what to do.
So I just started my website and installed WordPress. On my main page I have a blog (obviously) and I would like a second blog that is just one of my pages but I'm not sure how to do that. I still want to keep the same theme and what not, I just want another blog. I have taken a look at the plugs ins available and have even tried a few but I can't seem to get them to work the way I would like.
I'm probably just a little slow at this whole thing considering designing websites has really changes since I was in high school. So if anyone has any ideas or tips please let me know! I would love some help.

The Pilgrim's Progress and Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (Paperback)
Now available together in a single volume, these two classics were written by seventeenth-century England's most famous prisoner of conscience, Baptist John Bunyan (1628-1688). Imprisoned for twelve years for his preaching, he wrote first a dramatic allegory of Christian life and followed it with the compelling story of his own conversion. Both have been beloved by generations of spiritual seekers and still speak powerfully to modern readers."
"Pilgrim's Progress recounts the perilous journey of Christian from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, and in its second part, follows the journey of his wife, Christiana." "Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners is Bunyan's fervent memoir of his own spiritual regeneration. Both works are enduring masterpieces of English prose, uniting the simple power of Biblical language with the vivid bluntness of untutored speech.
About the Author
John Bunyan (1628 1688) was born in Elstow, England,
and his life was spared twice in his early years, something he
believed God had done for a special purpose. In November
1660, when Bunyan arrived to preach in the little town of
Lower Samsell, he was informed that a warrant had been
issued for his arrest. Unwilling to denounce his Christian faith
and his calling to the ministry, he was imprisoned for twelve
years. Among the many writings he published during his
imprisonment are The Holy City, Grace Abounding to the Chief
of Sinners, and the most famous, The Pilgrim's Progress. After
his release, he continued to write and publish stirring works
that have endured through time. Among these classics are The
Holy War, Visions of Heaven and Hell, and Journey to Hell: The
Life and Death of Mr. Badman.
A former publishing executive, John F. Thornton is a literary agent and co-editor of Tongues of Angels, Tongues of Men: A Book of Sermons. He lives in New York City.

The 59th annual LaGrange County 4-H Livestock Auction Saturday raised just under $250,000, down from last year's $257, 000, still considerably higher than 2010 which was just over $222,000.
According to fair association president Ken Martin, entries and club membership had been down somewhat for this year.
Martin credited the success of this year's fair to quality entertainment, good weather and good crowds. According to Martin, planning for the 2013 4-H Fair begins next month.
"Even though the fair started with temperatures in the triple digits, attendance was good," he said. "We had real good attendance throughout fair week. Everything went well. The weather during the week cooperated."
Only the grand champion and the reserve champion animals were shown in the auction arena Saturday. The remainder of the exhibit winners were represented in the ring by their perspective 4-H exhibitors.
Over 450 entries were sold at auction. The largest category was in the started calf class, which was followed by the dairy beef and swine. Other classes included rabbits, turkeys, chickens, geese, ducks, goats, lambs, dairy milk and chops.
Overall, auction totals depicted twice and sometimes three times the market value on the animals.
A number of donated items were also sold at the auction Saturday between animal classes.
A kiss by LaGrange County 4-H Fair Queen Jordan Taylor Brown, 17, Lakeland High School student and the daughter of Allisa and John Brown of LaGrange, was one of the items up for sale.

CLEMSON -- Before the ball left the hand of Miami quarterback Jacory Harris on Saturday night, Clemson's DeAndre McDaniel broke from covering a deep post -- a potential home-run pass -- rushing forward to jump a drag route.
Harris released a throw intended for Aldarius Johnson in the middle of the field. In a blur, McDaniel crossed in front of Johnson, intercepting his nation-best seventh pass of the season, returning the pick 26 yards for a touchdown.
McDaniel's "instincts" are often praised. Listening to commentators, one would think he has some sixth sense of knowing where to be and when to be there. But for the Clemson junior safety, the art of the interception -- the "instinct" for it -- is as much the result of study as it is innate.
During the week, McDaniel spends an average of two hours more than the rest of his defensive teammates scouting opponents via video.
"There's only a few routes they can run," McDaniel said. "It's just out of what formations they can run them, what part of the field they can run them.
"We get (video) cut-ups on Wednesday. I'll see if a quarterback eyes receivers down, leads you to the ball. If he doesn't look at receivers, you see where they line up, you see what routes they run."
The scouting often takes place in the window-less, fluorescent-lit offices of graduate assistants Daric Riley and Wesley Goodwin.
Using an advanced video editing system, Riley says the Clemson staff can break down each opponent by specific personnel groups. They further filter by formation: what teams do when the quarterback is under center or out of the shotgun, how often they run to the right side, etc.
The idea is to unearth tendencies, or as Riley says, "secrets"
"We try to give them as much of that as possible." Riley says.
McDaniel is so proficient intercepting passes, he has caught as many balls from quarterbacks this season as have Clemson receivers Marquan Jones (7 receptions) and Xavier Dye (6).
The production has amazed his defensive backfield mates, especially since McDaniel often plays in the box, leading the team -- and fourth in the ACC -- with 57 tackles. McDaniel is making a case for ACC defensive player of the year.
"He just really, really knows the game," Clemson safety Rashard Hall said. "I'd have had two interceptions (at Miami) if I had listened to him."
Riley said McDaniel was particularly aided by film study against the Hurricanes.
"We found some things," Riley said. "Coach (Kevin Steele) asked me to show them what I found and why I found those things. DeAndre wanted to sit down on Thursday and again on Friday to kind of go over those things."
When Steele said after the Miami game that McDaniel is simply a "football player," it is code meaning he also enjoys football homework.
"When we finish meeting Thursday, we're done, he can go home, but he stays and watches extra tape," Steele said. "He absorbs things."
Of course McDaniel wouldn't be tied for the national lead in interceptions with UCLA's Rahim Moore if not for athletic gifts.
The 6-1, 200-pounder has excellent ball skills. McDaniel's intramural basketball team has won three straight titles. And Steele said he'd also be a great center fielder, thanks to his outstanding depth perception and tracking skills.
"Not everyone can judge a (fly ball) and get under it at the right place at the right time," Steele said.
The junior has been promised one offensive play by Dabo Swinney, and Swinney jokes that he "had his chance" to play receiver when Swinney recruited McDaniel out of Tallahassee, Fla.
McDaniel said "he'd love" to be involved in an offensive play or two each game next year. But one has to wonder if there will be a next year for McDaniel at Clemson, or if the junior will be NFL-bound.
The Web site NFLdraftscout.com has McDaniel rated as a second-round draft pick.
And his stock is rising.

Since I installed the plugin I have noticed that my site is indexing differently in the search engines (with the company name first before the title tag that I has set). I am curious if anyone else has run into this issue. It might be entirely not related to the plugin, but I think the plugin is the only change I have made since noticing this problem.
Thank you.

Documents obtained by Bloomberg show Australia blocked a 2009 bid by China to purchase 52% of strapped rare earth miner Lynas (LYSCF.PK) over concern it could threaten supplies to non-Chinese users. Lynas subsequently raised cash elsewhere, and its value has risen 25X since the 2009 bottom.

So let me get this straight, Australia blocks an offer from China to purchase 52% Lynas in 2009, raises cash elsewhere....... but when Canada blocks Australia's BHP's offer for POT in 2010, Canada is accused of protectionism....... and POT's share price is now what since that first & only low ball offer........ Seems to me that OZ is really down under on the double standards........

It seems from other posters on the forum that this is not that difficult a programming job. Can it be tied to the WP API code? I have to use it for other features in w.org, why not this?
I like videopress, but can't see myself renewing it without this feature.

Reviews for Spiced Pear Upside-Down Cake
"Delicious, didn't change a thing!"
"There was too much juice using 2 pears (bosc), so the middle of the cake never cooked completely. I tried it again using only 1 pear and it turned out perfect, baking it for 40 minutes. Delicious!"
"Delicious gingerbread and pears. I used 1/2 light molasses and half dark because I ran out of light. It turned out quite dense."
"Delicious pear cake and easy to make!"
"I made this exactly as written except I left the nuts out (personal choice). My husband loved it. I agree with a previous review that I think I'll use another pear next time."
"I made this cake exactly as directed and while I really liked it, I didn't love it. I think the name is deceptive because to me it tasted like a plain gingerbread cake with just a hint of pear flavor. Perhaps I should have added more pears. I was very impressed with how well the cake came out of the pan (I used a non-stick pan). It looked beautiful...I only wish the taste matched the beauty of it."
"Yum! This cake is delicious warm out of the oven and at room temperature. It has a wonderful blend of spices. One of my friends who tasted it asked if there were graham crackers in it."
"I made this last night; it's delicious & great to celebrate the fall. The only thing I would do differently is add a little more of the topping (nuts, butter, sugar) because some can stick to the pan & I will make it in a 13"x9" dish & add a little more to the recipe because the cake went fast with several people in the house; leaving some to want more. **Could use apples instead of pears also**"
"I made this as written. Really good but I do prefer old fashion plain gingerbread. I do not understand substituting molasses and ginger in a recipe discribed as a gingerbread and pear combo--gingerbread is molasses and ginger. However, some of the substitutions sounded good."

Best 5 Lentil Soup Recipesby Maria Russo in Recipes, September 18th, 2014
The key to making soup a meal is ensuring it goes beyond basic broth and vegetables with hearty, satisfying ingredients that will fill you up. That's where lentil soup comes in. Satisfying and good for you, lentils are packed with protein, and they pair well with a variety of flavors and textures, from hot sauce to tangy tomatoes and nutty Parmesan cheese. Check out Food Network's top lentil soup recipes below to find a mix of classic and creative renditions from Rachael Ray, Alton Brown, Giada De Laurentiis, Ina Garten and more chefs.
5. Spicy Lentil Soup — A serrano chile and a bit of grated ginger add heat to this quick-fix soup, but the spice is balanced by a final mix-in of cool, creamy Greek yogurt.
4. Sausage, Kale and Lentil Soup — Rachael mixes Tuscan kale into a base of sausage, carrots and potatoes before adding a splash of white wine for flavor, and then adds the lentils.

Keeping Weight on Cancer Patients
April 26, 2002 -- Weight loss during chemotherapy may not be inevitable after all. A study shows that taste and smell are at the root of the problem -- and that those problems may be fixable.
A group of Duke University researchers has been examining the complex relationship that involves appetite, taste, smell, weight loss, nutritional deficits, and the effects of all these factors on the immune system.
It's an important issue: Cancer patients who lose weight typically develop serious nutritional problems that compromise their immunity and chances for long-term survival, says study author Jennifer Garst, MD, assistant professor of oncology at Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center in Durham, N.C.
Garst and colleagues presented their findings at the annual Association of Chemoreception Sciences. Their study is funded by the National Institute on Aging.
"Weight loss has long been a hallmark of cancer, but it has been considered an inevitable byproduct of the disease process and chemotherapy drugs," says co-author Susan Schiffman, PhD, in a news release.
However, weight loss has never been considered a treatable symptom that can affect a patient's outcome, says Schiffman. "If we can show that taste and smell deficits are responsible for the weight loss in a specific population of patients, then we can intervene and potentially improve patient outcomes."
In their studies, the Duke team has linked taste and smell deficits with reduced levels of key immune system cells, like T-cells and B-cells. Even among patients who are eating the same number of calories, those with taste and smell problems often avoid foods with high nutritional value, such as fresh fruits and vegetables -- further depressing the immune system, Schiffman says.
However, Duke studies have also shown that flavor-enhancing powders -- derived from actual foods such as cheese, bacon, garlic, and fruits -- can improve a patient's appetite, leading to significantly higher levels of B-cells and T-cells.
In their current study, the Duke group looked specifically at the issue of taste and smell deficits. They also investigated the use of these flavor powders to make food more appealing to patients.
In their study of 33 lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, the Duke researchers tested patients' ability to detect and recognize odors and flavors presented to them in the laboratory. Patients who reported the lowest degree of taste and smell ability -- and who had lowest T-cell and B-cell levels -- also had the most weight loss, body mass loss, and nutritional deficits.

{since I mention a Microsoft product, I include this disclaimer: "This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights."}
I use PowerPoint. A lot. As do a lot of people at Microsoft (surprise!). I like the Visio-like picture drawing, and I'm always on the lookout for someone else's clever animations that I can liberate.
PowerPoint has an outline view, where you can see the text of your slides in outline form. It also has a picture view where you can see slide miniatures. Finally there's a slide sorter view where you can see "all" the slides.
What I need is a way to outline at the multiple slide level. For example,
I want to be able to cut/paste, collapse/expand and hide/show entire branches. I want to be able to view a different .ppt as an outline tree during Insert Slides from File. I want to see someone else's hierarchical organization of their material.
In other words, I want an intermediate level of presentation abstraction between single-slide and entire-presentation.
(A nice feature would be something similar to Word's split screen that allows you to see two points in the same document simultaneously.)
Once that is done I would also like a level of abstraction ABOVE the single presentation mode. This would be a multi-presentation "slide sorter" view, that would allow you to compare, contrast, and organize material across slide trees (remember all these presentations are now in the slide outline tree mode described above).
These changes would in and of themselves be worth a 10% to 20% productivity improvement for me.
Now all I need is an easy way to search (by topic, content, picture, animation, etc) the bazillions of slides floating around all the file servers all over this company . . .

The stars of the hit TV series Vampire Diaries admit that the success of Twilight helped their show to achieve success. Stars Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley had this to say to Digital Spy.
"I didn't see Twilight prior to shooting Vampire Diaries, but it would be ignorant and stupid to say that our show didn't generate a buzz because of the success of Twilight, but I think we have distinguished ourselves at this stage," Wesley told RTE.
Dobrev added: "But you know, the fact that Twilight was so successful, it made the world aware that people wanted to see more about vampires.
"So thankfully for us, Twilight has given us the opportunity to make a TV show and I think we have a few more years at least."
Wesley added that there were similarities between the two stories and admitted: "Some people say I actually look like Robert Pattinson.
"Well look, it's incredibly similar, we both have a high school setting, a mysterious guy that turns up and falls in love with a mortal girl. He's got all these conflicts because of the nature of his situation and the fact that she is a vampire. So I understand that the premises of both stories are almost identical."
He was unable to say who would win in a fight between Stefan and Pattinson's Edward Cullen because he "didn't know enough" about the Twilight vampire.
"That's really up to the viewer or reader to decide," he said.

Mazda has revealed its updated Demio (known in the U.S. as the Mazda2) and has opened the order books for the freshened compact vehicle over in Japan. Along with a minor facelift, the five-door hatchback now sports the automaker's direct-injected, 1.3-liter SkyActiv gasoline engine. With an astronomical compression ratio of 14.0:1 and stop-start technology, the tiny four-cylinder looks to be one of the most fuel efficient engines to have ever worn a Mazda badge. How high? The automaker says that the Demio returns the equivalent of 58.8 miles per gallon on the JC08 evaluation cycle.
The engine uses a range of advanced tech to achieve this fuel-sipping status, including a cooled EGR system that reduces engine knock, multi-hole fuel injectors that cool the combustion chamber, dual sequential valve timing and lightweight engine internals that are designed to reduce friction loss. You can read up on the engine's tech in Mazda's extensive presser after the jump.
Mazda has yet to release horsepower figures for the 1.3-liter Demio, but the Japanese automaker did reveal pricing. With an MSRP that starts at 1,149,000 yen ($14,303 U.S. at the current exchange rate), the updated Demio is quite a bargain. Officially, the faclifted Demio goes on sale in Japan on June 30th. We'd venture to guess that the 1.3-liter engine will show up in one of the U.S.-spec Mazda2s sometime soon. We'll see if the low-cost tag comes across the ocean as well.
