Many thanks to all of you for submitting such splendid recipes! We've got everything from beloved strawberries to fanciful gooseberries. Heck, we even have extraordinary saskatoon berries!
So take your time and peruse the 82 (um, make that 85) superb berry recipes below. I'm sure you'll leave with several new ones you'll just have to try.
Entries are posted in the order they were received. If I have made any omissions or errors, then please email me at foodblogga (at) yahoo (dot) com, and I'll remedy it right away.
Ann of Redacted Recipes has always liked but never loved fresh blueberries. So when she received not one, but two pints of them in her CSA box, she didn't know what to do. Fortunately for us, Ann concocted these no-bake, creamy, refreshing Blueberry Parfaits. I have a feeling blueberries have moved up on Ann's list of favorite berries.
Even though Elaine of The Italian Dish was leaving for a trip to the Pacific Northwest the next day, she miraculously found time to bake this exquisite Torta di Nada from Jamie Oliver's Jamie's Italy. The best part is that you can make this torte with sweet blueberries in the summer and with fresh, juicy grapes in the fall. It's a torte for all seasons.
Christie of Stump the Chef had first been intrigued by the idea of balsamic berries when she was 10 years old. However, making ice cream in her Barbie Ice Cream Shoppe sounded a lot better to her at that time. Now that Christie's all grown up, so is her taste in desserts. Barbie has been bumped by sophisticated Balsamic Berries Over Vanilla Yogurt.
What happens when you combine traditional comfort food like rice pudding with something more modern like balsamic vinegar sauce? You get Kevin from Closet Cooking's simply lovely Strawberry Rice Pudding with Balsamic Vinegar.
Thanks to Avra of I've Got Food on My Brain and her mom, I have the pleasure of introducing you to Saskatoon berries, which Avra says resemble wild blueberries and taste slightly of almonds. Wondering how to enjoy these unique berries? That's easy. Make Mom's Saskatoon Berry Pie -- it's pure, wholesome comfort food at its best.
Jules of Domestic Goddess in Training has been enjoying raspberry picking lately. After making several sweet recipes she suggested a healthy berry smoothie to her husband, which didn't exactly wow him. So she ditched the smoothie and made rich Raspberry and Chocolate Muffins instead. See, husbands really can be helpful in the kitchen.
Despite wilting in the heat and humidity of South Carolina, Helen of Tartelette, endured turning on the oven so she could bake her magnificent Maple Cardamom Mousse and Strawberry Tartelettes. Baked tarts are filled with aromatic maple cardamom mouse and topped with brilliant red strawberries for a truly elegant dessert.
Nicisme of Cherrapeno lives a life full of glory. Her Strawberry Glory is layer upon glorious layer of tangy balsamic roasted strawberries and feather light whipped meringue topped with rich vanilla ice cream. Sounds like we could all benefit from some strawberry glory.
When Bee and Jai of Jugalbandi initially planted their raspberry sapling, they had no idea it would eventually overtake a large portion of the garden. Since the birds eat the easy-to-reach berries on the outside, Jai has to venture into the thorny center of the bush. Fortunately for us, he persevered (with scratches to prove it). Now he and Bee present their deliciously moist Raspberry-Almond Cupcakes.
When Dhanggit's friend asked for advice regarding a major decision in her life, Dhanggit answered wisely: she said to not make any major decisions while your emotions are riding high. Then she offered her friend some beautiful Chocolate Charlotte with Berries because a dose of chocolate makes everyone feel better.
Silvermoon Dragon of Dragon Musings gets a gold star for her Berry Turnovers. Not only did she post how-to photos, but she actually held the gas knob of her stove the entire time they were baking to keep the oven lit!
Heather of Diary of a Fanatic Foodie says she loves eating scones but hasn't baked all that many. Well she is off to a good start with her Raspberry Pistachio Scones made with mascarpone cheese. She even had the delicious idea to drizzle them with honey before eating.
It's a good thing Cakelaw of Laws of the Kitchen planned ahead. Since she is battling frigid temps in Southern Australia, she couldn't find fresh berries anywhere. So she went to her freezer and took out the very last container of summertime berries she had frozen for the winter. Then to stay warm and cozy, she baked a batch of sweet Blueberry Muffins with Crumb Topping.
Get ready for a triple whammy of raspberry deliciousness with Thin and Crisp Raspberry Napoleons with Lemon Cream by Zenchef of Chefs Gone Wild. Take a walk on the wild side and visit Zenchef for the recipe, a cartoon, and a how-to-tutorial. Then make his gorgeous Napoleons the next time you want to razzle-dazzle your guests.
Some people have all the luck. Like Anne of Anne's Food. She has not one, not two, but three blackcurrant bushes outside her kitchen window. Even though they're in an area that she shares with ten other neighbors, no one else besides her picks them! So she helped herself and made a deliciously homey Rhubarb Blackcurrant Crumble.
Kristen of Something Sweet is a wonderful daughter. Despite sweltering New England heat and humidity, she surprised her parents with homemade Berry Tartlets. (And her husband Dave fired up the grill for dinner, definitely earning brownie points with the in-laws.) You'll especially love that these tartlets look fabulously chic yet are simply to make.
Remember those strawberry cheesecake ice cream bars that used to be sold in ice cream trucks? Well Whitney of Rookie Cookie presents adult-friendly version. Her luxurious Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream actually has cheesecake chunks inside.
Sarah of What Smells So Good? shares Tiny Tastes for Two, which are small on calories and big on taste. With portion control built in, you can enjoy rich ice cream and still look hot in your bikini.
When Lynne of And Then I Do the Dishes was a little girl her mom used to treat her and her brother to the best-ever cheesecake in Montreal. In fact, she has never tasted one so gloriously rich and creamy since. Fortunately for us, that may change with Lynne's luscious Raspberry Lime Cheesecake.
Summer just wouldn't be complete without a homemade Strawberry Shortcake. That's why Candice of Mmm, Tasty! just made her first one of the season. Now, it feels officially like summertime. And now, our SHF round up has the quintessential strawberry dessert loved by all.
Mike of Mike's Table takes fresh sweet blueberries and tart rhubarb, two East Coast gems, and combines them in a tempting Blueberry Rhubarb Cream Tart. The sugary fruit filling and silky custard are encased in a deliciously crumbly graham cracker crust. And each slice is topped with a darling rhubarb ribbon.
When it comes to having the most beautiful and succulent berries, the Pacific Northwest reigns supreme, as Brittany of The Pie Lady well knows. That's why she is flaunting her velvety smooth Buttermilk Panna Cotta with fresh berries. Beware, after one taste you may decide to up and move to the Pacific Northwest. After seeing this dessert, it's not as crazy as it sounds.
Think chocolate for breakfast is bad for you? Think again. You'll start the day off right with Alexa's delicious and nutritious Chocolate Almond Raspberry Muffins from Artsy-Foodie. Plus they're good for you since Alexa baked them with healthful ingredients such as unsweetened applesauce, agave nectar, egg whites, and vanilla soy milk.
Though AS of Life's Too Short for Mediocre Chocolate usually shares her homemade baked goods with the people at work, she didn't send them any of these rich, chewy Blueberries and Cream Streusel Bars. That's because in addition to being sublimely easy to make, they're simply sublime.
Trying to cut back on caffeine, but craving a cappuccino? Then you'll be thrilled when you discover Rita's Strawberry Cappuccino at the Clumbsy Cookie. This pretty-in-pink cappuccino will leaving you smiling long after you drink it, especially when you lick off the foamy pink mustache left on your upper lip.
They say if you can't make a decision, then you should sleep on it. That's what Joanna of Salute to Sanity did when she couldn't decide what to bake for this SHF. Then she woke up one morning craving pancakes and found her answer: Cornmeal Lemon Pancakes with Strawberry-Raspberry Compote. Sleeping on it really does work.
When two little ones keep you up most of the night, you wake up the next morning really tired and really craving something special for breakfast. That's how Laura of The Spiced Life ended up making a sweet and moist Blueberry Buckle, otherwise known as "one giant blueberry muffin." Who wouldn't have a good day after that breakfast?
Looking for just the right dessert for your next Italian dinner? Look no further than Joelen's Culinary Adventures where you'll find Balsamic Strawberry Ice Cream. Joelen elevates ordinary ice cream into something special with distinctively tangy balsamic vinegar and juicy, sweet strawberries.
Mansi of Fun and Food can't resist California strawberries. You won't either when you see them star in her Strawberry Shortcake Pudding, a soft, sweet, cakey dessert guaranteed to make you happy.
So what exactly is a semifreddo? According to Didally of Didally's Simple Food Indulgence, "It has a texture icier than ice-cream yet still creamy if you let it melt a little. It's somewhat between a mousse and an ice-cream." Need I say more? Yes, actually! Be sure to check out her recipe for Raspberry Ripple Semifreddo.
Every holiday season Stephanie of Cooking in an Apron makes about a dozen of those lovely pumpkin rolls with the cream filling, so she's pretty darned good at making them. That's why you should make her delicious summertime Banana Roll with Blueberry-Lemon Cream Cheese Filling.
After a grueling 12 hour shift at the hospital, Astra of Food for Laughter wasn't thinking of what to make for dinner or even vegging out on the sofa. Nope. She was thinking what a travesty it was that she is a Southern chef who had not yet posted a Peach Cobbler! So here it is, folks: not just any cobbler, The Best Southern Peach and Blueberry Cobbler.
Get ready to swoon at Oakley Rhodes' Lemonbasil. These gorgeous Raspberry and Blackberry Cinnamon Truffles are made with plump Pacific Northwest berries that are encased in an outrageously creamy, decadent chocolate ganache. Feeling faint yet?
It's no surprise that bread baker extraordinaire, Susan of Wild Yeast, thought to use a sourdough crust for her delicious summeritme Blackberry-Plum Sourdough Tart that is laced with aromatic fennel fronds. To use Susan's words, "If it's summer where you are, may it be filled with blackberries and plums!"
It's a strawberry daiquiri! It's a panna cotta! It's a Strawberry Daiquiri Panna Cotta! Seriously. Judy of Judy's Gross Eats says this isn't only one of the most luxurious desserts she has even eaten, it's also of the easiest to make. And I didn't think it could get any better than the recipe name.
Suzana of Home Gourmets simply loves berries. And you will simply love her delicate Raspberry Financiers. Fresh raspberries are dotted over an almond cake dough and baked until puffed and golden for a light, tender, and berry sweet dessert.
Looking for the perfect muffin? Look no further than these Banana Blueberry Lemon Muffins from Dragon of Dragon's Kitchen. They're crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside, and each bite reveals a juicy blueberry in a lemon-scented cake. Perfect.
Zita of Simplicious has taken the classic Italian dessert, tiramisu, and given it a delicious new twist with her Orange Blossom Strawberry Tiramisu. That's right. All the original sumptuousness of chocolate, espresso, and mascarpone cheese are enhanced with orange blossom and fresh summer strawberries.
Alexa of Artsy-Foodie remembers fondly the cherry clafoutis that her mom used to make every summer. Now Alexa is keeping the recipe alive but "summerizing" it by using plump blueberries and sweet-tart plums in her Blueberry and Plum Clafoutis.
Tiramisu means "pick me up" in Italian, and that's exactly what Annie's "Mock" Berry Tiramisu will do to you. You'll still enjoy fabulous lady finger cookies, Amaretto, and coffee, but without the fat, since Annie uses a mixture of low-fat Neufchatel cheese and fat-free vanilla yogurt instead. So eat up, guilt-free!
Like any food blogger worth her salt, Maggie of Dog Hill Kitchen went a little overboard buying fresh summer berries at her local market. (Come on, you know you did too.) Fortunately she has an ice cream maker (and lots of patience), and has whipped up four brilliant batches of berry sorbets which star in her Michigan Berry Sorbets in Mini Pavlovas.
When Meeta of What's For Lunch Honey? went berry picking with her 5-year-old-son, Soeren, she asked him what kind of tree he would like to grow, and he responded, with pure childhood innocence: "A tree with all my favorite berries on it!" If that isn't heart-warming enough for you, then try a slice of Meeta's lovely Raspberry Hazelnut Tea Cake (with a cup of tea, of course).
I'm so proud of Elizabeth of Cake... Or Death? When she found blackberries for $1 per container the other day, she didn't buy just 1 or 2; she bought 8! Then she made this delightfully easy and delicious Deconstructed Blackberry Pie which has all the flavor of pie but without all the hassle.
Rachel of Vampituity An Improvised Perspective is pretty happy right now since she just picked her third pint full of garden grown strawberries. Though they'd be fantastic plain, these tender, succulent berries are divine in Rachel's Nearly Vegan "Mascarpone" and Pistachio Stuffed Strawberries.
Lysy of Munchkin Mail knows to pack a picnic. On her last outing she enjoyed pitas with both aubergine and roasted red pepper dips, some pongy cheese, and a memorable dessert: amazingly moist, sweet, and healthy Raspberry Oaty Slices.
Linda of Make Life Sweeter! won't easily forget her most recent birthday celebration. That's because she made a splendid Middle Eastern feast for friends and family to share and capped off her special day with this stunning Green and Pink Turtle Bombe with Raspberry Mousse.
Ulrike of Kuchenlatein has taken redcurrants, small, spherical, red jewels, and whipped them into a refreshingly tart Redcurrant Espuma. Easy, light, and cool -- ideal for summertime.
Your morning coffee or tea will taste a whole lot better when paired with a slice of Mansi's deliciously moist Cranberry-Orange Bread with Pecans.
When at first you don't succeed, try, try again. That's what Cindy did, and the fruit of her labors are these yummy Ice Cream Sandwiches. Creamy blueberry-raspberry ice cream is sandwiched between two spiced dark chocolate cookies for the ultimate ice cream treat.
When Miri of Room for Dessert was a little girl, she and her mom would go on berry picking hikes in Romania. Miri still cherishes that look of delight on her mom's face upon finding plump, fresh berries. Now, you'll delight in Miri's Blueberry Financiers, petite fluffy, cakes chock full of juicy blueberries.
Dwiana of The Adventure of My Cooking Diary concocted this extraordinary dessert just by browsing through her pantry! Succulent berries are piled into an edible white chocolate cup then drizzled with silky dark chocolate in Dwiana's Fruity and White Chocolate dessert.
Tricia of Jonski Farms transformed brilliantly colored black raspberries into brilliantly tasting Raspberry Bliss Sorbet. Studded with rich chocolate morsels, this is a berry sorbet that won't last long.
Sandra of Le Petrin transforms a traditional, homey dessert into something sophisticated with her Currants and Red Plum Crisps. Vanilla-infused fruit is encased with a chewy oat crisp and baked until bubbly and golden. See what I mean? Homey and sophisticated.
What's the only thing better than fresh plump and juicy blueberries? Fresh plump and juicy blueberries on sale! What's even better than that? Kara of What's Kookin's silky, succulent Blueberry Sauce over Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream.
Marc of Chefectomy knows the value of diligence and determination. Without them, he never would have become a black belt in karate and never would have chopped through bricks with his own hands. Turns out breaking bricks is a whole lot easier than vanquishing the fear of baking scones. I'm not too worried. Marc has reached a state of zen with his Strawberry Balsamic Scones with Lemon Zest Glaze.
Despite a week from hell that included a painful ear infection and computer problems, Michelle of Big Black Dog amazingly found the time to create this invigoratingly sweet-tart Strawberry Lemonade to share with all of us. So relax, and drink up!
Cindy Lauper once sang that girls just want to have fun. And that's what Elizabeth of Delightful Delicacy and her friend Beth did when they made these pretty-in-pink Chocolate Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting.
Sisters TS and JS of [eatingclub] Vancouver have always been dubious about the concept of "dessert soup." Is it a dessert? Or, is it a soup? Can it be both? All these questions and more are answered in their satiny smooth Blueberry Soup with Mascarpone and Tarragon. If you're really bothered by calling it a "soup," then take the girls' advice and call it a "drink" instead.
Mary of Sweet Mary has a knack for making me homesick for Rhode Island (in a good way, of course). And she's done it again with her Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake made with freshly picked Rhode Island blueberries that are bursting with color and flavor. No matter where you get your blueberries, just be sure to try Mary's moist, tender cake.
For those of you who live in areas where the humidity is so high, it feels like you're walking through water, you'll appreciate Lisa Michele's Triple Berry Sorbet Phyllo "Sundae" Towers over at Parsley, Sage, Desserts and Line Drives. They're a mile-high dessert of deliciousness that will keep you cool and thin (remember, sorbet is fat-free).
Shelvy of photography food and drink has whipped up a simple, pretty, and refreshing Strawberry Yoghurt cup that works equally for breakfast or dessert.

Lore of Culinarty shares Cocoa Tartlets Filled with Pink Grapefruit Buttermilk Cream and Topped with Blackcurrants. Lore is in love with the combination of sour blackcurrants, bitter grapefruit and rich chocolate and can't wait to make these tartlets again.
Have you ever seen a loaf of pink bread? If not, then you've got to check out Sihan's pink bread made with strawberry yogurt over at Walking in the Rain. It's also featured in her Double Berry Whammy Bread and Butter Pudding: a comforting concoction of fluffy bread baked with warm, juicy berries and served with a dollop of burnt caramel ice cream.
Andreea of Glorious Food and Wine has escaped into an alluring, ethereal world of white which inspired to her create A Sexy White Dessert: Strawberry Zabaglione.
Vicki Ma of herlittleblackdress is so enamored of fresh, succulent berries that she is sharing two recipes. Her ultra moist Raspberrilicious and Almond Cake is studded with tart raspberries and dusted with sliced almonds.
Each bite of Vicki Ma's lemon laced Blueberrilicious Scones is bursting with big, sweet, juicy blueberries.
Due to an unseasonably cool spring, New York missed out on truly great local strawberries. They did, however, have a bumper crop of sweet-tart raspberries, and Alexandra of Addicted Sweet Tooth is just thrilled. You will be too when you taste her impossibly appealing Raspberry Tarelettes.
Two really is better than one. That's what Prudence Pennywise of Prudence Pennywise and her sweet little girl discovered when they concocted two luscious cool treats: Homemade Vanilla Raspberry Ice Cream with Raspberry Lime Sorbet.
Becke of Columbus Foodie has always loved Entenmann's Raspberry Cheese Danish. Now she has created something even better -- remarkably moist, rich Raspberry Cheesecake Muffins.
Though Rachel of Fairy Cake Heaven was only a little girl when her grandfather passed away, she vividly recalls spending time with him in his backyard eating fresh gooseberries. So when she recently discovered gooseberries at the farmers' market, she instinctively bought some and then made Granddad's Gooseberry Custard Tart.
Amy of Eggs on Sunday can't imagine a more delightful way to spend a lazy summer afternoon than picking fresh blueberries. Once she got her fill eating them in their unadorned glory, she decided to bake some in these adorable Blueberry Lemon Pudding Cakes.
Jeanne of Cook Sister! has been playing tour guide to visiting relatives in England. Fortunately for us, one of Jeanne's stops was in charming Kent, home of the gorgeous strawberries featured in this singularly sweet and tangy recipe for Roasted Strawberries and Ice Cream.
As if Blueberry Cheescake Cupcakes weren't tempting enough, Jennifer of Jennifer's Haus decided to make them just a little more appealing by slathering each one with thick, rich, cherry buttercream frosting.

nauguration Day has arrived and there can be no larger historic moment than this one today (01/20/2009), which is the Inauguration of America's 44th President, Barack H. Obama. Stanczyk however is of mixed moods. Alas, his ticket to the swearing-in and the seating at the parade were pulled last minute in a bureaucratic snafu that finds Stanczyk in Audubon, PA (home of the French American Naturalist for whom the Audubon Society is named — John James Audubon).
Stanczyk had planned to bring his grandmother's Naturalization Papers, ala Edward Zwick, the director of "Defiance" did when he filmed Defiance in Poland/Lithuania/ByeloRussia. Stanczyk's grandparents came from the Russian-Poland partition, in what the Russians called the Kielce gubernya (and the Poles Kielce wojewodztwo) at the time of the 1880's it was in the Stopnica powiat.
• Kingdom of Poland (Russian – Poland partition) • Kielce woj. Stopnica pow. •
So this fool was outdone by an even better fool and my attempt to mix my travels and my history with my family not to mention my potential cocktail fodder at palace retinue happenings was bolloxed. At this historic moment let me pause my musings for some coffee whilst I watch the coronation, excuse me, the inauguration.
Don't forget every administration requires a fool and in these times I am available. Of course, I realize that Washington D.C. is rife with fools, but you can still pick an erudite fool who can stand out from the many and perhaps correct the omission of a Slavic from your Cabinet. God Bless Obama!

The CEO of an independent firm joining you in a prospect meeting and helping you land a $35 million account is but one topic sure to arise — and surprise — in a free, live and interactive virtual conference on going independent set for Wednesday.
That story of a unique arrangement whereby some advisors in a nationally known indie firm report to a separate OSJ, receiving lower payouts but greater support, is likely to come up in a panel session on unusual business models, one of five sessions in ThinkAdvisor's Going, Going Gone—Going Independent and Beyond event.
It attests to the fact that the world of independent broker-dealers is perhaps wider and deeper, and offers greater opportunities, than many advisors suspect.
Of course, there are numerous advisors for whom the employee model and national branding of the major wirehouse firms are ideally suited.
Yet for entrepreneurially minded advisors who think their bottom lines or lifestyles could improve through a change of firm, Wednesday's event will take participants through a menu of options while providing practical, how-to guidance.
With live sessions, the ability to send messages to panelists and booths you can visit just as at any other trade show, participants browsing our virtual halls will want to be sure to hear the keynote session, where ThinkAdvisor's Jamie Green will speak with two advisors who made the move from wirehouse to independence.
One of them, Traci Richmond, became an independent contractor while another, Mike Patton, became an RIA. The two tell their war stories, the gain and pain they experienced in their moves, and securities attorney Stephen Galletto joins them to offer financial and legal perspective on how, and how not, to go independent.
ThinkAdvisor's Ken Silber addresses an often overlooked, but unwisely ignored question in the second panel: To whom should an advisor turn for clearing or custody services? The decision is not merely about processing transactions, or fees. The firms providing these services compete with one another on training, software and sales support to help advisors increase their production.
It is not for nothing that First Clearing's Bill Coppel's title is chief client growth officer. He and his counterpart at RBC, Craig Gordon, will regale advisors with tales from the trenches about how they have partnered with newly independent advisors.
But before deciding on how and with whom to go independent, ThinkAdvisor's John Sullivan will help advisors consider some unconventional business models. An emerging trend in recent years has been the rise of boutique wirehouse-style firms that aim to recreate and enhance the full-service model but with the advantages that independence affords; these now compete with family-office style wealth management platforms and high-payout indies for entrepreneurial advisors' attention. Dynasty's Shirl Penney, Pactolus' Alan Harter and Cambridge Investment Research's Jeff Vivacqua discuss these approaches.
One of the presumed advantages of wirehouses was the training they historically have provided their recruits, but wirehouses have curtailed the number of trainees even as indie firms have picked up the slack. ThinkAdvisor's Gil Weinreich addresses this issue with an all-star panel including Raymond James' director of education and development, Bob Patrick; Oppenheimer's Paul Blease, a rock star on the advisor lecture circuit at broker-dealer conferences nationwide; and practice management guru Joni Youngwirth of Commonwealth Financial Network.
So what's the bottom line? For many seeking independence, the bottom line is how much upfront money a firm will pay an advisor to switch. Of course, there's a lot more to it than recruitment bonuses, but that's what ThinkAdvisor's Janet Levaux will ask top recruiters Mark Elzweig and Jon Henschen on the day's final panel.
To tune in, advisors must register for Wednesday's free virtual trade show.

IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.


text: Thursday, June 14, 2012 New in the Literature: Lower Limb Function in Children With CP Two systematic reviews by Frank et al published in the May issue of Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine provide an overview of the effectiveness of conceptual approaches, additional therapies, and basic techniques used in lower limb physical therapy in children with cerebral palsy (CP). For both systematic reviews, the authors searched 5 electronic databases, extracting literature published between 1995 and 2009. Studies were evaluated using the framework recommended by the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM), which classifies outcomes according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Three independent evaluators rated the strength of evidence of the effects according to the AACPDM levels of evidence classification, and the quality of the studies according to the AACPDM conduct score system. One systematic review included 37 studies that used conceptual approaches (neurodevelopmental treatment [NDT], conductive education, Vojta therapy, sensory integration, functional training and goal-oriented therapy) and 21 studies that focused on additional therapies (aquatic therapy and therapeutic horseback riding). Level II evidence was found for the effectiveness of therapeutic horseback riding on posture and for NDT and functional training on gross motor function. Goal-oriented therapy and functional training were effective on the attainment of functional goals and participation. With level IV evidence, NDT was effective on all levels of ICF. (J Rehabil Med. 2012;44:396-405.) The other systematic review examined basic techniques and included 83 studies divided into the following categories: stretching; massage; strengthening; electrical stimulation; weight-bearing; and balance, treadmill, and endurance training. Interventions targeting problems at body function and structure level generally influenced this level without significant overflow to activity level and vice versa. The more recent studies evaluating strength training mainly demonstrated level II evidence for improved gait and gross motor function. There was limited evidence for specific information on intensity, duration, and frequency of training. (J Rehabil Med. 2012;44:385-395.)

This is an open house forum. Come anytime between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. Please allow a couple of hours to complete the test. >>This test is for library staff associated with PrairieCat libraries only.<<The Statewide Cataloging Standards Committee (SCSC) was formed in 2000 and was charged with the responsibility of creating a cataloging standards http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/library/libraries/cataloging_standards.html document that would form the basis of improving the quality of cataloging in the consortial catalogs in Illinois. In support of these standards the SCSC has created the first level of testing, a barcoder certification test, which will help to identify the training needs of barcoders. To help prepare PrairieCat barcoders and catalogers for the Barcode Certification Test, a sample test is available at http://support.prairiecat.info/services/barcode-testingThe Barcoder Certification Test has two parts, both of which must be passed at the same sitting of the Test. The first part is made up of matching, multiple choice and short answer questions on general terminology, http://support.prairiecat.info/system/files/Public/Barcode-Level%20Cataloging%20Certification/BarcodeTestAcronyms.pdf, basic MARC http://www.loc.gov/marc/umb/ and searching. Passing the first part requires getting 14 of the 28 possible points. The second part is made of eight hands-on exercises where the barcoder is asked to follow PrairieCat cataloging policies and procedures in searching, matching and attaching a call number and copy/item record to the proper record, if applicable and reporting any problems with bibliographic records, or referring items to a copy or original cataloger. This portion of the Evaluation requires getting 50 of the 72 possible points.

When the Securities and Exchange Commission lifted the ban on hedge fund advertising last week, many in the industry applauded the move, saying it was high time that hedge funds and private equity firms got a level playing field against the competition in terms of marketing themselves.
"The lift on the 80-year-old ban that prevented entrepreneurs from advertising their efforts to raise equity is a huge step forward," said Joanna Schwartz, CEO of the crowdfunding platform EarlyShares.com, in a highly optimistic statement about the future for hedgies and venture capitalists. "Economic growth is driven by small business and enterprising individuals who follow their passions, and that requires capital. This ruling eliminates a big friction point in the capital-raising process."
Clearly, there are those who loved the lifted ban. Yet some in the hedge fund industry believe that marketing isn't necessary for these sophisticated investments, and others worry that fraud may be an unintended consequence. Surprisingly, some are plainly against the congressionally mandated rule required by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act that allows issuers to use previously unavailable solicitation and ad methods to find new investors.
Adam Patti, CEO of IndexIQ, which sells exchange traded funds that replicate hedge funds, opposes the lifted ad ban because it may ultimately do harm to what until now has been a closed market for sophisticated investors.
"I believe that it could be harmful not only to investors but the industry if there is not a proper amount of education provided to investors who will be seeing all these ads for vehicles they probably shouldn't be invested in," Patti said in a phone interview. "If an investor has a bad experience with an investment, it could be bad for the industry. The lawyers are probably circling already to pounce on the first thing that creates problems."
'The Advisor Should Educate the Investor'
Patti then pointed to the hypothetical example of the billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson, whose gold fund plummeted 65% through June.
"Paulson's fund has had a horrible performance this year," Patti said. "What about that little old lady watching the Today show with $1 million to invest, and she sees an ad for the Paulson fund, and calls her advisor saying she wants to invest in that fund that she saw on TV? An investor may technically have access to that fund, become more interested, go to their advisor and start clamoring for the fund without knowing the risks. Certainly, the advisor should educate the investor."
On the plus side, BackTrack Reports founder Randy Shain, whose investigative firm provides due diligence background reports on some 7,000 hedge funds, said he was thrilled with the lifted ad ban.
"I'm all for information being public," said the self-described libertarian in a phone interview. "I've always thought this ban was unrealistic. It doesn't speak to the way that business gets done. When someone thinks of investing in a business, you don't say, 'I can't tell you about it.' The removal of the ban is a welcome change."
Don't Look for Ads at Bus Stops
Shain acknowledged that the ban was intended to protect retail investors from unscrupulous companies. Yet only accredited investors with a net worth of at least $1 million or who earn a minimum of $200,000 are permitted to invest in these offerings, he said.
"Big hedge funds are very unlikely to market to the average individual and post signs at bus stops," Shain said. "It's in their interest to market to institutional investors. If you as an individual investor don't have the money to do due diligence on a hedge fund, then you don't have the money to invest. You're either all-in or you're not. Think about the due diligence people do when they buy a $1 million house."
As people in the hedge fund industry watch to see whether any unintended consequences, such as fraud, result from the lifted ban, Bloomberg predicts that many funds will feel pressure to promote themselves as competitors take advantage of their new freedom to advertise. For example, write Dave Michaels and Margaret Collins for Bloomberg, "some may experiment with low-cost venues such as social media while others may sponsor sporting events that attract wealthy investors."
Ultimately, however, many sophisticated investors who are drawn to advertised hedge funds may decide to avoid them. As Pragmatic Capitalism blogger Cullen Roche points out in "So Much for Non-Correlation in Hedge Funds," recent data show not only "abysmal performance," but increasing mutual fund-like characteristics in many hedge funds.
"I hate to be so general about this when there are clearly some funds that are probably worth owning for various reasons, but it's kind of amazing that the 2 & 20 fee structure has lasted this long," Roche writes. "At this rate the fee structure of the hedge fund industry is beginning to look a lot like a legalized scam. And now that scam is going to be sold to every mom and pop in the mainstream media when hedge funds unleash their vast coffers."

Boston drama grips television networks
NEW YORK (AP) -- So much for prime-time police procedurals. The marathon manhunt in Boston was a real-life drama that kept the biggest television networks and their viewers on edge for most of the day and into Friday evening, with a city's safety hanging in the balance.
As dusk approached, the action heated up, with the sounds of gunfire in a suburban neighborhood and reports that the second suspect in Monday's Boston Marathon bombing had been cornered.
Viewers woke up to the news Friday that one suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing on Monday had been killed overnight, with another still at large. ABC, CBS and NBC took the unusual step of casting aside regular programming to cover the story throughout the day, joined by the cable news networks.
The coverage mixed moments of real excitement with tedium as the search continued for 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who escaped during an overnight shootout with police that killed his older brother Tamerlan.
TV was a window to the world for residents of Boston and some surrounding areas, who were asked by authorities to stay in their homes as the search went on.
"It's unbelievable, unprecedented to see a major metropolitan area essentially called to a halt," Chris Jansing said on MSNBC.
The early evening action came just as attention to the story was beginning to lag. After a full day of coverage, NBC switched to Ellen DeGeneres' talk show. Massachusetts authorities lifted their order that everyone in Boston and some suburbs stay at home.
The gunfire and rushing police cars around 7 p.m. EDT snapped the networks' back to attention. After confirming that police had found someone hiding under a boat stored in a backyard, CBS quickly found a Google Maps image from above the yard that showed the boat stored there for the winter.
ABC's Diane Sawyer interviewed a witness who calmly said that his neighbor had gone into the backyard when police eased restrictions and found blood on his boat and saw someone hiding there. He quickly called authorities. The homeowner was upset that his boat was riddled with gunfire after police arrived.
"I have a feeling around the country that there will be a lot of people who will want to help him get his boat back," Sawyer said.
During the long day of coverage, networks seemed to keep in mind Wednesday's embarrassment, when some news organizations erroneously reported that a suspect in the bombing had been arrested.
The scarcity of solid information did lead to moments of confusion, though. In midmorning, MSNBC was reporting that a second suspect was being hunted. CNN flashed on its screen that police were searching for a Honda that the suspect may be driving in Connecticut.
Other networks didn't follow those reports and they were dropped as the search remained shrouded in mystery.
Pete Williams of NBC reported in midmorning that authorities believed they had the suspect cornered in a house and ABC's Pierre Thomas similarly reported that police were moving in. But hours went by without any news.
Shortly after 8 a.m., Fox News Channel reported explosions and indicated the drama might be coming to a head. Two hours later, NBC's Kerry Sanders was crouching on the ground talking on his cellphone, ordered down by police. It was pulse-quickening drama that led nowhere.
Both CNN and NBC told viewers that they were putting live pictures of the manhunt on a five-second delay to protect viewers in case the drama turned bloody.
Networks found friends and relatives of the suspects to talk about them, with Dzhokhar almost universally described as sharp and friendly. But in a news conference, an estranged uncle of the men, Ruslan Tsani, described his nephews as losers.
The suspects' Chechen background led to talk about whether the marathon bombing had something to do with Chechnya's longtime conflict with Russia. Others noted that Dzhokhar had been in the United States for many years, perhaps moving when he was only 9.
"The more we find out about him, the less we seem to know him," CBS' Bob Schieffer said.
As the day went on, networks found it harder to fill the time. Video of the overnight firefight was played over and over. NBC's Brian Williams had a fascinating interview with a couple who lived overlooking the street where the gunplay took place, describing bullets that came into their home. But it turned long-winded.
Williams later reacted with aplomb when NBC briefly cut to a simulcast of a New England cable news network, only to be greeted by a man on that station who uttered an expletive.
"Well, that was a fortuitous time to dip into the coverage of New England Cable News," Williams said, apologizing to viewers as NBC quickly switched away.
Individual networks were able to show strengths during the coverage. ABC's Bianna Golodryga used her fluency in Russian to conduct interviews with the suspects' father. On CBS, John Miller and Bill Bratton displayed their police connections in a knowledgeable and low-key manner.
NBC's star-crossed "Today" show had sent Matt Lauer to Texas on Friday to the scene of a fertilizer plant explosion, where he was largely forgotten. Earlier in the week, Savannah Guthrie's interview with President Barack Obama was overlooked because it happened hours before the marathon bombings.
Lauer's absence gave Guthrie her greatest visibility since she joined "Today" last summer, however, as she led NBC's coverage.

Dandelion, Persimmon, and Medjool Date Salad
Do have any weeding to do? If so, you may want to keep the dandelion greens for your next salad. No kidding. Look at the definition of dandelion greens: edible leaves of the common dandelion collected from the wild; used in salads and in making wine.
People have eaten dandelions for centuries. The name comes from the French, who called them dent de lion, or "lion's teeth" because of their sharp, serrated leaves. In fact, all parts of the dandelion are edible, though most people prefer the leaves to the flower and the root. You can harvest dandelions in your yard, especially during the spring and fall when they're at their tastiest, but I buy mine at the supermarket.
Dandelion greens have a bitter flavor similar to chicory, endive, and escarole and are best when paired with sweet or salty foods. Try them raw in salads or cooked; they can be boiled, steamed, or lightly sauteed. Also, season them generously with salt, which reduces the bitterness.
If, like me, you like a "bite" in your salad greens, then you won't be disappointed with this Dandelion, Persimmon, and Medjool date Salad. My inspiration came from a particularly productive trip to the farmers' market on Sunday morning where I purchased crisp Fuyu persimmons and succulent Medjool dates. The sweet fruit acts as a foil to the bitter salad greens which are drizzled with a deliciously tangy vinaigrette made of honey, Dijon mustard, orange juice, and fresh rosemary.
Now, just think of all the money you'll save by not having to purchase any more weed killer.
Dandelion, Persimmon, and Medjool Date Salad
Makes 4 servings
Print recipe only here.
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon grainy Dijon mustard (or regular Dijon plus 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds)
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
salt and pepper, to taste
2 bunches dandelion greens, washed, stems removed, and chopped**
2 small Fuyu persimmons, each cut into 6 wedges
4 Medjool dates, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons lightly toasted pecans, sliced lengthwise
For the vinaigrette, whisk all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, add the dandelions and persimmons. Pour half of the vinaigrette and toss until coated. Divide evenly among four plates. Add dates and pecans to each plate. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette.
**Dandelion greens are available at most supermarkets as well as organic specialty markets. Bitter greens such as chicory, frisee, and endive make good substitutes.

Hi Susan,
This does sound wonderful. I try hard to not get dandelions in my lawn, but I love to eat them when the come from the supermarket. The combination of persimmons and dates with the flavor of dandelion greens sounds great to me.

Hi Susan,
I don't know where your get all these great ideas for your recipes. They always look so fresh and good.

Please note that you do not want to eat dandelions from any yard that has been sprayed with weed killer or other noxious chemicals, so don't just go randomly plucking greens! I'm all for wildharvesting, but one has to be careful.

Ah! I do see persimmons here from time to time, but I never know what to do with them. Dandelion greens are a different matter, though :) The salad looks lovely!

Another great idea Susan...can see foodies around the globba shunning weed killer & chomping on weeds! The ingredients are going further & further away from what now seems as a very limited range of fruits & veggies. This is exotic!

Dandelions are weeds here in our paddock and once they seed, they'll spread anywhere the land with the help of my kids blowing them off the stem hehehe... We have an edible dandelion here in NZ which is called puha (sonchus asper), growing anywhere in the garden. We weed them but once they are steamed and dressed with sesame seeds with the help of a little crushed garlic, WOW, the taste is just like spinach!

Persimmons are an under-rated fruit...so darn tasty.
The dandeloin/fruit contrast works wonderfull here and the salad's so coloureful!

I saw dandelion greens at the Whole Foods Market and wondered if anyone actually ate them :) Now I know! This salad looks delicious Susan! I picked up a bunch of Fuyu persimmons,thinking I'd make salad, but we ate them all as snacks!... Don't you just love fall?

this salad sounds really refreshing Susan, and I'd never heard about Medjool dates! thanks for introducing them to me:)
- November 4, 2008 at 12:15 PM
I've always been curious about dandelions and I frequently have to weed them from our garden. Unfortunately, I'll have to refrain from trying them since my dogs probably peed on them! What an exotic looking salad.
- November 5, 2008 at 5:25 AM
- Jeanne said...
Looks wonderful! One year we did have dandelion leaves from the garden in our salad, but since then I'm afraid Nick has waged war on them and largely won the battle. The ones on the verges I'm far too scared to pick, particularly since we have ponies and goats form the nearby city farm on our verges and you have no idea WHAT'S been on those leaves :o)
