Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes
Sweet enough to eat without maple syrup and fluffy enough to melt in your mouth, these blueberry pancakes are a real treat. Low-fat ricotta cheese and beaten egg whites lighten the batter. Freshly grated lemon zest gives a hint of flavor. Eat as is or dust with confectioners' sugar.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup low-fat (1%) milk
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups Driscoll's Blueberries plus more for garnish (optional)
- Preheat oven to 200°F.
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Set aside. In a separate large bowl, whisk together ricotta, egg yolks, milk, lemon zest and vanilla. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture just until combined.
- Beat egg whites with an electric mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold beaten egg whites into pancake mixture just until blended.
- Lightly grease a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Pour heaping 1/4 cup batter onto griddle and spread to make about 4-inch pancake. Drop about 10 blueberries onto each pancake. Cook 3 minutes, or until edges are dry and bottom is golden. Flip pancake and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until lightly golden on both sides. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. Place pancakes on a heatproof platter and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining batter and blueberries. Garnish with additional blueberries if desired.

This was very easy to make. I didn't change the recipe. It is so good.
The recipe came out great. They were light and easy to eat. I loaded mine up with the biggest blueberries and cooked them a bit longer, so the blueberries were literally bursting.
This is by far the best recipe for blueberry pancakes i have ever made, and i've made my share of pancakes. They are so light and fluffy. I made mine with whole milk ricotta and whole milk as we don't have any of that fat free/low cal stuff in our pantry/fridge. They came out amazing.
Fluffy pillows of ricotta cheese mixed with the aroma of lemons; need I say more?
I made these this morning and my husband and I both were happy! I will make again!

Today, the debugger couldn't even access the url and the scraper couldn't load more than a few lines. Then I got a 403 error when I tried to add Facebook Admin with Yoast SEO plugin. I thought maybe the .htaccess file generated by W3 was creating access problems so I disabled W3 and now everything is working fine again.

Auditions for Drake's three select choral ensembles will take place August 27-30. For further information please contact Dr. Aimee Beckmann-Collier.
To participate in the Drake University/Community Chorus, attend the first rehearsal on Tuesday, September 1, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m., in Monroe Hall, located in the lower level of the Harmon Fine Arts Center. Music (Lauridsen - Lux aeterna; Rutter - Gloria) should be purchased at the University Bookstore prior to the first rehearsal.
The Drake Choir,a select ensemble of 64 students, tours regionally on an annual basis and internationally every four years. The choir has sung in major venues in Europe, has performed in New York in both Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center, and frequently collaborates with the Des Moines Symphony.
The Chamber Choir, consisting of 28 singers chosen from the Drake Choir, presents numerous on-and off-campus performances each year. The choir tours internationally every four years and most recently sang in England, performing in London at St. Paul's cathedral and St. Martin-in-the-Fields, the cathedrals of Coventry, Ely, and Gloucester, and the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
The Drake Chorale, a select women's chorus, presents four on-campus performances per year and, like the Drake Choir, has collaborated with the Des Moines Symphony.
The Drake University/Community Chorus, a non-select ensemble, is open to students, faculty, staff and community members and performs twice a year.
Special Projects and Collaborations The Drake choruses offer frequent opportunities for collaboration with other musicians, as well as participation in comprehensive learning projects that take both singers and audiences deeper into exploration of important topics.

This was a big hit! I made a few changes, to make it a little quicker to get together. First of all, I used 12 ounces of pasta. I was feeding 5 people and didn't think 8 ounces would do it. I was glad I did as it all got eaten. Finally, after cooking the shrimp, peppers (I didn't have any fresh peppers so used about 3/4 c roasted red peppers in a jar) and pine nuts, I added the pasta to the skillet, then the wine and shallot mixture. Next time, I'd put the pasta in a bowl, then add the prawn mixture then the wine mixture as in the recipe. It would work better than my method because when I mixed the pasta in the skillet, all the good stuff sunk to the bottom and it was hard to get all the ingredients in one scoop. That's what I get for being lazy. Still, the meal was delicous. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

Hull's Drive In
Hull's Drive-In, September 2002
|Former names
|Lee Drive-In
|2367 N. Lee Highway
Lexington, Virginia
|United States
|Hull's Angels, Inc. (a 501(c)(3) membership organization)
|Not-for-profit drive-in theatre
|August 6, 1950
Hull's Drive In is a 319-space[1] drive-in theatre in Lexington, Virginia,[2] one of the seven drive-in theatres still currently operating in Virginia.[3] It is the only non-profit drive-in theatre in the United States.[4] It shows current, family-friendly movies[5] every weekend (Friday-Sunday) between March and October.
The theater opened on August 6, 1950 as the Lee Drive-In. Its owner was Mr. Waddey C. Watkins of Roanoke.[6] In August 1957, Mr. Sebert Hull of Buena Vista assumed ownership.[6] Mr. and Mrs. Hull ran the newly renamed Hull's Drive-In for the next four decades. When Mr. Hull died before the 1998 season, Mrs. Hull sold the business to Mr. W.D. Goad, whose auto body shop is adjacent to the drive-in on Route 11,[5] north of Lexington. Thousands of movie fans were thrilled when Mr. Goad kept the drive-in going that summer, much the way Mr. Hull had for all the years before. The following season (1999), the high cost of the technical improvements that were needed discouraged Mr. Goad from opening the theater. That summer, the big screen remained dark as Mr. Goad searched for a buyer who could fund the necessary upgrades and run the business.
Relief came in the form of Hull's Angels,[6] the local non-profit group dedicated to preserving Hull's Drive-In Theatre. Over the dark summer of 1999, the group formed and by that fall, agreed that they themselves should try and purchase the business. They organized formally as a non-profit corporation, and by spring 2000, signed a lease with an option to buy over the next two years. A $75,000 capital campaign followed,[7] and by July, the Angels had raised enough money from around six hundred donors[8] to make the urgent upgrades and repairs and reopen the theater for the balance of the summer.
2000 was the resurrected Hull's first full summer season, and in 2010, the drive-in marked its tenth year as America's only non-profit drive-in theater.
July 30, 2014, TripAdvisor.com voted Hull's Drive-In as the #7 top drive-in in the country as recognized by reviews on TripAdvisor.com.
August 6, 2014, Hull's Drive-In celebrated their 64th season of showing movies as well as celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Hull's Angels, Inc operating the drive-in.

Republican Senator Sees Very Little Potential in Party's Leadership
This should be fairly depressing for John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.
Discussing the possibility of the GOP taking over the House or the Senate this fall, Indiana's seasoned, well-respected Republican senator Richard Lugar not only admitted that the party currently has no ideas ("We had better begin thinking in the next 13 weeks about what we are going to do"), but was also less than ecstatic about the guys who stand to take over.
"The question is, how creative will Republicans be in the face of this? If we get the majority, will there be the sort of negotiations that occurred between Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton, for example?" he said. "And if so, who is going to be our Newt?"
Lugar was asked whether Republicans such as House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky can fill that role.
"Probably not," Lugar said. "But it's a very important question."
Lugar: Republicans "had better have ideas' [Courier Press]

Parker Kligerman: moving on up
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (May 7, 2013) - In his first full-time campaign in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, Parker Kligerman has quietly put together a solid start to the 2013 season. Kligerman has improved nine spots in the championship standings over the last five races and currently resides in the fourth position entering Friday's VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. With eight of 33 races completed, the 22-year-old finds himself in the early championship hunt amongst three former Sprint Cup Series regulars - Regan Smith (1st), Sam Hornish Jr. (2nd) and Elliott Sadler (5th) - and a perennial contender in his fifth full-time season in NASCAR's second division, Justin Allgaier (3rd).
The talented youngster has one prior start at Darlington, posting a 14th-place finish in the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at the egg-shaped oval. Phillips has a little more experience, calling the shots for three Truck Series events at the venue dubbed "Too Tough to Tame." With Kasey Kahne behind the wheel of KBM's No. 18 Tundra for the 2011 event, the veteran signal caller proved that the challenging track can be handled, leading 95 of 147 laps en route to victory.
With Phillips and veteran spotter Earl Barban in his ear on Friday night, Kligerman will be constantly reminded to abide by the age-old adage "race the track and not the cars around you." With just seven markers standing between him and Allgaier for third-place in Nationwide Series standings, another solid finish will help in his efforts to continue 'moving on up' the rankings and prove that he is a viable contender for the 2013 championship.
Parker Kligerman, Driver of the No. 77 NNS Toyota Camry:
You made one Truck Series start at Darlington. Did you get your Darlington stripe?
"I actually did get my Darlington stripe, but it was only because another driver ran into me going into Turn 1. Other than that, we were able to avoid the wall and had a top-10 run going with a truck that we probably shouldn't have been racing there. It was a normal experience for your first time at Darlington, in terms of being a bit of a rougher weekend. We were running in the top 10 most of the night, but ended up 14th because we got put in the wall. I really like the place and I'm excited to being go back there. The track has a ton of history and is so iconic in NASCAR in terms of places you get excited to go to."
You will be unloading the same Camry that you finished fourth with at California. Does that give you a confidence boost even though Darlington is a much different track?
"I think so, a lot of our later-generation Camrys here at Kyle Busch Motorsports are very similar. There are little subtle differences between them, but any time that you have a good experience with one car -- in terms of running well and getting a good finish -- it gives you more confidence that it has speed. You know it has the right downforce and such, so, you can go out and focus on making it drive right and getting around the race track, instead of evaluating where your car is at.
Eric Phillips, Crew Chief of the No. 77 NNS Toyota Camry:
What are the pros and cons of practicing, qualifying and racing all in the same day?
"Doing the Truck Series for so many years, we've done a lot of one-day shows and I seem to like them. If you unload well and things go well, it's a good thing. Your guys are at the race track less time -- you do your thing and get out. On the other hand, if you unload and you are way off, it makes for a long day."
Darlington is a tough track, what can you do as a crew chief to help your driver?
"The biggest thing is that you have to give the driver something that is comfortable. Everybody preaches about racing the race track, so giving your driver a car that has a good grip level and still has some speed in it is the best thing you can do for him. If you have a car that is comfortable to drive, you'll be fast over the long runs."
Parker Kligerman's No. 77 Toyota Camry:
KBM-11: KBM-11 will make its second start of the 2013 season in Friday's VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200. In its first start of 2013, Kligerman posted a series-best fourth-place finish with the Camry in March at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. The Toyota raced four times in 2012, capturing the pole in its debut at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga. last September and posting two top-five and three top-10 finishes.

Ryan soup kitchen 'stunt' spins out of control, Society president says
Mahoning County's St. Vincent de Paul Society president said his critical comments about Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan's visit to the soup kitchen have "managed to upset both" political parties.
"This whole thing has spun out of control," Brian J. Antal, who runs the society, said today at a press conference at its dining hall.
Antal said he's received numerous calls from Democrats and Republicans about the visit.
Antal said Monday that he was "shocked" and "angry" that Ryan used the soup kitchen for a "publicity stunt" on Saturday after a town-hall meeting at Youngstown State University.
Antal contacted The Vindicator and The Washington Post on Monday to "clear the air." After the two organizations reported on the incident, it quickly became national news.
Antal today repeated what he said Monday: his objection was Ryan using the soup kitchen for political purposes.
If he is elected vice president, Ryan would be welcomed to volunteer at the dining hall as long as it's not during a campaign and without turning it into a media event, Antal said.
"I didn't want to make this a negative on the guy," Antal said of Ryan. "I'm not here to blast anybody. We have no [political] affiliation with anyone."
Juanita Sherba, St. Vincent's Saturday coordinator for the dining hall, gave the Ryan campaign permission to have the candidate and his family come to the downtown location.
She said it was a mistake.
The event was completely staged by the campaign, including having volunteers not clean a few pots and pans so Ryan and his family could be photographed doing that work, Sherba said.
Antal confirmed Sherba's account today.
For the complete story, read Wednesday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
Doesn't St. Paul exhort Christians to "show hospitality" (Romans 12:13)? Why complain when a practicing Catholic visits, especially when that practicing Catholic is a millionaire (as Paul Ryan is) who may want to write a personal check to your organization? Why complain when you have a chance for a "one-on-one" meeting with the Chairman of the House Budget Committee (as Paul Ryan is)? He will either remain in that position or become the Vice President. Maybe an opportunity to increase funding was missed by the leadership of the St. Vincent de Paul Society?
Scripture also states that the Lord knows what is in our hearts...maybe he should have writen the personal check before the photo op was taken advantage of.
If Mr Antal was a Christian he would have "turned the other cheek" and said let's not promote political events again.
BUT, Mr Antal called the liberal Vindicator and extremely liberal Washington Post and childishly complained about a political "stunt", knowing that these news organizations would vociferously whine about the Republicans.
Mr Antal knew what he was doing when he contacted the liberal media. His denials ring hollow. Shame on him for stirring the political pot instead of the soup pot.
So a volunteer without authority allowed Paul Ryan to visit the soup kitchen. Because the prior event did not end in time for Ryan to meet any of the clients at the soup kitchen, it was just a stupid photo op. Instead of taking responsibility for her error Ms. Sherba is trashing Ryan personally and his campaign because donors were upset. If it had been Tim Ryan instead of Paul Ryan--it would have been the greatest humanitarian act ever witnessed in the Mahoning Valley. What Mr. Antal and Ms. Sherba did is more disgusting than the campaign antics, they have turned the whole scenario into a publicity/fundraising stunt for St. Vincent de Paul and the local Democratic Party. Antal has the responsibility to inform the volunteers that they do not have the authority to speak to the press or approve visit requests. I will never give another cent to the St. Vincent de Paul Society/Kitchen, Catholic Charities or the K of C which support St. Vincent de Paul. I hope the local Democratic party writes them a big check for furthering their agenda.
Brian Antal is the one who should be cast out! With such an angry heart, he has no business being a representative of a Catholic institution. At the very least, he should learn to be silent when representing an organization affiliated with the Catholic diocese. His job should be eliminated now so that he does not do further damage to the Church.
One can hope Mr Antal is wearing rubber work boots today. He stepped in "it" earlier -- and now has both feet in.
I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Mr. Antal is a registered Democrat. The point is that Mr. Ryan and his staff did in fact obtain permission. So he asked to do some dishes that would normally have been done by the staff? This is a mountain made out of a molehill - as a practicing Catholic I am embarassed to have Mr. Antal as the leader of St. Vincent de Paul. Do us all a favor and resign and keep your politics to yourself.
Well no more money from me.
Antal and Sherba should be fired and the organization's 501(c)(3) status should be questioned. These two and by extension the organization conspired to engage in political action and affect political outcomes days prior to a national election. There is nothing tax exempt about that.
Brian Antal described himself as an independent. However, voting records show that he has voted in the Ohio Democratic primary for the past 17 years.
This story has Antal (in connection with David Betras who told him to call the Washington Post) and the Vindicator working in concert to try to embarass a Republican Vice President nominee.
Remember these facts next time you want to donate money, hire a lawyer, or find out the news from unbiased sources.
I am with you William. A private letter to upset donors would have sufficed here.
All of this fallout over what? A visit from a vice-presidential nominee, nothing else to ridicule at the moment?

As a feature request, I strongly suggest a "Top Keywords" widget or shortcode that would display the last top keywords (current trends) used to reach the blog from search engines. This would probably have a great positive effect.
This widget would be inspired by this deprecated widget : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/keywords-widget/
Search engines would see the search terms displayed on the page, which leads to more people finding the pages based on the search terms from previous surfers. If one of the terms is a popular search, it leads to more searches. There is a positive feedback loop.
Thank you if you can develop this update !

Nothing much to say about me.
I really love gaming (especially with friends) and I work as a programmer and system administrator. Also I'm a fan of several series (mostly science-fiction or cleverly devised fantasy) and in addition I know what letters are.
I'm freaking sexy, but well... we're on the internet, so I'm just a kid raised in his cellar.

I've setup WordPress to function as the CMS for a web comic being developed by a friend and I. Everything has gone very smoothly, and I am happy with the functionality (ComicPress rocks!). But in my modification of the theme I have found that at some point the
 tag stopped working. I have searched over the forums and found that it appears to have something to do with calling multiple loops on a blog's primary page via the
query_posts(); function.
I've set things up so that the primary page runs four loops instead of just the usual one. All I did was divide the page as needed with tables and CSS in the comicpress template, then added a
query_posts('cat=#'); where # is equal to the category number of the content I want to display. For example, the site news is posted under a catigory called "News" which is catigory 6, so the loop is as follows:
while (have_posts()):
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>

Category: <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>

<?php //endforeach; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php posts_nav_link() ?>
However, when the  tag is used in the post, the entire post is still displayed.
Does anyone have any ideas?
P.S. This is not on WP "page" it is the main index.php of the site, the blogs default category is the comic, which is also identified with query_posts() and displays fine, but ignores the use of the  tag in the post that accompanies each comic.


text:
Is there anyway to position the tabs underneath the content rather than on top.
I know I could do it using relative positioning, but as the content will be different sizes, this is not an ideal solution. I have looked through the PHP code, but cannot find a suitable solution.
Any help would be very appreciated, thanks.

you can fly through the first 3 stages without shooting anyone. but there is this one guy who's missle you cannot dodge... you HAVE TO KILL HIM or he WILL hit you. I've tried everything. banking ahead of time and at the last second, barrel rolling ahead of time and at the last second. and changing course like mad at all speeds "barrel rolling can confuse some missles but don't rely on it too much. but never worked on this guy yet."
the reason you can't dodge it is because he don't shoot till he is point blank range from your face. there is 1 in every stage after stage 3. (not including stages where you fly through canyons and such. only in free flight areas!) they are actually very easy to spot. when they show up, they start barrel rolling non-stop and charge strait at you. they are purple in color (at least on my tv) and if you try to change course, well they will change too. so they get in your face no matter what and they never fire until they are 1 inch from you. other than that one jet, everything else is easily dodged through banking and boosting.
Also if all that isn't specific enough, his missle has purple/blue smoke too. as where everyone else has yellow or red.
If you do know a way to simply dodge the missle, i'd like to know.........

If your company is being acquired by a US company, what would be the best route to US immigration? Since there is a cap on H1-B visas, I need to know other viable options.
In that case L-1B is an option. There is no quota, there is no fiscal year cycle as with H-1B. Another advantage is that L-1 holders' spouses get L-2, which permits working.
In that case employer would be the US based parent company that acquired company you're working for. On the other hand you must have been working in the company for at least a year.
source: USCIS L-1B Intracompany Transferee Specialized Knowledge
Downside of L-1B is that prior to getting the Green Card, there isn't really an easy way of changing jobs. To change jobs you'd be required to got through whole H-1B process.

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain denied allegations that he sexually harassed two women while running the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, portraying himself as the victim of a smear campaign.
"I have never sexually harassed anyone," Cain said yesterday, describing the accusations as a "witch hunt."
"There's nothing else there to dig up," he added.
In a series of interviews originally scheduled to discuss his economic plans, Cain attempted to stem any damage from the allegations now confronting the candidate, who has risen from an asterisk in the polls to a leader of his party's pack.
Politico reported on Oct. 30 that at least two female employees complained to colleagues and restaurant association officials after Cain acted in a sexually suggestive way. The women, unnamed in the report, received separation packages in the five-figure range, according to the website.
Cain, in an interview with Bloomberg News before a National Press Club luncheon, said the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigated allegations he sexually harassed an employee and found "no basis" to pursue the case.
He said he had recused himself from an inquiry conducted by the restaurant association, leaving it to the general counsel and human resources officer, and didn't know whether financial settlements were made with the women.
"It couldn't have been very much money, or I would have had to know about it," Cain told Bloomberg yesterday.
Changing Account
Several hours later, Cain said the association paid one of the women a "termination settlement," though he couldn't remember whether it was two or three months' salary.
"I do remember my general counsel saying we didn't pay all of the money they demanded," he said in an interview with Fox News' Greta van Susteren last night.
Cain said he remembered one of the women who brought the allegations, though he couldn't recall her name because she hadn't worked for the association for very long. "I do remember the formal allegations she made in terms of sexual harassment," he told Van Susteren.
When asked on PBS Newshour whether he had exhibited any inappropriate behavior, Cain said no. "But as you would imagine, it's in the eye of the person that thinks that maybe I crossed the line," he added.
The former Godfather's Pizza chief executive faces new scrutiny as recent polls show him picking up support in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
Cain's Gains
Cain is in a statistical tie with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney for the lead among Republicans in Iowa, according to a Des Moines Register survey of likely caucus-goers in the state hosting the premier nominating contest in January. The poll showed Cain supported by 23 percent, Romney 22 percent.
For all his gains in the polls, Cain trails his rivals in fundraising and has scant organization in Iowa -- traditionally a prerequisite for a strong caucus showing. He made his first visit to the state in more than two months a week ago.
Cain, 65, also has sought to recover from a series of stumbles in recent weeks. A campaign website ad picturing his manager puffing on a cigarette and closing with a close-up of Cain smiling prompted a spate of jokes by late-night television comedians. And Cain has had to clarify several controversial statements, including his views on abortion, foreign policy and building an electrified fence along the Mexico border.
Role of Race
This time, some prominent Republican commentators rallied to his side, questioning whether the report of sexual harassment had racial undertones and drawing comparisons to accusations leveled at Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas during his 1991 confirmation hearings.
"It's outrageous the way liberals treat a black conservative," author Ann Coulter said yesterday in an interview on Fox News. "This is another high-tech lynching."
At the press club, Cain said race isn't playing a role in his campaign. "This many white people can't pretend that they like me," Cain said.
Cain closed his appearance at the club in his signature style, singing a Christian gospel song for the audience.
On the way to the press club, Cain described himself as an "unconventional" candidate with "a sense of humor."
"Some people have a problem with that," Cain said. "Herman be Herman, and Herman is gonna stay Herman."
Cain as Lobbyist
Cain spent two years as volunteer chairman of the National Restaurant Association, and then left his company in 1996 to lead the Washington-based trade group fulltime.
In that role, he lobbied against a ban on indoor smoking, increases in the minimum wage, stricter workplace safety standards and lower blood alcohol limits for drunken driving. He also worked in favor of welfare overhaul and bigger tax deductions for business meals.
The restaurant association declined to comment on the allegations in a statement on its website, citing a "longstanding policy" of not publically discussing personnel issues relating to current or former employees.
Officials at the EEOC also refused to comment on any probe. Christine Nazer, an agency spokeswoman, said no lawsuits were filed against Cain's company, Godfather's Pizza, or the National Restaurant Association. The commission files lawsuits only against employers, not against individuals, she said.
Fielding Questions
Cain and his campaign initially denied the allegations. In a statement on Oct. 30, campaign spokesman J.D. Gordon said: "Since Washington establishment critics haven't had much luck in attacking Mr. Cain's ideas to fix a bad economy and create jobs, they are trying to attack him in any way they can."
Pressed by a reporter at an event yesterday at the American Enterprise Institute, where he was discussing his "9-9-9" tax plan, Cain declined to address the harassment charges.
He later addressed the issue at the press club, where he said he had been falsely accused of sexual harassment at the association and had never in his career harassed anyone.
After that appearance, he told WHO-AM in Des Moines, a widely heard station in Iowa: "The Cain train is staying on track, and we are making sure that we don't allow these distractions from former employees and opponents to really get us off message."

Brentford, without four key players of their own, went through the gears and eventually took control against Adams' depleted play-off chasers.
Goals either side of the break from Marcello Trotta and substitute Will Grigg sealed the points and Brentford's 1,000th league win in an entertaining tussle.
"We may have to bring in one or two bodies because we had to rely on youngsters here," Adams said.
"I'd have preferred to have come here with a full squad, but regardless of that I didn't feel that we really got going and didn't really do enough going forward."
Adams added: "It was a fair result. They have some very good players and it was always going to be difficult coming here, but if you are going to lose a game at least we have had a go."
The result could and should have been settled far earlier, only breath-taking second-half saves by Vale goalkeeper Chris Neal denying shots from Trotta and Clayton Donaldson.
Before that Blackburn loan signing Alan Judge stung Neal's fingers with two dipping drives before Trotta gave the hosts the lead, turning on the edge of the box to rifle home into the bottom corner.
Donaldson thought he had sealed the points on the hour-mark when he got above Neal to head home, but the effort was ruled out to the anger of the Griffin Park crowd.
Brentford made sure of maximum points late on as the Londoners broke quickly and Jake Bidwell's left-wing cross found Grigg unmarked in the middle to drill home from 12 yards.
Bees goalkeeper David Button was not called into action, a glancing Tom Pope header early on the visitors' only real glimpse of goal.

14 Steps That Will Evolve Your Views On Gay Marriage
Attention! People who don't like gay people! Read this!
1. Step 1: Blame yourself.
2. Step 2: Realize gay marriage is inevitable. Statistics show people's views are rapidly changing on the issue.
3. Step 3: Imagine how stupid you'll look in 40 years.
5. Step 4: Listen to Louis CK.
6. Step 5: Let go of the idea that same-sex marriage is ruining the sanctity of marriage argument.
7. Step 6: Take a closer look at the Bible.
9. Step 7: Read their story and watch their video. Try not to cry.
Ed Watson was 78-years-old with Alzheimers. He was worried that by the time the court finally ruled on Prop 8, he wouldn't be able to recognize Derence, his partner of over 40 years.
Unfortunately Ed passed away in December. He was never able to marry Derrence.
11. Step 8: Take a look at the people in your own life. How many couples do you know that have stayed together as long as these couples?
Maureen and Cindy have been together for 37 years. They live in New Jersey with their 2 children. They cannot get married.
Kathy Glass and Carmah Lawler have been together for over 30 years and are from Colorado. "Kathy has a way of being able to laugh at almost anything even though at our age there aren't that many things to laugh about," says Carmah.
Lee & Bert have been together for over 25 years. They live in Illinois. Recently, Bert had a heart attack and Lee and wasn't allowed in the emergency room because they weren't married. Lee had to tell the nurse his marital status was single even though he had been with his partner for 25 years.
14. Step 9: Imagine their wedding.
15. Step 10: Look how happy these people are.
27. Come on, seriously.
28. Step 11: Ask yourself if you could say no to these kids?
31. Step 12: Ask yourself if you could say no to Neil Patrick Harris?
32. Step 13: Look at the consequences.
33. Step 14: Imagine the alternatives.

Revelation 2012
CARVED INTO the hard stone of a hillside outside the Mexican city of Acapulco is a mysterious image that lay hidden for 4,000 years.
It shows a monkey with one foot lifted in dance. The monkey's long tail curls over its head. The primate appears to be holding a five-pointed star. As in a scene out of Alice in Wonderland, the monkey is perched on the crown of a giant mushroom. Over one shoulder, a series of dots radiates like Morse code, and by the figure's belly, more dots are arrayed around an assemblage of concentric rings. Off to the left is another constellation of three dots.
The Mexican archaeologists who uncovered this strange glyph say it was put there by the ancient Maya around 2000 BC. At that time, the grand cycle of existence laid out in the intricate Mayan calendar system was just 1,000 years old.
But the timing of the monkey's rediscovery four millennia later is remarkable, because that long age is now drawing to a close. The year 2012 is widely thought to be the end of the Mayan calendar, which has been taken by some to signal the apocalypse.
Yet hidden in the simple lines of the mushroom monkey picture may be the key to a secret that upends everything we think we know about the Maya, their calendar, and the coming apocalypse.
Carl de Borhegyi, a Maya researcher in Minneapolis, has been studying the image closely, and says it has shocking implications.
"There's all this excitement and panic right now about 2012 and the Mayan apocalypse," de Borhegyi says. "But the message contained in this image turns all that upside down.
"Let me put it this way: What if the apocalypse already happened?"
THE WORLD is gripped by fear and fascination with what will take place on December 21, 2012. The significance of the date is traced back to the ancient Maya.
"There are roots in the actual Mayan calendars and texts, of course," says Anthony Aveni, an anthropologist and astronomer at Colgate University who has studied the 2012 phenomenon. "But what we've seen is that as this phenomenon has taken root in popular culture, it's served as a vehicle for a lot of New Age ideas and other pre-existing beliefs."
The panic, which had until then mostly flourished on the internet and in specialty book shops, broke into the mainstream consciousness in 2009, when the blockbuster film 2012 brought visions of widespread devastation to a mass market.
"American religion has always been deeply rooted in apocalyptic endings, and we are coming off a decade of cataclysmic events, from 9/11 to the Japanese earthquake," Aveni says. "I get emails from people telling me they're going to commit suicide. They're taking it seriously."
That's a mistake, says de Borhegyi, who believes the 2012 end date is based on a major miscalculation.
"The Mayans used a much different calendar from the European one," de Borhegyi says. "There's always been some debate about the correlation between the two."
In the Mayan calandar, a tun is a unit of just less than 20 years. Twenty tuns are a k'atun, 20 k'atuns are a b'ak'tun, and 13 b'ak'tuns make up a "great cycle."
It is that great cycle—a 5,125-year period—that doomsayers and new-agers say is coming to a close on December 21, 2012.
But the cycle's end depends on when it began, and not everyone agrees on where to start. By the time Europeans encountered the Mayans, they had stopped using the full "long count" calendar notation in favor of an abbreviation.
"It's as though we started writing all our dates 2/25/11," de Borhegyi explains. "That gives you some information, but if someone came along afterwards, they could get confused. Are we talking about 2011? 1811? 1511?"
The dominant theory for years has been the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson correlation, which pegs the start of the cycle at 3134 BC. That fits the known dates and some of the archaeological evidence, and also squares with carbon-dating evidence.
But so does another theory, called the Spinden correlation, which lines up 260 years earlier on the European calendar.
"That's what makes this monkey so important," de Borhegyi argues. "The dots over his shoulder represent a long-count date: 126.96.36.199.2. Under the Spinden correlation, that lines up with a year known as three-monkey."
De Borhegyi points to the three dots on the left hand side of the carving. "Three," he says, then points to the central figure. "Monkey."
"If you use Goodman-Martinez-Thompson correlation, it doesn't work," he says. "All this talk about the end of the world-age, the apocalypse, Armageddon, planetary alignment—it's wrong. It's not happening in 2012. It happened 259 years ago."
THE SECURITY guards at the Milwaukee Public Museum have known about the ghost for years. Elevators spring to life on their own, invariably making their way to the third floor.
The third floor is home to the special collection of the former director of the museum, a revered Maya archaeologist killed in the prime of his life. A portrait of the man on the third floor, set into a richly carved wooden frame, shows him as he was in life: dapper, mustachioed, with slicked-back hair and a pipe set pensively to his lips.
Lance Hampel, a longtime guard at the museum, says there's no question as to the identity of the ghost, because he was positively ID'ed by a man who knew him in life.
"He saw him come out of this fake tomb wall, and then turn and go down the stairs," says Hampel. "The contractor actually knew the man in the '60s. He said he recognized him instantly."
The ghost is Stephan de Borhegyi—Carl's father.
By the time he arrived in America, Stephan de Borhegyi was like a real-life Indiana Jones. A Hungarian baron, he had fought on both sides of the Second World War before turning his attention to Egyptian archaeology. The charismatic nobleman caused quite a stir in the staid circles of American anthropology when he arrived.
"He had a reputation for being dramatic and flamboyant," recalls Suzanne Forrest, who met de Borhegyi in 1948 and married him a year later. "He enjoyed playing up being Hungarian. He was not above kissing ladies' hands."
Soon after his arrival, de Borhegyi became obsessed with the Mayans. Much less was known in those days about the ancient civilization that once stretched the length of the Yucutan peninsula and deep into present-day Guatemala. Scholars puzzled over what seemed to be the sudden collapse of a once-thriving society centuries before Europeans made their first contact with the Aztecs.
If archaeologists knew little about the cities that thrived between 2000 BC and 900 AD in the fertile lowlands, they knew even less about the Highland Maya, high in the Guatemalan mountains. It was there, in the mountains, that de Borhegyi and his wife collected evidence that suggested scholars were wrong to think of the highland region as a sparse backwater. They returned to the mountains again and again, exploring dozens of significant sites.
Meanwhile, de Borhegyi's career as a museum director was taking off, with appointments to Oklahoma and then to the Milwaukee Public Museum. But he took every available opportunity to visit Guatemala and continue his research.
As he delved deeper into the Highland Maya secrets, de Borhegyi became entranced with a set of mysterious objects he half-jokingly called "mushroom stones"—carved figures about a foot tall with broad, cap-like heads.
Word of de Borhegyi's fascination with the mushroom stones got back to Gordon Wasson, an eccentric banker who was studying the use of psychotropic mushrooms in religious rituals. De Borhegyi's research sounded promising, Wasson thought, so he invited himself and his wife down to see what they could discover together.
"They wanted to go up into the highlands and see if they could find any evidence of a mushroom cult surviving among the descendants of the Maya," de Borhegyi's widow, Forrest, remembers. "We said we'd go with them."
But as the two couples traveled among isolated villages asking about mushroom rituals, they were invariably greeted with a stony silence.
"They'd tell me if I didn't know already, I wasn't old enough to know," Forrest says.
The Wassons left Guatemala in defeat, moving on Mexico. In Oaxaca, they found what they'd been seeking: An old shaman agreed to guide Wasson through an Aztec mushroom ritual. It would be the first documented encounter with psilocybin mushroom by white man.
"I felt that I was now seeing plain, whereas ordinary vision gives us an imperfect view," Wasson wrote of his experience. "I was seeing the archetypes, the Platonic ideas, that underlie the imperfect images of everyday life. The thought crossed my mind: Could the divine mushrooms be the secret that lay behind the ancient mysteries?"
Wasson's account of his trip was published in Life and kicked off the psychedelic '60s. Wasson's mushroom samples made their way to Harvard, where Timothy Leary and Ram Dass turned on and dropped out. They were also sent to a Swiss chemist named Albert Hofmann, who synthesized the active ingredient and later became known as the father of LSD.
In Guatemala, de Borhegyi's progress on the Mayan mushroom mystery stalled, but he was making other discoveries. Using an early iteration of the Scuba technology developed by Jacques Cousteau, he pioneered one of the earliest examples of underwater archaeology at Lake Amatitlán.
In the summer of 1969, Carl was only 11, but that was old enough to join his father working on a dig. The boy found that he too had a taste for archaeology.
"I remember sitting on the dock and seeing my dad breaking the surface with these incredible figurines in his hands," Carl says. "They were like action figures to me at the time. I wanted them."
One day, Carl was walking with his father by a creek not far from the dig site when a glint of obsidian in the earth caught his eye. It was an arrowhead.
"My dad saw that, and he said, 'You'll make a great archaeologist some day,'" Carl recalls. "That made me smile."
A few months later, tragedy struck. Stephan de Borhegyi had traveled to Chicago for work, but decided to drive through the night in order to be back at the museum by Friday. In the early hours of the morning, his car lurched off North Avenue and slammed into a bridge.
De Borhegyi died instantly. He was 47.
"He had accomplished so much, but so much of his work was also left undone," Carl says. "It doesn't surprise me that the people at the museum say he haunts it. I feel his presence too. He's always over my shoulder. I feel him guiding me."
FROM THE MOMENT Carl saw the event listing, he couldn't get it out of his head: a meeting of the Maya Society at Hamline College, everyone welcome.
It had been more than 30 years since the death of his father, but Carl felt his spirit urging him forward. He called the number listed, and spoke to Phyllis Messenger, the head of the Maya Society.
"I'm interested!" Carl said.
"De Borhegyi," Phyllis said out loud, turning the caller's name over in her mouth. "Are you by any chance related to the great Mayan archaeologist Stephan de Borhegyi?"
"Yes," Carl said. "He was my father."
Suddenly, Carl couldn't stop talking. He confided in Phyllis things he had told hardly anyone—all about his father's death, how it had left a wound that had never fully healed, how after living his whole adult life away from the world of archeology, he wondered if his father wanted him to take up his work with the Maya.
Phyllis told Carl she understood. Her husband had also long been troubled by the death of someone close to him. A Maya scholar himself, Skip Messenger had been standing next to his friend and mentor Denis Puleston atop a Mayan pyramid in Chichen Itza when Puleston was struck by lightning.
"Skip tried to give him CPR, but it was no use," Phyllis told Carl, and paused. "Come to the next Maya Society meeting. I think you might find it's therapeutic."
She was right. From his first visit to the lecture hall in the Drew Science Building, de Borhegyi felt at home. The group brought some of the foremost experts on Mayan civilization to speak, and with every presentation, Carl found himself more fascinated.
He forged an especially close bond with Skip, a kind-eyed man with a Santa Claus beard who remembered meeting Carl's father. Skip invited Carl to take his class the next semester—an introduction to the Maya for Hamline undergraduates.
Carl accepted, and thrived in the program.
"He was so enthusiastic, so excited," Skip says.
After class, Carl whiled away evenings studying his father's papers. He came across repeated mentions of the mushroom mystery, and felt certain that his father must have been right: Psychoactive mushrooms played a central role in Mayan religion.
But just like his father, Carl couldn't find the evidence to prove it.
Until one night he did.
Carl was sitting alone at the dining room table, exploring an online archive of newly scanned images from Mayan funerary vases. He clicked open the first photo in the collection and his jaw dropped.
Two priestly figures stood in a procession. Emblazoned on their robes were psychedelic mushrooms.
"I started shaking," de Borhegyi remembers. "I couldn't believe it. I had found my Rosetta stone."
He rushed upstairs, where his wife, Barbara, had fallen asleep with their young son Cole.
"Wake up!" he said. "I found it! I found the mushrooms!"
Groggy, Barbara didn't immediately register the significance of her husband's words. But Cole did.
"Jeez, Mom," Cole said. "Dad just cracked the Maya code and you're not excited?"
A FEW MONTHS LATER, Carl stood anxiously fiddling with his pointer in the familiar Hamline lecture room as the Maya Society members trickled in.
Turnout looked to be good that night—nearly 100 people, an auspicious crowd for the public unveiling of his discovery.
After years with the Maya Society, Carl now sat on its board, and had a hand in selecting the experts invited to speak. He had invited his mother, Suzanne Forrest, who shared so many of his father's adventures, to talk. But at the last minute, she had injured herself on a trip.
It was the perfect moment to unveil his mushroom findings.
As the lights went down, Carl began his PowerPoint presentation, starting with a slide of the vase that triggered his epiphany.
In the months since his first discovery, he had found hundreds and hundreds of mushroom images in the vase archive. Some were obvious, others hidden in a headdress or as decorative border elements. But once you knew what to look for, the mushrooms were everywhere.
"The discovery of the mushrooms unlocks a whole new level of understanding of the Maya," Carl said. "They used these mushrooms as a sacrament to travel to the underworld, just as the god Quetzalcoatl does every day when the sun sets. That's what the jaguar imagery you see everywhere in Mayan art represents: the transformation into a being of the underworld. That's how they could throw themselves into this death cult, this ritual sacrifice and suicide and bloodletting—they were high on mushrooms."
But to Carl's dismay, not everyone in the audience was persuaded by his revolutionary discovery. Skip, his friend and mentor, thought Carl had overreached.
"He just went a little overboard," Skip says. "He was flipping through images, using the pointer, just saying, 'Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom.' There were certainly some images that I was ready to admit were mushrooms, but a lot of them were just a stretch."
Skip didn't want to pour cold water on Carl's enthusiasm, but he did want to teach him an important lesson he had learned during his own long career in academia: Grand unifying theories are usually illusory. By pursuing mushrooms as a universal key that unlocked a world of hidden meanings in Mayan artifacts, Carl might be chasing a ghost.
"There's a guy who thinks that pretty much everything in Mayan iconography can be decoded with the patterns on the back of a rattlesnake," Skip says. "There's another guy who thinks the key to this whole thing is this particular spider.
"So there's a long line of overly reductionist interpretations."
SITTING IN HIS south Minneapolis home on a recent morning, Carl says the critics don't see the pattern because they don't want to see it. For those with an open mind, the evidence is undeniable.
He gestures toward the rubbing of a Mayan frieze given to his father by a colleague half a century ago, now framed and hung on his dining room wall. The contours are rough, but it clearly shows stylized figures adorned in robes and jewelry.
"Look at the earplugs," Carl says urgently. "Mushrooms."
On his laptop, Carl cycles through some of his latest discoveries of mushroom imagery on funeral vases. He returns once again to the dancing monkey.
"Armageddon has already happened," Carl says. "We missed it. The world didn't end—it just started a new cycle."

Discretion and Incentives in Organizations
We analyze the link between workers' discretion and incentives in an organisation that lasts for several periods. In a long-lasting affiliation, it is possible for the principal to learn and update her beliefs about essential characteristics associated with either the job or the agent. This learning possibility has an important effect on the link between workers' discretion and incentives. Copyright 2000 by University of Chicago Press.
