Developing A Millimeter-Wave Radar For An Unmanned Helicopter
The Electronic Navigation Research Institute emphasizes research that contributes to increases in volume and promotes the safety of air traffic. This case study describes the challenges involved with developing a millimeter-wave radar for an unmanned helicopter. The radar had to be flexible enough to accommodate detailed functional additions and specification changes, and had to operate as part of a comprehensive obstacle detection system. The article also explains how the researchers solved those challenges by using software and hardware from National Instruments.
CST Introduces Significant New Features for EDA Simulation

Selecting DC-DC Step-Down Voltage Regulators For WiFi RF Power Amplifier Applications
Wireless local area network RF links have been integrated into almost all facets of portable and mobile products today. New 802.11ac RF PAs often pose a challenge to portable product designers, because the RF PA input supply range is no longer compatible with direct connection to a Li-Ion/poly battery supply voltage range. This means that a voltage regulator must now be employed. Performance for an 802.11ac RF PA can be affected by the voltage regulator operation, but regulator integration can be simplified if the designer knows which key performance characteristics to evaluate in a DC-DC step-down voltage regulator.

Methods For Unambiguous Electrical Delay Measurements Using A Vector Network Analyzer
The "electrical delay" of a device may be simply defined as the time it takes an electrical signal to pass through it. It is expressed in units of time, and varies with the frequency of the signal and other factors.
Design Overview: 25W X-Band GaN PA MMIC
Gallium Nitride (GaN) MMIC processes suitable for operation at microwave frequencies are now commercially available from a number of vendors worldwide. The high breakdown voltage of GaN transistors and their ability to operate reliably at high junction temperatures make them well suited for the realization of high-power amplifiers. This case study describes the design and performance of a 25W X-band GaN PA MMIC developed with a 0.25µm GaN on SiC process.
Reliability Of GaN-Based Solid State Power Amplifiers
GaN based solid state power amplifiers (SSPAs) have extremely attractive properties, making them ideal for use in both ground applications and space-based satellite communication systems. However, there is a limited amount of information available on the reliability of this new technology. The purpose of this paper is to describe the underlying complexities associated with GaN based SSPAs, and to present the methodology and findings of an extensive R&D program that correlated theoretical results with field data, demonstrating the reliability of GaN based SSPAs.

4 Electronic Design Requirements Of The System-Integrated Soldier
Perhaps most famously portrayed in Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers (1959), the idea of the "future soldier" has been around for decades. As rehashed in countless science fiction films and video games, the stereotypical future soldier is equipped with a protective exoskeleton, enhanced sensory equipment, seamless communication systems, and advanced weaponry. While the concept once seemed implausible, there are many real-world projects under way focused on realizing those seemingly fictitious warfighter capabilities — by integrating a plethora of diverse electronic subsystems into a cohesively operational suit.
7 Noteworthy Technologies From IMS2014
At the 2014 IEEE MTT International Microwave Symposium earlier this month, I had the opportunity to speak with the event's general chair, Dr. Larry Dunleavy, about the state of the RF and microwave design industry. While he acknowledged that it is a time of relative uncertainty — due in large part to constrained military budgets and conservative fiscal forecasts for 2014 — he also pointed out that there are plenty of emerging markets where RF and microwave technology is making a significant impact. With the Internet of Things (IoT) driving innovation in burgeoning markets like automotive and healthcare and the development of 5G pushing wireless technology to further heights, there was good reason for nearly 600 companies to flock to the IMS2014 exhibition in Tampa, Fla.

EM De-Embedding Magic – Part 3: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
In Part 1, I described the EM analysis port calibration algorithm that I developed almost 30 years ago and has been in use in Sonnet ever since. At first glance, it might seem like the technique can be applied only to "lonely" ports — ports that have no interaction or coupling with any other nearby ports. In Part 2, I showed how the algorithm can be easily extended to calibrate and de-embed as many tightly coupled ports as needed. Yes, a couple equations are needed, but once you get familiar with them, the process is really easy to do. Everything works so well, one might think that nothing could possibly go wrong.

If confirmed, Johnson would be fifth GSA administrator in 14 months
Martha Johnson, President Barack Obama's nominee to lead the General Services Administration, seems to be all but a shoo-in for the job.
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said at Johnson's June 3 confirmation hearing that he would work to quickly get her nomination approved by the committee and then the Senate. He also said Obama made a "very wise choice" in nominating her.
"GSA, the president and the government need you to be at your desk," he told Johnson as he concluded the hearing, which lasted 57 minutes.
Senators who attended the hearing noted Johnson's qualifications and experience in the nonprofit and private sectors in addition to the federal government arena, particularly as chief of staff at GSA in the 1990s when David Barram was administrator.
Johnson said she would be thrilled to go back to GSA. The agency has many challenges, from making federal buildings more environmentally efficient to giving GSA employees a morale boost.
"'Thrilled' is actually a code word for me and for the agency," she said. Thrilled is how she hopes GSA's customers feel about its services as the agency tries to reattract skeptical customers.
Johnson said her highest priorities are to:
Sens. Lieberman and Susan Collins (R-Maine), the committee's ranking minority member, reiterated to Johnson that agencies have turned from GSA to do their own procurements because they're skeptical of its services.
"Some agencies have lost confidence in the ability of GSA to provide the best products and at the best prices and have begun to negotiate their own contracts that duplicate services offered by GSA," Lieberman said. "That defeats the purpose of GSA."
The wave of new interagency contracts shows the market's skepticism of GSA's performance, Johnson said. But another major underlying issue that has driven agencies to do their own procurements is simply their ability to do them, she said. Legislative changes made in the 1990s, including the Clinger-Cohen Act, lifted rules making GSA the primary mandatory source for buying certain products and services. As a result, agencies decided to take the work into their own hands. They could more tightly control and tailor their work to suit their needs, she said.
Johnson said she would bring business back to GSA through "thrilling the customer" with better performance than the agency has delivered in the past. To do that, she said, the agency will need to become more efficient, come to know its customers intimately and provide innovative solutions to their problems.
Although the competition among contracts often brings better value and lower prices, too much overlap of contracts can have the opposite effect, Johnson said. Yet she doesn't believe in GSA being a monolithic source for purchasing.
Lieberman said he will count on her to solve the problem of the spread of too many contracts.

God is never surprised by what happens to us and is never caught unprepared for it.
God wants our lives to be filled with fruit that will bring health and healing to this world.
Take care of the things that you can take care of and ask God to take care of the rest.
If we want the grace of God to flow fully in our lives, humility is required.
God's love doesn't end when our circumstances go bad.
The resources of God are right beneath the surface of your life.
What does God want in return for this day He has given you? He wants you to rejoice and be glad in it.
Only when we die to ourselves can we really begin to live.
We are not defeated by what happens to us. We are defeated by what we think about what happens to us.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth:
A right time for birth and another for death,
A right time to plant and another to reap,
A right time to kill and another to heal,
A right time to destroy and another to construct,
A right time to cry and another to laugh,
A right time to lament and another to cheer,
A right time to make love and another to abstain,
A right time to embrace and another to part,
A right time to search and another to count your losses,
A right time to hold on and another to let go,
A right time to rip out and another to mend,
A right time to shut up and another to speak up,
A right time to love and another to hate,
A right time to wage war and another to make peace.
Just because it doesn't look like much now, doesn't mean that it won't turn in to something big.
God is not a prison guard. He is a deliverer.
For too many people, the past is a tombstone when it should be a cornerstone.
God desires that we live passionate lives in Him.
The question that life forces us to answer is not "Why?" but "What are you going to do about it?

I used to say, "if it's too loud you're too old."I used to say a lot of things.
When my daughter and I went to Phantom of the Opera I noticed that the noise of the casino was really getting to me. Plus, I didn't like the crowds of people. They were talking loudly and then there was the inevitable coughing and sneezing.
Great.Now, I'm a germaphobe.
Funnily enough, I can turn my ipod up and it doesn't bother me, but, put me in a room of loud people and the noise really bothers me. I know that noise sensitivity is a marker for Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. It's as if the brain goes on overload and the increase in pain almost causes widespread panic. I have to tell you, as much as I loved seeing Phantom, the volume in that room was another issue all together.
It's almost as if the volume settles in my spinal cord and works it's way up to the brain, all the while increasing in intensity.
I noticed it as well in the gym today. It was noisier than usual. Fortunately, the walking path is on the perimeter so I'm away from it. As I got closer to the area with the treadmills it got louder and louder. This isn't anything new but today I noticed it more than ever.
Does the sensitivity to noise and light fluctuate in the same way that our symptoms do?
Studies have been done and the results showed that Fibromyalgia patients have an increased and exaggerated response to noxious stimuli as compared to the control group. Another survey found that there could be an aggravation of the symptoms due to weather, noise, light and stress.
I'm used to a lot of stimuli. I used to study and read with the TV on or had music playing. Couple that with being interrupted with questions or comments. Hey, it was no big deal. Actually I found it difficult to have it real quiet. Now, all bets are off.
It sounds to me like we have a central nervous system issue involving sensory amplification and that amplification causes pain.
Does a magnesium deficiency cause the noise sensitivity or tinnitus? Would it help to take more magnesium?
I guess the only thing to do is to remove myself from the noise.
Quiet is good.
I could be wrong.
Just sayin..........

Larry Hernández Highest-Paid Singer in the World
- By Carol Kearney

- Last updated on
Hot news
- Rumor November 2014
- Love November 21, 2014
It's been a rough year for the singer, but at least he has his millions of dollars to ease the pain. 37-year-old Larry Hernández has taken the No. 1 spot on People With Money's top 10 highest-paid singers for 2014 with an estimated $96 million in combined earnings.
UPDATE 25/11/2014 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Larry Hernández tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2012 it looked like the singer's spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 24) that Hernández is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $96 million between October 2013 and October 2014, a nearly $60 million lead over his closest competition.
People With Money's factors
In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The American singer has an estimated net worth of $275 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the "Fat Hernández Burger" chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the "Los Angeles Angels"), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhernández - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Larry) and a fashion line called "Larry Hernández Seduction".
The ranking is significant for many Larry fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.

Tour d'Azerbaidjan 2014 finished, winner announced - PHOTOS
12 May 2014 [09:00] -
Justin Jules (La Pomme Marseille) won the final stage of the Tour d'Azerbaidjan, while Ilnur Zakarin (Rusvelo) won the overall title. Jules won the bunch sprint on Baku's Freedom Square ahead of Youcef Reguigui (MTN Qhubeka) and Adrian Honkisz (CCC Polsat).
Zakarin successfully defended the leader's jersey he won on the previous day's Queen Stage. Vitaliy Buts (Kolss) and Darren Lapthorne (Drapac) rounded out the final podium.
"It was a very tough day and a hard circuit," said Zakarin. "The team protected me in the stage and in fact in the whole race. My first thanks go to my teammates, who earned the victory."
It was the first win of the year for the 28-year-old Frenchman, who had placed 12th on the race's third stage. "The climbing on the laps was very difficult," he said. "The selection today was done by the back of the race and not by the front."
The King of the Mountains jersey went to Linus Gerdemann (MTN Qhubeka), best young rider wasRobert Power (National Team Australia), the sprint jersey was awarded to Vitaly Buts (Kolss), and MTN Qhubeka was the best team overall. Samir Jabrayilov (Synergy Baku) was named the best Azeri rider.
There was no wind but a high temperature for the closing stage, which sing stage consisted of a 120 lap starting and ending at Freedom Square in Baku, and then six laps of a difficult circuit course through downtown Baku, including cobblestones and a category three climb – a short but steep climb up the cobbles of Old Town Baku.
By the 40 km marker, three riders had managed to put 40 seconds on the field. David de la Fuente (Torku), Samir Jabrayilov (Synergy Baku) and Thomas Vaubourzeix (La Pomme Marseille) were finally successful in establishing a break. Their gap climbed steadily up to 6 minutes, before dropping after they hit the turning point on their way back to the closing circuits in Baku.
The field circled back to Baku and the start/finish line, crossing it and setting out on the first of the city circuit laps with a 4:05 gap. Vaubourzeix led the head group across to win the third sprint of the day,with the field flying along behind them, and the gap continually declining. It had fallen to 1:30 as they set out on the third lap.
Jabrayilov was dropped on that lap, and the peloton split as multiple attacks formed. The field was unwilling to let anyone else get away and the gap to the two leaders fell to under a minute.
The gap moved under a minute as the chasing teams scented blood. Two more riders jumped in chase, Gianfranco Zilioli (Androni Giacattoli) and Klemen Stimulak (Adria Mobil). With 26 km to go they caught the two leaders, and the foursome had a 40 second lead on the field.
They too were caught, and a small group of about 40 riders set out on the final lap of the race.

A friend visits from Los Angeles two or three times a year. Often when he's here, the topic of sleeplessness creeps into conversation. Last time, I invited him to tell me about it.
"I have no problem falling asleep," he said. That's understandable. He's one of the hardest working people I know. At day's end, he's exhausted. "But after a couple hours, I wake up and can't go back to sleep. My thoughts are racing with things I have to do or problems or creative ideas. I can't stop thinking. My mind is spinning like a, like a…"

Ahh, democracy. Every few months, we as a nation demonstrate our collective intelligence, proving there's a reason why great thinkers from Plato to Voltaire and through the ages said that democracy, as a form of government, is not the best choice. Critics maintain it's a form of organized mob rule. Some say it's just a clever cover for corporatocracy. Certainly it's hard to deny that our country is run as an oligarchy, especially when the acknowledged presidential frontrunner from the Republican Party in 2016 is the third Bush out of Texas — and his opponent is likely a second Clinton. Yet many of us go mark ballots in a perversion of a poll dance but with clothes on.

A college freshman calls on his girlfriend at her parent's house. Waiting for her to come downstairs, he asks her mom if he can go to the kitchen for a glass of water. In the cabinet next to the sink, he reaches a glass and something else — his girlfriend's 12-year-old sister's giant bottle of prescription Ritalin, at least 100 pills inside. He pockets 3 or 4, finishes his water and turns on his best Eddie Haskell as he returns to the living room. A modern tale of today's depraved teenage druggies? No. True Confessions: that was I, in 1969.
See, little "Jackie", we'll call her, was diagnosed as being "hyperactive" and prescribed Ritalin, proving our fascination with drugging our…

If you were watching game one of the World Series and paying attention, you had to be shocked. Shocked, not because "Big Game" James Shields was rocked but because you saw a commercial in some ways as monumental as the famous 1984 Macintosh Super Bowl advert. Whole Foods Market has gone big time.
For the first time ever, the leading grocery store chain specializing in organic, real, local-ish, and "natural" food has dipped its toe into the waters of national marketing. A full-blown, full-length Whole Foods commercial ran on prime time network television, marking a departure from the company's longtime (non-)marketing strategy. This is huge.
Though operating over 385 stores worldwide, with most of those in the US, Whole Foods…

Pig sh*t is generally considered to be one of the best natural fertilizers known. Bullsh*t not so much. But bull is what pro-GMO lackeys enjoy spreading.
The pro-GMO lobby has tripled its spending this year in an effort to convince consumers that it's okay to keep genetically engineered ingredients secret in the foods we eat. It is estimated that 90 percent of all processed food in American supermarkets contain genetically altered DNA yet the Grocery Manufacturers Association, Monsanto and other GMO companies want to keep that hidden from you. I stress "American supermarkets" because most of the rest of the world labels GMO food or bans it outright. Only in America do corporate profits so drastically trump consumer rights and…

The Good
Perdue Chickens Lead the Flock. Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? For Perdue Farms, the third largest chicken producer in the country, it all starts with eggs. You gotta hatch 'em before you can raise them into chicken nuggets. In Salisbury, Md., the Perdue hatchery there processes 1 million eggs a week. And Perdue operates 15 hatcheries around the country. Each one of the eggs gets poked with a vaccination needle so the chicken embryo inside is safe from a common virus. In the past, that needle also injected an antibiotic. But since the livestock industry uses more than 80 percent of all antibiotics sold, they are the major factor in creating antibiotic resistant bacteria which…

I wake up after a few minutes. The battle is over. My right arm is still bleeding. I try to heal myself but I don't have a lot of energy. I only want to find him. My wound is deep and still bleeding. I put my hand over it. I need him. Now. My head feels like a roller coaster. I don´t change my warrior costume, I don´t want to lie to my friends anymore, maybe Thor has already told them about me. I walk in from the balcony to find the Avengers, weapons aimed towards a dazed Loki.

I run to Clint.
"Here are the codes, you'll need them to get in."
"Why are you doing this?" I shrug my shoulders.
"How about you?" I ask.
"He is my Lord and Master, I serve him." He replies immediately as if it is the most obvious thing in the world.
"I am doing this because I love him, I want to stop Loki's madness. Just look at yourself." I say to Clint.
"How are you going to get to the helicarrier?" I smile mischieviously.
"I have my ways." I turned and left. Yes, it's official, I was helping Loki and Tony too. I give and order to JARVIS telling him to let Tony see everything that I have done and to pass on the message to

Battle of New York part 1
The whole S.H.I.E.L.D. base has been ordered to evacuate, but I need to get inside.
"You can't go inside." A soldier informs me as he steps to block my way,
"I must!" I yell at him over the noise. "I need to protect Dr. Selvig and the Tesseract. Directory Fury needs me there." The two closest soldiers look at each other before moving aside to let me pass. "Thank you."
I quickly run through the halls towards the Tesseract. Everywhere around me there are sirens and the signs of chaos. Phil directs me towards the Tesseract room and looks at me, slightly surprised, as I run to the epicentre of it all.
"Stop!" Agent Coulson yells at me, but it's too late.
"Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. Once you accept that, in your heart..." Loki says without emotion before touching his scepter to Clint's

I am the cure to the cancer that plagues the city
You got beef with me, you're getting no pity

City school tours: Proceed with caution
Last week there was a minor political controversy about Manchester elected officials organizing parental tours of the local public schools. It's funny how politics can mess up a good idea.
School board member John Avard and Alderman Patrick Arnold organized tours of Gossler Park Elementary, Northwest Elementary and Parker-Varney Elementary. They are to take place on Thursday, Nov. 29. Mayor Ted Gatsas and four other school board members objected to these politician-led tours.
Though parents ought to have access to the schools, Gatsas said, he was concerned about classroom disruptions and child safety. Having politicians lead groups of parents through the schools while they are in session was a bad idea, he said. The school board voted 7-5 to approve the tours anyway.
Avard and Arnold might have the kernel of a good idea, but Gatsas' concerns are valid. A better way to get parents involved would be to schedule more open houses.
It is much more informative for parents and school staff members if parents can tour facilities while teachers and administrators are available to answer questions.
That also would prevent the tours from becoming distractions for students and teachers.
The public schools belong to the people, and they ought to be accessible. But for obvious reasons, trotting large groups through the schools while they are in session is problematic. The board ought to work with the district to add another open house or two to the calendar. And if school board members want to bring parents through the schools, they ought to be able to do that, but only in small groups that won't disrupt classes or pose safety concerns for students.

text: Hello Teachers, Did anyone go out on Sunday night to recite poetry to the moon? My daughter and I did. She made up a poem, in fact. The moon was magnificent: at about 8 p.m. it was as big and orange as a Harvest Moon cliche! In this issue, lesson ideas are both topical and timeless and they run the gamut from the computer game/violence connection to Zen to the whole science vs. theory debate, Chinese-style. I think each one can promote interesting discussions about contemporary life on a national and international scale. I hope you agree. As you might know, here at the Center we are managing an initiative and a website under the aegis of the Kansas Committee for International Education in the Schools (www.kansasintheworld.org). If any of you use any of the lesson suggestions and ideas found in Outreach Notes or create your own successful international ed lessons, would you please email me and tell me how they went ? I would love to spotlight your most successful international lessons on the Best Practices webpage. I. IN THE CLASSROOM a. Lethal Computer Games in Korea b. The Zen of Zen Gardens c. Science or Superstition: A feng shui controversy II. EVENTS AND EXHIBITS a. Hair Power: Recent Drawings by Hong Zhang b. Korean Film c. The Sacred and the Secular: Buddhist Imagery in Religious and Popular Contexts d. International Career Day at KU III. TEACHERS' WORKSHOP a. Kansas City Japan Festival K-12 Teachers' Workshop a. KOREA -- LETHAL COMPUTER GAMES (K-12) Can computer game playing become a fatal obsession? Here is an article about a man in Korea whose obsession led to his death. A story like this can inspire a debate about an important global issue: Just how involved are we becoming in our cyber universe? Is the line between virtuality and reality becoming too blurred particularly in so-called MMOPRGs (massively multi-player on- line role playing games: see article for more on this) And how healthy is this? Is it causing us to pay less attention to the problems and pleasures of the real world? A debate would be interesting with one side making the argument that computer games are just entertainment and the other arguing that virtual reality is "destroying" our connection to "real" reality. Also, what do they think of computer games as a professional sport? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4137782.stm b. JAPAN -- THE ZEN OF ZEN GARDENS (K-12) The purpose of a Zen garden is to promote contemplation and meditation. Many Zen gardens through the ages, have been created by Buddhist Monks who pour their faith and spirituality into their work. Here is a link to an article about an 18th-generation monk whose gardens are considered works of art. After discussing and listing the important elements of a Zen garden with your classes, perhaps you could have your students design one. Maybe you could even get the school to give you outdoor space to create a Zen garden. I've also included a link to a page that will give you some ideas on how to create a Zen garden as well as a website featuring photos of Zen gardens. The last link below will take you to the KCTA webpage: click on Teacher Resources then on High School then scroll down to find a lesson plan entitled "Creating a Japanese garden". One Monk's Zen Garden Art http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?fa20050831a1.htm The Basics of Zen Gardens http://www.japanesegifts.com/zencreate.htm Photos of Zen Gardens http://images.google.com/images?q=zen+gardens&hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004- 42,GGLD:en&sa=N&tab=ii&oi=imagest Click here for a lesson plan about making your own Zen garden. Remember: click on Resources for Teachers, then High School then scroll down, look for the title "Creating a Japanese Garden" and click right on the title. http://www.kcta.ku.edu/index.html c. CHINA -- SCIENCE OR SUPERSTITION? A FENG SHUI CONTROVERSY (Gr. 6-12) Here in Kansas, a battle is raging over introducing the idea of intelligent design into the school curriculum. In China, a similar battle has begun: should feng shui be taught as a science in schools or is it just a superstition? Here is an article that talks about this fledgling conflict in China's halls of education. After reading the article, you might have your students discuss the similarities and differences between the controversy here in the US and the controversy in China. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/09/15/china.fengshui.reut/index.html II. EVENTS AND EXHIBITIONS a. Hair Power: Recent Drawings By Hong Zhang September 19-October 28, 2005 Drawings exploring hair imagery by Hong Zhang, an artist from China and wife of CEAS faculty member John Kennedy, are currently hanging in the Kansas Union Gallery and will be there through October 28, 2005. These graphite drawings are beautifully rendered, witty and Magritte- like in their surrealism. The Union Gallery located on the 4th floor of the Kansas Union, is open Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. at 4.30 p.m. b. Korean Film Thursday, September 22 at 7:00 p.m., the Spencer Museum of Art at KU will screen the South Korean feature film A Single Spark (1996, Park Kwang-su) as part of the "At Work" film series being programmed in conjunction with the Lee Friedlander At Work exhibition. Admission is free. Based on real life Korean political/labor activist Jeong Tae-il, A Single Spark chronicles his struggle to enforce anti-sweatshop labor laws in the face of government corruption and apathy. Jeong ended his life in protest by dousing himself with gasoline and burning himself. This film was well received at its screening at the 46th Berlin Film Festival. CEAS faculty member Michael Baskett will introduce the film. c. The Sacred and the Secular: Buddhist Imagery in Religious & Popular Contexts This new exhibit opening in the Spencer Museum's Asian Gallery on October 4th illustrates how Buddhism manifests itself in Asian Art. d. International Career Day at KU On October 6, the Office of International Programs at the University of Kansas invites area high school students who are interested in learning about international career opportunities to the International Career Workshop. Participants can learn about job opportunities from area international businesses, not-for profits, and government agencies. If you are interested in bringing your students to this event, please check out the registration procedure at the website below. http://www.international.ku.edu/events/ICW/05/index.shtml III. TEACHERS' WORKSHOP a. The Greater Kansas City Japan Festival 2005 K-12 Teachers' Workshop October 8, 9 a.m.-12 Noon Johnson County Community College Overland Park There are still a few spots left for our workshop "Beyond Origami: Art-driven Lessons About Japan". The workshop will consist of lectures by KU Faculty and workshops including one on making a Samurai helmet and one of Japanese brush and ink calligraphy. The workshops are led by KU faculty and K-12 Art teachers. Admission is free. To sign up, please send an email to me at email@example.com.

Grill the last course with upside down cake
By Judith Dunbar Hines For Sun-Times Media July 10, 2014 5:34PM
Upside Down Dessert, a prepared by Judith Dunbar Hines. | Photo by Richard A. Chapman/Sun-Times
Upside-Down dessert
8 to 10 servings
2 tablespoons butter
1⁄2 cup brown sugar
1⁄4 cup orange juice
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pound fruit (approximately 3 cups)
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
2⁄3 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 stick room-temperature butter
3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
Prepare grill for indirect medium heat.
Assess the available fruits — pit and thickly slice peaches, plums and apricots. Cut rhubarb into 1" pieces. Use blueberries and raspberries as-is. Prepare and measure 3 cups.
In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over direct medium heat, melt butter and add brown sugar, juice and spices. Cook, stirring, until sugar has melted and liquid bubbles and thickens, about 2 minutes. Add fruit, toss in the caramel, then pat down in a single layer.
Combine dry ingredients and whisk together. Combine buttermilk, eggs, zest and vanilla in another bowl.
In large mixer bowl, whip butter and sugar 2-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Add buttermilk mixture and then slowly add dry ingredients. Blend smooth; spread over fruit in pan.
Place pan over indirect medium heat and watch temperature gauge to keep heat near 350 degrees. With lid closed, bake 40-50 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Place a serving plate over top and carefully flip cake onto serving platter.
NOTE: Indoors, make topping over medium burner. Bake cake at 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes.

Amid the many suggestions for summer grilling — burgers, pizza and chicken — there is little offered to feed the sweet tooth. But everyone enjoys dessert, and special summer fetes require it.
My countertop fruit bowl offered a mixture of fruits, some not in their prime. There were luscious blueberries beckoning from the refrigerator and some last-of-the-season rhubarb needed attention. What could I do with this celebration of summer?
When George Stephen invented the kettle grill in Chicago's West Loop in 1951, I'm sure he was not thinking dessert. But years of experimenting by avid outdoor cooks has produced ideas far beyond the burger and hot dog.
I turned to the griller's handbook, "Weber's Way to Grill." There I found this upside-down dessert, which takes the cake, literally. Then I made it my own by substituting a bounty of local fruits for the canned pineapple.
The caramelizing process infuses the fruit with a sticky, delicious topping when upended. If the cake cools too much and won't easily tip out of the pan, replace the pan on the warm grill for about one minute, which should warm it just enough to allow it to release.
If you are unlucky with weather — or don't have a backyard or grill — this cake is quite fine made using stove top and oven.
Here's a tip of the pan to American ingenuity that gave us the kettle grill and the desire to take grilling in an uncommon direction.
