Easy and so good. I serve the salsa on the side.
I have not made this recipe yet. Just a quick question from a beginner: if I substituted green pepper for red, would there be a significant change in taste? I don't know red pepper - what's the difference in taste? Thank you for any response.

Discovery of the theorem
This hard-won result became almost a triviality with the discovery of the fundamental theorem of calculus a few decades later. The fundamental theorem states that the area under the curve y = f(x) is given by a function F(x) whose derivative is f(x), F′(x) = f(x). The fundamental theorem reduced integration to the problem of finding a function with a given derivative; for example, xk + 1/(k + 1) is an integral of xk because its derivative equals xk.
The fundamental theorem was first discovered by James Gregory in Scotland in 1668 and by Isaac Barrow (Newton's predecessor at the University of Cambridge) about 1670, but in a geometric form that concealed its computational advantages. Newton discovered the result for himself about the same time and immediately realized its power. In fact, from his viewpoint the fundamental theorem completely solved the problem of integration. However, he failed to publish his work, and in Germany Leibniz independently discovered the same theorem and published it in 1686. This led to a bitter dispute over priority and over the relative merits of Newtonian and Leibnizian methods. This dispute isolated and impoverished British mathematics until the 19th century.
For Newton, analysis meant finding power series for functions f(x)—i.e., infinite sums of multiples of powers of x. A few examples were known before his time—for example, the geometric series for 1/(1 − x),1/(1 − x) = 1 + x + x2 + x3 + x4 +⋯,which is implicit in Greek mathematics, and series for sin (x), cos (x), and tan−1 (x), discovered about 1500 in India although not communicated to Europe (see table). Newton created a calculus of power series by showing how to differentiate, integrate, and invert them. Thanks to the fundamental theorem, differentiation and integration were easy, as they were needed only for powers xk. Newton's more difficult achievement was inversion: given y = f(x) as a sum of powers of x, find x as a sum of powers of y. This allowed him, for example, to find the sine series from the inverse sine and the exponential series from the logarithm. See Sidebar: Newton and Infinite Series.
For Leibniz the meaning of calculus was somewhat different. He did not begin with a fixed idea about the form of functions, and so the operations he developed were quite general. In fact, modern derivative and integral symbols are derived from Leibniz's d for difference and ∫ for sum. He applied these operations to variables and functions in a calculus of infinitesimals. When applied to a variable x, the difference operator d produces dx, an infinitesimal increase in x that is somehow as small as desired without ever quite being zero. Corresponding to this infinitesimal increase, a function f(x) experiences an increase df = f′dx, which Leibniz regarded as the difference between values of the function f at two values of x a distance of dx apart. Thus the derivative f′ = df/dx was a quotient of infinitesimals. Similarly, Leibniz viewed the integral ∫f(x)dx of f(x) as a sum of infinitesimals—infinitesimal strips of area under the curve y = f(x), as shown in the figure—so that the fundamental theorem of calculus was for him the truism that the difference between successive sums is the last term in the sum: d∫f(x)dx = f(x)dx.
In effect, Leibniz reasoned with continuous quantities as if they were discrete. The idea was even more dubious than indivisibles, but, combined with a perfectly apt notation that facilitated calculations, mathematicians initially ignored any logical difficulties in their joy at being able to solve problems that until then were intractable. Both Leibniz and Newton (who also took advantage of mysterious nonzero quantities that vanished when convenient) knew the calculus was a method of unparalleled scope and power, and they both wanted the credit for inventing it. True, the underlying infinitesimals were ridiculous—as the Anglican bishop George Berkeley remarked in his The Analyst; or, A Discourse Addressed to an Infidel Mathematician (1734):
They are neither finite quantities…nor yet nothing. May we not call them ghosts of departed quantities?
However, results found with their help could be confirmed (given sufficient, if not quite infinite, patience) by the method of exhaustion. So calculus forged ahead, and eventually the credit for it was distributed evenly, with Newton getting his share for originality and Leibniz his share for finding an appropriate symbolism.

"People will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy."
- President Obama [6]
A longstanding theological debate has finally made it to the halls of power on Capitol Hill-how do we go about the business of beating our "swords into ploughshares?" The current economic maelstrom has spurred renewed focus on national spending priorities. The verdict? A bloated Pentagon budget starves our nation of essential investments in health care, education, and energy independence. Last month, the president prefaced the release of his budget with a commitment to reform, "so that we are not paying for Cold War-era weapons [7] systems we don't use."
He could have been talking about the F-22 fighter jet. Designed for air-to-air combat with a Soviet interceptor that was never built, military experts agree the F-22 is unnecessary, expensive, and ill-adapted to the types of wars in which we are currently engaged. Original estimates priced the jet at $35 million. Cost-overruns, research, and development, however, have ramped up the price tag to $355 million per plane [8]. Dubbed "the fighter jet without a fight," [9] not a single F-22 mission has been flown in Iraq or Afghanistan since the start of the wars.
The U.S. already possesses 135 [10] of these jets, with an additional 52 on the way. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates [9] wisely believes that's more than enough, but congressional pork-lovers disagree. Employing a tactic called political engineering, [11] the arms industry maximizes congressional influence by spreading jobs throughout a surprising number of districts. In a tempestuous economy, these bedfellows have conspired to frame weapons manufacturing as a jobs program. With production of the jet scheduled to halt in 2011, Lockheed Martin launched a PR battle [12] claiming 95,000 jobs will be lost when the jet is discontinued. CNN [9] reports that many of these jobs would actually be moved to other projects. And economists widely agree that weapons manufacturing is one of the least efficient ways to create jobs. Re-investment in education and mass transit, for example, creates twice as many jobs [13] as investing in the military sector.
So, what will it be, swords or ploughshares? In a season of both hope and despair, perhaps the most important question we face as a nation is whether we want to invest in weapons designed to destroy or the rebuilding of America for our children. Where do our priorities lie? God said to the Hebrew people: "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live." As we weather an unrelenting economic storm, our essential choices remain the same. Set before us are life and death. Remembering the prophet Micah's words, let's favor national spending priorities that cut costly weapons so that we can invest in a better, more peaceful world for our children.

Picture This: Ryan Rodgers and Youth Group
Pelicans Fans Share the Stories Behind Their Photos
By: Blake Moore, Pelicans.com
This past season New Orleans Pelicans fans were able to submit photos to a Pelicans Nation photo wall on Pelicans.com by using the hashtag #TakeFlight or #Pelicans. We visited with a number of these fans to talk about their love of Pelicans basketball and to get the story behind their photo.
This past February, Youth Pastor Ryan Rodgers took two of his youth group members, Colby and Tyler Rhodes, to the NBA All-Star Jam Session. All three are loyal fans that attend New Orleans Pelicans games regularly. They were thrilled to see an All-Star Jam Session and share a story behind their photo.
"We were excited the All-Star team was in town and that it was representing New Orleans," Rodgers said. "We thought it would be awesome to go check it out and see how well the Pelicans could host something like that on the grand scale for the NBA and it was so cool."
Throughout the event, they experienced multiple activities and also were able to win some prizes.
"They had a basketball court where you went through a course and were able to shoot hoops," Colby said. "I really liked that."
"I really enjoyed the basketball cards. They had a bunch of cool ones that we got to keep," Tyler said. "It was a little souvenir and I still have those."
A moment they all remembered was Tyler being chosen from the crowd to go down to a court. He participated in a game with a few Hall of Fame basketball players for the chance to win a prize.
Although Tyler didn't win, he enjoyed the experience. On another note, Colby was thrown a free T-shirt while cheering from the stands.
"Pretty much every picture that I took this year at a game, I tried to hashtag it TakeFlight," Rodgers said.
This night was no different for the three fans as they eagerly took a picture with Pelicans mascot Pierre.
"When we walked into … there was Pierre almost immediately," Rodgers said. "He was just taking pictures and we had to do it. It was really cool."
All three fans said they believe the Pelicans are headed in the right direction in 2014-2015.
"It's always fun to go to games and be able to watch the players and see the live action," Tyler said. "Wearing your memorabilia, being part of the culture, being part of New Orleans and feeling like you fit in is my favorite part."

The next new treatment for breast, colon and prostate cancers, among others, may be a diabetes drug first approved in 1958.
Metformin, the most commonly used medicine to lower blood-sugar, is the subject of about 50 cancer studies globally, according to U.S. government clinical trial information compiled by Bloomberg.
The research began after scientists found metformin prevented tumors in mice and that diabetics were less likely to develop a malignancy if they were taking the 5 cents-a-day pill than other diabetes medications.
The medicine is dispensed about 120 million times annually, according to a 2010 report in the journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics.
If the latest trials on breast and other tumors are successful, the drug could become a cheap weapon in the fight against a myriad of diseases including pancreatic and ovarian cancers.
All told, cancer kills one in eight people and is the second-leading cause of death in most developed countries.
"The hope is that if it does show safety and efficacy, it would be available in a cost-effective way," said Chandini Portteus, vice president of research, evaluation and scientific programs at Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a Dallas-based breast cancer advocacy group.
"It would be wonderful for patients if we had something that we knew worked and was safe and low-cost."

Occupy San Diego a gathering of many tribes
Complaining about the messy, discouraging state of our country is easy. Doing something about it through a nonviolent occupation of a chunk of downtown San Diego on less than two weeks' notice is hard. But as the 1,500 or so people who participated in Friday's Occupy San Diego protest proved, doing something can mean everything. Even when you're not entirely sure what it is you're doing.
Like the Occupy Wall Street protest that set up camp in New York on Sept. 17 and remains there today, Occupy San Diego was formed to draw attention to a massive list of issues, most notably the huge economic gap separating the wealthiest, most powerful Americans from everybody else.
Because the movement is new and the goals are blurrier than a tie-dyed shirt, the questions most often raised about the Occupy troops are "Who are they?" and "What do they want?" And as the local protesters gathered their dogs and their kids and their banners in downtown's Children's Park for their march to the Civic Center, the answers boiled down to this:
Who are they? Everybody. What do they want? Everything. Just ask Joie Peringer.
"I'm just an average, regular person," said Peringer, a MiraCosta College tutor who turns 64 today. "And I'm here because of the umbrella of greed and how it relates to joblessness and homelessness, all the way down to the destruction of the environment."
When you think about the kind of people who can throw themselves into a movement that didn't have its first local meeting until last week, you think of young people. Or hippies. Or young hippies.
But the people who turned out for Occupy San Diego came in a variety of ages and demographic categories. There were dreadlocks and John Deere caps. Padres windbreakers and John Lennon T-shirts. There were strollers and tambourines and sleeping bags for the people who are in it for the long haul.
And judging by the protest signs and snippets of conversation, there were as many reasons for gathering as there were people who gathered. Stand in the grassy park long enough and you could hear passionate conversations about everything from health care grievances and sad mortgage stories to generalized fat-cat-related fury and the inevitable JFK conspiracy theories.
"You have a whole social-justice tradition in San Diego," University of San Diego sociologist Thomas Reifer said, citing all the way back to the 1912 Industrial Workers of the World riots that climaxed with Socialist leader Emma Goldman being booted out of the county by vigilantes.
"One thing people have in common here is that they are economically struggling. This is a region that has been struggling for a while, and the military cuts will make that even more true."
Which could be why this newbie group that started just a few weeks ago with a Facebook page and a few volunteers grew into an organization that plans to occupy downtown indefinitely. And even when the nightly meetings leading up to the protest got bogged down by the group's determination to hear every last opinion — no matter how harebrained, off-topic or uninformed — the march happened. People showed up. Banners were carried. A dinner of donated food was served.
