The Children's House program, also know as the primary program, is a classroom community of children from 2.5 years of age to 6 years of age who gather and grow together in a prepared environment. This environment is specially designed to appeal to the primary aged child and is filled with developmentally appropriate materials which help the child in his ultimate work of "creating the adult he is to become".
During the ages of 3-6 years of age a child is in a distinctive period of learning which Dr. Montessori described as "The Conscious Absorbent Mind". This plane is of fundamental importance for the formation of the individual. The absorbent mind is characterized by the "Sensitive Periods". These periods enable the child to absorb new concepts or skills such as language, order, refinement of the senses, movement, and social relations at specific times. The child in this stage wants to be free to work independently within a structured environment doing real activities with an intelligent purpose.

Keeping with my current obsession with Group B rally and looking to keep a pattern going, I present to you a compilation video of various Group B cars, and more importantly, the glorious sounds they make. While there are always going to be cars that make wonderful noises that make you feel all tingly inside, you'll be hard pressed to find anything that is as aurally pleasing as the likes of an Audi Quattro hammering on the rev-limiter. Everything about Group B was absolutely mythic. The speed, the power, the sound, the driving conditions (whether that be the weather itself or the audacity of the crowds). One might even think that the Gods themselves took on the sport, which would explain the talent behind the wheel. But that's enough rambling from me. Sit back, turn up the volume, and enjoy!
:: Jonathan McWhorter
Absolutely fantastic video of an epic era in rally history. The sounds and sights are amazing, the speeds were bonkers and the safety regulations sheer lunacy.
Also, take some time to spot the odd ones out between the famous. Ofcourse there are the Lancia 037, Delta and Stratos and ofcourse there's the Peugeot 205 Turbo-16 and Renault 5 Turbo, Audi Quattro and Ford RS200.
However there's also a Nissan 240rs in there, a Mazda Rx7 (that was recently featured here or on speedhunters in a post I belive). There's also Citroën BX 4TC, Ferrari 308GTB, Porsche 911, BMW M1 and the list goes on.
This was an instant favorite video for me, thanks!
love these cars!
Love it! Those Renault hatches are wicked!

The Kitchen: on Pearl Street, in Boulder, Colorado, you'll find "the greenest restaurant in the West."
Ran into Hugo Matheson, a longtime friend and the man and vision behind much of the greatness that has been The Kitchen over the last five years. We had a great talk about the below "editor's note," he was understandably a little disappointed, and sought to remind me that The Kitchen really strives to walk its talk in a way few restaurants care to do—that if they cut prices they can't support the amazing, and in many cases "slow food" or local farmers and fishermen, etc. I was chastened, and asked Hugo to try and do a little more to remind The Kitchen's many fans of why we love it, even in these tough economic times. He reminded me that it's not like The Kitchen is getting rich, what it does costs more and in fact times have been tight for The Kitchen, along with everyone else.
So I'll be honored and happy to return to my spot at the bar downstairs and reschedule lunch meetings and dinners and drinks Upstairs—at such time as elepahnI gets a few more advertisers on board. Until then, it'll be Chipotle, Burnt Toast, Mountain Sun, Sunflower, Hapa—all of whom either support elephant and/or are eminently affordable, and to some degree or other mindful in their food sourcing and business practices. In any case, I of course encourage all turistas, as written in my original review below, and better-off citizens of Boulder to support what is, in my opinion, one of the best green-minded restaurants anywhere.
Editor's Note: while The Kitchen is theoretically still my favorite restaurant in town…it's become a little too expensive for me. Lunch has gone from an affordable luxury that I indulged in alone (at the golden salvaged wooden bar) two times a week, and in a meeting at a table once a week…to something I never, ever do. I miss it. Breakfast, one of the best in town (or anywhere) is gone for now, replaced by a tapas-like menu in the afternoon that neither I nor anyone else with a job find it convenient to attend (though the idea of a relaxed, community-focused time is wonderful, and in keeping with The Kitchen's genesis). Upstairs at The Kitchen, long Boulder's only civilized yet-still-fun open lounge or loft-like bar, has become prohibitively expensive—recently I paid $12 or $13 including tip and tax for a beer. One. Beer.
When I'm making more dough, I'll go back—the place still combines elegance and local, organic, free range foodie values in a way that makes it deserve its top Gourmet magazine ranking. Just wish they had a few more affordable choices for lunch and drinks.
PS: I wrote this addendum to my original, enthusiastic review of this, my favorite restaurant only after hearing, unprompted, from a few friends (who are better off than I) that The Kitchen had become too pricey. Perhaps The Kitchen is going through tough times with the economy being down and all—thus the sudden super-priciness.
~~~ original review below ~~~
I've probably gone to The Kitchen about 2,000 times over the past five years since they opened (don't do the math). Why? Because if I were a restaurant I'd want to be The Kitchen:
…Eco-responsible, slow food, locally-sourced—but not hippie.
…Fine dining—but not overly pretentious.
…Elegant—but fun.
Of course, I used to go a lot more…when you could get lunch (in my case, veggie sandwich with greens and dry capp with hand-rolled cwoissant [as I pronounce it, most carefully] for maybe $14 including tip). It's gone up a few bucks over the years, not bad, but enough to make it more of a seldom treat than a two or three times a week kinda thing.
If you want to enjoy Boulder at its sunniest, go for Brunch on a weekend with a love and read the Times.
As for dinner, like my other Boulder fave Frasca it's well out of my independent-journalist price-range but well worth it if it's in your price range.
Post-dinner, when I wanna go or stay out, I oft go Upstairs…at the Kitchen. Upstairs is pretty much Boulder's only elegant, modern lounge (St. Julien has a good, big lounge area, too). Everyone knows your name—which makes it a difficult place for a first date. For years I got a light dinner Upstairs, where things seemed a bit more affordable, with a single or double Talisker or MacAllan plus a beer or two if I was feeling happy…until I realized how much it was…now I stick to a couple sides: the world's best garlic fries with home-made mayo or dijon, greens, flat bread…and a solitary, quality local brew (I'm an old man, these days. More than a few drinks and I want to go to bed).
So, if you want your dining-out-dollars to help build a more mindful, modern world—and you happen to be in Boulder—pay a visit to The Kitchen, and/or Upstairs at the Kitchen. And if you see me there, say hey—unless I look awkward and distracted and am sitting with someone far too good for me. In which case, if you please, just let me be.

This is my first stop on my next trip to Boulder! Frasca will be second…
Still kinda miss Fred's though.
The Kitchen's happy hour (which lasts for exactly one hour: 5:30-6:30) is surprisingly affordable, and un-surprisingly yummy. Beer of the day is $2, house wine I think is $4/glass and a large portion of delicious garlic fries also comes in under $5.

Philadelphia, PA – The Harvard Crimson traveled to Philadelphia for their Ivy League Opener. The Quakers used 2 goals and an assist from attackman Will Phillips, along with Zandy Reich and DJ Andrzejewski both adding a goal and an assist each. Will Phillips extended his scoring streak to 25 games with his three point day. For Harvard, senior Jake McKenna added 11 saves, while nearly being matched by Penn's Ryan Kelly who had 10 saves.
The game started with Harvard controlling the ball for the better part of the first two minutes. Ryan Kelly came up with a save for Penn and shortly thereafter junior midfielder Zandy Reich opened the scoring on the day. Reich, despite his man still keeping in solid contact, was able to get a shot that while not the fastest was well placed to beat McKenna to give Penn the 1-0 lead. A minute and twenty four seconds later, Pat Rogers was leading Penn into the transition. Rogers was able to get his man to turn his back to him as he changed directions, and found Will Phillips who ripped a low-to-high shot right under the crossbar.
The Crimson managed to slow the ball down considerably on offense in order to play a very controlled game and to run through their looks. Penn's defense was up for the challenge, however. The Crimson ran through their plays consistently all day, but Penn's defense continuously refused to break, eventually causing Harvard to either force a long pass or take a misguided shot that Ryan Kelly easily stopped.
With a little under 2 minutes left in the first quarter, DJ Andrzejewski tried to beat the Harvard shortstick defender. He was unable to beat him despite working many angles and trying for upwards of 15 seconds. As he finally started to pull it out, the Harvard defense had seemingly lost track of Phillips, Andrzejewski found him and Phillips put the Red and Blue up 3-0. Harvard would notch their first goal with six seconds remaining in the first quarter as Evan Calvert found Mike McBride on a man-up opportunity to make the game 3-1 in favor of Penn after the 1st.
Three and a half minutes into the second period, Zandy Reich drove hard down the box-side wing causing Harvard to slide. He banged the ball to a wide-open Luke Dixson at X (who's man had slid) who then pushed hard around the cage for Penn's 4th goal. Harvard freshman Greg Cohen added to his team-leading point total about four minutes later. Cohen attempted to beat Penn captain Pat Connelly and in the process drew the holding call when he started to inside roll. As he came off of the inside roll, he put the ball past Kelly, giving Harvard their second goal and wiping off the penalty.
Harvard would move to within one of Penn at the 3:47 mark as senior Anders Johnson drove hard from X beating his man top-side at the tail-end of a lengthy Harvard possession. Both defenses seemed to be playing so strongly that it seemed the best place to attack was from X in the hopes of beating their man top-side.
In a nice coaching move, the Quakers called a timeout with the ball and 30 seconds remaining in the half in order to get the right personnel on the field and set up their best possible look at the net. 13 seconds later Zandy Reich fed James Riordan for Penn's 5th goal. Ryan Kelly would help send the game into the half at 5-3 as he made a point blank save with 2 seconds remaining in the half.
Neither team was able to put a dent in the scoreboard during the third period as both teams traded long possessions. Jake McKenna came up big for Harvard in the third as he contributed 5 saves. It wouldn't take long into the fourth before Penn would put the game out of reach. Ethan Haire won the opening faceoff of the fourth period and was able to draw an unnecessary roughness penalty 13 seconds in. On the ensuing man-up, Will Phillips found PJ Gilbert for the sophomore's 7th goal of the season. 9 seconds after that goal, Penn again drew a penalty off of the faceoff, this time a slashing on Alex Vap. Penn again capitalized on the man advantage. At the 13:35 mark, DJ Andrzejewski took a Alex Salihi pass and put the Quakers up 7-3 after the Quakers had patiently worked the ball around waiting for the opening.
The game got a little ugly as there were numerous penalties called in the 4th quarter. Harvard freshman Greg Cohen was able to draw 4 penalties on one touch of the ball as he displayed a nice arsenal of moves. Harvard was able to take advantage of one of the man-up opportunities as Evan Calvert pulled the Crimson to within three off of a Jeff Gotschall pass with 12:23 to play. Ryan Kelly and the Penn defense continued to hold off the Harvard attack until Harvard's Sean Kane added the Crimson's 5th and final goal of the day.
Both teams were evenly matched with Harvard outshooting Penn 32-26, an 8-8 tie on faceoffs, 11-10 save advantage for Harvard, a slightly better clearing and extra-man percentage for Harvard. What seemed to be the difference on the day was the Quaker defense. They played tough the entire game and when they did bend Ryan Kelly was there to bail them out. There was no clear standout on defense from my perspective, but as a unit they looked very poised and Ryan Kelly seemed to be the force behind it. For Harvard, their defense played a poised game as well, not giving up many good looks. Take away the early fourth quarter penalties and this story may have been about an overtime game. Instead, Penn took advantage of the opportunities Harvard gave them and as this proved, the difference between well-disciplined solid teams is often taking advantage of the chances the other team gives you. It was enjoyable to see two senior goalies lead the way for two programs which, as far as I can tell, are on the verge of great things, as their recent recruiting classes and rumored future classes are a testament to.
Penn stays in Philadelphia to play Cornell next Saturday at Franklin Field, where the Quakers are undefeated in 2004. For the Crimson, they head home to take on Quinnippiac on Wednesday.

This is my "go to" chicken cutlet dish. Goes with any side, super easy to make, the fried capers are a great touch. Please don't change anything before you try it.flag if inappropriate
We enjoyed this although it took a little longer than I'd have liked. I sautéed 2 garlic cloves, one small onion and 1/2 red pepper first. Set aside, then fried capers. Then sautéed chicken. Last, combined parsley, white wine, and lemon juice for a little bit of sauce. Very tasty...particular hubby liked a lot.flag if inappropriate
This recipe is a real keeper. Tasty, easy to prepare with a minimum of ingredients and a healthy content. My husband loved this!flag if inappropriate
Fast, simple and tasty. I took the advice of other reviewers and added a bit of white wine, also thickened the sauce with butter and cornstarch. This is a good recipe to add as a staple for quick weeknight meals.flag if inappropriate
Really good and really easy. The fried capers make the dish. I coated the chicken with flour before pan frying and doubled the capers, parsley and lemon. Next time less parsley.flag if inappropriate
Really very good. Made it exactly as called for, just doubled the lemon juice and added some white wine. Light and delicious. Just what I was looking for tonight. Everyone raved.flag if inappropriate
If you want to thicken the sauce, knead 1/2 tsp cornstarch into 1 Tbsp softened butter. Whisk into the hot sauce and bring to a boil. I used 1 cup white wine with the lemon juice for the sauce, plus the shallots.flag if inappropriate
My friend forwarded this to me with her note to add a little dab of "Better than Buillon", which I forgot to do, but think it would have been the ideal key ingred. Based on the other reviews and my own taste, I doubled the sauce recipe, sauteed 2 large chopped shallots and 5 small cloves of garlic, and splashed in some white wine. It was too lemony and bitter, so I added a bit of 1/2 and 1/2 to the sauce when it was very HOT (so it wouldn't curdle) and it was REALLY good. I will definitely make again (adding it to my weeknight "rotation"), but will try adding the chicken stock flavoring. I served the chicken and sauce over wide/wavy egg noodles.flag if inappropriate
I give this 4 forks due to how easy and delicious this recipe is (I am an admitted caper hound -- I devour them like candy). What really helped were the delicious capers and caper berries that I brought back from a recent trip to Sicily. If you can get good caper berries, I highly recommend using them along with the capers for something a little more. I also added a little white wine -- definitely not necessary, but if you have an open bottle around it's a nice touch.flag if inappropriate
The chicken was moist and delicious. I think I used a wee bit too much lemon juice, however. I'm not the hugest fan of lemon, but if it's subtle I enjoy it. The fried capers were easy and added a nice touch. I served this with homemade pesto, which was a fantastic compliment to this dish.flag if inappropriate

- How to Read a Study Record
This 3-year study will examine the safety and effectiveness of long-term use of nitisinone (Orfadin) for treating joint problems in patients with alkaptonuria, an inherited disease in which a compound called homogentisic acid accumulates. The excess homogentisic acid causes arthritis and limited joint movement. It can also cause heart valve damage and kidney stones.
Patients between 30 and 80 years of age with alkaptonuria may be eligible for this study. Patients must have hip involvement, but at least one remaining hip joint. Candidates are recruited from among patients enrolled in protocol 00-HG-0141, "Clinical, Biochemical, and Molecular Investigations into Alkaptonuria." Participants may enter both protocols simultaneously.
Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: one group takes their regular medicines plus a 2-mg nitisinone capsule daily; the other group takes only their regular medicines. Patients taking nitisinone have blood tests to measure liver function 2 weeks and 6 weeks after starting treatment. Before starting therapy, all patients are admitted to the NIH Clinical Center for 4-5 days to undergo the following procedures:
- Medical history and physical examination
- 24-hour urine collection to test for sugar, protein, and other molecules
- Blood tests for liver and thyroid function, blood counts, and blood chemistries
- Blood and urine tests to measure tyrosine and other amino acids and homogentisic acid
- Bone x-rays
- Spiral CT (computed tomography) of the abdomen to detect kidney stones
- Eye examination and evaluations by specialists in rehabilitation medicine and pain, plus other consults in skin, brain, lung, heart, and kidney, as needed
All patients, whether or not they receive nitisinone, return to the Clinical Center for a 2-3 day follow-up admission every 4 months for a history and physical examination, blood tests, and two 24-hour urine collections. Every 12 months (12, 24 and 36 months after starting the study), patients also have repeat bone x-rays, spiral CT, kidney ultrasound, echocardiogram, and electrocardiogram. An MRI of the brain is done at the end of the study.
Sixteen months after the end of the study enrollment period, the treated and non-treated groups are evaluated. If nitisinone has delayed the progression of joint disease in the treated group, the study continues and all patients receive the drug for the remainder of the study. If not, the study continues for another 20 months, at which time the study ends and the evaluation process is repeated.
Patients who develop symptoms such as corneal crystals, pain, or severe liver or nervous system toxicity may be taken off the study.

Experimental: Nitisinone-treated
Subjects received nitisinone 2 mg orally, once daily.
Drug: Nitisinone (NTBC)
Other Name: Orfadin
Detailed Description:
Alkaptonuria is a rare metabolic disease in which homogentisic acid (HGA), an intermediary metabolite in tyrosine catabolism, accumulates due to deficiency of the enzyme homogentisic acid oxidase. Patients with alkaptonuria exhibit homogentisic aciduria and ochronosis, or dark pigmentation of various tissues due to binding of HGA and its oxidized metabolites. The ochronosis results in debilitating destruction of cartilage, arthritis, lumbosacral ankylosis, limitation of motion, and bone deterioration in later life. No effective therapy exists for alkaptonuria. However, a compound named 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl) - 1, 3-cyclohexanedione (nitisinone, NTBC, Orfadin) inhibits 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, the enzyme that produces HGA. Nitisinone, at doses of approximately 1 mg/kg/day, has proven safe and effective in tyrosinemia type I, which causes fatal liver disease in infants and children. Under protocol 97-HG-0201, we treated 9 alkaptonuria patients with nitisinone; for the 7 who received 1.05 mg twice daily, the HA fell from 4.0 plus or minus 1.8 g/24h to 0.2 plus or minus 0.2 g/24h (normal 0.028 plus or minus 0.015 g/24h, n=10). Plasma tyrosine levels rose from 67 plus or minus 18 micro M to 760 plus or minus 181 micro M. The current protocol (05-HG-0076) is a randomized, controlled clinical trial to determine if nitisinone (2 mg daily) is beneficial for the joint symptoms of alkaptonuira. Patients are examined at the NIH Clinical Research Center every 4 months for 3 years. Hip joint range of motion serves as the primary outcome parameter, and nitisinone (Orfadin) is provided by Swedish Orphan International through an IND obtained by William A. Gahl. Forty patients (20 with nitisinone treatment and 20 untreated) have been enrolled for at least 16 months, and an interim analysis shows promising results. Serious adverse events in patients on nitisinone have included a death from myocardial infarction, keratopathy, and elevated liver function tests related to gallstones.

About Us
What happens when a material is tuned so that the critical temperature for a continuous phase transition between two uniform magnetic states is driven to zero kelvin? At zero kelvin the entropy is zero and any change of state has to be brought about by quantum rather than thermal fluctuations. The point at which this occurs is known as a quantum critical point and is the source of some very interesting physics.
Theoretical work to understand the physics close to quantum critical points has been fuelled by a number of recent experimental discoveries. One of the most exciting is the discovery that completely new correlated-electron ground states form in very pure materials. In our own work we found an unusual form of superconductivity homogeneously co-existing with ferromagnetism.

New Asthma Research Study at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC and Pitt to Focus on Wheezing Toddlers and Children
Pittsburgh, PA - June 15, 2011 -
A clinical trial at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC will focus on new treatments for wheezing in young children who may have asthma.
Preschool-aged children often have coughing and/or wheezing that leads to visits to doctor's offices, urgent care centers, emergency departments or even hospitalization. Researchers at Children's Hospital and the University of Pittsburgh are studying ways to prevent coughing and wheezing in preschool-aged children and to alleviate symptoms when they do occur.
The study, referred to as APRIL OCELOT, will begin with an initial treatment aimed at preventing wheezing illnesses in children, followed by additional treatment if wheezing does occur. The follow-up treatment will focus on attempting to reduce the wheezing and other respiratory symptoms.
The study is being conducted through Asthmanet, a multicenter network of researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to study pediatric and adult asthma treatments. Researchers will evaluate the effectiveness of the antibiotic azithromycin at the early signs of a cold in preventing the development of significant breathing symptoms such as frequent coughing, trouble breathing, or wheezing. The study hopes to show that azithromycin will help to prevent an upper respiratory illness (or cold), from developing into a more severe wheezing illness.
"Frequent wheezing and coughing is something we encounter so often in young children and it is one of the most common causes for visits to the emergency department. Ultimately, we want to find the best treatment plans to decrease it," said Fernando Holguin, M.D., M.P.H., medical director of the Pediatric Environmental Medicine Center at Children's Hospital and principal investigator of the study at Pitt. "We believe this study will give us more insight into these particular asthma cases and in turn help give parents the answers they need in this type of care for their children."
For more information about this study, please call the Asthma Center at 412-692-LUNG (5864).

YIELD: Serves 12
IngredientsFor the dressing
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
- 3 tablespoons bottled mango chutney
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh coriander
- 2 1/2 cups wild rice, rinsed
- 6 1/2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bunch of scallions including the green part, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 6 whole smoked boneless chicken breast
- 3 cups mâche (lamb's-lettuce), washed well and spun dry
Make the dressing:
In a blender or food processor blend the garlic, the vinegar, the lemon juice, the curry powder, the chutney, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth. With the motor running add the oil in a stream, add the sour cream and the water, adding additional water if necessary to reach the desired consistency, and blend the dressing until it is combined well. Transfer the dressing to a small bowl and stir in the coriander. The dressing may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
Make the wild rice mixture:
In a large heavy saucepan combine the wild rice with the water and the salt and simmer it, covered, for 45 to 50 minutes, until it is tender and all the water is absorbed. Transfer the wild rice to a large bowl and add the vinegar, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss the mixture well and let it cool completely. The wild rice mixture may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Stir in the scallions and the raisins.
Cut the chicken into 3/4-inch pieces. Spoon the wild rice mixture onto one side of a large shallow serving dish, arrange the chicken on the other half, and arrange the mâche decoratively down the middle. Serve the dressing separately. (Alternatively, the wild rice mixture, the chicken, and the dressing may be tossed together in a large serving bowl and garnish with the mâche.)

It is true- this "12 oz" jar only holds about 8-9 ounces of hardened wax by weight, but there is no deception here...the specs clearly explains this.
This is a perfect candle jar in my eyes, I love them with the silver lids.
Shipping was fast and the jars were packaged extremely well.
Great company, great product!

I was pretty disappointed when I received these jars. By the description I thought they would hold 12oz. worth of candle... in actuality they only hold about 8 or 9 ounces. Wish I would have known this before I ordered them :(

Gluten-free Chocolate Cake for One (Also Dairy-free!)
There are days when all I really want is cake. Chocolate cake to be precise, but I'm not in the mood to bake an entire cake. All I want is one serving (or maybe two), so I won't be tempted to break my scale the next morning… Insert the Mug Cake (aka: microwave baking).
I must admit that microwave baking just sounds outrageous, but I decided to dive into uncharted Laura Friendly baking territory and give it a shot. I will be honest, the instant gratification made this whole adventure worthwhile. When you only have 10 minutes to spare and you really want cake… you can't beat this!
So, today I have for you one personal-sized, gluten-free chocolate cake, with a very tasty peanut butter frosting. The entire thing only takes about 15 minutes to make, and most of that time is just measuring! Enjoy!

makes: 1 cake (or you can split this into two smaller cakes)
- 4 tbsp Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free All Purpose Baking Flour
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- ⅛ tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp gluten-free xanthan gum
- ⅛ tsp salt

- ¼ tsp gluten-free vanilla
- 2 tbsp gluten & dairy-free chocolate chips, optional
- 1 tbsp peanut butter, optional
Lightly grease a 16oz microwave safe mug (or ramekin) with coconut oil and set aside.
In a medium size bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt.
In a separate bowl whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, coconut oil, applesauce, soy milk and vanilla.
Place the mug (or ramekin) onto a microwave safe plate, and bake in the center of the microwave for 2 to 4 minutes. After 2 minutes, check to see if the cake is done by inserting a toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, the cake is done. If the toothpick has cake batter on it, bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, checking every 30 seconds. note: because the microwave cooks so fast, you can over bake this cake very easily, making the whole experience very dry and unappealing
Remove the cake from the microwave and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The majority of relationships between parents and their adult children improve as parents transition to old age, a Purdue University researcher has found.
Karen Fingerman, an associate professor of developmental and family studies in the College of Consumer and Family Sciences, examined relationships adults 70 and older have with at least one of their adult offspring. The parents in the study also suffered either vision or hearing loss or were seeking help with general health care from one of their children.
"Much has been written about relationships between adult children who are in a care-giving relationship with their older and dependent parents," Fingerman said. "This time when parents are transitioning to old age and still living without major assistance has not been looked at as closely."
Fingerman said the study, which was recently published in the journal Advances in Life Course Research, showed that a majority of parents and children mentioned positive changes in their relationship, even as parents experienced declines in health.
"Both parents and children reported significantly less ambivalence than we originally expected," Fingerman said. "Generally, there was a feeling on both sides that this was as good as the relationship had been, and both sides felt appreciated and nurtured."
The study was funded by a combination of grants from the Brookdale Foundation and the National Institute of Aging.
Many of the parents talked about continuity in the relationship and, rather than resentment, expressed appreciation for increased help from children.
One of these, a 72-year-old man, commented on the relationship he has with his adult daughter.
"She has always cared about me," he said. "When I'm sick, she is always there. I don't have to ask. I've been very fortunate."
For the parents, their children's increasing roles in their lives served as proof of maturi

Microsoft boss Nadella to reveal Office for iPad by March-end
Microsoft's new CEO Satya Nadella is reportedly said to reveal the much anticipated Office suite for Apple's iPad on March 27.
The Office suite for iPad, code-named Miramar, is said to be unveiled at Microsoft's press briefing, which is said to 'focus on the intersection of cloud and mobile computing'.
Sources have revealed that Microsoft's long-rumoured Office suite for iPad before the end of March, which suggests that the scheduled press briefing might be the day for the launch, Cnet reports.
The Office suite for iPad is said to include only Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, and possibly no other Office client apps.
The report said that the suite is expected to be available on Apple App Store, but might require a Microsoft Office 365 subscription.

It's probably not the biggest shock in the world that Microsoft has more Halo games in the works, but it's always nice to see what it takes to give Master Chief his missions. And this job is for the big boss.
How do we know it's a job for the head honcho? Because it's a Creative Director position for, and we quote, "a groundbreaking new AAA entertainment experience set in the Halo universe." What does that mean? Basically, you'd be the guy responsible for getting the team you're assigned to deliver something at least as good as this:
What's interesting is that it's "set in the Halo universe", but it doesn't explicitly say what everyone's thinking: Halo 5. Then again, it might not be a direct Halo sequel: between Halo 3 and Halo 4, we had Halo: Reach and Halo 3: ODST, not to menton Halo Wars.
So this might be for something else altogether, perhaps even something for Durango, the much-rumored but rarely-discussed new XBox supposedly coming in 2013. It seems possible: the Halo 4 team is still hard at work on the game, and Microsoft wouldn't launch an XBox without a new Halo game.
What do you think? And what would you like to see?

When Andy Grove Saw The Future Of Networked Computing
Some things never change: 1.The telecoms industry will always lag the computer industry; 2. People will always prefer personal, local control over their information to relying on remote sources.
One of the most astute players in the tech world these past 40 years, Andy Grove, the great former CEO and co-founder of Intel, remarked on these characteristics a decade and a half ago.
Back in 1995 he observed: ""The computer industry does its stuff delivering increased performance and reducing prices because it's a competitive and open industry with hundreds of companies in it, but the telecommunications industry has a government monopoly legacy which is not used to delivering its services in a competitive economy. We need improving bandwidth and declining prices and neither trend is being served sufficiently."
How true that statement remains today. Where is LTE? Where is Wimax? Where, in most places, is 3G?
In 1998, another prescient observation from Grove was his reaction to the idea of the 'Network Computer' (a thin client device which got its programmes and information from the Web – what we now call Cloud Computing) which was, in the mid-1990s, being promoted by Larry Ellison of Oracle.
"What's made this industry very exciting", observed Grove in 1998, "is that people speculate on new platforms, and new applications, but the world's population has shown – generation after generation – is that they prefer the attributes of local control to those of a dumb terminal."
When asked if Ellison's idea was driving the adoption of networked computing, Grove responded: "The sun doesn't rise because the rooster crows."
Networked computing was happening, he explained, not because of anything Ellison said, but because a couple of hundred million people around the world had computers technically capable of accessing the communications networks.
Nonetheless, Grove enthusiastically promoted the idea of the networked computer and, asked if he was promoting networked computing just because it helped sell more microprocessors, he replied:
"I get paid to serve Intel's interest but I don't get paid enough to lie. It's clearly in our enlightened business interest that consumers' eyeballs move over to the PC from the TV but we actually believe this stuff. It may only be a skip and a jump from you saying 'there's Grove giving a marketing message' but I believe the message to be true. We walk the walk as well as talk the talk."
Grove has turned out to be right. Everyone talks about The Cloud today but the most successful devices, like the iPhone, have masses of space to store apps, information and programmes. Everyone, it seems, still prefers local control to remote access.
And why? Because the other part of Grove's observation is also still true – the capabilities delivered by the computer industry (which now includes smartphones) still vastly out-perform the capabilities provided by the telecoms industry.
Although the telecoms industry has LTE and Wimax in its locker, it is typically slow and reluctant to deploy them, while a decade after the 3G licenses were sold, coverage remains spotty at best.
Which is why people don't want to rely on such links for their basic computing needs.Tags: bandwidth, co founder, computer industry, telecoms industry

" the network operators have to be dragged. kicking and screaming to deploy it. Look at BT with ADSL – thingss almost got to the stage of a public scandal before they started offering it."
Sorry David but this simply isn't true. BT and the telecomms equipment manufacturers such as the one I worked for at the time were began planing the rollout in 1996 and were ready to go bigtime a couple of years later but the SC guys who promised working silicon in 1996 failed to deliver 'to spec' product for almost another 3 years.
March 05, 2010 09:59
Well, El Rupester, I look at it like this. When a new generation of CPU or new density of DRAM, NAND or hard disc appears – the PC makers put them straight into their boxes.
When a new telecoms generation comes along – DSL, Fibre, 3G, 4G – the network operators have to be dragged. kicking and screaming to deploy it. Look at BT with ADSL – thingss almost got to the stage of a public scandal before they started offering it.
March 04, 2010 22:03
I think you are being too harsh on telecoms industry, and I disagree with your conclusion on network computers.
"We need improving bandwidth and declining prices and neither trend is being served sufficiently"
In 1995 you were lucky to get 14Kbps on a dial-up wired link. You'd pay an ISP £X per month – and in UK you'd pay BT £Y per hour opf call charges too.
Nowadays most people in developed countries get >1Mbps — and 10MBps is common for cable, with 100Mbps if you live in Asia.
And the prices have fallen: I pay less for my 20Mbps cable than I did fifteen years ago for dial up. If you want to you can get DSL for effectively nothing.
Compared to computers that's pretty good. Although the CPU may have followed Moore's Law, the PC as a whole thing (including software) hasn't, and the performance or utility I get from it certainly hasn't: Word & Excel cost the same as 15 years ago and seem to deliver about the same…

To take cheese's rephrase: "many of us" choose not to sacrifice local control, in particular for what you first mentioned for "photos or emails or travel plans". No way will I use a remote IMAP or Webmail server for my email, personal or work; my photos are firmly rooted in my home PC's RAID mirror with occasional backups when necessary; travel plans get PDF'd and printed when firmed up.
We all segregate our local/remote storage according to personal preferences based on experience, expectations and a even a bit of prejudice… "optimization" if you like. Of course I still do useful work with a computer so maybe that's just my prejudice but I do not understand all the people who put their trust in remote email services – gimme a POP Server or go away.:-)
Right now, I'm watching the accumulated snow pulling a tree branch down so that it's damned close to the telephone cable which carries my ADSL and I'm not too worried – I can still work; if it gets to the power cable then I lose more than just access to my data.
No doubt things are going to get interesting in the not too distant future: how far will the wireless phone device converge with the personal computer; does the "zero client" (see Pano Cube) have a corporate future? I lived through the corporate data center horror which the IT guys are currently dying to re-establish and the analogy I have is this: do you want to have a car or do you want to get on the bus? From my POV I still see things more from the Grove perspective – Ellison was, and still is, SQL*Nuts.
February 24, 2010 05:47
I see the reasoning on both sides of the debate and I have a couple of remarks.
Firstly: We often do not clearly distinguish storage, content and content consumption / experience. This leads to a lot of confusion.
Storage is ubiquitous, cheap and fast. Content needs storage, but content is not necessarily ubiquitous, cheap, or fast. Consumption is a different animal altogether. It is becoming ubiquitous, but not necessarily cheap or fast.
So consumers are left with an optimization problem – find the optimal choice for storage, content choice and content consumption experience.
This is a non-linear and subjective equation. Most of us will find a solution to this, but will never be happy with it. A bit of Zen in our lives will do us no harm.
Secondly, for the control freaks, here's my 2 cents. Reality TV happened sometime back. And many of us could barely tolerate it, let alone relate to it. What is happening now is the internet version of the same. You can ignore it, wish it away, or join it. That's your choice. Reach, ego massage, self promotion – this is the new black. And btw, the computer is not a "computing device" anymore, so spare us the references to good old FORTRAN or IBM 360 and PDP11. We are talking of devices that help common people share and discuss their otherwise boring lives. Let me rephrase a bit the sentence from my earlier post: Yes, to be clear, many of us sacrifice (knowingly or not) local control for reach and remote access. The world would be a very different place if not for this.
February 23, 2010 14:59
Martin, I think you and Andy Grove are right. Somehow giving up control goes against the grain of human nature.
February 23, 2010 13:57
I started to use computers some 45years ago: punched cards and (if VERY lucky) occasional acces to a terminal. All software, access and storage under the control of the Computer Center (yes,I was in the USA and the term IT was some distance of…). Then came the time-share:same central control though and eventually – and at some expense – the PDP8. Joy! Local control of everything . Next came the really low-cost microcomputer (Z80/8080) with tapes. Cheap! Controllable! Always available! Then the IBM PC and all it's clones – Cheap(ish), good selection of programs, adaptable, expandable. MINE.
Now we are supoosed to give back control, storage and access to some nebulous entity and let them 'look after' my requirements (and data). No thanks. To 'cliche' (or saw) 'Been There, Done That (etc)). Cloud computing is just simply a bad idea (and this argument has nothing to do with the Telecoms System – which is another story (quoth he ruefully from a remote rural location….)
February 23, 2010 13:04
Well Peter it's an interesting point you raise about the relative scale of investment. I think it's about 10x. But whereas the IC industry trend capex figure is 20% of sales – so it spends about $20 billion a year on sales of about $200 biliion, the telecoms industry only spends $225 billion a year on capex when it has revenues around $4 trillion a year. If the telecoms industry had the same sales/capex ratio as the IC industry, it would be spending $800 billion a year on capex – in which case, maybe we'd have ubiquitous LTE, Wimax and femotcells, and we'd all feel happy about saving stuff in the Cloud because access would be instant and reliable.
February 23, 2010 12:01
I don't think the IT/telecoms industry comparison is really valid. It's like saying that consumers refit their bathrooms every fifteen years but water utilities take 150 years to replace water mains. There's a huge difference in the scale of investment.
Concerning where people store data and run applications, I don't think users really care. What they care about is speed of access and availability.
February 23, 2010 10:15
Yes indeed I remember that too Steve. I wonder if that's why Schmidt was so firm in saying No when asked in Barcelona if he was getting into the network operating business. If he's actually thinking of getting into the cable business, then there's why. I do hope you're right. It's what the world needs.
February 23, 2010 02:59
Several years ago that there were stories about how Google was buying "dark fiber" in large quantities, like this one: http://www.voip-news.com/feature/google-dark-fiber-050707/. IIRC, the stories all ended with, "… and no one knows why."
I'm really hoping that this pilot is how they start making use of it, for all the reasons you've already enumerated. Couldn't agree more: here's to greater inclination!
February 22, 2010 23:20
Well, Steve, I suppose 50,000 people is a start. And I'm very grateful to you for telling me that. I had no idea. So I'm wrong to say 'disinclined'. I should have said 'the pity of it is is that Google is not more inclined to invest in the links'! Hopefully the trials will go well and they will be more inclined.
February 22, 2010 22:53
The pity of its is Google seem disnclined to get into providing the links.
Does this not count? http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi
February 22, 2010 13:31
Thanks, lexdabear, I'm sure you're absolutely right. The pity of its is Google seem disnclined to get into providing the links. Maybe they'll bag up Clearwire when it runs out of money!
February 22, 2010 11:50
I follow your argumentation. The MNO/telecoms is the bottleneck. They have all the power to make the communication lines fast or, as it is now, hold onto their business model and do a short-term business, extracting most possible revenue at this point in time. If one looks from this point of view, it makes sense why Apple and Google are doing what they're doing. With a snip Apple turned the complete market upside down and is now #1 in smart phones. Google I consider even more visionary. Own phone was just the first step. More amazing was the reach into frequency band, and now high speed internet plus energy. Watch and learn or be an ignorant and disappear.
February 22, 2010 09:50
Well Cheese, I'd come at it from a different direction – if Cloud computing is the big thing, why do PCs come with 320Gbytes of storage (and getting bigger)? Why do iPhones have 32GB? Why do we download apps and music and store them locally instead of accessing them on-line? Why do we keep OSes and application programmes on our hard-discs? I would venture to suggest it's for the same reason now as it was back in Ellison's NC days – i.e. the links are so flaky no one wants to rely on them.
February 22, 2010 05:36
A couple of remarks:
What do you really mean by local control-vs remote access?
All our data is stored on the internet – be it work (inc. blogs such as this), or photos or emails or travel plans …infact every single aspect of our lives is on the net, including all our savings and insurance. This data can be accessed from anywhere, and that qualifies to be called "remote access".
There is a semblance (and growing awareness for the need) of local control of remotely hosted data, but we all know that facebook (for example), doesn't delete your data as soon as you want it to be gone. We have no clue what other cloud based services do with our data. In fact, apart from trust, there is not much else guaranteeing local control. And still, people do not mind loosing local control. Yes, to be clear, we sacrifice (knowingly or not) local control for reach and remote access. So that's my first disagreement with Grove.
Secondly, Grove is a visionary, no doubt. But his remark on the sun rise vs rooster crowing would need a bit of dwelling upon. With Intel pushing Atoms as heavily as it is now doing, the successors of Grove have proven him wrong – Intel (which Grove probably relates to the Sun) is making Atom because the roosters (Acer, Asus, you name it) are asking for these chips. And they will gladly move to Arm if Intel focuses on heavy duty chips instead of the Atom. Does Intel have a choice?
Finally, the high ground of technology that Intel stayed put in the last several decades, is thankfully over. The paranoia of Grove et al resisted the commercial application of Intel's own Moore's law by keeping prices a constant (with clear implication on profits) in a near-monopoly market. There will not be many tears shed if this monopoly Sun sets. Ironic as it may seem, it is the telecom (or should I say mobile) industry that is at the forefront of this.

After five seasons of an epic nail-biting series, 'Breaking Bad', the story of Walter White, has come to an end. With the critically acclaimed show now over what's next for television? IBT Senior Media and Culture Editor Ellen Killoran discusses the conclusion, the Saul Goodman spin-off and what we will be watching next.
