|Whole grain gluten-free deliciousness.
Whole Grain Bread- No Xanthan Gum
Just when you think you have it all figured out, life snakes you a curve ball and rattles your position. Just a little a bit. Just enough to make sure you're still awake, still paying attention. Because what is life about if not change? Change is the only constant. Change is our true companion.
Nothing stays the same.
Especially persnickety celiac tummies. I know this from readers. I know this from gluten-free bloggers. I know this from personal experience. We start at A, oblivious. We skip and stumble to D. We settle in. We think G or J is pretty cool. Then Q throws us into a tizzy.
We discover gluten is an enemy. Then maybe milk. Or mustard. Or kidney beans. FODMAPs. You name it. Fill in the blank.
Most of us with celiac disease end up with a few additional culprits on our Need to Avoid List. Maybe not right away. But over time, many of us will have to fine tune our repertoire of ingredients.
If we want to stay healthy.
If we want to grow stronger, not fatter.
If we want to feel trim, not bloated.
Which brings me to bread. (What celiac conversation doesn't lead to bread, I ask you?)
|This whole grain bread is high in protein- without bean flours.
If you've been reading the blog for a while now, you know I've had my share of unfriendly food encounters. FODMAPs appear to remain my sworn enemy, shoulder to shoulder with gluten in unholy matrimony (wheat is a FODMAP, after all). But other once problematic food stuffs have softened their commitment to make me miserable. Eggs are now (way!) kinder. Almonds have deigned to flirt, kiss, and make up.
Move eggs and almonds into the Yay! column.
But guar gum, and kale, and onions have stepped up their assault. And a once beloved gluten-free choice now appears to be less kind, if not absolutely backstabbing in her fickle, gaseous betrayal. The humble chick pea.
So I am scrambling to rustle up some alternative whole grain goodness without those FODMAP indigestibles. I've been playing around with various whole grain gluten-free flours, and baking up loaves of bread. They've been pretty tasty. I'm not unhappy. And my profile no longer looks like I'm six months pregnant.
Another check in the Yay! column.
Recently I baked a whole grain loaf without xanthan gum, just to see what would happen.
Whole Grain Gluten-Free Bread Recipe
By Karina Allrich
I used my old favorite Gluten-Free Multigrain Sandwich Bread as a template for this new whole grain bread recipe. My goal was to eliminate starch, and boost the protein power without resorting to bean flour. Quinoa flakes add a hint of oatmeal-like texture. Almond meal gives this tender bread a lovely, fragrant flavor. The crust on this loaf was pleasingly rustic.
Warm your oven by turning it on briefly.
Line a 9-inch ceramic loaf pan with a piece of parchment paper, leaving extra length on each side, so that the paper rises above the top of the pan (as shown).
1 package rapid dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
1/2 cup warm water (115 degrees F)
1 tablespoon honey
3/4 cup sorghum flour or brown rice flour
3/4 cup almond meal/flour
1/2 cup millet flour or GF certified oat flour
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup quinoa flakes
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
3 organic free-range eggs, beaten
1/3 to 1/2 cup warm water
Proof the yeast: Sprinkle the yeast into one half cup warm water and stir in the honey. Set aside to let the yeast get happy.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the dry ingredients: brown rice flour, almond flour, millet flour, buckwheat flour, quinoa flakes, flaxseed meal, and sea salt.
Make a well in the center and pour in the proofed yeast. Add the olive oil and eggs. Start beating it together. As you beat, add the 1/3 to 1/2 cup warm water a tablespoon at a time, until the batter is smooth, like a thick muffin batter. I used a half cup of warm water, but you may need less (or slightly more) depending upon humidity and altitude.
Scoop the bread dough into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with extra quinoa flakes, if you like.
Place the pan in the center of the warmed oven and allow the loaf to rest and rise for 50 minutes.
Turn on the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the loaf for 55 to 60 minutes, until crusty and browned.
Remove from the pan and place the loaf on a wire rack to cool.
Delicious warm. Fabulous toasted.
Rise time: 1 hour Cook time: 1 hour
Yield: One 9-inch loaf
GFG Notes:
For substitutions-
Medium weight flours can replace medium weight flours. Brown rice, sorghum, certified gluten-free oat and millet flour are all friendly companions. Quinoa flour, cornmeal and buckwheat flour are heavier choices. *Make sure your sources for millet, buckwheat, oat, cornmeal are indeed gluten-free. Check to see if batches of milled grains are tested.
Quinoa flakes add lightness and protein.
Almond meal is tender and soft. To replace it, I'd suggest trying another whole grain flour with a sweet taste.
Buckwheat honey can be subbed with your favorite local honey, or raw organic agave nectar.
For egg-free breads see my gluten-free bread recipes; for yeast free see my soda breads and quick breads.
Please understand that changing ingredients impacts the taste, and texture, and often changes the amount of liquid you need. I'm only guessing at what will work.
We froze the leftover slices and I toasted some for breakfast- and wouldn't you know? This bread makes beautiful toast.
Gluten-free breads without white starches (starch adds springiness) are more fragile than their refined starch infused sisters. But other attributes (flavor, nutrition, happy tummies) make up for this.
This bread is low fructose/fructan for a FODMAPs friendly loaf-- if you can handle flaxseed meal; listen to your own body and use the foods it tolerates best.

Salty-sweet desserts are all the rage (much to our taste buds' delight), so I always find it fun coming up with new (and seasonal) ways to experiment with these flavors. To celebrate peak peach season, I'm pairing the stone fruit with pretzels in a pie that has the perfect amount of crunch. In addition to adding texture, the salted pretzels really bring out that sweet peach flavor. My favorite thing about this pie is its layers (peach nectar- and cinnamon-spiked gelatin, tangy cream cheese and those salty, crunchy pretzels), which makes digging into it kind of like unwrapping a delicious dessert present.
Pretzel Peach Jell-O Pie
Makes: 8 to 10 servings
2 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons (2 envelopes) of unflavored gelatin powder
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup boiling water
2/3 cup white sugar
4 oz (half a brick) cream cheese, softened
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cups peach nectar (Kerns or Goya makes it or puree you own!)
9 or 10 peeled peach slices
To make the Pretzel Peach Jell-O Pie:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine pretzels, butter, and brown sugar well until pasty. Press the mixture into a pie plate. Bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until you are ready to add the filling.
In a large bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon (1 envelope) of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of the cold water and allow the gelatin to absorb the water for 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the boiling water until gelatin is fully dissolved. Stir in 1/3 cup of the sugar.
Beat in cream cheese until mixture is smooth. Refrigerate until thickened to the consistency of a gel.
Gently spoon the cream cheese mixture onto the pretzel crust in the pie plate. Use the back of a spoon to spread the mixture evenly over all the pretzel crust. Refrigerate until you are ready to spoon in the next layer.
In a large bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon (1 envelope) of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of the cold water and allow the gelatin to absorb the water for 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the boiling water until gelatin is fully dissolved. Stir in 1/3 cup of the sugar, the cinnamon, and the honey. Stir in the peach nectar. Refrigerate the mixture until it thickens to the consistency of a gel.
Arrange the sliced peaches in a formation over the cream cheese layer in the pie plate.
Gently spoon the thickened peach gelatin into the pie plate over the peaches and cream cheese. Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.
Slice, serve and enjoy!

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
By Brian Lambert, Senior Analyst, Forrester Research
Today's customer expects the sales team to engage with a clear understanding of who they are, what they do, and the problems they face. However, many firms' go-to-market strategies lag behind customers' buying requirements, perpetuating the product push and forcing salespeople to play on the same old turf—responding to RFPs and being treated as a commodity provider. To sell higher, capture wallet share, and deliver the business outcomes clients desire, sales leaders will need to transform their organization from product pushing to problem solving.
In an attempt to accelerate salesperson performance, organizations are standardizing and defining key elements of their selling systems (e.g., documented sales processes, defined metrics, and defined new hire profiles). While all these initiatives have potential value, achieving the goals of any sales transformation first requires a change in salesperson behavior. Organizations ultimately can become more effective in the sales process by creating lasting behavior change through one-on-one conversations that are relevant, developmental, and motivational.
Behavior-focused sales coaching conversations are purpose-built to improve performance and are more effective than conversations focused only on salesperson results. These tailored coaching conversations require sales managers to monitor, direct, evaluate, and reward specific rep behaviors related to the end-state of the desired transformation—such as cross-selling to grow wallet share. By helping salespeople improve specific knowledge (e.g., industry knowledge, competitive knowledge, and role knowledge), as well as selling skills (e.g., listening, presenting, and business analysis) coaches become a critical resource in empowering reps with the confidence they need to sell higher. To help leverage your sales coaching program and help sellers improve skills, Forrester offers the following recommendations:
Find out who's coaching already. Chances are that pockets of coaching excellence exist within your organization. Identify as many sales coaching champions as you can to figure out what's working for them and what's not. Ask reps about who provides great advice or invests in their personal development and growth. Based on input from the sales team, sales managers should meet with the recommended coach(es) to find out what they know and what they do to successfully coach. Once you have determined how each prioritizes coaching interactions across the team, enroll that individual as a coaching champion to help positively influence others.
Help coaching conversations flourish. After gathering information on what works and what doesn't, work with the sales management team to design, implement, and reinforce a coaching strategy that reinforces the use of tailored coaching conversation and helps build a coaching culture. It's important to solicit input from Human Resources to understand the differences between managerial and sales coaching and ensure agreement. Whereas managerial coaching typically focuses on skills relevant to all management employees across the organization, sales coaching takes the unique sales environment into account, driving the sales process forward and expanding sales-specific skills. As you build a sales coaching strategy, first pilot the program with the sales coaching champions you have identified.
Remember that salespeople are unique. Even if your sales organization, using a rigorous screening process, selectively hires only top performers from the competition, each new hire brings different motives, personalities, knowledge, skills, and expertise to the work environment. As a result, coaches need a way to tailor sales coaching conversations to the uniqueness of the individual. Coaches can motivate salespeople based on strengths, especially if they have taken the time to understand what each salesperson brings to the table.
Keep in mind: While tying sales coaching conversations to reps' financial interests works for some, this type of motivation isn't sustainable in a tough economy where sales targets are hard to hit and rising. Assuming that all salespeople are driven by money reduces the interpersonal aspect of the job to a shallow level where hucksters might operate—and most high-performing reps don't.
Document coaching success. To keep momentum, find a way to communicate the success of sales coaching in your organization. For example, in a recent conversation with Forrester, one sales manager said: "While the metrics are helpful, I've found the stories to be more so. Finding the story of how sales coaching helped my manager in Asia connect with his sales team and, more specifically, how his use of coaching conversations helped land a big sale, provides me a way to explain that sales coaching must be part of the job, not an afterthought."
The bottom line: Sales enablement initiatives will fail without sales coaching. Ensuring successful adoption of any initiative requires tailored sales conversations as a core enabler—especially when the initiative is designed to drive a sales transformation. If coaches focus conversations only on salesperson activities or achievement against metrics (e.g., sales volume, profit contribution, or revenue attainment), the desired behavior change becomes secondary. To put it more simply: Your transformation initiative will crash and burn as salespeople focus on other things. Over the next couple of years, Forrester expects sales coaching targeted at behavior change to emerge as a lynchpin in the transformation strategies of successful sales enablement professionals.

Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.
One advantage of trading with Cleveland is that they might accept prospects which have a longer timeline to the majors.
As someone else said, they are so loaded, that they are one of the few teams willing to trade a guy like Lee without expecting ML ready talent in return.
I don't expect the Indians to give Lee away. Shapiro is a smart GM and knows about the shortage of pitching.
It's worth pursuing, IMO. I will keep beating the drum that as of now, we only have 3 starting pitchers. That's a recipe for disaster if the team wants to contend next year.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy -- it was nice while it lasted..
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
We've discussed Lee 3-4 times already. Look at his stats. There are certain trends that are not encouraging. He also was not that good after being sent down to AAA, gave up quite a few walks if memory serves. He also has about 11 million left on his deal. It is also widely understood in Cleveland that Lee is not the brightest bulb in the pack. Did not take well to coaches tinkering with his delivery (in spite of his numbers dropping).
That all said, he is a lefty, has had success in the past and is relatively inexpensive to someof the deal being handed out. That and the dearth of decent pitching is why Shapiro won't give him away for nothing though the price is muchlower than it would have been a couple years ago.
I do like Sowers and Laffey though as left-handers.
I wouldn't trade anyone of real value for him
Go Gators!
Cliff Lee is not this good. He's either the best pitcher pitcher in major league history or he's about to be introduced to the phrase "correction to the mean."
A .212 BAPIP is simply not sustainable. It's called luck and I don't want to trade for players who are lucky.
I think the lesson here is that a player's career isn't a "narrative." Meaning it doesn't follow a Freytag pyramid of inevitable rise and collapse.
There are more things in heaven and earth.... Or something.
(Incidentally, I *seriously* doubt that most of Lee's success is "luck." I think most of it is skill).
The SABR people never rule out luck. Luck can last an entire season. Stats can indicate one thing and for a period of time a player can outplay his past.Yep, which makes it all the more interesting that old-school READREAD nailed this one while the SABR-guys on the board whiffed. Just an observation.
But the reason I love stats, the law of large numbers, and all that jazz is that when you look at a large sample size (5 weeks of Cliff Lee's magical singing road show is not a large sample size) Cliff Lee will be Clliff Lee. It can't be otherwise. One poster said it best: there's was nothing to ever suggest he was this good, meaning pretty much just that. He isn't.
I guess he could have developed some new pitching style, but a 19.5 KK/BB ratio is not sustainable (in fact it's already fallen from that, I believe).
5 weeks of box scores do not anoint him as Cy Young.
FCB- his peripherals indicate luck. They do.
A pitcher cannot expect only 21 percent of the balls put in play against to fall in as hits when much, much better pitchers aren't having the same type of success.
I will bet anyone on here an opening day ticket to next year's game a GABP that Cliff Lee does not sustain a .212 BAPIP the entire season.

Prophet David (as) used to sing very beautifully. In the Old Testament, 2. Samuel, 6:5, it is explained that as the Ark of the Covenant was brought to Jerusalem, "David and the whole house of Israel were celebrating with all their might before the Lord, with songs and with harps, lyres, tambourines, sistrums and cymbals." It was amazing music and joy, masha'Allah. "David and the whole house of Israel were celebrating with all their might..." Notice: "...with all their might", there is a very exhilarating dance going on. " David, wearing a linen ephod… [a garment worn by the High Priest]" (6:14), see my amazing grandfather? [Note: Mr. Adnan Oktar is a descendant of Prophet David through Hz. Ali (ra)] "...was dancing before the Lord with all his strength" before Allah. In the sense that Allah sees people wherever they are; that's the style of the Torah, it means that he is within the sight of Allah. Allah sees everywhere, anywhere. "... danced before the LORD with all his might". "While he and the entire house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets." (6:15) Probably this refers to a clarinet, Allah knows the truth. "...brought up the ark of the Lord" So there were clarinet-like instruments back then as well. "...brought up the ark of the Lord", the Ark of the Covenant, the Ark that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will open.
"As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart." (6:16) King David, masha'Allah. "...she despised him in her heart". She was like, "How can a religious leader do that? How can he sing? How can a prophet do this?" and scorned him. "Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women." (6:19) The bread in those times was square, bran bread with lots of minerals. It was so nutritious; you wouldn't need to eat meat. Prophet David (as) gave bread to everyone dancing there. "...a cake of raisins", some bread and some dry grapes. "And all the people went to their homes."
"When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, "How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today…" (6:20) She thought that she could mock him. She says like "...as any vulgar fellow". She was his wife. "David said to Michal, "It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord's people Israel." (6:21) Listen how Prophet David replies: "It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house" He says, the Lord didn't choose your father's family, He chose me. Allah makes the choice, of course. "...He appointed me ruler over the Lord's people Israel". He says, 'I danced before the Lord, not before you'. And he says, 'He didn't choose your father, he didn't choose your father's family, but He chose me'. He says "He appointed me ruler". He could have chosen your father or someone from your family, but Allah chose me, he says. "It was before the LORD, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the LORD's people Israel—I will celebrate before the LORD." Before the Lord who appoints the Mahdi. 'And' he says and continues: "I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor." (6:22). He says I am nothing, I am not arrogant. Do you see how humble he is, how modest a prophet is? He says I am nothing. There is only Allah that exists. "...But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor."
"And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death." (6:23) Allah punishes her like that, according to the Old Testament. Michal, daughter of Saul, she is one of the wives of the Prophet David (as), and she thinks she is a noble woman, and she tried to put Prophet David (as) down. So there are some people who think they are too great to be dancing and singing. They are so haughtily arrogant, they have almost turned to stones.2013-02-25 15:32:43

The government has made admirable moves towards openness and transparency in recent years, with one landmark step being to publish all payments by government departments of £500 or more. Communities secretary Eric Pickles has gone further, this week deciding to start publishing all spending by his department of £250 and above.
But there is a problem. The spreadsheets list each individual payment, not total amounts per supplier. And suppliers' VAT numbers are not provided. This makes summarising the payments – often across thousands of lines of data – a very difficult job for anyone aspiring to create aggregate figures.
Let's take Mr Pickles' department, Communities & Local Government, as an example. Its latest quarterly release contains 9,750 lines of data. It encompasses all sorts of activities, from PFI grants to mobile phone line rental charges. Many of the payments require an expert jargon-buster to interpret: did you know that "NNDR billing authorities receipts" means business tax?
The smallest payment listed during the period was £1.24 to Banner Business Supplies for stationery. The largest was £1.9bn to the Office of the Paymaster General (those NNDR billing authorities receipts again). A government department is a very complicated entity and trying to understand its activities through scrutinising its history of individual payments is rather like trying to write a biography of a subject by looking solely at their bank statements.

LHP training program prepares college graduates for engineering careers
July 25, 2012 by John Day
Participants get up to speed on embedded control applications in one-fifth the time
Fifteen recent college graduates are better prepared to begin their engineering careers after spending six intense weeks in Columbus, Indiana, at LHP Software's LHP|U training program.
LHP Software is a contract engineering services firm specializing in automotive and other embedded control applications. It launched LHP|U last summer, and the current class, the program's third, recently completed the course.
Most of those who attended LHP|U are full-time salaried employees of LHP Software, selected from a pool of more than 500 applicants (the rest are interns).
All have strong academic backgrounds from schools such as Michigan Tech, the University of Pennsylvania, Bradley University, Purdue, and the University of Indiana. Most hold Bachelor of Science degrees but some also have advanced degrees. The most recent class includes mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and computer science majors – disciplines that must be able to communicate effectively in developing increasingly complex applications.
Graduates of LHP|U will be assigned to work at customer sites, or to work on customer projects at LHP facilities in Columbus, Detroit, or Chicago. According to one customer's estimate, an LHP|U graduate on his or her first engineering assignment requires about one-fifth the ramp-up time of a new employee hired right out of college.
That's because college life is dramatically different from the "real world," says Zach McClellan, a former Major League pitcher (Colorado Rockies) who heads up LHP|U. College students learn a lot of theory, and when questions arise they can usually turn to a professor for help, but that's not always the case with an engineering project that has to be completed within a tight time frame. Most college graduates entering the workforce must learn to expect the unexpected.
Participants were tasked to apply model-based design technology to develop a diesel engine throttle control application. They had to sort through and correctly label dozens of wires, and at one point figure out why the engine didn't work (McClellan had unplugged a module).
Team building was a priority during the six-week program and participants had to learn "business etiquette" skills when communicating with each other and with managers. Each participant took a turn as a project leader. The control application worked correctly during presentations the participants made to mark completion of the program. Each participant spoke enthusiastically about the experience.
The next class begins in September.

An advertisement for Yeo Valley Organic in England has quickly become an Internet sensation. 'Forever' by boy band The Churned has hit more than 215,000 views since its release.
Yeo Valley Organic is no stranger to music videos. Last year they released a milk rap video that also became an Internet sensation.
Among the lyrics:
"I could have gone astray and not listened to my heart, but every time I'm tempted, I go back to the start."
"There's no harm in our pure and natural farming."
"We are as one with the countryside."
"We'll farm this way forever and ever."
"Family farming has been the driving factor plowing to the future aboard a shiny tractor so listen up people, take after me. "
"Be a little funky, choose the West country."
"We're not a passing fad."
"We don't change by the season."
"We always respect nature."
"Just ask our happy Friesians."
"In your eyes, I see our fate."
Yeo Valley also offers a Karaoke version of their new video so its customers can sing along with the new video.

On the Runway: Vladimir Karaleev Summer 2012
After missing two opportunities for pictorial coverage yesterday (I had a more than bad stance in the more than crowded Kostas Murkudis show, then finally hurried from there to Reality Studio's presentation to find out I just missed it. Oh fashion week drama!), I began this day with the beautiful presentation of Vladimir Karaleev. I took so many pictures and had a hard time selecting my favorites, so I decided to just give his collection the space it deserves and show a lot of them:

At The National Archives, Kew there are housed burial records for military cemeteries around England, I bet a lot of people including myself had no idea these records were there. Anyway we will all be able to access them because DeceasedOnline have scanned and indexed them and are in the process of uploading thousands of these records. The records date back to early 19th century and amongst the cemeteries are included
Greenwich Royal Hospital
Haslar RN
Royal Victoria
Sheerness Dockyard
plus quite a few more whose locations haven't been revealed yet. More details will be available soon on the website.
Other news from DeceasedOnline is that grave plans for seven of the West Yorkshire cemeteries that were recently uploaded are now available and also that cemeteries in Northeast Yorkshire are coming online soon. Just wish I had family in Yorkshire !

The Information Program confronts the potential of digital technologies—both the opportunities they present for civic participation, inclusive education, and accountable governance, and the new threats they pose to open society values.
The Information Program's terrain is the new—networked—public sphere, the space fusing participatory online networks with traditional institutions and media, which is now both a central battleground in many struggles for open society, and an arena rich with opportunities to foster open society. Below are some of our main areas of focus.
Skills & Capabilities in the Networked Public Sphere
New technologies, a proliferation of communication channels, and the rising flood of data are upending advocacy. Skills & Capabilities in the Networked Public Sphere works with an emerging field of technology strategists, data scientists, security experts, designers, and trainers to magnify the impact of actors in the human rights and transparency sectors. Program grantees work with new approaches to harvesting and deploying data to strengthen advocacy and enable activists to use data and technology to maximum effect. The field also includes a growing cohort of organizations devoted to mitigating the serious and persistent online threats to which activists are exposed. Our work seeks to advance genuine accountability and human rights work through the release, development, and use of high-value data sets.
Civil Liberties in the Digital Environment
Digital technologies are rendering our actions, public and private, into data sets that governments and corporations can track, control, and often own outright. To counter these new threats to fundamental rights, including privacy, freedom of expression, and due process, we are working to strengthen civil society organizations that combine mastery of these technologies with advocacy for human rights.
We support responses to the ongoing revelations about surveillance that raise public awareness of its impact on basic freedoms, document current surveillance practices, and ultimately advocate for stronger legislative privacy protections. We have a particular interest in the rise of "big data" and creative approaches to mitigate its harms for open societies. We also support work to strengthen freedom of expression and due process protections on the privately owned platforms that are now essential for public discussion, through new applications of existing human rights instruments.
Access to Knowledge
The global intellectual property (IP) regime remains skewed in favor of incumbent rights-holders. Rather than building public goods, huge public investments in education and research are still captured by outmoded, privatizing models. We support a global movement righting the balance through combatting regressive IP laws; putting forward affirmative new frameworks, like the WIPO Treaty for the Visually Impaired; and campaigning for public access to publicly funded knowledge resources.
To broaden access to research and learning, especially in poorer countries, we support campaigns to redirect public investment in academic research literature and educational resources into open, freely accessible forms.

Does somebody spend months trying to make the show worse? I mean, do they write this thing, and then change it over and over to make sure it stinks?
1) OK, so they go to Vegas for the money grab, forgetting for some reason that the NHL, you know, has teams in cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal. So they put it in Vegas to squeeze out the last nickel. Wouldn't you think they might be able to find some A-list entertainment? Or even B-list?
2) Mispronunciation. Jay Mohr made a big deal of being killed on Twitter for mispronouncing Yzerman (how?). But he and the presenter also said Lindstrom instead of Lidstrom during the Norris presentation, and those two horrible plastic-surgery poster women — no idea who they were — butchered Martin St. Louis' name in the Lady Byng presentation. Jeez. Plus, right in the theater, a big lighted graphic said that the Jennings Trophy goes to the goaltenders on the team that allows the "least goals." Or, in English, the fewest. And how dumb were those Tweets scrolling across the screen? You just know the NHL filtered out anything negative.
3) Those two women who presented the Lady Byng, do they work in Vegas? You know what I mean?
4) Donnie Osmond?
5) Mohr was OK. The pre-show thing he did, mocking "24/7" was pretty good. The two jokes I liked: When he said that you have to win 16 games to win the Stanley Cup … then told Edmonton to relax; he meant 16 playoff games. And when he mocked the Winnipeg folks in the crowd who must be enjoying the running water. And it was cool that he went after the idiot Vancouver "fans."
6) Surprised we didn't get a little more Skid Crosby shoved down our throats.
7) Always good to see the Captain. He looked like Mats Zuccarello standing next to Chara though. Once upon a time, Mess was one of the biggest dudes in the league.
8) How about that shameful commercial for the NHL's video game built in as a segment of the show?
9) Except for the late Derek Boogaard's goal being among the season highlights, was there any other indication that the Rangers actually, you know, played this season?
10) One of the real nice moments was when the Army presented good guy Doug Weight with his award. But, of course, the camera cut to a crowd shot just as the Army officer was presenting Weight with the award.
11) That's enough. It was horrible and embarrassing overall. Just awful.

Between 2008 and 2012, institutions and individuals in Louisiana received $6.4 million from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities for projects that explore the human endeavor and preserve our cultural heritage.
Below are some examples.
- Immediately following Hurricane Katrina, seventeen chairman's grants totaling $476,500 were awarded for disaster relief to Louisiana cultural institutions. Funds were used to prevent mold damage to the rare-Bible collection at Notre Dame Seminary Library, New Orleans; to conserve and recover art at the New Orleans Museum of Art; and to move New Orleans jazz holdings, papers of colonial governors, and other collections from the historic Old U.S. Mint to a climate-controlled Baton Rouge facility. Other assistance recipients included Fort Jackson, Longue Vue House and Gardens, the Acadian Heritage and Culture Foundation, and the New Orleans Notarial Archives.
- As part of Chronicling America, an NEH–Library of Congress partnership, about 100,000 pages of historic newspapers from 1860 to 1922, including the Natchitoches Times and the Feliciana Sentinel, are being digitized at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, with support from $846,000 in grants.
- Tulane University, New Orleans, received $368,500 for roof repairs, shelving, ventilation, and temperature control for the archives and library of the Newcomb Center for Research on Women, which was badly damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
- Prime Time Family Reading Time, developed by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities and supported by numerous NEH grants over the years, works to break the cycle of intergenerational illiteracy. The program has reached nearly 40,000 at-risk children and their parents and guardians in Louisiana and thirty-nine other states since 1991.
- American Routes, a public radio program devoted to the folkways of American music from the avant-garde to zydeco and hosted by Nick Spitzer, received a production grant of $250,000 to support six two-hour and four one-hour radio documentary programs.
- In 2011, libraries at Xavier University, New Orleans, and Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, plus the Assumption Parish Library, Napoleonville, displayed Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War, a National Constitution Center exhibit on constitutional challenges posed by secession, slavery, and wartime threats to civil liberties. The libraries were among fifty nationally that received grants of $2,500 each for the project.
- Louisiana State University, Alexandria, received a $6,000 grant to have a Southeast Library Network consultant lead a disaster planning workshop for library and archive staff.
- KnowLA, an online state encyclopedia, was launched by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities in 2010. Within a year it included more than 300 peer-reviewed entries, plus approximately 1,000 images.
- All Over But to Cry, a documentary funded by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, won a regional Emmy. It tells the story of Hurricane Audrey, which smashed southwestern Louisiana in 1957, claiming more than 500 lives.

LAKE COUNTY, Fla. - Fourteen-year-old Drew Brown was born with Brittle Bone Disease. He spends most of his time in a stroller or in bed, and now his family needs help renovating his house to make it more comfortable.
Brown keeps a positive outlook on life and says it's his mission to encourage others. He's the greeter at his church and he always likes to give others advice.
Drew's grandmother left his mom the family's house next door to their trailer, but the family can't afford to renovate it along with all Drew's medical bills.
They'd like to give him more space. His current room is almost taken up entirely by his bed. He also needs a handicapped-accessible bathroom.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration wants to survey residents of Washington and Oregon about the value of the ongoing ecological restoration project -– one of the largest dam removal projects in U.S. history.
One dam is gone, the other in the process of being removed, and the result is several species of salmon are being counted in the fish weir on the Elwha River and the first adult Chinook salmon have naturally migrated into Olympic National Park, according to recent posts on the park's excellent Dam Removal Blog. The park is located in Washington state, west of Seattle and across Puget Sound from that city, on the Olympic Peninsula.
Workers continue the task of removing two dams, the Elwha Dam (which is gone) and the Glines Canyon Dam. The bloggers have reported 2012 will be the last spawning season when Chinook salmon won't have access to the watershed above the Glines Canyon Dam, which is scheduled to be removed by the start of next summer.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration now plans to conduct a survey of residents of Washington and Oregon about the value of the ecological restoration project -– one of the largest dam removal projects in U.S. history. NOAA's Sept. 12 notice said the survey has been tested with focus groups and individuals, and plans to administer it online and then by mail, with the goal of obtaining 1,300 completed surveys in all.
Results will be useful in planning future restoration actions, according to the notice.

Belle Oaks Inn Pecan Orange Bread
Michelle London
As the innkeeper at Belle Oaks Inn in Texas, this was one of the first things I was taught to make by the owners. Their "signature" breakfast bread, it is always a huge hit with guests, and is deceptively simple!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
- 1 can(s)
- Pillsbury Grands 8 ct. buttermilk biscuits
- 1 can(s)
- Pillsbury Grands 5 ct. buttermilk biscuits
- 1 c
- sugar
- 1 stick
- unsalted butter, melted
- 2 small
- oranges
- 1/2 c
- confectioner's sugar
- 1/2 c
- pecans, chopped
- 1 pkg
- cream cheese
- 1 dash(es)

How to Make Belle Oaks Inn Pecan Orange Bread
- 1Spray a large bundt pan liberally with non-stick spray. Set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 2Pour sugar into small bowl. Zest both oranges and add to sugar. Mix to combine. Reserve oranges to juice for glaze.
- 3Melt butter. Pour a small amount of butter into the bundt pan and spread 1/2 the pecans in the bottom.
- 4Open the cans of biscuits. Taking one biscuit at a time, open each biscuit and insert 1 tsp. of cream cheese into the center. Press to seal. Dip the biscuit in butter and then dip in sugar-orange zest mixture, coating entire biscuit. Stand biscuit in bundt pan on its side. Repeat with remaining biscuits, creating a circle around the bundt pan.
- 5Pour remaining butter over the biscuits and sprinkle remaining pecans on top.
- 6Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until biscuits are puffed and golden.
- 7Remove from oven and turn bread out from bundt pan onto desired serving platter.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/4/2013 (1585 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THIS debut gothic novel set in Ontario's remote Bruce Peninsula on Georgian Bay demonstrates an enormous love of the natural environment. Unfortunately, it's often hard to see the forest for the trees.
In 2009 Hilary Scharper, an anthropology professor at the University of Toronto, released her debut short-story collection, Dream Dresses. The stories explored the outward appearance as well as the inner life of girls and women. Perdita is her first novel.
The story opens as Garth Hellyer, a historian and researcher for a longevity project, comes across a woman, Marged Brice, who claims to be 134 years old.
Though obviously skeptical, Garth is asked by the director of the nursing home where Marged resides to try to verify the information as part of his research on the elderly.
Marged also pleads with him to read her diaries so that he will believe who she says she is. She also tells Garth that a mysterious figure she calls Perdita will not let her die and seeks his help.
Most of the story takes place in the past and is told in the first person through Marged's diaries written in 1897 when she would have been about 19.
The remainder of the story, narrated by Garth, is set in the present and focuses on his relationship with his childhood friend Clare.
The tale alternates between the past and Marged's growing romantic involvement with two men and the present where Garth enlists Clare's help in trying to solve the puzzle of Marged's true identity. They also attempt to unravel the mystery of Perdita.
The Bruce Peninsula is the setting for both time frames. Garth and Clare live in cottages along the coast where Marged once lived many years earlier.
Scharper infuses Perdita with a gothic and romantic flavour that calls to mind Daphne Du Maurier's classic 1938 novel Rebecca. But she also throws into the mix mystery, lessons in Greek mythology, the supernatural, a strong emphasis on the natural environment and history.
This makes for a rich and complex story -- but it is also overwhelming. There are so many facets and layers and threads to the story that it seems cluttered, often distracting and not nearly as suspenseful as it could be.
Because Marged's diaries are supposed to have been written in the late 1800s, the prose here comes across as quaint, overly formal and constrained. This slows the story down considerably.
Even the conversations between Garth and Clare seem overly formal and their characters are not as well developed as Marged's.
It's also hard to become concerned about what the future holds for Marged until close to the end. And so it is perplexing that, as the story closes, the we are left with mostly loose threads and unresolved issues. It almost seems as though a sequel might be in the works.

UF lands offensive lineman commit
Published: Friday, July 25, 2014 at 1:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 25, 2014 at 7:47 p.m.
Florida coach Will Muschamp did something earlier this month that Urban Meyer did not do in his stay in Gainesville: land an Ohio recruit.
On Friday, he pulled it off again.
Two weeks after getting Cleveland linebacker Jerome Baker, the Gators picked up a verbal commitment from Cincinnati offensive lineman George Brown.
The 6-foot-6, 264-pound Rivals250 member chose UF over Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU and more than 50 other offers.
"I like everything about the school," Brown said of Florida. "The campus is an amazing place. All the people there, not just coaches and players, they really care about you.
"And playing in the SEC is big. It's the best conference in the nation. You're playing against the best competition every week. That's just going to make me better and help me get ready for the NFL."
The Gators now have nine members in their 2015 class. Baker and Brown will be the first Ohio recruits to sign with UF since DeShawn Wynn in 2002.
Verbal commitments are not binding until prospects sign their national letters of intent.
