Here's the dilemma for American Christians. We read our biblical story into our national story. We wed biblical redemption to national redemption. Jesus saves us to be Americans.
But is that the biblical story?
Jesus preached the Kingdom of God. This was a vision of community rooted in inclusive community, justice and tolerance. It was a vision of family rooted in God as loving parent with members of the community living together as sisters and brothers.
Of course, the Kingdom of God was not without its nationalistic implications. There were many Jews, including followers of Jesus, who wanted Israel to be the dominant kingdom — that is still true today.
But that was not Jesus' vision. He saw the Kingdom of God as a place where the weak and vulnerable had a chance — had a chance.
He talked about the blessed poor and "the least of these." He had a vision of community where the most powerless and the most weak were the most protected and the most valued.
We don't do that much anymore.
Why not?
Why is it so threatening to talk about the weak, the poor, the desperate — the thrown away of our society? It's almost as if the needs of the needy are a threat to our existence.
And are they? Do the needy threaten to put our existence at risk?
They do if our goal is to live a life of privilege, a life of prosperity — a life of abundance.
But suppose what God has in mind is a shared life. What if God dreams of a life of shared abundance — a life where everyone has enough and no one has more than they need, or less than they need.
Here is the Kingdom dream — that God's will is done on Earth as it is heaven. Imagine a world where everyone has enough. Imagine a world where God's resources are distributed equitably.
Politicians now call this socialism because that serves the cause of the upper class. But God calls this justice because it serves the cause of those have no one to speak for them.
How would you feel if no one spoke for you?
There was no Fox News? There was no MSNBC? No one.
But Jesus speaks for you.
I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was in prison and you visited me.
I was sick and you did not deny me health care.
Well, it's the Fourth of July. It's our time to celebrate our national independence. We are free to do what we want.
We can be as self-serving as we want. We can be as selfish as we want. We can be as intolerant and partisan as we want. It's all what freedom means.
Or, we can rise to a higher level of citizenship — both nationally and internationally — and aspire to a vision of the Kingdom of God that calls us to our higher angels. It's a vision of community that elevates everyone — and especially the least of these, those for whom Jesus seemed to have special regard.
I was hungry and you fed me — and you did not condemn me for being hungry.

Student Success and Retention
The Office of Student Success is dedicated to ensuring all students have the necessary supports – inside and outside of the classroom – to fully realize their musical, academic, and personal potential at Berklee College of Music. By supporting students as they face obstacles associated with college life, the Office of Student Success assists students in making connections with Berklee. The foundational belief is that all admitted Berklee students are fully capable of realizing their musical, academic, and professional goals. We also realize that at times, students experience difficulties (academic, emotional, health-related, as well as family emergencies and other unexpected challenges) and there are many resources on campus that can help. We are committed to helping students make the most of their college experience. During individual meetings, we present students with options to help them decide how to proceed, emphasizing that sometimes a short-term change may be the long-term solution to success.
We help all students connect with the many support services available at Berklee.

Section News
The Criminal Justice Section Student Research Center will re-open on June 13, 2011. The hours of operation will be Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The SRC, located in Room 303 of the Criminal Justice Center (The Jack Meyer's lawyer's lounge), offers free case law research for court appointed and CJA counsel. The research is provided by law students from local area law schools. Attorneys wishing to request research assistance on an appointed case can do so either by visiting the lawyer's lounge directly and meeting with a law student in person or they may submit a research request online via the Student Research Center tab on the left side of the Criminal Justice Section website.
The Criminal Justice Section will make every effort to house multiple students in the lawyer's lounge during its operating hours. However, given the multiple commitments that law students manage, it is possible that the student research center will not be fully staffed at all times. Therefore, whether you submit a request online or in person you should first contact the lounge at 3-7538 or 3-7539 (CJC internal only) or email@example.com to check student availability.
A special word of gratitude must go out to the Hon. Lillian Harris Ransom, the Honorable Rayford A. Means and our Student Research Center Co-Chairs, Gabriel Hindin, Esq., and Ellen Cantillon, Esq.
Please keep checking the Criminal Justice Section area of the Philadelphia Bar Association website and the Criminal Justice Section Blog for important news and updates.
The Criminal Justice Section offers prosecutors, defense attorneys and judges the opportunity to meet and collaborate on issues of mutual concern within the criminal justice system. Membership in the section is available not only to lawyers and judges; any person employed within the criminal justice system in Philadelphia, or by the courts, is eligible to become an associate member of the section. In addition to continuing legal education courses developed specifically for criminal law practitioners, the section also sponsors public forums on issues of concern to the broader community.
The Criminal Justice Section has three awards:
1. Thurgood Marshall Award (formerly the Criminal Justice Section Award). It is presented at our annual holiday party in December.
2. Cesare Beccaria Award. It is presented every November at a reception in the Mayor's Reception Room in City Hall. The Justinian Society participates in the award and presentation.
3. Henry Czajkowski Award. This award was created in 1996 to honor the late Hank Czajkowski, an outstanding court administrator. It is to be presented from time to time to non-lawyers who have made outstanding contributions to the administration of justice. In 1996 it was presented to Joseph A. Cairone.
The purpose of the Award is to represent the highest honor that the Criminal Justice Section can give to anyone, whether or not a member of the Section, who exemplifies the ideals of Justice Thurgood Marshall's career. The Award should be for long-time service, not an individual event, although a specific event can be the triggering factor.
This Award represents the highest honor that the Criminal Justice Section can give to any member of the Bar, whether or not a member of the Section, who exemplifies the ideals of the career of Cesare Beccaria, the 18th century Italian scholar whose writings presaged the dawn of the modern penal system. The Award is to recognize distinguished achievement of a member of the Philadelphia Bar in the field of education in criminal justice, including legal and/or general education activities in the field.
Beccaria published a book in 1764 advocating a new and complete system of criminal law and procedure stressing swift trials, prompt, moderate and certain punishment, rehabilitation and the abolition of the death penalty. However, advocacy of these principles should not be the only criteria for the Award.

Austin >Food Stores > Thoms Market
1418 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX | Directions 7870430.261619 -97.759629
Neighborhoods: South Lamar, Zilker
A petite little grocer on Barton Springs Road that carries local Austin confections, blends up their own protein shakes, and let's you create a "mix n' match" six-pack of microbrew bottles.
what a wonderful place! – I go to Thom's Market every single day. I could not imagine a day without it. Somedays I go two or three times. The owners are ultra-friendly, and their hand-picked merchandise is always wonderful and satisfying. No, this is not a huge place, so they won't have every single thing you need. But, boy, the things they do have are DELICIOUS. Don't even waste your time to ask "is this product good?" because you can just rest assured knowing it is "the best" the owners have found (and they know food. They've traveled extensively, and know how to get the good stuff). No, you won't find Mannwiche or some crappy over-processed food you shouldn't be eating anyway. Yes, they might have to charge a few pennies more than some crappy big-box bulk-buy crap-a-rama store. And, no, they aren't trendy and don't sacrifice shelf-space for a wine-bar or fancy displays, but isn't that a GOOD thing???
This store is South Austin at its best. If you're driving or walking around and you've got the munchies or the thirsties, stop in, buy something you've never had before that is uber-delicious, uber-gourmet, or uber-old-school, and a cold drink, and talk to a real live human being behind the counter, and your day will improve at least 1000%. I think they could prove that scientifically if they tried, but they don't have to for me to know it's true. This store is one of the best things about Austin.
And, by the way, this store isn't that far from the Hike and Bike Trail, if you exit at the Barton Springs Bridge and go east on Barton Springs. What a perfect ending to a perfect stroll!!!
Pick up off-the-wall specialty foods alongside basic ingredients at this quaint Zilker neighborhood grocery. – In Short
Turning Barton Springs Road into more than just restaurant row, this locally owned mini market brings selective products to area epicureans. Run by the well-traveled Thom family, the former bait shop stocks everything from flavored agave nectar, Amy's frozen foods and local eggs to rare candies, fresh produce and a surprisingly diverse beer and wine selection. Bill and Beth Thom, who are regularly perched behind the 19th-century wooden counter, offer suggestions, recommendations and a little neighborhood camaraderie.

End of the Road
Women's soccer co-captain Peyton Johnson was part of two Ivy League championship teams in her four years, including an undefeated Ancient Eight campaign this season. But her career came to an end following a 1-0 lose to Boston University in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Postseason Cut Short For Women's Soccer
The Crimson (12-4-2, 7-0 Ivy) saw its season come to end on Saturday as No. 25 Boston University (15-3-4, 8-1-0 Patriot) came away with a 1-0 victory at Nickerson Field. The Terriers' win ended Harvard's 14th NCAA Tournament appearance.
Women's Soccer Completes Perfect Ivy Campaign
After clinching the Ivy League title last week with a 2-1 win over Dartmouth, the Harvard women's soccer team continued their roll through the Ivies with a 2-1 win over Columbia. The Crimson finished the season with a 7-0 conference record, marking the first time since 1999 that Harvard has been perfect in the Ivy League.
Dodge Ball
After a slow start, the Harvard women's soccer team is poised to win the Ivy League championship. Leading the Crimson is newcomer Midge Purce. The freshman forward leads the Ivy League with 16 goals and 26 points.
Women's Soccer in Reach of Title
A 0-3-1 start does not usually describe a soccer squad poised to make a title run. Yet that was where the Harvard women's team stood a week into the season.
Freshman phenom Midge Purce got the Harvard women's soccer team on the board Saturday against Dartmouth, and co-captain Peyton Johnson added the game-winner 16 minutes later.

"Winning the Ivy League, it's a day you remember forever," co-captain Peyton Johnson said.

It took nearly 100 minutes for someone to score Tuesday night in Providence, but with a second overtime looming in the rafters, senior co-captain Elizabeth Weisman delivered for the Harvard women's soccer team.
Women's Soccer Defeats Princeton, 4-0
On a frigid Saturday evening at Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium, not even the chill could cool off the Harvard's freshman duo of Midge Purce and Joan Fleischman. The forwards scored two goals apiece in the Crimson's 4-0 victory over Princeton.
Women's Soccer Looks to Maintain Unbeaten Streak
On Saturday night at Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium, the Crimson will look to continue to do what it has done for the past 44 days: stay perfect.

Harvard (8-3-1, Ivy 4-0) propelled itself past the Bears on Saturday afternoon at Soldiers Field in a 3-1 victory, its fourth straight win in the Ivy conference.

During the "Mayor's Night Out" any resident who wants to talk can meet one-on-one with Mayor Peduto at a City recreation center in Beltzhoover, and he will direct them to the appropriate administrator for follow-up. Later in the month he will hold a "Mayor's Night In" where people from around the city can come to his offices for similar consultations.
Mayor William Peduto announced today the hiring of Ray Gastil as Director of the Department of City Planning.

The City of Pittsburgh needs to invest in long-term and systematic changes to its roads and other infrastructure, Mayor William Peduto said Wednesday in Brookline, partially through initiatives in the City's final Act 47 recovery plan.

Mayor William Peduto appointed 45 individuals to serve on 11 boards, authorities and commissions in the City of Pittsburgh today.

Fifty-five percent of the appointees are women and approximately one quarter of the appointees are African-American.
Mayor William Peduto's Severance Incentive Program, or SIP, concluded Friday with 65 city employees taking advantage of the severance benefit. This represents a 51% participation rate by salary, almost exactly the 50% rate predicted by the Peduto administration when the program was announced in January.
"We have an incredible opportunity to bring changes to this government as a result of this program," Mayor Peduto said. "These employees have been dedicated, hard working members of our team who will definitely be missed; but we must take this opportunity to diversify our workforce and to bring in new ways of thinking about the challenges this city faces."
Mayor Peduto applauds Gov. Tom Corbett's call for a new long-term financial plan for the city through the Municipalities Financial Recovery Act , which will enable the Mayor to craft a final five-year financial strategy that gets Pittsburgh out of budget trouble once and for all.
PITTSBURGH, PA - (March 13, 2014) "I pause with sadness today to remember the fatal Hill District fire 10 years ago that took two Pittsburgh firefighters from us, injured 29 others, and destroyed a more than century-old church on Wylie Avenue. I remember vividly that day seeing smoke rising in the blue sky, only to find out later the terrible news.
As the Gospel read at the Funeral Mass for Charles Brace and Richard Stefanakis in March 2004 said, 'There is no greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friend.' As we celebrate again the rebirth of Ebenezer Church after a horrible day 10 years ago, it is a time for our whole city to reflect upon the emergency responders who are acting as heroes every day."
In conjunction with meetings by the National League of Cities, Mayor William Peduto is addressing a meeting on Cities Expanding Children's Access to Health Care.

The Department of Public Works deployed 45 trucks overnight to plow primary and secondary streets and will put out 65 trucks and tractors starting with the 6 a.m. shift today. Road treatment materials are being reserved for bridges, curves, hills and intersections.
As of 6 a.m. Pittsburgh Public Schools were running on time.
Public Works plans to plow more secondary and side streets today, and conditions should improve with daylight. However, the National Weather Service predicts temperatures will drop to minus-1 degrees overnight Monday into Tuesday, so that may lead to refreezing of some streets. Sunlight Tuesday morning should help conditions greatly.
PITTSBURGH, PA - "Pittsburgh, and the world, lost a broadcasting legend today. Starting in the late 1940s at the station that later became WAMO, Porky give many R&B performers their first airplay and notice, and went on to become a visionary champion of rock and roll. I just saw Porky last weekend, and whatever we called him -- Daddio of the Raddio, Bossman, Your Platter Pushin' Poppa -- I am honored to have called him a friend."
After a relatively intense period of snowfall late this morning and afternoon, accumulation has reached approximately 3 inches as of 3 p.m. Snowfall will continue on and off until 3 a.m. tomorrow morning and the city could receive an additional 3 inches in that time. Lighter snowfall could continue after that point into the late morning or early afternoon.
The Department of Public Works currently has 45 vehicles plowing and treating roads. At this point all primaries have been plowed once and Public Works is going back to plow some of them again. After this, Public Works will turn its attention to secondary roads. However, primaries and emergency routes remain the city's top priority and if heavy snowfall returns, vehicles will be diverted back to primaries.
Temperatures Tuesday are forecast to be just above freezing and to rise every day for the remainder of the week. This will help immensely to melt the snow and ensure that roads are drivable early in the week.
Trash collection will occur as normally scheduled tomorrow, so residents with a Monday pickup should place their trash at the curb as they normally do. If for some reason the weather does not permit Environmental Services to pick up all of the trash tomorrow, they will add the remaining trash collection routes to their Tuesday schedule.
The weather forecast has changed considerably over the last 48 hours and the city is looking at a snow event that is starting now, builds up momentum this afternoon and ends early Monday afternoon, with accumulations of 4 to 6 inches total over that time. Still, the forecast and the storm can change quickly and the Department of Public Works remains at the ready for a much larger snow event should the city receive one.
Public Works crews are pre-treating bridges, primary hills and curves and will soon begin plowing. There were 24 vehicles in service this morning with others poised to join the response when necessary.
Road conditions will become difficult this afternoon and travelers are asked to use extreme caution as they drive city streets. Roads will remain slippery throughout today's snow event and into Monday. Should accumulations exceed forecasted amounts, travelers are asked to stay off the roads unless it is absolutely necessary.
The city's 311 call center will be closed today but open at 8 a.m. Monday morning. Residents are advised that it could take 24-48 hours after the snow has stopped falling to clear city streets and the city will wait to respond to individual requests for snow plowing service until that time.
Mayor William Peduto announced Friday that the Urban Redevelopment Authority has reached an agreement with the Buncher Co. that will provide an opportunity to evaluate alternative development strategies to save and re-use the historic produce terminal building in the Strip District.
The Department of Public Works is preparing for a predicted 6 to 12 inches of snowfall starting Sunday night, and warning residents of possibly treacherous road conditions come Monday.
As of Friday morning, light snow was expected during the day Sunday with larger amounts hitting the area after 6 p.m. Sunday evening public works crews will begin working in 12-hour shifts with 50 trucks dispatched overnight and 65 trucks, including tractors affixed with plows, dispatched early Monday morning.
This is currently rated a Level 3 storm, meaning an emphasis on addressing emergency and primary routes, followed by secondary routes.
Neighborhood groups now have until March 7 to apply for $2,000 grants, with chance for extra $3,000
High schoolers, don't miss the chance to tell Mayor Peduto what to do!
Keeping with his promise to run an accountable and transparent government, Mayor William Peduto is cutting city-issued parking passes by nearly 90%

That's not possible. Another poster told you that in your last post.
I was 16DPO when I got my BFP.
"Your truth is different from my truth, and we're both right."
TTC since March 2013. BFP 4/13/13, blighted ovum discovered 6/6/13, m/c 6/8/13.
BFP 11/10/13, EDD 7/25/13 - stick little owlet!
You can be 2 weeks post ovulation, which is probably fairly normal.
I found at 9, maybe 10dpo.
I was 3 weeks, 5 days.
It's actually not possible to find out you're pregnant at 2 weeks. That's when you would have been ovulating. The embryo implants 6-12 days after that, so the absolute earliest that would be possible to find out is usually around 3 weeks.
Whitterpow:4 weeks 1 day and my levels were still barely detectable at that point. My first blood hcg was 60 at 4 weeks 3 days. They double every 48 hours approximately and most hpt don't detect lower than 25.
The last part of this really isn't true. After my last miscarriage I had a noticeable line on a FRER when my blood hcg was as low as 5. Digitals usually detect at >=25, others are much more senstitive.
sonrisa:It sounds like you are measuring fetal age. I was just under 2 weeks fetal age (ie. just under 4 weeks pregnant for traditional measurements of gestational age which counts from LMP - the first two weeks or so are before you even ovulate).
This, and I was about the same
alyssajeremy:I don't believe in hpt. I just knew because I missed my period and I ALWAYS feel super bloated when implantation occurs.
I'm sorry, but can you elaborate? Why don't you believe in home pregnancy tests? Do you not believe in hcg?

FORTUNE -- Dear Annie: I want to sue my former employer for wrongful termination but, before I go and talk to a lawyer, I thought I'd ask you whether I have a case. My boss, who is an avid marksman and gun collector, already didn't like me because our politics are so different. (I never discussed politics at work, but I do have a four-year-old Obama sticker on my car.) Then, a couple of weeks ago, I spoke up in favor of tighter gun control laws, during a casual conversation in the break room, and three days later, I was fired. Coincidence? I don't think so, and several ex-coworkers who have heard this boss badmouthing me don't think so either.
Doesn't firing someone because of their political opinions violate their First Amendment rights? If I sue the company for wrongful termination, what are my chances? — Down and Out in Denver
Dear Down: Let's clear up one common misconception right away. As I've mentioned in this space before, when you are at work on private property belonging to an employer, and on company time, you have no First Amendment rights. (Government employees do, but that doesn't apply here.) "People think political speech should be a protected category under federal law, but it isn't," says Sharon Stiller, a partner and director of the employment practice at law firm Abrams, Fensterman.
MORE: Are the French really that lazy?
Four states, however, do have statutes that protect your right to express your political views at the office without fear of reprisal. They are Louisiana, South Carolina, Connecticut, and California, so that doesn't help you. What your home state of Colorado does have is a law that says an employer can't penalize you for political activities outside of work -- running for office, for instance, or campaigning on someone else's behalf on your own time. But, since you piped up about gun control in the break room, that doesn't help you, either.
(By the way, New York and North Dakota also have laws that say your political activities outside of work are your own business. California is the only state that protects political speech both on the job and away from it.)
But there's a much broader issue here, and that is the widespread confusion over what the term "wrongful termination" means. Many people seem to think that getting fired for any reason that seems unfair or unreasonable is "wrongful." But in fact, the dominant legal principle in the U.S. is "employment at will," which means that, unless you're covered by a union agreement or an employment contract that says otherwise, you can be fired for any reason, or for no reason.
"You can be dismissed for being left-handed, or blue-eyed, or too short, or too tall, or just because the boss doesn't like you," says Stiller. The flip-side of employment at will is that (again, absent a contract that dictates something different), you're free to quit anytime and go to work somewhere else -- cold comfort though that may be, in a job market where employers seem to hold all the cards.
So if wrongful doesn't mean unfair, what does it mean? Federal law spells out a handful of public policy exceptions to employment at will. You can't legally be let go because of your sex, age, race, or religion, or because you complained about sexual harassment.
In addition, state laws cover some situations that federal law doesn't address. "Sexual orientation is protected in some states but not others," notes Stiller. "Other states have created their own protections. New York, for example, has made victims of domestic violence a protected category." Federal statutes like Sarbanes-Oxley, and many state laws, also protect whistleblowers against reprisals for reporting company wrongdoing to regulatory authorities.
MORE: It's not game over for pinball
Those who were fired for other reasons probably can't make a case that his or her dismissal -- however knuckleheaded it might have been -- was wrongful termination. "The only way for individual employees to protect themselves is by understanding their legal rights before a problem arises, rather than finding out afterwards," Stiller says.
To illustrate what she means, consider Nelson v. Knight, a case a couple of months ago where the Iowa Supreme Court decided that it was okay for a woman to be fired because she was too attractive. (I'm not making this up.) The facts in a nutshell: After plaintiff Melissa Nelson worked as an assistant to a dentist named James Knight for more than 10 years, he suddenly decided she was "irresistible" and began flirting with her and making suggestive remarks. This upset Knight's wife, who insisted that Knight fire Nelson. He did. Nelson sued him, claiming sex discrimination, on the grounds that, if she were not female, none of this would have happened.
The court disagreed, saying that firing someone because a consensual relationship has made a third party jealous is not sex discrimination. The point is that "employees do have rights, but they need to know what those rights are," says Stiller, who thinks Nelson might have won if she had not welcomed her boss's amorous advances (as apparently she did). "She didn't have a sex discrimination case, but she might have had a sexual harassment case if she had handled the situation differently.
"Even in big companies with very good legal and HR departments, most front-line managers don't understand these issues any better than employees do," Stiller adds. "Employers need to do a better job of educating people about what their rights are and aren't -- and about how to raise issues before they get to the lawsuit stage." A word to the wise.

Educational Philosophy: My educational philosophy emphasizes the value of language to describe our world and shape our thinking. We read various texts, reflect carefully upon them and share this in discussions that give us a context of ideas for writing. I voice my own ideas but encourage each student's perceptions and participation along with self and peer review of essays. To this end, I offer informational resources and beneficial feedback on essays and invite questions. Through such an integrated practice of reading, reflecting and sharing, each student gains insight and self assurance as a writer and critical thinker.
Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
Every course has a Core Assessment, which is one assignment given in all sections of the course. For En 105 the Core Assessment consists of one final-draft essay from each student's portfolio, chosen by the student, plus a Reflective Essay. Written at the end of term, the Reflective Essay must describe in significant detail the student's strengths and a discussion of opportunities for improvement as revealed in the complete portfolio. The reflective essay must also analyze the student's overall development as a writer over the duration of the semester/term.
Although all students in all sections will present a portfolio that includes evidence of prewriting and multiple drafts, the Core Assessment will consist only of one final-draft essay and the Reflective Essay.
Link to Class RubricClass Assessment:
All graded components of the course include detailed assignment descriptions and grading criteria.
Grading: The grading scale for EN 105 maintains an "A" as 90-100%; a "B" as 80-89%, and so on.
Weekly Discussions
25/ea = 200 pts = 20 %
Peer Reviews
25/ea = 50 pts = 5%
100/ea = 300 pts = 30%
Revision(ed) Essays
75/ea = 150 pts = 15%
200/ea = 200 pts = 20%
Writer's Notebook
50/ea = 50 pts = 5%
Final Examination
1000 pts = 100%
Late Submission of Course Materials:
Work must be submitted on time to be considered for full credit. Essays that are submitted late may receive one letter grade deduction per day. Discussion posts must be completed by the end of the week to be considered for credit. All peer response posts for week five and six must be posted on time (see discussion guidelines and deadlines for these respective weeks in class), to receive credit. Keeping up with deadlines benefits the learning process for everyone as each week builds into the next. It is always a good idea to begin the work early in the week.
Length Limits: The General Requirements suggest a length range for each essay. The range is established as a reasonable guide for your written work. Any essay that does not meet the general length requirements may receive a penalty proportionate to the portion missing. On the upward end, an essay may exceed the required length at the instructor's discretion; however, you are urged to moderate the scope of your essays with sensitivity to the prescribed limits.
Proctored final examination - An examination will be taken in a proctored testing environment during the 8th week of the course at one of the Park University sites around the country or at an alternative location. For proctored examinations, photo identification is required at the time of the test. Guidelines for selecting an acceptable proctor can be found on the Park University website.
Students should schedule exams with a proctor at one of the Park University sites around the country if possible. If this is not possible and a non-Park proctor is requested, the student must provide an explanation on the proctor form under "student comments" or the form will not be accepted.

Recipe: Basic Yellow Butter Cake
This one-bowl recipe can be mixed up in under 10 minutes, and it turns out a reliably light golden cake with a moist crumb. It's solid with flavor and the taste of butter, unlike the over-heightened, additive-ridden cake mix products, which usually taste overwhelmingly of sugar and not much else. It's a plain, fast cake, and ideal when slathered with thick fudgy frosting. I also like to layer it with warmed jam and powder the top with confectioners sugar.
The most time-consuming part is preparing the cake pans, and you are going to have to do that whether you use a boxed mix or not. It really does come together in a few minutes, and in spite of the quick one-bowl method it has always given me reliable and consistent results. Cakes have a reputation for trickiness, but this recipe simply doesn't support that.
The recipe is pretty much straight out of the old reliable Betty Crocker. I use whole milk, since I think it adds just a little more richness, and I do not make the original recipe's allowance for margarine in place of butter. For a cake, only real butter will do!
Quick Yellow Cake
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Take the butter out of the fridge to soften and preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare one 9x13-inch pan or two 9-inch round pans by greasing them thoroughly with butter or baking spray. You can also flour them, if you want, although this isn't strictly necessary. Sprinkle a little flour over them, tilt and shake to distribute evenly, then tap out the excess over the sink.
Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar together until fluffy and light, then add the eggs and beat until fully incorporated and light. Beat in the flour, salt, baking powder, and finally the milk and vanilla. Beat everything together on low for 30 seconds, then high for 3 minutes.
Immediately pour into the prepared pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops spring back slightly when pressed.
Let cool on wire racks for at least 15 minutes, then flip each pan over onto the rack and tap gently all over. Lift the pan slightly. If the cake doesn't feel like it's falling out smoothly, lay a slightly damp kitchen towel over the pan and tap again. If necessary, let the cakes cool more. If they have been baked thoroughly, however, they should fall right out of the pans once they've cooled a little and the sides of the cake have shrunk back from the pan.
Cool completely then frost and eat!

Nigella Lawson's sponge recipe is my go-to white cake--similar in that it's a one-bowl, ten-minute process that yields a very light and yummy cake. And it's a great base for anything from Boston cream pie to strawberry shortcake.
Faith: This is timely, as I am hoping to bake my first ever cake for my husband's birthday this week. But can I do this without an electric beater? Will my stick blender work? Thanks.
Lesley, that's great! I hope this works well for you. A stick blender should do fine, I think, as long as you cream the butter and sugar well and whip everything for a full three or four minutes after that. Let us know how it turns out!!
the question of greatest, most earth-shattering importance to me is: how would you make a chocolate version? cocoa or chopped baking chocolate? and how much?
Thanks, Faith. I will let you know how it goes! First, though, I need to buy some 9 inch cake pans. Any tips on what I should get? I've got a Sur La Table nearby.
Lesley, I would buy them from anywhere, the last cake pans I bought were from the grocery store and they work great and were a fraction of what you would pay in Sur La Table. I just wouldn't buy any disposable kinds;)
I concur with Sarah on the pans... I have pretty basic ones and they work fine. In general, heavier=better, and I would pick light colored ones over dark black, but that's all not going to make a huge difference with this recipe, at least.
And liz - I probably wouldn't try to convert this to a chocolate cake - I do have a good chocolate cake recipe, though - I'll post it soon! I'm sure others would have great suggestions too...
hello, I am wondering, if I would use a springform pan, do i have to use 2 of them to make this recipe? thank you:)
I wouldn't try the springform pans. The batter is likely to leak right out the bottom. They're meant for cheesecakes, which have a thicker consistency and usually a crust.
I love Wilton pans. I believe I bought them at Wal-Mart, or a local craft place like AC Moore or Michaels, which sells cake decorating supplies. They are relatively inexpensive, but you'll still be using them in 20 years.
I also believe the dark pans, with this recipe, would brown the cake too much, as well as cause the cake to dome. (By cooking the outside too fast.)
I want to make this cake but I also need a recipe for fudgey chocolate frosting. If you have one readily available i'd appreciate it.
Does this recipe work for a 12x18 sheet? thank you
This recipe is fantastic! Ever since I moved to France, I've struggled to get the satisfactory results from my baking (ingredients are just different enough - the butter is less water and more fat than even the "european style" butter in the U.S. for example) but this came out perfectly - even though I had to hand mix it all as my KitchenAid is in the U.S. (hoping to get a 220V one eventually). Thank you! Thank you! Thank YOU! :-)
I made this today. I doubled the recipe, and bought disposable foil circular cake pans, and used three to make a layer cake. It worked out perfectly with a little batter left over for a smaller cake. Came out perfect.
And as far as fudgey chocolate frosting, allrecipes.com has a good recipe for sour cream chocolate frosting. I made it as well and it tastes exactly like fudge. Delicious!
This is my go to cake recipe for all occasions. Every time I bring it anywhere it gets rave reviews. It is so very simple, there is no excuse for making a boxed cake :)
I'm trying to figure out how you make a cake, or more specifically, cream butter and sugar with a stick blender.
Also, I want cake now. Too lazy to bake though.
I finally tried this recipe and am happy with the results, though my cake wasn't very yellow. Other recipes call for more yolks which accentuate the color. I also added 2 TB of vegetable oil which yielded a more moist cake.
What an awesome, easy recipe!! I did add an extra 2 TBS of oil per Mochene's recommendation. Great flavor and dense yet airy texture.
To the springform pan questioner, I baked a wedding cake in my springform pans--they do indeed work for normal batter. Just make sure you have the thing assembled correctly.
Moosewood Restaurant Cooks At Home has a Six Minute Chocolate Cake that is my go to chocolate cake recipe for cakes & cupcakes. It's even easier than this yellow cake. No pan prep necessary and you can mix everything in the cake pan and then put it right in the oven. I've been looking for a similarly easy (and yummy) yellow cake mix. Can't wait to try this. Thanks.
I just put this cake in the oven (for some reason I had thought that my cake pans were 8" pans, but there definitely was not enough batter for all three of my cake pans so I had to consolidate at the last minute). Maybe I didn't have enough common sense, but as I poured the batter into the pans, even after a lot of scraping during the earlier steps, there was a thick layer of batter stuck to the bottom of my Kitchenaid bowl after the 3 minutes of high speed mixing, so I had to dump all of the batter back into the bowl and hand mix to reincorporate the thick part of the batter into the thin part (I scraped as I beat the eggs in and after the flour, but erroneously thought that it would be fine without scraping the bottom thereafter).
I've got a cake like that, too, that I can make (and bake!) in less than an hour. It's endlessly variable - you can add anything to it.
Hurray! I am one of the people who requested an easy yellow cake and I'm so excited to try it! And since I have the day off and so far it's still sort of cool outside, I may just have to try it. Thanks, Faith!
Should one use cake flour or all purpose flour?
@Magzeen I always just use all-purpose. I think that the crumb would be a little finer with cake flour, but I rarely use it. I just made this over the weekend, in fact, for a friend's birthday. It's a very reliable sort of cake!
@Liz Here is a really quick and easy French chocolate cake recipe:
Whisk 5 eggs with 200g sugar until pale and frothy
Melt 200g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) with 200g butter
Combine chocolate mixture with egg mixture
Fold in 60g flour and 1tsp baking powder
Transfer to a 28cm/10" buttered cake tin and bake in a medium hot oven (180) for 40 mins
I love an easy cake recipe!
How would I adjust the cooking time if I wanted to make this recipe into cupcakes?
Wow, I just made this cake and it is a great recipe! Longlegsto, I made it as cupcakes and they took about 20 minutes to bake. I had too much batter for the 12 cupcakes I needed, so I baked a single layer with the leftover. All I had was a springform pan and it worked just fine, no leakage.
birthday cakes are in the oven now :) trying this with one cup all-purpose flour, and one and a quarter cake flour.
I was thinking of trying to halve this to make just one 9 inch cake. Any suggestions on what to do about the egg? Try to do 1 1/2 eggs? :o) Or just go with 2 eggs?
I made this for a cake decorating class I am taking. It is odd some of the ladies in the class (maybe because they are trying to get in the cake decorating business) all said it was good but it was missing something which disappointed me. But I have shared this cake with my mom and co workers and they said it was delicious! I liked it myself. In response to the last comment you can go ahead and do the full recipe and make the two cakes and freeze one of them or use additional batter to make cupcakes. If you freeze and thaw it out it will have the same consistency.
I loved this cake! When I halved it, I just went ahead and used 2 eggs and it worked fine. Very moist and not overly sweet. Great recipe!
Made this yesterday and it was great. I was so tired of trying to find a good yellow cake recipe that was moist and light and not cornbread texture. Finally! This is one to keep in the files. Plus the fact that it was really quick and easy was a bonus.
I made this cake for my sister's birthday today!!! I was so relieved and happy that it came out so well!! This was my first time making a BIRTHDAY Cake from scratch. Thanks so much for this recipe!!
Okay... I know this comment is so far after the fact, but, for those of you looking for a good chocolate one-bowl cake, I love Martha Stewart's. Easy peasy, makes a good size layer cake or sheet cake, a TON of cupcakes and it's available on her website. And it's super chocolate-y and yummy. Can't beat it!
OK....making this cake & adding a TON of raspberries to the batter, once in the pan (did it with a box mix & it was FABULOUS!).... just dump a LOT of raspberries all over the top of the batter, once smoothed in the pan & bake....they sink & bake to a jam-like consistency/YUM!
OK.... i made this, & COVERED the top of the batter with a qt of fresh raspberries. they did sink & bake into the cake, and it is DELICIOUS! VERY moist & quite tasty....and it keeps getting better, as it sits! a def keeper recipe!
Total bust! I suspected too much baking powder - classic sinking in the middle. What a waste of ingredients! Luckily I have time to make another cake!
I baked this in a 9x13 for 25 minutes. Careful to measure all ingredients accurately and not over mix after reading the reviews. At the 25 minute mark I checked the cake and the center had collapsed and was still very wet. I did research and saw it was the baking powder amount. I've never had this happen before so I will keep this recipe but adjust the BP and try again. I see others did NOT have this problem which perplexes me, I did think well over a TBS of baking powder was quite a bit. The cake is not a sweet cake, if you like it sweeter of course you can add more sugar, but I think with the frosting it will be okay.
I'm just getting into baking cakes from scratch. I did a search for a yellow cake recipe last night, found this, and made it. It is DELICIOUS!

Friday night live: Walsh, Duckworth square off in Fox Chicago, made-for-TV debate
By Mike Danahey email@example.com September 15, 2012 12:12AM

Updated: October 17, 2012 6:27AM
There were fireworks in West Dundee Friday night for the town's Heritage Fest which were a bit more explosive than the hour-long made-for-TV debate held outside of prime time for incumbent GOP 8th District Congressman and Tea Party favorite Joe Walsh and his Democratic challenger and former Obama administration member Tammy Duckworth.
Which is to say, the candidates reiterated points they have been making elsewhere recently in a format that covered so many topics it was difficult for either to go into any depth about anything, much less enter into any lengthy or heated exchange during their lively discussion.
The hour-long session was hosted by Fox Chicago political editor Mike Flannery and "Good Day Chicago" anchor Anna Davlantes in the station's news studio. Fox Chicago Anchor Kori Chambers fielded questions submitted on WFLD's Twitter and Facebook pages, and the program, which aired lived at 9:30 p.m. also held prepared segments on topics such as immigration, healthcare, and education, particularly the teacher's strike in Chicago.
The immigration discussion led to Walsh's August comments about "a radical stream of Islam" in the U.S. he claims threatens the lives of Americans — including residents of Addison, Elgin and Elk Grove — at a townhall meeting in Elk Grove.
Walsh reiterated his position that there is a radical stream of Islam that has been and will continue to be a threat - and that Attorney General Eric Holder has noted 126 cases being investigated.
"We can't let political correctness kill Americans," Walsh said.
Duckworth said that "reckless words can lead to reckless actions" and that if Walsh knows of plots in the three mentioned towns, he should be working with their police departments.
Of the recent troubles in the Middle East, with embassies under siege and diplomats murdered, Walsh once again chastised the Obama administration for "almost apologizing for the film (a YouTube video mocking Muslims) and free speech. We live in a free country."
Duckworth said that cooler heads need to prevail and agreed with efforts to go after such terrorists.
Per the Dream Act and President Barack Obama's executive order allowing children of illegal immigrants to stay here under certain conditions, Walsh called the move unconstitutional and that such youths should not be allowed to go to the front of the line of those wanting to become Americans.
Duckworth said that such children should have to give back through service to the United States, become educated and have no felonies to become citizens. She favors a "very, very, tough path" to naturalization for the undocumented already here as tracking down and jailing an estimated 13 million people would be impractical.
Concerning healthcare, Walsh said he would work to repeal the entirety of Obamacare and replace it with some sort of "patient centered care" which would, among other things, allow people to buy insurance policies across state lines.
Duckworth said she would work to change parts of the Affordable Healthcare Act particularly that applies to businesses of 50 or so having to provide health insurance for their workers.
"We have to keep guaranteed benefits," she said.
Of the Chicago Public Schools teacher's strike, Duckworth said neither side was 100 percent right and was glad to hear that a tentative agreement may have been reached.
While agreeing there needs some sort of measurement of student progress, Duckworth is not keen on charter schools which she likened to a lottery system, leaving the losers behind.
Walsh said charters and voucher systems encourage competition, which he claimed improves the entire school system.
Walsh found it odd that Duckworth was torn between the teachers union and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel - camps which both support her campaign - because "this is all about the kids." At the same time, he said the strike really is because "teachers don't want to be evaluated."
On abortion, Walsh restated that he is pro-life without exception, while Duckworth said she "trusts women to make decisions about their own bodies," and favors public funding in some cases.
On if people are better off now than they were four years ago, Duckworth felt they are, to a small degree, "but there is a lot more work to do." She chastised Walsh for being the lone Illinois "no" vote for a transportation bill that would create jobs in the 8th district. At the same time, she felt there does need to be less regulation for small businesses, tax credits for hiring unemployed people, and even a higher bar for increasing income tax than the $200,000 family income targeted by the Obama administration.
Walsh said, "Washington doesn't create jobs," and he challenged Duckworth to tour the district - which covers parts of Cook, DuPage and Kane counties - with him.
"That would be a riot," he said.
With Illinois dubiously leading the nation with one in 300 houses in some stage of foreclosure, Duckworth said more should be done to help those underwater refinance and to assist community banks, while Walsh said "the best housing program is jobs."
Walsh kidded Duckworth for how many times she said "let's get to work." Her mantra for the evening also included words such as cooperate, compromise, and the phrase "don't demonize."
Walsh concluded his comments for the evening by noting the nation needs to do some growing up, that politicians should stop making promises they can't keep, that bills have to be paid, and "we can't keep living in denial."
Duckworth said she would roll up her sleeves to collaborate in a bipartisan manner.
"It's about serving the nation. There's hard work to do. Let's get to it," she said.
Duckworth, of Hoffman Estates, is a former Assistant Secretary of Veterans Affairs who lost her legs in 2004 in Iraq after the helicopter she was co-piloting was hit by an RPG. Her heavy-hitting backers include President Barack Obama's former Chief of Staff and campaign manager David Axelrod and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin. Duckworth lost a bid for Congress in 2010. She was born in Thailand to a father in the U.S. military and mother of Chinese heritage.
Walsh was born and raised in Barrington and lives in McHenry, which is out of his district, the boundaries of which were redrawn by the Democratic-controlled Illinois state legislature after the 2010 census. His involvement with rise of the Tea Party movement brought him to national attention.
Walsh and Duckworth debated in May on CLTV, and two more debates are scheduled. The next is set for 7 p.m., Oct. 9 on WCPT - AM & FM and AM 560 WIND, will be held at the Meadows Club in Rolling Meadows, and is open to 8th district residents. The final session will be held Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. on television on WTTW's "Chicago Tonight."
For those wishing to watch Friday's outing, Fox Chicago has video and transcripts posted on its website, www.myfoxchicago.com and will rebroadcast the debate Sunday at 8 a.m.

I hear On GMA about this, It's well been Cool, i can't wait to hear it.
A new video of Lisa Marie Presley singing "In the Ghetto," accompanied by her late father, Elvis Presley, will be posted Friday on the AOL Internet site Spinner.com, a company spokesman said Tuesday. To mark the 30th anniversary...
Link To Original Article
Here you can discuss the latest Elvisnews
I hear On GMA about this, It's well been Cool, i can't wait to hear it.
So this is the "big surprise" Lisa had planned for the 30th?
Ecch ... wasn't the Don't Cry Daddy duet enough of an abomination?
I think Lisa will be great, can't wait to hear her singing with her dad again.
I love Lisa in a duet with her dad too and I think her choice of song will be a good one!
cant wait to hear this song
i loved the dont cry daddy duet
Waw A Good Surprise I Look Forward To Hearing It Thanks For Letting Me Know
can't wait i thought don't cry daddy was brilliant brought tears to my eyes
Those ENs editors are biased and will only publish yes-men's opinions and do respect all fans' comments (even when they're harsh, fans always send in sincere and constructive criticism) Wonder if they know english enough to run that site... american philosophy and way of life, and above all, free expression is treasured in this country; maybe not so much abroad (NL??)
We love Elvis and have sent in hundreds of suggestions and recommendations but they always know it better and wouldn't even print those...they'd rather stick to poor judgement of some of their own crew (with short vision and no marketing experience).
its not memphis 77, he's somwhere else.
how come you dislike Lisa so much???
like her? No. I just stated the fact that she cannot sing. If in your
language that means the same as not liking a person, so be it.
Warren Beatty cannot sing either, yet I love him to bits as a
person and as an actor. See the difference?
Ok i can't wait for it ! I don't care whether she can sing or not..i like the fact they do this, makes the feeling of Elvis being here and what it would be like if he were alive today..
I can't wait for it !!!
Ladies, He's mine
well said burning.
torture people audio wise, they haven't done anything to her.
I'm sure everybody will appreciate it if she'd just show up, since
she's been notably absent for most special occassions (25th
year, too, I believe).

We promised to share our latest strawberry preserve. Well, here it is...
- 2 1/2 cups ripe strawberries
- zest and juice of one Meyer Lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh young thyme leaves
- 4 2/3 cups granulated sugar
If you want to add lemon zest to the jam, I think it is very important to do the following steps. First, zest one lemon - try to avoid peeling much pith. Heat small pot of water on stove and simmer zest for 5 minutes. Remove the zest from the water and set aside. This process removes the bitterness of the lemon oil while preserving the gentle lemony flavor of the peel.
Combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in your jamming pot. I let the mixture sit in the refrigerator, covered, for about ten hours. You could let it sit overnight, if you wish. When you are ready, bring the sweet concoction to a simmer, then pour it into a ceramic bowl and cover with parchment paper. Let it macerate overnight in the refrigerator.
Next day, pour the jam into a sieve. Bring the collected syrup to a boil in a preserving pan. Continue cooking on high heat, while you skim off the foam that forms. You want to bring the temperature of the syrup up to 221˚ F in order to achieve the proper consistency. Crush the strawberries and add them to the syrup. Add the thyme leaves as well. Return the jam to a boil on high heat. Skim and return to a boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Check the set. You want the jam to reach 221˚ F, or you can check by putting a few drops of jam on a cold plate and check the consistency. You want it to bead up nicely on the plate, not flow like water.
When you get the consistency you want, put the jam immediately into sterilized jars.
The flavors of this jam were inspired by a delicious post on Crumpets and Cakes for a Thyme and Strawberry Galette.

text: The curriculum at The Strong's Woodbury School is Reggio Emilia-inspired and is therefore responsive to the interests of the children in the class. This approach uses an "emergent" curriculum philosophy that encourages teachers and students to work together to plan the curriculum and create projects. Guided by teachers who facilitate their explorations, children delve deeply into topics that fascinate and stimulate learning. Small and large group activities involve art, music, cooperative games, movement, pre-reading, math, and other age-appropriate experiences. Parents have the opportunity to see how their children learn through student art, photographs of students at work and play, video recordings, and projects.
