A petition from the campaign to
>>> Let's SLAM The BRAKES On Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect!! <<<
On Feb-27-2008 George Dahmer aka Former Pro Wrestler Chief White Owl from WWF now WWE was Admitted to Lake Worth Manor in Lake Worth, Florida for senile dementia by Columbia Hospital. George was admitted to Columbia Hospital on Feb-20-2008 because he ran away from home. Columbia Hospital wanted to have further evaluation done on George's senile dementia and the medication he was on. He was then transferred to Lake Worth Manor for a short term stay of 120 days for evaluation and then to return home. George Was 72 Years Old. George could talk, walk, and feed himself. The first week the facility lost George's upper parcel plate (teeth). As the weeks went by the Facility lost some of his belongings (pants, shoes, and shirts). The staff put size 8 shoes on him when they were suppose to be size 10's.{they were someone else's shoes} Blisters were forming. The staff had George over-medicated. The staff was trying To feed George pork chops when he had no upper teeth. George had fallen out of the wheel chair and his rotary caps in both shoulders were turned-family wasn't notified until 4 days later. George was yelling loud when they were transferring him from the wheel chair to the bed. Patricia-(Wife) was asked to leave the room.The next time she requested to stay In The room while they transferred him and shocked Her how they were transferring George {one nurse on each side of him and pull him up by his underwear up to the back and throw George in bed. That is why he was yelling. The nurses were hurting him. The upper parcel plate was received and then the Facility lost the bottom parcel plate.
George's stay in Lake Worth Manor was 63 days. George was severely neglected at Lake Worth Manor. Florida Department of Children and Families -Elder Abuse was notified and so was The Ombudsman. Lake Worth was charged with Negligence and fined $5,000.00. George lost all residents rights. Patricia contacted a Attorney for her husbands neglect. The Family Demanded George out of Lake Worth!! On April 30, 2008 George was transferred by ambulance to Heartland of Boynton Beach, Florida. The Staff cleaned him up and then reported the horrific news- dehydration, malnutrition, lost 32 pounds In 8 weeks, decubitus ulcers On both heels of his feet and tailbone stage 4. Both rotary caps turned In both shoulders. George could not walk anymore, feed himself, and could not talk. After being in Heartland for 16 days they transferred George to JFK Hospital for a feeding tube. JFK wanted to amputate both feet. George had been deteriorating from the lack of care from Lake Worth Manor which lead to his death. The decubitus ulcers then lead To pneumonia then George Dahmer passed away at 3:16 pm on May 23,2008. The Wrongful Death Suit filed by Patricia was in process. The Attorney told the family to remain quiet till there was a court date. Patricia went to court Nov-2012 in front of a Jury Trail. On Nov 20th the Jury found Lake Worth Manor Guilty on all charges for Wrongful Death. The Nursing Home is appealing the punitive damages. Waiting to go to Appellate Court.
The Dahmer Family wants *J*U*S*T*I*C*E!! The Dahmer Family is striving for STIFFER Laws and HARSHER Penalties for Nursing Homes. The Dahmer Family does not want to know George died In vain.
***POWER To ALL The ELDERLY!!*** GOD BLESS THE ELDERLY!!*** We_The_ People Of The United States Of America Demand STIFFER Laws and HARSHER Penalties On ALL Nursing Homes. The elderly, disabled, and all human beings need maximum protection on their health and safety. Let's make this a better world to live in for everyone.
The Dahmer Family is Striving for :
1. Require Nursing Homes to have background checks done before commencement of all employees, then every third year on all employees. Prohibit convicted felons. {The Director of Nursing at Lake Worth Manor was a convicted felon: armed robbery, theft, assault, and drug charge.}
2. Make sure every Nursing Home is fully staffed at all times.
{Lake Worth Manor was EXTREMELY UNDERSTAFFED}. The Nursing
Facility will be FINED $10,000 per occurrence not being fully staffed. Being UNDERSTAFFED means the quality of care suffers.
3. Health Inspections done every 3 months instead of every 15 months.
4. Make sure there is a Doctor on site 7 days a week. If not, Then there needs to be ready access to an after hours Doctor for residents. {There was no Doctor assigned at Lake Worth Manor..
5. Make sure there is a minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per resident coverage living in nursing facility for negligence or death and
$10,000,000 global coverage {Lake
Worth Manor covered $10,000 per resident coverage.}
6. Surveillance camera's put in residents rooms upon request.
{School's, Nursery's, etc have them, so why don't nursing homes?}
7. Nursing Homes must have a 4 or 5 star rating or FINED $10,000 per occurrence when below 4 star! NEEDS IMPROVEMENT!!
8. ALL the above Nursing Home requirements and regulations shall not be State funded. The owner, owners, Or corporations shall be fully responsible to make sure every Nursing Home Facility has maximum protection and maximum safety on each resident staying or living in Nursing Home Facility. Make sure that all residents rights are GRANTED!! Each resident should get the best care there
Is. Treat each resident with dignity and respect. The way it should be.

Dawn on its way to the asteroid belt
Lift off, at last
Dawn, NASA's mission to the asteroid belt, has at last launched successfully. At the time of writing, NASA mission managers were still waiting for the Delta II's second and third stages to fire, but so far it is all looking good.
Lift Off! Image credit: NASA
Dawn was originally slated to depart early this summer, but lightning storms kept it pinned down on the launch pad. The most recent delay was to allow more time to fill the rocket's second stage, bad weather having forced engineers inside.
But Dawn is finally on its way. Now it has to travel across the inner solar system to the asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter. Scientists think the asteroid belt is full of the debris from the formation of planets.
Dawn is on its way to study Ceres, officially a dwarf planet and the largest body in the asteroid belt, like Pluto, which it will reach in 2015. Ceres is thought to hold a layer of water ice roughly 40km below its surface. But first it will stop off at Vesta, a large asteroid roughly half the size of Ceres. It should reach this target as soon as 2011.
The two targets are very different from one another, and are thought to have been formed by totally different processes. NASA describes them as a bridge from the rocky bodies of the inner solar system to the icy regions of the gas giants.
Vesta is a rocky body, whose surface seems to be basaltic rock, or frozen lava. It has a giant crater at one of its poles, created by a massive collision millions of years ago. This smash blasted out some 200,000 miles of rock that scientists believe are responsible for roughly five per cent of all asteroids we find on Earth.
Ceres, meanwhile, is believed to contain large quantities of ice. If only 25 per cent of its mass is water ice, it would hold more fresh water than there is on Earth. Some researchers believe it is not only possible that the dwarf planet holds ice, but that liquid water may flow beneath its frozen crust. It is also possible that it has frozen poles.
Dawn's goal is to work out what processes were involved in the formation of Vesta and Ceres, and hence the early dynamics of our solar system as a whole. ®

Despite being a young upstart in the mobile phone market and only grabbing about 2 percent of the worldwide market share for mobile handsets, Apple has surpassed long-time market leader Nokia to become the most profitable handset maker on the planet. According to Strategy Analytics, Apple's operating profit in the third quarter of this year hit the $1.6 billion mark, while Nokia topped out at $1.1 billion. The accomplishment is rather significant given that Apple entered the market just over two years ago.
Two factors contributed to Apple's move into this spot. One is the overall decline in mobile phone sales while sales of smartphones continue to climb. The other factor is Apple's penchant for healthy profit margins. "With strong volumes, high wholesale prices, and tight cost controls, [Apple] has successfully broken into the mobile phone market in just two years," wrote Strategy Analytics analyst Alexander Spektor.
The iPhone essentially redefined the market for smartphones, and has been building a strong first-mover momentum for advanced mobile devices while other handset makers attempt to mimic Apple's success with their own touchscreen phones, new mobile operating systems, and app stores for distributing applications. Meanwhile, Nokia, though retaining a lead in unit sales for both mobile handsets in general and smartphones in particular, has seen sales drop, is still struggling with the process of open-sourcing its Symbian OS, and had issues with component supplies and pricing.
Apple's strategy in the mobile market is quite similar to its strategy in the overall PC market. While the company has roughly 4 percent of worldwide PC sales with revenues that are significantly lower than rivals Dell and HP, its net income beats Dell and isn't far from HP. In other words, Apple's strategy boils down to working smarter, not harder.
This low-volume, high-margin approach is the same one that Apple used with the iPhone. However, the blend of style, ease of use, and well-stocked App Store drove the iPhone to push its profits beyond those even of Nokia. Apple may not ever become the number one mobile handset maker, and we don't think it would mind—Apple has for years seemed content to simply be highly profitable.

Editor's note: We've gathered several experts to offer suggestions on trimming expenses in light of tighter margins in 2014
It's no secret that profit margins are getting tighter. After a year of struggling crop prices, USDA predicted last month that 2014 won't be much better, with average prices for corn, soybeans and wheat dropping lower than in 2013.
You can't control the market, but you can control your expenses. Knowing your cost of production not only allows you to trim costs, but also when to lock in profit opportunities—and therefore, weather a challenging year.
Download these spreadsheets from Iowa State University to estimate your 2014 crop production costs.
Account for Value
Iowa farmer and AgWeb margins expert Chris Barron suggests that you not only need to know your costs, but also their value to your farm.
"Cash rents, equipment, seed and fertilizer are among the most costly individual line items. Collectively, these four items can easily make up 80% of your production costs," he says. "The challenge is to distinguish the difference between additional costs to your farm and understanding the value that comes back to your operation."
Accounting for value is also important when it comes to marketing.
"It's critical to analyze and measure your expenses at a high enough level so that you don't underestimate the price you need to cover all your expenses," Barron says.

Keep Your Production Costs in Check for 2014
With grain prices dropping, it's time to get creative. There is no one-size-fits-all-farmers answer, but there are numerous ways to more closely align costs with returns. Here are the money-saving tips we've gathered.

Well, life has certainly changed a lot around here in the past few months! Full-time ballet has been replaced with a full course-load at University, a change that involved a move across four provinces. So here I am, a more than 4500 kilometre drive across the country later, in a city where I don't know a soul, about two years (if all goes well) from graduating. Apparently I'm an all or nothing sort of person when it comes to big life-changes!
My degree of choice (buckle your seat-belts folks, it's a shocker) is …. Nutrition! So far I don't have a good feel for the program since classes like Statistics and Biochemistry aren't particularly nutrition specific. I am taking one class that is actually a hospitality class but it's all about the reactions of cooking and baking and it involves a lab where you cook food (a fun class although not vegan friendly by any means).
Those changes have led to the development of bulk weekend cooking and kind of boring meals in general. However the term is almost over (I can't believe it has flown by so quickly!) and I have a whopping three weeks off for the holidays, so I'm hoping that might result in some blog fodder. Also, exam break is coming up, and what better way to study for the aforementioned foods class than to mess around in the kitchen making up recipes?
So now I will leave you with some eye candy from a camping trip over the summer during the big move.
Takkakaw Falls (Yoho National Park)
Hope to be back soon with food!

Animal liberation group Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) will be stopping by Seattle on their West Coast tour this July. The first day the organizers from the East Bay Area chapter of DxE will speak about the origins of the network, its organizing principles and its current campaigns. This will also be a place for discussion, where we will trade ideas and hear about the struggles and campaigns that Seattle is involved with.
The second day of their tour will be a day of action, where they will collectively plan and implement actions at different locations across the city with those who want to get involved based on what they learned during the first day.
The purpose of the tour is to strengthen the network and relationships with activist communities through face-to-face interaction. As part of the "network" in NARN, we are excited to learn from activists doing new things and figure what can be applied in Seattle.
Please join DxE, NARN, and your local animal liberation community for this event before you head out for any giant vegan BBQ potlucks. This will be a great way to really kick off the Seattle summer! If you are unsure about DxE, anti-corporate activism, civil disobedience, humane myth-busting, or any part of their campaign, this is a great time to learn more. Free of course!

Shelter visitors were thankful to have each other during the holidays.
Each Thanksgiving, St. Mary�s Kitchen provides the less fortunate with turkey dinners. However, this year, while needing a meal, that wasn�t the sole reason about 50 people walked through the doors on Thursday.
�I come to get with the people really,� said Cathy Dawson of Kinston. �I get tired of staying by myself.�
She lives across the street from St. Mary�s and said it provides everything the community needs, which is why she �loves� it.
The shelter on North Independence Street gave away plates of food Thursday morning from 10-11:30 a.m.
�It�s a little easier because we don�t have to worry about starving because we don�t have a place to eat,� Dawson said.
She�s lived in the neighborhood alone four years.
Joane Spencer and Jason Dawson usually have dinner with family, but their families celebrated in Goldsboro this year, making the trip too far. They brought their nephew Michael Jercobi Eaton, 2, to St. Mary�s to enjoy their Thanksgiving meal.
�This time of year is my favorite holiday,� Dawson said as he fed Michael from his lab. �I�m thankful for being here period, living and waking up this morning.�
Spencer said she lost her only son about 15 years ago, which is why she cherishes family during the holidays.
�It really gets to me on days like this, but it�s just a blessing to be here today,� she said. �Family is very important. You should be thankful just to see them one more time because you never know when the last time you�ll see them.�
She said she goes to St. Mary�s every couple of weeks to have a meal.
On Thursday, the tables were decorated with hand-made place mats with a painted turkey on it and holiday messages for diners.
Thanksgiving�s volunteer crew, led by crew leaders Joe and Mary Hamilton, said their impact in serving dinners is a reason for them to be thankful themselves.
�It�s the highlight of my Thanksgiving break,� said volunteer Conner White, 14.
He was among four youth who were excited about the event all year.
All of the food was donated by the community, churches and Select Food grocers, Joe Hamilton said. The crew was preparing the meal for about 13 hours.
St. Mary�s has been open more than 50 years, originally as a soup and sandwich spot. The community donates food and services to help keep it running, and many volunteers have different reasons for their assistance.
Gage and Vera Evans said they come out every year as a tribute to their late parents. Vera said her father died on Thanksgiving four years ago.
The youngest volunteer, Sierra Gilbert, 10, lit up at the thought of helping others.
�I like to help the homeless,� she said.
St. Mary�s has left over turkeys to cook into the upcoming week. The shelter is open six days a week with serving hours of 10-11:30 a.m.

After five years of living strictly gluten-free, I can honestly tell you, Dear Reader, there are very few things I still miss from my pre-celiac diagnosis. From melty chocolate brownies to delicious gluten-free bread, I've managed to recreate and reinvent many old favorites.
But there is an archetypal pairing I do, indeed, miss. It's a simple want. Nothing fancy. And it's not some precious, tiny cuisine perched on a plate with a few stingy drips of - insert latest food infusion fad - trying to pass as art. Nope.
It's pizza and beer. A slice with a cold one. That's what I want. That's what I miss.
Well, guess what? One half of my burning desire has been quenched and this humble gluten-free goddess couldn't be happier. I am pleased as proverbial punch to report on the new sorghum lager now available from Anheuser-Busch, called Redbridge - Babycakes, it is beer-tastic! I had my doubts, I'll admit (being part Irish, who can blame me?), but when I read about Redbridge beer over at the NFCA website, the photograph alone made my mouth water. Come to Mama! I had to find some. I looked everywhere, but no store in Santa Fe carried it. Bummer.
Over at my cool and chic gluten-free home girls' blog aka The Celiac Chicks, I learned the proper way to pour a Redbridge. Pour the beer into a glass so that it smacks the bottom of the glass. This releases carbonation and produces a perfect foamy head. I did this last night, and, indeed, it does! (Thanks, Kelly!)
Next? Now that the Santa Fe Whole Foods is finally carrying Redbridge in their beer section, I gotta create that perfect gluten-free pizza crust recipe to go with it. And now that I have the beer, Dear Reader, it's cake.
Here is the recipe I'm going to try - sent in by Lydia. The good news is - it is egg and dairy free.
Lydia's Gluten-Free Pizza Dough
In a measuring cup, proof:
1 cup warm water (following temp. directions on your yeast package)
1 package dry, active yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
Whisk together in a bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes as the yeast proofs and begins to foam.
In mixing bowl, combine:
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon each: dried basil, oregano, rosemary, and crushed red pepper (optional)
1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1-2 teaspoon salt
1 scant teaspoon xanthan gum
Add the proofed yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
2 1/2 cups gluten-free flour*
Mix the dough by hand for 2-3 minutes. Let it rest as you oil a pan and sprinkle cornmeal on top of the pan (to prevent dough from sticking).
Drop the dough onto the pan and using wet or oiled hands, flatten and spread the dough evenly to the thickness you prefer. (This usually covers a 10x13-inch baking pan.)
Allow the dough to rest while you pre-heat your oven to 425ºF.
Pre-bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes.
Add sauce and toppings. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or so, until the crust is done and the toppings are heated through and bubbling.
3 parts white rice flour
3 parts brown rice flour
2 parts potato starch
1 part tapioca flour
She notes: If you use a pre-made gluten-free mix, I would recommend not using one with leavening (baking soda, baking powder).

The NEC says you can use the grounded neutral conductor to ground the noncurrent-carrying metal parts of frames and enclosures making up an electrical system. As we discussed in Part 1 and 2 of this series, you must sizethe grounded conductor (when used as an equipment-grounding conductor and a current-carrying neutral) large enough to provide a low-impedance path for ground related fault-current to return over it and cause the circuit breakers or fuses to operate and de-energize the feeder-circuit in the event of a fault. However, when each of two or more buildings has a grounded service fed from a main AC service, you must separately ground the electrical supply to each building.
For example, if you run the electrical supply to one of the buildings, with a feeder used to serve another building from the main building, you must ground the feeder neutral conductor to an electrode at the other building, except: 1) When there is only one branch-circuit run to the "other" building, and an equipment grounding conductor is run with this circuit; and 2) When an equipment-grounding conductor is run with the feeder-circuit for grounding purposes.
Grounded neutral conductors serving another building from a main building: Sec. 250-32(b)(2). When a common AC grounded service supplies one or more buildings/structures, you must separately ground each panelboard at each building or structure. You must ground the grounded neutral conductor at the panelboard in the second building/structure, and size it based on the rating or setting of automatic overcurrent protection device (OCPD) in the feeder circuit, as specified in Table 250-122. As per Sec. 225-33(a), the disconnecting means for each supply shall consist of not more than six switches or six circuit breakers mounted in a single enclosure, a group of separate enclosures, or in or on a switchboard. If necessary, Sec. 225-32 and 250-32(d) allows you to locate the disconnecting means elsewhere on the premises.
Grounded conductor used as a neutral and equipment-grounding conductor: Sec. 250-32(b)(2). When you use a feeder-circuit from the service equipment in the main building to serve a panelboard in another building, special requirements apply to the grounded neutral conductor. This is true if you use the grounded conductor as a neutral plus an equipment-grounding conductor. The same rules apply to the second/third buildings, or any buildings installed on the premises and supplied from one common service by a feeder-circuit.
When one service supplies two or more buildings or structures, treat the conductors leaving the first building as a feeder. When they arrive at the second building, treat these conductors as service-entrance conductors and terminate as in the service equipment.
Since the feeder is grounded when it arrives at the second building, you can treat the equipment it serves as a service. This feeder circuit must have the grounded neutral conductor run inside the same raceway or cable, containing the ungrounded phase conductors. Size this conductor based on the size of the OCPD in the main building ahead of the feeder-circuit conductors supplying building two. If you use metal conduit, it must not connect in parallel with the grounded neutral conductor in one building so currents can flow from building to building.
Bonding jumpers used as equipment bonding jumpers: Secs. 250-32(b)(2) and 250-102(d). You must size the equipment-bonding jumper on the load side of the service overcurrent devices in accordance with the requirements in Table 250-122. The equipment bonding jumper is not required to be larger than the circuit conductors supplying the equipment, and not smaller than No. 14. Note that a single common continuous equipment bonding jumper shall be permitted to bond two or more raceways or cables, where such bonding jumper is sized by the provisions listed in Table 250-122.
Grounding conductor used to ground equipment: Sec. 250-32(f). Size the grounding conductor according to Table 250-122, and install in accordance with Secs. 250-92, 260-64(a) and (b), and 250-120(a). If you use a metal conduit to protect a grounding conductor, you must bond it to the conductor at both ends. The part of the conductor that is the only connection between the electrode and the grounded or grounding conductoror the metal enclosure of the disconnecting means does not have to be larger than required per Table 250-122.

Know the Habitat on your Farm
In order to farm for crop pollinators, it is important to know the habitat on your farm. Native bees need both food and shelter-they eat only pollen and nectar and they nest in tunnels or in the ground. In the process of gathering pollen and nectar resources, bees move pollen from one flower to another, and thus pollinate your crops. Bees rely upon an abundance and variety of flowers, and need blooming plants throughout the growing season. Native bees don't build the wax or paper structures we associate with honey bees or wasps, but they do need places to nest, which vary depending on the species. Wood-nesting bees are solitary, often making individual nests in beetle tunnels in standing dead trees. Ground-nesting bees include solitary species that construct nest tunnels under the ground. Cavity-nesting social species-bumble bees-make use of small spaces, such as abandoned rodent burrows, wherever they can find them. Using the illustration below as a guide, look for areas on and around your land that can support native bees. Additionally, you can download our Habitat Assessment Guide or our Farming for Pollinators brochure.
Hedgerows or Windbreaks
To create pollinator hedgerows, use a wide variety of plants the benefit bees and have overlapping flowering periods. This will provide food and nesting resources for bees throughout the growing season and strengthen populations of natural enemies of crop pests.
Riparian Buffers
Habitat along streams should contain a diversity of plants. Willows, in particular, will nourish bumble bee queens in the spring so that large numbers of workers are available when crops begin to bloom.
Natural or Undeveloped Areas
Nearby natural areas may harbor all the native bees needed to pollinate your farm's crops. Consider inviting your neighbors to help with safeguarding these habitats.
Artificial Nests
Making bee blocks for wood-nesting bees is a good way to increase the number of native bees in your landscape.
Keeping dead trees standing provides shelter for native bees. Some solitary bees build nests in abandoned beetle tunnels in snags.
Field and Road Borders
Leave areas next to fields untilled and unsprayed to support flowering plants and provide nest sites for ground-nesting bees.
Cover Crops
Flowering plants—certain legumes in particular—can be included in covercrop mixes to supply pollen and nectar.
Temporary Bee Pasture
Planting fields with canola or other inexpensive seed—or allowing crops such as lettuce, kale, basil, and broccoli to bolt—will supply bees with nectar and pollen.
Ponds and Ditches
When you create a pond or ditch, leave the pile of excavated soil. Ground-nesting bees may build nests in stable, bare areas of this mounded earth. Planting clumps of native flowers will attract more pollinators.
A vegetable, flower, or herb garden, with a diverse assortment of plants, is a good source of food for pollinators. Be wary of fancy hybrids that may produce little pollen or nectar.
Fallow Fields
Even small areas of fallow or unproductive land, especially when sown with native flowers, can offer important resources for native bees.

4 American troops injured in South Sudan
WASHINGTON — Four American troops were injured Saturday when their aircraft came under fire over South Sudan, where they were attempting to evacuate American citizens. The mission was aborted.
The military said three aircraft were attacked by small-arms fire from the ground as they were approaching the town of Bor. All three aircraft sustained damage in the attack, the military said in a statement Saturday.
The aircraft, tilt-rotor osprey, were able to divert to Entebbe, Uganda, where the wounded American servicemembers were transferred to Air Force C-17 planes and flown to Nairobi, Kenya, for treatment. The four were treated and were in stable condition, the military said.
The U.S. forces were part of Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa.
Bor is the Jonglei state capital and the scene of intense fighting for the past week.
South Sudanese officials blamed the attack against the American aircraft on rebels. The U.S. military identified the ground fire as coming from "unknown forces."
The country has been racked by violence for a week after an attempted coup triggered fighting between rival ethnic groups. The violence has killed hundreds and has world leaders worried that a full-blown civil war could ignite in South Sudan.
The U.S. aircraft were hit a day after a United Nations helicopter was downed by small-arms fire in the same state. Rob McKee, operations manager for Warrior Security, a South Sudan security company, told the Associated Press the helicopters were trying to evacuate personnel from a base in Yuai, Jonglei state on Friday.
Earlier this week, President Obama dispatched U.S. troops to help protect the U.S. Embassy in the capital, Juba. The U.S. Embassy organized at least five emergency evacuation flights to help U.S. citizens leave the country. Other countries like Britain, Germany and Italy also helped citizens evacuate.
Obama was updated on the attack on the U.S. military personnel after he arrived in Hawaii late Friday to begin a two-week vacation with his family. He received a secure telephone briefing on Saturday morning from several members of his national security team — including National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken — about the situation on the ground in South Sudan.
"The President underscored the urgency of helping to support efforts to resolve the differences within South Sudan through dialogue. South Sudan's leaders must know that continued violence will endanger the people of South Sudan and the hard-earned progress of independence," according to a White House statement. "This conflict can only be resolved peacefully through negotiations. Any effort to seize power through the use of military force will result in the end of longstanding support from the United States and the international community."

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded funds to Iowa City, a UNESCO City of Literature, to develop a video series and website showcasing the work of Iowa writers as part of a national public outreach program to expand access to the city's many valuable writing resources.
"Iowa City has had an outsized influence on American literature," said NEH Chairman Jim Leach. "In granting it a City of Literature designation, UNESCO recognized the innovative leadership role that the Iowa Writers Workshop and the International Writing Program have played in fostering creativity through the written word."
As the first university to offer a Master of Fine Arts degree program in creative writing, the University of Iowa has been used as a model for many of the over 300 creative writing programs that now thrive on campuses worldwide. Since 1995 graduates and faculty of the university have won more than 25 Pulitzer Prizes in literature. Authors who have lived, taught and studied in the city include Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Robert Penn Warren, Robert Lowell, Flannery O'Connor, Rita Dove, Jane Smiley, Robert Hass, John Irving, and Marilynne Robinson.
Iowa City is home to eleven literary presses and a range of print and online journals and literary blogs. The highly respected Center for the Book preserves and extends the art of bookmaking. The city has also established a network of university, grassroots, and civic institutions that teach, celebrate, encourage, and study great writing through 180 literary events a year, including readings and panel discussions, and the University of Iowa Nonfiction Writing Program hosts a biennial NonfictioNow Conference that draws participants from around the world.
NEH's $30,000 Chairman's Grant will extend the reach of and encourage use of Iowa City's many literary resources by supporting the production of a series of fifty video interviews with Iowa writers (both resident and visiting) on the craft and process of writing, to be broadcast both on a dedicated website as well as on television and in public spaces such as the Eastern Iowa Airport. These videos will document established and emerging authors' work, philosophy, and processes and highlight Iowa City's City of Literature program as a model of community collaboration that can be replicated across the country.
Iowa City was designated a UNESCO City of Literature in 2008, joining such cities as Edinburgh, Scotland, Dublin, Ireland, Reykjavik, Iceland, Norwich, England, and Melbourne, Australia. It is the only city in the United States to receive this designation.

San Francisco (part 4) – Lombart Street, SF City Hall, Ocean Beach, Japantown & Chinatown
Posted November 11, 2014on:
I went to San Francisco again last October to find a rental apartment prior to my permanent move here. At the same time, my husband had a company event to attend to. So, while he was going to the conferences, I explored San Francisco by myself. During my previous visits to SF, I only went to the famous attractions as recommended by TripAdvisor or travel books. This time, I revisited few of the attractions and went to some local yarn shops (I crochet and I need to know where to get my supply when I move here). For a female traveller, SF is generally a safe city to travel alone. There are parts of the city that you want to avoid. For example, I wanted to go to a yarn store in Mission area. I googled the direction and it gave me the BART station where I should get off and the walking direction to the shop. However, when I searched for the corresponding BART station, a lot of locals give bad reviews about the surroundings of the station (their main complaint was that there were a lot of homeless people and drunk people around the area). This made me uncomfortable since I was really new in the city. Fortunately, there is another alternative to get there without getting off at that sketchy station – although it would take a bit longer. My suggestion is that always do a little research about your destination, especially if it's a bit off where the people usually go.
When we arrived on Friday morning, me and my husband rented a car to go around the city. We already visited Lombard Street in 2007. However, my husband never actually drove on San Francisco's most crookedest street. If you want to drive through the eight sharp turns street, go to Russian Hill area between Hyde St. and Leavenworth St or type this address on your GPS: 1018 Lombard Street, San Francisco, California 94109 (ref). This attraction can be very crowded with lots of tourists buses. If you don't want to drive to the area, you can take Hyde Street cable car to bring you to the upper part of the crooked street. For more information, click here.
Lombard Street
In the evening, we went to San Francisco City Hall. The exterior of this building reminded me of Les Invalides (Napoleon's tomb) in Paris. The present city hall was actually built 2 blocks away from the original building that was ruined during 1906 earthquake. Across the street, there are California Public Utilities Commission headquarter building, San Francisco Opera, and Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall (the home of San Francisco Symphony).

The following day, we decided to explore another side of San Francisco using public transportation. The BART is a rapid transit system connecting the Bay area (north of San Mateo County to San Francisco to East Bay). It has five lines with lots of stations (see here for the list of stations). If you're using smart phone, google map automatically gives you the BART station names whenever you choose the public transit or you can check its official website to plan your trip. The ticket fare is based on the distance you are going to travel, i.e. which station you'll be getting off. There are charts of fee on the ticket vending machines to determine how much you should pay. These vending machines accept cash, debit card, or credit card. If you think buying each ticket for each trip is a hassle, you can buy a Clipper card. Clipper is re-loadable card that you can use time over time by tapping the card to the sensor at the entry gates. This way, you don't have to bother figuring out how much you should pay on your trip. Watch out for the balance of the card every time you scan it on the gate. If you are short of balance prior exiting the station, there will be a vending machine inside to re-fill your card. Clipper card is sold at some BART station and most Walgreens stores.

Kitra Cahana's photographs have received notable recognition, appearing on the front page of the New York Times and winning first place in the 2010 World Press awards. Earlier this year, she was named a TED Fellow. And tonight at ICP, she will be honored with the 2013 Infinity Award for Young Photographer — Cahana is just 25 years old.
Cahana, born in Florida, raised in Sweden and Canada, was introduced to photography at a young age. "I started taking to photography around the age of 12," she told TIME via email. "My father, realizing my interest in art, began giving me assignments to photograph through a positive lens. He would say: 'This month focus on 'joy' or 'compassion' or 'fulfillment.' It began to shape the way I perceived my environment."
After high school, Cahana traveled to Israel and began working professionally as a photographer. She balanced academic studies at Hebrew University with an internship at Ma'ariv, a daily Israeli newspaper, tagging along with the other photojournalists in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
"I went to Gush Katif, the Israeli bloc of settlements, in early summer of 2005. I was 17 and too young for a press pass, so once I was past the military checkpoint, I didn't leave for two and a half months. I wasn't photographing for anyone in particular, but submitted a few images to the EPA wire for consideration."
On the first day of the Israeli Disengagement that year, one of Cahana's photos was used on the front page of the New York Times.
"I realized my ability, recognized my medium, and decided that, as challenging as it is to study and work professionally, I would try."
Cahana returned to her former home, Montreal, to study philosophy at McGill University. There, she came to realize that really seeing issues and maintaining a strong ethical code were equally important aims. Throughout her studies, she periodically took short assignments and internships and devoted her summers to photo projects.
Since taking up photography full-time, Cahana's nomadic way of life has strongly echoed that of her upbringing; her family moved frequently, to communities where her father served as a rabbi.
"My siblings and I spent much of our childhoods traveling with our parents. They kept us in backpacks and kept us asking questions, opening up our sense of the grandeur and complexities of every community we encountered."
Another important family influence was her grandmother, Alice Lok Cahana, an artist and Holocaust survivor whose work, Cahana says, has informed her own vision.
"Her paintings are layered, textured and deeply symbolic. They weave the light with the dark, the broken with the divine. That has always been a quality I strive for in my photographs."
Cahana's earlier work dealt with various themes — Jewish identity, gender identity, spiritual identity.
"In many ways, I came of age by photographing and discovering, learning about myself as I was learning about my subjects."
The one major body of work that Cahana created specifically on assignment was in Austin, Texas, for National Geographic, where she embedded in a suburban high school for two and a half months.
"I'm interested in creating documents that rely as much on the written word as they do on the photographic image. But in order to do that, one really has to embed in others' lives. Within a month and a half of being at the high school in Texas, I had made friends with most cliques."
On and off over the past three years, Cahana has been documenting and living among nomadic youth in America.
"Documenting within the punk nomadic world is different. There, I feel more like I've joined my tribe — a different way of life, but I also feel very much at home there."
Ultimately, Cahana is often drawn to stories about relationships, which are (or become) personal and intertwined with her own history.
For instance, "the Ben Baruchs are a religious Jewish family living in Safed in northern Israel, a town where my father's family lived since the 18th century. They had their own child with Down Syndrome, adopted another, and took in and raised several others with Down Syndrome. The images of their lives follow the evolution of a love story between their own son, Avichai and one of the adopted daughters, Kirin, from their early teenage years to their wedding and the beginning of their home-making together."
This past year Cahana has been living between Ramallah and Jerusalem and working on stories about everyday Israelis and Palestinians who manage to foster relationships with each other.
"I look for stories that are nuanced. I grew up with both extreme right- and left-wing propaganda around me. The rhetoric is exhausting; it makes caricatures of the people living on the land, and excuses corrupt and self-interested leaders."
Recently, Cahana has grappled with a poignant, personal project in Montreal. Two years ago, her father had a brain stem stroke that left him totally paralyzed with the exception of eye movement, but with total cognitive capacity.
"I spent four months living with him in the Neurological Institute in Montreal. He communicated his thoughts through a blinking system, slowly, tenderly communicating whatever he wanted to say. We spent hours each day deep in communication. I documented much of his recovery — his first breath, my sister tending to his atrophying limbs, my mother and father kissing, but the images were not communicating the spiritual transformation we were all going through. I needed to find a different aesthetic vocabulary. The resulting images are just the beginning of this exploration. This work is about the mind's endless search for its body and vice-versa."
"When I was 12, my father would say: 'Focus on the word 'joy' or 'compassion' or 'fulfillment'.' And for a month, I would photograph through a lens of joy or compassion. It forced me to begin practicing each of those attributes, allowing my own inner being to deeply change."
Her father's words have become her mantra. Cahana continues to grow — emotionally, spiritually, artistically. It's difficult to believe she is just 25 years old.
Kitra Cahana is a documentary photographer. In 2013, she was named a TED fellow.

so we all know that hair makes all the difference. if we are having a bad hair day we don't wanna leave the house, right? I'm going to give you some tips on how to NOT have a bad hair day. i am not judging you so do not take offense i'm only telling you these things to HELP you.
- do not expect your hair to be happy if you are using pantene, or any other grocery store shampoo and conditioner. cheap shampoo = bad for your hair. it leaves resido, and a waxy build up, and will definitely weigh your hair down over time. even the professional products sold in grocery stores( be careful), sometimes, most times they are the defect products. i will tell my clients to use a grocery store shampoo when they have dyed black hair and want to strip it out. it makes the color fade super fast.
- do not complain about your hair if you went the cheap route and got a cheap haircut. you get what you pay for. i get so many calls from new clients because they need me to "fix" their bad haircut from _______ ,_______& ______ i won't name the places bc thats not important. but those cheap places want you in and out and don't pay attention to the details. Just think about this when your not wanting to spend the money on a haircut. YOU WEAR YOUR HAIR EVERYDAY. money spent on a haircut is totally worth it. you could start being that person with the HAIR, that everyone talks about. i provide my clients with free bang trims and neck trims to maintain their look a little longer.
- i understand if you are pinching pennies but when it comes to hair try not too. if you want a great color job don't do it yourself, it will fade faster, you most likely will ruin/stain something in the process, waste time, and DAMAGE your hair. the store bought color usually have 20 volume developer, you don't want to keep using that over and over if your just depositing. thats so bad! they have professional products for a reason. i also get a lot of clients who go to dark, or mess up and you end up having to pay way more for corrective color. corrective color usually starts at 100 dollars are there is no guarantee of you walking out with your hair fixed.
i like to reward my clients. they walk around town, people like what they see and end up coming to the salon. so when my clients send me 3 people i provide them with a free haircut. many of my clients don't even have to pay anymore because they just keep sending 3 people before they come in again.
i also like to treat color clients to a deep conditioning treatment from time to time to keep their hair in amazing condition.
***if you have color on your hair check the ingredients on your shampoo and conditioner. use a sulfate free product. sulfate strips color out of the hair.
* if you have highlights don't even think about applying heat to that pretty & delicate hair without a heat protectant. (that's when breakage happens). try moroccan oil on ends then flat iron or curl.
me: Hello?
client: Dont be mad at me!
me: what did you do?
client: my hair is falling out! i tried bleaching it on my own...
Have you ever taken matters into your own hands and screwed it up?
kassi we know you did and it looks great. that is rare.
have you destroyed your hair in someway?
if you have happy hair send us a picture!

There is no such thing as a moral victory. Not when you have 8 wins and 14 losses this season. Not when you have Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire on your team. This was absolutely a game the Knicks could have and should have won. A horrific 2nd quarter performances, lead by Toney Douglas (more on him later), put the Knicks in a hole they could never pull themselves out of. They wasted Stoudemire's best performance of the season. It was Stoudemire's best game by far apart from the fact that he missed a wide open 3 that essentially put the game out of reach. The Knick "bench", who I predicted to score 3 points, scored 6 points tonight and Jeffries was the only guy that did anything remotely well. Toney Douglas has horribly regressed since last season and killed any momentum the Knicks had in the first half. Melo was good but did not play a sharp 4th quarter and the Knicks were unable to pull out the win.
Here are my notes from the game:
- Where do I start? I'll start with your favorite whipping boy and mine. Toney Douglas was absolutely horrible tonight. I cannot even begin to describe the anger that filled my body while watching him attempt to play the point guard position tonight. Whether its running out of bounds under the basket, bad turnovers, stopping dribbles at mid-court, playing bad defense or missing open threes, there is no other way to say it. HE CANNOT PLAY POINT GUARD. At this point I question whether he can play shooting guard remotely well as he did last year. What happened to the Toney Douglas that burned Chris Paul at the Garden last year? He was a nice spark plug off the bench and this year he can't seem to do anything well. It is a shame that Shumpert, who played well, was in foul trouble or Douglas would have ate pine all night. He had no business being on the same court as other NBA players much less Derrick Rose. Rose had Douglas on permanent skates all night defensively. The worst thing Douglas did tonight was kill momentum. He came into the 2nd quarter and helped Chicago extend their lead to 11 at halftime. He came in after the Knicks had gone on a 3rd quarter run to get the lead to 2 and he helped Chicago go on an immediate 6-0 run. Obviously this game cannot all be put on Douglas but he was responsible for most of what the team did wrong. He is the back up POINT GUARD. His job is to be a model of stability not to be the reason for erratic, chaotic, ineffective offensive play. Douglas seemingly has no idea of how to play basketball much less run the point. He can't dribble, can't pass, he takes bad shots and his once solid defense has gone down the toilet. I have no idea what is wrong with him and I do like TD but right now he is killing us. I would rather see Bibby or Lin at this point. And trust me, I know how shitty they are but they are not like this. Douglas was far and away the worst player on the court tonight.
- Amar'e Stoudemire was fantastic tonight until his last shot. With 11 seconds left, D'Antoni drew up a great play for Stoudemire and he missed the game tying 3. Now I understand that he is a power forward and is not a 3 shooter but he has hit that shot before. He is making a max contract. There is no excuse for him to not make that shot. This is not a road game in Detroit. This was Chicago at the garden with the Knicks struggling. These are huge games for the Knicks. Sure they are early season games but they are huge considering the 8-14 hole the Knicks have dug themselves in. Amar'e, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A SUPERSTAR. Superstars hit that shot. He was open, there was no hand in his face, he absolutely should have hit that 3. I love Stoudemire and it was great to see him dominate tonight, and he was dominant, but there is no excuse for missing that shot. D'Antoni got him a great look in his favorite spot outside the arc and Stoudemire just missed. That is a shot he HAS to make. He is one of the leaders and stars on this team and him missing that shot when the team is 8-14 is unacceptable.
- Carmelo Anthony is also deserving of some criticism. Why Melo? Why do you put your head down into traffic and drive in the 4th quarter when your jump shot was money all night? I understand he should get to the rim. I do not fault him for trying. He has to be smart though. The officials were absolutely horrible tonight. They were giving the Knicks 0 calls and gave the Bulls almost all of them. You are not going to get a call there Carmelo! It is not going to happen. Pull up and shoot the damn mid-range. That is your bread and butter, why drive into a stout Bulls post-defense when you no longer posses the leaping ability to poster people like you could in the Olympics a few years ago. Melo is a clutch 4th quarter player, maybe the most clutch in the game, but he wasn't tonight. He had a LeBron game tonight. I can't believe I am saying that and upon reflection I may feel different tomorrow but Melo played 3 great quarters and 1 very mediocre 4th quarter. I thought he should have looked for Stoudemire more late in the 4th. the Knicks are Melo's team but when Amar'e is on fire like he was tonight you HAVE to ride the hot hand. This was not a game the Knicks should have lost. Obviously the blame has to go around but Melo has to be better in the 4th quarter. I am not worried because he is one of the most clutch in the game but tonight I thought was a poor 4th quarter showing by Melo.
- In my pre-game, I predicted the Knicks "bench" to score 3 points tonight. They scored 6. All 6 were by Toney Douglas and it took him 8 shots and 3 turnovers to get there. The rest of the "bench", Jeffries, Walker and Balkman, scored 0 points. That is completely pathetic and unacceptable. The Bulls did not even guard Balkman when he was in the game and when he drove to the hoop he twice dropped the ball like the thing was covered in butter. Walker came in and did absolutely nothing. Jeffries was scoreless but scoring is not his role. Unlike Balkman who has no role, Jeffries is in the game for his defensive prowess. He is not asked to score and really does not have the ability to score. I will give Jeffries a pass for not scoring but Walker and Douglas cannot be spared. Despite by obvious distain for Walker, he was absolutely useless tonight. He can't defend anyways and he had a foul and a turnover in 9 minutes. He missed his only 3. I have already harped on Douglas but I may as well keep harping. Not only did Douglas suck but his inability to do anything well made other people worse! He did not get anybody the ball with any space, he barely got Amar'e or Melo the ball. He flat out sucked and the bench flat out sucked. They got outscored by a wildly mediocre bench 25-6. That was the difference in the game.
- Two guys I thought were great tonight were Landry Fields and Tyson Chandler. Fields, who I have preached patience with since the beginning of the year, was absolutely fantastic tonight. He finally has found his long lost shooting stroke, going 3/5 from downtown and 7/10 overall. He had a bit of trouble chasing the Ashton Kutcher clone around the floor early in the game but apart from that I thought his defense was solid. Offensively he was efficient and effective tonight scoring 17 points including a bank shot layup that gave the Knicks a chance in the final minute. He finished with 17 points and 4 rebounds. As always, Tyson Chandler was very good tonight. He was hindered a little bit early with foul trouble brought on by the poor officiating and pathetic flopping by Joakim Noah. Talk about an annoying, arrogant, fool. Joakim Noah is the epitome of what people hate about the NBA. He flops. He yells. He presents himself like a homeless person and he seemingly has never been to a dentist. Noah is a good player but his style of play is exactly what NBA officials are supposed to punish this year. Instead, the boneheaded officials gave Noah every call when he would flop like Derrick Fisher or Reggie Miller. The officiating was bad and did hinder Chandler a bit tonight but I still thought he played an excellent game.
- I hope Charles Oakley finds Reggie Miller and kicks the shit out of him. Miller was his usual Knick hating self all night. At one point Miller gave his "season report card" for the Knicks and had their defense graded with a D. The Knicks are ranked 11th this season in defensive efficiency and 16th in points allowed. They also are 4th in defensive rebound rate. Miller then later thanked his co-announcer, Kevin Harlan, for holding him back while Charles Oakley walked by. As if Miller would go after Oakley. Get the fuck out of here Miller. You are a scrawny punk. Oakley could snap Reggie Miller's neck with 3 fingers if he wanted to. Miller always has been and always will be all talk and I absolutely hate that TNT continues to give Miller paychecks to pay off his ex-wife. Yea this guy would kick Charles Oakley's ass:
- Last but not least, I believe that Mike D'Antoni coached his best game of the season. Apart from sticking Renaldo Butterhands into the game at all, I thought he coached a good game. I do not fault him for all for going to Stoudemire late in the game. He drew up a great play that got Stoudemire an open look in his favorite three-point spot. That is a shot Amar'e has hit multiple times as a Knick and he should have hit it again. D'Antoni's offense was very good tonight, except for the Toney Douglas run 2nd quarter. They utilized both Chandler AND Amar'e in the pick and roll which was great to see and I thought the spacing was very good tonight. If James Dolan had half a brain, which he doesn't, he would see how well the Knicks played tonight and that D'Antoni can get this team playing well. Obviously it was only one game and the team lost to a team missing 2 starters but I think tonight was a decent sign for the Knicks. I don't believe in moral victories but the Knicks needed to prove to themselves they could play better and Stoudemire needed to prove to himself and the fans that he could still dominate. He isn't all the way back but he was very good tonight and I think a lot of the credit has to go to the embattled Knick coach. Say what you want about D'Antoni but that team played hard for him tonight. He can get the job done. I know D'Antoni isn't a hall of fame point guard and doesn't sexually harass team executives, but he is the right coach for this team at this point in time. Obviously if Phil comes calling then that change must be made but right now there is no coach who will be any better for this club than D'Antoni.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry insisted on Tuesday there was a "diplomatic path" to be forged with Iran on its disputed nuclear programme, as world powers and Tehran held crunch talks.
"There is a diplomatic path," said Kerry after meeting his German counterpart Guido Westerwelle in Berlin.
He expressed his "hope" that "Iran itself will make its choice to move down the path of a diplomatic solution."
The five permanent UN Security Council members and Germany -- the so-called P5+1 -- are meeting the Iranian team headed by top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili in Kazakhstan in a bid to break the deadlock over Iran's programme.
Kerry said it "would really be a mistake in the middle of the talks for me to try to talk at any length about what the dynamics of those talks are."
"I want these talks to have their chance to work through before I comment," added the secretary.
Nevertheless, he urged Tehran to accept the offer of western powers, saying they included "reciprocal measures that encourage Iran to make concrete steps in order to begin addressing the international community's concerns."
The world powers are offering Iran permission to resume its gold and precious metals trade as well as some international banking activity which are currently under sanctions, Western officials told AFP.
But in exchange, Iran will have to limit sensitive uranium enrichment operations that the world powers fear could be used to make a nuclear bomb, the sources added.
The two-day meeting in the Kazakh city of Almaty comes as sanctions bite against the Islamic republic and Israel still refuses to rule out air strikes to knock out Iran's suspected nuclear weapons drive.
Westerwelle for his part said the talks were "an opportunity that I really hope the Iranians will take."
"Our goal is a diplomatic solution in the nuclear argument with Iran but there must be substantial progress because a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable to us," added the minister.
"It would endanger not only the region but it would be a danger for the security architecture of the whole world."

Ten conservators worked on the Lutyens cathedral model during the lifetime of this mammoth project. Several were brought in for specific aspects of work due to their particular areas of expertise. Towards the end of the project, in December 2005, all ten of the conservators were reunited in the conservation studio.
Geoff Liggett, Emlyn Davies and Karen Wilson established the early working methods. Ken Rylands a peerless craftsman built the lantern, belfries and spires. David Parsons completed the nave and created the statues. Bernie Morgan and John Whitehead crafted the sanctuary and high altar. Suzanne Ross and Judith Hodges worked on the painted surfaces. Chris Moseley planned and led the project from start to finish, producing detailed working drawings where none existed.

If you would like to search by wine name, please enter either the whole or partial name in the "Wine Name" field. For example, if you wanted to see all the Falesco Montiano we have in stock, simply enter "Falesco Montiano" in the "Wine Name" field. If you are looking for a particular vintage, say 2000, simply add "2000" to the "Vintage From"
field. If you are looking for a vintage range, simply add the oldest vintage in the range in the "Vintage From" field, and the most recent year of the desired range in the "Vintage To" field. If you would like to explore particular categories of wine, simply leave the "Wine Name field blank, and choose the category from the drop-down field. You can then narrow the search down by vintage, price range, or bottle size. If you would like to explore wines of any type in a particular vintage or vintage range, simply leave the "Wine Name" field blank and the category unselected, and enter the appropriate vintage or vintage range. The same principal holds with price and bottle size.

This time of year, your calendar is likely to be full of holiday parties, office gatherings, cookie exchanges and family meals. The common theme of any of these events is delicious desserts, which are usually loaded with added sugars and unhealthy fats. Take control this holiday season, and experiment with these healthful baking tips to benefit yourself and your loved ones.
The U.S. Agriculture Department labels solid fats and added sugars as empty calories, and recommends that these make up no more than 15 percent of your diet. However, most Americans consume about 35 percent of their calories from these empty calorie sources.
What are solid fats?
Solid fats are fats that are solid at room temperature (i.e. butter and shortening). Most are high in saturated fats or trans fats, which tend to raise "bad" LDL cholesterol levels and increase the risk for heart disease.
What are added sugars?
According to the USDA, added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages when they are processed or prepared. This includes white granulated sugar, brown sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, raw sugar, honey and maple syrup. This does not include naturally occurring sugars such as those in milk and fruits.
So, the overall goal for healthful baking is to reduce the empty calories from added sugars and solid fats and replace them with more healthful ingredients. Besides, most recipes call for more sugar and fat than are actually needed for decadent flavor. To preserve the flavor of your recipes, the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends reducing the sugar and fat by 25 percent to 33 percent.
Healthful baking tips
– When reducing sugar in your recipes, be sure to add spices for flavor. Try cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, vanilla bean or pumpkin pie spice.
– Instead of solid fats such as butter and shortening, go for vegetable oils such as canola oil for less saturated and trans fat. Even better, unsweetened applesauce can replace half the oil in your recipe to help cut down on overall fat. The applesauce also adds natural sweetness and fiber. Canned pumpkin or sweet potato puree can also be used as a substitute for these solid fats while also offering health benefits from vitamins A and C.
– Swap frosting for fruit slices or pureed fruit – nature's candy!
– Add unsweetened dried fruits such as raisins for added fiber and natural sweetness.
– Add heart-healthy raw, unsalted nut pieces for added crunch and flavor. Try incorporating nut butters into your recipes for added protein.
– Replace one whole egg with two egg whites to reduce cholesterol. Or, you can skip eggs altogether and combine 1 tablespoon of heart-healthy ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water.
– Try using evaporated skim milk instead of heavy cream.
– Use whole-grain flours instead of refined white flours for additional fiber and nutrients.
– Consider using agave nectar instead of sugar. Agave syrup has fewer calories but is also sweeter, so you only need half to three-quarters as much.
– Use dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa, which offers flavonoids, a healthy antioxidant. I recommend using mini chips, which allow you to use less overall chocolate but still provide a bit of flavor in each bite. Unsweetened cocoa powder is great for adding chocolate flavor without a lot of calories or fat: 1 tablespoon contains approximately 15 calories and 1.5 grams of fat (and zero cholesterol or sugar).
Healthful baking rule of thumb
When it comes to lightening up your recipes, start by making small changes and never change a major ingredient. If you have a family recipe that is filled with special meaning, then you might not want to do anything too radical. Evaluate each recipe on a case-by-case basis and have fun experimenting with these more healthful options.
And, when the baking is done, pay attention to the portion size of the desserts you consume: No food is a "bad food" when enjoyed in moderation. Portion size is particularly important when it comes to high-calorie foods such as cakes, brownies, tarts, cupcakes, cookies and pies. Set yourself up for success by taking a smaller piece of pie or one less cookie. You can still savor every bite and feel just as satisfied.
Spiced Apple Cake, 16 servings
Health education specialist Elaine Gordon reviewed many standard spiced apple cake recipes and came up with this healthful version, which also happens to be vegan and gluten-free.
Applesauce, apples, raisins and agave syrup provide most of the sweetness, and replacing eggs with flaxseed meal cuts down on cholesterol. Adapted from a recipe by Elaine Gordon, creator of the healthful-recipe site Eatingbyelaine.com and director of health management solutions at LiveHealthier.
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
1/2 cup plus 4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup light agave syrup
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup raw, unsalted walnut pieces
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 cup almond meal
1 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round springform pan with canola oil spray.
Chop 2 1/2 of the three peeled apples into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut the remaining half of the apple into paper-thin half-moon slices and reserve for topping the cake, if desired.
Combine the ground flaxseed with the 4 tablespoons of the almond milk in a large bowl and mix well, then add the chopped apples, agave syrup, canola oil, vanilla extract, applesauce and the remaining 1/2 cup of almond milk; mix well.
Combine the walnuts, raisins, almond meal, brown rice flour, brown sugar, sea salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a separate bowl.
Slowly stir the walnut mixture into the apple mixture; once they are well incorporated, pour into the pan. Bake for 40 minutes, then, if using, carefully arrange the reserved apple slices in a fanned-out pattern on top of the cake. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until the cake does not wobble at the center when gently shaken and the edges have started to brown and pull away from the sides of the pan.
Let the cake rest for 10 minutes before releasing it from the springform pan.

Willamette's English Department teaches the twinned arts of reading and writing, of making and paying close and concerned attention to literary texts. English students participate in literary culture as critics, theorists, historians, and writers. In literature courses, they learn to fashion nuanced interpretative arguments; in creative writing courses, they craft poems, stories, essays, scripts, and songs. Literary studies addresses the breadth of human experience and the need for a thoughtful experience of the world including the metaphorical underpinnings of identity, the various dimensions of aesthetic creation, and the ways that language and literature may reflect a given society's values, justify a status quo, or imagine a more just world.
The study of literature
English majors approach the study of literature from a variety of historical and methodological perspectives. Courses may address the formal textures of a literary work, its role within a culture or historical period, specific genres ranging from lyric poetry to science fiction, the achievement of a major author, age, or movement, the practices of literary and cultural theory, the politics of interpretation and canonization, and the methods of literary scholarship. English classes are discussion-based and encourage collaboration and active learning. English faculty members also participate in interdisciplinary programs including American Ethnic Studies, Film Studies, and Women's and Gender Studies. Some of the courses in these programs may be taken as part of the English major. Students can also earn English credit while studying abroad.
The major commences with English 201 and English 202, which introduce students to close reading and literary theory. Majors take courses that focus on literature from different time periods and cultures, but devise a course of study that reflects their own intellectual interests. The Senior Experience—a self-defined Independent Study project, or an English or Humanities Seminar—completes the major.
Beyond the major
The Department offers minors in English and Writing, as well as a number of courses that satisfy Willamette's general education requirements. The Department promotes Willamette's writing culture by stressing composition in all of its courses. Our faculty and students work closely with the Writing Center. And the Department sponsors writing workshops, the campus-wide Mark and Melody Teppola Prizes for Creative Writing, and readings and lectures by scholars and writers visiting campus in conjunction with classes and through the Hallie Ford Literary Series.
Preparing our students for a variety of careers:
- teaching
- publishing
- journalism
- new media
- public advocacy
- law
English students develop the skills of close reading, analytical thinking, careful research, and clarity and sophistication in communication. Of equal importance, our students cultivate habits and discover forms of knowledge—an appreciation for the distinctive qualities of imaginative literature, a capacity for self-expression, a sense of historical contingency, an awareness of literature as a force of power—that make life rich and meaningful.

This Buddha image has a lap measurement at 9.55 metres and height at 12.45 metres. This is one of the biggest Buddha image in Thailand. It was assumed to be built during the Ayuttaya Era of King Srongtam. The King transferred the location from the east side to the west side which has been the location since then. After that the King ordered to build a dome on top.However, in the era of King Suer, a thunderbolt struck at the tip of the dome which causes damage to the dome. The King ordered to restore the dome and change the roof of the dome to a cathedral and the top of Pra Mongkolborpit was extended during the reign of King Barommakote. During the 2nd fall of Ayuttaya, Viharn Pra Mongkolborpit was ruined by the enemy. After that King Rama 5 ordered to restore this viharn again in the Ayuttaya architectural style. It is a good model of the Buddha image during the end of Ayuttaya reign. Originally, the east side of the viharn is Sanam Luang, which was used for the cremation ceremony of the Kings and the royalties same as the Sanam Luang in Bangkok.Viharn Pramongkolborpit is opened on from 8 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends and public holidays. The tourists can visit Wat Prasrisanpetch or visit both temples via riding on elephants from Wang Chang Ayuttaya.
