    NEWS RELEASE Award-Winning Food Authority and Public Radio Host to Speak in Des Moines Date: Monday, February 27, 2012 Category: Press Release February 27, 2012 (Des Moines, IA) — Iowa Public Radio welcomes Lynne Rossetto Kasper, author and host of American Public Media’s The Splendid Table, to Des Moines on Monday, March 5, 2012 at the Principal Financial Group Auditorium. Rossetto Kasper will bring her characteristic charm and passion for everything food related to a presentation designed to please audible palates. She will also discuss her latest book, The Splendid Table's How to Eat Weekends, which was released in September 2011. Lynne Rossetto Kasper has won numerous awards as host of APM’s The Splendid Table, including two James Beard Foundation Awards for Best National Radio Show on Food, four Clarion Awards from Women in Communication and a Gracie Allen Award for Best Syndicated Talk Show. Lynne is a respected authority on food, having published three bestselling books: The Splendid Table, The Italian Country Table, and The Splendid Table's How To Eat Supper, which was co-authored with show producer Sally Swift in 2008. The Splendid Table began as a live, Saturday-morning call-in show on Minnesota Public Radio seventeen years ago. As the program's popularity continued to stretch across the nation, The Splendid Table eventually became the pre-recorded program that now airs on more than 290 public radio stations in the United States, plus SIRIUS satellite radio and World Radio Switzerland.

In the context of the many fights and impasses over spending that have defined this Congress, higher education advocates welcomed funding for priorities such as the Pell Grant program, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation. Less rosy is the outlook for FY 2013, when automatic across-the- board budget cuts are set to kick in as a result of the failure of the so-called supercommittee to reach a deficit-reducing deal. For more information, see Federal Relations. Features FEATURE: If dictators who torture, kill, or otherwise abuse their citizens' human rights are overthrown, should they be brought to trial? On one hand, convicting and punishing an ex-dictator would strike a welcome blow for justice in countries where it has been denied. On the other hand, trials may open old wounds and even encourage dictators to hang onto power just to avoid prosecution.
