SCSU Now
A new wind at our backs
Friday, September 19, 2008
The rituals were regal. The musical performances were majestic.
There were tears. There was laughter. But, above all, there were calls for a renewed commitment to community.
The Sept. 19 inauguration of Earl H. Potter III as president of St. Cloud State University celebrated the presence in St. Cloud of a new force, a new "wind at our backs," who is inspiring campus and community to a higher level of service and new era of progress.
An estimated 850 people in Halenbeck Hall gymnasium saw Potter invested as the 22nd president of St. Cloud State. Joseph Edelheit first raised the banner of community in his invocation.
"We are joined together as teachers, learners, university staff, citizens -- all of whom affirm, by their presence, that St. Cloud State University has one creed: unconditional inclusivity," said Edelheit, director of religious studies and professor of philosophy. "I am humbled to be asked to invoke this gathering, our symphony of differences."
Carrying the community theme forward was keynote speaker Constantine "Deno" Curris, who described how public education has played a leading role in building communities throughout the history of the Republic.
"We are here to support the common weal. We believe in access and affordability. We open the portals of opportunity, not only for individuals, but for all American classes and for immigrant groups," said Curris, president of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.
St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis, a 1989 graduate, detailed the university's $370 million annual economic impact on the region, drew laughter with a story about his unsuccessful mayoral candidacy as a student, and praised city-campus cooperation.
"The community connection is so important," Kleis said. "We're at a crossroads in this area and Earl has been a wonderful partner in this community, in this city."
Among the more high-profile partnerships Potter has pursued is the 5th Avenue Live project, which promises to transform the Southside-University thoroughfare into the city's premier boulevard. Anchoring the south end will be the renovated National Hockey Center, now expected to cost $29.1 million. On the north end will be a renovated and expanded Civic Center. Potter acknowledged Dan and Mabel Coborn, of the Coborn's, Inc. grocery chain, for their role in the project. The commercial center of the project is proposed for the former site of a Coborn's grocery at Fifth Avenue and Ramsey Place.
Potter's take on community -- his chief focus since coming to campus fourteen months ago -- was transcendent.
"We are not the ivory tower or a separate town," Potter said. "We are a university community that educates students by example, to engage in an active life as part of this community."
Potter, who shared in the ceremony with his wife, Christine, and four children, concluded his remarks with a simple, yet heartfelt, benediction.
"I love this place and I'm proud to be leading St. Cloud State University. Thank you all for coming. May a hopeful vision lead you forward and may the wind be always at your back."

Qimonda AG, a struggling maker of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), said it would should down Qimonda memory plant in Richmond, Virginia without paying severance to employees. Meanwhile, an official for the European Union said he saw no reasons in helping Qimonda, which raises questions whether the company can continue production in Europe.
"The company has made the decision to ramp down all production in Qimonda Richmond. Currently, we are completing wafer testing but do not expect to continue manufacturing beyond that. During the ramp down process, tools and equipment will be brought to a "safe" state and idled. This action will affect all employees at the facility. The shut down will be extremely fast. We expect about 500 people to leave the company today and tomorrow, and another 500 will leave over the next 30 days. Once we reach an idle state at the end of April, we expect to have only 50-60 people remain as a skeleton crew," said Miriam Martinez, president and chief financial officer of Qimonda North America, in an internal memo published by Barron's online.
Mr. Martinez added that Qimonda was not in position to pay compensations to employees and did not outline any plans to save jobs.
Separately, European authorities do not seem to want to help Qimonda to get through the tough times.
"Nobody can save a company whose owner does not want to save it. If a company no longer believes in a location, then the die is cast in a free market economy," said European Union Industry Commissioner Guenter Verheugen in an interview with Saechsische Zeitung news-paper published in Dresden, Germany, reports Reuters news-agency.
Mr. Verheugen implied that even Infineon, which controls Qimonda, did not provide its help in time to the struggling DRAM manufacturer and added that public subsidies must not be spent in order to bail out companies.
The claim raises questions whether Qimonda, which proclaimed itself insolvent, will be able to continue manufacturing memory in its plants in Germany and Portugal without cash.

by John MacArthur
Believers often find themselves living in contradiction to the world, and we should. The runaway anxiety and constant fear that grips so much of the world does not have the same hold on us—or at least, it shouldn't. Over the last few weeks, we've been looking at anxiety from a biblical perspective, and examining God's care and provision for His people, and how that should free us from worry.
Today we're bringing our Attacking Anxiety series to a close with part three of our discussion on Paul's prayer that we would know and rest in God's lasting peace and grace. The apostle wrote, "May the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. . . . The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you" (2 Thessalonians 3:16, 18).
A final characteristic of God's peace is that it is not subject to circumstances. Paul's prayer was that we might continually enjoy it "in every circumstance" (v. 16). This peace is not subject to anything that happens in the worldly realm. It is not built on any human relationship, and it's not dependent on human feelings, decisions, or situations.
Rather, God's peace is built on a divine plan and promise from an unfailing God who will secure you in Himself, and who will do everything for your good. This peace is a product of an unchanging divine relationship, and it is unbreakable, unassailable, and transcendent.
As we noted earlier, Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful" (John 14:27). He was saying, "There's nothing to fear or be anxious about because I'm giving you a divine, lasting peace that cannot be fractured or damaged by the world." We demonstrate that Jesus keeps His promises when, in the midst of worldly upheavals that would normally tear us up and trouble our lives, we remain calm.
Paul's great desire was that we enjoy that kind of well-being, which is why he prayed toward that end. His parting wish was this: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all" (2 Thessalonians 3:18). He wanted every man and woman who would ever put his or her faith in Christ to experience the abiding presence of God's grace.
Grace is God's goodness or benevolence given to those who don't deserve it. "Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ" (John 1:17). It was in the person of God's Son that "the grace of God has appeared," making salvation available to all (Titus 2:11). Once we embrace this saving grace through faith in Christ, we are blessed with God's grace, enabling us to withstand any difficulty that would tend to make us anxious. Paul described this grace while confessing to a difficulty that brought him great anxiety:
There was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me. . . . Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)
There was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me. . . . Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)
As believers, we also are blessed with the grace that equips us for divine service. Paul expressed his appreciation for this grace in saying, "I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy . . . the grace of our Lord was more than abundant" (1 Timothy 1:12-14).
Grace is what enables us to grow spiritually in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). In the material realm, Paul appealed to God's grace in encouraging the Corinthian church to be generous in giving to the Lord's work: "God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed" (2 Corinthians 9:8).
God's grace saves us, helps us cope with our anxieties, equips us for service, and enables us to grow spiritually and to be rich in God. Like God's peace, it is always available, and there is no limit to it. And again, like God's peace, the conditions for receiving it are trusting God, forsaking sin, enduring the refining process, doing good, and living by the Word. As we are what we ought to be, God infuses us with His peace and grace. And that has a wonderful way of crowding out anxiety.
I want to close this series on a personal note. Just a few days after preaching a sermon on the peace and grace God bestows on His people, I had an unprecedented opportunity to apply it to my own life: I was notified that my wife and youngest daughter were in a serious auto accident, and that my wife, Patricia, would probably die. Everything seemed like a blur to me, the details frustratingly sketchy—I was afraid she was already dead. During my hour-long drive to the hospital, I had a lot of time to reflect on the severity of the situation. Yet I experienced a deep and steeled peace simply because I knew God had not failed me—His grace was in complete control.
I am happy to report that God spared both their lives, and that Patricia recovered beautifully. If you too rely on God's grace, He will see you through the most difficult trials.

Pastor John,
Thank you for this series. I am being tried heavily by my LORD and I have a difficult time with letting the understanding belong to my LORD. I was recently un-biblically divorced and forsaken by my wife of 22 years, suddenly unemployed now for 11 months, home was sold with no profit, my mother passed away, I live in a motel on credit because I had no resources to access when my wife suddenly banished me, the Church that I thought was biblical did nothing to confront this divorce even though I am a deacon. I am really struggling with these Job-like events. I am trying to acquire a job, but I am told I am too overqualified, I really think it is my age of 56 (age discrimination). The only bright point in these circumstances is the Church I am now attending, College Park Church in Indianapolis. I experientially know how biblical churches gradually become lukewarm and apostate as my former one has proven. I do not like being in credit card debt, but I had no choice. Hopefully my LORD will provide a job soon, but in the mean time I look and hope in HIM, I have no other means. Please pray for me that I can withstand the anxiety that prevails at times in this storm. I have had counsel with the pastoral and elder staff at College Park Church and they have prayed over me, but nothing has visibly improved since April 2012. I am an apparent Job without the health issues yet. I believe I am one of the previews of normalcy for this abomin-Nation. I just hope I can survive it in my LORD's sovereign mercy and grace.
Thanks again
Gary L. Fennimore

"Let no one say when he is tempted, I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death."
Proverbs 13:15
I am thankful for the book,Anxious for Nothing. It was three years ago that I read it for the first time. I was quite shocked to read that it is a sin to God to be anxious, fearful etc. Dealing with these thoughts and feelings right away has given me such joy. I love that God is near when I draw near to Him. I also want to say thank you for todays study on discipline. These thought brought out in Rom 12 have been going over in my mind. I've been drawn to an author by the name of Chris Hedges, who, through his writings brings out the way that self discipline brings freedom to one's life. This is from an unbelievers perspective, but good nontheless. He mentions how we can have the illusion of being free, but really we are slaves to the culture. Thank you for this study, Brick by Brick. Linda
Gary, I prayed for you after reading your comment. I am about the same age as you & have also gone through some trying times these past couple of years. God will work out our trials to our good and His Glory. I would like that to be soon, but He will accomplish His good work in His own timing and in His own ways. May the LORD grant you peace in all your hardships. God bless you
Take heart brother Gary.
I hope you understand my saying, because i write to you from France.
I want you to know our Lord do not forsake and never abbandon his own.
Despite tribulations you are passing trough, His love and His mercy never fail.
I give you this verse from Our Lord Jésus-Christ, i receive them tonigh for my own life.

Shortly after Darin and Dorene Moore finished their big Thanksgiving family dinner, they got to work.
For the next few hours, they feverishly cleaned, leaving the windows wide-open to rid the house of turkey and dressing odors.
"We put on our mittens and scrubbed everything down," Darin said.
They had little choice: Prospective buyers were coming the next day to look at their house.
While the rest of the world is shopping, traveling and hosting holiday gatherings, the Moores and other central Ohioans are buying and selling homes.
And although that adds a level of stress to an already hectic season, it can have some advantages, experts say.
The housing market slows dramatically during the holidays, but the buyers and sellers remaining in the game are unusually motivated.
"Activity is quite a bit less this time of year. But, on the other hand, buyers are very high-quality buyers or they wouldn't be out there. They've got to find something; they're not just kicking tires," said Virgil Mathias, a veteran Coldwell Banker King Thompson agent who just listed three homes in the Dublin-Powell area.
"It's quality vs. quantity."
But it also means buyers must be ready to skip the holiday parties to visit new listings, and sellers must keep all the presents and decorations tidy for last-minute showings.
"I tell clients: 'You've got to live here and go through the holidays, and you've got to be ready to show your house Christmas Eve if needed,' " said Mike Whiteman, an agent for RE/MAX Achievers who is representing the Moores.
Darin and Dorene Moore didn't choose for real estate to be part of their Christmas activities. But they came across a house they loved and didn't want to risk waiting.
"We wanted to avoid the holidays," Darin Moore said. "We didn't want to mess with having a house on the market during snowstorms and during Christmas."
The Moores went ahead and decorated — lightly — and make a point of tidying up the house nightly.
"We're living clean for the first time in years," joked Darin, who had gifts delivered to his office to avoid cluttering the house.
Scott and Maria Seaman also decided to list their Dublin home a few weeks ago after finding a home to buy sooner than they expected.
"If we'd chosen, we wouldn't have chosen this time," Scott Seaman said.
"We'll keep the holiday lower-key. With Thanksgiving being late, the whole holiday season's condensed already. The kids are in school, my wife's coordinating their school parties, the whole nine yards, so just keeping it balanced is the thing."
A few weeks after listing the home, the Seamans found a buyer, so they spent much of the holiday season packing for a move.
When the weather cools, so does the housing market.
The slowest month for home sales in central Ohio is January, reflecting contracts signed in the holiday months of November and December. Sales drop 25 to 50 percent between October and January. Last January, for example, 1,374 central Ohio homes changed hands, compared with 2,005 three months earlier.
Not surprisingly, families especially tend to exit the market during the holidays.
"People who are looking for homes during the holidays tend to be first-time buyers and people without kids," said Paula Koontz-Gilmour, a Coldwell Banker King Thompson agent in Upper Arlington. "People with kids wait for the holidays to end."
Those who are in the housing market are there by necessity.
"It's usually a job transfer or a situation where they have to sell," Koontz-Gilmour said.
She is representing Cindy and Jason Smith, who are being transferred from Chicago to Columbus for Jason's job. The couple are showing their Chicago home while traveling to Columbus on weekends to tour homes here.
With an 18-month-old, they were determined not to skip holiday festivities.
"I decorated with a smaller tree, and we didn't put up a lot of stuff, but I definitely decorated," Cindy Smith said. "We're living here, so we would be very sad not to."
Sellers such as the Smiths have an incentive to sell, which can be an advantage to buyers.
"From a buyer's standpoint, you're seeing inventory lower right around the holidays and the winter months, but those homes on the market have a need to sell," said Brandon Prewitt, an agent with RE/MAX Metro Plus in Downtown Columbus.
"You don't find sellers putting their home on the market in November or December to see if it will sell. There's usually a need there, so sellers might be more motivated."
There's another slight plus to buying a home during the holidays: Business for lenders, appraisers and title companies is slow during the holidays, which could result in a quicker transaction.
Mathias advised his latest clients to put their homes on the market in December, in part to get a jump-start on January, when the luxury market heats up with job transfers.
"We're ready to hit the streets in January because we're a relocation market in Dublin and Powell and a lot of people move after the holidays," he said. "We have time for a couple of showings."
Mathias likes showing homes during the holiday season for another reason: They often look nice.
"The (decorated) home will be at its peak for warmth. It's never going to look better."

Stocks Fall as Republican Leader Loses Control of His Party
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages fell Friday, dragged down by House Speaker John Boehner's failure to get Republicans to follow his back-up plan on the so-called fiscal cliff.
Boehner, undone by more extreme members of his party, canceled a Thursday night vote on his "Plan B" budget proposal because he didn't have enough votes to get the measure passed.
The top Republican in the House indicated at a news conference Friday that he was still open to continued negotiations with the White House, and wasn't ruling out bringing up a bill that could pass with a significant amount of Democratic votes. Meanwhile, he reiterated the difficulties of bridging the political divide, a sentiment that stuck with most investors.
"We had a number of our members who really just didn't want to be perceived as having raised taxes; that was the real issue," Boehner said.
The news outweighed upbeat durable goods, and personal income and spending reports on Friday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 121 points, or 0.91%, to 13,191. The blue-chip index, which had suffered its biggest loss since Nov. 14 as it slumped to an intraday low of 13,122.53, began the session up more than 8% in 2012. It closed higher for the week, up 0.43%.
Losers trumped winners on the Dow 28 to two. The most prominent decliners were Bank of America (BAC) , Walt Disney (DIS) , Caterpillar(CAT) and Exxon(XOM) .
American Express (AXP) and McDonald's (MCD) were the only blue chips that finished with gains on Friday.
The S&P 500 fell 14 points, or 0.94%, to 1,430. Despite Friday's losses, the S&P tacked on 1.17% for the week. The Nasdaq shrank 29 points, or 0.96%, to 3,021. The tech-heavy index suffered its largest one-day drop since Nov. 7 at its intraday low of 2,995. It gained 1.67% on the week.
All sectors in the broader index retreated, with the utilities sector holding up better than others. The biggest losers included technology, financials, consumer non-cylicals and energy.
Decliners eclipsed advancers by a ratio of 2-to-1 on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq.
At final check, volumes totaled 4.84 billion shares on the NYSE and 2.62 billion shares on the Nasdaq. At the open Friday, volumes swelled to more than 3.63 billion shares at the Big Board and 1.67 billion shares on the Nasdaq, with Friday being a "quadruple witching" options-expiration day.
"Simply put, this is bad news for the speaker and bad news for any future cliff-averting deal," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG. "A bunch of people have asked, 'Now what?' Unfortunately, the simple answer is that nobody knows."
Greenhaus said it seems the most likely option now is for President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to construct a bill in the Senate. He said that while a bill in the Senate could pass, the question is whether it could get enough Democratic votes in the House to compensate for the defecting Republicans.

Selected Speeches
Speech Video
At the International Court of Justice
The Hague, The Netherlands
31 October 2006
Madam President,
Members of the Court,
Thank you for your kind welcome. Rania and I appreciate your gracious words. It is an honour to be with you today.
The great Muslim historian, ibn Khaldoun, wrote: "The office of judge holds a place with God to which nothing else compares." His words reflect Islam's profound respect for the role of the court in a just and righteous human society. Today, this court's incomparable leadership on behalf of global justice, your dedication to bringing the benefits of the rule of law to world affairs, your high standards of integrity have given hope to millions of people. We in Jordan are especially proud that our esteemed jurist, your Vice-President, Awn Al Khasawneh, shares in the Court's great enterprise. Members of the Court, Madam President, on behalf of all Jordanians, I thank you all for your labours, your integrity, your courage and your wisdom.
Madam President,
Here at The Hague, in 1899, the modern world set its sights on bringing the rule of law to international affairs. In the decades that have followed - through years of war and peace, crisis and opportunity - the rule of law has slowly moved forward. Today, this honourable Court carries the vision into the 21st century: an international legal order, in the service of justice and peace.
It is a mission, may I say, that is ever more relevant to our global times. The global impact of regional conflict, the worldwide reach of economic shocks and trends, the inter-regional flows of people and ideas and the whole-earth reality of environmental problems and health concerns: in these and many other ways, our nations are sharing current events and will share the world's future. How well we succeed depends on our cooperation and coordination. And nothing is more important to that effort than a practicing, just international legal order.
Madam President,
Jordan has made a clear commitment to the cause of international peace and legality. That commitment is attested to in our respect for this Court, our good faith in Treaty obligations, our support for United Nations conventions and international legal instruments, and our active role in human rights, including our strong national program.
In these commitments, we are guided by our Arab-Islamic legal heritage. Madam President, you have spoken today of Islam's pioneering contributions to the growth of global law and justice. Indeed, for Muslims, global good citizenship - justice and integrity in the dealings among people, regardless of faith, race or nationality - is a cornerstone of a righteous life. In the Holy Quran it is written: "Be just - that is closer to piety." And: "So give full measure and full weight and wrong not mankind in their goods, and work not confusion in the earth after the fair ordering thereof."
Islamic civilisation upheld the primacy of settling disputes by law, not force - among nations as among people. This has been Jordan's consistent effort, as a regional and global peacemaker. Today, we are devoting our full efforts to conflict resolution in my region. This includes working closely with other Arab states to create a unified strategy that can deliver on the promise of peace.
In the Middle East, our people have suffered tremendously from conflict. There is an urgent need for international assistance to help Iraq and Lebanon achieve security and rebuild their communities and economies. In Iraq, Jordan has provided humanitarian aid, as well as civil and security training. And we keep channels of dialogue open with all Iraqi leaders to encourage national reconciliation in their country. In the Lebanese crisis, Jordan helped spearhead the call for a ceasefire, and provided immediate humanitarian and other support.
Such contributions, from many countries, are vital to putting these countries, and the region, on the road to peace. But we will not achieve regional security until we focus on the core issue in the Middle East, an issue that has posed an ongoing challenge to international peace and order. And that is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
There has been no shortage of international resolutions on what must be done to settle this conflict. But in the absence of a qualified legal opinion, individual parties to the conflict were left to interpret these resolutions, and politics as usual prevailed.
Two years ago, this - the longest unresolved conflict before the United Nations - finally found its way to this esteemed court. And for the first time in the history of this bitter dispute, the world was privileged to have a dispassionate legal perspective of this conflict.
The advisory opinion that the court's judges penned was more than a declaration about the illegality of the Wall - a barrier that would divide Israelis and Palestinians even further - a barrier that would perpetuate conflict in our region. By pronouncing, extensively, on long-standing questions of legality, this court has given Arabs, Israelis and the international community firm ground on which to build peace in our region - a new foundation of international legality and justice. This court ruled, clearly, that the Palestinian territories are occupied, that the Palestinian people possess a legal right to self-determination, on Palestinian territory and that the conflict will only be brought to an end when all relevant Security Council resolutions are, finally, implemented.
The Court's opinion speaks to the profound injustice which the Palestinian people have suffered for decades. There cannot be lasting peace until this injustice is corrected, in full accord with international legitimacy. This is the basis for the landmark Arab Peace Initiative. Articulated at the 2002 meeting of all Arab states, it offered a comprehensive settlement, guaranteeing Israel's security to live in peace with its neighbours and providing, at long last, a sovereign, viable, and independent Palestine.
This two-state solution accords with international legality, and has been supported by the world community as well as the parties. Indeed, the International Court of Justice, in its ruling, asserted the need for such a negotiated solution, one that will establish a Palestinian state, existing side by side with Israel and its other neighbours - with peace and security for all in the region.
It is vital now to move the peace process forward on this basis. Concerned nations must act together - and with new urgency. Every day that goes by in conflict; every day that the humanitarian situation for the Palestinian people worsens; every day that our youth feel themselves failed by the international system - every day of mistrust and missed opportunities, slides us further down the path to regional and global disaster.
Madam President,
The United Nations and this court are founded on the principle that violence, force, and illegality should not be allowed to determine the future. The Arab people agree. We know that unilateral solutions will not bring peace. Peace requires a willing partnership, results-minded negotiations, and a settlement that is in full accord with international legality.
This court takes no role in diplomatic and political efforts. Yet your work - indeed, the work of the entire international court system - makes a vital contribution. It is through the high reputation of this court, and your influential voices, that our world may strengthen international law and civility, creating a firmer path to peace and setting us on the road to a goal that is urgently needed by all.
It is an old truth: peace and respect among nations depend on trust, and trust depends on the expectation of justice. I pledge Jordan's continuing support. Together, God willing, we can build an international legal order that will safeguard and empower the people of our world.
Thank you very much.

Today, I have the privilege to participate in a discussion as part of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs' Symposium on "Global Agriculture and Food Security: Progress to Date and Strategies for Success." The Chicago Council's efforts have been instrumental in elevating global food security as a U.S. policy priority. We are grateful to them for the opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made so far and remaining challenges we all face in tackling this issue.
At a time when food prices are reaching all-time highs, drawing millions into poverty and undermining global stability, it is critical that we maintain our focus on establishing long-term agriculture-driven economic development. And that's just what Feed the Future, the U.S. Government initiative to address global hunger and poverty, is about.
In 2009, President Obama pledged $3.5 billion through 2012 for food security, signaling a new era of U.S. investments in agricultural development and elevating its importance. I am proud to say we are on track to meeting that pledge. We are:
(1) Responding to country-driven priorities to maximize impact and sustainability. We have supported focus countries as they have analyzed the evidence and consulted with stakeholders to determine their own investment priorities and developed solid strategic investment plans.
(2) Launching innovative private sector partnerships. We are partnering with major companies like Pepsico to source products from farms in focus countries; working with retailers such as Walmart to establish supply chains for developing country crops; and collaborating with millions of smallholder farmers -- the ultimate small business -- to improve yields, increase incomes and create markets . In Tanzania, for example, we are facilitating investments along the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor, a public-private partnership that will promote clusters of agribusinesses with major benefits for smallholders and local communities across one-third of mainland Tanzania.
(3) Strengthening partnerships with U.S. universities to address critical research challenges to food security, including wheat stem rust, a disease that threatens wheat productivity worldwide. We are also supporting long-term partnerships to strengthen African agricultural universities and enable them to train the next generations of researchers, extension workers and agribusinessmen and women.
Investing in agricultural development and food security is critical to economic growth. It is also the right thing to do. From my perspective -- as an agricultural economist, a civil servant, and as an American -- that's the kind of investment I am proud of.

My taste in teas has clearly evolved over the years. In the beginning I favored Chinese greens, but now, even though I buy excellent greens, and brew them properly, I'm just not drawn to them anymore.
On the other hand, I crave Japanese greens. I've begun the day with Gyokuro Yame. It's part of my gyo project, where I'm beginning with the least expensive O-Cha gyo and working my way up. A sort of gyo OTTI of my own making and I'm looking forward to moving up a step to a higher quality gyo. The Yame is good but not great, as is to be expected at its price point. I stick to O-Cha because my most favorite Sencha blend is available exclusively through them, and they do have excellent gyros.

Instant Chocolate Mousse
Recipe courtesy of Nigella Lawson
- Nigella Express
Normally you need to make chocolate mousse a good few hours, or better still a day, before you want to eat it so the egg yolk sets and the[ whisked whites permeate everything with air bubbles. Forget that: here we have no yolks, no whites, no whisking, no waiting. Lack of raw egg, incidentally, also means that you might be happier giving the mousse to small children, though I certainly feel they should not be the only beneficiaries.]
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 9 ounces best quality semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
- 1/4 cup hot water from a recently boiled kettle
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Put the marshmallows, butter, chocolate and water in a heavy-based saucepan.
Put the saucepan on the stove, over heat, though keep it fairly gentle, to melt, stirring every now and again. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile whip the cream with the vanilla until thick and then fold into the cooling chocolate mixture until you have a smooth, cohesive mixture.
Pour or scrape into 4 or 6 glasses or small dishes and chill until you want to eat. The sooner the better!

The electric transmission and distribution system is on the verge of a transformation that may integrate some of the network capabilities of the information technology sector with the traditional electricity delivery capabilities of the existing transmission and distribution grid. Called the "smart grid," this advance in the electric system promises improvements in how we deliver and use power. Commissioners, companies, customers, and other electricity sector stakeholders are asking questions about the smart grid – what it is, what it can do, what value it brings, and what potential pitfalls should be avoided when considering moving forward. This frequently asked questions (FAQ) factsheet seeks to explore some of these questions and provide brief answers.
What Would Make the Grid a "Smart" Grid?
For the purposes of this factsheet, the smart grid takes the existing electricity delivery system and makes it "smart" by linking and applying seamless communications systems that can:
• gather and store data and convert the data to intelligence;
• communicate intelligence omni directionally among components in the "smart" electricity system; and
• allow automated control that is responsive to that intelligence.

City should explain budget
Bill Treckman, Minot
Did I miss something?
Back last spring, as the North Dakota Legislature was wrapping up, we saw our elected state legislators telling us how they had passed property tax relief and state educational aid legislation to reduce the property tax burden on all North Dakotans.
Fast forward to the present. We see the Minot School Board telling us they need to have a bond issue for $125 million to fund new school construction. And just a day or two later the city revealed its 2014 budget which will increase our property taxes more than 3 percent. This is due to the increased cost of maintaining our city infrastructure. Oh, and our water and sanitation bills were also going up. Wasn't Minot included in those tax relief legislations?
Something is wrong with this picture. These increases are due to increased demand on city services and educational facilities which are due to the rapid growth of our city population. You need only drive around the U.S. 2 & 52 and 83 bypasses to see that there are numerous new commercial and residential properties going up. Shouldn't these properties be adding to the city tax base? Shouldn't they be offsetting the increased costs of infrastructure improvements and educational needs? Why are the costs of these increases falling on the established residents of our city?
I would call on our elected city leaders as well as the civil service employees of our city government to publicly explain to the populous the rationale behind these budget proposals.
Has our city council given away too much in the name of economic development?

Google's Eric Schmidt: "Don't Be Evil" was Stupid
Tiffany Kaiser
May 14, 2013 11:00 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Schmidt admits that he thought the "don't be evil" slogan was stupid when he first came to Google
In a recent interview with NPR, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said that he used to think his company's famous slogan -- "don't be evil" -- was stupid.
NPR host Peter Sagal
interviewed Schmidt
recently on a segment called "Not My Job," which humorously speaks with important leaders and includes a game of some sort.
Sagal asked Schmidt how Google came up with the slogan, "don't be evil."
"Well, it was invented by Larry [Page] and Sergey [Brin]," said Schmidt. "And the idea was that we don't quite know what evil is, but if we have a rule that says don't be evil, then employees can say, I think that's evil. Now, when I showed up, I thought this was the stupidest rule ever, because there's no book about evil except maybe, you know, the Bible or something.
"So what happens is, I'm sitting in this meeting, and we're having this debate about an advertising product. And one of the engineers pounds his fists on the table and says, that's evil. And then the whole conversation stops, everyone goes into conniptions, and eventually we stopped the project. So it did work."
Sagal then humorously accused Schmidt of being the "businessman" type out of the group (among Page and Brin) who felt that an American business couldn't be evil.
"You're coming in, like, you're a businessman who's been successful in all kinds of Silicon Valley business," said Sagal. "And you come in, and you're like this thing about not being evil, that'll never work in American business. What, are you crazy, kids?"
Sagal and Schmidt discussed a few other topics as well, such as
Google Glass
. Sagal asked Schmidt what the glasses are used for exactly.
"Well, we don't quite know yet," said Schmidt. "We have maybe 2,000 of these. We've shipped them out to developers, and we're seeing what they develop. There's obviously issues, shall we say, of appropriateness of how people are going to use these things. There's a right time to have Google Glass on, and there's a right time to have it off, if you take my drift.
"So kind of watch and see what people do with it and then decide what to do."
"So if you want to save the planet, feel free to drive your Hummer. Just avoid the drive thru line at McDonalds." -- Michael Asher

John,FYI, on an ounce-for-ounce basis, a generic brick cheese (http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/4/2) is nutritionally similar to a generic low-moisture whole milk mozzarella cheese (http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/26/2). Maybe you can confirm that with any Nutrition Facts that I would imagine came with your Widmer brick cheese. Either way, in shredding or dicing the Widmer brick cheese, you might follow the advice given by Grande Cheese for shredding or dicing its loaf whole milk mozzarella cheese at http://www.grandecheese.com/products/Pages/Product_Spec.aspx?ProductMasterID=13 (look under Preparation). PeterEDIT (2/17/13): I found this nutrition information for a Widmer aged brick cheese: http://www.nutritionrank.com/calories-widmers-cheese-cellar-aged-brick-352311. However, it may be for a different Widmer brick cheese.Peter,The cheese did not have any nutritional info on the brick or with the packaging, but I think that nutritionrank.com info looks spot on. Thank you for the tip on shredding the cheese. You saved me a lot of frustration!I am planning on two DS pies tonight and the rest will be NP's --- three with frozen/thawed CY, and up to eight (hopefully) with TxCraig's starter-based dough. I say hopefully b/c it is C-O-L-D down here in NC today!John K

Vitamin C is the vitamin everybody knows about or thinks they do!
Also known as ascorbic acid, Vitamin C has been the subject of more study -- and more hype -- than any nutrient in history. It has been credited with being a miracle cure and having magical qualities but how much of all this is true? Unfortunately, not everything you've heard.
Let's find out what we know and what we don't about Vitamin C.
Basically, Vitamin C is a water-soluble compound whose primary function is collagen formation. Collagen is the protein responsible for forming the connective tissue in skin, ligaments, and bones and for the arrangement of blood vessels in our skin and organs.
So, why do many Americans get less Vitamin C in their diet than scientists recommend?
One reason is that the body cannot make Vitamin C it can be obtained only from diet or supplements and the amount we require varies substantially depending on age.
Another is that, while there are plenty of dietary sources for Vitamin C available, Vitamin C is easily depleted by air, water, freezing, and cooking. In fact, a lot of the vitamin content in food can be lost during basic preparation and canning and reheating can negate additional Vitamin C.
The structure function claims made on this website have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These dietary supplement products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Saudi Arabia
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Mac Harb Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, this year marks the centennial anniversary of the proclamation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The leadership, vision and commitment of the Government of Saudi Arabia and its people have created a society where education, economic development and diversification have become priorities.
The development of infrastructure and the petrochemical industry have transformed a barren land into one of the most advanced nations of the world. The Saudi Arabian people have built a moderate nation that is dedicated to promoting peace and stability.
On behalf of my colleagues and all Canadians, I ask His Excellency Dr. Mohammed Al-Hussaini, the Ambassador of Saudi Arabia, to extend our warmest congratulations to the Government of Saudi Arabia and its people, the people of this exceptional nation. I would like to wish them a happy anniversary.
Softwood Reclassification
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Darrel Stinson Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, thousands of Canadians work in the forest industry. This government has failed them by allowing U.S. customs today to end Canada-U.S. free trade on two more types of forest products, reclassifying them into the softwood lumber agreement.
Lumber producers in Quebec, Ontario and Alberta will be hurt. B.C. alone produces 61% of Canada's softwood exports. A Vancouver forestry consultant says this change will cost 1,000 jobs in B.C. alone.
However, at the World Wood Summit in Chicago on May 19, a world forestry analyst pointed out that the whole deal was based on the false claim that Canadian forest products were not being fairly exported, a claim not supported by share prices of Canadian lumber companies. Instead, and I quote, "In my view the trade dispute is all about politics and has nothing to do with `fair' trade".
The Liberal government must not only challenge this ruling, but finally have the intestinal fortitude to stand up and fight for the people in the forestry industry in Canada.
Foreign Investment
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Sophia Leung Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, I had the opportunity recently to witness the signing of the memorandum of intent between Interport Development Inc. and the China Development Industrial Bank of Taiwan. I was honoured to join the chairman and CEO of Interport, Stephen Wu, as well as the president of CDIB, Benny T. Hu.
This joint venture will develop a 450 acre light industry park which will generate $500 million in capital investment over 15 years and provide 5,000 new jobs. These relations between Canada and Taiwan are good for the B.C. economy, encouraging financial investment and job creation in western Canada.
Education Savings Grant Program
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Guy St-Julien Abitibi, QC
Mr. Speaker, for months now financial institutions have been sitting on education savings grants from the federal government. In so doing they have deprived children of several months of investment income, no deadline having been set for the Canada education savings grants program.
Financial institutions are keeping children's money in their vaults and dragging their feet. They do not face any penalties, so it is all the same to them.
The Government of Canada should give financial institutions a maximum of five days to transfer the money from federal grants into the education savings accounts of the children of Canada and impose a penalty on those institutions that do not comply.
White Rock, B.C.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Val Meredith South Surrey—White Rock—Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday morning the city of White Rock suffered a once in a lifetime storm when 70 millimetres of rain fell in less than six hours.
This intense rainfall, coupled with a hail storm, was more than the city storm drainage system could handle and, as the torrents roared downhill to scenic Marine Drive, dozens of homes, cars and businesses were flooded. The city and local RCMP detachment responded quickly, rescuing a number of residents trapped by the flash flood.
However, the people of White Rock are resilient. They immediately began to clean up their homes, their businesses and their city. Schools that were closed to flooding yesterday are already open today.
The province of B.C. has promised disaster financial assistance. I hope that those who suffered losses yesterday receive the required support quickly so they can get back on their feet.
Youth Entrepreneurship
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Steve Mahoney Mississauga West, ON
Mr. Speaker, youth entrepreneurship is alive and thriving in Canada. As chair of the Prime Minister's task force on youth entrepreneurship, I have witnessed firsthand these past months just how widespread the determination to succeed and flourish is among large numbers of our young Canadians.
Today I am hosting three such young business people who epitomize successful young entrepreneurs. On Tuesday, May 25, Albert Lai, Michael Furdyk and Michael Hayman, ages 16, 18 and 20 respectively, sold their computer on-line company for more than one million dollars. What started out in 1996 as a hobby has become a thriving business which not only enabled them to gain experience in the competitive worlds of business and cyberspace, but which has also ensured a future full of innovative and creative opportunity.
My congratulations to Albert, Michael and Michael, who are with us in the House today.
Fernand Séguin Award
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Serge Cardin Sherbrooke, QC
Mr. Speaker, May 27 was the date of the 1999 Fernand Séguin award ceremony. This award for journalism is presented annually by the Association des communicateurs scientifiques du Québec and the Société Radio-Canada. Its purpose is to encourage and stimulate careers in science writing.
This year the jury's choice was Sophie Payeur, a master's student at the Université de Sherbrooke. She wrote an excellent scientific article about the brain's capacity to adapt. The article explains that blind people have a heightened sense of hearing that enables them to locate with considerable accuracy the origin of sounds.
In addition to a $12,000 grant, she will benefit from a six month internship writing about science, including three months for the broadcast Découvertes .
My congratulations to Ms. Payeur, who has shown that the complexity of scientific endeavour does not in any way mean that it cannot be written about in a manner that any curious reader or listener can understand.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jim Abbott Kootenay—Columbia, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are tremendously proud of the RCMP's work both in Canada and abroad.
Yesterday the Minister of Foreign Affairs talked about sending RCMP to help in gathering forensic evidence and establishing infrastructure in Kosovo, but what about the RCMP infrastructure in Canada?
This government has slashed hundreds of millions of dollars from the RCMP budget. The force currently has a shortfall of up to 20% of staff in B.C. detachments. The RCMP is stretched as thin as Canada's military, and that speaks volumes.
The foreign affairs minister made commitments for the defence minister and now he is making commitments for the solicitor general. Why will the solicitor general not stand up for the RCMP?
While RCMP officers place their lives on the line, very frequently for free with no overtime, the solicitor general slithers, dithers and talks about studies. Officers are committed to combating criminal forces in Canada. What they need is a commitment from this government to a strong and vital RCMP.
Member For Glengarry—Prescott—Russell
Statements By Members
June 9th, 1999 / 2:10 p.m.
Andrew Telegdi Kitchener—Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have great news. Finally a member of the federal cabinet has earned a University of Waterloo degree. Joining 106,900 current University of Waterloo alumni, the hon. minister from Glengarry—Prescott—Russell will receive his BA in History on June 17, 1999.
John English, former member of parliament for Kitchener, and I, the first University of Waterloo grads to become MPs in 1993, although yet to become honourable, wish to congratulate the hon. minister and to welcome him to the club. This member has come a long way from bussing tables upstairs at the parliamentary restaurant. His regret of leaving school after grade 11 has been rectified. Next week, after 11 years of correspondence courses, all in relative secrecy, he will be convocating.
He exemplifies lifetime learning and stands as a symbol for adult and correspondence education.
We are all very proud of this first ever cabinet minister to graduate while serving in cabinet. I look forward to participating in his convocation ceremony next week.
Member For Glengarry—Prescott—Russell
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the member for Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, BA. On the 17th of June he becomes a graduate of the University of Waterloo.
Our colleague has earned his degree by correspondence while working as hard or harder than anyone in the House.
As many know, he began work on Parliament Hill in the restaurant. Today he is the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons. This is an extraordinary example of lifelong learning, an example to all Canadians.
In this case, I have to say that the degree, worthy though it is, is in no way a measure of the level of education achieved by our colleague. Through the university of life, he has achieved a level of education that cannot be measured by letters after a name. Our colleague has a fine intellect, honed through personal study and through lifelong public service for all Canadians.
While my colleague's concern for the proprieties of the House prevent my mentioning his name, I say, on behalf of all here, congratulations D.B., BA.
The Constitution
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, the New Democratic Party of Canada, like the CCF before it, is proud of our roots in the deep and resilient faith of our founders, leaders like J.S. Woodsworth, Tommy Douglas and Stanley Knowles.
Today, together with my NDP caucus, I reaffirm our party's continuing support for the inclusion in Canada's Constitution of the preamble referring to the supremacy of God.
Our party supported inclusion of that preamble in 1981 and our position remains firm. New Democrats stand together in supporting this clear statement of our most fundamental belief expressed across the country in a wonderful variety of faiths.
Société Nationale De L'Acadie
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Louis Plamondon Richelieu, QC
Mr. Speaker, at the 80th annual assembly of the Société Saint-Thomas d'Aquin held on May 15, the Acadians of Prince Edward Island adopted a resolution calling for the Société nationale de l'Acadie to be allowed to represent the Acadian people at the Sommet de la Francophonie in Moncton. This would allow the Acadians of Prince Edward Island and of Nova Scotia to have a voice on the international scene, since New Brunswick, as a governmental member of the Agence de la Francophonie, can represent only the people of that province.
The Société nationale de l'Acadie already has co-operative agreements with numerous countries, including France and Belgium. Its recognition as spokesperson for the Acadian people within the Agence de la Francophonie will enable the Acadians to make their unique character known to the world.
If the international Francophonie did not have any misgivings about including governments such as those of Quebec and New Brunswick, could it not recognize the Acadian people, the second francophone group in America, as a participant in the Agence de la Francophonie?
Statements By Members

Progressive Conservative
Rick Borotsik Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, Canada and Ukraine have a long history together as upwards of one million Canadians identify with some Ukrainian heritage, including myself. Many of those who emigrated from Ukraine live today on the prairie provinces.
Canada, under the leadership of the previous Progressive Conservative government, was the first country in the western world to recognize an independent Ukraine in 1991.
A notable program that has recently emerged to foster our relationship with Ukraine is Premier Gary Filmon's decision to establish a secretariat to foster linkages between Manitoba and Ukraine.
Furthermore, I mention that the Institute on Governance has developed a two week study tour which involves examining and understanding the Canadian federal government and reflecting on that which can be adopted by Ukraine practice.
I am pleased to welcome to Ottawa today Leonid Kravchuk, Chairman of the State Commission on Administrative Reform, who was the first president of Ukraine from 1991 to 1994. We in the Progressive Conservative party wish Mr. Kravchuk a successful stay in Canada and extend our wishes for Ukraine's continued reformation.
Selected Decisions Of Speaker John A. Fraser
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
The Speaker
We will make up whatever time we need at the end of question period, but this is a rather special day for us in parliament.
I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the Selected Decisions of Speaker John A. Fraser .
This is a new reference document on parliamentary procedure. It is the sixth volume in a series containing the rulings of the Speakers of the House.
This present collection contains 193 decisions covering the period from 1986 to 1993, when Speaker John Fraser presided over the House from the second session of the 33rd Parliament to the end of the 34th Parliament.
On this special occasion we are honoured today by the presence in our gallery of the Hon. John A. Fraser, distinguished former Speaker of the House.

My try at "Best ever thin cracker crust pizza"
June 28, 2011, 10:01:27 PM »
This was my first attempt. I only had 6 hours for the dough to work, so I added a little more yeast to speed things up. I punched the dough down 3 times during the rise. The dough was very flexible, and easy to roll out. I did increase the proportions by 25%, I'd rather have too much dough and not enough. I put the round in a 14.5 inch perforated cutter pan that was sprayed with Pam. I lightly docked the skin. I put the pizza on a preheated 550 degree stone. I turned the oven down to 475 degrees so the crust would cook longer and get crisper. After 3 minutes I removed the pizza, added 6oz of Johnsonville sweet Italian sausage, 8 oz of ball mozz, and 4oz of Classico tomato basil sauce. I added some fennel seed and used a stick blender to smooth it out. I used fennel because I like the way it tasted on the old Pizza Hut thin crust Italian sausage pizza. I removed the pizza from the pan and set it back on the stone for another 5 minutes. I ran the convection fan for 1 more minute to brown the top. It turned out pretty good. It was crispy on the outside and just a little chewy on the inside. I had a lot of nice bubbles. It could have been a little thinner.
I still had about 14oz by weight of dough left over. I put it back in the fridge for 2 days. I took it out and let it set at room temp for 5 hours. I rolled it out to almost paper thin. I used the same procedure that I used for the first one. I made this more southwestern. I topped it with, 4oz of grilled peppered chicken tenders, 3oz Picante sauce, 5oz cheddar jack cheese. I used less toppings because the crust was thinner and lighter. It turned out great. It was very crisp, and had a nice light bite. It was a little chewy in the middle. The long rise made for a tastier crust with better texture, but the first pizza would do in a pinch. The first three pics are of the Italian sausage, the last three are of the southwest pizza. It was really thin. Pic 4 shows how thin and wispy the dough was.

Looks very good.
Can you give us more details on the recipe you used for making the dough, and any other ingredients you used (sauce, brand and types of cheese, etc.)?
Way to go! Keep posting your results.
Let them eat pizza.

Thanks! I used the recipe found in the forum on the cracker crust thread, "Best ever thin cracker crust pizza". For the Italian sausage I used Johnsonville Sweet Italian Sausage, a 8 oz ball of real mozz, 6oz of Classico tomato/basil sauce. I infused a teaspoon of fennel seed in the sauce to mimic the flavor of Pizza Hut's thin crust Italian sausage pizza from the 60's to 70's era. I used a stick blender to smooth out the sauce before using. I also precooked the sausage.
For the southwestern pizza I grilled Tyson's chicken tenders. I first coated them with fresh ground black pepper to give them a kick. I used Mild Pace Picante Sauce instead of tomato. I drained some of the liquid off to keep the crust from getting soggy, I shredded the Kraft cheddar jack cheese. I heated my pizza stone to 550 degrees, I then turned down the stove to 475 degrees. I did this to let the crust cook longer and to drive off more moisture. I lightly docked the skin, and brushed with olive oil to help seal and crisp the crust. It seems to keep the crust from getting soggy on top. I par baked the skin for 3 minutes, then loaded the toppings and baked it in the oven for about 5 minutes directly on the stone. I used the convection fan for 1 more minute to brown the top. I warmed the leftovers the next day in the oven, it was even crispier, and still was wonderful. I used KA bread flour. I used the recipe below. It is from Steve's post... "Best ever thin cracker crust pizza." It is in the Cracker style thread, 3rd page down.
1 pound bread flour (Sam's Club "Bakers and Chefs bread flour")
2/3 cup warm water
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
Using a KitchenAid stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, add water to the mixing bowl and add yeast. Run mixer for several minutes to dissolve yeast. Meanwhile, in another mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar and salt. After yeast is dissolved, add flour mixture to water and set mixer to speed "2". Run mixer for about 10 minutes using a rubber spatula to scrape any dry flour from side of mixing bowl into the path of the dough hook. After 10 minutes, add vegetable oil and mix for 2 additional minutes using spatula to keep everything in the path of the dough hook. When finished, the dough will appear very scrappy and rough. Pick up the dough scraps and press them into a ball by squeezing them together with your hands. Place dough into a plastic bucket, seal, and and allow to rise at room temperature for 24 hours.
When ready to make pizza, turn dough out onto floured work surface. Using a large rolling pin, roll dough out very thin. Drape dough over an oiled cutter pan, press into place, and trim off excess with the rolling pin. Dock the dough, add sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake at 500 degrees F. on the lowest rack in the oven (the cutter pan should only be inches from the heating element). I open the oven door frequently to allow the heat to escape... this causes the thermostat to kick on which keeps the bottom heating element on. This superheats the pan making the crust cook and become crispy. When the bottom is golden brown and crisp, remove from oven. Slide pizza out of pan onto a wire cooling rack. Allow to cool 5 to 10 minutes before placing in a serving tray and slicing.

It looks like you tweaked the starting dough recipe you used, so can you clarify which of the two cracker style recipes at
you used?
Also, in your discussion you mentioned that you pre-baked the crust but later in your discussion you indicated that you put everything on the pizza without first pre-baking the crust. It sounds like you may have used both methods and, if so, can you clarify which method you used for which pizza?
I agree that you did a nice job.

On the 3rd page of the Cracker style thread is the "Best ever thin cracker crust pizza." Steve is the author of the post. He says he used DKM's recipe. Looks like he has tweaked it quite bit as he experiments. The dough ingredients and procedure I listed in my reply post, was from Steve's post. On his recipe, he does not par bake the skins first. Steve has really worked hard to perfect it. Between Steve and DKM I got some really great advice from the postings. I was really surprised how well the pies turned out. I'm used to working with softer doughs, but I had no problem with these. I will try again to reproduce my results. I have learned that I like the crust thinner as was my southwestern pizza. I par baked both skins before adding toppings. I don't do that with thicker pizza's or Vera Pizza Napolentana. I've been trying for over two years to get something that was really good. After much trial and error, and great help from the forum, I'm really pleased with the results. I decided to post my thoughts and pics. I thought that they turned out well enough that I would not get laughed off the site. Ha! Just kidding. I think everyone here is great. I thank my lucky stars I found it. I am a fine artist by trade, but pizza is my second love. Trying for pizza perfection is almost an addiction. One of the best that I can think of. Hope this clears the confusion.

Thanks Steve!!!!!! I hate this site. Not! It makes me wanna eat some wonderful pizza. It's hard when you watch your weight. Thanks for all your time and effort in making this a great site. I think most members here make better pizza than you can buy. I have learned so much, and have so much more to learn. I can't wait to try other recipes on this site. I am partial to thin crust, but I make a mean Pizza Bianca. I'll share my recipe when I am sure I can explain it easily for the members to replicate. Pizza is the food of the Gods!!

Rated 4 out of 5�by C8902 Do what they should do, BUT Weights aRe great. Nicely constructed with rubber ends BUT the rubber has a horrible odor that fills the room. Even after 2 weeks and tons of air cleaner still smells like a tire warehouse December 19, 2012
