A16 in San Francisco
March 05, 2005, 10:44:22 AM »
I visited San Francisco and had some fine pizza. I would say world class. It was similar to Uno Pizza Napoletano in NY. Wood fired oven, perfect pufffy and soft, yet crisp crust, simple uncooked tomato sauce, good fresh Motz, (but not Buffalo Motz). This place is trendy,busy and hard to get inot. They had other food, but most people ordered pizza. We sat at the 'chefs counter' and watched pizzas being made. The dough was very wet. The pizza maker patted it mostly, with a little toss in the air at the end.
Uno Pizza in NY had a smoky tasting crust. I have had several wood fired oven pizzas and Uno is the only one to have a distinctive smoky taste. I cannot figure out why.

I headed to San Francisco this week on business and, before leaving, referenced the forum for any recommendations on where to get good pizza in SF. I can't thank you enough for your post on "A16". Based on your feedback, I decided to give it a try and to say I was pleased would be a total understatement! When you referred to the pizza at A16 as "world class" you were not lying. Christoff Hill, owner and master pizzaola of A16, produced the finest pizza that I have tasted anywhere, including any NYC restaurant. Better yet, it was unbelievable to have the opportunity to watch this great pizzaiola make pizzas right in front of me and then spend over an hour picking his brain on how to re-create the A16 pizza at home. This was the finest overall pizza experience I have had in my entire life. I now look forward to setting out to re-create the A16 crust at home. My notes from the visit to the restaurant are extensive so I should have a great head start on things. Thanks again for a fabulous recommendation, as I believe it is the finest pizza made anywhere in America at this time. I will now start the re-engineering process on a new thread in "recipes and techniques" within this forum.

I'm willing to bet that
passion about pizzas was instrumental in being able to spend the quality time with the pizzaiolo at A16. My experience is that pizzaioli have little opportunity to carry on serious discussions with anyone about their craft, especially with someone with your level of skill and knowledge about pizza making, but that when the opportunity does arise they are most generous in sharing their knowledge and experiences. Sometimes it's almost hard to stop them once they get going.
If I can be of any help in your reverse engineering efforts, please let me know. I'd like to think that we all learned a lot, both good and bad, from the forum's efforts to reverse engineer the Patsy's and DiFara's doughs. At least, several pretty good dough recipes came out of those efforts.

Thanks for the kind note and I am indeed looking forward to your expertise and insight in our latest "re-engineering" opportunity. I am especially excited for your leadership and input because the number 1 starting point for an A16 pizza is exclusive use of CAPUTO PIZZERIA 00 FLOUR. I will elaborate in much greater detail in a subsequent post tomorrow. Suffice it to say though, that Christophe Hille is an expert in Neapolitan pizza making and, more specifically, the use of Caputo 00 flour. I think you will find his techniques and insight very interesting. More to come tomorrow. In the meantime, here is a link to the A16 website:
Here is a quote from a recent newspaper review of A16: "Concentrating on the region of Campania, chef Christophe Hille studied to be a certified pizzaiolo; the manual on how to produce the thin, blistered crust is more than 40 pages long."

I was checking out some of the articles written about a16 and found some serious recipes for stuff other than pizza. Thanks for the link! That meatball with green peppercorn sauce looks amazing.

Glad you enjoyed the link. A16 is truly and amazing restaurant and, while I was primarily focused on the authentic neapolitan pizza making process, it was abundantly clear that all the food at this restaurant is first rate in every way. In addition to watching certifiec Neapolitan pizzaoli prepare and discuss pizza, I was also watching homemade pasta being made, rolled, and run through a pasta press. The open kitchen is truly an amazing sight. I didn't realize there were recipes on the review section from the restaurant. If you have any other specific links for the recipe you referenced earlier, please share it with us!
This promises to be the funnest and most rewarding re-engineering effort to date. I can't wait to get started. Here's another little write-up on Chef Hille and his expertise as a pizzaolo and the art of Neapolitan pizza:
"At A16, the 31-year-old Hille is off to a very promising start. He's worked at high-end San Francisco restaurants such as Campton Place and Charles Nob Hill, has studied and worked in France, and spent five months in Campania cooking and immersing himself in the cuisine. He was even certified as a pizzaiolo by the Vera Pizza Napoletana Association, where the art of pizza making is detailed in 40-plus-page manual. Only a few establishments in the United States have sent people to complete the training; in the Bay Area, the only one I know of is Cafe Niebaum-Coppola in Palo Alto."

My experience at a16 was much different than expected. The pizza crust was really nothing at all like what I had while visiting Naples Italy this summer. I am actually a little shocked that they bill the place as having authentic Neapolitan style pies. Although very thin, the crust was much heavier and denser than the pizza in Naples. I couldn't help but wonder if they had accidentally used a dough ball for my pizza that was past it's prime. I looked around the pizzeria and noticed that every single table that had ordered pizza (about 1/2 the restaraunt) had not eaten their crust. That is not a good sign! I can't remember seeing a single piece of crust left uneaten at any pizzeria in Naples, or even in New York at Una Pizza Napoletanna for that matter.
One good thing about the pizza was the toppings. The sauce was really really good. It was applied heavier than it would be in Naples, but I did not mind. It covered up the bland heavy crust and enabled me to at least enjoy the pizza somewhat. The cheese seemed fresh and had good flavor. Unfortunately the quality of a Neapolitan pie is almost totally dependant on the crust. If this place would get a hotter oven and better dough management it could be something really special. Unfortunately I walked away feeling like A16 is the kind of place that uses a fridge retarded dough so that the chef doesn't have to deal with making it on a daily basis.
I also split a 1/2 order of gnocchi, an Italian potato based pasta. The gnocchi were obviously home made and were in a really simple sauce that tasted like sauteed (then removed) onions, butter, and olive oil with a splash of chicken stock. This was the only thing about the meal that was anything special.
I had a side dish of olives that were not even as good as what I find in the olive bar of my local grocery store.
I had a cod fillet that honestly had twice the salt of anything I have ever been served in my life. This dish was obviously a mistake. I was picturing the chef slipping on something as he was adding the salt to the dish. This is coming from a guy who is often accused of being an over salter when I cook! I have never put 1/2 this much salt on anything in my life.
In the end one tasty dish out of four is not good enough to get me to ever try this place again. My apologies go out to anyone who really likes A16. I guess I could try it again and I might have a great pie. I have a feeling I got there on a really bad day.

Hi David, thanks for the New Years greeting!
I was only able to get to a few pizzerias while visiting the San Francisco area. I checked out Round Table which was very good for a chain. I tried Fat Slice on Height St. which had a very thick tasty crust and quality cheese, but unfortunately the slice I tried had almost no sauce on it. I also tried another place right on Height street but I forget the name. It was a very authentic NY style joint that really made me think I was eating street pizza in Manhattan.
I tried to get into Pizzaiolo in Oakland. This is a sit down Neapolitan style pizzeria and it was packed. The wait was too long so I had to eat next door. I was with a group of friends or I would have waited for sure, as the pizzas looked tremendous. The owner was the head pizza chef at the famous restaraunt Chez Paniz for many years before branching out to open this pizzeria. I noticed that everybody was eating their crust at this establishment! The pies looked more like what I saw in Naples than the A16 pies. I would suggest trying this place if you live in the area, just a hunch, but I think it probably rocks.

Russia Strengthens Hold At Grand Masters World Championships In Miami
Russia increased its dominance of brackets at the IJF Grand Masters Judo World Championships yesterday in Miami, claiming nine more gold medals in three age groups.
That brought Russia's total to 22 gold, 14 silver and 19 bronze with Germany holding onto the second spot in the overall count of medals.
Sanctioned by the International Judo Federation and hosted by USA Judo, nearly 900 fighters from almost 50 nations converged on the luxurious Doral Gold Resort & Spa in Miami-Doral for this four-day elite competition among athletes ages 30+.
The action continues today with team competition and the open division.
Facing-off yesterday, on the third day of competition, were the age groups M2 (35-39 years), M4 (45-49) and the M5 (50-54 years). There are 100 competing in the M2, divisions, 128 in the M4 divisions, and 100 in the M5 divisions.
Russia dominated the brackets in the M2 division, the youngest group of the day, picking up four of the seven gold medals in these weight divisions. The Ukraine picked up two gold medals and Argentina claimed one. Fighting was intense among the 100 fighters across the seven weight divisions in this, the second youngest age group of the tournament.
Russia also took three gold medals in the M4 age group (45 to 49). Brazil, Kazakhstan and Italy each took one, as well.
Russia clawed through the brackets of the M5 division (50 – 54 years) again claiming the top spot on the podium in three of the weight classes. France, Italy, Mongolia and the Netherlands each took one of the other gold medals.
Host nation USA held onto its third-place spot in the international ranking, taking three silver medals and three bronze medals yesterday.

Conditions less than ideal for Michigan trout opener
IRON MOUNTAIN – Today is opening day of trout season on Type 1 and Type 2 streams in Michigan.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says things may get off to a slow start. Ice in the north and flooding in the central and lower regions of Michigan make for less than ideal conditions.
At The Sport Shop in Iron River, Don Ciochetto agrees.
"Frankly, it's not going to be a good opener," he said. "The water is going to be high, the water is going to be dirty and the water is going to be cold."
Ciochetto said most anglers buying licenses from The Sport Shop are not planning on going out for the opener.
Tom Bean at Crystal Bait in Crystal Falls said fish will be sluggish in the cold water.
"Trout like the water temp to be about 50 degrees," Bean said.
John Grier at Whispering Pines Outpost in Breitung Township said he's starting to sell a lot of licenses to anglers getting ready. He also reported people still going ice fishing on Badwater.
There are still plenty spring turkey licenses for sale in the state.
At Crystal Bait, Bean said he's seen a couple of decent turkeys harvested, weighing in at around 20 pounds.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said that, although many northern waters remained ice covered, warm weather and sunshine are in the forecast for the coming days. Song birds are signing. Turkeys are finally starting to move.
Prolonged spring conditions this year have produced an excellent maple syrup crop across Wisconsin in stark contrast to last season. Colder than normal conditions resulted in very high quality syrup being produced, which translates into quantity and quality. Backyard hobbyist and large producers have been wrapping up syrup cooking in the southern and central portions of the state over the past week and the season is winding down in the north with warmer conditions predicted over the next week.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources reported the following fishing conditions across the Upper Peninsula:
Trout streams were flowing high and fast. Access will be difficult on most lakes and streams as snow pack is quite deep in places. The trout opener will be slow but look for good fishing in the weeks following as the ice melts and the trout move into the shallows to feed.
Keweenaw Bay: The Ice has broken up almost straight out from Carla's Restaurant and the ice is gone from Keweenaw Bay Park. Shoreline ice in many places has started to erode. Some fishing out from the L'Anse Marina have gone in up to their knee's after stepping into old holes that were eroding from underneath. Anglers have caught a few chinook, coho, rainbow trout or lake herring off the L'Anse Marina and up near Perch Corner. The smelt bite between Baraga and Bucks Marina slowed.
Falls River: Has rainbow trout but the bite was slow.
Marquette: Pack ice is still present along the shorelines between the Carp River and the Chocolay River. There are large areas of floating ice along M-28 about a half mile off shore. The Upper Harbor is ice free and ready for launching. The Lower Harbor could be ice free by the end of the week. The breakwalls were still dangerous due to ice cover. Catch rates for coho were not good however a couple steelhead were caught by those using spawn, crawlers, spinners or small plastic worms.
Chocolay River: Has steelhead although the big push has not yet occurred. Many are fishing here because most of the snow is gone.
Menominee: The bay is ice free however the marina was still iced in.
Menominee River: Walleye were caught upstream of Boom Island when jigging minnows. The shoreline between Stephenson Island and the dam was busy with shore anglers and those wading while casting rapalas. The Cat Walk and fishing platforms at the Hattie Street Dam were also busy with walleye anglers. Try casting different colored rapalas, jigging with zip lures or jig heads with and without minnows. Those looking for brown trout had no luck.
Cedar River: Is ice free. One boat trolling off the mouth had some difficulty with floating ice. They were targeting brown trout but had no strikes. Stoney Point was still iced in.
Little Bay De Noc: Even though much of the bay was still iced over conditions are deteriorating on a daily basis. All the rivers are open and flowing high and fast. Steelhead anglers have started but water temperatures were still cold. The Ford River launch is open but the dock is not in and the current is quite strong.
Big Bay De Noc: Is in the same condition as Little Bay. All the rivers are open but running high and fast. Perch anglers are hoping the ice will be gone as we move closer to spring fishing. At Fairport, the launches are ice free and open.
Au Train: The bay is still iced but movement of the ice is causing pressure cracks. Two feet of snow remains in the parking lot at the Brownstone launch. Some were fishing near the mouth of the river but no fish were caught.
Munising: Had very low fishing pressure as ice conditions have changed dramatically over the last week. Ice is present but no longer safe in the west channel. Sand Point had ice but there is open water along the length of the shoreline. While many areas still had packed snow and ice anglers need to be cautious of potentially large pressure cracks hidden under the snowfall. The best access to the ice is near the mouth of the Anna River but use caution around any open water. Catch rates for coho and splake were poor. A couple whitefish were caught in shallow waters near the Anna River. Access to Trout Bay has been cut-off due to shoreline conditions.
Sucker River: Has steelhead moving in. Deep snow will make it difficult for shore anglers navigating along the river.
Two Hearted River: Steelhead were starting to move in. Water temperatures are still cold so anglers are still waiting for that big push of fish. Access is very difficult right now unless you fish near the High Bridge. The snow was still two to three feet deep in places along the watershed.
Albany Creek: The access is still snowed in but those hiking down to the lake have caught some steelhead. They are wading near rocks and casting spawn or spinners.
Cedarville and Hessel: Anglers continue to target perch in Hessel Bay but the better fishing was in Musky Bay. Try minnows, wigglers and wax worms.
Carp River: A few anglers have caught steelhead on spawn. Look for the beginning of the smelt run now that the mouth of the river is ice free.

Berkshire Meeting: Buffett Says Little on Succession
OMAHA (TheStreet) -- Berkshire Hathaway
Twice during the entertaining event, the 82-year old billionaire evaded direct questions seeking he announce a successor.
When asked by a shareholder about announcing a successor, Buffett did not disclose the name of Berkshire Hathaway's

"It will be the same thing and you can count on that," Buffett said of Berkshire's culture after he leaves.
Other hot topics at the conglomerate's packed shareholder meeting included acquisitions, the global economy, the state of the banking industry and Federal Reserve policies.

Buffett and Berkshire vice chairman Charles Munger provided plenty of colorful moments, including a disagreement on the state of the U.S. banking industry.
They both also gave only muted signs of excitement for Berkshire's push into international markets such as Europe and Asia.
"If you told us that we could only invest in the United States the rest of our lives, we would not view that as a huge hardship," Buffett said.

On Friday, Berkshire beat earnings expectations on strong performance from operating units such as BNSF Railways
"It was a benign quarter in insurance, but our other businesses did quite well," Buffett said of Berkshire's earnings at the shareholder meeting. "We have been very lucky that a lot of oil has been found close to our railroad tracks," he added, of BNSF earnings.
Buffett did a strong job portraying the performance of Berkshire's operating subsidiaries, for instance, BNSF Railways, according to William Smead, chief investment officer of Smead Capital.
At the meeting, Buffett and Munger appeared hesitant to project Berkshire's earnings in a faster growing economy said Smead. "I was surprised by the lack of the probabilities they laid out for an improving economy," he said.
Buffett also picked Seabreeze Partners President and Real Money Pro contributor Doug Kass to make the case for shorting shares of Berkshire Hathaway.
Kass pressed Buffett on issues such as succession, the ability to grow a company as big as Berkshire, and the firm's ability to quickly cut profitable deals with firms in need of capital.
"Doug Kass provided a little spice. Although being the devils advocate in that situation, it was an impossible role," Smead said. Kass "raised some interesting points and drew some good responses," he added.

Improvements planned at City Park this summer
By LINDA LOBECK
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – City Park in Iron Mountain will not only be busy this summer with people taking advantage of what the park has to offer, this will be the second year of improvement projects.
The city of Iron Mountain received a $500,000 grant from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund and has three years in which to spend the money on improvements to City Park.
With the $500,000 grant, the city had to have a match of 26 percent or $175,600 bringing the total amount to $675,600 to spend on improvements.
"We will be really busy this summer with some major projects to be completed," said Kevin Trevillian, project manager, with Coleman Engineering of Iron Mountain.
The 2013 projects include restrooms, sanitary sewer, improvements to the deer enclosure pond, roadway work near the two new athletic fields and a trail going around the park.
The breakdown in cost will be $25,000 from the trust fund grant and a local match of $15,000 for the new restrooms; $70,000 for sanitary sewer coming out of the trust fund; $71,000 for pond improvements from the trust fund monies; $132,00 for roadway work and trails from the trust fund with a local match of $87,000; and $31,000 for engineering.
The total estimated expense for these projects, Trevillian noted, is $431,500 with $329,500 coming from the trust fund and $102,000 as part of the local match.
During 2012, projects completed includes grading, topsoil and seeding for the two athletic fields, deer enclosure fencing and tree planting; and adding picnic tables and benches for a total of $161,659.
After this construction season, Trevillian estimates the city will have spent $593,159 from the total $675,600 with $82,441 remaining.
Outstanding projects totaling $80,000 remain after this year. Trevillian said that this includes a skate board park estimated at a cost of $60,000; frisbee golf area at a cost of $5,000; and concession stand near the new athletic fields totaling $10,000 with $5,000 left for engineering on these projects.
The soccer fields, which were seeded last year, may not be ready to use this year because of a possible problem with broadleaf getting into the seed.
Trevillian noted that it may take one month or more to see what exactly is going on and whether this has affected the fields.
"I agree that we have to make sure the fields are ready to use and can withstand a lot of activity on them. But we have to wait and re-evaluate what's going on this spring," Trevillian said.
He also discussed the restroom facilities that will be added to the bocce ball facility. This will include three men's urinals, a toilet and sink in the men's bathroom, and four toilets and a sink in the women's bathroom so there is a good number of accommodations during activities at the park.
Trevillian will solicit contractors for the restrooms, roadways and trails and pond work.
He noted that with the restrooms, they are looking to put in a sanitary sewer system, because a gravity sewer system is good for the long-term. This requires several manholes and 8-inch sanitary sewer PVC pipe to the street at an estimated cost of $70,000. This work will include tearing up the roadway while it is being worked on and the roadway being put back in.
"You need a system that is large enough to meet the requirements for the bathrooms. But we don't need to resolve the issue of whether it's going to be sanitary sewer or a septic tank and field before we build the restrooms," Trevillian said.
There was some concern from city officials about the cost for the deer enclosure pond improvements with the project, but Trevillian noted this could be potentially pared back. They just need to see where the quotes come in for the project, which includes a new pond liner and aeration fountain.
The roadway work and trails are also a big project this summer with the trail going around the deer pen and a paved loop around the park. The roadway improvements are for going in and out of the athletic fields area.
Trevillian said that city crews have already been cutting trees for the path.
City Manager Jordan Stanchina said that the city has applied for an extension with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund allowing the project to be completed by November 2014 rather than May 1, 2014.
Once the park improvements are completed, a non-profit organization has been organized to take care of the park in the future.
Friends of the City Park are working on fund-raising with the goal of having a perpetual fund available for upgrades and upkeep.
The annual Saturday in the Park fund-raiser, which helps provide for the matching funds for the City Park grant, will be held on July 27.
The community picnic event includes musical entertainment, food and drinks, games for kids, a dunk tank featuring city officials, and a flea market.

Template-based Verification and Synthesis using SMT Solvers
SMT Solvers (or Theorem Provers) have traditionally been used for verifying correctness of systems that have been annotated with relevant inductive invariants. Such an annotation usually is an undesirable burden on the user. This project explores techniques for using SMT solvers to automatically discover inductive invariants for proving given safety properties of systems. Additionally, this project also explores techniques for using SMT solvers to synthesize systems in the first place given enough specifications.
Saurabh Srivastava, who is leading work on this project in the context of software
systems for his Phd dissertation, has maintained a more detailed webpage here.

Less than a month into the New Year and the e-retailer and marketplace announces plans for three additional U.S. fulfillment centers.
10 billion Apple app downloads—how can retailers make theirs stand out?
Find reasons to keep app users coming back.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog post about why I believe smartphone owners prefer to use mobile sites rather than apps in most cases. My argument was that unless a consumer uses an app on a regular basis, (for example to check their bank account or the weather) most would rather just visit a mobile site to complete a task than download and house an app. Since I presume most smartphone owners don't purchase from the same mobile retailer several times a week, I think it's best for retailers to start with an m-commerce site.
However, Apple proved again this week there's still a massive appetite for apps. Apple announced Saturday that more than 10 billion apps have been downloaded from the Apple App Store by the more than 160 million iPhone , iPod Touch and iPad users worldwide. That's an average of 62.5 apps per device. The App Store launched in 2008
The 10 billionth app downloaded, Paper Glider, was purchased by Gail Davis of Orpington, Kent, UK. To celebrate the milestone, Davis will receive a $10,000 iTunes gift card.(Paper Glider, by the way, is a game where you virtually fly a paper plane through a room attempting to get it out of a window without hitting a series of ceiling fans. It is rated three out of five stars by app users).
Apple now offers 350,000 apps for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and more than 60,000 native iPad apps are now available.
I don't know about you, but 62.5 apps per device seems like a lot to me. It makes me wonder how many apps are downloaded for a specific reason and then deleted? A hotel or resort for example, may offer an app that an individual would use only during her stay, and apps with cult followings like The Bed Intruder will only be hilarious for so long.
What matters most for e-retailers is whether or not it's in their best interest to create an app for Apple's mobile devices. In short, will consumers download and use an app to shop? There's a slew of apps on the market that aren't e-commerce-related from news, to games to bubble levels, that are all jumbled in with this number and can confuse the bottom line for merchants.
The study I cited in my previous post found that a full two-thirds of 1,200 mobile phone owners surveyed say they prefer the mobile web over downloadable mobile apps for shopping. Still, I think there's a massive opportunity for m-commerce in the app world if retailers approach it right.
My hypothesis is that apps earn a permanent spot on a smartphone when they offer fresh content a consumer wants to access daily. So m-commerce apps should include elements that will keep consumers coming back. Retailers could offer one steep discount each day only available to app users or a sweepstakes solely for app customers. Perhaps retailer could give app users first dibs on new goods? Retailers including Sephora have gone in this direction, offering a free gift for shoppers who download their app. That will help, but it won't keep that app on a consumer's smartphone (and on the top of her mind) for long. The winning strategy is to continually give shoppers a reason to open that app nearly each and every day.
Apple's Q1 earnings report released last week reports that the company sold 16.24 million iPhones in the quarter, up 86% from the same period a year earlier. IPhones aren't going away—they are nearly doubling each year. Apple apps have reached the 10 billion download mark. The case for a retail app is there. Now all retailers need is a strategy to keep shoppers engaged with it. I wonder, is there an app for that?

Topics include the importance of quantity and quality of schooling for adult success; the ways in which race/ethnicity, sex, and social class background structure students' educational experiences; the role of tracking and ability grouping within schools; and the link between schooling and the economy.
EDPS 4028 Sociology of the life course
Sociologists define the life course of individuals by when, and in what order, people assume key social roles, such as becoming an adult or moving from the workforce to retirement. This course looks at the sociology of the life course. Focusing on how historical and societal factors combine with the personal characteristics of individuals to produce unique life course patterns.

EDPS 5050 Sociology of knowledge
The sociology of knowledge analyzes the process by which "reality" becomes constructed within a social context. With a focus on education and social welfare policies, this class will explore the "reality" of public policies with real material consequences and how this reality has been constructed around a set of assumptions defining the "problems" that need to be solved. This course helps students step back from a focus on "implementing" educational reform and examine instead how such a reform movement became the focus.
EDPS 5057 Qualitative Methods for Education Policy and Social Research
This course is designed to assist students in conceptualizing and designing research projects – for Master's Theses or Doctoral Dissertations – that examine, interrogate and evaluate public policies in the fields of education and social welfare through methodological approaches we commonly think of as qualitative. The curriculum emphasizes the benefits and limitations of qualitative methods for studying particular policy issues and programs with the goal of defining when a qualitative approach is most helpful. We will explore qualitative case studies as a research design as well as several different data collection methods employed by qualitative researchers, including interviews, observations, ethnography, and document analysis. The class also addresses what sort of research questions can best be answered through qualitative data collection and how qualitative researchers can frame their inquiry in a manner that speaks to public policy debates and issues. Furthermore, the course will require students to appreciate the significance and meaning of a more contextual approach to education policy analysis. This course, therefore, fulfills the qualitative research methods requirement for the Sociology and Education Program and other programs across the EPSA Department and College.
EDPS 5620 Advanced colloquium in sociology of education
This course is designed to enhance student knowledge of social theory in sociological research. Particular attention is devoted to deductive models of explanation and their use in the construction of theory and its application as a basis for empirical inquiry.

Topic: flash[:notice] not showing after reset_session
I've seen a post suggesting the flash variable is also cleared when the session is reset, but haven't managed to find any suggestions on what to do to get this to work..
I am using 2 filters (prepare_session, then login_required) before processing an action.
But my session has expired (as expected), so instead of seeing the view associated with my action, I am redirected to my login page, which should display my flash[:notice] variable, but I am not seeing it. I do however, see the flash[:notice] for this same situation but where the session hasn't expired (when user is not logged in).
Would really appreciate some help!
thanks, Serena.

Cleveland City Stars started off the 2008 season by beating Pittsburgh 2-1.
The game was somewhat ragged in the first half --- lots of new guys on the team, the play wasn't always connected well.
2nd half, Pittsburgh had a guy go off with a red card on a pretty dirty tackle. They then were able to score even though a man down.
Cleveland got the equalizer in about the 75th on a real nice header by Randolph Jerome, and then got the game winner in the 2nd minute of stoppage time.
Both fan bases really turned out well, about 1,200 in attendance.
Good way to start the season...

Expert Q & A Answers About women fantasies
My husband doesn't turn me on. Am I a lesbian?
I'm not that turned on by my husband of 17 years...but, for as long as I can remember, I've had fantasies about women. In my teens, I had a few experiences with girls, but not since then. I feel guilty that I don't desire my husband and I'm confused. Am I a lesbian? I don't know what to do.

Infineon Raceway Baked Beans
- 2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
- 4 to 6 slices thick-cut applewood smoked bacon, 1/4-inch diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 1/2 cups 1/4-inch diced red onion
- 1/2 cup seeded and finely diced jalapenos (2 medium)
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper
- Apple cider vinegar, best quality
- 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, with liquid
- 1 (15-ounce) can lima beans, with liquid
- 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, with liquid
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- Crusty bread, for serving
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large Dutch oven (preferably enameled cast iron) over medium-high heat, render the bacon until just starting to crisp, 6 to 7 minutes, stirring as needed. Remove 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat and set aside. Add the onions and jalapenos and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes more. Add in the garlic cook 1 to 2 minutes. Remove all from the pot to a small bowl. Set aside.
Wipe down the inside of the pot, add the reserved 1 tablespoon bacon fat and, when starting to smoke, add in 1/3 to 1/2 of the steak and cook, stirring as needed until just starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Remove to the vegetable bowl, repeat with the remaining steak.
Once the steak is cooked, deglaze with 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Then return all the vegetables and cooked steak back to the pot and add in the beans, including the liquid in the can. Add the molasses, brown sugar, soy and ketchup, and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over low heat, cover and cook for 2 hours, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes to assure that the bottom doesn't stick.
Add in more apple cider vinegar, a few tablespoons at a time to personal taste, and serve with crusty bread.

Shame I'm tied up this Sunday with family affairs that need to be taken care of. Looking forward to pics from the Ohio meet up!
Walter has kindly put me in touch with a man in Columbus that is selling a stack oven set just like the one's Walter has at the school. If I can make the deal happen I would love to drop in at the party.....if ya'll will have me!
Walter, just talked with my wife, and if we can find substitutes for Sunday morning commitments, we would like to come. You are a couple hour drive south I think. We will know by tonight, if that is OK? I am an ol' guy, trying to learn!
Bob: Those ovens need to be checked out before you travel all that way. I am about 40-50 miles from Columbus. I could possibly look them over for you. They are most likely not hooked up to gas so there is no telling what shape the thermostat, pilot light valve assembly (red button you hold to light pilot), the pilot light itself, the thermocoupler, and burnerr, are in. That stuff is all easily replaced. The stuff you can't fix is if the oven itself is in rotted. Get very detailed pictures and yes you are welcome to come and stay in my recording studio. It has a bed and full bath. Walter
What can I say....you are so very kind Walter. Thank you!Will be in touch....
I really hope that this is not taken the wrong way, but I was under the belief that most people of Chinese origin are lactose intolerant, and the internet seems to confirm this.Perry
Man, this is gonna be awesome! And for a minute I thought I was being pushy by asking you if this Sunday would work.
Walter,Really great post you wrote: http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,29015.msg291887.html#msg291887. I'm sure many readers enjoyed it. If I were located near your summit, I'd be there.Dave

Community assists Bishop Baraga in celebrating Catholic Schools week
By Victoria LaFave
For The Daily News
IRON MOUNTAIN — Bishop Baraga Catholic School students enjoyed a memorable Catholic Schools Week this year with activities and special days set aside to celebrate their Catholic school.
They started the week by going sledding with their fellow Diocesan Catholic School students from Holy Spirit School in Norway. Due to the snowy and cold weather, students enjoyed a snow day on the Tuesday during Catholic Schools Week. Then, on Wednesday, students showed their creativity with 'Crazy Hat Day.'
On Thursday, students enjoyed their annual Enrichment Day, an event in which community members come to the school and teach students about their trade and do hands-on activities with the children.
"We would like to say a big thank you to the people from our community who volunteered their time and talents, and shared their trades with our students for Enrichment Day," said Bishop Baraga School Principal Adam Husing. Some of the area businesses that volunteered their time for Enrichment Day 2013 included:
– Champs Taxidermy owner showed the students different animal skins and how the process of taxidermy works.
-Salon 323 stylists taught the girls different hairstyles and braids.
– Bianco's Fitness employees taught the kids a fitness program and all about good nutrition.
– Tina Pickett and Jane LeBouf taught the fun art of candy making, with the kids making chocolate suckers at the school.
– Carol Gyan taught cupcake decorating, bringing different toppings and techniques to decorate the delicious cupcakes.
-State Police Officer Geno Basanese taught Bishop Baraga School students about safety and what State Police officers do to protect the public.
-Hailey Menghini taught the girls a jazz dance class.
– Fleming Construction brought an array of different tools for the students to try out. With their new knowledge, students were able to make a small wood project.
– Home Depot donated the wood kits and hammers for the students' wood projects.
Finally, the students went to Skate Boulevard in Iron Mountain on Friday to enjoy some skating and to wrap up Catholic Schools Week.

Helicopters NZ to Support Shell AW139 Ops
Canadian Helicopters Group subsidiary Helicopters NZ has inked a contract to provide aerial support services for Shell Global Solutions International offshore operations in the Philippines. The deal calls for crew change helicopter services starting in September 2013 using an AgustaWestland AW139 from Manila to offshore oil and gas platforms. A second AW139 will join the effort in 2014, and the four-year agreement is expected to generate around $40 million.

Traveling While Pregnant
Most pregnant women can safely travel during most of their pregnancy. However, as with everything else during your pregnancy, a little extra planning, precaution, and care will ensure your safety and that of your baby. Always check with your doctor before traveling, and make sure he or she knows when you are going, where, and for how long.
Foreign Travel
Foreign travel poses important issues for pregnant women. For example, your body may not be accustomed to bacteria and diseases that are prevalent in some foreign countries, making you susceptible to upset stomach, diarrhea, and dehydration. Language problems can also make accurate diagnosis and correct treatment difficult. The following are some additional issues to consider when traveling internationally while pregnant:
Traveling to high altitudes is not recommended while you are pregnant. Altitudes over 13,000 feet should be avoided, and heights of 8,000 feet and higher should be avoided in late or high-risk pregnancies. Pregnancy at (unaccustomed) high altitude has been associated with intrauterine growth retardation and higher rates of pregnancy-induced hypertension.
Before traveling abroad, know your blood type and determine whether the blood supplies are screened for HIV and hepatitis B at your destination. Hepatitis E (HEV) can be especially dangerous for pregnant women. HEV is caused by ingesting water contaminated with feces.

ANGOLA – The Lake Shore Senior High bands, under the direction of Eric Blodgett and Carrie Poissant, will perform at another National Band Competition the weekend of April 19 in the city so great they named it twice, New York City. Students from the senior high bands will be on tour April 18-21.
Over the past 13 years, the bands have competed nationally on six occasions and produced 8 professional recordings. With a great deal of hard work, the senior high bands have always done very well and represented their school and community with pride.
This year the groups are off to compete in the Big Apple Classic at the College of Staten Island. The Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble will compete against all other bands in attendance at the festival and will be adjudicated by a panel of nationally renowned judges. They will find out their results at an exciting Awards Ceremony following the festival at the famed dinner show, Medieval Times.
The last time the bands competed in NYC they all placed first in their respective classes, a student was awarded the top soloist award, and the Wind Ensemble received the Grand Champion award for placing first with the highest score out of every music group in attendance at the festival.
The students in the senior high bands will enjoy a very exciting and educational itinerary in addition to the music festival while in NYC. Some of the fantastic highlights and events include time at the Ameri-can Museum of Natural History, watching a live sound check at the Jazz at Lincoln Center of the internationally renowned jazz group "Kings of Crescent City," seeing the city at night from the top of Rockefeller Plaza touring the "Top of the Rock," a tour of the Radio City Music Hall, a speaking engagement with 9/11 first responder Chief Dan Daly NYFD, the "Phantom of the Opera" musical at the historic Majestic Theater followed by a meet and greet with actors and actresses from the show, a tour called the "Sounds of the City Music Safari" – a 4-hour tour that will take the kids deep into the music and arts history of the city including the Lincoln Center, Metropolitan Opera, Juilliard, the Cotton Club, Great White Way, Duke Ellington Memorial, and John Lennon Memorial, and finally, a harbor cruise that will sail under the Brooklyn Bridge just past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
Along with a tour of this magnitude comes a large financial commitment from the students and community.
To see the senior high bands in concert, attend one of their upcoming concerts: The District Jazz Concert featuring Jazz Trombonist Ken Crane, April 25, first Spring Concert May 13 and the second on June 3.
All concerts are held in the Lake Shore Senior High School Auditorium at 7 p.m.

Arithmatica, a startup concentrated on using advances in silicon math1 algorithms to increase speed and/or lower costs for math1-intensive integrated circuits, revealed that NVIDIA, Xilinx and Layer N companies utilized the firm's advanced technologies to design their next-generation products.
Silicon intellectual property of Arithmatica helps companies to significantly improve silicon efficiency far beyond what can be done with traditional EDA tools, without changing current design practices. Applying it to math1-critical blocks in graphics chips can reduce overall chip area by up to 10%, saving millions of dollars in manufacturing costs for each design. It also improves performance in processor designs in varying degrees, depending on the application.
Compared to traditional methods, CellMath functions are based on faster carry-propagate logic that is central to efficient addition, faster parallel counters, core to multiplication, and optimizations in floating-point and single-instruction multiple data (SIMD) computational operations. CellMath also improves productivity and lowers risk by providing simulation models that are formally verified against the gate-level netlist. Companies can take advantage of CellMath without changing their design flow, standard cell libraries or process technology.
The CellMath technology does not depend much on the technology process, though, Arithmatica's specialists are working closely with the company's clients to tailor the tech for particular products. SiliconStrategies reports that there are works on a 65nm chip from an unknown developer.
Companies including NVIDIA Corporation, Xilinx and Layer N Networks successfully have incorporated CellMath technology in their flagship products, achieving impressive performance and cost goals, according to Redwood City, California-based company.
"The PC graphics community demands a constant pace of improved quality of experience at very competitive price points. Using Arithmatica's CellMath Graphics Library, we were able to achieve a new threshold of performance in our next-generation of graphics processors while reducing the chip area dedicated to calculations in many of our major blocks by typically 20-30%. As an early customer, we worked closely with Arithmatica's engineering team and we were able to embed their silicon IP in a variety of designs without any schedule impact within our projects. The result is that our new product line has the highest performance GPU in the market today and we are positioned to be very aggressive in terms of expanding our market leadership. It is refreshing to work with a young company that delivers on its commitments and we look forward to a long working relationship with Arithmatica," said Gopal Solanki, Vice President Platform Products for NVIDIA.
It is not clear which processors of NVIDIA incorporate the new technology. Last year the company suffered from low gross-margins as a result of an un-mature 0.13 micron fabrication process of TSMC, high transistor count on the company's GeForce FX product line and some design issues with its chips. This year the Santa Clara, California-based graphics company's IC designs became even more complex and it seems to be fully natural for NVIDIA to employ a technology that would simplify the designs. It may emerge that the whole GeForce 6-series (NV4x-family) of graphics processors already uses the CellMath capabilities to boost efficiency of integrated circuits, however, NVIDIA has never announced this.
The CellMath graphics library, processor library and configurable instances are available now for licensing, priced from U.S. $175 000; Arithmatica's licensing model includes a project-based, non-royalty fee pricing structure, eliminating periodic time-consuming accounting and payment procedures.

About the Author: Mitul Desai serves as Senior Advisor for Outreach in the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs and served as the co-chair for the U.S.-India People to People Conference.
As President Obama prepares for a much anticipated trip to India, we recently held a productive session highlighting U.S.-India partnership. A truly unique event, the U.S.-India People to People (P2P) Conference brought together over 200 Indian Americans from around the country at the Department of State. People traveled from Florida, Indiana, Iowa, and the mid-Atlantic region to celebrate the crucial role of the diaspora in U.S.-India relations. Participants also engaged with prominent thought leaders and practitioners on four key global issues: renewable energy; global health; education; and economic empowerment. The idea was to facilitate a dynamic exchange of ideas around novel ways for the diaspora to contribute in these four areas. The audience and panelists did not disappoint.
The P2P conference featured vibrant and enlightening exchanges between the attendees and panelists, who represented various aspects of the public and private sectors. Under Secretary of State for Economic, Energy and Agricultural Affairs Robert Hormats opened the conference by offering his insights on the strong business ties between the United States and India. Indian Ambassador to the United States Meera Shankar closed the event with a speech highlighting the important contributions Indian Americans have made across numerous fields. Though she was unable to attend, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton provided taped remarks, in which she noted to the Indian American community present: "Your leadership in classrooms, board rooms, and governments across the United States -- along with your connection to communities in India -- gives you invaluable insights that can benefit all of us."
Dr. Rajiv Shah, the Administrator of USAID, delivered the keynote One consistent theme highlighted in the panels was the need for governments to continue to work to stay abreast of all the exciting private and civil sector activity happening outside the public sector. The energy panel discussed how India's energy needs offer opportunities for the diaspora to contribute in areas like advocacy and interesting new developments such as open-source innovation. The global health panel discussion centered on finding more ways to translate the diaspora's success in medicine and in the Silicon Valley, to innovations aimed at India's "bottom of the pyramid." The Education panel featured our very own Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Ann Stock as moderator, who led the panel in discussions around the role the State Department can play in conjunction with non-profits, community colleges, and diaspora-led foundations. Economic empowerment, particularly that of India's poorest, was the focus of the final panel, and featured insights from world-class economics and business-school professors.
We will stay connected with participants in the weeks and months ahead, as well as continue our collaborative efforts via the P2P website, professional networking groups, and by hosting a series of issue specific conference calls. The goal is to help build common solution-seeking networks dedicated to areas like global health and education.
Attendees and panelists alike said they felt energized by the conference. We feel the same way. I think it's safe to say that our goal of mutually informing and inspiring one another was more than met as the Secretary stated, "Governments alone cannot solve any of these problems. We need ideas, and help, from people like you." And we encourage you to continue to participate in this dialogue.
