A Columbus fire battalion chief likely will be suspended for six weeks and demoted for his role in the coverup of a sex scandal at a West Side fire station.
Battalion Chief Gerald C. Birkhimer did not follow the chain of command and ignored division policy, allowing Firefighter Marc Cain to have an affair with a woman while on duty, Fire Chief Gregory A. Paxton determined in departmental charges he signed on Friday.
Paxton found Birkhimer guilty of 21 violations, including dishonesty, insubordination and neglect of duty. He recommended that Birkhimer receive a 240-hour suspension without pay and be demoted to captain. The final decision rests with Mitchell J. Brown, the city's public safety director.
Paxton determined that Birkhimer knowingly violated policy by letting Cain's mistress spend the night at the station and ride on emergency vehicles without authorization. Birkhimer also was disciplined for allowing his daughter to spend the night at the fire station.
Paxton recommended weeks ago that Cain be fired for violating more than a dozen division policies related to the affair. Brown is expected to decide Cain's fate next week.
Cain admitted sending the woman pictures of his genitals while on duty and that they had oral sex while on city property. He said they did not have sex inside Station 17 on the Hilltop or during the many times he let her ride on fire equipment during emergency runs. The woman told investigators that they did have sex at the station.
Birkhimer was transferred from Station 17 more than a year ago after he and Firefighter Katelyn Neil admitted they put chicken underneath the seat of Cain's car. The chicken was there for weeks and rotted. Neil was also transferred to another station.
That happened before Cain's co-workers became aware of his affair.
Firefighters told investigators the chicken was meant as a message not to snitch about things that happened at the station. One firefighter said many at the station believed that Neil and Birkhimer were having an affair.
Neil and Birkhimer told investigators the rotting chicken was an innocent prank. They also told investigators they did not have an affair. Neil and Birkhimer have declined to comment.
Firefighters implicated two other high-ranking officers in the coverup, but no internal charges have been filed against them.

Power Authority And State Parks Dept. Receive Award For Improvements At Robert Moses State Park Beach
Paul DeMichele, NYPA
Dan Keefe, Parks
December 1, 2010
CANASTOTA—Representatives from the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation were the recipients of an award for work done by the organizations to rehabilitate the Robert Moses State Park Beach Area Complex. The project was selected by the Central New York Branch of the American Public Works Association (APWA) to receive the 2010 Structures/Facilities Project of the Year Award for initiatives of more than $1 million.
Work at the location included a new bathhouse, the renovation of the former bathhouse into a camper registration building, a new concrete curb along the entrance drive, stripping of the existing parking area, installation ramps for the disabled, resurfacing of the existing asphalt sidewalks, replacement of the historic trellis walkways parallel to the beach, and installation of various drainage systems for storm water and sanitary sewer.
The award was accepted on behalf of the organizations by Steve Ramsey, community relations manager, NYPA, and Brian Thomas, capital facilities manager, New York State Parks, at the APWA Annual Fall Banquet, held at the Rusty Rail in Canastota on Nov. 18.
North Country contractors used during the project include: Fiacco and Riley, from Norwood as the general contractor; Continental Construction, of Gouverneur, to perform the plumbing work; Collins Hammond located in Ogdensburg as the electrical contractor; and Hoover Heating and Cooling from Redwood to perform HVAC work.
In October 2003, the Power Authority received a 50-year federal license for the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project, leading to a host of new economic, environmental and recreational benefits to the region stemming from various agreements. Since that time, NYPA trustees have authorized expenditures totaling about $170 million—including the rehabilitation costs for Robert Moses State Park and Coles Creek State Park, an 1,800-acre park in Waddington and Louisville—to fulfill the terms of the new license. The Power Authority is investing over $7 million in the restoration and improvement of Robert Moses State Park.
Robert Moses State Park, located in the Town of Massena, is one of the St. Lawrence-FDR Project's recreation facilities operated by OPRHP. At 2,300 acres, the park includes the Barnhart Island Marina and Boat Basin, with slips for 66 boats, a boat launch ramp and a place to rent power boats and canoes. Robert Moses State Park has ample camping opportunities for tents, trailers, recreational vehicles and 15 fully-outfitted cabins available for rent. The facilities renovated for this project are near the park's riverfront beach complex.
The Central New York Branch of APWA represents the countries, cities, towns and villages within a ten county area on Central New York. Membership consists of a wide range of public works leads, including elected officials; municipal employees; consulting engineers; suppliers of public work materials, equipment and services; and other individuals committed to excellence in the public works field.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. Its lower-cost power production and electricity purchases support hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the state. ■For more information, www.nypa.gov.

Our new tradition, however, is to spend a couple of hours roaming Cost Plus World Market for fun and interesting foods to send to the kids. Foods from around the world, traditional foods, long time favorites such as Walker's shortbread. We have so much fun and it just isn't the holidays until we make it to CPWM. We did that yesterday and I have to say it does seem like each year the selection goes down a bit. We couldn't find a few items. Everybody in the family will get their shortbread.
Do you have any "new" traditions? Say the last 5 to 10 years? What is your signal that the holidays are here?
Happy Hanukkah.

What's going on all! Welcome to my blog series "DIGGIN' THE CLASSICS"! When new releases in the music world get slow, we all tend to dig into our collections for some vintage pleasure. Join me for my weekly (or whenever I feel like it) quest for soundtrack satisfaction. This is a blog for music lovers! "Walk With Me".
This edition celebrates: Yusef Lateef- The Gentle Giant (1972)
1. Nubian Lady
2. Lowland Lullabye
3. Hey Jude
4. Jungle Plum
5. The Poor Fishermen
6. African Song
7. Queen of the Night
8. Below Yellow Bell
Now I will admit, I am really picky when it comes to instrumental recordings. There has to be something powerful about a rhythm that speaks without words. Yusef Lateef is most definitely gifted in this area. Lateef defines his brand of music as "-insert here-", but don't call it jazz. "The Gentle Giant" is evidence of his unique talents. With Lateef playing various instruments (flute, tenor, and oboe) and a 9-minute cover of "Hey Jude" (?), there is enough variety on this album to prevent it from boring the "A.D.D." listener. One stand out track is, "Nubian Lady". The title say's it all. With it's melodic rhythms and ultra cool vibes, songs like these leave no room for words. That would just mess things up.
"I'm smiling, but don't call it jazz fool!"
Another track that stands out is "Queen of the Night" (must be something about the ladies). A funky track that has a bass line tailor made for hip-hop. It is this variety that makes this album one of his most interesting works. This Lp speaks to generations, and most likely opened the door for world music. Some refer to this album as being erratic compared to his prior works. I feel this is just a classic display of any artists' journey to evolve. This album is a honest contribution to the foundation of jaz......I mean "-insert here-". It dares to be different. ...And it is the "different" that makes it an instant classic.
"What do you mean by different?"

LikeMyCommentOrNotJustAsGood: Ah, I did not vote for Donald Trump or Hilary Clinton but unlike these democrats and their followers, I respect the electoral process and the Constitution of The United States of America so Donald Trump will rightfully and lawfully be our next president. The problem with the radical left is the are hypocrites and they can not except the truth the Donald Trump won the election by due process just like every president before him. Another problem with the left is they claim to be so tolerant, non-racist and respectful of everyone's rights regardless of race, religion, political affiliation etc. But they are liars. The left is only tolerant of you if you agree with them but if you do not not agree with their Anti American rhetoric and the their violence, racist response to everything then they will call you a white racist but it is they who are the actual racists and traitors to to everything this country stands for. They think they have the right to riot, to loot, block highways and city streets and impede people from shopping in malls or to walk down the street in peace etc. They are anarchists,hypocrites,racists and like I said before Un-American traitors whom this country would be a Hell of a lot better off had those people left the country like they promised to do if and when Donald Trump was elected.

By Arthur Miller
Directed by Eva Patton
The clever and conniving Abigail Williams convinces her town of strict Puritan elders that she and her band of young friends have been possessed by the devil. After her affair with the young farmer John Proctor comes to an end against her wishes, Abigail seeks revenge by launching a savage attack on Proctor's wife and other upstanding women of the town-accusing them of witchcraft. Arthur Miller's chilling parable of the Salem witch trials draws a direct parallel to the McCarthyism of 1950's America and sheds light on the terrifying power of persecution and false accusations.

Editor for this issue: Madhavi Jammalamadaka <madhulinguistlist.org>
Anne Barron. 2003. Acquisition in Interlanguage Pragmatics. John Benjamins. Pragmatics and Beyond New Series 108. Announced at http://linguistlist.org/issues/14/14-1428.html Susan Meredith Burt, Illinois State University. BRIEF OVERVIEW This is an extremely thorough project in speech act realization, the analysis of Irish college students' acquisition of German, specifically of the pragmatics of requests, offers and refusals, during their study abroad year. In each chapter, the author grounds her research and analytic decisions in an exhaustive discussion of the existing literature. The results show that a year abroad can indeed result in an increase in pragmatic competence in the L2 by learners. The final chapter includes pedagogical and research implications of the study. CHAPTER BY CHAPTER SUMMARY In the Introduction, Barron reflects on instances of mis- understanding that she experienced in her time abroad as a learner of German. Arguing that explicit instruction in foreign language pragmatics is rare because there is not enough research to support it, Barron sets out the motivation for her research in the form of research questions: ''1. Is there evidence of changes in learners' L2 pragmatic competence towards or away from the L2 norm over time spent in the target speech community? 2. Does pragmatic transfer increase or decrease with time in the target culture? 3. What implications do any changes or lack of changes in learners' L2 pragmatic competence have for our understanding of the development of L2 pragmatic competence? 4. Can one speak of stages of L2 pragmatic competence?'' (p.4) The second chapter, ''A pragmatic approach,'' situates her research in the existing literature and provides working definitions of central terms. Barron sees pragmatic competence as a subcategory of communicative competence. She outlines the foundations of speech act theory, and summarizes the various theoretical approaches to verbal politeness, and to discourse analysis. Finally, she contrasts three approaches to ''pragmatics across cultures,'' distinguishing between (1) ''contrastive pragmatics,'' which focuses on ''the pragmalinguistic realization of communicative functions'' (p.23) in different languages and cultures, (2) cross-cultural pragmatics, exemplified by the Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Project (CCSARP) (Blum-Kulka, House and Kasper 1989), which seeks to link linguistic differences to cultural differences, and (3) interlanguage pragmatics, which focuses on learners' pragmatic capabilities and contrasts them with the pragmatic performance of native speakers. The chapter includes a tabular summary of 51 studies that Barron locates in this particular area of pragmatics, specifically, those that focus on the pragmatic development of second language learners. Chapter 3, ''Acquisitional issues in learner pragmatics'' situates Barron's specific questions with respect to broader questions in second language acquisition research. First, learners' construction of interlanguage (a continuum of rule-governed language systems) is discussed with respect to the role played by first-language influence, overgeneralization, and ''teaching-induced errors,'' focusing specifically on pragmatic aspects of interlanguage. While there have been different approaches to attempting to understand how learners develop pragmatic competence, there seems to be no fixed order of development: increased grammatical proficiency may or may not cause a corresponding increase in pragmatic capabilities. For example, increased grammatical proficiency in the second language may give the learner the opportunity to implement a speech act strategy favored in the first language, but not appropriate in the second. Increased proficiency may allow the learner to construct--and to overuse--supportive moves, and this overuse is pragmatically less effective. Input to learners is often strikingly different from speech between native speakers, and thus, may be misleading as a pragmatic model: native speakers may, for example, make requests to non- native speakers that are far more explicit than native speakers would find acceptable. Nevertheless, the study abroad context is likely to offer learners a more complete range of input than the foreign language classroom. The study abroad context is characterized as unique, incorporating, as it does, both instruction and ''natural'' contexts. And, despite lack of completely adequate measurements, time in a study abroad experience does seem to result in increases in both linguistic and pragmatic competence. This seems to be the case even though a study abroad experience cannot guarantee exposure to entirely appropriate input: learners might be ''ghettoized'' from native speakers, by choice (because of culture shock) or otherwise, or they might be exposed to verbal practices in one context that are inappropriate in others: low-prestige variants might serve in informal contexts, but not serve well if the learner overgeneralizes their use beyond those contexts. Barron brings up the question of whether it even makes sense to assume that learners aspire to attain a native-speaker norm in pragmatic behavior, and discusses several reasons why they may not. Chapter 4, ''Experimental design,'' is extremely thorough in its discussion of the research instruments, the participants, the selection of speech act types to investigate, and the method of analysis. Barron chose or developed a number of instruments with which to collect data. She considers the burgeoning literature on discourse completion tasks (DCTs), and chooses to use a DCT at least partially compatible and comparable to that used in the CCSARP. In addition, she develops the ''free DCT,'' in which participants write dialogue for both speakers, not just one. Barron also developed ''retrospective interviews,'' in which participants do a role-play, which is videotaped, which they then observe and discuss with an interviewer. Further instruments include pre-and post-year abroad questionnaires, and assessment questionnaires, designed to see whether Irish and German readers assess the power and social distance in certain situations similarly or not. Participants included Irish learners of German, and German native speakers and native speakers of Irish English as well. Barron chooses to focus on the speech act types of requests, offers, and refusals, in part because these last two types will allow her to look, not only at the performance of the speech act in questions, but also at differences in discourse structure involving these acts: cultural differences may interfere with learning; specifically, in Irish English, a ''ritual refusal'' may follow a hospitable offer, with a second offer (or ''pressing'') then accepted, but this discourse sequence is not characteristic of German. Barron is also interested in pragmatic ''routines,'' including both fixed and formulaic patterns in speech act performance. Mitigation in its various forms is also of interest, as the politeness/request marker ''bitte'' has been shown (House 1989) to be pragmatically complex, and pragmatic particles such as ''doch, eben, mal, schon, einfach'' and so on, are rarely taught explicitly; these items are likely to be difficult for learners. Chapter 5, ''A pragmatic analysis,'' shows that the results of Barron's work are intriguing, illuminating both the quirky path of pragmatic development, and interesting pragmatic differences between English and German. For example, when it comes to ritual refusals of offers (typically followed by re-offers and acceptances), these Irish learners do attempt to implement the Irish English pattern in German, but these transfer attempts decrease over time spent in Germany. The learners' metapragmatic comments show this, as do the stories some learners tell of using the German discourse pattern in their English after they return home (and suffering a bit of pragmatic failure in the L1!). Part of this development is connected with learners' realization that there is no formula for re-offers in German, and German interlocutors' puzzlement at ''Bist Du/Sind Sie sicher?'' which learners initially use as a re-offer, provoking pragmatic failure. The experience of pragmatic failure, however, seems to help lead to eventual understanding of the discourse differences. Part of what must be learned includes ''differences in illocutionary potential'' (p. 182) for similar routines in the two languages. ''Danke,'' for example, cam be used to refuse an offer, while ''Thank you'' can be used to accept one. ''No problem'' serves as a minimizing response to thanks, but attempting to use ''Kein Problem'' in this way leads to pragmatic failure, despite the fact that these similar formulae do share several pragmatic uses on both sides of the language boundary. ''Das ist (aber) nett von Dir/Ihnen'' as a supportive move in refusals of offers is a formula which learners eventually acquire, despite the fact that the translation equivalent sounds ''gushing'' to speakers of Irish English. The acquisition of syntactic downgrading as a form of conventional indirectness is complex, with learners using too much directness (compared to native speaker norms) in standard situations (those where the requester has an authoritative role), and too much indirectness (compared to native speaker norms) in other situations. The picture is slightly different for lexical downgraders: prior to the year abroad, learners tended to overuse the politeness marker ''bitte'' in requests, and to place it at the beginning or end of the sentence, while native speakers prefer placement in the middle. Over time, learners come closer to native patterns of placement and use of this item, as they acquire other downtoners (like ''schon'') that they can use instead. Barron summarizes the answers to her research questions in the Conclusion, making clear which ones are answerable with her data, and which are not: there is clear movement towards the German native speaker norm, though not attainment of it, by these learners. Pragmatic transfer decreases over time in some instances, and increases in others. Pragmatic development takes a non-linear path, but pragmalinguistic development seems to outpace sociopragmatic development, an intriguing observation. Also useful are the pedagogical and programmatic implications Barron sees for her work: she suggests more explicit teaching and learning of pragmatic issues, and proposes ethnographic projects for learners during their year abroad, and combining pre-year abroad seminars with post-return seminars for the mutual benefit of new year abroad students and returners. CRITICAL EVALUATION Given the complexity of the data, one outstanding virtue of this volume is its painstaking clarity, both in arrangement and expression. One lapse from this was the unhappy choice of labels L(1), L(2) and L(3) to stand for the first, second and third periods of data collection from the Learners, when L1 and L2 are used to indicate first and second language, respectively. Similarly, in the discussions of the use of ''bitte,'' in both chapters 4 and 5, Barron relies heavily on the notion of ''standard situation,'' as House (1989) dubbed those situations in which the requester has the authority to make the request (such as a police officer asking a motorist to move her parked car); as this phrase is not particularly transparent, Barron perhaps should have repeated her explanation of it in these later chapters. But I quibble. For the most part, Barron does not allow the complexity of the material to prevent clear exposition. The clarity and depth of the presentation gives Barron's recommendations for pedagogical attention to pragmatic issues added force. Foreign language teachers, particularly teachers of German, of course, will find this volume valuable, as will students and researchers in speech act realization.

Back in October, I was a guest on the radio show World Have Your Say on BBC World Service. The occasion was the suspension by the Vatican of the Bishop of Limburg, Germany, Franz-Peter Tebartz-van-Elst, known as the "bishop of bling." The bishop had reportedly recently spent 31 million euros (roughly $41 million) for the renovation of the historic building that served as his residence, inciting his suspension and a Vatican investigation into these expenditures.
Using this as a springboard, the subject of the BBC discussion was "Should Religious Leaders Live a Modest Life?"
Today, Tim Roberts of the National Catholic Reporter records a similar, but perhaps more ambiguous, case with regards to the Camden Bishop Dennis Sullivan:
Camden Bishop Dennis Sullivan has purchased a new residence, an historic mansion that once served as the home of the president of Rowan University.
The New Jersey diocese purchased the 7,000 square foot home with eight bedrooms and six bathrooms for $500,000. The residence will provide Sullivan with more room for entertaining dignitaries, hosting donors and for work space, according to Peter Feuerherd, diocesan spokesman.
He said the bishop will live there "with at least two other priests, maybe more."
The home, built in 1908, has been on the market for about two years. According to a report in the Camden Courier Post newspaper, the home was purchased in 2000 for Dr. Donald Farish, then president of Rowan University. Under the university's ownership, the house underwent about $700,000 in renovations.
Some of the amenities include an in-ground pool, three fireplaces, a library and a five-car garage. (more…)

Hi Bryan,
Thanks for your interest and support. Sent you a private message
Hi Bryan,
Thanks for your interest and support. Sent you a private message
Thank you for the PM.
I strongly suggest you L.R.Baggs to check the Lyric Pre EQ preset for your next editions. You could improve seriously there to get a really good balanced and natural sounding system.
Roll off the 1 K frecuency (at least -12 db). Add some bass on 100/150 HZ. You'd be so muh better then.
Question: Can i (or a luthier) modify the Lyric Pre EQ preset?????????? How??????
Hi Mono,
I'm unable to say how to alter or modify the preamp circuit in order to change the response. We designed the system to respond accurately to a wide variety of guitars and, due to factors specific to each guitar, cannot be guaranteed to reproduce each guitar precisely. That's why it would be necessary to make those EQ adjustment with your amplifier/PA channel or if you have an interfacing preamp/EQ device.
I replaced the expression system in my Taylor 714 with a Lyric and was very dissapointed. It sound about identical to the A/B/C analysis mono provided. I have an iMix in one of my other Taylors and it sounds very good! I just thought I'd try the Lyric since it had some good reviews. I've since pulled the Lyric and gone back to the Taylor ES for now. I love the low end from Taylor's ES but, the mids sound like a kazoo!
With that being said, I'm trying to decide if I purchase another iMix or an Anthem. I'm looking for a very solid response on the low end and feel the element may be a factor. Which pick would you recommend for good low end when comparing the iMix and Anthem? I've decided to cut my losses on the Lyric and it's sitting like new back in the box until I find a home for it.
I was also a little confused about your statment concerning the two presence controls? My Lyric only has one presence control on the volume knob. Can you please clarify?
Any information you may be able to provide would be very helpful!
Thank you!
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your question. Sorry for the delay. I'm also sorry to hear the Lyric didn't pan out in your Taylor. I'm happy to provide the materials you would need to install it into another guitar.
Between the iMIX and the Anthem, my personal choice would be the Anthem. The pickup and microphone crossover mix allows the pickup and microphone to operate where they sound their best. It still provides the punchy string response of the Element but virtually eliminates any of the quacky midrange response normally associated with undersaddle piezo sensors. The undersaddle pickup handles the low frequency duties, relieving the microphone of its risk of low frequency feedback.
The iMIX would be the preferred choice if you want the option of splitting the output of two full-range sources. The iMIX can output in stereo, allowing you to connect each signal to separate channels, EQ them separately, apply different effects to each signal, etc.
The iMIX is a very good system but I would say the Anthem is capable of more accurate plugged-in sound in a wider variety of playing situations.
I really appreciate your response and recommendation concerning the Anthem vs. iMix.
Again, I'm really after that solid low end bass response that I'm able to obtain with iMix as well as the Expression System on the Taylor. I just do not care for the mids on the Taylor. The iMix sounds pretty good in my 414 however, I would like to try the Anthem just for a change of pace but, do not want the same $300 buyers remorse with the Anthem that I experienced with the $200 Lyric.
I'm also seriously looking at ordering the Fishman Rare Earth Blend system but, I'd like to remain loyal to LR Baggs since I've used them for many years. At the risk of repeating myself, you feel I will be satisfied with the low end response and responsiveness of the Anthem vs. iMix or Rare Earth?
I realize that this is a relative question based upon preference but, I also know you have more experience with these different systems than myself.
Thanks again for your advice.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for replying. I want to mention, if you weren't aware, that the Anthem is available in a "streamlined" format called the Anthem-SL. In the SL model, the Anthem preamp circuit is pre-set to fully utilize the crossover - Element handling low frequencies up to 250Hz and Tru-Mic handling everything from that point and above - as well as miniaturized for attachment to the output jack. Its soundhole-mounted control is just like the Lyric's but with a cream face.
The Anthem-SL is the same suggested cost as the Lyric so you don't have to choose the more costly Anthem.
At this point, I'm not worried about the $100.00. I just want the best sound I can get out of my 714. I want good response and great low end like the iMix delivers. I do NOT want another quacky sounding pickup for $200 like the Lyric. I was very dissapointed in the Lyric. It would be fine for someone singing Bob Dylan songs in a coffee house but, for someone that wants to "play out" in alternate tunings and exercise fingerstyle capabilities such as Tommy Emmanuel style...the Lyric isn't it. I want something with some ooompfh on the bottom end and is responsive with fingerstyle. Are you saying the Anthem is the ticket?
Hi Chris,
I hope you had a good holiday.
If I were in your situation, I would probably consider the iMIX because you have good results with it in another guitar. You have a reference point that can affect how you perceive other systems. I suggest seeing if you can experience a version of the Anthem system already installed in a guitar. Do you have a Larrivee dealer in your town or city? If so, they offer a few models with the Stagepro Anthem installed.
I personally feel the Anthem is a "best-of-both-worlds" system that mixes the best parts of each signal together to create one that sounds more like the guitar it's installed into than others.

". . . Unfortunately, I don't have a frame of reference for the cracker style since I have never had a commercial cracker crust pizza . . ."Peter
I am not adverse to pre-baking the crust, but wonder why some of the pizza places that specialize in such can do without the pre-baking. Maybe it's their special ovens.
Looks fine Norma. The white spots are usually un-hydrated bits of flour or possibly yeast colonies struggling to survive. With the hydration this low you won't see much in terms of volume increasing. Just go with the recipe, it's strange I know (Especially after perfecting very developed slack doughs), but it works most the time for whatever reason. I think it's essentially a pie dough with less fat.

Can you guys clarify for me. I thought I read that some of you are cooking on a pan that's on the stone. Is that correct? Why wouldn't you just cook directly on the stone? Also, what kind of pan are you using? I have a couple of 14" coated pans I bought from a pizza place on the internet a few years back. They're great, but I haven't used them much since I have the stone.
I just leave the stone in the oven. However, I feel it helps heat more evenly. I use the pan (Pizza Hutt 14" thin crust pans) because thats how I get a thin crust pizza like you would find in a restaurant.DKMWhere did you get your pan? Where can I get one? Thanks - Mark

About SecurePurdue
SecurePurdue is a major initiative focused on improving the security of data and campus IT resources on all Purdue campuses. The goals of SecurePurdue are to:
- Create ongoing, dynamic plans to protect the University and its constituents' information, while ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of this information.
- Increase a "defense in-depth" approach to information security across all campuses.
- Enhance our methods of protection, detection, and defense.
- Assure confidentiality, privacy, integrity, and availability of data and systems while not unnecessarily hindering learning, discovery, research, or communication.
Although Purdue has a central IT organization in ITaP, there are many other academic and business unit IT organizations as well. In all, there are 34 separate IT groups on the West Lafayette campus alone. SecurePurdue will coordinate IT security efforts across all Purdue campuses and help set University-wide priorities. A security officers group has been created with one representative from each of the IT units, and this group will serve as an advisory group for SecurePurdue.
Strategic guidance for the SecurePurdue program comes from Purdue's IT Strategic Governance Committee. SecurePurdue activities span the University and are coordinated by the Chief Information Security Officer, ITaP Security and Policy, the Security Officer's Working Group, and the University's Data Stewards organization.
SecurePurdue will have four components: technology; policy and procedures; remediation; and training and awareness.
Technology: Purdue will be updating the tools it uses to defend against illegal computing activities, and making greater use of technologies such as more robust intrusion detection, firewalls, and vulnerability scanning tools.
Policy and procedures: To implement many of the most up-to-date security technologies, Purdue policies on the use of computing resources will have to be modified or new policies and procedures created. Other policies are simply out-of-date in today's IT world. Additionally, because of the concern about computer security, many new laws and regulations are being affecting data protection, and these may also result in a change of Purdue policies.
Remediation: There are many types of private information at the University, and protecting and authorizing access to this data also will be a part of the SecurePurdue mission. Although this restricted data takes many forms, one of the most familiar pieces of restricted data is an individual's Social Security number. Like other universities, for decades Purdue has relied on the nine-digit Social Security number, or SSN (000-00-0000) to identify individuals. However, now Purdue is replacing this number with a ten-digit PUID (00000-00000) wherever possible.
Training and awareness: SecurePurdue will affect each member of the Purdue community, and resources will be available to help everyone understand and implement the changes. This Web site serves as a clearinghouse for information and resources on computer security and issues related to the four components of SecurePurdue. Training on security issues will be offered as part of the program. This training will include documentation, videos, and courses on both technical and non-technical subjects.

Global Footprint Network President Mathis Wackernagel will join Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Achim Steiner, Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme and other speakers at a United Nations meeting of global financial leaders in Washington, D.C. this fall addressing the link between financial stability and environmental sustainability.
The biannual meeting of the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) Global Roundtable is a high-level conference that draws a select group of 600 banking, insurance and investment leaders and global thinkers for an intensive, two-day dialogue. This year's discussion is positioned to channel the views of the financial services sector into the discussions at the so-called "Rio + 20" Conference, a UN summit that will gather world leaders in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 20 years after the original Rio Earth Summit.
"[M]y hope is to contribute to defining the new kind of thinking and action that we must embrace to address the challenges of a global economy when climate change, resource scarcity, commodity price volatility and income inequality, amongst other ongoing concerns, will set the future context for our finance sector and global capital markets," said Former Prime Minister Brown, who will give the opening address.
Dr. Wackernagel will discuss the role of ecological assets at the core of nations' long term wealth, as well as how Ecological Footprint accounting is being used to aid investors in evaluating risks related to biodiversity and ecosystem service degradation.
This year's Roundtable is held under the theme "The Tipping Point: Sustained stability in the next economy." It will take place Oct. 19 and 20 in Washington, D.C.

Andy Coulson, former editor of Rupert Murdoch's now-defunct British tabloid News of the World and ex-communications chief for British Prime Minister David Cameron, was convicted Tuesday of conspiring to hack phones.
But his wasn't the only conviction at the high-profile hacking trial in London.
A guilty verdict was entered against a certain approach to journalism, one where all that matters is getting the scoop, the sexy, often salacious story that no one else has.
It's certainly a condemnation of the British tabloid culture, whose pressures impelled the News of the World to listen in on the conversations of unknowing citizens to uncover their deepest, darkest secrets.
Story: Editor cleared in U.K. phone-hacking trial
But it's also a valuable cautionary tale for journalism in general.
In the ferociously competitive, rapid-fire world of today's digital journalism, the perceived need to get something up quickly is enormous. So is the determination to find stories that will prove irresistible to an extremely large number of eyeballs.
This phenomenon, of course, is hardly new to journalism. It just happens to be on steroids in the current era.
Fierce competition can lead to powerful, important stories in the public interest. But it also can lead to bottom-feeder trash that does no one any good.
And it can create a desperation that leads to the cutting of corners, the evisceration of standards and not just in the form of phone-hacking. Think of all of the plagiarism and fabrication disgraces that have marked our recent journalism history.
Column: How Rupert Murdoch won phone-hacking case
The News of the World had collected many scalps. But the need to satisfy that voracious appetite impelled it to set up an elaborate hacking structure featuring private investigator Glenn Mulcaire.
Certainly Tuesday's verdict could have been much, much worse for Murdoch, who in the summer of 2011 seemed like he might be felled by the exploding scandal.
There were a number of acquittals, most significant that of Rebekah Brooks, Coulson's predecessor as editor of News of the World and a person so highly regarded by Murdoch that, at the height of the scandal, he famously declared her as his top priority.
But the episode is a vivid reminder that bad behavior often has real-world consequences. And the mogul at the top, while he has endured, has paid a price. Murdoch was forced to shutter the News of the World, once Britain's highest-circulation newspaper. He endured brutal scrutiny during the Leveson Inquiry into the episode. He has been forced to pay hundreds of millions of pounds in lawsuits filed by hacking victims and legal bills.
Story: Why you should care about U.K. phone-hacking case
And Coulson, who presided over the highflying News of the World and was a top aide to a British prime minster — what was Cameron thinking when he hired him in the wake of the scandal? — faces a stint in the slammer.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Tyranny is revealed
To the Editor:
Concerning the recent findings of how the Internal Revenue Service has prejudicially targeted conservative groups including the Tea Party, I am appalled at the tyranny our government is attempting to inflict upon the people of this nation.
At first, massive bailouts were made in the aftermath of the financial crisis in 2007-2008. Then, socialist health care was passed in the form of Obamacare.
This year, the police conducted illegal searches in the homes of Boston residents. Also, this year many members of government have attempted to take away our inalienable right to keep and bear arms.
After these attempts at destroying this republic by turning it into socialism or communism, I am not surprised by the acts of this current government in using the IRS to breach our inalienable right of privacy by illegally targeting conservative groups.
I have zero faith in this current administration, as well as the Democratic party. Checks and balances do not work because corruption is so rampant and the executive branch has amassed too much power. It is time for the people to rid our government of its tyrants.

McCartney dead — greatest hoax in music history?
November 8, 2006
By Steve Metsch, Staff writer
Daily Southtown
Can it really be 40 years since Paul McCartney died?
It happened at about 5 a.m. on a Wednesday morning, Nov. 9, 1966. McCartney stormed out of the Abbey Road studio in London, upset with his fellow Beatles over a song.
As he drove away, he took his eyes off the road and lost control of his car.
The accident was so violent, onlookers could barely recognize "the cute Beatle." Flames had burned off his hair, and his face was badly disfigured.
Hey, the Beatles told us all about it in the song, "A Day in the Life": "He blew his mind out in a car. He didn't notice that the light had changed. A crowd of people stood and stared ..."
A hastily prepared funeral was held. Witnesses were bribed to keep silent. A newspaper story on the accident mysteriously was shelved. And the band never missed a beat en route to even greater glory.
A man named William Campbell, who had won a Paul McCartney look-alike contest, was brought to London. Campbell, with some plastic surgery, coaching on Paul's singing style and lessons on playing the bass guitar left-handed, "became" Paul.
And the greatest hoax in music history had been successfully pulled off.
What, you didn't hear that story? You think Sir Paul McCartney is the real deal?
Relax, fans, McCartney didn't die 40 years ago. But looking back, it's hard to believe the countless fans who bought the story -- and those that still do.
You can see the clues
News of the "death" didn't start circulating until three years after it occurred. As the tale goes, a college kid in Michigan published a story in his student newspaper that outlined the "clues" depicted on the Beatles' album covers. Detroit disc jockey Russ Gibb recounted the alleged clues in 1969, and the story caught fire.
It got so bad that LIFE magazine sent a photographer to track down McCartney on his farm in Scotland. The subsequent article and photos were meant to dispel the rumors.
Still, the believers can cite many clues:
On the "Abbey Road" cover, the four Beatles are depicted as crossing the famous street in London. John Lennon, dressed in a gleaming white suit, is the "preacher"; Ringo Starr, in a business suit, is the undertaker or a mourner; the barefoot McCartney is the corpse; and George Harrison, in blue jeans, is the grave digger.
A car on one side of the road has the license plate number of "28 IF," which would have been McCartney's age at his death, according to cultures that maintain life begins at conception." There is a police vehicle on the other side.
Flip the album over, and you'll see a crack in the word Beatles and a shadow that resembles a skull.
On the cover of the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album, the band appears to be standing in front of a grave with flowers suitable for funeral, there's a bloody driving glove among the images, and a hand over McCartney's head, supposedly a symbol of death.
Flip the album over, and you'll see Paul is the only band member with his back to the camera. Why? Because Campbell's face didn't yet resemble McCartney's.
On the cover of "Yellow Submarine," a cartoon version of the band is standing on a hill above a submarine that represents a casket. Again, there's another "hand of death" over McCartney's head.
Finally, on "Let It Be" there are portraits of all four Beatles, but McCartney's is the only one on a red backdrop.
Bill Paige, manager of communications at Oakton Community College in DesPlaines, has worked in the music business and has met Sir Paul. He says the "Paul is Dead" story is a "fun little joke."
"I don't know that the Beatles or their people were clever enough to set the entire story up, but they sure were clever enough to play with it. They may have done some things to keep it going," Paige said.
Looking for signs in the lyrics
Then there are the dozens of song lyrics that -- truth be told -- are kind of creepy if taken out of context. Conspiracy fans can cite songs from most of the Beatles' catalog.
Consider the opening song on "Sgt. Pepper." It ends with the band singing "Billy Shears" in reference to the lead singer of the fictional Pepper band. Listen again. Are the Beatles really singing "Billy's here" to introduce Campbell?
After all, the next song, sung by Ringo, is "With a Little Help from My Friends," which has the lyric "lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song and I'll try not to sing out of key."
Is Ringo expressing concern about Campbell's attempt to replace McCartney?
Ron Starr (no relation to Ringo), who plays McCartney in the Chicago-based tribute band Band on the Run, says the Beatles' decision to stop touring in 1966 fueled rumors.
"They were kind of reclusive at the time," Starr said. "They went from being a live band to a studio band. I think when they learned about this, they had fun with it."
Starr is sure he's portraying the real Paul.
"There was a rumor that they found a guy and gave him plastic surgery so he'd look like Paul," he said. "I don't think, in the 1960s, they had plastic surgery like that. Plus, they'd have had to find a guy who looks just like, sounds like and plays the guitar left-handed, just like Paul," he said.
Here's a clue for you all
"On some levels, talking about this is insulting to Paul, relative to the songs he wrote after the 'accident' happened," said Dean Budnick, a senior editor for the music magazine "Relix."
"It's hard to believe they let another schmoe into the band," Budnick said. "Then again, maybe it accounts for the Wings catalog. But to me, that's ultimately where it falls apart. How can anyone believe that they found someone who could replace Paul?"
The key point that debunks the theories, Budnick believes, is that the Beatles went to even greater critical acclaim after the accident with "Sgt. Pepper," which many believe to be the band's masterpiece.
"If there never had been any other creative output from Paul, then, maybe, you can make the case. If the Beatles had ended, absolutely. But they didn't," Budnick said.
The story had "gravitas" because of public's hunger for anything and everything related to the Beatles, he said.
"They were so big and everyone wanted to know everything about them, particularly at a time when they weren't making a lot of public appearances. They weren't touring anymore and unless you were in England, you didn't see them."
Conspiracy theories
Call up Google, type in "Paul is Dead" and you'll find countless Web sites -- some that, well, do make some convincing arguments, and others that debunk the story.
There's one exhaustive site that compares photos of Paul before and after November 1966. And, yes, he does look different at certain angles.
There's another that has photos showing him suddenly much taller than the other Beatles.
And there's one that claims a voice expert has proof that it's a different voice singing the songs after late 1966.
Several sites identify words and phrases from songs to make their case.
For example, they cite "Took her home, I nearly made it," from "Lovely Rita." They ignore the fact that Paul's clearly not singing about making it home.
In another instance, theorists say Lennon is singing "I buried Paul" at the end of "Strawberry Fields." Lennon has said he was actually saying "cranberry sauce."
Plus, there's no evidence that a William Campbell ever won a McCartney look-alike contest.
And, as Rich Altman noted, wouldn't Paul's father and brother figured out he was dead? Oh, that's right, they were paid off, too.

Seaplane pilots who fly to and from Alaska through Canada need to speak up if they want to continue to use Schwatka Lake, the seaplane base at Whitehorse, Yukon Territories. While the facility directory indicates there are tiedowns and fuel available, pilots often have a difficult time getting access to either one.
The City of Whitehorse is conducting an Area Plan for Schwatka Lake that will impact the future of the lake for aviation as well as marine users. Planners are conducting an online survey, which only runs through November 5th. Pilots who have, or plan to use this facility need to speak up, to counter non-aviation interests.
The Canadian Owners and Pilots Association's Yukon Chapter is asking Alaskan and other U.S. seaplane pilots to participate in the survey to help the planners understand the importance of this facility—the only suitable float plane lake in the city. COPA Yukon Chapter Director Jean-Michel Sauve says that support from pilots outside Whitehorse is critical to helping them explain the value of the seaplane base to pilots transiting along the Alaska Highway. Sauve was one of the organizers of the highly successful Atlin Flyin in 2012, which attracted pilots from across Canada, Alaska and even a few western US states. If seaplane pilots need more information on the Whitehorse Seaplane Base, they may contact him directly.
Please take the survey today to help protect this seaplane facility!

WGBH, the Boston PBS station, has a 1/2 hour show hosted by Emily Rooney. Yup, she's Andy's daughter and sounds and looks pretty much like him. In spite of that she had a very nice "One Guest" episode featuring Tito, bringing him in mostly to talk about his book. They discussed much more than that though. Apparently she can do a really good interview when she has an excellent guest. The link below takes you to the WGBH page with the interview video. It's just under a half hour so grab a beer and sit back - Terry is really good. FWIW, my hubby isn't much of a pro sports fan (he's pretty much just Buckeyes football but I still love him ) but after watching this he said "Francona was classy as ever".

Policies Could Benefit City
The coming year will be an interesting one in Jamestown if Mayor Sam Teresi's State of the City address is any indication.
During Monday's City Council meeting, Teresi unveiled several worthy and achievable proposals.
A new development director will be hired soon, and Teresi plans to task the new official with being more aggressive in dealing with neighborhood issues. The Department of Development will initiate a 48-hour rule for citizen complaints. While a resolution may not be completed within two days, complaints will be logged, responded to and necessary processes started to rectify the situation within 48 hours. It is a necessary step and a sign the mayor is serious about protecting neighborhoods.
Development initiatives will also take a prime position in the 2013 agenda. Teresi said the city will work in greater partnership with existing partners like the Jamestown Renaissance Corp., area foundations, private lenders and developers to bring even more investment into the city's west side, bring private tenants to buildings including the Gateway Station, the Federal Building on Third Street and the M&T Bank building on Second and Main streets and increase activity along the city's main commercial corridors. While it is important to do everything within his power to make sure existing businesses continue to survive in Jamestown, Teresi is right to put a renewed emphasis on filling vacant buildings and expanding what the city has to offer.
Finally, 2013 should bring completion of a regional policing study involving the Jamestown Police Department and Chautauqua County Sheriff's Department. Completion of the report will kick off a much-needed discussion about policing in the Jamestown area. It is high time for area residents to figure out how much police protection they want and how much they can afford – and it looks like this may be the year to start talking.
With three years left in his fourth term as mayor, it would be easy for Teresi to be beaten down by the increasingly difficult job of leading a small city through the trials and tribulations of the 21st century. Teresi's 13th State of the City address suggests otherwise. With so much taken out of his control by state mandates and previously negotiated contracts, it's comforting to see Teresi give policy recommendations that could benefit city residents for years to come.
