COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 8, 2008)
- USA Volleyball has announced 12 of the 16 people who will make up the new USA Volleyball Board of Directors following the conclusion of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. In January 2007, the USA Volleyball Board of Directors voted to restructure itself, reducing its size from 30 voting members to 15 voting members and one non-voting at-large member and eliminating the Executive Committee. Four more new Board members will be elected by their constituents over the next several weeks.
"I am pleased that we were able to put together a group with significant and varied backgrounds from areas that are important to our sport," said USA Volleyball CEO Doug Beal. "I think every member has the experience needed to lead USA Volleyball in the next quadrennium."
Adam Rymer from Universal Pictures, David Schreff from Bedare LLC and Steve Simpson from Fox Sports Network (FSN) WEST and FSN PRIME TICKET will serve as independent directors on the new Board. Kevin Twohig, the Executive Vice President of the currently seated Board and the general manager of the Spokane Arena, will be the non-voting At-Large Director. Jeff Benz, Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel of the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) will serve as the National Beach Tour Director. Ted Leland of University of the Pacific will be the Indoor High Performance Director. John Dunning of Stanford University has been selected as the Coaching Director. Three-time Olympic volleyball gold medalist Karch Kiraly will be the Elite/Development Beach Director. AVP and international beach volleyball players Tyra Turner and Sean Scott will continue to serve as the Athlete Directors for the beach volleyball discipline. U.S. indoor national team members Reid Priddy and Sarah Noriega will be the new Athlete Directors for the indoor volleyball discipline.
The four Board members still to be elected are the Officials Director, the Junior Elite Indoor Director and the two Regional Volleyball Association Directors.
Director Profiles Independent Director Adam Rymer: Rymer grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and started playing volleyball on the beach. He continued playing indoor volleyball in high school and on a USVBA club team. Rymer attained his BA in applied mathematics and economics from Harvard and his MBA from The Wharton School. Currently, Rymer works at Universal Pictures as the Senior Vice President of Digital Platforms. In this role, he determines how to exploit all of Universal's assets across a range of new technologies.
Independent Director David Schreff: Schreff has served as a senior executive with world-class entertainment, sports and consumer products companies for over 25 years. Presently, he is the owner and president of Bedare LLC, an Intellectual Property development, consumer products and patent licensing company that develops new IP-backed products and crafts innovative marketing partnerships (sponsorships and alliances) worldwide in the entertainment, sports, publishing, fashion, education and music industries. Schreff graduated from Wesleyan University with a BA in government and the University of Connecticut with an MBA.
Independent Director Steve Simpson: As the senior vice president and general manager of FSN WEST and FSN PRIME TICKET, Simpson oversees all production, programming, advertising sales, marketing/communications and business operations of the 24-hour regional sports networks. Simpson spearheaded the launch of "DiG", a weekly volleyball lifestyle show designed to support the telecast partnership with the AVP and develop a non-event platform for beach volleyball, which aired for four seasons.
At-Large Director Kevin Twohig: Twohig has a long history with USA Volleyball dating back to 1979 when he played on a USVBA men's club team in Washington. He was appointed to the Evergreen Region Board of Directors in 1985, becoming a regional referee in 1983 and a regional scorekeeper in 1988. He capped off his regional participation when he was selected as the Evergreen Region Commissioner from 1991-1996. Twohig has served on the USAV Board of Directors since 1994 in the capacities of Treasurer and Executive Vice President. Professionally, Twohig has worked in the business of operating public assembly facilities for nearly 30 years, and is currently the General Manager of the Spokane (Wash.) Arena and the Executive Director of the Spokane Public Facilities District.
National Beach Tour Director Jeff Benz: Benz was named Chief Administrative Officer, Secretary, and General Counsel for the AVP in February of 2008 after joining the organization in early 2007. Before joining the AVP, Benz was a senior executive at A2 Holdings, LLC, a venture-funded startup committed to improving the sport of boxing at all levels. Benz also served for five years as the general counsel, secretary, managing director of legal and government affairs, and acting ethics officer for the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). Benz is a member of the panel of arbitrators for the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the boards of the Sports Lawyers Association and the National Sports Law Institute. Benz received his AB and MBA from the University of Michigan, and his JD from the University of Texas.
Indoor High Performance Director Dr. Edward "Ted" Leland: Leland became Vice President for University Advancement at University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif., on Jan. 1, 2006. Leland oversees fundraising and alumni relations on all three of Pacific's campuses. Leland earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Pacific and a doctoral degree in sports psychology from Stanford University. Prior to taking this position, Leland served as Stanford's athletics director. Under his leadership, Stanford won 50 national team championships, the most under a single athletic director in the history of intercollegiate athletics. Leland also served as athletic director at Pacific (1989-91) and at Dartmouth College (1983-89).
Coaching Director John Dunning: In the fall, Dunning will enter his eighth season as head coach of the Stanford women's volleyball team. In 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2007, Dunning's squads reached the NCAA national championship match and captured the title in 2001 and 2004.

From 1993 to 1994, Dunning served as President of the American Volleyball Coaches Association. Dunning earned his BA in mathematics and economics from San Diego State in 1973.
Elite/Development Beach Director Karch Kiraly: Considered by many to be the greatest volleyball player of all time, Kiraly is the winningest player in the history of the game. He is the only volleyball player to win three Olympic gold medals-with the U.S. Men's indoor team in 1984 and '88, and with partner Kent Steffes on the beach in 1996. Kiraly has been named the Most Valuable Player by the AVP six times and was named"Best Player in the World"in 1986 and 1988. He was inducted into the AVCA Hall of Fame Class in 2005. In 1992, Kiraly was inducted into the UCLA Hall of Fame and had his jersey retired. In June of this year, Kiraly will be the first volleyball player inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame.
Beach Athlete Director Sean Scott: Scott joined the USAV Board of Directors in 2006 as the international beach player representative to the Executive Committee. A native of Kailua, Oahu, Scott started playing volleyball at age 15 and continued to play collegiately at the University of Hawaii where he graduated with a degree in Sociology. Scott was named the AVP's 1999 Rookie of the Year and in 2001 he played in eight AVP events with four top-four finishes. In 2004, Scott won his first career title at the Tempe Open with partner Todd Rogers. In 2007, Scott finished second at the Manhattan Beach Open while playing with Dax Holdren.
Beach Athlete Director Tyra Turner: Turner joined the USAV Board of Directors in 2006 as the international beach player representative to the Executive Committee. Turner joined the AVP Tour in 2003 and had a breakout year in 2007, more than doubling her career earnings and playing in 11 AVP semifinals, including four title matches. In addition, she and partner Rachel Wacholder won an FIVB bronze medal in the 2007 Grand Slam in Paris. Turner was all-conference all four years at the University of Central Florida (first-team in 1995-97). In 1997 she was the conference Player of the Year as well as being named to the all-Academic team. In 1998 she was named the UCF Scholar Athlete of the Year and Female Athlete of the Year.
Indoor Athlete Director Sarah Noriega: Noriega joined the U.S. Women's National Team in January 1998 after a stellar career at Loyola Marymount University. She made the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney and played in 25 sets, posting 21 kills, 17 digs, seven blocks and three aces while the team finished fourth. She continued playing with the U.S. National Team through 2005 at which point she devoted herself to playing professionally overseas and coaching high school volleyball in the off-seasons. In 2007, she accepted a USOC Management Development Trainee position with the U.S. Olympic Committee in Colorado Springs. She rejoined the U.S. Women's National Team in January 2008 and is working to earn a spot on the 2008 Olympic Games roster.
Indoor Athlete Director Reid Priddy: Priddy joined the U.S. Men's Volleyball Team in 2000 and was a member of the 2004 Olympic men's team that finished fourth in Athens. In 2008, the 6-5 outside hitter helped the U.S. Men qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics at the NORCECA Men's Continental Olympic Qualifier in Puerto Rico, where the U.S. Men did not lose a set. Reid has been the team's leading scorer for the last two seasons. He played collegiately at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles, where he was second-team All American as a sophomore and junior and first team as a senior.

Article Header
When the sitting volleyball competition starts in Beijing, one U.S. athlete's thoughts will also take her to Kunming, a city in Yunnan, far south of Beijing. One of several Chinese Americans who qualified for 2008 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams, SuGui Kriss is a libero for the U.S. Paralympic Sitting Volleyball Team.
Kriss spent several years of her childhood in the Kunming Children's Welfare Institute, an orphanage with a wide range of children, many with multiple disabilities. Kriss has a condition called amniotic band syndrome and is missing some of her fingers and part of her foot. At age 8 in 1995, she and a close friend were adopted by American families, and Kriss became the fifth of six children, three biological and three adopted, in the Kriss family of Ravena, New York. She has stayed in touch with her friend throughout her childhood as well as with those workers who helped secure her adoption.
Kriss says she always wanted to go back to Kunming to help those who helped her, and so in 2006 with her parents' support, she traveled alone to the orphanage where she spent seven weeks feeding and caring for the children. It wasn't easy, she says. Two children, in particular, touched her deeply. One was a young girl whose disability wasn't readily apparent, but who was drawn to Kriss. Another was a boy about 10 who could not walk, but knowing that he was scheduled to be adopted by an American family, Kriss tried to teach him the English alphabet and to speak some English words. Unfortunately, having forgotten most of the Mandarin she knew as a child, communication was difficult.
The year 2007 was truly a watershed year for Kriss. She grew up playing volleyball, but it wasn't until someone from a club team in Albany told her parents about sitting volleyball that she even heard of the sport. In fact, she thought her volleyball days were almost done. She played varsity volleyball for Loudonville Christian School in Albany for four years and served as assistant coach. She helped lead her team to the 2006 volleyball state Class D semifinals as the team's setter, and so she was thrilled with the chance to train with the U.S. Paralympic Women's Sitting Volleyball team in Edmond, Oklahoma, within days of her high school graduation in 2007.
While it's too early for Kriss to predict whether she will pursue sitting volleyball after Beijing, one thing is certain. Her pilgrimage to China solidified her resolve to work with children in some way. After the 2008 Paralympic Games, she will work for the fall semester, then she plans to enter Schenectady Community College in spring '09 to study culinary arts. Until then, her road to Beijing has been as much an emotional journey as it has been an athletic pursuit.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: My new favourite raceIn full: Individual, quirky, welcoming and generous - that's just the set-up. The race itself is tough but runnable, scenery stunning, organisation great, love the shirt and pint glass. Good to see half the village involved as this adds to the atmosphere.Take advantage of the camping, food, bar and showers to make a weekend out of it or you'll feel you are missing out.Date of review: July 2, 2014
In short: Scenic, friendly, very well organised trail marathon In full: Possibly the most comprehensively marshalled and signed event I have run. Lovely undulating route featuring hills, rivers, buffalo,llamas and a ruined chapel. I can see why this was highly recommended. Date of review: September 16, 2012
In short: Finally a fitted t-shirtIn full: Bring yourself and enough fuel to enjoy one of the most scenic routes in the south. Organisation is very low-key but works, hills are rolling rather than sharp but nevertheless tough, views are fantastic and the sun is just a little bit too hot. 3rd time for me and I will be back.Date of review: July 23, 2012
In short: Possibly the wettest I've ever seen the DownsIn full: 3rd time for me so I might as well add it to my annual fixture list. Muddier than usual, occasional random mile markers, waterstations well spaced and provisioned, great day out despite the weather. Love the last two miles. Only thing missing is a hot drink at the finish - it is May after all.Date of review: May 7, 2012
In short: Undulating, scenic two laps round Bewl Water reservoir In full: Weather turned this into a bit of a mudbath and having to keep your eyes on your feet meant you tended to miss the rather lovely scenery (bluebells and swallows). Less flat and therefore more interesting than you might imagine.Nice tech shirt for finishers.Date of review: May 7, 2012
In short: Not one for the road shoesIn full: Tried this again for the first time in 3 years. Route may have changed a bit but little else. The new track up Butser Hill is shorter but steeper, with an interesting chalk / mud / ice / slush / running water mix underfoot. Great organisation and atmosphere, miles just flew past and there's still tea and cakes at the end. Date of review: February 13, 2012
Date of review: July 23, 2011
In short: Extremely well-organised hybrid race, a very welcome addition to the marathon calendar.In full: Scenic and tougher than your average park run which happily distracts from the fact that you are running laps. Very generous considering the entry fee, really like the medal (I presume the organisers know they've got a classic design with that logo). Well done, all concerned. Date of review: May 15, 2011
In short: Flat, friendly, well-organised trail ultra along the river with relatively little tricky navigation.Date of review: February 7, 2011
In short: Friendly, highly individual, stunningly scenic (hilly) trail runIn full: Fantastic support from marshalls, families / friends, other runners and random hikers, bikers and dogs along the way. Weather was perfect, I can imagine this course being seriously tough if wet.Special touches more than justify the entry price - long sleeved tech top with names on for all participants, unlimited tea and coffee and a post-race fry up. It may be a new race but long may it continue.Date of review: October 18, 2010

Due to changes in work, the odd injury, moving house a few times etc etc I have had a few lay offs from running and now find myself on comeback number five or six. This one was a long lay off, almost six years out punctuated by the odd run here and there. I rejoined a club back in May and after a difficult few weeks am gradually getting there but my question is this:
Apart from the obvious 'build up gradually' approach, what are the best tips for getting back to something like your best after a long lay off; and who out there has had the longest lay off and returned to running?

Healthy Carrot Muffins
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 2/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons wheat germ
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch fine salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 medium carrots, grated (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line twelve 1/2-cup muffin cups with paper muffin liners.
Whisk the flours with the brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl lightly whisk the egg, then whisk in the vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Rated 3.6 out of 5�by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ellie Great Product! I bought this table as a Christmas gift for my family and we love it. It was easy to assemble with two people and so far we have enjoyed playing together every day. Highly recommend! December 27, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Doug70 Once you've built it, it's good but surfaces are hard to keep level with each other For $800 I would have expected this to come already assemebled and ready to use. The mechanism is robust but the tolerances in the parts means that it's is hard to make the surfaces remain level and in line with each other. September 3, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by G2 Quality Table The table came with all the correct pieces. Assembly took a few hours be patient and read the directions thoroughly before starting. Looking forward to some family and friends ping pong tournaments. Very happy with the purchase. May 24, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Jeff Inconsistent bounce This product has the potential to be a great outdoor table; HOWEVER, the very first serve served from the corner I noticed a dead spot. It appears that STIGA has simply attached a 1/4 inch sheet of aluminum with a surface coating on it to a table top frame. While this appears to be done well, given its thiness, what this does is casue inconsistency throughout the table. Where there is frame attached to the undersurface, the ball bounces true and sounds great and where there is not the bounce sounds hollow and dead and the ball may rebound off the table less. Furthermore, the far four corners (typically where shots are placed and serves are given) are the worst. I am not an expert ping pong player and could overlook this drawback BUT at this price point I would expect much more. I recommend looking at the Kettler Topstar - if you look closely at thier design, the framing of thier table is actually not attached to the table top itself but to the OUTSIDE frame and nowhere on the surface. The Kettler also has a patented surface has a consistent coffered aluminum bottom with a resin core to allow for more consistecy in the surface. All outdoor tables sacrifice some of the trueness for outdoor durablity however if STIGA put a little more effort in the design they might have a good table on thie hands. Again - at this price point I would not expect this from STIGA. Disappointed. I am returning for a Kettler. BOOOO! STIGA December 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Antslam2 It has great features This product is great. Easy to build and easy to store away. My son loves to play with it. January 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by J Great table My brother got this table for christmas and it has been great so far. I guess the other reviewers commenting about the bounce are professionals, because i consider myself a good table tennis player and i have 0 issues with the bounce or noise! The only issue we have with this table is leveling the two sides, which can be done with a little time adjusting the different feet, but we opted to just use clamps to hold the two sides together at an even height. Overall i definitely recommend this table after having used it daily for about 2 weeks January 3, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Otis My table was covered 99% of the time... ...but after less than a year, the top was warped, the paint was peeling, etc. It is unusable. Garbage. June 11, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Bob1960 Table surface is too thin The table surface is too thin for consistent play. The sound of the bounce is different depending on where the ball hits on the table. The table is first rate in every other way. Best net I've ever seen. Some cosmetic damage occurred in shipping. December 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by no Ping Pong Table the product is great!!! i would however love to receive my Dick's points for this purchase? August 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Michael Good quality product I thought it was going to be more difficult to assemble based on some of the feedback but with power tools it was easy. Putting the table plates in place does require at least two people. August 9, 2012

While Turkey's average per capita Ecological Footprint has remained fairly stable since 1961, population growth pushed the Mediterranean country from ecological creditor to debtor status 38 years ago, according to a new report that Global Footprint Network and WWF-Turkey presented on March 6 at Istanbul's historic SALT Galata research and exhibition center.
Today, Turkey demands more than twice the renewable resources than its ecosystems can sustainably produce, or biocapacity. The balance of countries' resource needs are met by eating into their own natural capital or by accessing biocapacity from elsewhere. Running such biocapacity deficits is becoming risky as the world as a whole is already in ecological overshoot.
In the past 50 years, the biocapacity deficit of the Mediterranean basin has increased eight-fold, WWF-Turkey's Conservation Director Sedat Kalem said in Turkey's Ecological Footprint Report. "Turkey's Ecological Footprint is twice the national biocapacity."
The report is an in-depth study of the variables behind the change to Turkey's Ecological Footprint from 1961 to 2007, including the daily activities and the segments of Turkey's population that contribute the most to the size of its national Footprint. The report provides the scientific background for further strategic decisions on natural resource management, while offering concrete recommendations on how to tackle ecological overshoot.
Global Footprint Network's President Mathis Wackernagel and Senior Scientist Alessandro Galli joined Sedat Kalem and WWF-Turkey's Chair Ugur Bayar at the launch event, which was attended by representatives from the government, academia, civil society and the private sector.
"Ecological Footprint calculations, which present ecological balance sheets of the countries, can help us achieve a sustainable future," Bayar said. The report, he said, presents recommendations to make Turkey's Ecological Footprint fit within the country's biocapacity budget. "We hope that the decision makers and the business sector leaders will take the necessary steps to ensure that our consumption stays within the ecological limits."

A Sophisticated Holiday Party Spread: Delivered
The sheer physical beauty of San Francisco remains constant, from the grandeur of the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay to the steep hills veiled by the region's cool, distinctive fogs. But these days, the spirit of the city is in an exciting state of flux. Briefly chastened by the dot-com boom and bust of the last decade, San Francisco has regained its self-confidence, thanks to a newly recharged tech industry and the younger, hipper members of its workforce who are changing the city's borders, tastes, and self-definition.
For this new generation of San Franciscans, Harvey Milk is a character almost as distant as Martin Luther King, and gay civil rights are a matter of course. Gone is any lingering sense of inferiority to Los Angeles (though the two cities will always enjoy a fierce sibling rivalry). Silicon Valley now squarely competes with Hollywood for creative energy and cultural relevance—after all, the city that saw the founding of Twitter and Instagram can rightfully take its place on the global stage. Building cranes punctuate the skyline, as a surge in high-rise housing attracts thousands of new residents. World-class restaurants are legion. "Whether in architecture, art, food, or fashion," says interior designer Jay Jeffers, "San Francisco feels like a city awakening from a long slumber."
Artist Leo Villareal's installation of 25,000 LED's on the Bay Bridge.
It may not be surprising that so much creative change is happening away from the city center. The traditionally Latino Mission District, with its colorful buildings and markets, is still a great place for a burrito. But it's becoming equally well known for such punchy restaurants as Mission Chinese Food, where chef Danny Bowien serves his amped-up take on classic Chinese dishes behind a nondescript facade (the awning still bears the name of the former occupant, a takeout joint). Boutiques like Mira Mira, which specializes in pixie-chic fashions by international designers, and inventive bakery-cafes like Craftsman & Wolves, with its minimalist, industrial decor and anti-cupcake aesthetic, can make this neighborhood feel a little bit like Brooklyn's Williamsburg these days.

Sunday, June 24, 2012 - Text by Dev Sukumar | Badminton Photo
Never was an emotional moment on a badminton court as vivid as when Juliane Schenk sank to her knees after winning the women's singles final of the Li Ning Singapore Open 2012.
Schenk (pictured right) has been in three OSIM BWF World Superseries finals before this, and for a 29-year-old with nearly a decade in the senior circuit, her first World Superseries title win had taken a long time coming.
In fact, it has been over two years since a women's singles Worlds Superseries title is won by a European.
And how difficult her opponent Chen Shao Chieh made it for her! Schenk's speed and power helped her impose herself upon Cheng Shao Chieh and hustled her into making errors. The 21-11 first game bore no sign of the struggle the second would become.
The second game was a physically grueling encounter and as tense a thriller as one was likely to witness – a 9-0 comeback run by Cheng after she was trailing 10-15 to lead 19-15, then three game points saved by the German, and then four match points saved by Cheng again.
As Cheng found her rhythm, her game took on a different dimension and causing both players to drag across the extremities of the court for close to an hour. The range of Cheng's strokes was breathtaking at times, helping her befuddle Schenk with her deception and unpredictable strokeplay.
The German, for her part, kept in the game by her sheer athleticism. She had played three three-set matches coming into the final, and the physical toll had probably begun to tell. The two went neck-and-neck, and as the game wore on, Schenk seemed to be flagging, and the German played a couple of tired strokes that found Cheng 20-17 ahead.
Each point from then became a tense contest. Schenk saved the three game points, and earned four match points – each time Cheng conjured a winner, until finally, Schenk caught her with a tight net shot, and the Taipei girl's weak return saw the German sink to her knees and cried – tears probably of relief at the end to the agony.
The men's singles title went to another veteran – Boonsak Ponsana, who at 30, outwitted his much-younger opponent from China. This was only Ponsana's second World Superseries title, both won in Singapore, and his win denied Wang Zhengming the opportunity to record his first.
This win confirms the Thai's good run in Singapore, where he has entered the final four times and winning it twice, is not a mere fluke. To which the Thai has often credited his sturdy fan base in the city state of Singapore for his success.
In this year's final, Ponsana (pictured right) played a smart game to outwit Zhengming. The Chinese 22-year-old was devastating when he got his opportunity to unleash the smash, but for the most part Ponsana worked the net game, disallowing Zhengming the freedom to unleash his attacking side. The second game was tight all the way, and the two remained within a point of each other.
Eventually, the greater experience of the Thai and the "home" advantage made all the difference, as he capitalized on an error from Zhengming and nailed the final on his first match point.
In other matches of the day, China's Bao Yixin and Zhong Qianxin overpowered Chinese Taipei's Cheng Wen Hsing and Chien Yu Chin 21-12 21-17, though Cheng Wen Hsing then teamed up with Chen Hung Ling to win a gold for Taipei and an OSIM uDivine massage chair for herself following their 21-17 21-11 victory in the mixed doubles.
2008 Olympic champions Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan (pictured left) made an emphatic return to form by taking the men's doubles over Ko Sung Hyun and Yoo Yeon Seong 21-11 26-24.
All the winners in Singapore are from different countries, just as it had happened at the Djarum Indonesia Open last week.

Interview with Opera Singer Misha PentonPosted by Chris Becker in Composers, Contemporary Classical, Dance, Houston, Opera, Premieres, tags: Chamber Opera, Dance, Divergence Vocal Theater, Dominick DiOrio, Elliot Cole, Greek Heroine, Houston, Isadora Duncan, Klytemnestra, Misha Penton, Selkie, Spring Street Studios

(Houston, TX) Houston based opera singer Misha Penton opens her unique performance space Divergence Vocal Theater this Friday, April 15th. Located at Spring Street Studios, home to many of Houston's finest visual and mixed media artists. Divergence Vocal Theater will bring together Ms. Penton's team of singers, musicians, composers, dancers, and lighting and costume designers to present new chamber opera repertoire. Klytemnestra, a collaborative opera dance theater work featuring music by composer Dominick DiOrio, sung text by Misha Penton, spoken text by John Harvey, and choreography by Meg Brooker, is receiving a great deal of positive press in advance of its premier April 15th and 16th at Divergence Vocal Theater.
Ms. Penton's mission is to subvert the social mores and business paradigms preventing singers from creating their own works. In the wake of reality after graduate school, more and more classical instrumentalists are creating their own business and career models, going further and further out into what is, for many musicians, uncharted territory. Violinist Todd Reynolds, the ensemble Alarm Will Sound, and Houston based pianists Jade Simmons and Kris Becker are a few examples of musicians who are each developing a sustainable means for commissioning, performing, and deriving an income from playing contemporary classical music. Their approaches are as varied as their personalities, and there is much to discuss when it comes to what is actually working for one musician as opposed to another. But in the near future, these intrepid instrumentalists are going to find that more and more singers, including Misha Penton, are "out there" with them.
Misha and I met shortly after my relocating to Houston and I quickly recognized a kindred spirit. This interview took place via email in advance of the premier of Kyltemnestra.
Chris Becker: In a recent interview you said: "One of the things I want to do…is restructure the way people think about who does opera, how it's done, who makes it, and who performs it…What I do with Divergence is…create my own works and I sing in them. It's very much something actors and dancers do, but singers are not encouraged to create their own products." Do you think this model that you're describing is the future of classically trained musicians?
Misha Penton: Actually, I do – but it's already happening. And it really isn't anything new…instrumentalists in particular have been savvy to this model for a long time – the success of independent ensembles like Eighth Blackbird comes to mind immediately. Some conservatories are starting to take entrepreneurship seriously. Opera America has a great feature about entrepreneurship in its spring magazine and about singer-led initiatives, and entrepreneurship is the theme for the conference this year as well. Obviously rock and jazz musicians work this way and always have. I'm seeing more classically trained singers take on their own projects, but it doesn't seem to be as encouraged by the vocal teaching tradition as it could be…but again, that is all changing. The more opportunities we, as artists create, the better we'll be able to define success for ourselves. As a singer, I'm only partly an interpretive artist. I'm a theater artist and writer too, so I've always done creative work. I think of myself as an independent artist who happens to create work collaboratively.

CB: Who are some of your peers among singers that are doing something similarly subversive?
MP There are more and more small opera companies popping up that singers are joining forces to create – that's absolutely fantastic. And classically trained singers are branching out into all sorts of music projects. I meet singers all the time who say, "Hey I have this idea for a project" – I just love that. Go do it!
In general, I question the traditional company and nonprofit structure – so I'm not sure that's the best survival tactic nor the best creative model. There are so many options for funding work now without forming a nonprofit (fiscal sponsorship, crowdfunding, etc). The last thing I want on my back is an "organization". I work project-to-project and I'm aspiring to a Robert Fripp-ian model – a "small mobile intelligent unit".

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (32 votes).
In short: Great race, efficiently organisedIn full: Excellent site management with good signposting & indoor facilities. Plenty of local car parking.Marshals were incredibly supportive. Water stations ideally spaced apart. Chip management at start & finish was well organised. Excellent goody bag, well thought out including a bottle of Adnams beer.A generous range of prize categories with trophies to third place in each category.Wish the organisers could manage the weather as well as they manage the event!Well done BBDRCDate of review: November 4, 2012
In short: Excellent race, well organised with very supportive marshalls. Good medal and lovely beer!In full: This was an excellent race. The organisation was brilliant and the marshalls were superb - all very supportive to everyone. The soup at the end was very tasty and very welcome. The course was mostly flatish but the hill at the end added to the challenge! At least there was a bottle of beer to look forward to! All round excellent race - Thank you BBDRC :) Date of review: November 8, 2011
In short: Lots of good touches, not least the soupDate of review: November 7, 2011
In short: I ran in the 10k race that supported the 20K. As my first 10K race, I found everyone warm and friendly, the race well organised and both marshalls and runners alike were very helpful. Well done BBDRC!Date of review: November 7, 2011
In short: A challenging race with excellent organisationIn full: Escellent site management with good signposting & indoor facilities.Showrrs were lovely and hot, even for a late finisher. Marshals friendly and encouraging. Water stations very efficient. Chip management at start & finish was well organised. Goody bag, well thought out & bottle of beer very welcome.A generous range of prize categories.A challenging course, but no hail & rain this time. Well done BBDRCDate of review: November 7, 2011
In short: 20k makes a nice change but the hills at the start and finish should not be underestimated! In full: The weather today made my target time more challenging (as did a foot injury) but on the whole I left this race wanting to come to come back another year. This race was moved from February to November, although it seemed to effect the number of entrants I think they should stick with this time of year. There were some nice touches to this race such as the much needed free soup and the bottle of beer. I think i've ran every Bungay race this year and I am always impressed by their low key yet highly efficent organisation, this was yet another route in and around the Bungay area that seemed to incororate a couple of challenging hills...and you thought Suffolk and Norfolk is flat! Whilst this "Great Run" doesn't match the commercial coverage of the BUPA series, this one will be lighter of your pocket but just as rewarding and not a runner in fancy dress in sight! Date of review: November 6, 2011
In short: Great run, exposed route led to challenging sections.Date of review: November 6, 2011
In short: Great challenging course. Bit hilly in places. Very friendly all roundIn full: A good challenging course, well marshalled, stress free collection of number and chip.The course had a few inclines with the killer coming at the end. A very rural course - with the exception of the beginning and end I cant remember seeing any houses ! Well done to the organisers. Good medal, free soup and to top it all a bottle of Adnams - fantastic.Date of review: November 6, 2011
In short: Tough but good race.In full: I did this one as part of my training for the Norwich half in three weeks time and because it looked a bit different. Whilst the start location isn't the easiest to access and you need to park about 0.5 mile away from the start/finish line it is well managed and friendly. The hills are quite gruelling but they are mainly at the start and end with the main bulk of the course fairly benign. Another nice bonus was the addition of a concurrent 10k race which added to the numbers to improved the atmosphere.At the end there is a goody bag with some essential end of race stuff such as a banana, drinks and snacks. There is also a good bespoke medal to add to the collection. All in all a good, well organised race.Date of review: November 6, 2011
In short: A challenging but really enjoyable race, very well organised, well done BBDRCIn full: I really enjoy running in local races, and this event has a great community feel to it. Credit to Bungay Black Dog RC and Adnams for their excellent organisation of the event, the free beer and extensive prize list. The race itself is challenging, it includes hills and the course is open so can be affected by the wind. Its definitely worth doing and is capable of producing fast times allowing for the hills, a definite for the calendar in 2012Date of review: November 6, 2011

Annie retired from the Department of Health and Senior Services as the Deputy Division Director for the Division of Nutritional Health and Services. She served as WIC Director for many years and was passionate about ensuring services were accessible to those in need of them. Annie's career spanned 25 years. After she retired in August 2003, she worked on special WIC projects through May 2011 and will be deeply missed by her colleagues.
Following are the arrangements:
- The visitation for Annie will be at Grace Episcopal Church, 217 Adams Street, Jefferson City, from 4-7 pm on Thursday, June 30.
- The funeral will be at Grace Episcopal Church at 10 am on Friday, July 1.

Public Comment Invited on 2012 WIC State Plan: The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is soliciting public comment on the proposed Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program FFY 2012 State Plan, which covers the period starting October 1, 2011 and ending September 30, 2012. USDA requires states to develop an annual plan that includes goals on nutrition services initiatives to promote and support breastfeeding; vendor management; and other program goals. Additionally, comments are invited on the two revised WIC program policies that are submitted as part of the State Plan. All public comments are welcome and must be directed to the attention of email@example.com via email, or fax to 573-526-1470 or mail to Lyn Konstant, WIC and Nutrition Services, P.O. Box 570, 930 Wildwood Drive, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0570. Comments will be included in the final copy of the plan which will be submitted to the US Department of Agriculture no later than July 15, 2011. All comments are due to the Department of Health and Senior Services by July 8, 2011 to allow time for incorporation into the final document. (THREE ATTACHMENTS)
Information from National WIC Association (NWA) on 2012 Possible Budget Challenges: Washington, DC, 20 June 2011 – The 2012 Agriculture Appropriations bill (H.R. 2112) approved by the full House in contentious floor debate last week by a vote of 217-203 (click here for a PDF of the Roll Call Vote) does more funding damage to the WIC Program's Fiscal Year 2012 budget than previously thought! House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee Staff advised NWA late Friday night of the further reduction in funding. The following is from Rev. Douglas Greenaway, NWA President and CEO:
The bottom line: a cut of $733 million off of Fiscal Year 2011 funding of $6.734 billion and a potential loss of 300,000-700,000 moms and young children nationally from the Program's benefits!
At the end of the day, these cuts, but particularly the WIC and nutrition funding cuts, will damage the nation's public health nutrition infrastructure, result in challenging nutrition consequences for hundreds of thousands of mothers, children, and families, have long-term negative health consequences, hurt rural and urban communities alike, and hurt small businesses and family farmers. These cuts will cost jobs! None of this makes any sense for an economy that is struggling to find its feet or for families who are caught in endless cycles of frustration, desperation, even hunger as they try to make ends meet!
The fate of the WIC Program rests in the hands of the U.S. Senate that will likely mark-up an Agriculture Appropriations bill in Subcommittee by September.
What can Missouri Local WIC Providers Do? Please see the attached on ways the LWPs can educate their representatives and senators on the importance of WIC. (ONE ATTACHMENT)
New Selection in MOWINS How Heard About WIC: A new selection is now available in the How Heard About WIC drop down box on the "Additional Information 1" tab of the Demographics screen in MOWINS. You are now able to select Text4Baby as a response to "How did you hear about WIC?" Text4Baby delivers a message about WIC at 10 weeks gestation, 32 weeks, and soon after the birth of the baby, at 52 weeks. As a result, your participants may tell you that they heard about WIC from Text4Baby. Contact your assigned technical assistance nutritionist with questions or comments.
Extra Formula: Effective July 1, 2011, we will discontinue posting the Extra Formula list in Crystal reports. The listing of extra/unused formulas will be sent out on a monthly basis through the WIC UPDATE. Attached is a current listing of extra formula available at different LWPs and guiding principles for shipping created to assist you when sending or receiving extra supplies of infant/pediatric formulas. Red shading means the formula will be expiring within the next three months. Please check the listing in order to utilize formulas with the most recent expiration date first, prior to placing an order, to help keep food costs down. Also be sure to notify Ellen Whittington at firstname.lastname@example.com when you have unused formula available at your agency so it may be added to the database. If you have any questions, please contact your district nutritionist. The State WIC office is responsible for shipping costs, but the LWPS are required to follow the instructions in the attached for the State WIC office to pay for this shipping. (TWO ATTACHMENTS)
Updated WIC-8 and WIC-7 Forms: Both the WIC Supply Request form (WIC-8) and WIC Nutrition Education Resource Request form (WIC-7) have been updated. Please begin using the new form when ordering supplies and resources from the DHSS Warehouse. If you have suggestions and/or questions, please contact Takako Tagami at firstname.lastname@example.com.
[Note] Please do not order new WIC approved food lists (English and Spanish) until your agency receives the initial shipment from the DHSS warehouse. (TWO ATTACHMENTS)
Hotel Reimbursement template for MOWINS, Basic Orientation and IBCLC Training in Jefferson City: LWP agencies who send staff members to Jefferson City to attend required trainings for MOWINS, Basic Orientation, or Lactation Education Training IBCLC Prep Course may submit a request for reimbursement for the cost of overnight lodging following the training. Please submit your request using the attached revised template letter on your agency's letterhead. The LWP should attach the invoice from the hotel showing zero balance due. We ask the LWP to send the request for reimbursement at their earliest convenience following the hotel stay.

In short: Up....and up... but great fun!In full: First time entrant - fantastic organisation, ran like clockwork with the best views I've ever seen in a race. The village atmosphere and support around the course was brilliant. Definitely going to be a regular event. The first hill sorted me out, fast 7 mile stretch was fun but the second killer hill had me walking some of it - but worth it for the fast mile or so down to the finish and great reception.Date of review: May 19, 2013
In short: Cold, wet, miserable - but then the start! Interesting course (Speedway track) with excellent organisation. No bells and whistles, but fun and friendly.Date of review: February 10, 2013
In short: First marathon - definately won't be my last, a perfect introIn full: Can't fault the organisation (despite the rain leading up to it the racecourse start/finish was runnable) and on the morning everything went like clockwork. Friendly atmosphere and great support all round from marshalls and the public.Date of review: October 8, 2012

Committee Liaison Job DescriptionRevised: November 29, 2006
Committee Liaisons play a key role in facilitating two-way communications between Committee Chairs and Vice Chairs and the elected Leadership Team.
Committee Liaisons counsel and advise the Chairs and Vice Chairs of their assigned committees, and help the Committee Chairs to achieve the greatest possible levels of success with their responsibilities consistent with the Association's strategic plan and objectives. They assist committee leaders to stretch their wings, and are there to catch them if they are about to fall. Committee Liaisons share information with one another, and with the elected Leadership Team, so that big picture Association goals are not neglected when a challenge happens to arise in a single committee or with a particular issue, and so that complex or groundbreaking policy matters can be appropriately prioritized for discussion and debate in the relevant committees and by the Board of Directors. Through their efforts, Committee Liaisons facilitate improved communications across multiple committees when issues that cross traditionally defined committee responsibilities are under consideration.
Committee Liaisons also serve as the eyes and ears of the elected Leadership Team, to alert them of any potential problems or issues in a committee, and they play a valuable part in identifying future Association leaders.
Committee Liaisons are appointed by the incoming Association President to a one year term, and attend the meetings of the Executive Committee. Committee Liaisons are non-voting members of each committee to which they are assigned. They attend meetings of their assigned committees as the schedule permits.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 2.7 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by sosassy Paid for 50, got 45 Gave a 3 stars because I have fewer balls than expected. I ordered the pack of 50 but when it came in, I was in such a rush to try these out that I forgot to look to make sure there were 50 balls. No package says 45 but there's 46 balls by count. So, I can't return to store since I threw away the package and receipt in my rush to try the balls without making certain it was the correct amount. However, the balls did fine during my practice. I used the balls for practicing my serve several times and had no issues. October 4, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Harry It gets the job done pretty well, for the price. I made my purchase about 2 years ago, and I'm back for more. These are practice bucket balls, which means they are kind of slow, less bouncy than premium balls, but I'm sure as heck that they are long lasting. I lost about 30 balls out of 50 over the years, but not one single ball is found dead so far. On the other hand, all my Penn bucket balls (had about 20, now tossed down to 0) are dying and those balls don't want to bounce at all. Up to date, I'm still using these balls to practice and for less competitive games. They do alright, especially for the price. I recommend this product to people who practice a lot, great for budget people like me :) On the other hand, if you expect competitive performance out of this; gee, I don't know what to say ;) September 27, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by TennisStar Disappointing product I bought 3 packs (150) and couldn't wait to open and replace my old balls. But very first ball my kid hit didn't bounce at all. We tried the second, same thing, the third, again no bounce. Then I inspected other balls, and realized that the entire product is flat (i checked at least 30 of them). Had to return and play with my old gammas. For the same price I bought about same amount of Penns and so far no complains. Some folks use tennis balls to play with their dogs (i don't have any yet). I'd recommend using tournas for that purpose as they are flat. May 14, 2013

Has anyone else noticed some sudsy/frothy bubbles in their sheng pu?
I was making some sheng at home this weekend, and saw (not for the first time) some soapy-looking bubbles on the tea soup inside my glass teapot before I poured it. It's not soap in the pot -- I haven't washed it recently. Could it be the result of impurities, or is this to be expected, maybe the natural tea oils or something?
After pouring the tea, I rubbed my fingers on the inside of the pot, where the bubbles were, and sure enough, it did feel a little bit viscous/greasy/soapy. I could've been imagining things... but wanted to check with all y'all.

Walking Liberty half dollars will always be a favorite series with collectors. The series is GORGEOUS! The coins are often collected as three different sets (1916 to 1929, 1933 to 1940, and 1941 to 1947). The coins are challenging because of strike problems (especially for the late San Francisco issues) and low survival rates (such as the 1919-D and 1921-S).

In short: Friendly and fun race in the parkIn full: Nicely organised small, local race around a scenic park. Good to see so many in festive outfits (smowman should of won and agree not sure who did) but this was all about fun not racing. And the Xmas pud at the end was a nice touchDate of review: December 6, 2012
In short: Good race, nice scenery, well organisedIn full: Nice course around the Kent countryside, mainly flat with a couple of minor hills offset by some longer downhill sections. Good marshalling. Caters for a broad range of runners from experienced to newbies, inexpensive and it's for charity. No complaints. Good chance of a PB, unless your calf goes into spasm on the downhill.

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Quinnesec residents voice traffic worries
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
QUINNESEC – The Breitung Township Board of Trustees on Monday heard several comments from township residents regarding the landfill in the township and the request for Niagara Development to utilize it.
Residents' concerns were about the increase in truck traffic and the speed limit with children present.
Yvonne Peterson of Quinnesec said there is a lot of traffic on Wabash and Lake Streets. She said children can't be seen by drivers from the north, and the addition of speed is an accident waiting to happen.
Peterson asked if a child crossing sign could be installed to warn drivers about the intersection that is downhill, alerting drivers who may not see the children who play in the area.
Tim Paasch of Quinnesec said his fear is also for kids running out in the road.
Sharon Wilcox of Quinnesec added that the township streets are deteriorating and she's concerned about kids in the road with increased truck traffic to the landfill.
Dan Carlson of Quinnesec added children on the streets and increasing the truck traffic to the landfill is a hazard waiting to happen.
Township Superintendent Joe Rogina said the landfill off Kimberly Road in the township was originally operated by Niagara Paper, and Niagara Development has acquired some 600 acres of this area.
Niagara Development petitioned Dickinson County and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to update the license for the landfill. Currently, the contract states all waste has to be from the county.
"We haven't met yet," Rogina said about meeting with county officials regarding the Dickinson County Solid Waste Management plan. "Concerns will be brought to the county's attention."
Comments were also heard in regards to the results of the Michigan State Police speed studies and traffic control orders for Quinnesec.
The speed limit for Quinnesec Avenue, Lake Avenue, Menominee Street and Lincoln Avenue was set by the state police at 35 mph.
Trustee Ben Peterson commented that he wishes there was something the township could do to bring it back to 25 mph.
He said he also recently witnessed an SUV almost hitting a child and only missing the child by six to eight inches. Peterson said he remembers when his brother was hit by a vehicle years ago.
Gaudette commented that those who live on residential roads need to drive slower, not just out-of-towners.
If no speed limit is posted in a residential area, motorists are to drive 25 mph.
In other news, trustees:
– Approved putting out bids for the following roads this year: Woodland Drive for paving, fixing South Park as needed, paving Barton, River and Kramer Drive and Menominee Street from Division east to Quinnesec Street.
– In a six to one vote, granted a conditional rezoning permit as submitted by Dave and Shelly Byrne of 600 Campbell St. On June 13, the planning commission recommended approval to the township board to grant conditional rezoning for the Byrnes' request in a four to three vote following a public hearing.
The conditional rezoning is for Shelley Bryne to operate a Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) office out of her home.
Township resident Sue Reese has voiced her concerns, which include the number of vehicles parked in the driveway during working hours, the number of employees and the square footage of the home that is being utilized for the business.
"I will take this to court if needed," said Reese. "It will affect our property values and we shouldn't have to live with this when it's spot zoning."
Attorney Bill Fahey said that some situations call for this type of solution and it was up to the township board if this is one of them.
It was noted that a complaint regarding this type of rezoning would have to be investigated by the zoning inspector.
Trustee John Gaudette said the township is not setting a precedent by approving this rezoning, as every situation is different.
"Each rezoning requirement is individual and based on its own merits," he said. "There are rules and regulations to put it back into what it was."
Trustee Mary Beth Dixon voted against the rezoning.
– Opened and will have the township superintendent and DPW superintendent look over the three bids received for the township hall re-roofing. Bids were received by Lake State Roofing for $31,880, Markell Company for $19,893 and Tomaszak for $39,700.
– Accepted the 2013 audit report as presented by Debbie Bradford of Rukkila, Negro and Associates CPA's.
– Approved $3,000 to install fencing at the East Kingsford Park.
– Approved closing the township offices on Thursday, July 4, and Friday, July 5, in observance of the Independence Day holiday. For July 5, employees can either take a vacation day, personal day or go without pay.
– Approved forwarding the revised dangerous and dilapidated buildings ordinance to the township attorney for legal compliance and review.
– Approved a rezoning request for Paul and Elizabeth Olson to rezone Section 1, town 39 north, range 30 west from industrial to RR-3 rural residential for the couple to build a home.
– Allocated $120 to the U.P. Firemen's Association for membership.
– Approved an amount not to exceed $200 for lunch food for the Dickinson County Townships Association meeting on July 15.

Old Italian Cookbook
April 13, 2004, 11:43:39 PM »
My sister gave me an Italian cookbook recently that she was going to put in her antique shop and I have found all the Italian recipes in it so far to be very unique in small ways. The book is
La Cucina The Complete Italian Cookbook
by Rose L. Sorce. Copright 1953.
I found this pizza dough recipe in there and thougt I would share it:
1 cake yeast
1 tblsp. salt
6 1/4 c. flour
2 tblsp. shortening
2 cups lukewarm water
olive oil
Mix flour, water & yeast thouroghly and then add melted shortening. Knead 8-10 mn. Spread a little olive oil over dough and knead again 3- 4 min.
It says then to flatten so size of pan used.
I have no idea whatsoever as to the suggested rise on this but I'm sure that it, just as well with others would do best with an overnight rise in the fridge.

I use a recipe from "Baking with Julia", which I have revised slightly:
Makes 3 focaccias
2 cups lukewarm water
2 tablespoons instant yeast
1/4 cup olive oil
6-1/2 to 7 cups unbleached bread flour
4 teaspoons salt
Mixing the Dough: Whisk 1/2 cup of the water and the yeast together in the bowl of a mixer. Set the mixture aside for 5 minutes, until the yeast dissolves and turns creamy.
Meanwhile, pour 1-1/2 cups warm water into a large measuring cup, add the olive oil, and whisk to blend; set aside. Whisk the flour and salt together in a large bowl and set this aside as well.
Pour the water-oil mixture over the yeast and stir with the whisk to blend. Add about half of the flour and stir with a rubber spatula just to mix. Attach the dough hook, add the remaining flour, and mix on low speed for about 3 minutes, or until the dough just starts to come together. If the dough appears dry and a little stiff, add a few drops of warm water, scraping the bowl and hook if necessary to incorporate the water and create a soft dough. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and continue to mix for about 10 minutes, scraping down the hook and sides of the bowl as needed, until you have a soft, slightly moist, extremely elastic dough that cleans the sides of the bowl. You will know that the dough is properly mixed when a piece can be stretched, without tearing, to create a "window," an almost transparent patch of dough.
First Rise Transfer the dough to a work surface and form it into a ball. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, turn it around to cover it with oil, and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise at room temperature until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
Second Rise Fold the dough down on itself to deflate it and let it rise again until doubled and billowy, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Shaping and Resting Fold the dough over on itself again to deflate it (as you do this, you can hear the bubbles squeak and pop) and turn it out onto a work surface. Using a metal dough scraper or a knife, cut the dough into 3 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
The dough needs to be refrigerated for between 24 and 36 hours. (It is this long refrigerated rest that gives the focaccia its characteristic chewy texture and surface bubbles.) Place each ball in an oiled gallon-size lock-top plastic bag and refrigerate.
About 1-1/2 hours before you plan to bake, remove the dough from the refrigerator and gently take the balls out of the oiled bags. (If you have a problem, cut the bags open with scissors to release the dough.) Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, dust the tops of the balls with flour, and cover loosely but completely with plastic (to avoid having the tops go crusty). Let rest for 1 hour, until the dough reaches a cool room temperature and feels spongy when prodded.
Herb-infused or other olive oil
Chopped fresh herbs, such as rosemary and/or thyme (2 to 3 tablespoons), and coarse sea salt
Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F; If you have a baking stone, place it in the oven and preheat it too; dust a peel with cornmeal. Or line two baking sheets with parchment paper and dust the paper with cornmeal; set the baking sheets aside. Fill a spray bottle with water and set it aside as well.
Shaping the Dough Use your palm to press down gently on each piece of dough, causing bubbles to appear on the sides, then slit the bubbles with a single-edge razor blade to release the gases. Gently pull and stretch each piece of dough into a square about 10 inches across, taking care not to overwork the dough or handle it too roughly--you don't want to knock out the bubbles you've worked so hard to create. Let. the dough relax, covered, for about 10 minutes, then tidy up the edges with your hands.
Baking the Bread Transfer the foccacias to the cornmeal-dusted peel or the parchment-lined baking sheets. Use a single-edge razor blade to slash each square, cutting a tic-tac-toe pattern, or making 3 slashes in the center of the dough and enclosing them in 4 slashes to form a square with open corners. Brush the foccacias with olive oil, sprinkle with fresh herbs and coarse sea salt, and put them into the oven.
Bake the breads for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden with a heavy speckling of small surface bubbles, spraying the oven with water three times during the first 8 minutes of baking. As soon as you remove the focaccias from the oven, brush them with a little additional olive oil and transfer them to a rack to cool before serving.
