Fall 2001
Volume 6 Number 1
Remembering Professor Otto Piper
During World War I, Otto Alfred Piper, who was from 1937 to 1962 professor of New Testament at Princeton Seminary, was found almost dead on the battlefield after suffering a direct hit under his right eye. This close encounter with death profoundly influenced his life. And though he seldom talked about it, he carried with him the scars, the blindness in his right eye, and the impaired vision in his left. A magnifying glass lies on the desk in front of him in his portrait that hangs in Stuart Hall. I often saw him in his study at 58 Mercer Street reading with that magnifying glass.
Despite impaired eyesight, Piper read widely and amassed a magnificent store of knowledge. He became a renowned professor in Europe, though he was not just a bookworm. He was interested and involved in German politics. Under the kaiser he was suspected of being a communist and was arrested and jailed, though soon released. Nevertheless, the arrest so affected his wife, Elizabeth, that her asthma, which had been in remission for a long time, returned and remained with her for life. When Hitler came to power in 1933, Piper left the country in opposition. (His wife was of Jewish descent.)
Hardship was part of the Piper family's history. Some of his ancestors were French Huguenots named Naveau. They had fled across the Rhine for religious freedom after the repeal of the Edict of Nantes. Now, under Hitler, the Piper family had to leave Germany. He took a teaching position at the University of Wales (1933–1937) and then came to Princeton Seminary in 1937 with his eldest son, Gero. His wife, his daughter, Ruth, and their younger son, Manfred, followed later.
During World War II both his sons were drafted into the U.S. Armed Forces.
The first service in Miller Chapel in January 1945 was a most memorable experience. According to PTS student Manfred L. Geisler, at the end of the service Piper was asked to make an announcement. He went to the front of the chapel and, wiping tears from his eyes, read from a telegram from the U.S. Army that his son, Gero, had fallen in the Battle of Bastogne on Christmas Eve 1944. Chapel adjourned with a moving prayer.
Piper had been teaching a required course for middlers on the exegesis of I John. After chapel, his class went to Stuart Hall and wondered whether he would come. He was delayed, talking to those who were expressing condolences, but to the students' amazement he walked into the classroom fully composed and said, "Let us pray." In sharp contrast with the hatred unleashed by the war, Piper lectured about love and brotherhood as found in I John 3. It was as if he were saying to the class, "I will show you a better way: the way of love."
When the war ended, German cities were in ruins. Even Dresden, a center of art and culture that was of no military significance, had been mercilessly bombed by the British. Many Germans were devastated and in dire need. Piper began relief work. He collected clothing from wherever he could. We students were asked to help him sort and inventory every box. For years we spent many hours around the large Piper dining room table helping him. When the boxes were packed and sealed with a slip listing the contents, he would load them into his old black Dodge sedan and drive off to the post office to mail them. This went on until the mid 1950s. He was later recognized by the German government and awarded a medal for his relief work.
On Thanksgiving Day 1948 his wife, Elizabeth, had a severe asthma attack that she did not survive. Two years later, while on sabbatical in Germany, he married another Elizabeth. But due to the recent McCarran Act she was refused a visa, because as a school teacher she had belonged to a totalitarian organization. He came back alone. It took more than a year and a half for Piper and his wife to resolve the impasse and get her to Princeton.
They were an important part of the Seminary community. Thursday afternoons during the proper seasons, dressed in overalls and wearing a large straw hat, Piper crawled around on hands and knees in his flower garden, planting and weeding. Memorable also were the regular Friday afternoons when he and his wife had New Testament graduate students to their living room for tea. During lulls in conversation, he was always ready to bring up subjects that he thought needed enlightenment. Piper was a friend of his students, a model of service and integrity, and a man of great learning.

LittlePig, LittlePig, where are you?
Hedgeapple "Guinomi-s" pictured with a Houjin (Gyokuro pot, Bizen clay) that holds 2 ounces on a good day, but more realistically 1.5 ounces.
The Guinomi make for a really interesting Gyokuro cup! They hold aout .5-.75 ounce each, perfectly matching up with this Houjin.
The insides really remind you of tortoise shell? I thought so ...

Regulation Could Jumpstart Market
Small investors don't trust them. We think they're rigged. The country that unrigs them stands to profit.
Five years ago, 65% of us said we were invested in stocks. That is down to 50%, according to Gallup. Why? Because we feel ripped-off.
Two years ago, Michael Golub estimated at Advisorperspectives.com, individuals had $8 trillion parked in money market funds -- more than four times the level of corporate cash. That figure is probably higher now. Imagine what that money could do to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) or Nasdaq (QQQ) averages.
Golub saw this as a buy signal. The markets are about psychology, he believes, and you buy when investor psychology is bad. I'm more interested in what can be done to change investor psychology. The lesson that keeps coming back is that we invest based on trust.
Back in the early 1980s, when I began my reporting career, companies outside the U.S. were anxious to list their securities here, because U.S. rules on accounting and reporting were strict. Following them did not just get these companies on the "Big Board," it made them more credible to domestic investors.
That has changed in our time. The U.S. won't even agree to the International Accounting Standards Boards rules, which Reuters notes we promised to do in 2009. A single global accounting standard would improve many industries, like insurance, writes Bill Kennedy for BusinessInsurance.com.
Today the biggest and fastest-growing Asian companies don't list their stocks here? You can't buy Korea's Samsung or China's Baidu on the Big Board, the way you could buy Japanese companies back in the day. Why should they list here, if our financial regulations are no more trustworthy than back home?
I would argue reporting rules for the U.S. should be stricter than global standards. They should be the gold standard. The fact that they're not hurts U.S. investors, leaving the best opportunities to private equity, who are likely getting the kind of transparency on results you're not getting.
Don't tell me this would be an unfair burden. In an era when everything is computerized, we're talking about manipulation of software, not "paperwork."
David Kornblau, who was the SEC's chief litigation counsel during the first Geoge W. Bush administration, recently wrote for Bloomberg, the SEC should be continuously monitoring what happens on our markets, as regulators do with nuclear power plants. Empowering regulators to close down the action before a catastrophe would yield greater public confidence than a hindsight-oriented approach, he writes.
This idea of regulating for profit sounds strange, but it has worked well in the gaming industry, Reuters writes, and if Macau is seen as a threat to that the answer does not lie in surrendering to organized crime. Chinese investors are also becoming leery of their stock markets, says Forbes due to a lack of transparency.

Sergio Pizzorno
Sergio Lorenzo Pizzorno plays guitar and writes for British band, Kasabian. His main aim in life was to become as successful as possible. As a young boy, 'Serge' originally had intentions to start a career in football. "I told my careers adviser I wanted to be centre forward for Leicester City. When he said 'No' I thought I'd be in a rock 'n' roll band."
His collaboration with G-Star was a natural fit for the unconventional denim brand. "They're very true to their beliefs, I think that's kind of a rare thing in these days. So from that, it was like, let's definitely do something together!"
The partnership with G-Star is one of many alliances with friends, musicians, comedians, film directors and DJs. His most prominent pursuit is surely with the fellow band members of Kasabian.
" In the latest 'RAW' campaign film, Sergio explodes into action wearing Type C "
Originally named 'Saracuse', Kasabian formed in 1997 and have since won several awards, including a Brit Award in 2010 for Best British Group, their live performances never fail to excite their fans.
Sergio is a keen admirer of Britpop band Oasis and Noel Gallagher. "At our school, if you played guitar you got beat up for being a ponce. Then Oasis came along and suddenly playing guitar was cool.
Noel Gallagher inspired me more than any teacher or historical figure I'd heard about. For Oasis to ask us to go [on tour] with them is an honour and a pleasure."
Serge also worked with former Kasabian lead guitarist and song writer Chris Karloff on the DJ Shadow track 'The Tiger' from the album 'The Outsider'. In 2010, he composed the music for the movie 'London Boulevard'. Serge also worked with Noel Fielding for the soundtrack of the E4 comedy sketch show 'Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy'.
Sergio's latest collaboration with G-Star began with a trip to the headquarters in Amsterdam, he was inspired by the structure and workings of the brand and products. "There was just something about being in that building. Just how everything is in this sort of epicenter, this building in which everything gets done."
In the latest 'RAW' campaign film, Sergio explodes into action wearing Type C. This denim is constructed with a loose top block and elongated rear pockets, for an unrestrained and tough look. Sergio produced a brand new musical composition for the film entitled 'We have you surrounded'.
This campaign collaboration also spawned the release of a special limited edition Type C. Each one was crafted from 14oz dark aged denim with a special off-white pocket patch and logo. The patch of each pant was stamped with its own number and personally signed by Sergio Pizzorno as a mark of authenticity.
During New York Fashion Week, G-Star RAW hosted an exclusive event at the High Line Hotel to highlight its latest RAW campaign and launch the G-Star Eyewear collection. Kasabian took the stage with a one-off performance playing their latest tunes, rocking the premium New York establishment to its core.
Pizzorno still enjoys his childhood ambition of playing centre forward, scoring the opening goal in a celebrity Soccer Aid match and winning the man of the match award.
May the continuous success of Pizzorno and partners long continue.

After eight years at Barnard, Chief Operating Officer Greg Brown, who Barnard President Debora Spar called her "right hand," will be leaving in April after accepting a position at Swarthmore College.
Barnard Dean Avis Hinkson, BC '84, TC '87, informed students of Brown's departure in an email sent Tuesday afternoon, which included a detailed and personal message from Spar thanking and congratulating Brown on the new position. He will be Swarthmore's vice president for finance and administration beginning in June.
"The move is an exciting one for Greg, with a new setting and new problems to solve, and there's no doubt that he will take it on with his signature level-headedness, intelligence, and commitment," Spar said in the email.
Brown joined Barnard in 2006 as the vice president for finance and planning, and became became COO in 2009. Spar said that during his tenure, "he has changed the way we do business, all for the better."
Brown currently oversees Finance, Human Resources, Campus Services (Facilities, Public Safety, and Events Management), Barnard College Information Technology, and the General Counsel. He led the financing and opening of the Diana Center, instituted improvements to Barnard's computing and administrative systems, and redesigned the administrators' performance evaluation process. He also led the 2012 academic-space planning process and now chairs the campus-wide steering committee charged with the creation of the new academic building to replace Lehman Hall and Wollman Library.
Spar said in her email that one of Brown's greatest achievements was his decision to move the endowment fund from Barnard to an investment firm called Investure—a decision that produced robust endowment returns in the midst of a major economic recession.
Students who worked with Brown on the Financial Advisory Council, which he helped create in February 2012, said Brown made it a priority to seek out student feedback on financial decisions and foster an open dialogue with students about Barnard's finances.
Julie Tauber, BC '15 and the vice president of finance of Barnard's Student Government Association, said that Brown's work on the FAC allowed for the elimination of laboratory fees and the creation of an SGA endowment fund for campus improvement. She said Brown also hosted two SGA town hall events geared toward explaining to students Barnard's finances, budget, and expenses.
SGA named Brown the Administrator of the Year in 2012.
"COO Brown has been an invaluable asset to Barnard's Student Government and to the entire student body; he is not only available to meet and work with students, but is eager to do so, and he has clearly made student collaboration a priority during his time at Barnard. It has been an honor to work with him for the past three years to enhance student life, and he will be dearly missed," Tauber said in an email.
"He is a very gracious man, and he was very excited to work with students in making the finances of the college more transparent and having these students have a say and involvement in how the college was spending its money and how it was raising its money," said Candace Fox, BC '14 and Tauber's predecessor as SGA's vice president of finance. Fox chaired the Financial Advisory Council with Brown last year.
She added that Brown has devoted significant effort toward getting students involved in the Capital Campaign, a major, long-term fundraising initiative Barnard will be launching this semester.
Spar said that she and Brown will ensure a smooth transition between him and his successor and will update the student body as plans evolve.
"My time at Barnard has been a wonderful experience, particularly my interactions with students," Brown said in an email. "At Town Halls, Rep Council, and FAC Meetings, I experienced the best of Barnard—smart women who were committed to working together and making a difference."

Corrections: An earlier version of this story misidentified the author online. An earlier version also implied that Brown was COO for eight years. He was at Barnard for eight years, but was only COO since 2009. Spectator regrets the errors.

SWCS, Panama To Talk Sports Mergers
The most recent of potential sports merger talks include programs in the Southwestern Central School and Panama Central School districts.
A proposal to enter into discussions to combine its varsity wrestling and boys swimming programs with Panama was approved at the SWCS Board of Education meeting on Tuesday.
The proposal was presented to the board by Kevin Salisbury, athletic director at SWCS, who wanted to hear thoughts from the board members. According to Salisbury, a resolution was passed on Tuesday by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association changing the way schools are classified as the result of combining BEDS numbers.
"If we were to merge with Panama, as it used to sit, you took 100 percent of our BEDS numbers, 100 percent of their BEDS numbers, crunched them together and whatever classification you landed in, that's where you played," said Salisbury. "The proposal (to the NYSPHAA) was to, instead of taking 100 percent, take certain percentages based on that school's classification. We just found out today that was voted on and passed."
Salisbury said that, in the case of a combination, the larger district would still have 100 percent of its BEDS numbers considered while the smaller district would have a percentage looked at based on its current classification. According to Salisbury, the percentage per classification breakdown is as follows: 20 percent for Class D, 30 percent for Class C and B, 40 percent for Class A and 50 percent for Class AA. The BEDS classification numbers are determined by the state, which takes a snapshot of a district's total enrollment every year on Veterans Day and calculates the total number of students in ninth through 11th grades.
It was because of the passage of this proposal that Salisbury says he was contacted by Chris Payne, Panama's athletic director.
"When this proposal first came up, I was approached by Panama to see if we had any interest in merging or combining two of our sports programs," he said. "There are a lot of questions involved with merging that, frankly, I don't have answers to. A lot of negotiations that would go on between the two schools things that we would work through. But before I felt the need to even begin walking down that road, I wanted to see if this is something that (the board) would be interested in entertaining. I did speak with (Payne) this morning. (Panama) had a board meeting (on Monday) where he went and asked them the exact same thing, and they did approve to move forward and discuss."
He explained: "The reason that (Panama is) approaching us about those two sports is because their numbers are down. I'm entertaining it because, in wrestling, our numbers are down. So I'm looking down the road and seeing that there's a possibility that (eventually) we may not even have enough athletes to field teams in those sports."
Salisbury also said that he is considering talks of merging the programs because they are large-school and small-school sports meaning that, even in the now traditional sense of combining BEDS numbers, the combined teams would remain in the same classifications rather than being bumped up.
After its approval, William Burk, vice president of the SWCS board, met the proposal with receptivity.
"My opinion is that we should get a subcommittee (from Southwestern) and a subcommittee (from Panama) and have a sit-down," said Burk, who was the first to volunteer for this subcommittee.
Salisbury said that he would contact Panama today to inform them of the board's decision, and suggested inquiring with other districts that have gone through the process about the advantages and disadvantages of a combined sports program.

It's a Memphis Monday, courtesy of Harold Mabern. WBGO has recorded pianist Harold Mabern as a member of George Coleman's quartet. We've also recorded Mabern's own quartet at American Museum of Natural History.
Check out this version of Harold Mabern's trio, recorded in 1984 at Citicorp Center in New York. Bassist Jamil Nasser (like Mabern, a Memphis native) and drummer Frank Gant, two veteran trio performers (check out those Ahmad Jamal records!) make the trio. They play "Ray's Idea," a song composed by bassist Ray Brown and Walter "Gil" Fuller during the heyday of Dizzy Gillespie's big band.

Volkswagen and the UAW
The Columbus Dispatch - February 10, 2014 03:53 PM
The auto industry is closely watching a union vote this week at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tenn. If workers there decide to bring in the United Auto Workers it would be the union's first organizing victory at an auto assembly plant in the South.
Some of the media coverage is framing the vote as having implications for other nonunion automakers, including Honda.
But "Honda would be very back toward the end of the line," said Stephen Silvia, an American University professor who has written about German labor relations, in an interview.
If Volkswagen workers join the union, organizers would likely move on to other German companies with U.S. plants, which include Mercedes-Benz and BMW, he said.
German automakers are much more union-friendly than those from Japan or Korea. In Chattanooga, Volkswagen has welcomed the UAW to the plant, while much of the opposition has come from partisan groups.
For more on this, here is an Automotive News story that also quotes Silvia.

Why do companies, large and small, barter?
Because it enables them to build their business, while conserving their cash flow. At Tradebank, you'll have access to thousands of companies that are new potential customers for your product or service. Plus, you'll leave cash in your business, as you trade for goods and services you need that you would normally spend cash on.
Trading is an effective management tool that goes straight to the bottom line. By bartering, your company is able to:
- Gain new customers
- Keep cash in the bank
- Pay for purchases with your own products or services
- Buy goods at your wholesale cost
- Move excess inventory
- Fill downtime in your business
- Improve your bottom line
Animal skins for food. A Mickey Mantle for a Sandy Koufax. A peanut butter and jelly for a ham on rye. Barter has long been a popular form of commerce—and never more so than today.
Barter—the trading of goods and services for those of another—has grown into a $20 billion-a-year industry. Currently, 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies and hundreds of thousands of other businesses around the world barter.
Barter is good business. We know. As one of the industry's leading trade exchanges, Tradebank has helped companies complete more than three million trade transactions—each helping our clients to conserve cash and improve their bottom line.

Sen. Wyden To Meet In Medford On Violence Against Women Act
Oregon Senator Ron Wyden will be making a stop in Medford Tuesday, July 3rd, to meet with local elected officials and advocates for a roundtable discussion on the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act. Enacted in 1994, the act is credited with helping women escape domestic violence. Its renewal is currently stalled in Congress, Wyden's office says.
Sen.Wyden will be joined by Beth Heckert of the Jackson County D.A.'s office, Gerry Sea from Jackson County Council Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, and Chris Mallete of Illinois Valley Safe Alliance. The discussion will examine the act's benefits and what are viewed as the consequences should it fail to be renewed.
The 10 a.m. meeting will take place at Community Works. Other key members of the community representing law enforcement and advocacy groups have also been invited.

Here's how RW members rated this race (476 votes).
In short: Bonfire night followed by a scenic HMIn full: Hard to fault this one! Marlow one of the prettier parts of England, with the HM very well-organised and still managing to maintain that village feel despite 1500 entrants. The route is glorious and virtually car-free, with some challenging hills to make it interesting then the last mile is all downhill. Top it off with a great fireworks display at Longridge the night before and a pub lunch afterwards and its a great weekend.Date of review: November 12, 2011
In short: My quads and calves keep reminding me that the hills were proper hillsDate of review: November 11, 2011
In short: lovely and cool day, once on the way gretted with a slow winding uphillsection, and this theme continued with steeper up and down runs, with a lovely last mile downhill to the finishDate of review: November 11, 2011
In short: Wonderful race with red kites for company.In full: Travelled quite a distance to do this race having ran it for the first time last year. Enjoyed the course very much and seeing red kites giving their arial support made me want to return. It's certainly not an easy run and people considering need to practice on the hills. Tech. Shirt was a great improvement on last year's cotton variety. Only one criticism. More loo's are required. With a 1000 plus runners the ones on sight cannot cope with the deamd and a few porto's would help, just aswell the route was heavily wooded in places. Overall a great run, one of the best, and I will do it again.Date of review: November 10, 2011
In short: Bring on the DOMS!!In full: Last did this 5 years ago and for some reason, although I remembered it was hilly, I didn't remember it being quite that hilly!!Definately a challenge, and my legs are still sore now (it's Wednesday evening) but it makes finishing all the sweeter.Great marshalls, loved the technical t-shirt - better than a medal - and the bar of soap was an added (random) bonus. Would probably have liked a Mars Bar or a sports drink or something at the end - would have put an extra sparkle on it.One major gripe - and it's not very original - the number of ladies toilets was WOEFUL. The queue was ridiculous and I was resigned to finding a quiet spot to go until I happened across the (empty) public loos 2 minutes from the start venue! Date of review: November 9, 2011
In short: Dem hills don't get any flatter !! In full: My fourth year in a row at Marlow and one of the most satisfying races on the calendar - mainly knowing that you've tamed the beast of a course. Marshalls were excellent and the whole event ran like clockwork. Great technical t-shirt at the end too. Recommend to anyone who wants to run a hard but well organised enjoyable event. No negatives at all (apart from my Calves and Thighs which are still killing me on two days later). See you next year.Date of review: November 8, 2011
Date of review: November 7, 2011
In short: Another fantastic Half, with ideal weather for a changeIn full: 8th time running this and once again appeals to the masochistic tendencies with the monster hills at 8 & 11. But great atmosphere and organisation and the lovely downhill last mile or so. Need to add a few portaloos please as the indoor ones got 'blocked' and bring back the photographer. No doubt be back next year.Date of review: November 7, 2011
In short: A well organised half, with great scenery and some hills for challenge.In full: Ran this as my third ever half, and final event before my first Marathon at Luton two weeks after. I thought the event was very well organised and thanks to the countless marshalls etc helping. Coming from Milton Keynes I struggled with hills, especially the downhills where I just have to idea how to descend with pace or grace and was painful on the knees, but it's all good practice.Refreshments were water only, but no big issue. The route is very scenic and on the crisp morning it was beautiful, but I imagine had it poured the whole race it would be far less uplifting.Start area was pretty good but toilets a little lacking (seems the same with every race though). A good mix of runners, most of a fair speed (vast bulk were under 2hs) unlike some of the bigger events I've been to.Was aiming for 10min miles as practice for a 'hoped' marathon pace and ended up bang on that at 2h10m. Probably could have managed nearer 1h50m had I gone for it, but hills would have prevented much faster.Would recommend it!Date of review: November 7, 2011
In short: Challenging hills, lovely scenery...would do it againDate of review: November 7, 2011

40 Years Retrospective: Much Done, Much Remains
On the commercial front, offshore oil support and gas exploration was the fastest growing helicopter market segment. Operators in both the United States and the North Sea also took advantage of new advances — especially the availability of turbine power. At the 1967 Helicopter Assn. of America annual meeting, no less than three new turbine helicopter models were introduced.
Helicopter manufacturers in 1967 included Aerospatiale, Bell Helicopter, Boeing Vertol, Brantly Helicopter, Enstrom Helicopter, Fairchild-Hiller, Hughes Tool Aircraft Div., Kaman, Messerschmitt-Boelkow-Blohm (MBB), Sikorsky Aircraft, and Westland Helicopters. Companies such as Lockheed, Gates-Learjet, and Cessna were also taking a serious look at the potential of the helicopter industry.
Among commercial operators in 1967, the largest operators were Petroleum Helicopters (PHI), Bristow Helicopters, and Okanagan Helicopters. Other large operators at the time included Air America, Panhandle Aviation, Columbia Helicopters, Era Helicopters of Alaska, Orlando Helicopters Airways, and World Wide Helicopters.
Since 1967, many of the names of both the operators and the manufacturers have changed as the industry saw first growth then consolidation. At the same time, as operators found new uses for the helicopter, the manufacturers continued to develop new and better products to serve these markets. In taking a look at the last 40 years, Rotor & Wing has highlighted just some of the manufacturers' and operators' milestones. While it is impossible to portray the last 40 years with the depth it deserves, we hope these brief overviews capture some of the many changes the industry has seen.

Category: Adjustments
What expenses cannot be deducted as "moving expenses"?
The IRS allows you to deduct several types of Moving Expenses, however, the list below reflect items the IRS DOES NOT allow as a valid Moving Expense deduction:
* Any part of the purchase price of your new home.
* Car tags.
* Driver's license.
* Expenses of buying or selling a home (including closing costs, mortgage fees, and points).
* Expenses of entering into or breaking a lease.
* Home improvements to help sell your home.
* Loss on the sale of your home.
* Losses from disposing of memberships in clubs.
* Mortgage penalties.
* Pre-move house hunting expenses.
* Real estate taxes.
* Refitting of carpet and draperies.
* Return trips to your former residence.
* Security deposits (including any given up due to the move).
* Storage charges except those incurred in transit and for foreign moves.
No double deduction: You cannot take a moving expense deduction and a business expense deduction for the same expenses. You must decide if your expenses are deductible as moving expenses or as business expenses. For example, expenses you have for travel, meals, and lodging while temporarily working at a place away from your regular place of work may be deductible as business expenses if you are considered away from home on business. Generally, your work at a single location is considered temporary if it is realistically expected to last (and does in fact last) for one year or less.

Hey CB happy birthday. CB I'll give your updated recipe a try. Same hour? You do let it rise correct? I'm guessing rise intil it doubles or close to doubleing. Anyways that is what I did with the other one just let it rise then rolled it out as thin as I could and panned it, sauced, topped and off to a 500 degree oven. Btw I used ADY at the same amounts as your IDY.
Mini Pepperoni and green peppers. Was a little heavy handed on the sauce and cheese and it was great. Sorry no beer in the dough some how I ended up just drinking it. Guess I have a little trouble pouring beer in anything other than my mouth. Thanks to my son and his Ipod for the pic.
He loved it. Now if I could just get him to kick his pepperoni habat, and get him hooked on sausage. With the left over dough I made a pizza of ranch dressing, green peppers, and sliced tomatoes. No pics it was an ugly pizza. I didn't care for the ranch dressing, need to find a good white sauce. The crust was great though and the od shape had alot of untopped parts and the crust really became cracker like. I'm guessing this dough would make a very good cracker if pre baked. LOL guess I should have taken a pic of it now that I said that.
Damn! Now i am hungry again.
Wow! That's the most evenly browned pie I've seen in some time. Beautiful! It's like edge play for pizza. What'd you do, rotate it every 30 seconds?
Bob,Those are great. You will have to bring your skills to ILM. John K
Thanks CDN, I agree the sauce needs to be closer to the edge. The cheese turned out excellent. I used Sorrento part skim mozz. with Sargento pre-sliced deli style provolone all over the top. It was a pleasant chewy cheese that reminded me of home. And for the sauce I used Chicago Bob's recipe on this thread, but with a little bit more water. That was also excellent. I have been searching and buying whole canned organic tomatoes for sauces when all I needed was a 89 cent can of Continada. Thanks again! Today I also got a new pizza pan from amazon. I ordered it last week when I read Chicago Bob used American Metal Craft Pans. Here is a picture of both 16" pans I now own. The American Metal Craft is the one on the left. Is this similar to your pan Bob?
...the picture of the oven setup is how it was baked, the stone was on a rack above the metal perforated pizza pan. Should I lower the pizza closer to the bottom of the oven? I really miss Chicago thin pizza here in Tampa and would like to perfect a recipe before the Bears season starts again.

Domestic animals are subject to a number of diseases, but as spring nears, authorities are warning about three in particular - heartworm, rabies and distemper. There have been a number of instances of wild animals exhibiting clinical signs of rabies and distemper and there are several ways owners can protect their pets.
In Mississippi, Animal Control officers have reported high numbers of diseased wildlife lately, particularly within the city of Columbus. A particularly strong strain of distemper is being spread in the area, according to the Columbus Dispatch. Distemper is highly contagious, and because it affects the neurological system, it may cause excessive drooling, head-shaking, confusion and seizures in dogs. The Army Surgeon General has also issued orders recently to all five Army Regional Medical Commands to raise awareness about the threat of rabies. Luckily, these contagious and common diseases can be avoided with proper vaccinations and owners must stay up to date on dog vaccinations to protect their pets. It is also important to limit your pet's exposure to wildlife by keeping them on a leash when outdoors, keeping yards fenced and trash cans in a secure and locked area outdoors to avoid wildlife from coming near your home.
Heartworm risk is also incredibly high in Mississippi and across the nation, thanks to a warm winter and an early spring that has allowed mosquitoes, the carriers of the disease, to thrive. Fortunately, there are monthly preventative medications that also protect your pet from intestinal parasites and can eliminate the risk of heartworm in dogs.

NEW YORK: Better Know Your Bucky Retailers
- May 4, 2011
We get a lot of people wanting to know which stores carry Buckyballs in their area.
Sometimes, you need a Buckyballs fix the same day. Sometimes, you need a last minute gift. Hey, we get it. And we want to help you to do the same (get it?).. which is why each week we'll be highlighting a few of our favorite Buckyballs retailers in any given area.
First stop, NEW YORK CITY. It's where anything and everything can, and does, happen. And where Buckyballs make their home in some of the coolest locales in the world. We like to think they're better for all the culture they're exposed to. Perhaps that's why we're so pleased that Buckyballs are sold at the famed New York Public Library.
You read that right… breathtaking architecture, priceless artifacts, thousands of literary works and now Buckyballs all in one place. What more could ask for?
The next stop on the Bucky tour of New York is one of the most easily recognizable buildings in the world (thanks, Frank Lloyd Wright!), the Guggenheim Museum. Situated on the Upper East Side and overlooking Central Park, New York's Guggenheim houses priceless modern art from the early 20th century and , well, Buckyballs. Fun, right
Finally, looking to fill a kitch fix? Head on over to Pylones! They've got home decor, games…and Buckyballs. With multiple locations throughout the city (including Grand Central Station) no matter where you are in New York you're always within reach of Bucky! No wonder the city never sleeps. How fun is that?

[This post was co-authored with Chris Horst, director of development at HOPE International. He is a This is Our City fanboy and is grateful that Christianity Today has given him freedom to write about manufacturers, mattress sellers, and solar product designers, all working for the common good in Denver, where he lives with his family. Chris blogs at Smorgasblurb, and you can connect with him on Twitter at @chrishorst. His first book, Mission Drift, will hit shelves this spring. The views expressed in this essay are his own.]
In a marvelous profile for This is Our City, Brandon Rhodes explores how a 25-member church is contributing to its neighborhood through farmer's markets, block parties, and yarn-bombings. "They made a decision to radically localize how they practice being church with the common good and the gospel in mind," Rhodes writes. "…They take a 'nearby-first' approach to living it out."
James K.A. Smith responds at Cardus, and though he, too, celebrates the slow-and-artsy, he also emphasizes the importance of the macro-and-dirty. Decrying what he describes as "a sort of vague Anabaptism" among younger evangelicals, Smith challenges "Portlandia Christians" to consider the systemic challenges that either hinder or empower our cities. "We have scaled our expectations and our efforts as if the rejection of triumphalism means a retreat from systemic change," he writes. "It's like we've decided we should make lovely art not culture war."
Turning his focus toward Detroit, which he describes as a "colossal disaster of municipal government," Smith concludes that "farmer's market's won't rescue the city" but "good government will." Yet as he goes on to note, the solution is not either/or, but both/and: "It's peach preserves and policy making. Coffee shops and court nominations. Block parties and bills in Congress." (more…)

I've just come back from a little trip to New York, so I stopped by the Dakota and SF.
The Dakota is first of all a stunning building, simply breathtaking.
Walking the pavement outside was very eerie, obviously very emotional too. But I didn't want to dwell too long and take pictures, just paid my respects to JL and went to Strawberry Fields.
...which was very pleasant, although one of those kids a-capella groups did a cringe-worthy Beatles medley. But the guy who looks after the place was laying flowers, and it seemed a nice peaceful place to go and have a think.

Have you ever wondered how foreigners experience Nigeria on their first trip to the country? If yes, then this is the blog to follow in the next few weeks.
February 25, 2012 - Day 4
After a succesful night of networking, Collins and I had an early morning breakfast at the Radisson Blu hotel in Lagos. I must say that the stay at the hotel has been very pleasant and both the service and the facilities are highly recommendable. Nevertheless, it was time to travel back to Abuja and continue work.
Apparently, there is a law in Lagos that no cars...

Just got a sampler and some on sale matcha from Joy's Teaspoon admittedly just because my first name is "Joy". :-)
Sampler Teas:
Cinnamon Roll, Enchanted Forest, Margaret's Hope Darjeeling, Spicy pear, Riesling, Sweet Melissa, Japanese Cherry, Om (sound of the Universe)
Fish teacup from Verdant's China sourcing trip. Hoping I can snag a gaiwan at some point too!
My first order from Chado Tea Room! I ordered 9 new teas to try! Their sampler sizes are super generous at 1 oz, for less than 2 bucks each!
I just ordered the build your own matcha set with Kiri no Mori matcha and the Sakura blossom chawan from O-Cha.com. I also have a Butiki tea order almost here and an order from David's Tea.
My first time ordering from all these companies. Steepster is such a great resource for finding great tea companies. I can't wait to get all these lovely teas!
Oh that's exciting! I hope they come in soon!
And Steepster is great for helping you find tea companies, as well as finding out about sales, but that just means you'll end up buying 3-5x more tea than you would have had you not joined us. :P
I went and bought two tins of tea at chapters….curse limited edition, only purchasable in one place, wonderful teas!
I bought one of the sloane tea mother's day expclusive to chapters teas (divine cream…caramel + black); and a H&S Amebessa tea. I'm likely going back tomorrow to pick up Chocolate truffle and peaches and cream mother's day sloane exclusives lol
I am weak! Weak! Della Terra got me with the Earth Day sale, and I finally placed that 5 teas for $5 order with Verdant.
I forgot my upton order- but I'm not quite calling them by the right loooooong names!
A finum mug infuser.

I just ordered Verdant's $5 tea sampler. I certainly don't need any more tea (especially not after my last buying binge at H&S) but the Laoshan Black was calling my name! Oh well, I have enough room to stash away 50g of tea and $5 definitely won't break the bank.

...Because he knows that many animal species are being threatened by a bounty on their heads, furs, skins, feathers, teeth, tusks, and bones. Don't be fooled, that attractive-looking belt or ivory necklace could have been procured illegally by poachers.
The illicit trade in wildlife is a growing black market that amounts to at least $10 billion a year globally and is an even greater threat to wildlife than the loss of their habitat. Many of the animals currently being captured, killed and trafficked are at the brink of extinction, and the demand for these goods is pushing these creatures ever closer to the edge. This demand creates imbalances among the animal species, which can lead to greater impacts on the human species.
Today, as part of World Environment Day, the U.S. State Department held a launch event promoting three Public Service Announcements (PSAs) featuring Indiana Jones himself - Harrison Ford. The PSAs, which aim to combat the illegal trade in wildlife, were introduced by the Secretary of State's Special Envoy on Wildlife Trafficking, actress Bo Derek. (Yes, the actress from 10 and Tommy Boy is keenly interested in saving animal species from extinction.)
The event hosted at the United Nation by Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans, Environment and Science Claudia A. McMurray included senior representatives from the five partner nations in the Coalition Against Wildlife Trafficking as well as non-governmental partner organizations.
The PSA's were launched globally and are already airing in Brazil, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau and Suriname. Public events are planned or underway in over thirty countries to highlight this growing issue and to spread awareness of the problem.
The United States is the second-largest market after China for consumption and demand for illegal wildlife and wildlife products. Thus, these PSAs are aimed not only at a global audience, but also much closer to home.
It is my hope that future generations won't need to learn about tigers or elephants simply from books or computer simulations, but will be able to see them alive and well, roaming the earth in their natural habitat. If we don't stop the consumption, for many of these majestic creatures, it may already be too late. After all, considering the costs, we don't really need a coral necklace or a bowl of shark fin soup, do we?

Illicit Trades Top 2 Trillion...demand for exotica will diminish when new forms of employment are generated and those who create the demand are held accountable.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
I think it's great that folks in the private sector take initiative on conservation and preservation of species.
But I think it will be only when we truly consider ourselves as an endangered species will the human condition start to improve globally.
I say this as the humanitarian aid needed to save 1 million people is sailing away from Burma.
I say this as 300 million in the Mideast are at risk from the proliferation of WMD, and a radical mindset in Tehran willing to wipe nations off the map.
I say this as millions more are at risk of starvation across the globe due to higher cost of food staples.
I say this as some 50-60 conflicts across the globe endanger the peace and security of populations.
Personally, I think Mother Nature is fed up with us in general, and we better get our priorities strait if we're to survive into the 22nd century.
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
If the government allowed people to keep endangered species as pets, there would soon be too many of them.
Every kind of animal that has been kept as a pet has thrived and multiplied to the point that we now euthanize many thousands, possibly millions, of dogs, cats, and other creatures every year at animal shelters.
This doesn't mean ordinary citizens need to keep wild animals at home, but they should be allowed to feed them when they are hungry and help them when they are injured.
Currently, it is a violation of federal law for a citizen to touch an animal on the endangered species list, so if a bald eagle is hit by a car, a citizen must either stand back and watch it die or risk arrest trying to help it.
Government property is often neglected and left in disrepair, and examples of this abound - decaying military bases, neglected Indian affairs, missing money, unauditable books, and so on, not just in this administration but as far back in history as you care to look. The poor creatures who depend on government rescue need to lower their expectations. Private citizens can do a far better job if allowed to do so.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
MMMmmm, Zharkov got me thinkin' on that one. Now if we all treated each other like we do our pets, does that mean there would be too many of us on this planet?
Well, we tend to "euthanize" ourselves pretty consistantly as the human species through conflict and neglect, and maybe that is the bottom line population control method humanity has used as far back in human history as one would care to look. These goings on endanger other species as well.
We ruin their habitat as we ruin our own, but human compassion is not limited by this government's dysfunctionality as you suggest, as if it somehow were of a similar mindset to that of Burmese leadership.
In fact Zharkov, there's a news item I recently read of a bald eagle that was found by a citizen in a city landfill with his beak shot away by poachers. The bird is now getting a prothetic beak attached. And no "risk" of government ire manifest in Orwellian action was involved.
Zharkov, while it is true one can never expect miracles, I remain an optimist because it is possible to anticipate them.

If the people had productive leadership in these countries that provided JOBS and decent living standards, it would be a moot issue for the most part.
The fact that if there is a market, someone will fill the demand can only be cured with legal ramifications that are costly beyond the profit.
Zharkov..is that the American spelling ???
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
There have been several news stories about the danger of rescuing endangered species - one about a woman who accidentally hit an endangered owl on the highway and she took it to a vet and was thereafter threatened with arrest; another story about a seal pup tangled in a net near San Diego and the guy who untangled the net to free the seal was told he was being investigated for violating the law. No charges have been brought in either case as far as I know, but all citizens remain subject to threat of arrest for touching a protected wild animal. The law itself is quite clear, I think, that it does not apply to an emergency rescue, but the people charged with enforcement seem unable to properly interpret the law, so the threat of arrest continues. If you attempt to assist an injured protected animal, you risk criminal charges and very heavy attorney's fees for defending against the accusation. Your future is then placed in the hands of a US attorney, and your net worth depends on his personal opinion on whether or not you should be prosecuted.
I suppose some people do not mind playing Russian Roulette with their financial future, but that is what they are doing when they become a good samaritan to an injured protected species. Under the current Endangered Species Act, injured animals are more likely to end up as roadkill.

I bought these in a local store in the qua Lagoon color. I was a little reticent to buy them because my feet are very flat; however, the salesperson said his girlfriend's feet are also very flat, and she loved hers. They feel quite firm under the arch, but the salesperson said that the more you wear them, the more they mold to your feet. They hurt my feet when I first put them on, but as they get warmer, they feel better. I wore them at a convention and ended up walking for 5 1/2 miles and they felt fine at the end of the day. Because of the material they are made of, you feel like you are being propelled--they are quite springy. You are supposed to be able to wash them in a washing machine (but DON'T PUT THEM IN THE DRYER!!) They get black scuff marks on them from walking. Unfortunately all the black marks didn't come off in the washer, so I ended up touching them up with a Magic Eraser. Get a darker color if you don't want high maintenance.
I bought a pair of these in the espresso brown earlier this year when I visited my cousin who was vacationing in Panama City Beach and never put on any other pair of flip flops I owned after that! I was so excited when I found this website where I could order them in different colors. I bought four more pair, in the fresh cranberry, sweet tangerine, flamingo pink, and aqua lagoon! They hug the foot cradle the sole in soft comfort.

Got a bag of 00 Rinforzato today to play with, particularly for longer CF's... Haven't seen too much real world experience posted about this harder brother of 00 Pizzeria. There's Norma's wet gluten tests, and a few references to it, as in "might be better for" type comments, but again, very little real world experience...?Would love to hear if anyone has anything to say about the red Caputo from their ferments, bakes...? What I know so far is that off of the mixer hook the dough was every bit as silky and smooth as 00 Pizzeria...
toddster63,When I was invited to Steves home I did use Pizzeria flour for 2 of the doughs and Rinforzato flour for the other two doughs at Reply http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,18735.0.html The one dough was made with CY and the other with the Ischia starter though, so really a comparison of the two flours couldnt be made. I couldnt really see any big differences in the flavors of those crusts or oven spring even though they were both controlled temperature fermented doughs.Norma
650 for two minutes? That would normally result in a gum line. How are you avoiding having a gum line under such mild bake conditions?Your crust has good coloring, which is due in part to the increased protein but also due to good heat. Are you sure you were at 650?

Just now, President Obama laid out the case for a targeted military action against Syrian regime targets as a result of their use of chemical weapons that killed over one thousand people -- including hundreds of children. The President also made clear that this would not be an open-ended intervention, and there will be no American troops on the ground.
While the President was clear on the need for action, he announced he would seek Congressional authorization for the use of force.
Watch the President's statement now in his own words or read a transcript of his remarks.

@ Caitlin Hayden
It has been suggested that the victor in debate is the one who can be the most real...
Especially I think when the debate essentially revolves around what kind of common reality do we wish to create on this planet?
For if the use of chemical weapons does not provoke such a question of the world at large, then humanity has become less human, and de-evolution must be acceptable to the detriment of civilization as being the new norm of the path we take as a species.
No, this isn't about "regime change"...even if Assad be given a ticket off the planet to assure no more chemical weapons attacks take place...to which I personally believe can't be done effectively while Assad's still breathing and able to give orders. And this includes any of his inner circle involved.
Would this President recind a past President's executive order (Gerald Ford) in response to the precedent set in this exceptional case?
Speaking as a citizen who is on the record of having suggested years ago that folks in this government might just want to go ahead and "drop a big rock on Assad's pointy little head", to put a halt to his open warfare upon the Syrian people.
Be hard to envision a more effective way to "degrade" the regime's ability to use chemical weapons if there were no one left in charge to give that order, all the while the US gov. goes public and asks of the remaining regime's military, "Who wants to be next on the target list?"
And if Assad's "departure from this reality" doesn't sent a clear message to anyone thinking of trying such an ugly stunt again on the world stage, I'm not sure you can send a message that will wise the "foolish" up.
And that's how I think this President can be the most real, and demonstrate the seriousness of the consequences of their use.
In other words, sometimes a proper response to a precedent is another precedent set....that hereafter if anyone wants to use Chemical or other WMD's on a civilian population, they better have their obituary already written, ready to be published.
Just seems to me, as a student of the human condition that if you really want to solve multiple problems you gots to go to the common source of them, and deal directly with their source, rather than the minions employed, the hardware capabilities, or simply the symptoms of mental illness on the world stage, via a vast humanitarian effort.
I've asked before if anyone might have a rubber room available for Assad & Co. but at this point it's too late , he's got a terminal case of political stupidity and this isn't even about the President saying "Assad's got to go" so long ago...It's about the world community saying to him "You don't get to do that, and this is why." right before the solid tipped ICBM puts a thirty foot crater right where he and his Palace were standing while talking on the phone talking to Ban Ki Moon who naturally would be the guy most well placed to deliver that message seconds before impact.
Frankly given the President's narrowly defined parameters of his stated goals I don't know how the DoD intends to carry out a short , sharp, limited, no-boots on the ground , military venture to set a permanent and enduring example to any wanna-be genocidal maniac mass murderer anywhere ...otherwise.
I also think it's maybe the only way to prevent Assad from trying to turn this into a larger war by targeting Syrian refugee camps in neighboring countries, and probably the only viable way folks can get on with a "political process" with Assad no longer factoring in the equasion for a diplomatic solution to ultimately take shape.
The only way this action forthcoming as described could ever be compared to Iraq is if we left Assad in power like we did Saddam back in 91...only to have to go back later at great expense to correct our initial mistake that we thought he'd learn a lesson and act accordingly.
Well, that policy didn't work out very well, and if your going to do a job, get it done right the first time because having to go back to get it done right is what basicly upset me about why some folks say "Iraq was a mistake"...yeah it was, but not because of a lack of intelligence, rather from a lack of foresight....and we're going to be repeating history if we leave Assad in power after the dust settles.
Lately I've been hearing statements from our leaders that sometimes seems to parallel (word for word in cases), what I've written about the premis for intervention, or as I refer to this as a process of "regime replacement therapy" on a case by case basis. Like they'd taken a page out of "The Cure for Political Stupidity and/or How Not To Go To War With America" in arriving at a logical moral rationale for taking action to prevent a dictator from commiting genocide on his people..or using chemical weapons on anyone else.
I can't say I'm suprised it has come to this, nor even that the President has asked for Congressional support and authorization, nor that it has taken time for diplomacy to utterly exhaust itself with no way forward in UN fora on the security council.
Though today it has been suggested that Mr. Putin accepts the notion that it's possible Assad's regime did the deed, he wants to be a "show me" kind of guy ...well ok then...maybe the President should reschedual that one on one bi-lat with him and have a heart to heart chat over the evidence, and who knows, he's on his way to the G-20 now, so I suppose anything is possible....even a citizen getting it right once in awhile.
Thing is I hate being right most of the time.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (24 votes).
In short: A flat and scenic 10 mile which is spectator friendly In full: I have run this several times as my local race. The organisation is good and race HQ in the community centre gives you a base and somewhere to keep warm in late November. The start is compact and friendly enough. The course is great, closed roads to begin, then a mile of track before running along the scenic seafront. It can be windy but you're only into the wind for a couple of miles at any one time before you turn around. The medal isn't up to much and there's no goodie bag/cake. That could be improved.Date of review: November 18, 2013
In full: The wind made it tough going.Maybe a T-Shirt or a mars bar with the medals would have been nice.Date of review: December 2, 2012
In short: At least it wasn't raining..............In full: A decent enough event but little things let it down.The Good: Marshalls extremely friendly and fellow runners were supportiveThe Bad: I'm a 'recreational' runner, and there weren't many of us in this event as it is full of club runners. No problem as everyone was nice enough, but having only 1 water station after 5 miles is just not enough for people of my ability. I also managed to lose my number after 4.5 miles due to the wind blowing it off, despite it being pinned to my shirt. When I crossed the line at the end I was told by the gumpy git recording the numbers that I was liable to being disqualified. Whilst I appreciate there are rules, being told off like a naughty school child for something that was a freak accident hardly improves one's mood after a hard 10 mile slog. Finally, would rather have had a mars bar than that cheap little medal at the finish. Again, more water would have been niceDate of review: November 28, 2012
In full: this was a well organised race,friendly marshalls and locals.weather windy for last 2miles but like gosport the previous week a good buzz & i would run it again in 2013.Date of review: November 26, 2012
In short: Well marshalled, signed route, good facilities, very flat course, but exposed to coastal weather & muddy in one sectionIn full: First time on this new course. Very flat, but twisty course and exposed on long sections along the coast, which meant for a bit of a slog in places when the wind 'kicked in'. Otherwise, this could easily be a PB course. Just don't expect too much with coastal weather in Winter! If you want guarantee of 10 miles PB, then try Maidenhead 10.Great Marshalling and very supportive & friendly. Well signed route and enough drinks en-route. Nice facilities at start and finish. Naff medal though. Reasonably priced entry and nice range of category prizes.Be aware that with only one main road on and off the island it can get congested leaving the island after the race.Just one minor suggestion to the organisers: please can you use an alternative to handing out bottled water on the course as this is a tremendous waste of water just for a few sips. Not a complaint, just thinking of the environment and terrible wastage of a precious commodity.Thanks to all the organisers, helpers and various other people for putting on the event. Much appreciated.Date of review: November 26, 2012
In short: Fun and Flat for 10 milesIn full: For my first 10 mile race this was good. Organisation was as good as any other race i've done - lots of marshalls and spectators cheering you on. The wind in the last couple of miles wasn't fun but that's hardly the organisers fault!! Good views around the island and really flat. Nice medalDate of review: November 26, 2012
In short: Decent race but let itself down at the endIn full: Despite the weather (which simply cannot be helped) this was a decent race. Organsation was good, it ran smoothly, Marshals were splendid. What a shame it let itself down badly at the end. Whilst some of us waited for the back markers - to encourage them in - those beginner runners, who had been out (of course) longer than others, to cheer and encourage them in....the finish area was dismantled before they were even in sight. What the organisers need to remember is that it is these grass root runners who add to the numbers to pay into the club funds. Would it have hurt to have kept the finish area in place an extra 10 minutes? No? Then maybe think and act on this next year. Take a lesson from Gosport Half Marathon's books of last week, where the tail runners received more of a cheer and encouragement from the organisers and announcers. Such a small but hugely important detail Havant AC if you want to encourage running.Date of review: November 25, 2012
In short: Scenic,fast flat race.Marshalls and public very encouraging.Bottled water seemed a waste at water station but i suppose they did'nt want plastic cups blowing about. Enjoyable race!Date of review: November 25, 2012

USA vs Netherlands - Game Two
CHULA VISTA, CA - The USA Field Hockey Women's National Team fell to the Netherlands, 4-1, today at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. Carrie Lingo scored for the USA.
The 2008 Olympic gold medal winners, the Netherlands are the number one field hockey team in the world and a good opportunity to gauge the growth of the U.S. team as they prepare for the 2010 AtaHolding Women's World Cup Qualifier in March.
"I'm pleased with the step we made from the first game to today," said Bodimeade. "Especially in the first half, we were able to control the game for longer time and exert more pressure."
"It went well," said team captain Carrie Lingo. "We took a step forward as a group today. I think the group collectively really stepped up and put pressure on the Dutch."
As Olympic champions, the Dutch displayed their skill early - Naomi Van As scored the first goal within the first 40 seconds and looked to dominate play. But the Americans were not discouraged.
"Actually, I think that helped fuel our fire," said Lingo with a laugh.
The USA scored a goal of their own in the 17th minute to level the game. A penalty corner blast from Rachel Dawson was stopped by the Dutch goalkeeper, but Carrie Lingo was able to swat the ball out of the air into the goal.
"Rachel had a beautiful strike on goal, and the deflection came right to me," said Lingo.
"Against the world number one, it's difficult to find yourself behind early," said Bodimeade. "But I was pleased with how we settled and how we got on without game after that. If you're going to allow a goal, it's better to allow it in the first minute and not in the 69th minute."
The American offense provided more scoring chances and challenged the Dutch defense through the second half. Sarah Dawson, Michelle Kasold and Katie O'Donnell created opportunities late in the game for the USA.
"The attacking line stepped up and they set the tone for the entire defensive structure," said Lingo.
The Dutch style of play is methodically structured and notoriously relentless. Rough and tumble play was present throughout, including an incident where a diving Kayla Bashore took a defender's stick to face, chipping one of her front teeth.
"I went to shoot, and the defender came through me with her stick," Bashore said. She shook off any ill effects. "It didn't really hurt."
Kim Lammers and Maartje Paumen also scored for the Dutch. Eva de Goede added a fourth goal on a penalty corner as time expired for a 4-1 final score.
"We paid for a couple opportunities at the end that took the shine off a much better performance," said Bodimeade.
"I thought it was an improvement," said USA Field Hockey Technical Director of High Performance Terry Walsh. "There was much better tactical awareness. We put the Dutch under pressure a fair amount. But we gave up a couple of careless goals. There was a much better build to the front line. What was going on in the midfield was better. We were able to apply much more consistent pressure."
In the end, the match serves as preparation for the AtaHolding Women's World Cup Qualifier in March.
"We have clear objectives set for the Qualifier," said Bodimeade.
NED - Naomi Van As - 1' (FG)
USA - Carrie Lingo - 17' (PC)
NED - Lammers - 21' (FG)
NED - Paumen - 54' (PC)
NED - De Goede - 70' (PC)
The USA faces China on Friday, January 29. Tomorrow features a contest between the Netherlands and China, a rematch of the 2008 Olympic Games final.

Hunger is a chronic problem in both Chad and Niger, two of the world's poorest countries. With large nomadic populations whose livelihood depends on their herds of camels and cattle, both countries have suffered severely from droughts. Chronic malnutrition threatens tens of thousands of children who lack access to clean water, preventative health care. and sufficient quantities of nutrient rich foods. The droughts have devastated livelihoods of both farmers and pastoralists in the Sahel, an arid and semi-arid region, sweeping through both countries that is chronically food insecure. On a recent field visit to the two countries where I was accompanied by Cristina Amaral, Africa Director of the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) Emergency Response Unit and Africa-based representatives of USAID's Office of Food for Peace, I witnessed the efforts of FAO and the World Food Program (WFP), both of whom receive valuable financial support from USAID, in tackling the impacts of the drought on the most vulnerable populations. In addition to supporting the recovery of drought-affected households, both organizations are now using their resources in a more preventative fashion -- in order to get at the root causes of the high levels of malnutrition in a more integrated fashion.
For example, in Chad, water is a huge priority. Along the western border with Niger, in Kanem, Chad, many families travel 5-10 kilometers or more to meet their water needs and those of their livestock. Farmers are very vulnerable to the area's recurring climatic shocks. While I saw many dry shallow wells, wells in the "wadis" -- oasis-like patches in the Sahel, still had ample water. In Chad and Niger, FAO and WFP work together to increase production of nutrient rich foods in the wadis, which are capable of supporting agriculture production. Combining the introduction of technologies such as drip irrigation, water harvesting, and man-power driven pumps with distribution of improved seeds, FAO identified specific vitamin-rich crops whose production could be increased and greatly augment local diets. I witnessed an explosion of production in tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, even broccoli, that was now available to diversify the local diet which is heavy in grains. Women farmers were prioritized for assistance as frequently they were heads of large households. The women I talked with were excited about the new crop diversity and thankful for the extra food which went primarily to feed chronically malnourished children at home. FAO also targeted women leaders to receive training on how to increase their income through the marketing of production surpluses.
In other sites in Kenem, WFP's USG-supported food for work activities expanded water access and agricultural land. Wadi development -- with year-round water, farms of dates, and flourishing fruits and vegetables in an otherwise arid area -- was seen by many as an important food security intervention.
In Niger, cereal banks are one of the solutions for long-term food sustainability. The WFP/FAO-supported cereal banks help to ensure the availability of food during the lean period and equal access to grain for all, especially the most vulnerable. NGO partners guide local committee elections, trainings and cereal bank construction, empowering the whole community, especially women, to manage their own food supply. In Diskir, I talked with the Tuareg women leaders who had been selected to manage their new cereal bank. The women explained how they used funds provided by the UN agencies to launch their initial efforts to build resiliency among local farmers and their families. The women of Diskir used to worry about how they would feed their families during the lean season. The joint FAO-WFP-initiated cereal bank I saw has changed that -- and led to a new-found confidence.
Hundreds of thousands of people live in areas in Chad and Niger that are affected by recurring droughts. These people are still recovering from the effects of the 2009-2010 drought crises. Despite the worrying food security situation, both Chad and Niger have seen improvements thanks to the efforts of these two United Nations Organizations. In collaboration with local governments, FAO and WFP activities are strengthening the agricultural and pastoral livelihoods of vulnerable farmers and their families. With U.S. support, the UN activities reinforce the purchasing power of the most vulnerable and build their resiliency enabling them to better secure their livelihoods.
