Pardon the irony, but creationism is evolving. To be sure, the goal of the movement, to force public schools to teach certain religious beliefs as science, has never wavered. But the movement's strategies and methods have evolved over time in an effort to adapt to new conditions.
These strategies have changed for two reasons. First, the Supreme Court has made clear that it is unconstitutional for public schools to teach religious belief as science. Second, and just as important, Americans have come to understand the important role science education plays in our country's security and international competitiveness.
Creationists have adapted to these developments by changing not their agenda, but the language they use to talk about it. The original argument, that schools should teach nothing that contradicted a literal reading of the Bible, has given way to the argument that creationism — now called "Intelligent Design" — is science, a claim that the vast majority of scientists dismiss as preposterous. Some have even tried to claim that evolution is itself a religion.
Students should learn about religion in History, Social Studies, Art and Literature courses, but anti-evolution activists have worked hard to insert religious instruction into science classrooms at the expense of quality education.
The Creationism Period
When Darwin proposed the modern theory of evolution, creationists instantly opposed it on religious grounds. For years the creationism movement was clear in its message: evolution is wrong because it contradicts the Bible. Creationists in this period did not pretend to be concerned with science: they opposed outright any attempt to teach evolution in the classroom.
1859 — The Origin of the Species is published
Darwin's The Origin of Species sets forth the modern theory of evolution and its chief mechanism, natural selection. Many Christian fundamentalists of the day object immediately to what they see as the book's contradiction of Biblical literalism.
1913 — Flood geology first proposed
As acceptance of evolution grows, a Seventh-day Adventist and amateur geologist named George McCready Price writes The Fundamentals of Geology. Using profoundly flawed logic, he argues that the vast majority of fossils must have been created during the Great Flood described in the book of Genesis, and that geological dating methods must be "corrected" to conform to that fact. He then uses the newly "corrected" rock dating to "prove" that assertion about the fossils was correct. Initially, flood geology has few proponents even within the creationist community.
1914 — Evolution Appears in Textbooks
George William Hunter's A Civic Biology, the book that is later used in biology courses in Dayton, Tenn., is published. A Civic Biology describes evolution as "the belief that simple forms of life on the earth slowly and gradually gave rise to those more complex and that thus ultimately the most complex forms came into existence."
1923 — The First Anti-Evolution Bills
Led by three-time presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan, a campaign to outlaw the teaching of evolution in public schools succeeds in convincing the legislatures of Oklahoma and Florida to pass anti-evolution legislation. Bryan is unapologetic about the religious basis of his crusade. "What shall it profit a man," he writes, "if he shall gain all the learning of the schools and lose his faith in God?" In 1925, Tennessee passes similar legislation, resulting in the famous Scopes Trial, pitting Bryan against legendary lawyer Clarence Darrow.
1940s — Teaching of evolution hits low
Due to the political, commercial, and legal attacks of Biblical literalists, the number of schools teaching evolution hit a new low point.
1947 and 1948 — Supreme Court on Government Endorsement of Religion
In 1947 the Supreme Court makes clear that government may not aid religion generally, or prefer one religion over another. A 1948 ruling forbids religious instruction in public schools.
1950 — Pope Pius XII rejects Biblical literalism
Calling evolution an "open question," Pope Pius XII rejects literal Biblical creationism as the sole explanation for biological origins, acknowledging the importance of scientific principles in conjunction with spiritual faith.
1957 — Sputnik
The perceived threat posed by Sputnik focuses America's attention on the importance of a sound math and science education. Popular support for comprehensive science education spreads and leads even many ultra-conservative school districts to teach scientifically accepted evolution curriculum.
1961 — The Genesis Flood is published
John v. Whitcomb, Jr. and Henry Morris publish The Genesis Flood, which attempts to demonstrate that Biblical literalism is supported by science. The book, which reintroduces Price's flood geology, is met with near-unanimous criticism from the scientific community.
1966 — Creationists Demand Equal Time
Religious activist Nell Segraves demands that the California State Board of Education grant equal time in California schools for creationism. She bases her request on a provision in the Civil Rights Act that allowed teachers to mention religion so long as they did not promote specific doctrines. The request is denied.
1968 — Epperson v. Arkansas
In Epperson v. Arkansas, the United States Supreme Court invalidates an Arkansas statute that prohibited the teaching of evolution in public schools and universities.
The Creationism "Science" Period
As Americans came to value the teaching of authentic science in the science classroom, creationists changed their argument. Instead of opposing the teaching of evolution and science per se, they claimed that science proves that the first chapters of Genesis are literally true. The scientific community has consistently criticized this as pseudo-science.
1970 — California Science Framework gives birth to creation science
Reacting to now widespread opinion and the Supreme Court's finding in Epperson that science classes should teach scientific theories, the California State Board of education approves language couching "creationism" in scientific vocabulary. The board writes, "Creation in scientific terms is not a religious or philosophical belief." This moves creationism from religion to pseudo-science.
1970 — Creation-Science Research Center is founded
Continuing her effort to dress up creationism in scientific clothes, Segraves heads the effort to form the Creation-Science Research Center, which is affiliated with Tim LaHaye's Christian Heritage College in San Diego. Henry Morris is also part of the effort but disagreements over the organization's political role lead to the Center's ending its affiliation with Morris and LaHaye in 1972.
1972 — Institute for Creation Research is started
Henry Morris founds the Institute for Creation Research, affiliated with the Christian Heritage College, dedicated to refuting the theory of evolution and developing a scientific basis for the Biblical account of creation.
1974 — Scientific Creationism
Morris publishes his book Scientific Creationism, a bedrock text of the movement, in two editions: one for public schools that makes no explicit references to the Bible, and another that includes a chapter on "Creation according to Scripture." Creationists now argue that science can confirm the account of creation as given literally in the Bible.
1978 — Wendell Bird
Yale law student Wendell Bird publishes a strategy for introducing creationism into public schools across the country. His article, "Freedom of Religion and Science Instruction in Public Schools" in the Yale Law Journal, claims that "scientific creationism" is not religion and that not teaching it would violate the free exercise rights of Biblical literalists.
1981 — Equal time bills
After graduating, Bird works at the Institute for Creation Science on equal time resolutions that the Institute hopes will be adopted by school boards. These resolutions are eventually adapted for state legislators to introduce. Both Arkansas and Louisiana approve versions of these model bills. The bill in Arkansas alludes to a worldwide flood, but does not use any explicitly Biblical language. The Louisiana bill makes no reference to flood geology even though it provides the underpinning for "scientific creationism."
1987 — Edwards v. Aguillard
Dealing a crippling blow to creation science, in Edwards v. Aguillard, the U.S. Supreme Court declares Louisiana's "Creationism Act" unconstitutional. The law prohibited the teaching of evolution in public schools, unless "creation science" was also taught.
The Intelligent Design Period
After the failure of "creation science," creationists change tactics again. This time the movement focuses less on teaching creationism, and more on attacking evolution. By claiming that evolution is not universally accepted in the scientific community, creationists seek to discredit Darwin's theory simply by confusing the issue and muddying the waters.
1987 — A Good Point...
Paul MacKinney, chairman of the Midwest Creation Fellowship, predicts that in the wake of the Supreme Court decision barring "equal time" for creationism, the movement will need to change its public relations and legal strategy in order to portray itself as a victim of discrimination. Soon after the Edwards decision was issued, the Institute proposes that opponents of evolution develop an "arguments against evolution" strategy, which is intended to undermine evolution, if not promote creationism outright.
1989 — Of Pandas and People
Of Pandas and People: The Central Question of Biological Origins, by Percival Davis and Dean Kenyon, is published. The biology "textbook" promotes the idea that life must have been created by an "intelligent designer." The book is widely promoted by Christian Right leader James Dobson.
1991 — "Intelligent Design"
Darwin on Trial, by U.C. Berkeley law professor and born-again Christian Phillip E. Johnson is published. It becomes the handbook for the Intelligent Design movement and actually coins the term "Intelligent Design."
1992 — The Wedge Strategy
At a Southern Methodist University conference called "Darwinism: Scientific Inference or Philosophical Preference?" a new strategy is proposed. The idea grows into the so-called "wedge strategy" set forth in a 1999 memorandum by the Discovery Institute (see below). The wedge strategy aims to insert religion into public schools as the first step towards returning American culture to a pre-scientific state that accepts religious, not scientific, explanations for natural phenomena.
1996 — The Discovery Institute
The Discovery Institute establishes the Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture to promote Intelligent Design using the Wedge Strategy.
1997 — Freiler v. Tangipahoa Parish Bd of Ed
In Freiler v. Tangipahoa Parish Board of Education, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana rules unconstitutional a public school board policy requiring teachers to read aloud a disclaimer of endorsement of the scientific theory of evolution whenever they teach about evolution, ostensibly to promote "critical thinking." Besides striking down the disclaimer policy, the decision is noteworthy for recognizing that "Intelligent Design" is an alternate description of "creation science." The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upholds the ruling and the Supreme Court declines to hear an appeal of the decision.
1999 — Bleeding Kansas
The Kansas State Board of Education votes 6-4 to accept diminished science standards that removed virtually all reference to evolution.
2000 — LeVake v. Independent School District
A state judge in Minnesota dismisses the case of Rodney LeVake v Independent School District No. 656, et al. High school biology teacher LeVake had claimed a constitutional right to teach "evidence both for and against the theory" of evolution, contrary to the school district's science curriculum. The decision is upheld Minnesota Court of Appeals and further review is denied by the Minnesota and U.S. Supreme Courts.
2001 — The Santorum Amendment
Phillip Johnson, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, helps draft the Santorum Amendment to what later becomes the No Child Left Behind Act, promoting the teaching of Intelligent Design. The amendment — which encourages science teachers to teach criticisms of evolution — is ultimately stripped from the bill, although Intelligent Design proponents consider the effort a victory.
2003 — Johnson Comes Clean (Finally)
Johnson states on a Christian radio talk show that "Our strategy has been to change the subject a bit, so that we can get the issue of intelligent design, which really means the reality of God, before the academic world and into the schools."
2004 — Intelligent Design Comes to Dover
Lawyers for the Thomas More Center, a right-wing Catholic legal group, persuade the Dover, Penn., school board to teach Intelligent Design in science classes and promise to defend the school board from the inevitable lawsuit.
2005 — Bush Sides Against Science
In August, President Bush states that schoolchildren should be taught about Intelligent Design along with evolution as competing theories. "Teach the controversy" becomes the latest mantra of Creationists.
2005 — Court Rejects Intelligent Design
From October to December, in Kitzmiller v. Dover, a team of lawyers, on behalf of eleven parents of Dover students, argues that Intelligent Design undermines basic definitions of science and is nothing more than religious belief under a new name. The court rules that Intelligent Design is not science and, as with creationism, that teaching Intelligent Design as science violates the constitutional separation of church and state. Even before the ruling is made, all six pro-Intelligent Design Dover School Board members are voted off the school board and replaced by a pro-evolution slate.
2006 — Kansas Tug-of-War
In 2002, an election had turned the board back over to pro-science members, who returned the state curriculum to scientifically accepted standards. A 2004 election changed the board's make-up again. In November 2005, the board changes the state's science standards to add substantial criticism of evolution. In 2006 primary elections, moderate candidates are again victorious, guaranteeing a pro-science majority after the November general election.
2006 — Evolutionary Biology Disappears from Federal Grant List
In a list of majors eligible for federal Smart Grants — named for the National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent program — the Department of Education leaves off Evolutionary Biology. Majors are listed by Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) codes, but the DOE leaves a blank line for number 26.1303, the CIP code for Evolutionary Biology.
Despite defeat after defeat, creationists have continued to attack science and refused to accept the constitutional mandate that prohibits government from endorsing any particular religious viewpoint. Over the course of the fight to ensure science's critical place in the classroom, anti-Darwin activists have reshaped and renamed their tactics, but it's clear that their goal — to discredit science and promote a specific religious worldview in public schools — has remained the same. No doubt creationists will continue their efforts as the country continues to stave off attacks on quality science as an accepted standard for schools and textbooks.
Learning about religion is an important part of a high school education, but religious instruction shouldn't shortchange science. Religion is, and should be, discussed, in classes on World Religions, the History of Religion, and art and literature classes that draw on religion's legacy.
People For the American Way Foundation is committed to protecting quality science education and will continue to inform Americans about the dangers of teaching religious beliefs in public school science classrooms.

The Bachelor of Science degree in sport studies is designed for students interested in careers in wellness and leisure industries, sports management, sports communication, sport sociology, allied health fields, sports psychology, rehabilitation, fitness and coaching.
This non-teaching major also positions graduates for admission to a range of graduate programs supporting practice and research in human performance and the allied health professions.
Study in human movement and exercise will provide sport studies majors with a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and psychosocial foundations of movement in exercise and sport.
The framework of the sport studies program offers students a unique movement-based experience. Students choose from among five cognate tracks:
Muscle physiology
My original research interest is in the use of amino acids by muscle cells and how this relates to the structure of these cells. Certain amino acids (the branched chain amino acids - leucine, isoleucine and valine) are oxidized by muscle cells. At the same time, however, these amino acids are obviously vital for protein synthesis.
My graduate research demonstrated a functional compartmentation of the leucine used for oxidation from that used for protein synthesis. Leucine for oxidation came preferentially from outside the cell, while leucine incorporated into protein came preferentially from protein degradation (reutilization). This research also utilized an accurate method for measuring protein synthesis in muscle tissue by measuring the incorporation of radio labeled leucine into protein and correcting for the unlabeled leucine being reutilized from protein degradation by measuring the specific activity of aminoacyl-tRNA.
My postdoctoral work, funded by a grant from the Muscular Dystrophy Association, measured leucine pools (intracellular and leu-tRNA) in normal and dystrophic chicken skeletal muscle cells.
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Indian Pipe
At St. Bonaventure University, I have studied the biochemistry and molecular biology of the parasitic plant Monotropa uniflora (Indian pipe). This plant lacks chlorophyll and presumably is a parasite on its mycorrhizal fungus.
Dr. Al Finocchio, professor emeritus, has studied the plant structure and its relationship with the fungus. In an attempt to study the nutritional relationship between the plant and the fungus, I examined chromatographic techniques to separate monosaccharides and disaccharides, some of which are found only in plants or fungi. More recently, I have studied the genetics of Monotropa.
Published studies on another parasitic plant (Epifagus virginiana ) indicate that a number of plastid genes are no longer present. My hypothesis is that a similar process has occurred in Monotropa. Three students (Carrie Schnell, Michael Anderson and Rob Maul) have worked with me to isolate total DNA from Monotropa (and a photosynthetic control, Arabidopsis thalica ), cut up the DNA with restriction enzymes, and separate the fragments by gel electrophoresis.
The ultimate goal is to hybridize these DNA fragments with restriction fragments and/or gene probes from chloroplast DNA so as to determine if genes have been lost from the plastid genome of Monotropa.

Cell phone call leads to accident
An accident in the city of Dunkirk injured one person on March 16. At 11:47 p.m. Dunkirk Police responded to a one-car accident on Franklin Avenue in Dunkirk. According to police, Iris M. Gonzalez, 46, of Fredonia was driving south on Franklin when she received a phone call. Gonzalez told police she leaned over to answer the phone and realized she had driven into a ditch. The vehicle came to rest on the passenger side on the west side of Franklin Avenue near Tenney Street. Gonzalez had to be extricated by Dunkirk Fire Department. She was taken to Brooks Memorial Hospital by Alstar Ambulance. The vehicle was towed and Gonzalez was charged with using a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle and failure to use designated lane.

Taylor talks about the scene where Bella/Kristen punches him
i have noticed that Rob takes some interviews more seriously than others. i was beginning to get a little frustrated with how he just seems to be goofing off all the time with these BD2 interviews more so than all the other twilight promos. but i think it depends on whose interviewing..and what kind of questions he's asked. the more introspective the questions get, the more flippant his answers...e.g do you think? how do you feel? do you enjoy? Factual questions are better answered e.g what are you doing next? what is the difference?ReplyDelete
I noticed that too,Kristen is more serious now with her answer and less nervous no matter how nonsense the Q are.Rob's answer are getting more and more ridiculous as the Q gets more ridiculous too.But as you say he answer it well when the Q got more sense.ReplyDelete
ya know i love trolling Rob but sometimes it gets too much. I think the girl from the Insider noticed that too and asked if he's always this silly and irreverent. I dont wanna read in too much but i can smell her frustration towards him.
And yea, KS seems to be more poise with her interviews this time.
I noticed that too. It all depends on the interviewer. I like the interview fom photo pictures. He was really nice.ReplyDelete
You've got to admit that most of the questions were just EXTREMELY BORING!!
Of course he's goofing around so musch. I am so surprised that they didn't fall in asleep after all these interviews.
I think that Rob's answers to some of the questions are a little bit "silly" sometimes because, for one thing most of the questions that are being asked were almost identical from one reporter to another. I don't know how much enthusiasm can you put on the same question and answer over and over again. Rob is a very smart guy and if were to ask him an intellectual question for sure he'll also give you an intellectual answer. Yes, I definitely agree that Kristen is more serious with her answers and less shy. She seemed to have matured overnight and she truly carries herself elegantly. In a way, the two of them kind of balances each other........ maybe?ReplyDelete
Completely agree!!, i mean, how many times can he be asked (and give a different or at least not so similar answer): 'so, is this a bittersweet moment for you?"; "what advice would you give to your old self on the first film?"; or "how does it feel now that's ending", that last one i think they've been answering since eclipseDelete
Jeanne Wolf is a very good interviewer, she seems to really like them and they respect her, all her interviews with Rob have been really good!ReplyDelete
Rob, Kristen and Taylor's interview with Jeanne Wolf were really good. Their answers to the questions seemed really sincere and honest. I truly enjoyed watching the videos. Thank you, Ingi for posting them.ReplyDelete
After this Kristen interview, I am really worried about myself watching this movie. I am one of those who does not want it to end and she said the knife will be twisted for those like myself. The knife is already twisting!ReplyDelete
I think these interviews were great. I think Rob is having a hard time saying goodbye to Twilight and is joking to keep himself from getting too emotional. I hope you caught what he said about happy endings and the big, shy smile he gave. I think Rob and Kristen will get their happy ending. Actually, I think they already have.ReplyDelete
I also think Rob has gotten to the point that he knows everything he says will be twisted. He's said it over and over and now I think he just says whatever he wants bc it doesn't matterReplyDelete

Everyone can benefit from improved mental health
HOUGHTON – Some people stereotype mental health only in terms of severe mental disabilities, but that's a very incomplete picture. Everyone can benefit from improved mental health.
That's a big part of Mental Health America's message throughout May, which is Mental Health Month. This year's theme is Pathways to Wellness, which focuses not only on getting healthy, but staying healthy.
"Mental health is for everybody," said Taryn Mack, director of the Copper Country Mental Health Services Institute, which focuses on prevention and training. "We know if people are mentally healthy, if they're adults, they're better workers, better parents, better spouses, better friends."
Mental health concerns affect about one in 10 Americans, but fewer than 25 percent of those people with a diagnosable mental health disorder seek treatment.
A big part of that problem is the negative stigma surrounding mental health treatment – though it is improving.
"A lot of people think that a mental health disease is not quite as serious as a physical disease," Mack said. "Most people if they had heart disease wouldn't just forget about it and think it would go away – they would definitely go seek medical attention for that, and people wouldn't think anything bad about that. But when we think about mental illness, people think if they just pull themselves up by their bootstraps, if they just think more positive, it would go away.
"The stigma definitely impacts that, but there's some studies that have indicated that the stigma is reducing."
Many times, though, mental illness – which causes mild to severe disturbances in thinking, perception and behavior – has a biological component, such as a chemical imbalance in the brain that can lead to depression. Mack compared that scenario to somebody with diabetes and blood sugar.
"You wouldn't just assume if you just let it go (diabetes) would just go away," she said. "(For depression) you need to get the medication to balance the chemicals in your brain, but it's more effective if you also talk with a mental health professional."
Fortunately, the health care industry is starting to utilize a more integrated model of treatment, which recognizes the connection between mental and physical components.
"That's one of the things in our society we've messed up on is overlooking the connection between all of these things," said Debbie Makkonen, Cognitive Behavioral Therapist with Copper Country Community Mental Health.
The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 is helping further integrate mental and physical health by requiring group health insurance plans to make sure coverage for mental health is no more restrictive than for medical or surgical procedures. Therapy, often covered now through insurance, is a helpful treatment worth pursuing.
"Everyone could use therapy at one time or another," Makkonen said. "We all have problems and issues to deal with in life and the ability to talk to someone whose only investment is to help you figure out the best way for you to function at the highest level is very beneficial toward recovery."
Recognizing the interaction between the mental and the physical can help with treating mental issues outside a clinical setting as well, and pursuing wellness.
An example is a recent study Mack cited on exercise and depression. Regular aerobic exercise 60 minutes a day, three days a week can have the same effect as an anti-depressant for somebody who is mildly and moderately depressed.
In the Copper Country in particular, Seasonal Affective Disorder is more common due to the long, dark winter, but diet considerations and Vitamin D supplements can help.
MHA suggests four simple steps toward wellness, which, once again, reflect both mental and physical health: 1) a healthy diet, 2) regular exercise, 3) relaxation (reducing stress) and 4) plenty of rest.
Avoiding alcohol and drugs is also important, and many people may not realize that alcohol is a depressant.
In terms of stress management, there are many ways to help, whether it be simply reducing the workload, limiting constant connections to technology or volunteering in the community.
"If you reach outside of yourself and help others … you have a more positive attitude," Mack said. "We have lots of opportunities for volunteering."

For more information on Copper Country Community Mental Health, including its main office in Houghton and satellite offices in Ontonagon, L'Anse and Calumet, visit cccmh.org. The emergency mental health services line during business hours is 482-9404, or after hours 1-800-526-5059. For non-emergency services, call 1-888-906-9060.

Short, black African-American hair is twisted into a multitude of spunky coils just about even in length throughout the head. The field of upraised coils is broken only by a section on one side of the head. Here, a wedge-shaped area starting at the hairline just above the ear and ending in a point almost on the crown is made up of flat cornrows. Small intricate braids leave clean lines of scalp between them, and at some point, they are crisscrossed.

Sao Paulo pizza
January 24, 2011, 12:46:37 PM »
Last night I went to visit my dad, and we made some pizza. We talked a bit about some different types and got on the subject of pizza in Sao Paulo. I was born there but moved to the US when I was little so I don't know much about it. There is very little written on it as a distinct style of pizza. So, I wanted to see if I could distill what makes the pizza there unique. It looks about the same as New York style but tastes very different, unlike anything I've had in the US. He had some knowledge of the methods from observing at pizzerias, from friends and from making it himself.
Sao Paulo is a huge city so there are tons of pizzerias (pizz
rias in Portuguese) and as one might expect the quality varies tremendously. I used to think that you could walk into any random place and get a good pizza, but like with New York that is not the case. Still, there are some very good ones. There are some famous older places in traditionally Italian neighborhoods that make pizzas closer to the Italian standard (not sure what region predominates) as well as places throughout that make the more unique style I mentioned. There are also newer gourmet pizzerias that my dad says are very overrated. The ones I remember best were not at all gourmet places, and usually just neighborhood takeout/delivery places.
The elements that he identified were:
: thin crust, usually rolled out with a pin. There is usually sugar in the dough, and sometimes a little oil. There is a good amount of salt added. I think the normal size is about 14-15" with a 1/2" or less outer rim. It varies from place to place, but generally the rim is more flat than puffy. Overall, similar to most NY-style slice pizzas I've had.
My dad didn't know exactly but it seems most places do not use high-gluten flour. You can eat these by folding slices but a lot of people eat with a knife and fork. I think knife and fork is much more commonly seen at dine-in pizzerias. I don't remember the ones I've had being as firm as NY type slices.
: a lot of places use WFO's. I would guess they are not as hot as with, say, Neapolitan style. Bake times are probably in the 3-4 minute range. I don't know what those without WFO's use.
: this is one point that my dad really hates about the pizza there. It is typical to take fresh tomatoes and grind in a blender. The sauce is thus basically tomato juice with salt added. I don't remember seeing seeds in the past so they are probably ground up, too. I can confirm this is what my family there does when they make pizza. I do remember the sauce being much more pale compared to Italian- or American-style sauces with much lots of fresh tomato flavor even after the bake.
This seems to be one of the major contributing factors to the fresh taste. From what I remember the tomatoes available there are of good quality for most of the year.
: Seems to be the other big contributing factor to the unique taste. Brazilian aged mozzarella (usually spelled mussarela or muçarela) is very salty and a deeper yellow color. According to the Portuguese Wikipedia (
) it's made from raw milk there. The Wikipedia page has a picture of a typical Brazilian mozzarella brick.
A lot of places use big slices of cheese instead of shredded. They generally use a lot of cheese, probably what would be "extra cheese" on a typical US pizza. The pizzas I've had have had a lot of cheese, fully melted but only slightly browned.
: Oregano is almost, if not completely, universal. Some other common ones: deli-type ham slices, under the cheese; grated parmesan; basil; olives (often a few are added onto every pizza); aliche (anchovies); catupiry, a type of cream cheese; sausage; onions; tomato slices; ...
One type I remember having as a kid was only sauce and canned tuna fish, no cheese. I don't eat fish normally but I did like this a lot. I think people use this as a base like a cheese pizza, too.
I have no idea about pizza in other Brazilian cities. I'd imagine due to the ingredients available it's probably not too different, if at all, from the Sao Paulo style. Since I can't confirm I'll still call it SP-style for now.
That's about all I can think of. I hope this was interesting to you. I can't for the life of me find a decent picture of a SP pizza on Google, so I hope to get some when I go visit in a few weeks. Like I said before it's not particularly unique-looking, except maybe for the lightly browned aged mozzarella.

That is a nice and informative post. Thank you.
You might be interested in knowing that some of the big U.S. pizza chains that use fresh-pack tomatoes for their pizza sauces get their fresh-pack tomatoes for their stores outside of the U.S. in places like Portugal. See, for example, the Domino's ad at
. In the U.S., the dominant suppliers of fresh-pack tomatoes are Stanislaus, Escalon and San Benito.

Thanks, Peter, glad you found it interesting.
I have yet to order a can of fresh-pack tomatoes to compare them against a normal can and against fresh, non-canned tomatoes. The Sao Paulo pizzerias I know about do not use canned at all. The taste is thus closer to what you have on a salad or can of tomato juice than what you'd normally get on a pizza, with that purplish color instead of the usual orange-red. I'm having a hard time coming up with the right description, so I hope that gives you an idea.

Hi plainslicer,
I Live in Sao Paulo, and i could tell you about the pizza here... we have a similar story to NY, Italian (neapolitan) immigrants that missed there pizza started to make something similar to what they remembered and that turned in to the Sao Paulo Style, the Classic style here is still open by hand but only some places stick to the tradition, our flour is 10 to 11% protein and that is what all of the pizza places use, some of them use a special blend, there is allot of fresh mozz, but basically if you do not ask for fresh or buffala they will send you the block cured mozz....
for traditional here :
Casteloes (
) very traditional, the oldest here.... they use a 24h dough...
Speranza (
) the only VPN here in Brazil, quicker fermentation... but still good...
Margherita (
) basically a casteloes clone (they contracted casteloes staff about 20 years ago) but in a better neighborhood
New Style :
Rascal (
) more like old meets new... very good...
hope this helps !!

Keeping with my avocado, cherry tomato and red onion theme with a crust using yogurt, dash of salt, IDY and half and half WW (Integral) and all purpose flour. Same day dough, I'm going to try a extended ferment later and see what it's taste profile is like. And yes, it tasted healthy and different. Oh, and I found some Edam cheese which although for me is expensive here in Mexico, it is lower in fat.Don
Don,This yogurt dough looks amazing! Did you treat it exactly as water or did you add a little extra? This is something I'd like to try. Tangy?- Chris
I originally wanted to do a Jim Beam pizza but after a failed attempt decided to use something more expendable!
I've been wondering what a small amount of bourbon added to the dough would taste like.Did you use 100% tequila in the dough, or some water too? What did it taste like? How pronounced was the tequila flavor? How was the texture - similar or different from a similar water based dough?CL
Cool PiedP. I'd thought about booze (as opposed to wine), but thought it might croak the yeast in a high enough concentration. Guess not!

Federal protection and few natural predators has resulted in thriving wild horse and burro populations that increase in number each year.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) monitors rangeland conditions and wild horse and burro herds to determine if the number of animals; including licensed livestock and wildlife the land can support. When necessary, to maintain healthy rangelands, the BLM gathers excess wild horses and burros from areas where vegetation and water will become too scarce if overpopulated.
These excess animals are offered for adoption to qualified people through the Adopt a Wild Horse or Burro Program. The BLM holds adoptions at temporary locations throughout the United States year round. For more information about scheduled adoptions in your area, please visit the BLM's National Adoption Schedule.
In addition, the BLM offers the public several permanent adoption centers and facilities to visit and adopt a wild mustang or burro. You may also call the BLM's National Wild Horse and Burro toll free number at (866) 4MUSTANGS for additional information. The BLM also maintains a facility report, which shows the numbers of animals at various holding facilities.
The BLM also offers wild horse and burro Internet adoptions at the Internet Adoptions page.
The BLM has wild horse training agreements with state correctional institutes in Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. These locations also serve as adoption centers. Contact your state field office for details.

Schools tighten security over spring break
SARANAC LAKE – The Saranac Lake Central School District has implemented new security measures in the wake of the December school shootings in Newtown, Conn., and additional precautions will be in place at some school buildings when students and staff return from spring break next month.
Locking more doors, installing new swipe-card security systems and video cameras, and staff training are some of the measures that are planned or have already been implemented.
"Some of the stuff is pretty common sense," said Superintendent Gerald Goldman. "We're funneling everybody through one entrance, making sure all the other doors are locked. Some of it is just taking a renewed emphasis with our own employees to not leave a door open. We're putting some cameras in strategic places, new card readers, and trying to make the high school, especially, a little more secure. Bloomingdale is certainly a lot more secure."
Goldman estimated the total cost of the security upgrades at all the district's buildings at $25,000 to $30,000.
At the high school, Principal Bruce Van Weelden said some stop-gap security measures were implemented while waiting for a more permanent solution, the swipe cards, to be installed over the two-week spring break, which began Friday.
"What we're doing right now is, we've actually locked up the upper (parking) lot entrance around 7:45 a.m. to 8 a.m., so all of our staff should be in by that point in time," Van Weelden said. "It creates some inconvenience because the staff members don't have a key to that entryway, so we've had to station a monitor there, and that monitor is responsible for letting in staff members or the kids going out to the garage to work on automotives."
Van Weelden said the lower parking lot entrance to the high school, below the gymnasium, is now being locked during the school day. The district office doors, just a short distance away, are not being locked so as not to inconvenience people coming to pay their tax bills, the principal explained.
"We've tried to direct as much traffic as possible through the main entryway throughout the course of the day," Van Weelden said. "It's not perfect right now because we don't have the lock and swipe-key system."
Soon after teachers and staff return from break, they'll be given swipe cards to access the building and signs will be posted notifying the public that they'll need to use the main entryway to get into the school, Van Weelden said. A buzz-in system will be installed at that door and at the district offices, he said. A monitor will also be stationed at the main entrance to buzz in students who are returning from BOCES programs or doctors' appointments, Van Weelden said.
A new swipe-card security system is also being installed at Bloomingdale Elementary School, Goldman said.
A swipe-card system has already been in place at the Petrova Elementary and Saranac Lake Middle School building, where additional security precautions are set to take effect.
The doors to the Petrova building will be locked throughout the day beginning April 8, the first school day after the two-week vacation. Previously, some of the buildings doors were left open at the beginning and end of the school day. Petrova Principal Josh Dann and Middle School Principal Patricia Kenyon recently sent parents a letter notifying them of the change.
"Due to recent events, there have been reviews of our safety measures and procedures," the letter reads. "A review of the Petrova building procedures has highlighted the need to make sure doors are locked consistently throughout the entire day. We understand this may seem inconvenient at times but our top concern is the safety of the children of Saranac Lake."
Starting on April 8, students will enter the Petrova building through Door 2, which is the center door at the school's bus drop-off loop. There will be a monitor at the gym door from 7:15 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. to admit middle school students dropped off by their parents at that door.
Visitors to the Petrova building will only be able to enter through Door 2 and must report to the elementary school office to receive a visitor's pass. Parents dropping items off for their children are asked to leave them in the elementary office.
At dismissal time, elementary students can meet their parents outside Door 2 at 3:20 p.m. Students will be dismissed by grade level, beginning with kindergarten and ending with fifth-graders.
In addition, school officials have had meetings and building walk-throughs with police, firefighters and other first responders. Staff have also been told to be more vigilant.
"We've spent a lot of time talking about the best preventive measure involving violence is to know your community and your kids and your people, to take an interest," Goldman said. "I think that's our building administrators' constant thrust. It's not glitzy, but if you know something about someone that is getting your attention, don't ignore it. I still think that's best measure that a community can take to protect itself."

Team USA finished the first day of competition Saturday at the British Open in West Sussex, United Kingdom with three bronze medal wins.
Ryan Reser (Colorado Springs, Colo./U.S. Olympic Training Center/73kg), the 2001 British Open Champion, won his first two matches of the day, including a nine-second win by ippon (instant win, similar to a knockout in boxing) over Emmanuel Kojo Nartey (GBR). Reser dropped his third match to eventual silver medalist Craig Ewers (GBR), but worked his way through the repechage, winning two more matches by ippon to claim the silver medal.
Taylor Takata (Brownsville, Texas/Brownsville USA Judo National Training Site/66kg) looked to have a chance to claim his first British Open title, reeling off three wins before losing in the semi-finals to Colin Oates (GBR). Takata then advanced where he won on a penalty over Osamu Kawakami (JPN).
Eva Smith (Fall River, Mass./Taki-Gawa) rebounded from a loss in her first match to eventual gold medalist Simone Callender (GBR) to win a bronze with wins over Stephanie Hart (GBR) and Caroline Pont (GBR). Long considered to be the top junior heavyweight in the United States, Smith moved into the top U.S. ranking this fall with podium finishes at the U.S. Open and Rendez Vous Canada.
Another junior athlete making his mark on the senior scene was Bobby Lee (Lauderhill, Fla./North Miami USA Judo National Training Site) who posted a 4-2 record in his first British Open to finish fifth - the best finish for the 17-year-old in a senior international tournament.
Complete results are as follows:
Women's 63kg
1. Sarah Clark (GBR)
2. Laetitia Blot (FRA)
3. Africa Gutierrez (ESP)
3. Maite Rongier (FRA)
9. Kayla Harrison (Middletown, Ohio/Renshuden), 2-2.
9. Kristen Allan (Springfield, Va./Sport Judo), 2-2.
Women's 70kg
1. Anne Lauie Poli (FRA)

On March 17, the UN Security Council voted to pass UN Security Council Resolution 1973. Ambassador Susan Rice, the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, discussed the passage of the resolution, which she said, was designed to protect civilians and strengthen the pressure on the Qadhafi regime.
Ambassador Rice said, "[T]he U.S. is very pleased with today's vote and with the strong provisions of Resolution 1973. This resolution should send a strong message to Colonel Qadhafi and his regime that the violence must stop, the killing must stop, and the people of Libya must be protected and have the opportunity to express themselves freely.
"This resolution was designed to do two important things: protect civilians as well as strengthen the pressure on the Qadhafi regime through a substantial tightening of sanctions. Provisions for enforcement of the arms embargo, a ban on flights in and out of Libya with, in particular, a focus on those that may be carrying mercenaries, the designation of additional individuals and core Libyan-owned government companies for asset freezes, and a range of other very important measures. Taken together, the elements of Resolution 1973 are powerful and they ought to be heeded by the Qadhafi regime."
In response to a question from a reporter, Ambassador Rice said, "We think that today's resolution is a strong message that reemphasizes what was already in 1970. As many of our colleagues you heard today on the Council said, and as the United States has said repeatedly, Qadhafi has lost his legitimacy. There is no justification for his continued leadership now that he has perpetrated violence against his own people. We have had the opportunity, as you acknowledged, to meet with the opposition, and we are actively looking at what options might follow."
You can read Ambassador Rice's complete remarks here.
W.W. writes:
LIBYA SETTLING DOWN TO CIVIL WAR The regimes recently overthrown in Tunisia and Egypt were oligarchies under autocratic leaders, but these countries had had regular elections, although the latter were systematically criticized by international observers. Libya has been an autocracy under Moamar Qaddafi for several decades and there has been no pretension of holding open elections, running a democratic system or enforcing laws that apply to all citizens. In short, the idea of "corruption" or "illegal action" does not apply in Libya: you are either with the system and Qaddafi or against them. According to the BBC (0223 BBC, Libya - Who is propping up Gaddafi): "Unlike in Egypt or Tunisia, it is not the conventional military that holds the balance of power in Libya. Instead, it is a murky network of paramilitary brigades, 'revolutionary committees'." Reportedly many European mercenaries have been recruited recently by the regime (0227 Renseignor/Medi-1): "Mercenary Serb and Ukrainian pilots for combat aircraft in Libya" and Polisario ground troops paid by Gaddafi. Therefore, overthrowing the Qaddafi regime cannot be done in the name of respecting national institutions or making them work as they are supposed to work; it can only be done by replacing or destroying the existing regime, which is an open invitation to coup d'etat politics or civil war. Qaddafi came to power by a coup d'etat and has managed to prevent one against his regime. This leaves civil war as more-or-less the only solution for getting rid of Qaddafi and his regime, and that's were developments are at present.
John in Canada writes:
Good news and great job. Keep an eye on Iran, they are clever and if what I read is correct. Well they are playing not just a PR game – they are playing an intense ideological game. I can't help but think this is how we fall down in the region and it is precisely here that we need to pick up our game. It will pay dividends and save lives not just American. Handled right and Americas fortunes in many ways both at home and abroad will improve. America deserves as much peace as any other country. May God light your way to that future.
P.J. in the U.S.A. writes:
I support this resolution 1973. All civilians really need protection, especially during war.
O.K. in the United Kingdom writes:
You only have to look back to October/November 2010 and you can now see the path of a very bitter man being constructed. Gaddafi had approached the EU for over $6 billion to help him fight immigration issues - and if they didnt help that; "Europe would be flooded with Muslims" within months.
This is definately not the words of a leader who is or would be thinking of using the money to top up arms for his Military, do you think?

Winter 2001
Volume 5 Number 1
by Chris Hays
David Miller came to the M.Div. program after a long business career, and when he graduated in 1998, he had a vision for an organization that would help people and companies make sense of their duties to their businesses and to their God.
"Most people spend more time at work than anywhere else, certainly than at church," Miller says. "Well, let's see—is God interested in this?"
In his introductory Hebrew class, Miller had been struck by the word avodah. It means work, service, and worship, all wrapped up in one.
A friend in market research offered to do a pro bono study to test reaction to the name. It was a great name, she concluded, but not one he should use. "You're going to spend all your time explaining to people what it means," she said.
Two years later, that's exactly what he does, and the Avodah Institute is slowly taking shape as Miller simultaneously works on a Ph.D in social ethics. From an office in downtown Princeton, he is laying the foundation for a "virtual institute"—one that does not have a large staff but convenes special seminars when there is demand or a pressing issue. He can even envision a day when a concerned company might hire the institute to function as a theologically informed consulting firm to study a proposal from both business and biblical perspectives.
So far, Miller has assembled a board of trustees that includes the CEO of The ServiceMaster Company and the president of PepsiCo, Inc., and although he is the only staff member, Avodah's web site (www.avodahinstitute.com) was recently named a "Hot Site" by USA Today. Last spring he brought thirty executives to Princeton for a seminar on business ethics with PTS professor Max Stackhouse and a professor from Harvard Business School.
"We put 'em in a room, stirred it up, closed the door, and saw what happened," Miller says.
What happened was a moving interfaith discussion that helped the attendees think through the intersection of business and faith in areas as various as the purpose of wealth and domestic-partner benefits.
The issues are many. "Some [business leaders] feel a real tension in the Sunday-Monday gap," Miller notes. "Some feel guilt, some feel estranged."
He sees it as a challenge to find a way to talk about ethics without turning off non-Christians and those who are weary of the Christian Right, yet also to make it clear that the institute takes faith seriously and comes from a particular tradition.
Often, of course, no explaining is necessary.
"A lot of people get really excited when they hear what we're doing," Miller says. "They get excited just that someone's paying attention."
After graduating from Bucknell in 1979, Miller, now forty-three, worked for IBM for eight years, then went into banking, eventually working his way into a partnership in a small private bank in London. "Pastors never talked about my world," he explains. "If anything, it was a negative example."
But as Miller points out, work is one of humankind's divinely mandated purposes from the beginning of creation.
"Businesses are no more fallen and dysfunctional than the church," he says. "There are churches that pay poorly and work people too hard, and there are good businesses that treat their employees very well."
Miller believes that ministers and congregations need to discuss business just as much as businesses need to discuss ethics. To that end, he also hopes to connect with churches and seminaries through Avodah.
In the future, he may have an opportunity to spread the word directly by teaching. Surprised to be accepted into the Ph.D program, Miller will be spending a few more years at Princeton with his wife of twenty-one years, Karen. They traded a London townhouse for a spot in Tennent Hall.
Miller emphasizes that he is not trying to construct a stand-alone "workplace theology," but rather to affirm work's fundamental place within any theology.
The task of influencing the mainstream, he acknowledges, is a huge one.
"It's impossible," he says. "That's what's exciting about it."

Very nice hempseed, nutty favor is excellent!
BEST taste ever!!!
Posted by parttimehealthyeater on Sep 13, 2016
This is my first time trying out hemp seeds and I absolutely LOVE this! I was sceptical about it at first so I ordered this smaller pack size but my family finished it within days so now I'm ordering a much bigger size! It has a nutty taste sort of like shredded pine nuts. You can put it on top of anything, salad, smoothie, yogurt, toast, etc.
Posted by 5635671299863345815 on Oct 07, 2016
I have digestive issues and cannot digest nuts so i decided to try out seeds. These are amazing, they actually have a nutty, buttery flavour. Great in smoothies.

Love hempseed! Lovely nutty flavour and lots of proteins and essential fatty acids. I use it in smoothies, baking, chocolate, salads and add them to whatever else I am able to sneak them into.

Steelo Cosmetics Bronzey Summer Look
Sorry for no post yesterday. I was supposed to have this video up but I was having technical difficulties. I've been meaning to do this tutorial for a while where I do a look on myself using Steelo Cosmetics. You've seen me do a couple of posts on this brand...it's definitely one of my favorite lines of makeup out there. My only tutorial on it featured my Best Friend Saiesha. This time, I wanted to show the versatility of this brand as well as how it can work on various skin tones.
I also showed off the mineral foundation in this tutorial. I touched on it briefly before, but Steelo's foundation is amazing in its attention to undertones and variety for all ethnicities. You can try out foundation samples and I love how they break it down for you to help you find your perfect shade. If anything, breaking it down into undertones is helpful. At this time, I'm an MD25. I recently came back from Savannah with a tan even more so than from the Philippines. When I tan, I tend to have a more red/bronzed undertone, so the MD shades work well.
Light to Medium Shades
-Neutral Undertones - Lightest shades
-Yellow Undertones: Popular colors among Asian and Latin Women.
-Red Undertones: Warm bronze with red undertone.
-Olive Undertones: Olive shades for light skinned women.
Medium to Dark Shades
-Yellow Undertones, Red Undertones: Shades are popular with African American Women.
-Copper Undertones: Popular for mid brown skinned African American women.
-Caramel-Brown Undertones: Mid range shades for darker skinned tones or classic browned skin women, popular with African American Women.
-Blue Undertones: Darker skin tones with blue and some red.
In terms of my tutorial, it's a very simple and easy summer look. I went for a light, bronzey feel which won't feel too heavy in the summer sun. The eyes have a mix of peaches, golds, and bronzes. The cheeks and lips are bronzey earth tones are well. This is perfect for you guys that love a more neutral look...enjoy the tutorial because I don't do neutral looks often!
Check out my video tutorial!
Here's What I Used - All Products from Steelo Cosmetics unless otherwise mentioned:
-Medium Eyeshadow Base
-Eyeshadow Trio in Entourage - light pink and burgundy colors
-Cosmo single eyeshadow
-Mandarin single eyeshadow
-Matte Beige eyeshadow
-Black eye kohl
-Red Cherry #76 lashes
-Earth Brown Brow Liner
-Black Mascara
-Mineral Foundation MD 25
-Terracotta Spice blush
-Body Shimmer in Fairy
-Sand lip pencil
-Runway lip gloss
The final look!
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

Less than a month into the New Year and the e-retailer and marketplace announces plans for three additional U.S. fulfillment centers.
Shoppers reach out to Santa this year with mobile phones
Mobile commerce is set to make big gains this holiday season.
If you needed more proof about the rise of mobile commerce, consider this: Usablenet Inc., which sells mobile technology, is working with at least 20 retailers that want to launch mobile sites by Black Friday, the frenzied shopping day after Thanksgiving. Nick Taylor, the firm's president, says up to 10 more projects soon could be in the pipeline.
That means Usablenet could double its mobile site work from last year, when the company helped launched 12 mobile sites in time for the holiday shopping season.
Need more evidence that Santa this year will be easier to reach through web-enabled mobile devices? Digby, another mobile technology vendor, won't say how many mobile site and app projects it is working on, but a company spokesman says the figure is a significant uptick from this time last year.
"We are hearing more and more that retailers are looking at mobile as a strategic cross-channel effort and are focused on enabling mobile web and rich downloadable applications for the iPhone, Blackberry and Android platforms," the spokesman says.
The growth in the number of mobile commerce projects shows that getting ready for the holidays increasingly means that online retailers will have to consider this channel, lest they lose their hold on consumers with a shop now, shop anywhere mindset. But that doesn't mean online retailers this holiday season should lose sight of the basics, either, as Lauren Freedman reminded me this week.
Freedman is president of the E-tailing Group, which regularly publishes research that shows where online retailers shine in pleasing consumers, and where they fall short. She offers this enduring advice for online retailers gearing up for the holidays: Have products in stock and make sure consumers don't have to wait while your site loads. If a retailer fails at those tasks, it is hard to see how a fancy mobile site or mobile app will reassure consumers.
Similar advice comes from PayPal, the payment processing service owned by eBay Inc., and which last year recorded a 140% spike in mobile payments on Black Friday compared with a typical Friday.
"While the influx of online traffic during the holiday season is a great problem to have, the increased demand from last minute customers may make order fulfillment a hectic and stressful process," says Eddie Davis, PayPal's senior director of SMB Merchant Services. "Try to incentivize your customers to shop early by offering deals like free shipping in advance of the holiday shopping crunch so you can spread out demand."
So, yeah, get started on that mobile commerce strategy, and do it yesterday. But don't lose sight of the grunt work, either, or you may just create some grumpy shoppers who might want to put coal in your stocking.
