CANANDAIGUA – Thompson Hospital recently became the first in the Finger Lakes to offer single-site gallbladder surgery, performed with the breakthrough technology offered by the da Vinci ® Surgical System.
"With gallbladder disease affecting a significant percentage of our population and gallbladder removals one of the most common surgeries performed, Thompson is pleased to be able to offer this minimally-invasive option to our patients," says Thompson Health President/CEO Michael F. Stapleton, Jr.
The operation is the latest made possible with the da Vinci ® Surgical System acquired by Thompson Health in 2012. This robotic system was already in use at Thompson for gynecological, urological and colorectal procedures.
Dr. A. David Peter, a board-certified general surgeon with the Canandaigua Medical Group and member of Thompson's medical staff, underwent specialized da Vinci training for the single-site gallbladder removals.
These surgeries, which involve a small incision in the navel, allow Peter to utilize 3D, high-definition visualization and to make smaller, more precise movements. Potential benefits include minimal pain, a quick recovery and high satisfaction among patients, who are left virtually scar-free.
"It's nearly invisible because it's hidden within the belly button," says Peter.
According to Peter, the more conventional laparoscopic gallbladder removal – which involves four small incisions – is still an excellent option for many patients. In addition, he notes, not all patients are candidates for single-site gallbladder removal.
If you are facing gallbladder surgery, discuss treatment options with your doctor. For details on da Vinci surgery at Thompson – including videos and patient testimonials – visit http://davincisurgery.thompsonhealth.com/.

TUPELO – Before clarifying the rules of the Lee County Spelling Bee on Monday, Dr. Derwood Tutor of the Tupelo Public School District imparted some words of wisdom gained through 19 years of involvement with the bee.
"Wonderful things happen at spelling bees, and sad things as well," he told the six spellers, the top three from both Lee County and Tupelo districts.
"You are already winners because you've made it this far. Just do your best."
After seven rounds, all but three spellers were felled by words like "iniminable," "catkin," and "pretzel," and when third-place speller Victor Milev was eliminated by the word "depilatory," soon-to-be victor Maria Kaltchenko knew her prize was within reach.
"I wasn't nervous," she said. "I read a lot and studied collections of words online."
Maria, a Milam sixth-grader, kept her cool through the rapid exchange with second-place finisher Jacob Roland until round ten, when Jacob, a Guntown seventh-grader, fell prey to "parlance."
Spelling rules dictate that when a competitor misspells a word, the remaining speller must spell his or her word for the round, as well as a finishing word. Coming to the competition with the first-place crown within her district, Maria Kaltchenko was no stranger to pressure.
Having already breezed through "charisma," she gracefully sealed the win.
"K-i-n-e-t-i-c," she said.
And with that, Maria will proceed to the Mid-South Spelling Bee held in Memphis on March 2. The winners of that competition will spell for the top title at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C. in May.
The 10-year-old is optimistic about her chances.
"I knew almost every word they said today," she said. "I'm just going to try to stay calm and take each word one at a time."
Kaltchenko's mother, Svetlana Kaltchenko, revealed her daughter also speaks French as well as Russian, and enjoys classic books like "Emma" and "Jane Eyre." "She did almost everything by herself," she said. "She's very determined. Even when she's nervous, she can pull herself together."
Tutor said he has seen spellers come and go, but he sees something special in Kaltchenko.
"She's going to do great," he said. "This competition can't be won by sounding words out. The winners are the ones who can see the word in their mind, and that's what she does."

Beach Hair Made Easy By John Masters Organic

When it comes to your barnet, these days it's all about faking it. Having already exposed the fact that no-one in Hollywood actually sports their natural hair color, here are some examples to ponder. While "bed-head' is all the rage, god forbid you'd actuallygo straight from pillow to coffee shop with a lopsided do and creases on your face. No, this look takes a lot of engineering. Similarly, "beach-hair". While actual beach hair resembles some kind of (cute) marine mammal when wet (I'm thinking seal), once it dries the true tangled horror of fizzy fly-away anarchy on a neck is revealed. Not pretty.

""It's not so much a frenzy as it was before, but in the long term it's going in the right direction." "
Sounds of Silence
Manufacturers invest considerable time and effort to try to lower decibel levels in business jet cabins, many of which are marvels of acoustic ingenuity. Still, there's no complete escape from the fact that a jet is pushing air out of its way at close to the speed of sound, propelled by a pair of turbines with blades spinning at many thousands of rpms and generating thousands of pounds of fiery thrust. You just can't make all that noise go mute.
But electronic noise-canceling headsets can help. These devices–often called active noise reduction (ANR) or active noise control or cancellation (ANC) headsets–were introduced during the 1986 around-the-world flight of Burt Rutan's Voyager. The Voyager was a tiny sarcophagus tube of an airplane, constructed of carbon fiber with piston/propeller engines in the nose and tail. With no insulation, it was incredibly loud, and with the crew facing nine days to circumnavigate the globe, fatigue was a huge issue.
MIT graduate electrical engineer Dr. Amar Bose, founder of the Bose Corporation, was already famous in hi-fi circles as creator of the direct-reflecting loudspeaker in 1968, which also used electronic phase manipulation to optimize sound reproduction. Dr. Bose began work on a noise-canceling headset in the late 1970s, and donated a pair of his prototypes for use on the Voyager flight.
The headsets work by combining passive and active noise-control strategies. "Passive" means simply isolating the ears from the outside world as much as possible. This is done by maximizing the cushioning seal around where the headset contacts the head and by applying as much pressure as possible to create that seal without causing a headache. It's a delicate balance.
"Active" noise canceling takes the technology a step further: Tiny microphones within the ear cup of the headset pick up the frequency of ongoing noise–from engines, wind around the fuselage, any noise that is constant; then tiny speakers inside the ear cups generate a matching frequency that is 180 degrees out of phase with the ambient noise. The result is almost total cancellation of the offending sound. Every ANR demonstration involves switching the electronics on and off to dramatize the drop-off in noise level. With the system on, it can get almost as quiet as when you ask your stockbroker to explain what happened in November 2008.
Some marketing campaigns have seemed to imply that ANR headsets can also block out unwanted conversation, but that's not true. The passive element might dull the sound of a fellow passenger droning on, but the electronic element acts only on a continuous frequency, such as engine noise. So unless the offending neighbor has an extremely monotone voice, the electronics won't cancel it. (Come to think of it, ANR might work if you're sitting next to economist Ben Stein).
There have been attempts to bring ANR technology to an entire aircraft cabin, and some have been successful in generating significantly lower decibel levels–but usually focused on a single cabin seat (the one where the boss is most likely to sit). And that brings us to some of the more subtle arguments for and against using ANR headsets in business aircraft.
It's true that ANR technology has the capability to reduce your fatigue level, particularly following a long day of flying–even in a jet that is significantly quieter than an airliner's first-class section. The down side is that one of the reasons people fly privately is because they can interact with colleagues along the way. And nothing says "leave me alone" like slipping on a headset.
If you're traveling with your boss, that might not be a savvy career move.

We've heard of pop-up shops but a pop-up piano? Thanks to the non-profit organization Sing for Hope, the sound of music will fill the streets from uptown to downtown and everywhere in between. This public art initiative features 88 public pianos (representative of the number of keys) that have been decorated by fashion and art world stars and placed throughout the five boroughs until July 2nd.
Diane's Steinway & Sons Baby Grand has been decked out in her signature chain link print and "Love is Life"mantra. It is appropriately stationed at Lincoln Center's Hearst Plaza, where she holds her bi-annual ready-to-wear fashion shows.
Of the 88 pianos, 10 of them – including Diane's – are available for bidding through July 14th on CharityBuzz.com. The money raised during the auction will benefit Sing for Hope's vision that all New Yorkers should have access to the arts. The volunteer program brings the arts to under-resourced communities.

I tried a technique that I've often heard about but never tried. "Addicted" posted a message not too long ago saying the same thing. Lift the edge of the dough closest to the handle of the peel and blow an air pocket under the dough.
Do you guys think this technique will work for a metal peel as well as a wood one? Also, what sized was the pizza that you used this technique for? Do think it would work for large pizzas - 16 inches?

The North East Region (NER) collaborated with USA Badminton (USAB) to hold a level 2 Community Coach Course (L2CC) from November 16-18, 2012. Thanks to the hard work of Diane Cornell (NER President) and Yvonne Chern (NER Vice-President), the course went on smoothly!
The course was hosted by Boston Badminton. The course instructors included Mohan (USAB Director of Coaching and High Performance), Dr. Fred Coleman (USAB Board Member, Junior Advisory Group Chair and Coaching Advisory Group member), Andy Chong (Boston Badminton Head Coach, USAB High Performance Coach and USAB High Performance Advisory Group member).
The course included a group of passionate coaches ranging from a parent to current volunteer coaches coaching within their respective communities which include clubs, schools, and universities. The ten participants included: Beth Sopka (NER Vice-President), Daniel Cheung, Henry Huang, Jun Yu, Michael Crawshaw, Peter Smith, Richmond Trinidad, Robert Morgenthaler, Sunil Polineni, Xitao Wang.
The L2CC focused more on the "how to coach" aspect rather than the "what to coach." This approach helped to guide the coaches to pay more attention to the 'coaching process, principles, learning styles, and organization." Mohan highlighted that, "The coach is a designer of stimuli for the players. Our primary role is to help players to be empowered. We should facilitate the players and let them discover for themselves. This helps the learning of new skills and tactics to be more meaningful."
In order to make the course more hands on for the course participants, Andy Chong and Yvonne Chern worked hard to organize volunteer "trainee players" selected from various age groups and abilities. The instructors on the other hand designed various challenging tasks and situations for the coaches to solve individually and in teams. At the end of the course, Andy evaluated each coach run a twenty minute coaching session.
Like always, each course group had its own unique characteristics. Each participant brought his or her own dimension to the course. It was a very interactive, fun filled and happy group!
Everyone had a blast!
USA Badminton appreciates Yvonne for being a cool host!

Keep pipes from freezing
Each winter, some 250,000 homes sustain damage when water pipes freeze and burst.
Recovering from frozen pipes is not as simple as calling a plumber.
An eighth-inch crack in a pipe can spew up to 250 gallons of water a day. Both plastic (PVC) and copper pipes can burst.
A frozen pipe can lead to a pipe burst, which can lead to more than $5,000 in water damage. Despite the current cold temperatures, there are still some last-minute actions you can take to reduce your risks of costly damage.
By taking a few simple precautions, homeowners can save the mess, money and aggravation that frozen pipes cause.
Before the cold hits
Insulate pipes in your home's crawl spaces and attic. These exposed pipes are most susceptible to freezing. Remember, the more insulation you use, the better protected your pipes will be.
Heat tape or thermostatically-controlled heat cables can be used to wrap pipes. Be sure to use products approved by an independent testing organization, such as Underwriters Laboratories Inc., and only for the use intended (exterior or interior). Closely follow all manufacturers' installation and operation instructions.
Seal leaks that allow cold air inside near where pipes are located. Look for air leaks around electrical wiring, dryer vents and pipes. Use caulk or insulation to keep the cold out and the heat in. With severe cold, even a tiny opening can let in enough cold air to cause a pipe to freeze.
Disconnect garden hoses and, if practical, use an indoor valve to shut off and drain water from pipes leading to outside faucets. This reduces the chance of freezing in the short span of pipe just inside the house.
When the mercury drops
A trickle of hot and cold water might be all it takes to keep your pipes from freezing. Let warm water drip overnight, preferably from a faucet on an outside wall.
Open cabinet doors to allow heat to get to uninsulated pipes under sinks and appliances near exterior walls.
Before you go away
Set the thermostat in your house no lower than 55 degrees.
Ask a friend or neighbor to check your house daily to make sure it's warm enough to prevent freezing or shut off and drain the water system.
Be aware that if you have a fire protection sprinkler system in your house, it will be deactivated when you shut off the water.
If your pipes freeze
Don't take chances. If you turn on your faucets and nothing comes out, leave the faucets turned on and call a plumber. If you detect that your water pipes have frozen and burst, turn off the water at the main shut-off valve in the house; leave the water faucets turned on.
Make sure everyone in your family knows where the water shut-off valve is and how to open and close it.
Never try to thaw a pipe with a torch or other open flame.
Water damage is preferable to burning down your house. You may be able to thaw a frozen pipe with the warm air from a hair dryer.
Start by warming the pipe as close to the faucet as possible, working toward the coldest section of pipe.
Do not use electrical appliances in areas of standing water because you could be electrocuted.
Below, the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) lists some common Frozen Pipe Myths:
1. Only A Plumber Can Prevent Frozen Pipes.
Not true. There are many things that you can do yourself to prevent your pipes from freezing, including sealing windows and doors, adding extra insulation, or use heat trace tape around various piping.
2. Your Risks Go Away When Temperatures Begin To Warm.
Actually, signs of a pipe burst are often only seen when temperatures begin to warm. When a pipe freezes the frozen water may act as a plug, allowing any problems to go unnoticed. Before checking to see if you have any issues when temperatures increase, shut off the water supply to reduce your water damage risks.
3. All Frozen Pipes Burst.
A pipe can freeze and not burst. However, a frozen pipe leads to a pipe burst, which can cause more than $5,000 in water damage. Prevent a pipe from bursting by not letting them freeze.
4. A Propane Torch Can Be Used To Thaw Pipes.
Don't even think about it! You may think it will thaw the pipes and prevent significant damage, but you are only increasing your risk of fire damage.

"Trust, but verify. "
Up Front: February 2014
John McCarthy dreamed about starting Business Jet Traveler long before he began working for our parent company, AIN Publications, in 1984. In fact, the concept originally came to him many years prior when he was the advertising manager for Piper Aircraft. That's when he first saw the need for a publication that could help business aviation passengers maximize their investment. After joining AIN, he continued to fine-tune the BJT concept for 19 more years before we published our first issue in 2003.
In the years that followed, John served as our publisher and involved himself in almost every aspect of the magazine. He consistently came up with ways for us to improve and evolve, all the while tweaking our circulation list to reach more users of business aviation. "I would wake up every morning thinking about BJT," he told me recently.
John came into the office earlier, and stayed later, than everyone else. He kept his desk and databases in perfect order and was one of the best ad sales representatives this industry has ever seen. "You can get a lot accomplished in the quiet time in the morning and the stillness in the evening after everyone has gone home," he told me, adding that "putting 10 percent more time into your workday will allow you to be 30 percent more productive."
"Productive" is certainly a word that applies to John. Though BJT was his baby, he took on countless other roles, overseeing sales and marketing for the entire AIN family of products, which he helped to grow from three print publications to 11 magazines (many published daily at airshows all over the world), two websites, six online newsletters, two apps and AINtv, an online video operation.
I will always be grateful for having had the opportunity to work directly for John when I started at AIN Publications (as group brand manager) in 2006. He was patient, detail-oriented and tough, but above all supportive. Nothing made me feel prouder than hearing John end a Friday with "you did a lot of great work this week." In fact, I still find myself evaluating my work based on whether or not I would be willing to show it to John. His expectation for excellence, which he applied mostly to himself, will always be a powerful motivator.
I'm as grateful for John's friendship as I am for his professional guidance. He invariably knows when it's time to step away from the computer, turn off all devices and order a round of cocktails. And despite his serious demeanor, he has a terrific sense of humor, a biting wit and a caring personality. More than once, he has helped me through a crisis and provided a shoulder to cry on.
John retired at the end of 2013, after 29 years with AIN Publications. While I'm happy that he's finally taking some time off, I'm already missing his leadership, creativity and counsel. Our company owes him a large debt. So do I.
Your Letters
What our readers had to say
Thank you for the kind remarks in your editorial about John McCarthy on his retirement from BJT [Up Front, February/March 2014]. I first met John back in our Piper days. He has a unique perspective on our industry and has contributed significantly to the maturity of private aviation.
Douglas H. Smith

Canada National Marine Conservation Areas
Routine Proceedings
June 7th, 2010 / 3:05 p.m.
Calgary Centre-North
Jim Prentice Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, I had the honour a few moments ago to table an order in council to formally establish the Gwaii Haanas National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and the Haida Heritage Site, both of these under the Canada National Marine Conservation Areas Act.
This is a remarkable achievement, one that this House envisioned some 23 years ago when it passed at that time a unanimous resolution supporting the protection of the lands and the waters around Gwaii Haanas. The House also called for the participation of the Haida in this conservation initiative.
Canada will become the first country to protect a region from the alpine meadows of the mountaintops, to the depths of the ocean floor beyond the continental shelf. For the Haida people, the land does not exist independently of the sea. By protecting some 5,000 square kilometres of water and land, we acknowledge that sacred connection.
We are working with the Haida to protect some of the world's most abundant and diverse marine habitats, home to over 3,500 kinds of marine species alone. It is known by many in the conservation world as the Galapagos of the north.
For hundreds of generations the Haida Nation has lived in harmony with this environment and today this wealth of marine resources continues to sustain local communities as well as recreational and also commercial fisheries. This new national marine conservation area reserve will ensure that this can continue.
With today's tabling, we take a significant step forward, the penultimate step forward, in protecting the incredible biodiversity in the reserves of Gwaii Haanas and we demonstrate world-class leadership in integrated oceans management.
I especially would like to acknowledge the strong and visionary leadership of my good friend, Guujaaw, President of the Haida Council and the many others within the Haida community, the Haida First Nation, who have done so much to make this marine conservation area a reality.
Together the Government of Canada and the Haida are demonstrating remarkable international leadership in protecting the lands and the waters of Gwaii Haanas for future generations, for our children, our grandchildren and their grandchildren.
I also want to acknowledge the oil and gas companies that voluntarily relinquished their petroleum rights in this special place: Petro-Canada, now Suncor Energy, Shell Canada, ExxonMobil Canada and Chevron Canada. Finally, I want to thank the Nature Conservancy of Canada for subsequently surrendering those rights to the federal administrator on behalf of the companies.
Tomorrow, nations around the world celebrate the oceans. It is a time for Canadians to reflect upon our remarkable marine heritage, from the Atlantic to the Arctic to the Pacific. This year we also celebrate 125 years since Canada created its first postage-sized national park, the Banff National Park at that time. What better way to celebrate World Oceans Day than to create a marine protected area that is unique in Canada, in North America and in the world? It is the first time on this planet that we have protected an ecosystem from 2,000 feet below the surface of the ocean to 4,000 feet above it on the mountaintops.
What better way to celebrate the legacy of our park system than by designating Canada's first national marine conservation area under the Canada National Marine Conservation Areas Act, a piece of legislation that is now 10 years old?
This year the United Nations International Year of Biodiversity, Canada is bestowing another remarkable gift to the world. With Parliament's support, which started here 23 years ago, Canada will now provide opportunities for visitors to develop their own personal connections with the wilderness area and opportunities to experience and learn the Haida culture, a truly unique experience in the world. Through these experiences, all Canadians can develop a greater appreciation of the inseparable nature of the land, the sea and our people.
Twenty-three years ago, the House unanimously called for action to protect Gwaii Haanas. Parliament responds today with the finalization of the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and the development of a collaborative relationship with the Haida.
Today, on the eve of World Oceans Day, we honour and renew the call to action through an order-in-council to formally establish the Gwaii Haanas National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and the Haida Heritage Site. I thank everyone in the House who makes this possible.

David McGuinty Ottawa South, ON
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the official opposition, I am pleased to rise today to support the establishment of the Gwaii Haanas National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and the Haida Heritage Site. Today's announcement is doubly important because it creates the first ocean national marine conservation area under the Canada National Marine Conservation Areas Act.
This law was passed in 2002 under a Liberal government. It was far-sighted and remains to this day an essential piece of legislation to meet Canada's commitments to protecting marine biodiversity and cultural heritage and ensuring sustainable marine use. This act, along with the Oceans Act of 1996, which the then-Liberal government also passed, were and are considered landmarks internationally for marine conservation.
Although progress has been made in designating marine protected areas, Canada's national and international commitments to establish a network of marine protected areas has yet to be realized. In establishing Gwaii Haanas, the people of Canada are fulfilling a long-held and overdue promise that successive governments have made to the Haida and the people of British Columbia to establish this as a marine conservation area.
Although we commend the government for today's announcements, it needs to be much more vigorous in meeting its commitments to protecting the health of our oceans by completing a national system of marine conservation areas that protect biodiversity and the ecological and cultural diversity of Canadian marine environments from sea to sea to sea.
Gwaii Haanas is to be a multiple-use conservation area that will have both zones of protection and sustainable use. The process that follows designation and the co-management model which underpins it provide an opportunity to work with stakeholders to design a conservation area that meets both the needs of local people and conserves and protects ecosystems for future generations. It will be important to provide for sufficient protection zones, uses which conform to conservation objectives and ensure that this development be adequately supported and resourced by the government in the future.
In short, this reserve and heritage site is a beacon to inspire more and better oceans management. It is an opportunity to develop a conservation model that will surely inform many more marine protected areas to come. At the same time, we are hopeful that it will inform our negotiating position, yet to be revealed to Canadians at the ongoing negotiations of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Canada National Marine Conservation Areas
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise, on behalf of the Bloc Québécois, to speak about the Gwaii Haanas national marine conservation area reserve and Haida heritage site. The Bloc Québécois believes that preserving national heritage sites is vital. It means that humans humbly recognize the majesty of nature and also its fragility.
The world is a place of beauty but we have the lamentable capacity to destroy it, as evidenced by global warming and the constant threat that we pose to thousands of ecosystems throughout the world. The Gulf of Mexico disaster is a bitter example of this. To protect the world's beauty, we must take the necessary measures to preserve conservation sites such as the Haida Gwaii Haanas reserve.
The Bloc Québécois will support the order to protect this area, which also has value added as a heritage site.
However, you heard, as did I, the Minister of the Environment use his statement to praise the oil companies which, he says,"have voluntarily relinquished their petroleum rights in this special place." The Minister of the Environment! What a laugh! The oil companies, the nice corporate citizens, are agreeing to leave the Haida territory and the Conservatives, moved and grateful, are jumping on the opportunity to praise one of the most polluting industries in Canada in a statement on an aboriginal marine area that must be preserved. How about that.
If the Conservative government was again attempting to hide its true nature with this announcement, it has failed. This government uses every possible forum to announce the creation of a park or new protected area in an attempt to hide its stone age mentality when it comes to sustainable development and its catastrophic record on environmental protection.
Quebec's environmental values are diametrically opposed to those of the Conservatives. In Quebec, the environment is a priority. That was evident last week in a poll confirming that, according to Quebeckers, the priority for the G8 and G20 meetings to be held in a few days is, without question, the environment. The government has categorically rejected this idea. It believes the priority must be the economy, period.
That is not surprising. For this Conservative government, with its blind faith in market forces, anything that does not have a dollar sign attached to it is of no interest, anything that does not smack of deregulation, globalization, free this or free that, is just socialist propaganda. It is as though the environment and the economy were irreconcilable. This Conservative government and the environment, that is what is irreconcilable.
And since Quebec and the environment are very compatible, it is not surprising that this government always makes decisions that are not in the interest of Quebec and the environment.

Nathan Cullen Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is my sincere pleasure today to rise and support enthusiastically the creation of Gwaii Haanas National Marine Conservation Area and Haida Heritage Site. We seek to expedite this work with all members of Parliament.
It is important for Canadians to understand the place we are speaking of because this truly is one of Canada's most remarkable gems. Five thousand square kilometres will be protected from the alpine tundra through to the temperate rainforest and into the depths of the ocean, 1,500 square kilometres of rainforest and 3,500 square kilometres of Pacific waters. Nearly 3,500 marine species are found within this archipelago and 600 coastal archeological sites identified by UNESCO's World Heritage Site SGang Gwaay.
In 2005 National Geographic named Gwaii Haanas first among 28 national parks across North America based on its incredible remote wilderness and in collaboration with the Haida.
I extend a personal invitation to all members in the House, including the minister, and all Canadians to come and spend some time in this most remarkable place. It is rare to have all parties join together in this place to do something that will benefit all Canadians, something that is good and lasting.
Canadians must also pay tribute to the courage and dedication of the Haida and the people of Haida Gwaii, who have led this process from the beginning. Special recognition must also go to the Council of Haida Nations and to its president, Guujaaw, who has embodied Haida pride and a traditional and unique sense of Haida herocity throughout.
We also must recognize the early and visionary work of the former MP for Skeena, Jim Fulton, who to his dying days believed in a Canada that would include first nations and environmental values in all of the decisions that we make.
We want to congratulate the federal government and the oil industry in their recognition that there are some places in this world that we simply must protect and not allow coastal drilling.
In 2006 Canada committed to protecting a minimum of 10% of our coastal waters. While we have made a good step today, there are many steps yet to take along this path. We have an expression in the north that "it is the land that makes the people". Today we have taken a further step toward protecting that land and protecting its people.

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the second report of the Standing Committee on Finance regarding Bill C-290, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (tax credit for loss of retirement income).
The committee has studied the bill and has decided to report the bill back to the House without amendments.
Employment Insurance Act
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Fin Donnelly New Westminster—Coquitlam, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-526, An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act (special benefits).
Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce legislation that would amend the Employment Insurance Act to extend the maximum period for which special benefits for illness, injury or quarantine may be paid from 15 weeks to 52 weeks.
The inspiration for the bill came from Natalie Thomas, a cancer survivor from Coquitlam, whose story touched me and made me realize how important and necessary changes to the Employment Insurance Act were. Another cancer survivor, Marie-Hélène Dubé from Montreal, who is on the Hill today, has gathered over 200,000 signatures for a petition that calls for these changes.
Both of these amazing women had one thing in common. They had to focus on how they were going to find the funds needed to survive once their 15 weeks of medical EI ran out. This made it extremely difficult to focus on what they should have been focused on, recovery. That is why I am introducing this bill today.

Canada Pension Plan
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-527, An Act to amend the Canada Pension Plan (pension and benefits).
Mr. Speaker, I am thrilled to be introducing a bill that would finally put a legal end to the potential for people who have been convicted of spousal homicide to derive a CPP survivor benefit from their heinous crimes.
I had assumed that the long-established principle in law that no one should be able to benefit from a crime would also be enshrined in the eligibility criteria for government benefit programs. Imagine my surprise when I received the following correspondence, which states, "I have a relative who killed his wife, served very little time for manslaughter, and is (and has been) collecting CPP survivor benefits for over 10 years. Since 1-2 women per week die at the hands of their partners, how many more men are collecting this? How is this legal?"
I researched the file to verify that this could really happen and I learned that there was no legal prohibition that prevented people who had been convicted of spousal homicide from collecting either the death benefit or the survivor pension. Clearly, that loophole must be closed.
My bill would do precisely that. It would amend the Canada pension plan to prohibit the payment of the survivor's pension, orphan's benefit or death benefit to a survivor or orphan of a deceased contributor if the survivor or orphan had been convicted of the murder or manslaughter of the deceased contributor.
The integrity of the Canada pension plan is enormously important to Canadians. I know I am not alone when I say that the very thought that someone convicted of spousal homicide could derive a monetary benefit from such a heinous crime is an issue of fundamental justice. I trust all members of the House will feel the same way and I look forward to the speedy passage of my bill.

We have a room beside our kitchen that we've recently painted and are in the process of furnishing and decorating. I'm planning to drink tea there in the evenings, while either reading or spending some time on the computer (we're putting the computer there).
So far we have a computer desk in there...and that's it. We're planning to add a comfortable reading chair, or two, and I'm interested in adding some furniture that will make drinking tea, and reading, enjoyable. Items such as: an end table beside the reading chair with space for my tea cup and other items depending on the "session", a foot stool/automan, a light that is out of the way (i.e., not taking up space on the end table...that's where the tea is!) yet useful for reading, etc.
I thought it would be interesting to hear, and see if you can share photos, on if you have a space where you usually drink tea, and maybe read. I would love ideas on those items we've yet to purchase and what I should consider (e.g., type of end table, lighting, ipod stereo, etc.).

Even though personal computers forever changed the video game industry back in the early nineties, they are not the leading platforms for games anymore, according to John Carmack, a legendary game designer whose Doom and Wolfenstein revolutionized the industry. Game consoles are much more popular devices used for video gaming and therefore id Software's latest Rage title was tailored for Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3.
"We do not see the PC as the leading platform for games. That statement will enrage some people, but it is hard to characterize it otherwise; both console [Rage] versions will have larger audiences than the PC version," said John Carmack, the lead programmer at id Software, in an interview with IndustryGamers web-site.
The recently released highly-anticipated Rage video game has major issues with quality on personal computers. id Software said that the problems were conditioned by driver issues of ATI Catalyst and Nvidia ForceWare and would be resolved shortly. The main reason for the issues is that the latest title by id was designed with PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles in mind, whereas the PC version is essentially a port with high-quality graphics.
A scene from id Software's Rage video-game
Although modern game consoles are based on the custom ATI Radeon or Nvidia GeForce graphics processors, they use different application programming interfaces and are generally different from typical PCs. As a result, in case programmers use low-level architectural peculiarities of PS3 or X360, they have to redesign their engines for personal computers.
According to Mr. Carmack, since game consoles are more popular among gamers than PCs, it makes sense to develop video games for them and then to personal computers while adding graphics features.
"You can choose to design a game around the specs of a high-end PC and make console versions that fail to hit the design point, or design around the specs of the consoles and have a high-end PC provide incremental quality improvements. We chose the latter. A high end PC is nearly 10 times as powerful as a console, and we could unquestionably provide a better experience if we chose that as our design point and we were able to expend the same amount of resources on it. Nowadays most of the quality of a game comes from the development effort put into it, not the technology it runs on. A game built with a tenth the resources on a platform 10 times as powerful would be an inferior product in almost all cases," added Mr. Carmack.
id Software and John Carmack are not the first game designers who choose to develop video games for game consoles and then port them to PC platform. The trend started in the middle of the previous decade as result of dropping sales of video games for PCs. For a long time Mr. Carmack defended the PC gaming since the platform was much more flexible and feature-rich compared to consoles, which allowed him to perform unique things. However, with the arrival of the current-generation of consoles he changed his opinion.

How Internet Radio Should Handle the Music Industry
Picture old, fat white guys wearing gold bracelets and over-sized wristwatches puffing cigars. These are the people single-handedly destroying -- or at least slowing down -- trajectories to sanity and progress as the consumption of music moves almost wholly to a digital access model. But it goes beyond consumption -- merely listening to music -- they're working overtime to kibosh a holistic approach to promoting every aspect of the process. From "record" sales to touring to branding and beyond.
There's a fundamental problem that doesn't get talked about much. The leaders of Internet radio companies -- and I'm not just talking about Pandora
They launch and run startups in the spirit of Apple
Oil and water. However, "little" startups actually operate within companies such as Ford (and, I think, GM), particularly around the issue of in-car entertainment. These guys are not afraid to let Apple or Google or Microsoft
The same even applies to old guard media. There's no question the big boys -- Time Warner
That's not the case with the music and radio guys. They have always kicked and screamed towards change, resisting every step of the way. They're, at best, adverse, though more often openly hostile to tech. That should bewilder you, given the fact that technology drives practically all of the success the music industrial complex -- and, ironically, the radio business -- has had over the last decade.

I haven't done it with a stone, but have done it with steel. It works, but I agree it isn't for the faint of heart. A better method is to use a cast iron pan. Preheat the pan hot on the stove top and get the broiler cranking in your oven. Open the dough and put it in the pan. Quickly top the pie on the stove top in the pan and then use a couple pot holders to pull it off the stove top and put it under the broiler. I've cooked some decent 2 minutes pies this way in the past.
How does one determine/know if they have the type of stone that will blow up if you apply direct flame to it?
instead of tongues and mitten useTongue and Groove Plier, Jaw Straight, Maximum Jaw Opening 2 1/4 Inches, Length 12 Incheshttp://www.grainger.com/Grainger/CHANNELLOCK-Tongue-and-Groove-Plier-4CR41?Pid=search
Has anyone tried putting their pizza stone on the stove burners and then using tongs and oven mitts to put it in the oven to preheat and get a higher temperature before it thermostat kicks in? I'm thinking about doing this, but I don't have an IR thermometer right now so I can't collect any data. Also, I'm a little worried about the safety risk so I don't want to jump into it just yet.
Bert: I think it would be awkward to pick up a decent size stone with channel lock pliers (hard on the wrists), and probably not all that stable. To be honest, I wouldn't do this. Too much risk for me for not enough reward, for all the reasons already mentioned.Barry
Are these safe enough....
You have to special order that thing... I guess nothing is safe enough for this case...
I made a small pizza today doing this on my cast iron 10 inch pan. I used too much flour though trying to make sure the pizza didn't stick to the peel and the bottom of the crust burned from the excess flour. I really wish there were an easier way to move pizza.
Have you tried just making the pizza right in the pan? If your cast iron pan is seasoned it should come right out.
How did you possibly use a peel to launch a pie over the rim of a pan? When I've used this method that is why I open the dough then put it right into the pan with my bare hands and top it in the pan. Then the pan and pizza go under the broiler.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Poor organisation at the start, too narrow at the finishIn full: I was looking forward to this to get a new PB - which I did so was pleased. However at the start they were saying on the tannoy to get into the right timing slow but the bands for this were too small, and it was very hard to get through the barriers to start. It needed a good 100m for each 5 minute time band. If these were then printed on the numbers and checked it would have improved the situation. I started at sub55 (finished in 52:30) and was overtaking people for at least 4km. The water station at 5km would have been better if on both sides of the road so it would have been less congested, the briefing notes said there would be nectar energy gels as well but I didn't see any. At the end after the sliproad the course narrowed to 1 lane with traffic in the left hand lane. When I came through (just under 1h from the gun) it was very busy with lots of jostling for position and no space for a sprint finish. A good course that has maybe got a bit too popular and they have allowed too many applicants. Date of review: November 21, 2012
In short: Lots of tight turns in the first few k'sIn full: Often described as a hilly race I was expecting a much steeper course, thankfully the hills were long and gradual rather than short and steep. The first 2-3 km and the last km round the city centre had lots of fairly tight corners which made the congestion feel worse. But did give spectators plenty of space to watch which was nice. Enjoyed the race if a little busy. Date of review: July 15, 2012
In short: Varied, steep and enjoyableIn full: I now understand why it is called the 'Pudsey 10k challenge' not the 'Pudsey 10k run' and it is just that, a hilly challenge, the downhills are mostly too steep and uneven to get up much speed so this doesn't compensate for my slowness up the hills!It was nice getting off the roads in the sunshine for some of the run. A very friendly event where you have enough space for pretty much all the route and can start running from within a few yards of the start line.My 3 year old also did the family fun run which made it a nice family day out.

Power Authority Hydropower to Create 36 Jobs At Two Precision Machining Companies In Western New York
December 14, 2004
ALBANY—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) Board of Trustees Tuesday approved low-cost hydropower allocations to two Western New York manufacturers of precision-machined components in return for commitments to create a total of 36 new jobs.
Curtis Screw Co. of Buffalo and PCB Now-Tech of Lackawanna will receive allocations from the Power Authority's Niagara Power Project in support of plans to expand their manufacturing capacity and work forces.
"The allocations to Curtis Screw and PCB Now-Tech are a direct result of a collaborative effort led by Governor George E. Pataki for maximizing the potential of this great hydroelectric project to create jobs on the Niagara Frontier," said Louis P. Ciminelli, NYPA chairman. "The allocations to these two manufacturers show this effort, involving businesses, utilities and economic development organizations, is working."
Ciminelli noted that the allocations will come from a block of 445,000 kilowatts (kw) of Niagara power, called replacement power, that is reserved for manufacturers within a 30-mile radius of the project. (It combines with a second block of Niagara power, known as expansion power, for a total of more than 43,000 jobs at more than 100 Western New York companies receiving allocations.)
Curtis Screw, which manufactures components and assemblies for the automotive industry, will receive 1,450 kilowatts (kw) in return for adding 16 more jobs to its current work force of 260.
The company, which also has facilities in Connecticut and North Carolina, was founded in Buffalo in 1905. It's planning to acquire at least 11 new machines and ancillary equipment, at a cost of $3.5 million, to facilitate its production of power steering racks for the Ford 150 (full-sized truck) and Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs.
The availability of the replacement power was a key factor in Curtis Screw's decision to manufacture the racks in Buffalo instead of North Carolina.
PCB Now-Tech is slated for 200 kw of hydropower, for adding 20 jobs to its existing Lackawanna work force of 60. New equipment will increase the facility's capacity for manufacture of machined components for the medical, aerospace and defense industries.
The Western New York Advisory Group, consisting of the Power Authority, Niagara Mohawk, Empire State Development Corp. and the Buffalo Niagara Enterprise, recommended the allocations for Curtis Screw and PCB Now-Tech. Late last year, the members of the group signed a Memorandum of Understanding for allocations of available Niagara power on a continuous basis to maximize the economic development benefits of the Niagara Project.
Since the agreement, the Power Authority has made allocations from the project to a total of 23 Western New York companies, including the latest two.
The 2,400,000-kw Niagara Project, which first produced power in 1961, is the biggest electricity producer in New York State. It provides some of the lowest cost power available, along with a second NYPA hydroelectric facility, the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Project.

Crew Excited For Today's Exhibition
The Columbus Dispatch - February 05, 2014 11:16 AM
As I wrote in today's paper, Gregg Berhalter would rather not have today's scrimmage against Malmo FF on his preseason schedule. Despite that, this will be his first time roaming the sideline as the Crew's coach and sporting director.
And although it's essentially a meaningless preseason game, that still generates excitement for Berhalter.
"Any time you're playing a game, it's exciting," he told me. "No games are really meaningless, right? You can take something from every game. That's the reason why we're actually doing it, because we'll learn something from this exercise. I'm excited and I'm excited for the staff to work together and to go out and compete against another team."
The game will kick off at 3:30 p.m. and be streamed live on MLSsoccer.com.
The plan is for 22 Crew players to see game action. Each team of 11 will play for 45 minutes, and Berhalter said there will be no first or second team. Offseason addition Michael Parkhurst will play, but fellow new player Waylon Francis posted on Twitter last night that he will not play due to a minor injury.
The game will be Berhalter's first chance to see how some of the lessons the staff has been preaching during the preseason are coming across. Most of the preseason focus so far has been on offense, he said.
Midfielder Daniel Paladini described how Berhalter wants the Crew to play.
"Plain and simple: we want to keep the ball," he said. "That's always really nice to hear, especially for a player like me who has been around a little bit and see ways different teams play. Some teams get away with playing long balls like when San Jose, with (Chris) Wondolowski and (Steven) Lenhart who are like the bash brothers or whatever you want to call them. With us, we want to get the ball and play. If we have the ball then the other team can't score."
Berhalter said he does not want to see much of a gap between players because few starting positions are locked up.
"It's really early in camp and guys have been fighting hard," he said. "To be honest, we don't want that clear-cut gap. We want there to be spots open. The result of the game isn't that important; I think the effort is important. We want to see guys competing because that's what you need to win and be successful."
Paladini said Berhalter has assembled a staff different from those he has played for to this point.
"Gregg and his staff are one of the best staffs I've seen in my career," he said. "I think they'r e really professional. All of them are World Cup veterans. They've all played in MLS, so they know what it's like to e in our shoes. Sometimes you get coaches who have never played in MLS or at a high level and it's just really nice to know that you've got a leader like that that's played in our shoes, and that goes down to trainings. He can see when we're tired and need maybe a little bit and he knows when to push us. I think right now they've got us going all-out and at this point it's where we want to be.
"Now it's just learning each other and how we play and how Gregg and his staff want us to play. I think we're on the right direction and that has to do with the coaching staff."

U.S. Women Dealt Loss by Brazil
Bill Kauffman
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 28, 2010) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team lost to Brazil 25-20, 25-12, 25-22 on Tuesday evening at Londrina, Brazil. The match is part of a 10-day, four friendly exhibition tour of Brazil.
Brazil is currently ranked No. 1 by the FIVB in the world ranking, while the U.S. moved up two spots to No. 2 after claiming the 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix last month. During the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round, Team USA edged Brazil in a hard-fought five-set match as it went on to win the gold medal without dropping a match.
Team USA's four-match tour of Brazil concludes on Sept. 29 at Londrina with a 7 p.m. match start time. Both teams are using the friendly scrimmages as a chance to evaluate and fine tune their lineups for the upcoming FIVB World Championship, which takes place Oct. 29 to Nov. 14 in Japan.
Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) paced the Americans with nine points in the loss with four kills and match-high five blocks. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) added seven points, all on kills. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) and Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) were credited with six points apiece. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) contributed four U.S. points in the match. Ogonna Nnamani (Bloomington, Ill.) came off the bench to score two points while Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) tallied one point.
Hodge totaled 13 of the team's 36 digs as the hosts out-dug the Americans 59-36. Stacy Sykora chipped in another 11 digs in the loss.
"Brazil played very well tonight - especially on defense," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "There's no question it's disappointing to lose, but we are learning a lot and gaining valuable experience here. There are very few countries in the world where you can play such a strong team in a large, packed, and extremely loud gymnasium."
Brazil converted 42 percent of its attacks into points while Team USA converted just 23 percent of its attacks into points. The U.S. held a slim 9-7 block advantage, but Brazil had a 3-1 edge in aces.
U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) started Glass at setter, Hooker at opposite, Hodge and Larson at outside hitter and Akinradewo and Bown at middle blocker. Sykora was the libero for match. Nnamani started the third set in place of Hooker. Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.) was a sub in the second set, while Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) was a reserve off the bench in the third set.
Brazil was paced by Sheilla's 17 points while Natalia added 14 points in the victory.
The U.S. and Brazil have been benefited from recent friendly scrimmages against one another. In making final preparations for the 2008 FIVB World Grand Prix and 2008 Olympic Games, Brazil played three friendly exhibition matches against the U.S. in Colorado Springs in June 2008, winning two of the three contests.

If you will have interest in some particular piece -I mean techniques, history or inspiration- please do not be afraid to ask.
Petr Novák wrote:Hi Rebecca,
Ok, I am going to explain my situation in this, because it is not you who have "trouble navigating and understanding the website" but It is our old, not clearly arranged website.
Although we are full time potters we are usually not able to have many of our works in stock. So if somebody would like to purchase piece from me or my partner Mirka, the best way how to do it is make a copy of the link from our website and describe what do you like on the pot( how big it sould be, material, glaze and so on...). For example: "I like this tea pot" http://artkeramika.cz/keramikstudio/gal ... _konev.JPG
And then I will send you pictures if I have something like that in stock or I will do my best to create such a pot exclusively for you for a next firing. I also cooperate with some eshops and many tearooms but I think that putting links to them here is behind the line of this forum.
The tea boats I put here are Mirkas works and they are still available.
We did horse hair firing but only like a part of our public workshops and personal creations.
Please, if I am still not clear do not be worry to ask again.

Yeah, I didn't even notice the salt missing. pizzanyc, I'm getting the sense that you are a trying to find a short cut here. Don't get the sense that we are rejecting all your attempts... it's the flour, water, salt and yeast that are the problem here, not us... They are just not so forgiving.I know that my site is TOO detailed for some and can be a little intimidating. But you don't have do to 100% of it to get the benefits. If you read through is slowly, you should be able to glean a lot out of it. For now, forget the part about the sourdough culture, the high temp oven and the sauce, etc.. Just focus primarily on the autolyze and wet kneading technique along with the basic formula of bread flour, water 62%, salt 2% and yeast (a tiny amount, like 1/8 teaspoon). If you autolyze and wet knead properly, you will see instantly that this dough has a different feel, spreads like butter and tastes better than these shortcut recipes do. Jeff
LOL... you are a difficult case.... I know that you don't know the terms, but I define them... Thanks for the nice words about my site. Have patience. You can't learn this all in one shot.Forget the sourdough for now. The only difference with caputo is that you are going to put more flour in than I said. If you put in number i gave you, it will still be wet. It's ok, just keep adding flour until it dries out, just add a little at a time near the end. The strechability of the dough is affected 90% by the use of autolyse and making the dough very wet. All other factors combined, like putting it in the fridge, the temp of the water when you start, etc. these add up to the other 10%. So don't worrry about it. Just get the mixing right. That's the most important thing.Jeff
(to save me the time of weighing all these ingredients on the scale, can you tell me how much the grams would be in cups and tablespoons or teaspoons for the salt and yeast? )
pizzanyc,I have been playing around with the new Lehmann dough calculating tool at http://www.pizzamaking.com/dough_calculator.html and decided to plug in the numbers for the dough formulation you plan to use. I calculated all of the bakers percents for the formulation and assumed that you would be making 3 dough balls, each of which would be for a 13 pizza, as specified by Jeff at his website. From the individual dough ball weight and pizza size, I calculated a thickness factor of 0.0846. What I got for results using the tool is the following:Flour (100%): 579.93 g | 20.46 oz | 1.28 lbsWater (62.1%): 360.14 g | 12.7 oz | 0.79 lbsOil (0%): 0 g | 0 oz | 0 lbs | 0 tsp | 0 tbspSalt (2.41%): 13.98 g | 0.49 oz | 0.03 lbs | 2.91 tsp | 0.97 tbspCY (0.172%): 1 g | 0.04 oz | 0 lbs | Sugar (0%): 0 g | 0 oz | 0 lbs | 0 tsp | 0 tbspTotal (164.682%): 955.04 g | 33.69 oz | 2.11 lbs | TF = 0.0846Single Ball: 318.35 g | 11.23 oz | 0.7 lbsYou will note that there is no volume measurement given for the cake yeast (fresh yeast). That is because there is no good way to do such a conversion. However, the way that is often used is to relate an amount of fresh yeast to one of those little cubes of fresh yeast (usually Fleishchmanns) that is sold in the supermarkets and weighs 0.6 oz. (17 g.). On that basis, 0.04 ounces of fresh yeast is about 7/100ths of one of those 0.6 ounce cakes. I have also read that one ounce of cake yeast is equal to 1 1/2 tablespoons, or 4.5 teaspoons. I dont know if that number is any good, but on that basis, 0.04 ounces of cake yeast comes to about 1/5 teaspoon. If you would like to change your numbers in any way, such as number of pizzas and/or the sizes of pizzas, you can do that using the tool and it will give you the amounts of ingredients to use. I know that Jeff says not to be enslaved by bakers percents and the like, but until you get your sea legs on what you are trying to do, the tool may help you out. For further information on the tool, you can go to this thread: http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3477.new.html#top. Peter
pizzanyc,Can you explain the steps you followed from the time you put the dough into the refrigerator to where you started to shape it? And what the dough looked like along the way?Peter
is waiting 1 - 4 days really necessary with caputo flour? and will a caputo pizza bake well at 600 degrees with a pizza stone?
There is still hope ...Let's assume you followed the recipe and mixing procedure that Peter and Jeff discussed (if you did not, start over)First, NO ROLLING PIN ! Especially for Neapolitan Style pizzaSecond, try placing each newly mixed dough ball in its own round plastic food container. (Glad, Rubbermaid, Tupperware, etc). No container, use a wide bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Put in fridge. After rising in fridge, allow closed container to sit on counter for 1-2 hours until dough is about room temperature.Third, remove dough from container carefully while retaining its shape!. DON"T RESHAPE, COMBINE WITH ANOTHER BALL, or distort in any way. Round container ---> rough dough ready for pizza. There is no need to reshape, this will cause the dough to tighten up and make it difficult to stretch. That is why you you had to resort to a rolling pin. Don't do this again.4 days is not completely necessary, but you really need to try at least 2 days with that small amount of yeast. The result will be more flavor. It is best to get one complete process correct before changing much. This way you know what good dough looks, feels and tastes like. This is why Jeff suggested bread flour for your pizza. It tends to be more forgiving than Caputo. I think you should really try using King Arthur Bread flour(KABF) for your next pizza. If you are purchasing your Caputo from Pennmac, your are really wasting your money at this point. Hone your skills with less expensive ingredients until your get the process correct. After finding Jeff's site and pizzamaking.com I spent 5 months using only KABF. I have just recently changed to Caputo "00" flour.A Caputo pizza will cook at 600 F, but it will take 6-8 minutes. A KABF based pizza tends to brown more readily than a Caputo pizza and it is easier to tell when it is done from a casual glance.TM

For the second year in a row, the US Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) and the nonprofit organization IREX have chosen Claremont Graduate University (CGU) to host 21 high school teachers from around the world for the Teaching Excellence and Achievement (TEA) Program.
TEA is a professional development program co-sponsored by ECA and IREX that places participating teachers, called fellows, at select host universities to enhance their teaching skills, develop expertise in their subject areas, and learn more about the USA.
As part of TEA, the fellows will be paired with American teachers at Claremont, Pomona, Chaffey and Upland School Districts in order to promote global understanding exchange.
In addition to collaboratively teaching in local middle and high schools, the fellows will participate in professional development classes at CGU to develop subject specific strategies, teaching methodologies, curriculum development, and the use of technology for education.
Professor DeLacy Ganley of CGU's Teacher Education Program leads the university's TEA Program. According to Ganley, TEA is in line with the goal of CGU's Teacher Education Program to prepare globally aware and culturally relevant educators.
"We're in the business of preparing quality teachers," Ganley said. "Quality teachers have a global perspective and are able to have productive, strong relationships with people regardless of where they're from."
When the fellows aren't engaged in professional development, they will have free time to explore the area and enjoy cultural and social activities with each other and their "friendship families," members of the community who have volunteered to share their lives with the fellows in the name of promoting global understanding and friendship.
The 21 fellows come from 16 countries: Argentina, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Colombia, Ecuador, Haiti, India, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Panama, Romania, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. All are experienced English teachers.
The fellows will stay for six weeks. They arrived on September 21 and will depart on November 5.
