October 15, 2012 - (BRONX, NY) - Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University has received a $3 million grant from the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research to establish the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Human Aging Research. The grant will fund research to translate recent laboratory and animal discoveries into therapies to slow human aging.
Aging contributes to many of the debilitating and costly diseases - including cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes - that burden the United States and many other countries. This complex but universal condition causes individual cells and the body as a whole to decline in function. Finding the mechanisms that underlie the aging process may lead to treatments that slow aging, prevent or limit common diseases, and allow people to live healthier, longer lives.
"Unless we find protective mechanisms to delay aging, we will not make progress against age-related diseases," said Nir Barzilai, M.D., co-director of the new center as well as director of the Institute for Aging Research, the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair in Aging Research, and professor of medicine and of genetics at Einstein. "With this valuable grant from the Paul F. Glenn Foundation, we hope to make significant advances toward understanding the aging process and improving human health."
"The generosity of Paul F. Glenn and his foundation is a welcome shot in the arm for aging research in the United States, which is chronically underfunded," said Jan Vijg, Ph.D., co-director of the new center, the Lola and Saul Kramer Chair in Molecular Genetics, and professor and chair of genetics and professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences at Einstein. "This grant will help Einstein to maintain its position as one of the world's leaders in this rapidly growing field."
"Paul F. Glenn has been a visionary in aging research for more than 30 years," said Ana Maria Cuervo, M.D., Ph.D., co-director of the new center, the Robert and Renée Belfer Chair for the Study of Neurodegenerative Diseases, and professor of developmental and molecular biology, of anatomy and structural biology and of medicine at Einstein. "Some of us got to know him when we were still graduate students and he came to scientific conferences to see the data as it was being developed. Paul's personal approach to science has made a big difference to many of us in the field of aging research and has contributed to the career development of many young investigators."
The funding, in the form of pilot and feasibility study grants, is targeted to several specific research projects: uncovering the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that protect humans against aging and age-related diseases, testing the effectiveness of the first-generation pro-longevity therapies, and developing novel preventive and therapeutic interventions against cellular aging in humans.
Drs. Barzilai and Cuervo are also co-directors of Einstein's Institute for Aging Research and, together with Dr. Vijg, of the Nathan Shock Center for the Basic Biology of Aging. Both centers are funded by the National Aging Institute, part of the National Institutes for Health.
Other Einstein researchers in the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Human Aging Research include Jill Crandall, M.D.; Mark Einstein M.D., M.S.; Claudia Gravekamp, Ph.D.; John Greally, M.B.B.Ch., Ph.D.; Meredith Hawkins, M.D.; Fernando Macian, M.D., Ph.D.; and Yousin Suh, Ph.D.
Founded in 1965 by Paul F. Glenn, The Glenn Foundation for Medical Research aims to extend the healthy productive years of life through research on the biological mechanisms of aging.

A Response to Madhavi Sunder's From Goods to a Good Life
Madhavi Sunder's new book, From Goods to a Good Life, offers an interdisciplinary reframing of intellectual property law oriented around the normative view that IP law can be a powerful source for increasing human flourishing. Her title suggests a movement away from a view of IP as an area of law focused on trade in goods, and toward a view of IP as a tool for increasing global social justice for all. Sunder's project, in other words, seeks to reorient IP, in a way I would characterize as moving from things to people. As part of that return to the drawing board, Sunder both recognizes the extent to which law and economics has directed much of the scholarship and policy produced in this area and she advocates for a weakening of its hold. If a word cloud for the prevailing conception of IP included efficiency, utility, and output by the few for consumption by the many, a word cloud for Sunder's normative vision would instead feature justice, human flourishing, and participation by the many for the many.
The defining feature of Sunder's conceptualization of IP may be its breadth. For example, her view is not limited to remix culture or the often irreverent creative practices of those born-digital; she sees IP as having the capacity to influence humankind much more broadly, from health and education to cultural freedom and a host of human capabilities whose articulation draws on the work of Amartya Sen, Martha Nussbaum, and Peggy Radin. In her words: "[I]ntellectual property laws bear considerably on the ability of humankind to flourish, affecting everything from the developing world's access to food, textbooks, and essential medicines, to the ability of citizens everywhere to democratically participate in political and cultural discourse, to the equal opportunity to earn a livelihood from one's intellectual contributions toward making a better world" (22). As a normative matter, then, Sunder situates IP law squarely at the center of "a free and democratic society." Consequently, there is a sense of urgency in the book's assessment of the current law and its many imperfections. Perhaps most central to Sunder's vision is her criticism of current IP policy's failure to prioritize distributive justice, which leads it instead to the mechanistic and reductive view of incentives creation as the stated rationale most crucial to IP.
I am entirely in sympathy with Sunder's assessment of the need to incorporate, together with the economic metanarrative of IP, competing metanarratives whose broader and different implications ought to allow us to prioritize values other than those outlined by the law-and-economics agenda. I share Sunder's vision of the importance of facilitating cultural participation and equalizing gross trade imbalances, such as those that defined an illustrative and, in many ways, very disturbing dispute between Starbucks and Ethiopian coffee farmers (pp. 40-43). Finally, I celebrate Sunder's interdisciplinary approach to the set of complex legal, economic, and cultural problems she describes. To the extent that, in the conversation that emerges over the next couple of days during this online Symposium, I offer questions and critiques, I do so in the spirit of seeking to elaborate on and to refine crucial parts of a shared progressive discourse whose goal is to improve IP law on behalf of a greater good.
I want to close with an overarching question I was left with at the end of the book, a question that circles back to its start. Does it matter whether the status quo of IP is, in fact, as strongly utilitarian and economic as Sunder paints it? It strikes me that the characterization of IP as wholly driven by efficiency (25) is something of a caricature that does more to undermine Sunder's claim than to strengthen it. Yet at a number of points, Sunder reiterates and forcefully rejects the dominance of the economic school of thought, lamenting that it is the only one to have gained traction in the scholarship in recent years. Immediately, I found myself thinking of a counternarrative, in the great wealth of scholarship by–to cherry pick a few examples from different corners of IP law—Funmi Arewa, Margo Bagley, Barton Beebe, Julie Cohen, Christine Haight Farley, Laura Heymann, Sonya Katyal, Roberta Kwall, Rebecca Tushnet, and Fred Yen. Sunder herself ought to be named on the list, and it would also include, among so many others, Rob Merges, who has most recently joined its ranks by producing a book-length apologia of sorts, Justifying Intellectual Property, in which he seeks to correct some of his own earlier entrenchment in the economic take on IP. These scholars have all challenged economic modes of approaching IP or have sidestepped them altogether in favor of other approaches, such as moral rights, law and morality, law and aesthetics, semiotics, literary theory, and so on.
Sunder is familiar with all of their work, and that such work can be characterized as a "counternarrative" surely supports Sunder's claim that the dominant strain is more economic than not. Still, it's not clear to me that the IP academy is quite the one-party nation the book makes it out to be. Further, even if the scholarship were as monofaceted in method as Sunder paints it as being, a great deal of Sunder's book concerns itself with the practical implications of theories of IP. That is, scholarship in theory and law in practice need not mirror one another; indeed, they rarely ever do. Sunder herself admits that the narrow focus on incentives that seems to characterize the law-and-economics school has had less influence on actual case law outcomes than it has had in theory (29). (It scarcely needs stating but we ought perhaps to acknowledge together that the law-and-economics approach is not reducible solely to its incentives story; it has highlighted many other important elements in real-world instantiations of IP, such as transaction costs, free-riding, rent-seeking, signaling functions, and so on.)
It strikes me that among Sunder's many valuable contributions, her most powerful one lies in helping her reader understand how amplifying current intellectual property discourse to include other metanarratives can potentially increase global social justice and serve many more constituents than IP law does now. Even if the economic discourse constitutes only one of many central discourses shaping the regulation of culture, Sunder's work encourages us to move in a direction that broadens beyond law and economics, and does not define itself in opposition to it. Instead, Sunder's view of human capabilities has the potential to diversify the rights and interests and even the very notion of culture that provides the basis for IP law. Our participation in this project might help to shift attention to loftier goals Sunder lays out, such as promoting free and fair cultural exchange; facilitating mutual understanding; nourishing the capacity for creative work even among those who lack the means to pursue such work otherwise; encouraging individual expression; and curating knowledge for the generations that have come before and for the generations that will follow. It is, of course, a lot to ask of a simple copyright symbol, or a not-so-simple trademark registration. But here the effort to reframe IP will provide its own rewards as the discourse shifts over time. Simply striving for such goals in our IP policy has at least the potential to bring us ever closer to Sunder's articulation of "the good life."

Triple-Threat Mascaras, Part I
Welcome to part one of BellaSugar's series on triple-threat mascaras. There are so many different styles of mascaras on the market that sometimes it can be a little bit overwhelming to find the right one! Since I get lots of questions asking me what I think the "best" mascara is, I thought I'd put together a couple of posts that include some of my favorite multi-purpose mascaras. These products curl, volumize and lengthen, so they've got a little something for everyone!
The newest Multi Effect Mascara from Stila ($20) does it all. Seriously? Seriously! The thin brush seems to last quite longer than most before getting clumpy, and it adds volume, length and curl with the whisk of the wand! It is available in black and brown.
For two more triple threat mascaras,
Sephora Triple Action Mascara ($12) is the secret weapon that every woman needs to win her way with the bat of an eye! This mascara makes your lashes nice and long. It also plumps and curls and is so rich in pigment, it can even qualify as a one-coater! It is available in black, brown and royal blue.
Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! ($18) is a great product for those of you who are also looking for a mascara that conditions and adds shine in addition to curling, lengthening and volumizing. Unfortunately, this mascara is available in black only. I guess color is the one area they're still working on, but we forgive you, Tarte!

I have been managing major depression with supplements for many years. The low energy, cognitive fuzziness, and sleep issues have been relatively easy to address, but the mood symptoms are a challenge. I learned about rhodiola a year ago, and have found it to be the most effective treatment for mood symptoms I have ever tried. I experimented with several brands before settling on this one as the most effective. This may be due to the salidroside content - if you read the rhodiola research, you will be startled to notice that most brands of rhodiola do not include the recommended percentage of this important active ingredient, but this one does. I also appreciate that the pills are not individually blister-packed, as with many other brands. The stability of rhodiola rosea is reputed to be poor, yet this brand works where others didn't, so clearly packaging is not the only factor. The capsules do absorb moisture easily, so it is best to leave them in the bottle (with the absorbent pack) until use. If rhodiola hasn't worked for you, you should try this brand before giving up on it. Start with the lower dosage - sensitivities vary dramatically from person to person. The only complaint I have about this company is that there is not a wider selection of dosages (100 mg to 300 mg is big gap) - 75 mg and 200 mg options would be very helpful. A larger bottle would also be nice for those of us who take it regularly, but given its short shelf life, perhaps that isn't an possible.

I started taking Mental Clarity from New Chapter, and it helped sharpness and memory a lot. However, I began to get headachy a lot, so I brought it into my chiropracter, and we did the kinesiology thing, and got a negative reading. So I backed off on that (2-3 times/week) and started with Rhodiola. No ill effects, the headaches went away, and I still am fairly sharp. I still take the Mental Clarity on "big brain days".

Mattingly gives struggling Kemp a break
By Ken Gurnick and Austin Laymance / MLB.com
LOS ANGELES -- For the first time this season, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly filled out a lineup card that didn't include Matt Kemp, as the struggling center fielder started Wednesday night's series finale against the Padres on the bench.
Kemp is off to slow start with a .185 average (10-for-54), no home runs, four RBIs and a .224 on-base percentage.
"I'm just not doing what I need to be doing right now," Kemp said.
Kemp took early batting practice on the field at Dodger Stadium before Wednesday's game.
"I think the ball that's down has been giving him some problems, and the ball that's moving," said Mattingly.
Mattingly thinks Kemp has been pressing to get out of his funk lately, and that's doing more harm than good.
"When things aren't going right, you have a tendency to want to kind of make it happen, and that's some more trouble," Mattingly said before Wednesday's game. "When you're struggling, you want to go get it and make it happen. It's kind of like trying to find that balance is tough at the plate."
How will being out of the lineup help Kemp?
"Sometimes it just helps to sit back and watch a game where you're not having to be out there," said Mattingly, who added that Kemp would be available off the bench.
Said Kemp, "I don't ever want to sit out. I want to play baseball games. But I didn't make the lineup out tonight, Donnie B. did. He told me I needed a night off, and I respect him for that."
That lineup has right fielder Andre Ethier in the No. 3 hole instead of Kemp. Ethier is hitting .261 with one homer and three RBIs.
Skip Schumaker got the start in center field and hit sixth. Schumaker replaced Kemp in center in the top of the seventh inning during Tuesday's 9-2 loss.
The Dodgers have scored 39 runs in their first 14 games, second fewest in the National League. They will look to break out of their collective funk without Kemp, though.
Kershaw is fastest Dodger to 1,000 K's
LOS ANGELES -- Clayton Kershaw will tally many more strikeouts in his Major League career, but he recorded one to remember on Wednesday night against the Padres.
Kershaw struck out San Diego first baseman Yonder Alonso on a 93-mph fastball in the second inning, the 1,000th of his career, hitting the milestone in fewer career innings (970) than the club's previous record holder, Sandy Koufax (990).
Kershaw is the 13th Dodgers pitcher to record at least 1,000 strikeouts, and the second-youngest, at 25 years, 29 days. He was beat to the mark by Fernando Valenzuela, who hit the milestone at 24 years, 303 days.
Kershaw, who entered Wednesday's game tied for third in the National League with 25 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings, has struck out at least 212 in each of the last three seasons.
Capuano's injury tied to fracas in San Diego
LOS ANGELES -- The left calf strain that sent Dodgers pitcher Chris Capuano to the disabled list on Wednesday surfaced before Thursday's game in San Diego and became worse during the benches-clearing incident that sidelined Zack Greinke.
Capuano said the tightness he felt before that game became tighter while he sprinted in from the bullpen during the fracas that was triggered when Greinke hit Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin with a pitch.
Capuano said he thought the injury had responded enough to four days of treatment to allow him to start Tuesday night in Greinke's place, only for the muscle to partially tear when he sprinted off the mound to cover first base in the second inning.
As a result, the Dodgers put Capuano on the 15-day disabled list, recalled Tim Federowicz to be the backup catcher, freeing backup catcher Ramon Hernandez to serve as designated hitter for the Interleague series in Baltimore that opens on Friday.
Capuano will have an MRI exam and receive a platelet-rich plasma injection on Thursday, then join the club on the road. Ted Lilly, who made a third rehab start on Tuesday night, is expected to be activated to start on April 24 in New York.
"During the fight, I definitely felt the calf was sore," said Capuano. "I pitched in that game and didn't feel it, but probably from the adrenaline of pitching. It was sore the next few days, but we treated it and all indications were that it was ready to go."
Capuano said the injury felt better on Wednesday than it did Tuesday night. He said he had a similar strain during Spring Training three years ago.
Federowicz made the Opening Day roster, but was sent down when the Dodgers acquired the veteran Hernandez from Colorado for starting pitcher Aaron Harang. In four games with the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes, Federowicz hit .533 (8-for-15) with two homers and six RBIs.
Hairston drops appeal, sits out Wednesday
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers utility man Jerry Hairston dropped the appeal of his one-game suspension and served it by missing Wednesday night's game against the Padres.
Hairston was suspended for charging toward the San Diego dugout at the conclusion of last Thursday night's brawl that left Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke with a broken collarbone and Carlos Quentin with an eight-game suspension for causing it by charging the mound after being hit by a Greinke pitch.
Hairston later explained he reacted to an unnamed Padres player Hairston felt was chiding the injured Greinke.
Despite losing Hairston for Wednesday night's game, the Dodgers weren't short-handed in position players, because they also recalled catcher Tim Federowicz and placed pitcher Chris Capuano on the disabled list.
The moves left the Dodgers thin in the bullpen for Wednesday night, with relievers having pitched nine of the last 12 innings against the Padres. Manager Don Mattingly said the club was willing to take that chance with ace Clayton Kershaw starting the game.
"We got the right guy on the mound," Mattingly said. "You don't ever know what's going to happen. Because of logistics of off and ons and things like that, we're rolling the dice a little bit today. Counting on Kersh. We still got four guys."
Greinke regrets not telling Ellis of history with Quentin
LOS ANGELES -- With his left arm in a sling on Wednesday afternoon in the Dodgers' clubhouse, starter Zack Greinke said he regrets not telling catcher A.J. Ellis about his history with Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin, information that may have prevented the broken left collarbone Greinke sustained during Thursday's benches-clearing incident in San Diego.
When Greinke hit Quentin with a 3-2 pitch in the sixth inning of a one-run game, Ellis didn't think the outfielder would be inclined to charge the mound. The catcher didn't know it was the third time Greinke had hit Quentin with a pitch in his career, and therefore didn't jump out of his stance to block Quentin's path to the mound.
Ellis said he's feeling guilty for not protecting his starter, who underwent surgery to repair his broken collarbone on Saturday.
Greinke and Quentin first had issues in July 2008, when Greinke first hit Quentin with a pitch. At that time, Greinke pitched for the Royals and Quentin played for the rival White Sox.
"I told A.J. that I should have told him," Greinke said before Wednesday night's game against the Padres. "I knew anyone with the White Sox has always labeled me as someone that does stuff. I didn't think it would happen. Looking back on it, I probably should have warned him, because I know he would feel a lot better about it."
Greinke also regrets lowering his left shoulder to absorb the impact of the charging Quentin, 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds.
"It's just one of those things that you think about how you'd react when the time comes, but when the time came you're not really thinking straight and you're just kind of reacting," Greinke said. "I would never have planned on doing it that way, that's for sure. I definitely wish I didn't. Everything I do, my natural reaction is to avoid my right arm. So at least I was smart enough to do that. Obviously it wasn't the best way to do it."
Greinke is likely to be sidelined until mid-June. He has a metal plate in his collarbone that's stabilizing the fracture, and wears a sling most days.
"It's healing quickly, I feel like," Greinke said. "I'm just doing what I can to get healthy as soon as possible and be as strong as possible when I come back."

Former U.S. Rep. Mike Ross, the only Democratic candidate in the race, said he believes the ruling could undermine funding plans legislators put in place to address a lawsuit brought by the now-defunct Lake View School District. Justices ended that case after 15 years — determining that the Legislature had established ways to fund evenly and adequately.
"I think the Supreme Court got it wrong," Ross said at a meeting of the Arkansas Public Schools Resource Center. He said after the forum that he had met a teacher who moved from prosperous northwest Arkansas to southeast Arkansas and told him there is a vast difference between the regions in quality of school facilities.
Justices ruled in 2012 that state education officials could not lay claim to excess money from two school districts — Eureka Springs and Fountain Lake — after their local tax collections exceeded what was necessary to meet state-set spending totals.
Eureka Springs raised $825,000 more while Fountain Lake took in $1.4 million more under the state's minimum property tax. Voters in 1996 directed all districts to levy no less than 25 mills of property tax for maintenance and operation of schools. Districts are allowed to levy more than 25 mills. A mill produces $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value.
Last month, a legislative committee shot down a bill that would have let the state retain the excess revenue, and GOP candidate Debra Hobbs, a state representative from Rogers, said her vote helped kill the bill that would have nullified the Supreme Court ruling.
Former Republican U.S. Rep. Asa Hutchinson, who unsuccessfully challenged Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe in 2006, said he supports the court's decision.
"I don't think the legislative grab ... is appropriate," Hutchinson said.
Businessman Curtis Coleman, a Republican, said districts should have the right to keep excess revenue.
"I have a fundamental problem with the state capping local property tax ... and giving it back with strings attached," Coleman said.
Coleman said Tuesday that he wants the state to abandon a 350-student minimum threshold for a school district to avoid being consolidated with another district. Legislators established the minimum a decade ago, saying districts with fewer than 350 pupils would be difficult to fund adequately and equitably.
Coleman cited the consolidation of the Weiner school district, which had high-performing schools but not enough students.
"I definitely want (the 350-student minimum) to be amended, if not completely repealed. For instance, when I say amended, I think a population number as a single measure of whether a school is allowed to continue or not is far inadequate and let's at least add a population threshold, financial distress, lack of academic performance," Coleman said after the session.
Hobbs said that districts that want to remain in existence without meeting the 350-student minimum should have to vow to not sue the state and claim they're not being adequately funded.
"The reason for that 350 is to make sure they are fiscally sound," Hobbs said.
Hutchinson didn't weigh in directly on whether 350-student minimum should be abandoned but said he believes there should be a deeper measure to determine the fate of a district.
"I've always said if a school is performing academically and they're financially sound, then the state should support that school in terms of their existence," Hutchinson said.
Ross said the 350-student minimum "has been in place for a number of years. I think it probably makes sense and is probably a good place to be."
But Ross also said schools should be judged on "quality rather than quantity."

Pope County Sheriff Aaron DuVall identified the victims Thursday afternoon as Xing Wu Dong and Tan Jiang.
Dong, 40, was a Russellville resident and Jiang, 26, was believed to be from Searcy.
At 3:18 a.m., the Pope County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) received a call of a possible drowning.
Four men, all related, were in a boat on Lake Dardanelle off Pleasant View Road just before Twin Bridges when their boat overturned, DuVall said.
"Two of the men swam to shore," he said.
The PCSO, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC), Pope County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and Johnson County Dive and Recovery team searched for the two missing men for hours before recovering the bodies shortly before 2 p.m.
At 1:45 p.m., sonar equipment detected an image authorities believed to be a body.
"When they went down to get him, they actually found the other one," DuVall said, adding the bodies were found about 20 feet apart.
DuVall said the incident has been declared a boating accident, and the investigation has been turned over to the AGFC.
Eric Pratt, AGFC investigating officer, said no life jackets were recovered at the scene.
"If all four individuals had been wearing life jackets, we may have had a very different outcome," Pratt said.
Pratt said the AGFC is checking on the boat's capacity and why it may have capsized.
"The boat doesn't have carrying capacity on it, it's an older boat," he explained. "It's a rather small boat. That's something we will be looking at — whether the boat was overloaded."
DuVall said two people from Arkansas Tech University helped translate information at the scene to and from the family.
"It's my understanding, when I first arrived, they [the survivors] said they were out together just having some fun," he said.
Pratt said the investigation is ongoing.

"Chau's Same-Day Dough Challenge" is such a fantastic and diabolical idea!
Thanks Chau. How much IDY? When it the timeframe did you ball the dough?
So Craig, you are on record now stating that you particularly liked the Cane Rosso crust (which is, in comparison to the doughs that proliferate on the forum, a "quick dough")?The only reason I think it is important is that people have it in their minds that the only way to skin the cat is to make a dough that has been cold fermented for days. Clearly, great dough and crust can be arrived at other ways.
Craig, I'm the one way cat skinner that John is referring to. I'm having T-shirts made, possibly even hats
Craig, it sounds to me that, texturally, the crust was on par with the Garage (or possibly better?), but how did the flavor compare to the Garage? I know that this would be comparing IDY to sourdough, but is it possible that Cane could benefit from a little more fermentation derived flavor?
Great write up Craig. Do you know what the fermentation time is on these pies?John
Its different in both flavor and texture. His is tenderer. Mine is more flavorful. Its a first growth (left bank) Bordeaux vs. a cult cab. Which is better? Who cares, right? Im drinking both!
Craig, is pizza crust really analogous to wine? Wine chemistry has an almost infinite number of variables, whereas dough chemistry is pretty straightforward. Dough + time = additional byproducts = additional flavor. Unlike two different wines that can have an incredibly varied number of notes, a young dough has the same compounds as an older one, just less. I have spent literally years trying to create multi-day byproduct quantities in a same day dough- and, so far, I haven't been able to do it. The chemistry prevents it.
If you want to say that, under certain circumstances, a less flavorful crust can be better than a more flavorful one, then that enters into a more subjective area. The fact that every domestic, non-Canne Rosso pizzeria and every member of this forum do longer Neapolitan ferments seems to be clear evidence that the vast majority of people prefer byproducts.
Now, if, on the other hand, you're implying that there's a chance that, as you lengthen the fermentation time (to a day or two), you sacrifice texture, that's a discussion I'm more open to. I would like to test this more, but from the results that I've seen in my own doughs and in others, I pretty firmly believe that any texture you can achieve in a same day, you can achieve in an overnight. In other words, it's possible for you to have Jay's texture with your flavor- and, in my strong opinion, an organization like the VPN should be teaching/advocating that.
I haven't really talked about it in my reviews of these places, but I think NYC's Neapolitan crusts have a ways to go texturally. I only made the connection recently when discussing naan in the cauliflower thread, but I've had 800 deg. 60 second naan that was so puffy and light, it was like eating clouds. Texturally it was a transcendental experience. I never, in a million years, thought that bread could taste like that. If Dino has managed to capture this extreme puffiness, I salute him. Roberto, Mathieu and Giulio could definitely learn a thing or two from him on the texture side.
As far as flavor goes, though, that cat is only getting skin one way. Can I mark you down for a hat?
