President Obama Nominates Rick Metsger to NCUA Board
President Barack Obama said he will nominate former Oregon state Senator Rick Metsger to the NCUA Board.
Before filling the position, Metsger must first be confirmed by the Senate.
According to the White House release late Wednesday, Metsger is currently president of the Salem, Ore.-based Parakletos Strategic Public Affairs LLC, a position he has held since 2010.
He also served in the Oregon State Senate from 1999 to 2011, and as Senate President Pro Tempore from 2009 to 2011. Metsger also served on the Oregon State Treasury Debt Policy Advisory Commission from 2001 to 2011. He worked in broadcast news prior to his political and public relations careers.
From 1993 to 2001, Metsger served as a volunteer board member for Portland Teachers CU, which has since been renamed OnPoint Community CU and has $3.3 billion in assets.
He has a history of supporting credit union legislation, having sponsored bills in Oregon that would allow the state's credit unions to accept public funds and raise a $100,000 member business loan cap on state-chartered credit unions.
The Credit Union Association of Oregon named Metsger its "Legislator of the Decade" at its 2009 annual meeting.
The White House announcement did not specify which term Metsger would fill. If Obama intends for Metsger to replace former Board Member Gigi Hyland, who left the NCUA last Oct. 5 after serving more than a year past her term's expiration, Metsger's term would be just four years.
NCUA Board members must serve a staggered six-year term, a restriction that dictates the shorter term to replace Hyland. NCUA Board Member Michael Fryzel's term ends Aug. 2. Fryzel is a Republican.
Carla Decker, president/CEO of the $46 million District of Columbia Employees FCU, withdrew her nomination to the NCUA board in February 2012, after former board member James Talbert leaked the credit union's CAMEL score. Talbert was banned from federally insured credit unions by the NCUA in March 2012 for the disclosure. Decker, also a Democrat, had been nominated to fill Hyland's seat.
"We congratulate former Oregon State Sen. Rick Metsger on his nomination to the NCUA Board. In recent years, the board has had to deal with very difficult issues. The board will need to continue to tackle those issues and more in the coming years." Fred Becker, NAFCU president/CEO said.
"Upon confirmation, we look forward to working with him and the NCUA Board and staff on behalf of our members to promote a positive regulatory environment for credit unions," Becker said.
Current board members Fryzel and Debbie Matz also issued statements Thursday supporting the nomination.
"Rick will bring valuable perspectives to the NCUA Board, having served as a volunteer credit union board member as well as a state legislator. I look forward to welcoming Rick as soon as he is seated on the NCUA Board," said Matz, the current board chair.
"I extend my sincerest congratulations to Senator Metsger on his nomination by President Obama to the National Credit Union Administration Board," said Fryzel. "It is an honor and privilege to serve and I wish him every success in his confirmation process."

So...that means I expect Joel and others in the So Cal area to go out on some rides with me and show me the terrain there while I'm in the area for the summer.

I know I don't feel sorry for them being 2-27.
When they had Jason Kidd,Richard Jefferson, K-mart and were making NBA finals appearances they were the big shots of the tri-state area while the Knicks were 2nd rate to them.Now they're the worst team in the NBA and the laughing stock of professional sports behind the Detroit Lions and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What a difference a couple of seasons make.It's not like the Knicks are that much better than they are but it kind of feels good to know that the Knicks have finally moved ahead of them.Hopefully the Knicks can compete with the Yankees for main headlines once they become a playoff team again.
I heard that the Nets were one step closer to their Brooklyn arena project.I really hope that they don't move to New York City and I hope that they stay in New Jersey for the rest of their existence.NY doesn't need another NBA team and they definitely don't need to build a new arena for the Nets
As for the Nets being 2-27, they definitely will land themselves John Wall if they continue in the pace that they're in right now.I guess that is why it seems like they're losing these games on purpose.With the young talent that they have they're a much better team than what their record shows people.Bruce Ratner must be salivating at the idea of the Nets drafting a top College player and rebuilding his organization out of today's college elite.Even if Lebron James doesn't sign with the Nets in the off season you cannot be in complete despair if you're a Nets fan.
Every New York Knick fan that grew up loving the Knicks and hating the Nets should continue being apathetic towards the Nets and their struggles.I personally would love to watch New Jersey go 2-80 the rest of the season.Even though I happen to admire Brook Lopez,Devin Harris, Yi Jianlian, and the Net announcers I cannot feel sorry for a team that wants to give the Knicks competition in their own city.

All tickets are $7 and can be purchased by phone at 718-951-4500 (Tues-Sat, 1pm-6pm), or online at www.BrooklynCenterOnline.org. Recommended for ages eight to eighty.
Few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as Antoine De Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince. Full of whimsy and wonderment, this new stage version of the classic tale incorporates puppetry, multimedia projections, and original music as it follows one brave little boy's journey through the universe, exploring the mysteries of grownups and the stars and searching for what is most important in life.
The Little Prince at BCBC features puppets designed by Emmy Award winner Michael Schupbach of Jim Henson's Muppet Workshop, and built by Monkey Boys Productions (Avenue Q, Little Shop of Horrors). Written by Rick Cummins and John Scoullar, this stage adaptation was originally produced Off-Broadway in 1993 at the John Houseman Theatre Complex starring Tony Award winner Daisy Eagan. The production is directed by Bristol Riverside Theatre's Founding Director, Susan D. Atkinson.
The centerpiece of BCBC's 2012-2013 family programming, the new Target Storybook Series features performances based on classic and contemporary children's literature. In addition to The Little Prince, the series concludes Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 2pm with American Family Theater's Sleeping Beauty. The Target Storybook Series aims to encourage the development of strong reading skills at home in children ages four to eight. Each show's Parents' Guide, containing literacy-based activity sheets, reading tips, and discussion topics, gives parents the opportunity to engage their children both before and after seeing each show. Parents' Guides are available for download at www.BrooklynCenterOnline.org/Target_Storybook.asp. All seats for BCBC's 2012-2013 Target Storybook Series are $7.
Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts' 2012-2013 Target Storybook Series is sponsored by Target.
In addition to the Target Storybook Series, BCBC will present other family-friendly shows including Bash the Trash's Tales of Anansi on Saturday, April 13, 2013 at 2pm, and a sing-along screening of the Julie Andrews classic film The Sound of Music on Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 8pm. Tickets to other family programs range from free to $30, with a 50% discount available to children 12 and under for select performances.

Does anyone have info on the Spanish holidays and culture? I have a Spanish OC and I want to know what holidays she should celebrate and what customs she should follow.
Does anyone have info on the Spanish holidays and culture? I have a Spanish OC and I want to know what holidays she should celebrate and what customs she should follow.
Well, if she was Spanish coming from Spain, (which seems more likely if they are interacting with canon character than from Mexico) then here's a list I found on the internet about Spain's national holidays.
Jan 1st: Año Nuevo (New Year's Day)
Jan 6th: Dia de los tres Reyes (12th night, when Christmas presents are given)
Mar 19th: San Jose (Father's Day)
Variable: Viernes Santo (Good Friday)
Variable: Dia de Pascua (Easter Sunday)
May 1st: Dia del Trabajo (Labour Day)
June 24th: San Juan (St.John's Day)
Variable (mid June): Corpus Christi
June 29th: San Pedro y San Pablo (St.Peter & St.Paul)
July 25th: Santiago (St.James, patron saint of Spain)
Aug 15th: Asuncion (Assumption)
Oct 12th: Dia de la Hispanidad (Columbus Day)
Nov 1st: Todos los Santos (All Saints Day)
Dec 6th: Dia de la Constitucion (Constitution Day)
Dec 8th: Immaculada Concepcion (Immaculate Conception)
Dec 25th: Navidad (Christmas Day)
The site
I'm not sure what the individual holidays are about though.
Hope that helps!
Thank you so much for the information! I will incorperate it into my story right away!
Also there is a saints day (im not sure the name i will get back to you on that...sorry)-most spanish natives are named after saints of there middle name is named after a saint- i know that its big in a lot of spanish countries. Also there fifteenth birthday (Quinceañera) party is HUGE its sometimes bigger then a wedding!!! Also they are really big on Holy week some countries even remake jesus's curcifixtion. Spain is big with religious holidays most of them are roman catholic.
I don't seriously know the holidays off hand but I thought you may want to know that there are different variations on the spanish customs and traditions. There is Spain and Latin America. Both of them have similarities and differances. What you need to figure out first is which one you need to know about. Then get in depth with it.
Hey there!
Well, about the Holidays, Spanish people have them, but they don't celebrate them all.
See, I used to live with a Spanish friend of mine and he didn't celebrate all the Saints' days. You only celebrate the one that has your middle name, or name (i.e. My name is Pedro de Alvarado, therefore, I celeprate St. Pedro's day -St. Peter's)
But that's not a rule, since Father's day is celebrated by everyone.
About the 15 birthday parties, I believe they're Mexican, not Spanish.
Well, hope that helped.
Good luck!
Well, It actually depends on how religious you feel.
The quinceañera parties are a Mexican tradition, not an Spanish one (believe me, I'm Spanish and I know what I'm talking about)
There are also the days of the regions, which depend on the region (Comunidad autónoma or Authonomic Comunity) where you live. For example, I live in Madrid, and the day of my region, is the second of May, beacuse it celebrates the 2nd May 1808, when the revolt of the people of Madrid against Napoleon's forces took place (there are even two paints by Goya on the subject)
The Saints Day (Día de Todos los Santos) is the 1st of November. It's pretty much our Halloween, when we go and visit our loved ones that have passed away. It even has sweets that are typical of that day, the buñuelos(usually filled with chocolate, cream, and all those things), and the saint's bones (marzipan bombons filled with an egg mix)
Another thing about holidays is it depends on where in Spain the character lives. For villages/towns with patron saints or named for saints they celebrate that saint's day. Also, there are usually certain holidays depending on the region. Like the two week in July where there's running of the bulls and other celebrations in Pamplona.
Natalie had given the complete list of the holidays, and there's also the quinceanera by xpadfoot...
But you mustn't worry about observances, modern Spanish people are no longer that devoted to religious holidays. It's Mexicans who are. The only thing that stands out about their culture is a certain hauteur over other Europeans. They are a notch above the French for being snubs. (This isn't a blanket statement, okay, but just a majority observation )They don't take easily to foreigners, specially if your character would come from the upper middle class/ high society. They'd rather you learn their language or culture, than vice-versa.
They do seem to keep their devotion to the Virgin Mary though, and they always make the Sign of the Cross when startled, happy, or sorrowful.
~good luck,
joanna (is quite knowledgable in things Spanish, as she has inherited much from the colonization)
Everyone here has been talking about the Spain traditions and Mexican, and I'm not even sure from where the character is... You only said you needed Spanish culture help, but is the character from Spain, or just from a Spanish-talking place, because there are many more countries besides Spain and Mexico... Although I do find it more likely your character being a Spaniard(from Spain, just in case )
Just wondering that... Answer me when able, and maybe then I can really help!

YEARS of practice and a dash of good timing have helped a talented young Ipswich woman land a dream job at the spiritual home of the can-can.
Barely 18 years old, Ripley dancer Simone Covele has never experienced life away from her parents and eight siblings, but now faces the prospect of spending the next year working and living in Paris as part of the iconic Moulin Rouge stage show.
Ms Covele won the rare opportunity after joining family friends on a trip to France earlier this year and taking part in an interview.
The show's producers had a follow-up audition with the young dancer when they travelled to Australia in July and Ms Covele was subsequently offered a 12-month contract.
"They want me to go for a year, but it might go longer," Ms Covele said.
"I am probably most worried about the language barrier - and I will miss my family too."
Being part of such a large family hasn't stopped this lifelong performer from standing out.
Starting at the age of 18 months, Ms Covele has tried her hand at everything from jazz dancing to tap and even musicals.
The Westside Christian College graduate was part of Ipswich group Star Struck up to the age of 13, when she moved to a theatre and dance group in Brisbane.
"People would say that I should go for Moulin Rouge and I always thought that I would try it one day," she said.
Famous Brisbane cabaret dancer Shay Stafford was one of those who eventually convinced the Ipswich girl to have a real crack at it.
She will leave for Paris in next month, spending a month in rehearsals before beginning a busy schedule of two shows a night, six days a week.
While nervous about seeing his daughter jet off to a strange country, Malcolm Covele believes she is up to the challenge.
"She certainly has the personality for it," Mr Covele said.
"I think she will be fine."
Legendary Show
- Moulin Rouge, French for "Red Mill", was built in Paris 1889 - the same year as the Eiffel Tower
- It was the inspiration for the Baz Luhrmann film, of the same name, in 2001
- Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Liza Minelli and Ray Charles have performed there

Get offa my lawn!
Ever wonder what it feels like to jump off your buddy's roof and spear a knee into him? Curious as to exactly how much damage barbed wire on a baseball bat can really do? Want to find the answers to these mysteries without seeing the back of a squad car? Then the wide, wide world of Backyard Wrestling is for you…unless you've already been there and done that, in which case you deserve the squad car, and probably the nightstick, too. Ditto for your buddy.
The same curiosity that spurs society to have The Bearded Lady stand abreast with a Beefalo seems to be the driving force behind the sub-moronic 'sport' of beating people up in your backyard. Unlike the circus freakshow, though, Backyard Wrestling 2 is neither unique nor endearing and runs about as deep as a spittoon.
There are a whopping two modes. In Exhibition mode, there are about twenty-five wrestlers available, including such talents as Vampiro, Violent J, Zandig, Sick Nick Mondo, Ruckus, scantily-clad pornstars Sunrise Adams and Tera Patrick, and naturally, Tylene Buck. There are no alternate costumes for any of the fighters, so we can't see how far Eidos would go to compete with Rumble Roses. You can also import your own created superstar if you have no idea who these people are.
Most of your time will be spent in the boring Career Mode, which tosses you into a barebones Edit-A-Wrestler in which you can make 'Obese Kilt Guy' or 'String N' Mesh Girl'. You can't stray from these types very much due to a regrettably modest collection of accessories. You can replace your wrestler's moves with those of other characters, but due to a relative lack of moves in general, it's nothing that hasn't been done better before.
Armed with your very own income-deprived lunatic, you undertake "do this move twice" or "survive this many fighters" missions and challenges in one of ten areas, which range from a mini-golf course to the good ol' trailer park. Alternately, you can just choose to fight one random fighter after another to earn cash for a couple more unlockable accessories or Backyard Wrestling movies, none of which feature the two porn chicks or any other of Backyard Wrestling 2 's female psuedo-celebs, so don't get too psyched. In a rare act of self-restraint, Eidos wanted to be certain it ducked the scarlet letters "AO" by going violently prudish here. God bless them.
The fighting in general is a departure from most wrestling games in that it is faster-paced and less complex. Button-mash combos and a ton of environmental objects that break up to leave useable fragments separates Backyard Wrestling games from others in the genre, but besides the ability to block and "Enviro-Mental" throw, nothing has changed in Backyard Wrestling 2 from the first.
In other words, the gameplay is still full of holes. When you're not mashing buttons to just beat up the other guy, you can try grappling. You can execute one of three moves; if your opponent tries to same move, he'll gain the grapple advantage. After about two rounds, you'll realize you're playing a blood-soaked version of rock, paper, scissors.
The mash combo damage and grapple damage are balanced evenly, though every wrestler's Special Move does the most damage by far. The one penalty for using a Special Move is that it uses up your whole Turbo Meter. Running strikes, a universal grapple reversal (ie. "grenade," in rock, paper, scissors), and guard-breaks all use up Turbo in an attempt to prevent matches from being Special Move-a-thons. Unfortunately, the meter builds up too quickly and the damage is too disproportionate not to use Specials every chance you get.
Weapons are scattered everywhere and can be used as projectiles, melee strikes, or in grapples. Using these whenever possible is usually a winning strategy, though they quickly get boring and you'll force yourself to use other techniques just for variation's sake. Those "Enviro-Mental" throws can be used in particular locations of a stage and are fun from time to time to enjoy a little extra brutality, like being slammed with a car trunk's door or drowned underwater. But like most of Backyard Wrestling 2, the novelty wears off quickly.
Backyard Wrestling 2 loses another eye in its terrible collision detection. Fighters occasionally jump through space and time during grapple moves, and though this doesn't kill the game, it's really, really bad when both characters are going through the move's animation ten feet away from each other. Then they'll jump back to being close again. In a further display of their mystical prowess, fighters can go through walls. The collision detection issues become especially irritating when dealing with projectiles, since they'll clearly appear to miss you, and yet you get smacked. Running strikes are done in all of three frames and the speed of running and jumping off platforms looks odd in comparison to the smoother framerate of walking. Both the PS2 and Xbox versions run on the same poor, shoddy engine and look equally rough.
The game's soundtrack features a whopping 57 hardcore, punk, and metal tracks from the likes of Mudvayne, Hoobastank, Insane Clown Posse, and Andrew WK. Hope you're angry. If you're not, you will be after listening to the game's insanity-inducing sound effects. Every blow of a mash combo blurts out a simply horrific voice effect of "Unhhh!" or "Ahhh!" to the point where you're actually groaning along with it. Ultimately, if a man is fighting a woman, they sound like they are engaging in unwanted intercourse. It's creepy.
So is the fact that this sequel even made it to store shelves. Fans of Backyard Wrestling may want to try this game out, but then again, they might have more fun with a blowtorch and video camera. Lord knows I would.

Wojciechowski rounds out Day 1 picks
Right-handed pitcher from The Citadel is fourth pitcher Jays take
By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com
That will never stop Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos from adding more.
"You can never have enough," Anthopoulos said recently.
On Monday, the Blue Jays used their fourth and final selection on Day 1 of the First-Year Player Draft on right-hander Asher Wojciechowski out of The Citadel. Wojciechowski -- added with the 41st overall pick -- represented the fourth right-handed pitcher taken by Toronto.
Entering the Draft, Anthopoulos and amateur scouting director Andrew Tinnish emphasized that the Blue Jays were going to take the best player available when the club's turn came around. By taking four pitchers, Toronto showed that it stuck to that approach over drafting by position.
"We're not going to be impacted by what positions we have at the big league level," Anthopoulos said. "We're not going to be impacted by what positions we have at the Minor League level. At the end of the day, the best player available is the best player available."
When the 41st pick came up, Toronto felt Wojciechowski was the best player left on the board. The 21-year-old righty was projected to be picked higher in various mock drafts, and was ranked 22nd overall by Baseball America entering Monday's event.
Wojciechowski pitched for the USA College National Team and had a strong showing for The Citadel as the reigning Southern Conference Pitcher of the Year. Over 17 starts, the 6-foot-4, 235-pound right-hander went 12-3, tying a school record for wins in a season, leading Division I with 155 strikeouts in 125 2/3 innings.
Wojciechowski's fastball registers at around 94 mph with slight movement, and he features a slider that typically averages around 83 mph. He will throw an occasional changeup and he is believed to be durable enough to be used as a starter for now, with a possible future as a reliever.
Toronto's selection of Wojciechowski concluded a day that saw the Blue Jays pick Georgia Tech's Deck McGuire (11th overall), as well as high school right-handers Aaron Sanchez (34th) and Noah Syndergaard (38th). If they all sign -- the signing date for all draftees is Aug. 16 -- that adds four more pitching prospects to an already pitching rich system.
As much quality pitching as they have, though, the Jays will not hesitate to try to acquire more.
"With the division we play in," Tinnish said, "and the philosophy of our general manager, we're in a position where we want to try to be aggressive with guys with upside."

ArtsWatch: Got gTLD?
In recent news ...
On Jan. 11 the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers announced the beginning of a three-month window to apply for new generic top-level domain names, ending April 12. These gTLDs are alternatives to .com or .net, such as the recently introduced .xxx. Parties interested in applying must visit the New gTLD page, be able to afford the $185,000 evaluation fee (or qualify for financial aid), and register in the TLD Application System by March 29. Listing the benefits and risks of operating a new gTLD, the organization warns, "When you apply for a new gTLD you are applying to run a registry business. ... The introduction of new gTLDs will affect most organizations. Whether or not you decide to apply for a new gTLD, you should still pay attention to the process." For rightsholders who see another IP protection nightmare brewing, trademark owners can object, after the application window closes, by complying with Module 3 of the Application Guidelines. ICANN President/CEO Rod Beckstrom said, "Why, in the wake of intense criticism, are we moving ahead? Because we believe this program will do what it's designed to do, which is open up the Internet domain name system to further innovation." Reuters reports that .canon, .deloitte and .hitachi are among the well-known trademarks for which applications are expected, and that a company, Top Level Domain Holdings, has already been set up to take advantage of Internet real estate investment opportunities and offer consulting services to potential applicants.
The Department of Justice announced on Jan. 6 that the lead moderator and co-founder of pirate site Ninjavideo.net — known as Queen Phara — was sentenced to 22 months in prison, two years of supervised release, 500 hours of community service, and repayment of nearly $210,000 of personal income she received from the site. Three other site administrators pleaded guilty last year and are awaiting sentencing. NinjaVideo.net was among the domains seized by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of its first Operation In Our Sites enforcement action against rogue websites in June 2010.
On Jan. 4 the EMI music-publishing entity, EMI Entertainment World Inc., sued the corporate parent of online music service Grooveshark for breach of contract and unpaid royalties of at least $150,000 under a 2009 license agreement. This is piled on top of last month's legal headache for Grooveshark when Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group joined the infringement lawsuit filed by Universal Music Group in the Southern District of New York's U.S. District Court. Varied news coverage has lumped these together in multiple ways, especially regarding the label/publisher distinction, but for now this new litigation appears to be limited to a contract dispute brought within New York's state court system.
Cnet News reported on Jan. 6 that EMI Music sued used-MP3 marketplace ReDigi in a New York federal court, challenging the reseller's aggressive business model. When the RIAA sent ReDigi a cease-and-desist letter in November, the trade group said, "There can be no doubt that ReDigi's conduct constitutes willful copyright infringement." On the other hand, the company designed its software to mimic reselling a unique physical good, and even supervises deletion of the user's copy off the seller's hard drive as the service takes possession of the digital file. Even if lower courts considered this an empty pretense, the company likely has plenty of interesting arguments that could keep appeals going as long as ReDigi can afford the litigation price tag.
After years of efforts to stop rogue website the Pirate Bay from remaining accessible to casual Web surfers, antipiracy organizations in Finland and Sweden continue to gain ground in court but ironically, at the time of this writing three of the organizations' own websites are inaccessible due to denial-of-service attacks. In Finland, thanks to the work of antipiracy organization CIAPC and IFPI Finland, Internet service provider Elisa began blocking the Pirate Bay on Jan. 9 in response to a court order, which the ISP is appealing. Court rulings regarding Finnish ISPs DNA and TeliaSonera are also expected shortly. In Sweden, Brein achieved a legal victory on Jan. 11 as the Hague District Court ordered ISPs XS4ALL and Ziggo to block the Pirate Bay. The ruling gave the ISPs 10 days to comply, after which daily fines amounting to $12,750 will apply, and its ruling said, "The court considered it proven that 30 percent of the subscribers of Ziggo and 4.5 percent of the subscribers of XS4ALL have recently traded files via the Pirate Bay."
On Jan. 9 BBC 5 live Investigates reported that Google promptly removed advertisements linking to illegal products when notified by the broadcast news team. The investigative report was instigated by a UK Web user who purchased illegally resold Olympic Games tickets online in response to one such ad. "It was a sponsored ad at the top of the page, so we presumed it was a trusted official site," she said. A take-down request from London's Metropolitan Police had been pending with Google for more than a week when the BBC notified it. Calling attention to Google's practice of keeping ad revenues gained under such circumstances, the MPAA commented in a blog post, "This is all just a reminder that many of the opponents of SOPA and PROTECT IP, while they like to portray themselves as brave Internet freedom-fighters, are in reality doing little more than protecting their own business interests. They profit from illegal activities, and they will vigorously resist legislation that seeks to put this practice to an end."

Griffey always played the right way
By /
The announcement of his retirement Wednesday, at age 40, is an acknowledgment that he can no longer play the game at anything resembling his previous, lofty standards. But for those of us who saw him play in his prime, the memory of "Junior" will have no retirement.
It is unfortunate that Griffey did not have more left in his tank for his second tenure in Seattle. His first time around with the Mariners was glorious and more. But nothing at this point will detract from what is clearly a Hall of Fame career.
Junior calls it a careerComplete coverage
The Ken Griffey Jr. of the 1990s was one of the true greats of the game, in that era or any other. A five-tool player? That didn't really cover the necessary territory with him. He had a skill for every occasion. His power numbers were breathtaking, but he was just as good in the defensive half of the game. He won 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards while playing in center field, covering the entire decade of the '90s. He defined defensive ability during his peak years.
He was a perennial All-Star, a dominant player during that decade. The only argument regarding Griffey's greatness at that time would come in a one-on-one argument. Which player was the greatest in the game, Junior or Barry Bonds?
And the way that history will settle that argument will also be in Griffey's favor, even though the numbers in the new century obviously favor Bonds. But Bonds changed body types. He appeared to become, from a pharmaceutical standpoint, someone else, someone obviously bigger and stronger, but someone else.
Griffey, on the other hand, remained mortal. He remained the same physically, until in recent years he put on a few pounds, as human beings occasionally will with added age. And as he moved into his 30s, and moved back to his baseball boyhood home in Cincinnati, he became increasingly injury-prone.
In nine seasons with the Reds, he played more than 140 games only twice, and never more than 145. Over the three-year period from 2002-04, he played a total of only 206 games. Hamstrings, ankles, knees, shoulders, feet; all were injured during his stay in Cincinnati.
It was unfortunate that a career so brilliant could be so repeatedly sidetracked. But it was also a tribute to the fact that Griffey played straight. The performance-enhancing drugs that led to speedy recoveries elsewhere, not to mention wildly inflated home run totals, were never part of his story.
With anything resembling reasonably good health during the Cincinnati years, Junior would have had the career home run record and all of the acclaim that went with it. Instead, he gets a much more subtle kind of award; the broad recognition that he played the game the right way, and not only on the field. Griffey did not become the most prolific home run hitter in baseball's history, but he won the moral battle, playing the game with integrity, without PEDs.
In 2009, Griffey, in his return to Seattle, was an uplifting clubhouse presence for an improving Mariners team. This season, with expectations soaring, he became one more Mariners hitter who couldn't deliver enough to lift the club out of its run-production doldrums. But Griffey is not going to be defined by this small slice of his career, either.
Ken Griffey Jr. was one of the all-time greats and a joy to watch during his prime. Those of us who watched in true admiration and real appreciation would have wished a longer prime for him. The fact that the second half of his career was riddled with injuries proves only that he was human. The fact that his name was never associated for a second with a hint of performance-enhancing substance scandal proves that he was honest.
So, as Ken Griffey Jr., the baseball player, leaves the scene, I think we view him not only with memories of his greatness and respect for his game, but with real gratitude for what he symbolizes.

Rodney feels primed for duty in postseason
By Bill Chastain and Adam Berry / MLB.com
BOSTON -- Closer Fernando Rodney finished out Wednesday night's 4-0 win over Cleveland in the American League Wild Card Game. Though he did not earn a save, he looked good, and he needs to find his 2012 form if the Rays are to stay alive in this year's postseason.
Manager Joe Maddon thinks Rodney has been in a good place over his past handful of appearances.
"He's been pretty darn good, or consistent," Maddon said. "So I'm not concerned. As an example, coming before that night, the game was not a good game, and I called down there to see if he wanted to come in for an inning. He did not. So that tells me his confidence is up."
Rodney saved 37 games in 2013, 11 fewer than in 2012, and his ERA rose from an eye-popping 0.60 in 2012 to 3.38 this season. Part of the difference can be attributed to the fact that the Rays were not able to use him in save situations for prolonged periods this season, which prevented him from establishing a rhythm.
"That makes it harder to do what I do," Rodney said. "Last year I pitched more consistent. This year was different. I don't have control of that."
Nevertheless, he feels primed for duty in the postseason.
"I'm up for that, because that's where I'm at right now," he said.
Young coming through when it counts most
BOSTON -- Delmon Young led off the third inning of Wednesday's Wild Card Game in Cleveland with a home run to give the Rays a one-run lead. It was Young's ninth career postseason homer, all coming since 2011 -- tops in the Major Leagues over that span.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, five of those nine home runs have been go-ahead shots, two more than anybody during that span. To put that in perspective, in the regular season since 2011, Young has only six go-ahead homers, and 116 players have more homers overall.
According to Baseball-Reference.com, only 10 players in postseason history have hit more go-ahead homers than Young.
"I think he's done a really good job, just seeing him from afar before, people think he's aggressive, but he does a good job staying in his hitting zones," hitting coach Derek Shelton said. "And he has a really good idea of how at-bats work and how counts work. He's a young guy, but he's a veteran guy. I've been really impressed how he controls at-bats."
Shelton added that the Rays were lucky to pick him up in August.
"Especially because this is a guy who is proven in the postseason," he said. "This is a guy who was the MVP of the ALCS last year. So any time you can pick up a proven guy who has played in games like this, it's huge.
"We've been left-handed dominant a little bit. So any time we can get more right-handed or a right-handed power bat, it makes it better."
Smaller bullpen won't be an issue for Rays
BOSTON -- Despite the Rays having a smaller bullpen now that the roster has been reduced for the postseason, Alex Cobb doesn't necessarily think the starters will have a longer leash.
"I still think [manager] Joe [Maddon is] going to go on matchups," Cobb said on Friday before Game 1 of the American League Division Series. "We're not going to have as long of a leash as we did maybe in June, July, August, where we get 110 to 120 sometimes. The reason being, we have a lot of off-days in these series. So I don't think it's as crucial to extend your starter as much as you need to in the past, during regular-season games.
"These are still must-win games. Joe's going to calculate every matchup to the best of his ability. So I don't think that short leash is out the window just because we don't have as big of a bullpen. We had an off-day yesterday, and we'll have another one coming up in a couple of days. I think that the bullpen will be well rested, and Joe will be able to go to them as much as he needs to. And we have some guys who can eat up some innings in the bullpen with [Chris Archer] and [Alex] Torres."
Because the mentality is all about winning, Cobb noted, it's a lot easier to check an ego at the door.
"We need to win," he said. "When you're being competitive on the mound, the last person you want to see is Joe coming out, just because you're in a fighting mode. You're going to fight until you can't lift your arm, you can't take it any longer. But when you settle down and know the situation that's going on, you understand it, and you appreciate it, because we're here to win. And pride goes out the window, and selfishness goes out the window.
"We're here to win. [The manager and coaches] are a lot smarter than any player out there. We do our jobs to the best of our ability, they're going to do their jobs to the best of their abilities, and you understand that at the end of the day."
Hellickson on tap to start Game 4, if necessary
BOSTON -- Jeremy Hellickson knew that he wasn't necessarily guaranteed a chance to pitch in the postseason, not after a frustratingly inconsistent season that ended with his posting a 5.17 ERA.
But he found his name on Tampa Bay's American League Division Series roster, and if this series against Boston goes beyond three games, he'll find himself on the mound starting Game 4.
"I am very happy. It's a little fortunate. I haven't really given them a good reason to send me back out there these last few months," Hellickson said. "It's really nice that they still have confidence in me to go out there. Hopefully, it doesn't even go to a Game 4, but if it does, I'm glad I'm going to be that guy."
Considering how poorly this year has gone for him, Hellickson is excited about the chance for a "new beginning."
"The last few years, I felt confident every time I went out there," he said. "That's not saying I haven't these last couple of months, but it kind of gets to you a little bit when you're going out there every five days and coming out before the fifth.
"I'm confident. I know what I can do out there, what I'm capable of doing. It's just a matter of going out there and doing it. I'm feeling really good. Bullpen [session] went really good. Body's feeling great. So I've just got to go out there and put it together."
Manager Joe Maddon said the Game 4 assignment could change if Hellickson has to work in relief before then, but for now, Hellickson is set to start on Tuesday. Maddon picked Hellickson over Chris Archer because of "little esoteric stuff" regarding the way Hellickson matches up with Boston's lineup. Hellickson has made three solid starts against the Red Sox this year, going 1-0 with a 3.44 ERA and 20 strikeouts over 18 1/3 innings.
Archer, meanwhile, could be used in long or short relief against the Red Sox.
"I still think [Archer] has some meaningful innings, whether it's [as] a starter or reliever, the rest of the postseason," Maddon said.
Worth noting
• Maddon didn't put much thought into starting Matt Joyce on Friday despite Joyce's .364/.417/.909 batting line against Red Sox starter Jon Lester.
"With Delmon [Young] here [at designated hitter], that kind of changes the thought process there," Maddon said. "Without Delmon it would have been a different thought process."
• Right fielder Wil Myers became just the fifth rookie in the 2000s to lead a postseason team in hitting after the All-Star break, as he and Ben Zobrist tied for the team lead with a .294 average. The only other rookies to do so over the last 14 years were Yoenis Cespedes (2012), Albert Pujols (2001), Ichiro Suzuki (2001) and Carlos Guillen (2000).
• The Rays entered Friday with a better postseason record on the road (7-6) than at home (5-8).

Researchers successfully teleport quantum bits
Post a comment
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States and the University of Innsbruck, Austria have demonstrated the transfer of information between two locations without any intervening physical medium.
The separate efforts mark the first teleportation of material states, a concept long postulated and one that could open new avenues for unbreakable encryption technology " information would never be eavesdropped upon because it is not actually being transmitted.
"We and another group at the University of Innsbruck are the first to demonstrate teleportation of quantum states from one location to another," said NIST physicist David Wineland. "Both groups have followed Bennett's original algorithm very closely, and we both successfully teleported qubits." Wineland was referring to a 1993 finding by IBM fellow Charles Bennett and five colleagues that because matter was based on quantum-mechanical waves, "beam me up, Scotty" teleportation was possible in principle. The caveat: The original of the item being teleported would be destroyed in the process.
According to Bennett, teleportation sidesteps the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which maintains that measuring destroys matter's quantum-mechanical information, thereby making it impossible to accurately reproduce it.
Bennett maintained that by virtue of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen effect, it was possible to destroy the original while passing its measurements (energy level, motion, spin state, phase, superpositions, magnetic field and other physical properties that would otherwise be lost to Heisenberg's principle) to a third party that could teleport them to the terminus point. There the data could be used to construct the original anew " thereby achieving teleportation without replication.
Between 1997 and 2002, several groups demonstrated the technique for teleporting quantum-mechanical information " called qubits " using light polarization. However, the NIST and Innsbruck efforts are the first time the states of a qubit have been teleported from one physical atom to another. The groups did not teleport the physical matter itself, but only the quantum-mechanical description. "We think that quantum computers in the future will have to use teleportation, so we wanted to demonstrate the proof of principle so that we and others could start trying to build quantum gates and processors," said Wineland.
Entangled atoms
The approach used by both groups was to begin with a pair of "entangled" atoms " that is, two atoms ("A" and "B") whose quantum states are linked by the manipulations of a laser beam (for up to 4 milliseconds, they were inextricably linked by an invisible force Einstein called "spooky action at a distance").
Then they transferred the qubit information from atom A to point "C" " a beryllium ion for the NIST team, a calcium ion for the Austrian group " by performing a mathematical operation called a Bell-state measurement that destroys A's quantum-mechanical state (by accurately measuring it).
The results of the Bell-state measurement are then sent to the terminus point of the teleportation, where they interact with the entangled atom B to construct the original quantum state of A.
"We never know just what the qubits contain, only that their information was destroyed in the original but preserved during teleportation to the entangled ion," said Wineland.
If perfected, the technique could enable uncrackable encryption codes. Only someone in possession of the second entangled ion can decode the information. Both teams reported success rates of 75 percent to 78 percent during the teleportation process.
NIST achieved its goal by creating ion traps out of gold electrodes deposited on alumina. By shuttling ions among up to six traps, made from eight electrodes, NIST was able to repeatedly demonstrate successful teleportation of quantum states.
NIST's work was funded by the Advanced Research and Development Activity and the National Security Agency.

Self-Help or Support Groups
Self-help and support groups can be very helpful for some people. These groups usually consist of people with similar problems who meet to give support, practical advice, and encouragement to the people who participate in the group.
Self-help and support groups are different from counseling sessions. These groups may last for only a few sessions or they may be ongoing.
Self-help and support groups:
- Are run by members of the group. Group members help each other solve problems.
- Meet regularly, usually once a week. Some groups may meet only as needed.
- Can be attended by both the person who has the condition and his or her family and friends. Membership may vary. Talk with someone in the group before attending for the first time.
- Usually work best if all members participate. It is not important to talk in the group, especially if it is your first time. Listening (and offering silent encouragement by smiling and paying attention) is also a way of taking part.
Joining a self-help or support group does not take the place of counseling. Some people who attend these groups also need to participate in regular counseling sessions with a health professional.
Self-help or support groups are not for everyone. Some people feel uncomfortable talking in a group. Attend a group meeting at least three times before you choose not to go back. Then you can make a better decision about whether taking part in a self-help or support group is good for you.

Blood Orange Margaritas.This probably comes as no surprise…
But I just can't help myself.
And you shouldn't be able to either.
Blood Orange Margaritas
makes a single serving
1 1/2 ounces tequila (silver or gold, based on your preference)
1 ounce grand mariner
1 1/2 ounces simple syrup
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 1/2 ounces blood orange juice (about 1-2 oranges)
salt for the rim, lime/orange wedges for garnish
Rim the ridge of your glass with a lime wedge and dip in margarita salt. I actually combined the salt with some blood orange sugar, but that's up to you. Fill the glass with ice. In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, grand marnier, simple syrup, blood orange and lime juice with ice, and shake for about 30 seconds. Pour over ice and squeeze in lemon and orange slices.


text: So what, there is no point of reference. The other cubes weren't called "Strategic" or "Class 1" so these words are meaningless when comparing the cubes. Even if we assume, for example, that a higher "class" number means a weaker ship, it's still useless information because the other cubes could just as easily be "Class 15" as "Class 1". This is the line where the "class 4 tactical" was introduced: SEVEN: This is a class 4 tactical vessel, heavily armed. The central plexus is protected by multi-regenerative security grids. We'd be detected long before we could reach it. How can anyone look at this line and claim that it's describing a ship that's weaker than what we're used to?

Championship: Gianfranco Zola delighted after Watford's 4-0 win over Blackburn
Gianfranco Zola was delighted after Watford kept hopes of automatic promotion alive with a 4-0 win over Blackburn.
Last Updated: 22/04/13 4:14pm
Relegation-threatened Rovers had no answer to second-half strikes from Troy Deeney (2), Almen Abdi and Matthew Briggs.
The result confirmed a play-off place for the home side, and Zola said: "I was expecting something like this and delighted that it came today at the right manner and in the right way.
"What can I say, everything went perfect - a lot of goals, good performance, a good quality of football and a big crowd and a Sardinian day out there. It's been an ideal Saturday afternoon."
Zola was keen to single out Fernando Forestieri, who provided three assists, adding: "He didn't score but it doesn't matter. But I know Fernando. Fernando can give a big contribution to his team and today he was superb.
"But there were a few others who were superb today. Troy (Deeney) was fantastic with his finishing and also some performances at the back.
"Cassetti was outstanding, really outstanding and the two wide players, Ikechi (Anya) and Daniel Pudil played well and also (Nathaniel) Chalobah was back to his best.
"So when you have all these performances on the pitch then of course the result is more likely to be on your side.
"It is a crazy Championship, it is unbelievable at the top and at the bottom and I think it is going to be like this until the end. I'm expecting changes in the situation until the end."

Dems nationwide run against Akin
Democrats are running hard against Todd Akin in Missouri — and in Washington state, New York, Arizona and California.
The Republican Senate candidate whose comments about "legitimate rape" caused a stir in August has become Democrats' favorite opponent, even in places where he's not on the ticket.
Story Continued Below
Women's issues were already central to the campaign when Democrats seized on Akin's comments, taking the fight over contraception and abortion onto much more uncomfortable ground for Republicans — rape.
( PHOTOS: 5 controversial Akin comments)
In some races, Akin is featured by name in attack ads.
Former Rep. Dan Maffei is airing an ad in New York that features a photo of his opponent Republican Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle next to Akin.
The ad references a bill Buerkle co-sponsored with Akin that would have banned funds for abortions except for in instances of "forcible rape." The word "forcible" was later removed from the bill.
"For Ann Marie Buerkle, women who were drugged or even minors who were victims of statutory rape would not be classified rape victims," a woman's voice says in the ad. "That's just too extreme."
The ad has struck a nerve with the Buerkle campaign.
"Rape is rape is rape," Buerkle said last week at a press conference, her voice rising, according a report in The Post-Standard. "It is violent. It is violent against any victim of rape."
National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Paul Lindsay said the attack shows desperation.
"You know House Democrats are at the end of their playbook when they decide that a punk former Hill staffer like Dan Maffei knows more about women's issues than a mother of six children like Ann Marie Buerkle," Lindsay said. "This kind of cookie cutter attack from liberal special interest groups is especially head-scratching when you consider the extensive rap sheets of domestic violence from Democratic candidates Bill Foster and Charlie Wilson."
A senior GOP strategist said it's "very difficult to see how the Democrats get any traction because it's just not a serious attack and one that's built on spin and not substance."
While establishment Republicans initially turned on Akin in August, some have come to his aid in recent weeks. Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Sens. Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma held a fundraiser for Akin last week. Former presidential hopefuls Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have endorsed him.
Akin has also cropped up in California, where Democrat Ami Bera is challenging Rep. Dan Lungren, who was forced to back away from the same bill as Buerkle, saying in a recent debate that he "would not support" the measure without the word "forcible" removed.

While I think that Helena is the archetypical Ravenclaw as Tim so nicely put it, there's no reason she couldn't have been placed into Ravenclaw simply because it was her mother's house. The sorting hat was created by the Founders to sort students after they were gone. In my imagination, at least, there would have been a good deal of time when the Founders would decided among themselves which students would be taught by whom.
In regards to the whole Salazar/Godric thing, I have two main points: first off, probably neither. That's the sort of canon fact that is relevent. I really think JKR would have mentioned something. However, it's fun to speculate on shipping between the Founders, and this is fanfiction, so go ahead and pick one of the men, but bear in mind my second point. People are not carbon copies of their parents. Just because Helena acts proud and sneaky doesn't mean she can't be Godric's daughter. I act very little like my own father, and I believe Dumbledore spends a good deal of time reminding Snape of this very idea in regards to Harry, James and Lily.
Then, of course, there's cmwinters' point, which I'm not going to completely repeat. Just remember that the Founders were probably a lot more three-dimensional than your average fic gives them credit for.

Church Foreclosures Plague California Credit Union
In the thick of the economic meltdown that ravaged the housing market a few years ago, churches in some communities were among those that felt the bruises of foreclosures more than other properties.
One of the credit union industry's top business lending programs can be found at the $1.1 billion Evangelical Christian Credit Union in Brea, Calif. Toward the end of 2012, it ranked second in the nation, amassing $833 million in business loans, according to SNL Financial.
However in 2009, Evangelical Christian started grappling with an increase in foreclosures on churches. In a USA Today article, the credit union said it had to foreclose on seven of its 1,100 loans in 2008. At least one Texas church had filed for bankruptcy, owing the cooperative nearly $2.8 million.
Fast forward to 2013 and Evangelical Christian is embroiled in yet another foreclosure case that stretches back to 2008. This time, it involves a proceeding against one of Florida's largest churches.
The Lakeland, Fla.-based Without Walls International Church initially went into foreclosure in 2008, owing Evangelical Christian $13.9 million, which was due in September 2012, Ledger.com reported. In 2009, it approved a mortgage modification for the church.
Evangelical Christian then moved forward with its foreclosure proceedings against the church last October. After filing a request for documents on May 21, a hearing is set to take place in September.
Meanwhile, Without Walls filed a complaint last October against Evangelical Christian seeking more than $23.8 million with claims that the credit union acted inappropriately towards the church's founder, Randy White, by allowing his ex-wife, Paula White, to take more than $2 million worth of video and music equipment from the church to use for her own ministry, according to the Ledger.com. Paula White was apparently hired as senior pastor at a church in Orlando.
Without Walls' complaint also said Evangelical Christian allegedly made false statements about the church in order to thwart a deal initiated by Randy White to sell the property.
According to real estate filings, Without Walls is currently up for sale, with an asking price of $14.75 million, the Ledger.com reported. The property, which has 63 acres and houses the 9,600-seat church, was initially bought in 2005 for $8 million.
A comment from Evangelical Christian was not available.
In a 2009 article titled "Crisis and Faith" featured in a leadership education publication from Duke University, Mark Holbrook, president of Evangelical Christian, offered his take on the growing number of church foreclosures.
"Certainly, this is unprecedented in our history," Holbrook said. "Because of the grace factor, churches tend to put off hard decisions," he added referring to how some churches may see their soured financials as a sign of wavering spiritual faith.
Nationwide, Evangelical Christian continues to deal with churches that have not kept up their mortgage payments. In the spring of 2012, it was reported that the Faith Center in Rockford, Ill., owed the credit union $4.17 million after it borrowed funds to expand back in 2007. The center filed for bankruptcy last January.
As of March, Evangelical Christian had nearly $2.6 million in loan charge-offs, according to its NCUA Call Report. The bulk of the losses came from members business loans excluding agricultural loans. Loans charged off due to bankruptcy totaled $135,707 year to date. However, the total dollar amount of loans originated by members who either filed for either Chapters 7, 11, 12 or 13 year to date came to nearly $5.3 million.
Still, with an 8.11% net worth ratio, the credit union is considered well-capitalized, according to its Call Report. In all, Evangelical Christian had $853 million in business loans as of March.
Like the housing market, churches were not immune to the impact of the Great Recession. A 2008 survey by the National Association of Church Business Administration showed that nearly four in 10 congregations had reported a dip in income, 12% had resorted to layoffs and a growing number of churches declared bankruptcy.

Owned and operated by Carriage House Partners and RLB Holdings, HOST is in the final stages of constructing a 90,000-square-foot transloading building, scheduled to be completed by Oct. 8. HOST also broke ground this month on a second 90,000-square-foot transloading facility to be opened in 2013. Both buildings are designed for the storage of sand.
"HOST soon will be the premier Marcellus Shale distribution center in the Northeast," said NS Vice President Industrial Products David T. Lawson. "The upgrades made to this site will enhance Norfolk Southern's ability to serve Marcellus Shale customers safely and expeditiously, while providing for growth in coming years."
HOST is strategically located about two miles from Interstate 86 and covers more than 200 acres of a former military base. Norfolk Southern has served the terminal since 2009, when the railroad unloaded 104 cars there. During 2010 and 2011, the number of cars increased to 1,800 and 2,600 respectively, while 1,400 cars have been unloaded through the first half 2012.
"HOST is committed to making this facility a 'best in class' leader in servicing the natural gas industry with warehousing, more than two million square feet of storage, and more than five miles of rail at the site," said HOST Managing Partner Ray Bartoszek.

I thought for sure we would get Westbrook or Gordon. I watched like 10 of his games at Indiana. Kid was a bull and a scoring machine. Perfect for MD's system I thought. I was mad we passed on Blair to. Imagine Gordon and Blair.
Then to have Curry almost there, and then pass on Jennings. Lol. And we praise Walsh b/c we got Fields.

Sorry about hijacking your thread. I just get so inspired by other poster's experiments and how they relate to my own!Your latest method sure produced a great looking crust!
John,I was thinking about your recent breakthrough with your prefermented flour batch. As I posted before your pie looked excellent. I wanted to ask you a question though, as why you think the dough ball has to be reballed, with a lower hydration. Do you think you would have got the same texture and taste if the dough ball wasnt reballed? If not, why do you think a reball makes a difference?Norma
NormaAs luck would have it, I happen to have some pictures of my first poolish attempt with this dough...I didn't have time to reball it because I was out of town, but I wanted to taste it so bad I simply took it out, warmed it up and used it. I think the pictures tell you the whole story. While the pizza was delicious, it had huge blisters, and the bottom just looks and feels entirely different from what I would consider a perfect result. I wish I had the knowledge to analyze why this is but I'm sorry...I just don't. Like I've said many times...I am more of an observer of what happens. Also, I have found this dough rises alot in the refrigerator container, and reballing just helps me manage it better. Also remember that my original starting point, many, many pizzas ago was a Reinhart recipe where reballing was a matter of process in his method.John
As I said above, I tried one dough ball without reballing and then a second with reballing. I would have doubted there would be much difference if I hadn't seen and tasted it myself. While the un-reballed dough was tasty and had a good texture, the dough I reballed about 7 hrs. before use was definitely better. It was crispier on the surface, more tender on the inside, had more oven spring, and kept these qualities longer as it cooled (some pies are great when hot out of the oven but get tough too quickly as they cool). It even looked better with amazing "char" for a 550 oven. The only other difference between the reballed and the other was that the reballed had been in the refrigerator for 6 days whereas the other was 4 days.The drawback is that the reballed dough is not as extensible, so it is a small trade-off of texture/taste vs. ease of use. Perhaps if I reballed 24 hrs. before this would be not be an issue.
John,Thanks for keeping the pictures, because then other members and I could see what your results were without a reball. Your pictures of the crust sure do have huge blisters on the rim. I would venture to say there would be different members that would like those huge blisters. It looks like your crumb was still really moist. I am about like you, I like to observe and see what happens. It is interesting to hear that your new poolish Reinhart dough still rises a lot with a lower hydration. I remember that many, many pizzas ago the Reinhart recipe did call for reballing as part of the process.Your poolish Reinhart dough, might lead me to some more experiments. I do really like the benefits of a preferment, but still dont know how that will work out for market. I have also liked the Reinhart doughs a lot, but wanted to get away from a reball. Guess there is no way around the reball. I will have to see if I can figure out a formula that I can try at market again. I doubt I will be able to make your dough work at market, but only time will tell. What kind of flour did you use for your poolish lower hydration Reinhart dough?I have enjoyed all your experiments and getting to see your results. Norma
John,I'd say that is some of the best looking dough I have seen on this forum! It looks crispy on the surface and tender inside, which is what I am striving for.
I am really loving the pizza you made.Simply salivating to look at!Thanks for sharing all that with us!
I'm making dough today, but I used 33% poolish using 100 grams of ready starter. But my amounts are triple what you have posted, cuz I need a lot of doughballs. Now I have no idea if I should add some yeast. Why do I do these things? I just don't seem to be able to stick to the recipes, and I have to cut the poolish into 3rds to get my KA to mix the batches, cuz no way can it handle 8 pounds of dough at once. I forgot this recipe called for IDY, as I have only ADY..then I got it into my head to use starter. I bet it will all be just fine!
John,Interesting that you could use 50% prefermented flour in a dough and the pizza would turn out so great. Did you ever try out 50% prefermented flour in any other formulas before? I can understand the poolish does give a ton of flavor in a short time. Great job on your experiments! Your pizza looks outstanding!Norma
Okay, so I ended up having a few packets of IDY...I split one little package amongst the 3 batches of dough I made, so they got roughly 2.5 grams of yeast each along with the starter. I wanted to mention that I love the texture of this dough! It is ...hmmm, silky. Yeah, silky. I am hoping the dough won't blow out before Sunday, but I will reball on Saturday night and hope for the best. I used Sam's Club Bread Flour, 2% honey, 2% Olive Oil, 2% Kosher Salt, starter, idy and 62% hydration. I have no idea what the percentage of IDY or starter is, but I know how I prepared the dough, which is part of the battle (documentation being everything!).Basically, my 1/3 poolish preferment total was created last night with an amendment taking into consideration 100 grams of my 100% hydrated starter (deducted from the total flour/water amount needed). 50 grams less of each from the preferment guideline as provided by the preferment dough tool. Does that make sense? Well, it did to me! Having never combined starter and IDY, I decided to go for it, since I had seen this method being utilized by many of our fine experimenters. I didn't take time to research the amounts I should have used but, I'll have to take what I get now. LOLI used the mixing guidelines for KA mixer as detailed in post number 1. Silky dough, I am still amazed by how it felt...like I could use it in an hour. Should have tried that! I hope we can tame the heat in my MBE -- it does tend to cool from 700's to 600 and below very easily with a sporadic dome heat of 450 to 650...so I think it's gonna be much easier to use this dough rather than constantly trying to keep heat up for Neapolitan style. I will take plenty of pics, and post on Monday if I can.Thanks again for posting your latest results! The last doughs I made based on your experiments were so so so good, and I look forward to Winter pizzas in the home oven from now on. The texture was truly fine as you describe (crisp, tender and luscious) so I can't wait to taste this new bastahdized batch.
Have a screen ready, in case your stone is too hot for your dough...just monitor the bottom...best of luck!!!John
Congratulations!!! Nice looking pizza, especially the bottom shot....I think the bottoms tell the story. You must have had some very happy People after this feast!John

Wilson proud after All-Star outing
Righty fans one as lone Giants rep due to Lincecum's illness
By Samantha Newman / MLB.com
But growing up on the East Coast, Wilson was certainly familiar with the Yankees. Especially being a Red Sox fan.
"It's pretty surreal," Wilson said. "It's funny because I watched those guys as I grew up playing the game, and now to have the chance to face some of them is really exciting."
Wilson didn't get to pitch against Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez, but he assumed his role during a crucial moment for the National League in its 4-3 loss to the American League.
With his team clinging to a one-run lead, Wilson was tapped to take the mound in the eighth inning to hold on to the advantage. The right-hander retired both batters he faced, recording a flyout against Carlos Quentin and battling through a nine-pitch at-bat to send Carlos Guillen out swinging.
"I thought it was exhilarating," Wilson said. "It didn't matter what inning I pitched, I was going to go out there and try to get three outs or however many outs they needed."
After the second out, Wilson handed the ball to NL manager Clint Hurdle of the Rockies as Mets closer Billy Wagner took over.
"I walked off with my head held high," Wilson said. "It's always awkward; during the season I don't really get taken out in the middle of an inning, but it was a good feeling."
Wilson made the trip to New York with teammate Tim Lincecum, but Wilson represented the Giants alone when he jogged onto the field for the All-Star Game. Lincecum woke up Tuesday morning with flu-like symptoms.
He was taken to New York Presbyterian Hospital and diagnosed with the flu and dehydration. Lincecum was released to rest, but was forced to miss his first All-Star Game.
The National League ran through its entire pitching staff during the 15-inning game, though Lincecum's illness left them one man short. Rockies pitching coach Bob Apodaca said if Lincecum was healthy, he would have thrown the 15th inning instead of Brad Lidge, but that would have been the only change.
"His absence really didn't have a big effect on the game," Apodaca said. "It's just knowing that you have another arm in there and you're not down to your last one. But as far as the outcome, that wasn't the difference."
While Wilson couldn't share the game experience with his fellow San Francisco All-Star, he took in the full experience in New York. He shagged fly balls in the outfield during Monday's batting practice, though he said he didn't have much to worry about since most of the balls were soaring over the wall.
Monday night, Wilson got a front-row seat to witness Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton make history with 28 first-round home runs during the State Farm Home Run Derby. Wilson said watching the performance made him feel more like a fan than Hamilton's All-Star opponent.
"That's one of the most insane displays I've seen in sports," Wilson said. "I don't even know how to describe it. I felt like I paid money to watch that, and it was pretty exciting to watch the ball fly off the bat like that."
And All-Stars from both leagues got the chance to feel like kids again when the largest gathering of Hall of Famers stood on the field prior to Tuesday's game.
But through all the festivities and celebrations, Wilson simply wanted the chance to step onto the mound, and once he was there, he could feel what the All-Star Game was about.
"It's a great experience," he said. "I'm just honored to represent my team and come down here. I got the opportunity to chuck the ball like I wanted to, and I really got to soak it all in."
