PLATTBURGH — Olivia Gillett has chosen to breastfeed both her young children, and that decision drew special attention recently.
Gillett, who is from Sciota, was one of about 40 moms to participate in the Plattsburgh area's second-annual Big Latch On, hosted by CVPH Medical Center to promote breastfeeding as a natural activity in society.
Gillett received accolades for having breastfed her daughter, Nimueh Perron, for the longest duration of all participating moms.
"She's been breastfeeding for 35 months, almost three years," said a spirited Gillett after completing the event with Nimueh.
The Big Latch On is held across the globe on Aug. 2 or Aug 3 to promote a healthy start for babies and to demonstrate community-wide support for nursing moms and infants, who sometimes still face the stigma of breastfeeding in public.
Moms and babies sat on the front lawn of CVPH, and at precisely 10:30 a.m., began breastfeeding for at least one minute.
Although that minute symbolizes support for breastfeeding moms everywhere, moms are invited to continue breastfeeding if their children are not finished after the allotted time.
"It's just a great way to show support for breastfeeding," Gillett said. "It's something we should all accept (as a normal part of the day).
"My mother breastfed us, and the more I learned about it (while pregnant and attending parenting classes), I knew that I wanted to breastfeed with my first child (Augustus, 5), and I knew I would continue with her (Nimueh)."
Augustus actually stopped nursing when he was about 15 months old, but when Gillett was pumping milk for Nimueh, Augustus decided to try again, their mom said.
"It's really a good thing," she said of a young child's interest in breastfeeding. "Mom's milk is so much healthier for them. It provides a healthy start in life."

Lynchburg, VA - School's starting up, and that means a lot of reading. But there's one book Liberty Counsel really wants your child to pick up.
It's called the Patriot's Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools. Liberty Counsel mailed one to every public school in the country for the new school year. That's 99,750 copies.
The author says it teaches students their rights to pray, form Bible clubs, and express their religion in a public school. Dean of Liberty Counsel Mat Staver says the public school is not a faith-free zone.
"We want to educate about the rights of students, teachers, even parents have within the public schools - and there are many rights they have. And the more principals and administrators know about those rights, I think, the less controversy we'll ultimately encounter," said Staver.
Staver says he's gotten very good responses so far.
Liberty Counsel is a nonprofit that advances religious freedom.

Obesity Surgery May Hold the Keys to Understanding Weight Loss Hormones
Obesity surgery is responsible for advances in the way that we understand how our bodies control weight.
Though diet and exercise remain important steps taken towards regulating weight loss, it turns out that hormones from the stomach and their communication with the brain affect how the body maintains and loses weight.
Dr. Sunil Bhoyrul, a weight-loss surgeon at Olde Del Mar Surgical in La Jolla, California, told MSNBC that "As a result of weight loss surgery, we finally are beginning to understand the physiology of weight loss better than we've ever understood it before."
By looking at patients that had undergone gastric bypass and examining the weight that they'd lost or gained back following the sugary, researchers were able to isolate a hormone called ghrelin, an appetite stimulant. When we diet, ghrelin levels in the body rise, making us hungry. Though we may lose weight, our body maintains its levels of ghrelin, which continues to make us feel hungry--the hormone's levels only fall if we regain the weight.
Gastric bypass surgery has resulted in a drop in ghrelin levels for many patients--it's cited as just one of many hormonal changes that occur with weight loss surgery.
Dr. Emma Patterson, a bariatric surgeon in Portland, Oregon, told MSNBC that gherkin communicates differently after different forms of surgery--those that undergo gastric banding experience a drop in hunger but not ghrelin.

Continuing with the post-release support, Bethesda has announced a new patch for their latest addition to the Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim. Among the usual bug fixes are some new additions, including kill cameras for ranged and magic attacks as well as new melee kill moves.
From the memes to the mods to the amazing stories that continue to be told, we've been blown away by the continued community support for Skyrim. All of it has driven us to make the game even better, and we're excited to start sharing news on upcoming features and content.If you've been keeping a close eye on Skyrim in the past few months, you will have noticed these new additions are oddly familar, due in part to being featured as a concept in the Game Jam sizzle shown during Todd Howard's DICE Keynote.
Check out the trailer below which showcases the kill cameras and new melee kills, which will definitely make the game a lot more cooler when you can see that arrow to the knee (sorry, I couldn't resist). If your interested in checking out the 1.5 patch early, it's currently available as a beta update on Steam, which you can find instructions for over here, as well as the full patch notes.

Trade Deadline
While many Flames fans were disappointed in the lack of activity by the Flames on trade deadline day, it shouldn't come as any surprise that Jay Feaster made no moves. While Feaster hinted there were a couple of potential deals that almost came to pass just before the 3:00pm ET deadline, it is hard to believe that the Flames had the flexibility or assets to make them. Feaster made his splash earlier in the season with the acquisition of Mike Cammalleri, Blake Comeau and Blair Jones. He also made it quite clear that the Flames weren't going to be sellers. There were rumblings early in the day that there were offers for Flames forward Tim Jackman but those rumours were squashed when it was announced that Jackman had been resigned to a two-year contract extension.
Sick Bay
One of the circumstances that supported Feaster being so quiet on the deadline day was the fact that the Flames had many regulars returning to the lineup. Curtis Glencross, Derek Smith and David Moss have all returned to the lineup over the past couple of weeks. It sounds as though Chris Butler and Lee Stempniak could also return in the near future. Unfortunately for the Flames it seems that as they get one or two players back from injury they lose another player. Over the past week the Flames have added five more to the injury list. The list includes Cammalleri, Comeau, Bouma, Jackman and Brodie. The extent of these injuries are not known, but any length of time lost by these players is critical to the Flames who may only have a few weeks of game action left. The injuries suffered by the Flames has become the main storyline of the season as the number of games lost ranks in the top of the league. With the game against Montreal last week, the Flames passed the 300 games lost mark on the season and that total will only continue to grow. Even with the recent return of players to the lineup, the Flames currently have nine regulars out with injury which includes seven forwards (two plus lines!) Only Jay Bouwmeester, Jarome Iginla and Jokinen have the potential to play all eighty-two games this season.
Is there a point when the injuries for the Flames become a legitimate excuse? The number of players out of the line-up is staggering and it has become so bad that media and fans are almost expecting injury revelations to continue after each game. I don't believe it can be used as an excuse for the Flames this year as they have been fortunate enough to have their core players play the majority of the season. Iginla, Jokinen, Kiprusoff, Tanguay have all escaped major injuries (knock on wood!). Currently the Flames are lucky to have two of their top players in Mark Giordano and Curtis Glencross back for the stretch drive. There is the question that some of the top end players will be over-played and be more prone to physical and mental fatigue but I believe these players love the situation they find themselves in. First and second line players want to play twenty plus minutes a night and be put in all types of situations. The biggest reason the Flames are continuing to be in the middle of the playoff picture is the performance of their top players. Finally, younger players and veterans who have been accustomed to smaller roles have become an integral part of the Flames.
Very Streaky!
- The Flames have scored the first goal in the last eleven games but surprisingly that has only led to a 5-3-3 record.
- The Flames continue to have very poor second periods where they have been consistently out-shot and outscored which explains why they have blown so many leads over the past few weeks.
- Glencross now has scored in seven straight games which is one short of a Flames record shared by Gary Roberts and Kent Nilsson. He has seven goals and three assists over the seven game streak.
- Iginla now has a four game goal streak of his own and has six goals and five assists during a current six game point streak.
- Alex Tanguay also boasts a six game point streak and has notched four goals and ten assists in his past nine games.
Are the Flames Teasing Fans With Another Modest Winning Streak?
With the win in Minnesota the Flames have now won three games in a row and have a record of 4-1-1 in their past six games. The recent surge has put them temporarily in the top eight for the second time this season. The last time the Flames vaulted themselves into the top eight they followed it up with a 0-2-2 home-stand where they were beaten handily by their provincial rivals and blew 2-0 and 3-0 leads in the two extra time losses. The Flames took care of business this past week beating the teams they should beat. The next two games come against the Sharks and Coyotes, two teams that are stuck in the logjam with the Flames. The Flames have managed to get points against the teams just above and below them in the standings but have struggled to win games in regulation. Three point games are the last thing the Flames need if they hope to stick in the top eight and gain ground on the teams close to them in the standings. At this point in the season one year ago the Flames were in sixth place with eighty-one points but struggled down the stretch just missing out of the playoffs. The Flames are going to have to scratch and claw for every possible point and it won't come easy but it seems as though they are more resilient than they were a year ago. The adversity they have faced with injuries and a slow start to the season just might make them fit to succeed down the stretch.
Quick Notes
- The Flames have seven upcoming potential UFA's if you include Tim Jackman but also have eleven players with some form of no-trade/movement clause.
- Jackman signed a two-year deal worth 1.225 million. Jackman has struggled this year after scoring ten goals and twenty-three points last season. He only has one tally and six assists to go along with a minus 19.
- The Flames recall of Guillaume Desbiens, Krys Kolanos and Greg Nemisz from Abbotsford was done on an emergency call-up which means the Flames still have the ability to make three call ups before the end of the regular season.
- Sven Baertschi has now played two games and has not disappointed. He scored his first career NHL goal in Minnesota and has not looked out-of-place. The nineteen year old has incredible skill and skating ability and is already showing the poise of a veteran player. He understands that his current stint in the NHL will be short but he is allowing himself to enjoy the experience and that can be easily seen in his demeanor on the ice.
- The Flames are 3-1-5 against the Kings, Ducks, Coyotes, Sharks and Stars over the past month and a half.
- At the same point last year, the Flames were 36-24-9 compared to the 32-25-12 record the Flames currently sit at.

Konjunkturanalyse For Bornholm, 1987 Til 1996
AbstractReal income on Bornholm is described by comparing the region with the capital area and the country. Region specific prices are constructed for housing expenditure and for services. Weights for these parts of household budgets and the residual are found from panel surveys of household consumption. Relative prices of the consumption bundle for each year in the period 1987 to 1996 are found for both those who own there dwelling and those who rent it. Median incomes for entrepreneurs, employees and workers are constructed. Combining data on incomes and on relative prices gives estimates of real incomes. The result is that households of employed persons are relatively rich on Bornholm during the period.

We all need comic relief this week. I know I do. I found this in the comments section at LSJ.com. "Spartan 81", an absolute rockstar composed this in the wake of UM loss. I'm not taking any credit for this. This is a gem, and definitely needs to be read by the Spartan multitude. (Click the time-stamp for a link to the original).
Spartan 81 says:October 24, 2012 at 2:01 am
(meant as comic relief for those who take things seriously)
It must have been cold there in Dantonios shadow,
to never have cameras in your face.
You were content to let Mark shine, that's your way.
You always called your plays a step behind.
So Mark was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the stink.
A beautiful game plan without a passing game for so long.
A next question smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an Eastern Michigan eagle,
'cause you are the OC tucked beneath Dantonios wings.
Your O line might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my depth chart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
Narduzzi would be 7-1 without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I can fly higher than an Eastern Michigan eagle,
'cause you are the OC tucked beneath Dantonios wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the OC tucked beneath Marks wings

Salaam, Shalom: Speaking of Peace
The 2013-14 Salaam, Shalom series is brought to you by multiple religious organizations across Marin, invested in the endeavor of peace.
The Salaam, Shalom: Speaking of Peace series aims to inspire interfaith connections and dialogue in a collaborative effort to foster peace locally. Each program tells the story of people who worked to overcome barriers created by religious and other differences to forge an alliance of good will, peace and prosperity. These inspiring stories illuminate how the path to peace is often paved by those with the courage to reach out to someone once considered a stranger or enemy—to listen and attempt to understand the world from another point of view.
As part of the 2013-14 series, we are excited to bring you three free programs, each planned with input by a cohort of faith organizations across Marin:
The aim of the Salaam, Shalom initiative is to create events and, where appropriate, follow-up discussion and learning opportunities that inspire interfaith connections and dialogue. We will do this by engaging high quality speakers, performers and artists who will expose us to new ideas and perspectives.
The 2013-14 Salaam, Shalom series was generously supported by Tricia and Richard Gibbs, and co-sponsored by the the Community Congregational Church of Tiburon, Congregation Kol Shofar, Congregation Rodef Sholom, First Congregational Church - Sonoma, First Presbyterian Church - San Rafael, First Presbyterian Church of San Anselmo, Islamic Center of Mill Valley, Islamic Center of North Marin, International Association of Sufism, Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), Marin Interfaith Council, Mt. Tamalpais United Methodist Church, Saint Raphael Church & Mission San Rafael Arcangel, and Westminster Presbyterian Church.
Last year, we presented three free programs as part of the Salaam, Shalom: Speaking of Peace series. Attendees received an "Act for Peace" Toolkit with multi-faith resources and information for further exploration of interfaith programs that promote peace. To learn more about each program, see below:
2/27/13: "Delicious Peace" : Film & Tastings
3/6/13: Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish

La très longue nuit by Aelin Quan (very slow summer mode) on Flickr.

"La très longue nuit", "The long long night"… As this one is more than a wink to surrealism, I thought it deserved a surrealist title.
Magritte used to ask his friends to brainstorm and find him a title for his last work. Unfortunately, all these funny guys are probably dust today, and spiritism is not a skill of mine…
So, I found another idea : to use a random generator of titles to replace Magritte's friends.
I found a comics title generator written by a Dr. Folaweb, nuitbd.webdynamit.net/nuitbd2/inspirateurs/gen_titres/
I clicked a few times to see what I could get. I discarded "Le remarquable chirurgien chaud" (though Ionesco's "La cantatrice chauve" is amongst my favorite books), "Le vaniteux mois des singes" and even "Le prisonnier rigolo". I could have kept "Le rêve" (The Dream) but this was not surreal enough. So, here it is : "La très longue nuit" :-)
Update May 6th, 2010 : I am happy this piece has been selected as the winner of the April'10 Evocative Landscapes Contest on Koinup. Here is the sum up of the jury's statement:
"Simple, stylish, colourful… completly particular. She combined her graphic art with Rose Borchowsy's visionary landscapes and the final result is really, really impressive and vibrant. The bright colors draw the silouhette, making the image minimalist, clean and really evocative.
Totally different from any other one, its unique touch makes it a perfect choice to be an icon to EvoLand".
OMG, are they talking about my image there ???
No, seriously, thanks to all the members of the jury, I am truly honoured…
************ Credits ************
- Landscape : creation of Rose Borchovski at Two Fish, thank you so much !
- Thanks to JoesSistah and Kelly Loves Whales for the textures !

I understand that in terms of depth, Rudy is a notch up on the totem pole than say, E. Williams, but why not give his minutes to players that will be part of our future?
More specifically I think we should be giving his minutes to Matthews and Batum to help develop some chemistry and refine skills in a potential squad that can make a run at the title. I feel like Rudy's minutes are being wasted since he doesn't want to be in the NBA (we know the whole story etc).
This isn't a Rudy bash, but it just seems illogical to me to burn minutes on a guy who's ceiling IS basically Wes Matthews and no where near Batum's, and who also happens to want OUT of the NBA. I do appreciate his vision, creativity, and quick 3pt shot (2-12 over the last 3 games, mind you) but over the long run, not giving Batum/Matthews more minutes right now will hurt us later. This can also provide some more rotation stability and/or let the other rooks get a whiff of PT.
Maybe it's to increase his trade value (which doesn't make much sense to me because he will be going back to Europe, so it can't be terribly high), or maybe it's because Nate feels sorry for him, I'm just not sure. I need some insight here!

Hey there TST,
Field Gulls is back for the 2nd time in a month and we'll be here all week discussing our Monday night "thriller" at CenturyLink Field. The game is somewhat relevant for both teams in that Seattle is somehow only 2 games out of a wild card spot and you guys are in for a top 5 pick with a possible new regime coming to take over the reigns.
For some reason ESPN, who loves to crap on the NFC West, has scheduled a November/December game featuring an NFC West divisional matchup five straight seasons. The last time St. Louis and Seattle played each other on primetime TV, we won the NFC West in a 16-6 classic that will be remembered for decades by national media.
Even though you guys are 2-10 it is a rivalry game so I wouldn't be so glum on your chances on Monday. Ask us anything about the Seahawks and we'll answer it.

Alavi Bohra
The Alavi Bohras are a Taiyabi Mustaali Ismaili Shi'i Muslim community from Gujarat, India. In India, during the time of the 18th Fatimid Imam Ma'ad al-Mustansir Billah around 1093 AD, the designated learned people (wulaat) who were sent from Yemen by the celebrated missionaries under the guidance of the Imam established a Dawah in Khambhat.
After the division of the Mustaalid community, the Yemenite Dawah followed at-Tayyib Abi l-Qasim as their Imam, and the Bohras are the modern descendants of Taiyabi converts and immigrants.
Subsequently, splits occurred at various instances in the mainstream Bohra community regarding the spiritual appointment in the succession of the representative of the Imam or Da'i in Ahmedabad between 1422-1640 AD. Two major splits during this period resulted in the formation of three major groups of Bohras: Alavis, Dawoodis and Sulaymanis.
One Dai succeeded another until the 23rd Dai in Yemen. In India also Wali-ul-Hind were appointed by them one after another until Wali-ul-Hind Moulai Jafer, Moulai Abdul Wahab and Moulai Qasim Khan bin Hasan (11th and last Wali-ul-Hind, d.950AH, Ahmedabad). The last three wali were of great help in the era of the 21st to 24th Dai. It was during this time when the Dawat was transferred to India from Yemen, that the 23rd Dai-al-Mutlaq Mohammed Ezzuddin performed nass (transfer of authority) on Yusuf Najmuddin ibn Sulaiman in Sidhpur, Gujrat, India.
Due to persecution by the local Zaydi Shi'a ruler in Yemen, the 24th Dai, Yusuf Najmuddin bin Sulayman (d.1567 AD), shifted the whole administration of the Dawat (mission) to India but continued to live in Yemen and died there. The 25th Dai Jalal Shamshuddin (d.1567 AD) was first dai to die in India; his mausoleum is in Ahmedabad, India. Dai Jalal's tenure as Dai was very short, only a few months, but before that he was Wali-ul Hind (after Moulai Qasim) for about 20 years under 24th Dai Yusuf while the Dai was in Yemen.
Following the death of the 26th Dai in 1591 CE, there was a dispute as to who was to succeed him. Suleman bin Hasan, the grandson of 24th Dai, was wali in Yemen and claimed the succession, supported by the other Yemeni Bohra. However, the Indian Bohra denied his claim of nass, declaring supporting documentation to be forged. The two factions separated, with the followers of Suleman becoming the Sulaymanis, and the followers of Dawood Bin Qutubshah becoming the Dawoodi Bohra.
Again in the period of the 29th Dai Abduttayyeb Zakiuddin, a small group of Alavi Bohra separated from Dawoodi Bohra under Ali bin Ibrahim (1046 AH/1637 AD), the grandson of 28th Dai Sheikh Adam Safiyuddin.
The Da'i of the present time i.e. the representative (naa'ib) of Imaam uz-Zamaan (the imaam in the progeny of Imaam Taiyeb), Saiyedna Abu Hatim Taiyeb Ziyauddin. Vadodara is the center of Davat for Alavi Bohras.

More Student Housing Coming to University Plaza
12/17/2013 (Updated 11:07:11 PM)The University Plaza on the Vestal Parkway in Vestal is expanding. That means there will be more housing options for Binghamton University students.
The Newman Development Group is in the planning stages of what they call the Metroplex at University Plaza.
The private apartments are coming after the success of Twin Rivers Commons downtown, also built by Newman.
The new complex will include an exercise facility, washers and driers in each apartment, a volleyball court and more.
Newman is demolishing two vacant office buildings in the plaza to make way for the renovation.
"The plaza right now, we think, looks nice, it looks good. But we think we can improve it. So I think for the town, it's a good project. For the university, it does augment everything that they're trying to do. I think students really like it. Being close to campus is really appealing," said Vice President for Student Housing at Newman Development Group Jeff Smetana.
Construction is set to start in 2014. The apartments will be available to students beginning in the Fall of 2015.

Pizza (i/ˈpiːtsə/, Italian pronunciation: [ˈpittsa]) is an oven-baked flat bread typically topped with a tomato sauce, cheese and various toppings. The modern pizza was invented in Naples, Italy, and the dish has since become popular in many parts of the world.[1] An establishment that makes and sells pizzas is called a "pizzeria". Many varieties of pizza exist worldwide, along with several dish variants based upon pizza. Pizza is cooked in various types of ovens, and a diverse variety of ingredients and toppings are utilized. In 2009, upon Italy's request, Neapolitan pizza was safeguarded in the European Union as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed dish.
The word pizza originates from the Latin verb pìnsere ("to press") and from the Greek pitta (derived from ancient Greek pēktos, πηκτός, meaning "solid" or "clotted"). The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese. In Byzantine Greek, the word was spelled πίτα, pita, or πίττα, pitta, meaning pie. The word has also spread to Romanian as pită, Turkish as pide,[2] and Bulgarian, Bosnian, Croatian, Macedonian and Serbian as pita, Albanian as pite and Modern Hebrew pittāh.[3] The Romans developed placenta, a sheet of dough topped with cheese and honey and flavored with bay leaves.
Modern pizza originated in Italy as the Neapolitan flatbread.
A popular urban legend holds that the archetypal pizza, Pizza Margherita, was invented in 1889, when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte commissioned the Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor of the visiting Queen Margherita. Of the three different pizzas he created, the Queen strongly preferred a pie swathed in the colors of the Italian flag: red (tomato), green (basil), and white (mozzarella). Supposedly, this kind of pizza was then named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita,[4] though recent research casts doubt on this legend.[5]
Pizza migrated to America with the Italians. After World War II many returning soldiers who were stationed in Italy created a high demand for the pizza they encountered and tasted in Italy. Pizza in this day and age has no limitations. It can be deep-dish pizza, stuffed pizza, pizza pockets, pizza turnovers, rolled pizza, pizza-on-a-stick, all with combinations of sauce and toppings limited only by one's inventiveness.[6]
In restaurants, pizza can be baked in an oven with stone bricks above the heat source, an electric deck oven, a conveyor belt oven or, in the case of more expensive restaurants, a wood- or coal-fired brick oven. On deck ovens, the pizza can be slid into the oven on a long paddle, called a peel, and baked directly on the hot bricks or baked on a screen (a round metal grate, typically aluminum). When made at home, it can be baked on a pizza stone in a regular oven to reproduce the effect of a brick oven. Another option is grilled pizza, in which the crust is baked directly on a barbecue grill. Greek pizza, like Chicago-style pizza, is baked in a pan rather than directly on the bricks of the pizza oven.
The bottom of the pizza, called the "crust", may vary widely according to style—thin as in a typical hand-tossed pizza, screen, thin, or Roman pizza, or thick as in a typical pan pizza or deep like a Chicago-style pizza. It is traditionally plain, but may also be seasoned with garlic or herbs, or stuffed with cheese. Whichever restaurant you go there, there are typically a few options of crust to chose from. The outer edge of the pizza is sometimes referred to as the cornicione.[7]
The original pizza used only mozzarella, the highest quality ones the buffalo mozzarella variant, produced in the surroundings of Naples. Other kinds of cheese may be used for creative alternative recipes (provolone, pecorino romano, ricotta, scamorza and many others), including processed cheeses for mass-market pizzas manufactured to produce desirable qualities like browning, melting, stretchiness and fat and moisture content. Many studies and experiments have analyzed the impact of vegetable oil, manufacturing and culture processes, denatured whey proteins and other changes to creating the ideal and economical pizza cheese. In 1997 it was estimated that annual production of pizza cheese was 2 billion pounds in the U.S. and 200 million pounds in Europe.[8]
Myriad toppings are used on pizzas, including, but not limited to:
Neapolitan pizza (pizza napoletana): Authentic Neapolitan pizzas are typically made with tomatoes and Mozzarella cheese. They can be made with ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, which grow on the volcanic plains to the south of Mount Vesuvius, and mozzarella di bufala Campana, made with the milk from water buffalo raised in the marshlands of Campania and Lazio in a semi-wild state (this mozzarella is protected with its own European protected designation of origin).[9]
According to the rules proposed by the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana,[10] the genuine Neapolitan pizza dough consists of wheat flour (type 0 or 00, or a mixture of both), natural Neapolitan yeast or brewer's yeast, salt and water. For proper results, strong flour with high protein content (as used for bread-making rather than cakes) must be used. The dough must be kneaded by hand or with a low-speed mixer. After the rising process, the dough must be formed by hand without the help of a rolling pin or other machine, and may be no more than 3 millimeters (0.12 in) thick. The pizza must be baked for 60–90 seconds in a 485 °C (905 °F) stone oven with an oak-wood fire.[11] When cooked, it should be crispy, tender and fragrant. There are three official variants: pizza marinara, which is made with tomato, garlic, oregano and extra virgin olive oil, pizza Margherita, made with tomato, sliced mozzarella, basil and extra-virgin olive oil, and pizza Margherita extra made with tomato, mozzarella from Campania in fillets, basil and extra virgin olive oil. The pizza napoletana is a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (Specialità Tradizionale Garantita, STG) product in Europe.[12][13]
Lazio style: Pizza in Lazio (Rome), as well as in many other parts of Italy, is available in two different styles. Take-away shops sell pizza rustica or pizza al taglio.[14] This pizza is cooked in long, rectangular baking pans and relatively thick (1–2 cm). The pizza is often cooked in an electric oven. It is usually cut with scissors or a knife and sold by weight. In pizzerias, pizza is served in a dish in its traditional round shape. It has a thin, crisp base quite different from the thicker and softer Neapolitan style base. It is usually cooked in a wood-fired oven, giving the pizza its unique flavor and texture. In Rome, a pizza napoletana is topped with tomato, mozzarella, anchovies and oil (thus, what in Naples is called pizza romana, in Rome is called pizza napoletana).
Other types of Lazio-style pizza include:
In Sicily, there is a variety of pizza called Sfincione.[21]
In Italy, there was a bill before Parliament in 2002 to safeguard the traditional Italian pizza,[22] specifying permissible ingredients and methods of processing[23] (e.g., excluding frozen pizzas). Only pizzas which followed these guidelines could be called "traditional Italian pizzas" in Italy.
On 9 December 2009, the European Union, upon Italian request, granted Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) safeguard to traditional Neapolitan pizza, in particular to "Margherita" and "Marinara".[24] The European Union enacted a protected designation of origin system in the 1990s.

During the latter half of the 20th century, pizza become a globally accessible dish, mainly due to Italian immigrants that had brought their dishes to new people with resounding success, often in racially and culturally resistive environments.
A survey from 2004 showed that Norwegians eat the most pizza (5.4 kg/person*year), followed by Germans.[25]
The usual Italian varieties are available, though more common is the style popular in the U.S., with more and richer toppings than Italian style. A common unique type is the Aussie, Australian or Australiana which has the usual tomato sauce base and mozzarella cheese with bacon and egg (seen as quintessentially Australian breakfast fare).[26] Pizzas with seafood such as prawns are also popular. In the 1980s some Australian pizza shops and restaurants began selling "gourmet pizzas", that is, pizzas with more expensive ingredients such as salmon, dill, bocconcini, tiger prawns, or unconventional toppings such as kangaroo, emu and crocodile. "Wood-fired pizzas", that is, those cooked in a ceramic oven heated by wood fuel, are well-regarded.
Pizza became a popular fast food in Bangladeshi urban areas. Introduction of various branded pizza such as Domino's and Pizza Hut in early to mid-2000s, it has reached almost all classes of urban peoples.
São Paulo has 6,000 pizza establishments and 1.4 million pizzas are consumed daily.[27] It is said that the first Brazilian pizzas were baked in the Brás district of São Paulo in the early part of the 20th century. Until the 1950s, they were only found in the Italian communities. Since then, pizza became increasingly popular among the rest of the population. The most traditional pizzerias are still found in the Italian neighborhoods, such as Bexiga (official name: Bela Vista). Both Neapolitan (thick crust) and Roman (thin crust) varieties are common in Brazil, with traditional versions using tomato sauce and mozzarella as a base. Brazilian pizza in general, though, tends to have less tomato sauce than the Italian version, or uses slices of tomato in place of sauce. Brazilian pizzerias offer also Brazilian variants such as "pizza com catupiry". July 10 is "Pizza Day" in São Paulo, marking the final day of an annual competition among "pizzaiolos". In Brazil, pizza quatro queijos (pizza quattro formaggi) uses mozzarella, provolone, parmesan and gorgonzola, and there is also a variety with five cheeses, which adds catupiry.
Pizza is an emerging fast food in Indian urban areas. American pizza chains Domino's Pizza and Pizza Hut opened their first outlets in India in 1996.[28][29] Domestic pizza brands include Smokin' Joes and Pizza Corner. Branded pizza is available in most cities in India.[30]
Pizzas served in India by foreign pizza brands feature greater "recipe localization" from pizza makers than many other markets such as Latin America and Europe, but similar to other Asian pizza markets. Indian pizzas tend to be spicier and more veggie-oriented than those in other countries. Indian pizzas are generally spicier and more veggie-oriented than those in other countries. For instance, oregano spice packs are included with a typical pizza order in India instead of Parmesan cheese.[29]
Pizza outlets serve pizzas with several Indian-style toppings like Tandoori Chicken and Paneer. Along with Indian variations, more conventional pizzas are also eaten. Pizzas available in India range from localized basic variants available in neighborhood bakeries, to gourmet pizzas with exotic and imported ingredients available at specialty restaurants.
Many Israeli and American pizza stores and chains, including Pizza Hut and Sbarro, have both kosher and non-kosher locations.[31] Kosher locations either have no meat or use imitation meat because of the Jewish religious dietary prohibition against mixing meat with dairy products, such as cheese. Kosher pizza locations must also close during the holiday of Passover, when no leavened bread is allowed in kosher locations.[32] Some Israeli pizza differs from pizza in other countries because of the very large portions of vegetable toppings such as mushrooms or onions, and some unusual toppings, like corn or labane, and middle-Eastern spices, such as za'atar. Like most foods in Israel, pizza choices reflect multiple cultures.
American pizza chains entered Japan in the 1970s (e.g. Shakey's Pizza and Pizza Hut 1973, Domino's pizza in 1985). The largest Japanese pizza chain is Pizza-La. The most popular pizza chain promoting Italian style artisanal pizza is Salvatore Cuomo. The Italian association Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana has an independent branch in Japan. Local types of pizza have been made, for instance mochi pizza (crust made with Japanese mochi cakes).[33][34]
Pizza is a popular snack food in South Korea, especially among younger people.[35] Major American brands such as Domino's, Pizza Hut, and Papa John's Pizza compete against domestic brands such as Mr. Pizza and Pizza Etang, offering traditional as well as local varieties which may include toppings such as bulgogi and dak galbi. Korean-style pizza tends to be complicated, and often has nontraditional toppings such as corn, potato wedges, sweet potato, shrimp, or crab. The super-deluxe "Grand Prix" at Mr. Pizza has Cajun shrimp, bell peppers, olives, and mushrooms on one side, and potato wedges, bacon, crushed tortilla chips, and sour cream on the other side. Its potato mousse-filled cookie dough crust is sprinkled with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and raisins, and can be dipped in a blueberry sauce that is provided.
Traditional Italian-style thin-crust pizza is served in the many Italian restaurants in Seoul and other major cities. North Korea's first pizzeria opened in its capital Pyongyang in 2009.[36]
Pizza restaurants in Malaysia include Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Jom Pizza, and Sure Pizza.[citation needed]
Mexican pizza is a pizza made with ingredients typical of Mexican cuisine. The Mexican pizza is not Mexican in origin, but is a regionally modified cuisine of Italian pizza. This type of pizza is called "Mexicana" by adding Mexican toppings. The usual toppings that can be found throughout Mexico are chorizo, jalapeño pepper slices, grilled or fried onions, tomato, chile, hominy, shrimp, avocado, and sometimes beef, bell peppers, tripas or scallop. This pizza has the usual marinara sauce or white sauce and mozzarella cheese. Variations, substituting pepper jack cheese or Oaxaca cheese for mozzarella, are also popular. A Mexican pizza is offered by Taco Bell fast food restaurant in most locations in North America.[37]
Pizza is becoming more popular as a fast food in the urban areas of Nepal, particularly in the capital city, Kathmandu. There are a number of restaurants that serve pizzas in Kathmandu. With the opening of a number of international pizza brands, the popularity as well as consumption has markedly increased in recent times.
The Norwegians eat most pizza in the world according to a survey by ACNielsen 2004, 5,4 kg/year per capita. 50 million frozen pizzas were sold that year, with consumption being 22,000 tons of frozen pizza, 15,000 tons of home-baked and 13,000 tons of restaurant-made pizzas.
The first pizzerias opened up in Karachi and Islamabad in the late 1980s, with Pappasallis serving pizza in Islamabad since 1990. Pizza has gained a measure of popularity in the eastern regions of Pakistan—namely, the provinces of Sindh, Punjab, and Azad Kashmir, as well as the autonomous territory of Gilgit-Baltistan. Pizza has not penetrated into western Pakistan; of the remaining provinces and territories of Pakistan, only one (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) has seen much of the dish, in the form of a single Pizza Hut in Peshawar.[38] In the regions where pizza is known, spicy chicken and sausage-based pizzas are very popular, as they cater to the local palate.
Pizza arrived in Sweden with Italian guest workers and became popular around 1970. Swedish pizza is mainly of the Neapolitan type and most pizzerias in Sweden have pizzas Margherita, Capricciosa and Quattro Stagioni at the top of the menu, although with altered recipes. For example, a Swedish Margherita uses Swedish hard cheese instead of mozzarella and dried oregano instead of fresh basil. The Swedish pizza has been developed with lots of inventions and styles, creating a tradition distinct from the Italian one, although some names may coincide. Occasionally pizzerias offer "Italian pizza" imitating Italian recipes in addition to the Swedish ones.
A typical Swedish pizzeria offers 40-50 different named varieties in the menu, even up to 100, and personal modifications are offered. Besides, many pizzerias also serve salads, lasagne, kebab and hamburgers, especially if there is a facility to sit and eat. Italian style restaurants often combine a restaurant menu with a pizza menu.
Some popular varieties common in most of Sweden, mostly with the same name, all having tomato sauce and cheese to start with and additional toppings:
One of the most popular types of pizza in Sweden since the 1990s is kebab-pizza, and a song in the Swedish Eurovision song contest 2008 was "Kebabpizza slivovitza". The invention ought to be a result of the common tendency of pizza bakers to create their own flagship compositions and novel flavors, using whatever might be available in their kitchen. Since the last years one can find pizza with fresh lettuce or chips (French fries) put on top after baking. The amount of topping compared to the crust is rather high in international comparison.
The typical side order with Swedish pizza is a free "pizza salad", made with shredded cabbage, coarse pepper and sometimes red paprika, slightly pickled (fermented) in vinaigrette for a few days. In general, Swedish pizzerias are private enterprises and not franchise, often owned as a family business by immigrants, but very seldom Italians. Of international restaurant chains only Pizza Hut is well established, although Vapiano has a few restaurants in Stockholm and Domino's have been trying to establish itself in southern Sweden since 2008.[39] Many pizzerias offer affordable (about 1-2 € total, or free with large order) home delivery in less than 30 minutes and many are connected to an on-line ordering service. The take-away price of one standard size (30 cm) pizza is 5 to 8 € depending on topping, about the double for a "family pizza" of double size (weight), and about the half for a "children's pizza" (mostly served in restaurants). Pizza has become a staple food in Sweden (1,1 kg/year), although most people prepare their own food, as home cooking skills generally are good, and is largely considered as an acceptable occasional fast food alternative to a proper meal. See also sv:pizza.
In 1905, the first pizza establishment in the United States was opened in New York's Little Italy.[40] Due to the wide influence of Italian immigrants in American culture, the U.S. has developed regional forms of pizza, some bearing only a casual resemblance to the Italian original. Chicago has its own style of a deep-dish pizza. Detroit also has its unique twice-baked style, with cheese all the way to the edge of the crust, and New York City's thin crust pizzas are well-known. St. Louis, Missouri uses thin crusts and rectangular slices in its local pizzas, while New Haven-style pizza is a thin crust variety that does not include cheese unless the customer asks for it as an additional topping.
Slices of New York-style pizza
Pizza is available frozen, as round traditional pizzas or in portion-size pieces. Methods have been developed to overcome challenges such as preventing the sauce from combining with the dough and producing a crust that can be frozen and reheated without becoming rigid. Modified corn starch is commonly used as a moisture barrier between the sauce and crust. Traditionally the dough is partially baked and other ingredients are also sometimes precooked. There are frozen pizzas with raw ingredients and self-rising crusts. A form of uncooked pizza is available from take and bake pizzerias. This pizza is created fresh using raw ingredients, then sold to customers to bake in their own ovens or microwave ovens. Another approach is using a fresh dough, sold with sauce and basic ingredients, to complete before baking in oven.
Some mass-produced pizzas by food chains have been criticized as having an unhealthy balance of ingredients. Pizza can be high in salt, fat and calories. There are concerns about negative health effects.[41] Food chains, such as Pizza Hut, have come under criticism[when?] for the high salt content of some of their meals, which were found to contain more than twice the daily recommended amount of salt for an adult.[42]
Some studies have linked consumption of the antioxidant lycopene, which exists in tomato products that are often used on pizza, as having a beneficial health effect. European nutrition research on the eating habits of people with cancer of the mouth, oesophagus, throat or colon showed those who ate pizza at least once a week had less chance of developing cancer. Dr Silvano Gallus, of the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmaceutical Research in Milan, attributed it to lycopene, an antioxidant chemical in tomatoes, which is thought to offer some protection against cancer.[43] Carlo La Vecchia, a Milan-based epidemiologist said, "Pizza could simply be indicative of a lifestyle and food habits, in other words the Italian version of a Mediterranean diet." A traditional Mediterranean diet is rich in olive oil, fiber, vegetables, fruit, flour, and freshly cooked food. In contrast to the traditional Italian pizza used in the research, popular pizza varieties in many parts of the world are often loaded with high fat cheeses and fatty meats, a high intake of which can contribute to obesity, itself a risk factor for cancer.

Add Your New Review About The Song
Patrick Dean | Reviewer: jordan | 1/29/10
I am all alone. I love Patrick with all of my heart, but he loves Hilary with his heart. I could walk out of his life forever and he wouldn't care. I could die and he wouldn't notice that I was missing. I am nothing to him, but he is everything to me.
sympathy | Reviewer: anonimous | 1/26/10
it seems that the majority of you feel the same like me... it's silly how someone can breake your heart and you still love him with all the pieces.. i've been let down many times but now i just feel alone.. like nobody would care if i died tonight..
Review | Reviewer: Nayem | 1/20/10
Well,i just took a look around the older reviews...and...i wonder how a lyric can wave through ppl's emotion,ppl's heart...its mazing!! Eva's song like enigma to me...like a cup of peace in a dark frozen nite...
Moving | Reviewer: Sila Vendethiel | 1/4/10
Missing is one of Eva's most moving songs, it reminds me of reflections and also the weaker side of everyone - I think everyone has moments when they sit back and think "if I left now, would anyone notice?" It's about not having enough love for yourself.
Undiscribable. | Reviewer: Alexis | 1/2/10
I have been listening to Evanescence since I was about 7 years old. My mom is the gothic type of person. The first song my mom introduced me to was Hello. I love the lyrics, in any of Evanescence's song the lyrics speak to people. Not like songs and this day do. The lyrics have true meaning. I am 14 now. Seems pretty young, I know. But I follow in my mothers footsteps. Evanescence, is by far the greatest band known to man.
Into the mirror | Reviewer: Dougy | 9/7/09
If you think like how i do, you probably thought of this song as a reflection of yourself. Like looking at a mirror and asking why you changed so drastically that you don't even care about your self anymore. Then maybe, you didn't know who YOU were to begin with....forgiving yourself is the hardest battle.
crying all the days... | Reviewer: anonimous | 8/10/09
Missing always reminds me the lonelyness I'm living every day. I don't feel that my boyfriend and all the people I know (I don't know if call them friends because they never acted as it) really cares about me. Will they cry for me if I'll die tomorrow? I don't think so. They don't notice how I'm feeling. I feel that they don't mind. No one think about me... No one really love me...
Listen | Reviewer: lee | 7/19/09
i know everyone has their own song review but it's amazing how much people can mess up a simple song just listen to the pain the tears and the blood flow out of this you know so deep pain is embedded in it i know what it's like to bleed infrot of the one person who once loved me and he never cared some times trhuth is paralyzing
Wow | Reviewer: Stacey | 5/1/09
Ok I read a lot of Twilight fanfictions and Im writing one, so becuz i love evanescnece, i searched all their songs and stumbled upon this one, and i started crying almost. just the emotion in this song matched so many things in literature that ive read. wow beautriful
made me sad | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/26/09
i liked a guy 4 and a half years straight. since i was barely 9 so im pretty much 14 in a couple of months and today he found i like him again after a rough time of him finding out last time and we were friends but now he ignores me like everyone else; i know im pretty and im kind and yet no1 seems to see it. -.-
missing.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/6/09
i love evanscence so much...this song remainds me about a period in my life..i lost him..and i think for ever...i tried my hardest but i couldn't forget..so when i hear this song i think that i'm singing it!!
reflection | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/17/09
this seems like reflection of my past relationship, i fell in love with a boy who was into drugs three years ago. i went in thinking i could change him and i ended up giving him everything i had for it to just end in nothing but a couple of bruises on my face and neck, it was my fault for staying but i know one day when, or should i say if he sobers up he will realize what he let go through his fingers
It means so much | Reviewer: Helena | 12/19/08
Right now I'm sick and I'm at home and waiting for my friends to call me but mostly I am waiting for my boyfriend to call me and I wonder did he even notice I am gone...? Did he ever love me..? This song means so much to me. I'm crying everytime when I hear it. It's so beautiful and it really shows how I feel right now.

Movie by ODU graduate opens April 16 in theaters
"The Joneses," a new movie written, directed and produced by Old Dominion University graduate Derrick Borte, opens April 16 in local theaters.
Borte, a graduate of First Colonial High School in Virginia Beach, received a bachelor of fine arts degree in painting from ODU in 1991. Since earning his degree, he has worked as a graphic artist for surf companies, had gallery shows of his art work and earned an M.A. in media studies from The New School in New York City.
A social commentary on American consumerism, "The Joneses" (rated R) stars Demi Moore, David Duchovny, Amber Heard and Ben Hollingsworth. As noted in the movie's advance billing, "They're not just living the American dream, they're selling it."
A synopsis of the film on the movie's Web site, www.thejonesesmovie.com, calls Moore and Duchovny a "seemingly perfect couple," but goes on to say: "The Joneses have better goods and game than any other family in town. The only problem is they're not a family - they are employees of a stealth marketing organization, and they know how to make everyone else want what they've got."
In his April 14 Associated Press review, David German gives the movie three stars out of four. He writes: " 'The Joneses' " has a very clever concept: A marketing company dispatches a family of insanely appealing people, led by heads of household David Duchovny and Demi Moore, to make their neighbors covet all the cool gadgets and products they've got.
"It makes for good, though not great, satire of the consumer culture that helped wreck the economy, a gotta-have-it mindset that continues to flare up even in hard times (iPad, anyone?)."

The inappropriate behavior of fundamentalist Christian military leaders will not likely change on its own. Ample rules and regulations remain in place to appropriately separate the religious beliefs of military leaders from their official duties and responsibilities. Most lacking, however, is the social and political will to enforce the existing rules and hold military commanders accountable for breaches of conduct.Until some group with the political power to challenge the entrenched Christian fundamentalists in the military takes action, there will be not change. This problem will persist until either mainline Christians in the US Military get tired of being treated like non-Christians or the non-Christians become more numerous in the military. And this report also does not cover other troubling developments like the links between the more extreme Christian fundamentalists and religious and racial supremacists in and outside of the military.
The cases outlined in this paper raise the fundamental question captured by the classic Latin dictum, quis custodiet ipsos custodes – who will guard the guards themselves? Based on the evidence presented herein, the status quo remains resilient. Military institutions have shown significant reticence to discipline any of their own who use the power of their official positions to run rampant through the senior ranks of the military simply because it is allowed to do so. After all, every system is perfectly designed to yield the behaviors observed.
The answer to this dictum is that the American people, both elected officials and ordinary citizens, are tasked with guarding the guards. As the previous pages make clear, there is a serious problem with religious endorsement in the U.S. Armed Forces which needs to be immediately addressed and changed. It is up to those with social and political power to demand this action. If this problem persists, members of the military will continue to face hostility and indoctrination, and the U.S. government will continue to experience public relations problems in future military missions. If it is addressed, the U.S. military could become a neutral and safe space for members of all religious backgrounds, and none at all, and the image of the America, as seen through its military forces abroad, could change from one of Christianity to one of a diverse people united for liberty and justice for all.

With the introduction of cutting ice Machines edge and innovative technologies, a commercial ice machine is no longer a bulky device producing insanitation, consuming a lot of energy, making noise, and taking a lot of time to make the needed supply of ice. As a result of high end technologies, commercial ice machines are able to achieve "being green" the highest levels of energy and water conservation. Now a commercial ice machine can easily produce from 65 pounds to 2,000 pounds of ice cubes in a day. You can find varied shapes of ice cubes such as dice, half dice, octagon, crushed, nugget, and flake.
Commercial ice machines are the standalone units,ice Machines designed to produce large quantities of ice for various commercial purposes. Once installed, these commercial ice makers are pretty automatic and do not need much attention from you or your staff. These factory-made machines consist of a condensing unit and ice-making section that operates as an integrated unit to make ice, an ice bin or a storage unit to store the created ice and a dispensing unit to dispense the ice out of the machine. Many automatic ice machines use moving water to create an improved quality of ice cubes. They work on the principle of "faster the water moves the better the ice quality becomes". In this process, the air and un-dissolved solids get washed away. This results in pure and clear ice production.
Large amounts of ice are demanded for various purposes in many ice Machines commercial entities such as Restaurants, Bars, Ice Cream Parlors, Bakeries, Country Clubs and Golf Courses. A commercial ice machine is the perfect choice for such places as the large quantity of ice also needs to be a certain quality as well. Automatic commercial ice machines will make plenty of ice of equal size in a short span of time. All you need to do is just start the machine and set the required functions, and leave the rest up to the machine. You will get good quantity of quality ice in a short amount of time. In addition, many commercial ice machines come with a self cleaning function. This will help maintain the quality and quantity if the produced ice while decreasing the time that you and or your staff must spend with the machine.
Keep in mind that there are two varieties of ice machines: air cooled and waterice Machines cooled. Air cooled ice machines use air to disperse the heat, whereas water cooled ice machine uses water to do the same function. Air cooled ice machines use more energy and also are much noisier than water cooled ice machines. However, they are more affordable than water cooled ice machines.
An assorted collection of wonderful, fast and energy efficient commercial ice makers are readilyice Machines available in the market. Various renowned and reliable manufacturers have come up with their unique range of these amazing machines. Numerous models that create different types and sizes of ice are available in the local and online market. A competitive urge of creating more efficient and cost effective ice machines, has left the customers and consumers with a distinctive variety of these units in which to choose.

Nolan Ryan says he is still discussing with Texas Rangers ownership his role as the team's chief executive officer.
Ryan issued a statement Sunday that he has met in person with team co-chairmen Ray Davis and Bob Simpson and that the "conversations have been productive." Ryan says they agreed that "these discussions will continue as we go forward."
Speculation about Ryan's role and future with the Rangers has been growing since some seemingly routine promotions nine days earlier. Ryan had remained quiet publicly during that span.
Team ownership announced March 1 that general manager Jon Daniels and chief operating officer Rick George had been promoted and had new presidential titles. Ryan had been president and CEO.
Here is the full statement from Nolan:
"Over the last week, Ray Davis, Bob Simpson, and I have been in discussion and met in-person. The conversations have been productive, and we have discussed my role as CEO of the organization. We agreed these discussions will continue as we go forward.
I am very proud of what the Rangers have accomplished over the last several years, and I believe our preparations for the upcoming season are what is important. "

Nevada duo is top target for nation's elite
Muhammad, Bennett may end up playing together in college
NOTE: Kentucky Recruiting Board and original interviews with Wildcat targets coming tomorrow morning. Don't forget to check back.
As the head coach at Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.), Michael Peck is in the unique position of working in the same city in which both Shabazz Muhammad and Anthony Bennett currently play high school ball.
A handful of elite programs are targeting the two players, with Kentucky and UNLV in the mix for both.
So what would it mean if one of those programs – say, Kentucky – were to score a double-dip and land both players come springtime?
"Oh my God, amazing," Peck told Fivestarbasketball.com on Wednesday. "It would be tremendous because they play different positions but both are physically ready for that next level. I mean, you look at both, their size and their physical makeup, and they're explosive athletes. A lot of guys that go to the next step have to get more time in the weight room and develop their bodies. These guys, their bodies are ready. They'll continue to get stronger but they're both ready for that next step."
As always, Kentucky is in the mix for a "Who's Who" of elite players in the class.
Having already landed a three-man recruiting class of Alex Poythress, Willie Cauley and Archie Goodwin, the Wildcats are heavily involved with Muhammad, Bennett, Amile Jefferson, Ricardo Gathers and Devonta Pollard – all of whom are expected to sign in the spring.
Muhammad, the 6'6'' small forward out of Bishop Gorman, remains the No. 1 priority, and Kentucky coach John Calipari was in the stands at the recent City of Palms Classic in Florida to watch him. Assistant Orlando Antigua has made Muhammad a primary focus for the rest of the year.
"It's great seeing him [Calipari in] the stands and watching him on TV," Muhammad told Five-Star at City of Palms. "If he's there watching you, that's a blessing to have."
Muhammad, who is also considering Duke, Kansas, Arizona, UNLV and UCLA, will participate this weekend in the Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass. Bishop Gorman takes on DeMatha Catholic Monday at 1 p.m., in a game that will be nationally televised on ESPNU.
Then on Jan. 21, Muhammad and Bennett will go toe-to-toe when Findlay Prep and Bishop Gorman meet in another nationally televised game at Cox Pavillion at UNLV.
Hometown fans are hoping that UNLV can land one or both players, and are buoyed by the knowledge that UNLV just landed former Pittsburgh forward Khem Birch, who must sit a year before becoming eligible.
That move was not lost on Muhammad's father, Ron Holmes, either.
"Bazz wants to go to a program that has a chance to win a National Championship," Holmes told SNY.tv. "UNLV is putting the pieces together to be in that position. They are close to home and have a great style of play. Getting players like Khem Birch only strengthens UNLV in the eyes of Shabazz."
Still, Holmes added Wednesday that, "'Bazz likes Kentucky very much. Nothing has changed."
As for Kentucky's chances at Bennett, the 6-7 power forward recently trimmed his list to five schools, Kentucky, UNLV, Washington, Oregon and Florida.
"Cal was out two or three times in the fall during the evaluation period," Peck said. "And it's not like he's just 30 minutes down the road. He's made the effort. When he came back from coaching with the Dominican team, he flew right into Vegas. It's not like he went to Kentucky and then came here. He came right from the Dominican and touched base with Anthony.
Still, Peck underscored that Bennett remains open and will take visits before deciding in April.
"I think he's going to start lining up those visits and start using those as that final measure for what he feels when he goes on those visits," Peck said. "Once you step on that campus and you're there for that 48-hour period, you're going to have a good feeling, a great feeling, and then you can compare it to the others. That's obviously his next step."
In the meantime, Kentucky fans can dream about adding the Vegas duo of Muhammad and Bennett to yet another fabulous haul.
"Jeez, with the two of them, that's maybe two of the better offensive weapons in the whole class," Findlay assistant Todd Simon said.
He added:
"I think those two may be the best two offensive players in the class in terms of a matchup standpoint. Shabazz is a strong wing who can do a lot of things. And Anthony has unique size and strength as a player and can take advantage of just about any matchup."

It's time for a new look and drivers around Ohio will be wearing it with pride.
Today the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles unveiled its new "Ohio Pride" license plate. The plate displays 46 slogans in the background describing what makes Ohio a great state such as "heart of it all" and "home of aviation".
The selection of slogans was a collaborative effort as Ohio residents submitted and voted for them. Governor Kasich then contacted Columbus College of Art and Design students to design the plate. Designer Aaron Roberts says the top red portion of the plate represents not only aviation but Ohio's distinctive flag and a cardinal's crest.
The state will be phasing out the beautiful Ohio plates as they will be available only until the inventory is gone. They replaced the sunrise plates back in 2010.
