Peter,Is there no sugar used in this sauce?I know some places will use a little.Just wondering.
Mike,I'm glad that the numbers worked out for you. I tried my best to eyeball and weigh the ingredients carefully but when you are working from volume measurements taken visually from a video, you can't always be sure that the weighings are correct. It would be interesting to know if Luigi weighs any of his ingredients. I would think that it would make sense to make up a standardized seasoning mix for the pizza sauce using weights, but for the fresh basil, which would be added at the end as shown in the video. The only thing we saw weighed in the video was the dough balls.I am pretty certain that Luigi uses the same grated Parmesan for the sauce as is put on the tables of his pizzeria for his patrons. That would be a foodservice quality grated Parmesan cheese. A typical Kraft grated Parmesan would be a reasonable substitute in a home settiing. Adding a better quality Parmesan cheese would be an improvement but it might have a different flavor profile over the inexpensive Parmesan pizza that Luigi no doubt uses.I hope that the sauce tastes as well on the pizza as out of the bowl.Peter
Peter,Is there no sugar used in this sauce?I know some places will use a little.Just wondering.Mike,If you can,let me know how the sauce tastes the next day or 3 if you keep it in the fridge that long.Im curious if the acidity changes much or if the flavors increase.
Peter,I really need to buy one of those small digital scales for small measurements below 1 gram. That's the main reason I had to round the numbers up except for the black pepper, which I basically eyeballed using 1/8 tsp which still might not be accurate.
My digital scale does not do fractions of grams, just whole numbers. What scale can any of you recommend that is good for measuring . (point) measurements in grams? I just wing it and I do pretty well but I'd rather be more accurate with a scale than can do fractions. What I mean is if it calls for .25 that's 1/4 of a gram.
Norma, to hit a target of 13.5% protein for that formulation (308 g total flour) 253 g KASL55 g Generic All Purpose Flour
No problem Norma It's not the most intuitive of calculators- it took me a few minutes to figure out as well.
PE101,I just bought this one...http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012LOQUQMeasures as low as 0.01 grams. That's probably as low as it gets.
Mike, thank you very much for the link to that scale. That price is really low too in addition to the increments the scale can do. I will buy that one.
If Mike tells us that he likes the clone Luigi pizza sauce on an actual pizza, I should be able to come up with a set of baker's percents for the Luigi clone sauce. I didn't think to convert my ingredient weights to volume measurements but, had I chosen to do so, my numbers would most likely have differed from those used by others with their specific set of ingredients, especially those from other suppliers. However, it does make sense for each person to do such conversions to simplify making the sauce in the future with the same ingredients, or for scaling purposes. This is one of those instances where, in a home setting, people are used to--and may prefer--volume measurements rather than weights, especially when the numbers are on the small side. Peter
I think what you experienced with the sauce is the effect of gelling. That is usually because of the garlic. I remember reading about this phenomenon at the PMQ Think Tank, so I did a PMQTT search and found the thread on this subject at http://thinktank.pmq.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9106&hilit=. Originally, I thought that the problem was the use of fresh garlic but if you click on the Stanislaus link at the end of the abovereferenced thread, which was posted by Steve Rouse of Stanislaus, you will see that the problem can occur with many forms of garlic, including dry forms. You can perhaps get around the problem by either adding the garlic powder just before you are ready to use the sauce (which may yield a less pronounced flavor impact as a result) or nuke it in the microwave for a bit to see if that solves the problem. If the solution ends up with the need to add more water, then that is what you do. However, because of the uniqueness of this problem, I would not change the formulation of the sauce from a bakers percent standpoint.
You mentioned that when your friends girlfriend bit into the crust, there was the same sound as in the Luigi video. I used to think that that was the real sound until scott r told us, at Reply 22 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,14087.msg141782/topicseen.html#msg141782, that often the crunch sound is dubbed in during post production.
On the matter of the amount of cheese, you will have to experiment with that. It looks like Luigi free throws the cheese and toppings so you will have to try to emulate what you see in the video, and note the amount of cheese (you may have to build your pizza on the scale, using the tare feature as necessary). It would also help if someone purchased a basic cheese pizza from Luigis place, or maybe one with pepperoni, and weigh the pizza (and note the number of pepperoni slices if a pepperoni pizza is purchased). We believe we know the weight of the dough (18 ounces), and we can estimate the weight loss during baking (which you might test sometimes even in your home oven), so the total pizza weight might help us zero in on the amounts of sauce and cheese to use. If your clone sauce is like Luigis, then that might help in the analysis. To get closer on the sauce and the proper hydration, you would perhaps have to play around with the Stanislaus tomatoes that Luigi uses, as shown in photos that have been referenced earlier in this thread.
I have never used Stanislaus products. I would have to check with Armando and find out if he can order a couple of 7/11 cans for me. If not, which product would you suggest comes close? 6in1s is what I used yesterday.
Mike,The only Stanislaus tomatoes that I saw in photos attributed to Luigi's are the Full-Red Extra Heavy Tomato Puree and the 7/11 Ground Tomatoes (http://www.stanislaus.com/products/real-italian-products/from-scratch-products#11). We don't really know how Luigi is using those products. It could be individually or in combination (see, for example, the robozig PMQTT post at http://thinktank.pmq.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4434&p=24786&hilit=#p24767), and possibly Luigi thins out the sauce with water even though Stanislaus frowns upon doing this. There is nothing in the video to suggest that Luigi thins out the tomatoes with water. The closest Stanislaus tomato product to the Escalon 6-and-1s are the Stanislaus Tomato Magic Ground Tomatoes (http://www.stanislaus.com/products/real-italian-products/from-scratch-products#Magic). However, the Stanislaus website says that the 7/11 Ground Tomato product "contains bits of skin and more tomato pectin (for a homemade texture) than does Tomato Magic." If you look at the Stanislaus Nutrition Information for the three tomato products, especially the serving size weights, you will see that they are not of the same consistency, and that #10 cans of the three products will have different weights. I don't know how to advise you on which Stanislaus product to locate and use.Peter
Norma, since you have the King Arthur all-purpose flour, do you want to take a stab at coming up with the numbers using that flour instead of a generic all-purpose flour?A couple of other points about the tool. The two pull-down menus are the same and you can select the two ingredients using either sequence (but keep the A-B blocks below in order). If it so happens that the ingredients you are using are not listed in the pull-down menus, you can enter the protein values in the two % blocks below the pull-down menus (you have to select the two blocks by checking them). In some cases, one of the ingredients might be listed in a pull-down menu and the other is not. In that case, you can use a combination of pull-down menu and one of the % blocks.Peter

Bob Barry Jr. Elected into OAB Hall of Fame
The Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters is proud to announce that Bob Barry Jr. has been elected into the prestigious OAB Hall of Fame.
Starting in 1980 while at OU as a Journalism major calling high school football games, Bob's infectious enthusiasm was the hallmark of his prolific career. He joined his legendary father Bob Barry Sr. at Channel 4 in Oklahoma City, and for 35 years he forged his own way—uniquely changing the perspective on sports and the way it was reported. His rapport with athletes, university executives, coaches, and especially fans, made him the guy we all cheered for. His audience was boundless because he was universally loved by all who watched or heard him.
Bob's career was multi-dimensional due to his "switch-hitting" role as a daily reporter/anchor for both radio and television. His shows on WWLS AM/FM (The Sports Animal) were amongst their highest rated, and his nightly appearances on KFOR TV 4 gave the entire market comfort that the sports world had the perfect man reporting on the events. Bobby was Oklahoma Sports and every viewer or listener knew that if "Junior" talked about something, it was not only important but it would be interesting.
Bob was named Oklahoma Sportscaster of the Year six times, and won countless awards as the most respected sportscaster of his time. But even more impressive was the love all Oklahomans had for the Barry family and Bob's generosity and caring. Bob Barry Jr. made sports fun, and he made broadcasting a better business. Unfortunately we lost Bob to a tragic vehicular accident in June of 2015.
Bob's family will accept his Induction into the OAB Hall of Fame at our Annual Awards Dinner on Friday, April 1, at the Hard Rock Hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

An insider's view of the Connecticut dining scene
Mar 13, 2014
08:09 AMThe Connecticut Table
Mario Batali Plans New Haven Restaurant Like Tarry Lodge in Westport
Editor's note: The following is a modified version of a New Haven Register story.
Celebrity chef Mario Batali, known for his suite of restaurants and television presence, wants to open a restaurant on Park Street, near Elm Street and the Broadway district.
The 278 Park St. site was approved for a 54-seat restaurant in 2005, but it was never occupied.
The property is owned by the St. Thomas More Corp., but Yale University has a long-term lease.
Lauren Zucker, a spokesperson for Yale, said the restaurant, could open by the end of the summer, if city approvals fall into place.
She compared the proposal to Tarry Lodge, Batali's restaurant in Westport.
Batali's website describes Tarry Lodge like this:
Tarry Lodge in Westport provides a commodious environment for any gathering of friends or family. Be it a light meal at the bar, a festive celebration, or a lunch with clients and associates, you'll be at home in the handsome wood and tile dining rooms. The private dining staff works to ensure your group is treated to a meal of classic and modern Italian dishes such as fresh mozzarella with heirloom tomatoes and Tuscan oil, bucatini all'Amatriciana, and sole alla francese. And if you'd rather not leave the comforts of home, we'll deliver our wood-burning pizza to you.
Yale needs a special exception from the Board of Zoning Appeals to open a 74-seat restaurant on the site, where five additional parking spaces are needed. It has been referred to the City Plan Commission.
Joshua Cohen told the board Tuesday that there is plenty of parking on Park, Howe and Elm streets, as well as at the nearby LAZ operated parking lot at Broadway.
As the New Haven plans develop, read about another connection between Batali and Connecticut, his friend and fellow chef William Cosgrove of The Upper Crust Cucina Italiana in New Milford. Cosgrove and Batali were classmates at Rutgers University, and a few years ago, Batali invited his college friend to come and spend some time cooking with him.
In 1979, two young red-headed Rutgers University students met in the kitchen of a beer and stromboli eatery called Stuff Yer Face. Thirty years later, the same two men sat down for lunch in Manhattan as old friends and fellow chefs. Of the many friends who had started in the restaurant industry those three decades ago, only these two remained standing as veterans of Italian cuisine, the others having moved on or thrown in the kitchen towel. (Above, Cosgrove, left, serving Gov. Dannel Malloy at The Silo in New Milford in 2013.)
On one side of the table was Bill Cosgrove, head chef of The Upper Crust in New Milford. Across the table sat his old friend and colleague Mario Batali, celebrity chef and culinary emperor.
That's the opening of an LCT magazine story by The Litchfield County Times on Cosgrove's experience. Read the full story here.Mario Batali Plans New Haven Restaurant Like Tarry Lodge in Westport

DETROIT — A 42-year-old woman from North Wales sold a dress made entirely of Rainbow Loom bands in July for $290,653 (or £170,100).
Jimmy Kimmel wore a size 42R suit with patches of the same colorful rubber band pieces on his late night show in March.
Pope Francis was photographed wearing a Loom bracelet, while soccer star David Beckham and Britain's Prince William have also taken part in the new trend that has grabbed the attention of tweens across the globe.
The man behind the Loom band craze is Detroit's Cheong Choon Ng, who was a crash-test engineer for Nissan when the idea came to him in 2010.
Four years later, his vibrant creation has turned into a business that earned $44 million (£25 million) last year.
Tutorial videos of how to build items such as bracelets, hair extensions and key chains have drawn millions of views.
The idea was spurred by Ng watching his two daughters make bracelets out of small rubber bands.
When Ng attempted to join in, he found his fingers were too big. Ng quickly found a solution: adding a wooden board with push pins for easier use.
"I was putting pins on two and three and four rows, crisscrossing the rubber bands and making big bracelets," Ng told the New York Times last year. "Finally, the girls were hooked, and they began to use the board to make gifts for friends and neighbors."
A Loom kit, which consists of one Rainbow Loom, one mini Rainbow Loom, 600 mixed color rubber bands, a bag of c-clips and one yellow color hook with metal tip, sells for $14.99 on the company's website.
Ng told the New York Times that business first began to take off in the summer of 2012.
The owner of a Learning Express Toys store, a chain of 130 franchises, placed an order for 24 looms. Two days later she called to reorder and sales continued to grow, Ng said.
The lucrative business has spread overseas.
A French couple with exclusive rights to sell Rainbow Loom bands in France, Belgium and Switzerland are among those who have benefited from the world-wide craze.
Emmanuel and Morgane Laurencon of Brittany, France have earned over $1 million selling the product.
The New York Daily News reported the couple and their four children moved to Miami in 2012 and Emmanuel said he noticed his young daughter bringing bands home from school.
"Each time the family or some friends were coming from France, the girls of the same age as my daughter shut themselves in the bedroom to make bracelets for hours," Emmanuel told the Daily News.
Meanwhile, Ng still lives in his $307,382 (£235,000 house) and drives a 12-year-old car, according to Daily Mirror in the United Kingdom.
"It's a nice house, why should we move? We're not over-the-top people," Ng said. "Maybe when I retire I'll buy a boat and go fishing."

LINCOLN - Lincoln Village Council approved a $195,066 budget for its new fiscal year, which begins April 1. The new budget has an increase of about $7,000 over the previous year.
The budget anticipates an additional $8,000 in revenues from the current tax levy and $5,000 in additional taxes from the state, village Secretary Linda Somers said. But those increases will go toward offsetting other anticipated reductions in miscellaneous receipts and interest.
Among other expenses, the trustees had to budget $3,500 for professional services, because the village is due for a full blown audit, Somers said.
The village has salted away $100,000, which will go toward $113,700 in roadway and public works projects, Somers said.
Elmer's Crane and Dozer Inc., was awarded a $97,500 contract to resurface Main Street from Second Street to Barlow Road later this year. Routine maintenance is expected to cost $14,800, and winter road maintenance $8,800. The sewer fund is $11,734, which was the same as the previous year.
Trustee Mary Kossa said property taxes will be adequate to fund the 2014-15 budget, and expects $25,000 from the state. The village also receives $44,000 to provide firefighting and emergency medical response services.
Outstanding property taxes are relatively low compared to previous years, with only $11,000 past due at present, Kossa said.
Bills for February were high because of heating and fuel costs, despite conservation efforts. An insurance premium also was due, Kossa said.
Troy Somers, head of the Alcona County Equalization Department, was on hand as the trustees discussed possible fees they hope to charge for land use, moving or demolition of a structure, signs and other activities detailed in their new zoning ordinance.
The board studied fees charged by the City of Harrisville, going through each item, then deciding whether to adopt or change each. A land use permit for a $5,000 shed would cost $40; a $75,000 home would cost $130, with the largest structures capped at $1,000.
A sign, fence, patio or deck would be $25 for land use permits, and failure to obtain the proper permit would result in a penalty of $300 a day.
However, zoning hasn't been enforced in a long time and it will take a while for people to learn about the new ordinances and fees, trustees said.
"We need to print these and make sure people are aware of it," Trustee Bonny Gauthier said.

Dirks not cleared for baseball activity yet
Andy Dirks will spend at least another week in a walking boot while receiving shock wave therapy on his strained right achilles. The Tigers outfielder, who hasn't played since May 30, was examined by Tigers foot/ankle specialist Dr. Chris Zingas on Friday in Detroit.
"He's not right. He's not ready to start any baseball activities," manager Jim Leyland said. "We were hoping for that. We didn't get it."
The examination, Tigers head athletic trainer Kevin Rand, showed improvement, but still some discomfort.
"He's much improved," Rand said, "but still has point tenderness there. So he's going to continue to be in teh boot for another week and he'll also receive shock wave therapy."
The delay seemingly would push any timetable for a Dirks return past the All-Star break. While he was cleared to start running on a special treadmill, that's about the extent of his physical activity. He'll begin a more full-fledged running program once he's cleared.

Before the season , Henning mentioned him as a target for Lf,before VMart injury.Now, you too. Morosi talks about Bourjos great production . At Halos´s blog he is mentioned as a future All Star. But he is hitting 237 with 3 HRs. Yes, stas are not all , what Im missing in the picture? Beside having a great CF ´s glove
Angels need a reliever but we don't need Bourjos. I don't mind trading a reliever but I'd want more than a Bourjos type. I don't see where he makes us better.
Listening to the Rays pregame broadcast…it's "Zimbear" night in Tampa…google that to see…pretty funny. Only memory for me of Zimmer is Pedro Martinez tossing him to the ground during a melee.
Geez, I remember when Zim was a PLAYER.
"The little soldier" as coach for Bostonduring the "Greatest WS of All Times" as is known. And the losing manager of the 163th game ( the original version)
believe Zimmer coached/managed with Cubs, Red Sox, Yanks. can't imagine too many others who have done that with those iconic franchises.
Things are going to get real interesting for the Angels in the near future. Wells will be ready to come back soon and Bourjos is already the odd man out. Someone will probably have to go. It may be difficult to move Wells, given his salary.

You should eat when you're hungry.
I want to start eating only 2 meals a day. I know it's ok in the leptin reset. I usually have three, but honestly I feel better when I don't eat, so want to do it as least as possible whilst still getting all the nutrients I need. I've just been through a rough patch with food intolerance reactions and want to give my digestion a bit of a break.
What two times of the day are best to eat?
Thx in advance!

You should eat when you're hungry.
On leptin reset you need to eat within 30 minutes of waking, right? So thats mealpoint 1. You also need to eat at least 3 hours or so before going to sleep if I'm correct. 16 hours is the sweetpoint for fasting. And I think leptin resets requires at least 5 hours between meals. So that means you'll have to eat your second meal between 5 and 8 hours after breakfast .
I think you should eat when you are (truly) hungry. My non-preggers self seemed to prefer 2 meals a day - a mid-day-ish meal and evening. Basically, skip breakfast.
Heather and the hounds - Make a Fast Friend, Adopt a Greyhound!
You eat a BIG all protein breakfast 1st thing in the morning, and you eat dinner. Lunch is optional IF you are hungry.
* How big of a breakfast? Big enough so you don't want to snack before or after lunch.
* Never Ever snack between meals - it messes up your liver
* Never snack after dinner, same reason
* If you want to skip lunch, eat an even bigger breakfast.
* If you are not hungry for supper, your breakfast was too big, scale back.
Dr. Kruse suggests 50 grams of protein for breakfast as a starter. Adjust your breakfast per the above rules.
For more, see this link:
I no longer eat 50 grams of protein for breakfast, and I skip lunch every day because I am just not hungry for it.
Our two meals a day consist of a high protein "breakfast" at 10:30am and dinner at 6pm. Starting with high protein we are full all day.

Union City officials are dealing with overflowing lines at the new municipal pool at Firefighters Memorial Park, as reported by The Jersey Journal's Ron Zeitlinger in today's editions. The park, on Palisade Avenue and Ninth Street, features a brand new pool with a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline, and best of all, its free.
But it's also a Green Acres project, with $600,000 of state taxpayer money that's been earmarked for construction costs, meaning that it should be available for use by anyone in the state, a spokesman for the Green Acres program said.
Residents from other municipalities have been turned away recently and have been upset because it should be open to anyone due its Green Acres money. While the decision to bar nonresidents from the pool may violate the spirit of Green Acres projects, technically Union City can bar people for now, state spokesman Larry Hajna said, because Union City has not received the funding from the program yet.

Crows are often lambasted as filthy, noisy, thieving birds. But let me share a story.
More than a week ago, I was walking through the woods at Elmwood Park when I saw a couple of crows and a red-tailed hawk in pitched and chilling battle in the trees. My sympathies immediately went out to the hawk - aren't hawks, after all, magnificent and valiant raptors? - especially since the crows, to my surprise, were clearly getting the better of the deal, and making it very hard for the hawk to get out of the trees.
The next day, when the dog and I again headed for the woods, there was a string of crows that stretched out through the trees into a maple or two in the open park, and they began cawing in a very specific way - almost like a code - as soon as we approached. Then one or two of them tagged along above us as we walked throough the woods, clearly trying to sound an alarm, until we rounded a trail and - as the crows in the trees went nuts - found the answer to the mystery:
An injured crow, maybe 50 yards in front of us, was hopping through the woods. My instant bet was that he'd been attacked by the hawk, and that his buddies had been coming to his rescue. I quickly diverted the dog's attention to make sure he didn't see the crow, and we went the other way to leave the crow in peace.
Anyway, here's the end of the story: I was in the woods again yesterday, and damned if the crows weren't showing the same behavior. They formed a line in the trees and a few of them followed along as we walked, which to me - by this point - clearly seemed to indicate the hurt crow was still alive and well and eluding predators, somewhere in the woods.
Again, the dog and I turned around and headed the other way. The episode left me thinking about how I'd thought of crows only a few weeks ago as dirty, lousy scavengers - and had then seen them behave like ferociously dedicated, smart and selfless birds willing to fight against a hawk and then stand endless guard to defend one of their own.
There's a lesson in there somewhere, in an awful lot of ways.

FLINT, MI -- Gary Nagy Jr. wants justice.
He wants the people responsible for killing his 57-year-old father -- whom police say was stomped to death and tortured -- put behind bars forever.
"If we had the death penalty, I'd wish that upon them," Nagy Jr. said. "We don't unfortunately, so I think they should get life without parole."
Police have arrested 20-year-old Peris Dorsette and he has been charged with felony murder and torture. Police charge that Dorsette kicked and stomped the homeless man to death because Doresette felt "disrespected."
Nagy. Jr. said he thinks the killing of an innocent man should be more public.
"I want justice. I think it should be more public than it is," he said.
Nagy's lifeless body was found at McKinley Middle School around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 30, underneath a broken off dumpster lid.
It's been heartbreaking for the family, Nagy Jr. said, which for years has struggled with Nagy's decision to be homeless.
They would worry about him, try to talk him out of a life on the street. They would try to convince him to find rehab programs or shelter or to look for work.
He simply wasn't interested.
He battled alcoholism, his son said, but never showed a desire to get clean.
He didn't hurt people, he didn't beg, said Nagy. Jr.
"He liked being homeless, as weird as that sounds," he said. "That was him. He was content with the way he lived."
Nagy went to Bendle High School where he graduated in the 1970s. A yearbook photo says he was "a friend to all who know him."
After high school, he went on to join the Army where he served in Korea, a friend said. When he returned home, he worked Fisher Body plant for several years before it closed in 1987. He did odd jobs and eventually became homeless.
He was one of the founders of the so-called "Tent City" an area near a former GM site where a group of homeless people lived.
Nagy Jr. said he and his sister are planning a funeral for their father, who will be cremated.
Nagy. Jr. said they will split the ashes three ways: him, his sister and Nagy's nephew Scott Greer.
He's been looking at prices for urns. His father had no money to leave the family, so the son's considering a simple urn, something small, maybe around $40.
He doesn't have much from his father, all that was on his person when he was killed was his Michigan ID and a bracelet from a local church.
Nagy Jr. does have one keepsake from his father, a memento that he'll put his father's urn in.
"It might sound stupid, but I have a Budweiser cup that my dad gave me," Nagy Jr. said.
He'll put the urn in the Budweiser cup, put it on the mantle or something.
"That's just the best way that I knew him, as stupid as that sounds."

Freedom of the Press?Permalink +
Mon, Mar 31, 2003, 9:10 pm // John ServaisOur right to learn from different points of view what is happening? That is typically thrown out the window in war time and Americans are fed the official 'rah rah we are winning and they are sneaky immoral bastards' line of news. No big surprise. What continues to baffle me is how supposedly educated citizens can go blind in time of war and believe what our American corporate media feeds them.
For over a week now, the Al-Jazeera web site has been blocked by what experts call a very impressive attack to deny Americans the ability to read their reporting. Is Al-Jazeera to be trusted over American media or will they just report the Arab viewpoint? Well, that is for us citizens to decide. Not for our government to decide. That is the whole point of a free press. But our war-monger fellow citizens get steamed when any reports run contrary to the official Pentagon and Rumsfield party line. By searching the Internet web sites one can find snipets of Al-Jazeera news which is most interesting.
This web site will try to not predict a long war. Others are doing this. What is interesting is our news reports for a week now have each day said we are advancing on Baghdad. Yet if you look at a war map in the newspaper from over a week ago you will see we have not moved forward an inch. Still south of Karbala -where we were on Saturday, March 22. The foreign web sites have better reporting. For war support purposes we get rosy pictures. Our press did not tell you about the Iraqis who have fed our Marines who are without food and water up near Al Kut. Supply lines are in trouble.
The big question - what is the purpose of this war? Well, check out "Practice to Deceive" in the Washington Monthly. The invasion of Iraq is the opening of an extended war against Islam by the US. We are reaching for Empire. And the defeat of Islamic governments. Next? Syria and Iran. Already Rumsfield is threatening them.
In the post Friday, I remarked how not reporting wounded American soldiers tends to "cheapen" the war. This apparently needs explanation. If our press makes the war seem to be without the full number of casualties then we think the war is easy and cheap - cheap in American soldiers injured. Those wounded deserve to be honored and counted. Casualty reports should include wounded as well as dead. Many wounded are crippled for life. To not even report their injuries while reporting dead is to insult their sacrifice.
The first need for citizens of a free country is to be informed. Else, your opinions and actions are based on false information. You need to search the Internet to learn what is happening. It can take time. And we need our government to allow a free press and not work to block our learning the truth. We are the judges of the truth - not our government. We may make mistakes but that is part of our right as citizens. This web site is about our right to know what is happening.
My opinions are secondary and are posted because this is my web site. It is called a 'blog'. We need more in Bellingham. Please inform me of any others and I'll link to them. I intend to list links dealing with the depleted uranium issue. From what I've been able to learn, the danger is real.

RARITAN TWP. — The gun-control resolution that failed to get a place on the Flemington Borough Council agenda last week has a toe-hold on the Raritan Township Committee's agenda for its meeting tomorrow, Feb. 19.
Under "new business," the agenda lists "support for President Obama's gun control initiatives."
The resolution, sponsored by a national group called Mayors Against Illegal Guns, calls upon Congress and the president to enact legislation aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, keeping military-style weapons out of civilian hands and making gun trafficking a federal crime.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns is billed as a bipartisan group, but at last report, all but one of the Hunterdon mayors who have joined it are Democrats. The Democratic mayors are from Lambertville, Clinton, Frenchtown and Milford. The Republican mayor is Julia Allen of Readington. All the members of the Raritan Township Committee are Republicans.
At the Feb. 5 Township Committee meeting, township resident Mike Cleckner asked the committee to consider the resolution. Mayor Michael Mangin said, "Part of me says it's a state issue," but he said Cleckner's request would be reviewed and the matter would be put on the agenda.
Later, another township resident, Marianne Rampulla, an organizer of a group called Hunterdon United for Gun Safety, wrote to the committee members urging them to support the resolution. She said she has also "talked with most of the committee members. I didn't get any commitments, but they were kind enough to put it on the agenda."
This Hunterdon group is only a couple of weeks old; the shootings in Newtown, Conn., were the catalyst that created it, Rampulla said. "It's just some like-minded people that decided that instead of sitting on the sidelines, we wanted to organize and bring our point of view to the conversation." Anyone interested in joining may write to email@example.com.
They started with making a Facebook page, Rampulla said, and within 24 hours, it had scored 83 "likes," which means 83 people had expressed support. The group is still in its organizational phase, but Rampulla and some other members are expected to address the Township Committee tomorrow.
Mike Pohle, a township resident whose son died in the 2007 shootings at Virginia Tech, has been invited to come to the meeting.
In Flemington, this resolution was championed by Councilman Joey Novick. But the mayor, Erica Edwards, wouldn't put it on the agenda, saying national gun control is not borough business. At the Feb. 11 meeting, a motion to amend the agenda to include consideration of the resolution failed by a 4-2 vote, Republicans defeating the Democrats.
The Raritan Township Committee will meet at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 19, in the Municipal Building, which is off Route 12's Dvoor Circle.

As the voices of hundreds of Acadia fans that made the trek from Wolfville to the Halifax Forum rose to a deafening roar, Michael Clarke dealt the knockout blow to Saint Mary's.
Firing into the Huskies empty net with just under a minute left in the third period, Clarke widened the margin to 3-1 for Acadia as the Axemen claimed the AUS championship in four games.
"I'm so happy for the guys," said tournament MVP Liam Heelis, as the Axemen celebrated their victory, taking turns hefting the AUS Men's Hockey Cup over their heads.
"I'm just so proud of the guys and as I watch them now I can say they deserve every moment of this."
Heelis – who netted five goals and six assists in Acadia's eight playoff games - made his way around a Huskie defender tight against the boards and fed Dustin Ekelman in the slot to help get Acadia on the board with just over two minutes to go in the first period.
Ekelman's power play goal – his fourth of the playoffs – saw the graduating Acadia player move around a sprawling Huskie and slide a shot between Anthony Peters' legs.
Steven Shipley responded for Saint Mary's seven minutes into the second period, but it was Travis Randell's unassisted goal, at just over five minutes left in the second period, that became the eventual game winner.

- Host Saskatchewan Huskies eliminate Axemen at CIS championships
- UPDATE Acadia loses first game at CIS University Cup
- Want to watch the Axemen at the CIS University Cup? Here's how
Acadia goalie Evan Mosher – who spent much of the season as Acadia's backup - stopped 28 shots and was named Acadia's player of the game.
He was quick to dish out credit to an opponent who arrived into the playoffs as the fifth seed, but managed to knock off the defending national champion New Brunswick Varsity Reds en route to the final.
"Everyone sees how tough they are to play against," said Mosher. "They had a rough start but they eventually became the team everyone knew they could be."
Acadia was forced to play game four after Saint Mary's fought to stay alive March 9 with a 2-1 victory. Saint Mary's took an early lead in that game – the first time Acadia did not lead in the series – with a goal in the first and second periods. Although Clarke was able to score with just over three minutes remaining on the clock in the third, it was too little, too late for Acadia.
The physical match saw Acadia's Geoff Schemitsch escorted off the ice following a hit to the head. Head coach Darren Burns confirmed later that Schemitsch, who was unable to return to the game, was out due to a concussion.
The March 10 win represents Acadia's ninth AUS championship, the first since the 2005-2006 season.
The 3-1 victory allowed Acadia to punch its ticket to the CIS National Championships, which will run from March 20-23. Winning both the semifinal and final series in four games each puts the Axemen in the number two ranking going into the tournament and the team will be hoping for the same seeding.
Other teams already assured a spot at nationals include McGill, Windsor and Alberta, with other entrants to be decided in the coming days. The host Saskatchewan Huskies will also play in the championship tournament.

They Found Me
Quote of the Day: "Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable."
- H. L. Mencken
Today I kept running into people.
First, there was SSGT Tallman who was the Drill Instructor for Carrie's platoon during the Jane Wayne Day last year.
I also ran into him back in April at an appreciation dinner.
I like this guy and thought he did an incredible job that day last year. It all respects, he was a perfect representation of a DI and played his role to a tee. It's still strange to talk to him when he is "normal" and realize the difference from the every day Marine, father, husband…and the rabid, veiny-necked DI screaming and creating an environment of stress.
He told me that he is getting moved to Pendleton and will likely deploy soon. He is a husband and a father so in that respect, I felt for his family but he is also a Marine and one that's coming off DI duty.
Watch out, Iraq.
At lunch, I was wandering around the Depot and ran into two civilians that I worked with when I was back in Virginia. I had been the project manager for the TECOM Integrated Management System (TIMS) and now it's called "MCTIMS."
The two civilians work for the contractors that keep the system running for the Marine Corps and were out here to teach some classes. It had been over a year since I saw them and we played catch-up with who was still working there, who got fired, and the changes in the system.
In the end, it was good to catch up but it only reinforced my happiness that I'm not there anymore.
The whole "getting fired" and "quitting" thing is strange to me because being a Marine so long, that doesn't really happen. We get moved, restationed, and yes, sometime relieved but we can't just say "eff this, I quit" and you don't get called into the bosses office and let go. You just have to deal with the sub-performers until the Marine Corps decides they should move you or him.
In the afternoon, I met up with Jeanie and visited the on-base Starbucks for the first time. She was out here to see her some come home from deployment and swung by the Depot to have some coffee with me.
(This is actually Jeanie and Alex. Didn't want you people to get confused…)
It was strange to be in a Starbucks on the Depot. Yes, it's slow. Yes, it's expensive. But it IS a Starbucks after all so all was good.
And great company too.

Theatre Arts 477, 4 credits Office: TA 131
Capstone: 20th Century Theatre Telephone: ext. 3416
Office Hours: M, W—2:45-4 p.m. TH: 1-4 p.m.
Other times by appointment
"Finally, I should like to discuss what to me is
the most interesting part of the job, the blending of intuition with technique.
It is my experience that all the best ideas in art just arrive, and it is
absolutely no good concentrating on them and hoping for the best…and yet I
think no artist worth his salt will feel he can rely on inspiration.
Inspiration must be backed up by a very cast-iron technique."
--Tyrone Guthrie
This class is the capstone course for the Theatre Arts major and minor. The course should actively engage the student in all of the department learning objectives of Theatre as an Art Form, the Creative Process, and Theatre Craft Compentencies.

how adults can save children's lives [1]
Submitted by Alice Ackerman M.D. on
We are over half-way through August--"vaccine awareness month" and you are probably tired of hearing me preach about the value of immunization.
This has been a rather eye-opening month for me, as through my Twitter activity I have come to know a number of health care providers, social media enthusiasts and educators who are all invested in improving the rate of vaccination in the population.
These are folks who see immunization as a way to improve population health and protect the health of our most vulnerable citizens--young infants, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. They are not necessarily doctors who prescribe immunizations. In fact, none of the "tweeps" I have been engaging with the most are pediatricians or family practitioners. They have NO ulterior motives for advocating in favor of immunizing children and adults.
I have come to understand that many parents and other adults have a major distrust of the medical profession when we urge or prescribe vaccines. Perhaps we do not do a good enough job of informing you of WHY we are planning to immunize your child, or WHY getting grandmother and dad immunized against pertussis (whooping cough) could save your newborn baby's life.
Communication is the key to all good medical care, especially what is called "anticipatory guidance" and the more I hear from parents, the more I recognize we are not doing a particularly good job of communcating around the subject of immunizations.
A recent piece in USnews.com [2] explains the benefit to our infants of adult immunization. And this well-researched paper [3] describes the history of anti-vaccine movements.
A couple of posts ago, I wrote a piece [4] about one of my earliest and most beloved mentors, the late David H. Smith, MD. What may not have been clear from the title was the connection this piece has to immunizations.
In that post, I describe my personal involvement with vaccine development.
There was no fame, and certainly no fortune that came to me because of the work I did with others in the quest to eradicate the specific disease. But every day that goes by when I DO NOT see an infant or child in the hospital or ICU with invasive Hemophilus type b ( Hib) disease I am grateful to have had the opportunity to serve society and make YOUR CHILD's life better.
Some folks (this is prevalent amongst the antivaxxer communities) believe that pharmaceutical companies make a fortune from immunizations and THAT is why they push docs to push them on our children. Have you ever wondered why you almost never see an advertisement for vaccines on the TV? You see ads for viagra and related drugs, for antidepressants (every new one is better than the one before) but the only vaccine ads you see on TV are those produced by non-profits or health departments and presented as public service announcements. Pharmaceutical companies would prefer to sell antibiotics and other drugs that you have to take daily. They really get very little compensation for vaccine development, and yet they have high liability and must do a lot of work to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of their vaccines.
Think about it.
We need your help.
What do you think is the BEST approach we could take to helping parents understand the issues involved in making the decision whether or not to have their children immunized, and the benefits of immunizing older adults against pertussis to help protect the youngest generation as well as themselves?
One suggestion is that we (Carilion Clinic Children's Hospital) could hold a series of regional "Town Halls" with families, so you could ask your vaccine questions of experts. Would this be effective? Would anyone come to such an offering? If this is useful, what other topics might be of interest for future events?
Please leave your comments or questions below. I value input from parents, health care workers, public health supporters, every day people and even anti-vaccine advocates. All of you. Feel free. Lets get the conversation going.
Here are some links to prior posts on immunizations (mostly regarding influenza) you might want to peruse: get your flu shot [5], another word on flu vaccines [6], another reason to get a flu shot [7]. Also this CDC page [8] has many links related to adult vaccine schedules you might want to explore.

Pocket App Updated For Nexus Launch, Smoother And Faster
Pocket is a wonderful app for those who spend a lot of time on their phone. It lets you save pages to a list to view later (which explains the former name of Read It Later). Then that list can be accessed from any device, be it a smartphone, a tablet, or a computer.
Now the app has gotten an update inspired by the Nexus event. It's focused on performance, improving the speed, responsiveness, and fluidity. Coupled with the already well designed UI following the Holo style, this app just got a lot better. When fluidity and design is what Google is focusing on with Android, seeing app developers follow suit is good. This is the kind of dedication we need to get a beautiful and fluid app catalog for Android.
They also fixed some issues with ASUS tablets, fixed a variety of bugs, and added the ability to edit tags while reading. All in all a good update. Who here uses Pocket? Are you happy about the update? Tell us in the comments and grab the update from the source link!

Today I stumbled on a a site shared by CC Chapman of a photographer he likes. I thought the shot he highlighted was nice. Could have been Virginia, but it was Texas.
Seeing that shot reminded me that I don't have any beauty in my blog reader. Google feeds me words, lots of words.
So in a fit of sublime intervention, the name of a photographer we worked with a lot at the agency in Virginia popped into my head. Hadn't thought of him in 7-8 years. But there he was: Keith Lanpher, and there was his photo blog.
Thinking of Virginia photographers, I couldn't leave out a friend, Frank Morgan, whose work I see every day because it graces a wall in my home. Although he doesn't have a blog. I'll have to get on him about that. The following is not the shot I have but you get the idea.
Great. Mission accomplished: beauty in my blog reader! Thanks, CC, Keith, and Frank.
If you enjoyed these shots each one links back out to the photographer's site.

FLINT, MI – Beecher's two-time state champion Emmanuel Phifer will take his basketball talents elsewhere this season.
Phifer, 17, has decided to finish his high school career at the newly launched Elite Preparatory Academy in Clemmons, N.C., instead of helping the Buccaneers shoot for a three-peat. Nothing against Beecher, but Phifer, a.k.a. "Boo-D," says he is searching for better competition.
He said he hopes the move will put him in a better position to receive college offers. Although Phifer has played a major role in Beecher's back-to-back Class C state titles, he has yet to receive any scholarship offers from any programs for his exploits.
"People in the community will probably think I should've stayed at Beecher because they're looking at Beecher winning championships," said Phifer, Beecher's second leading scorer last season. "I have nothing against Beecher, but sometimes you have to make the best choice for your future and we might win the state championship but it still might not help me get into school. So, I'm just looking at it like I'm trying to get into school."
Phifer averaged 11.1 points as a junior on Beecher's team in the 2012-13 season. He played one of his best games against the Class A No. 1 team in the state Detroit Pershing, scoring a career-high 24 points against the Doughboys at the Warren Fitzgerald Freedom Classic in Warren on Saturday, Jan. 19, in front of a sellout crowd.
Bucs coach Mike Williams wasn't involved in Phifer's decision to leave and learned the news Monday, July 29, this morning from the media. Williams had no clue that Phifer would leave the program but said he overheard rumors of Boo-D taking the prep school route from others in the community and never took it seriously.
"It may be a good move for him but I don't know. I don't know who sent him in that direction but I hope the best for him," Williams said. "I don't know much about it. It's nothing that he discussed with me. I think when it's all said and done we will still end up being Beecher and he's got to do what's best for him. We will still be Beecher."
Phifer credits Williams and Beecher's Mr. Basketball winner Monte Morris for helping his game grow. They both helped him mature on and off the court in his two years with the program. Phifer played his first year at Flint Northern and initially thought he would complete his senior year at Beecher.
"I just want to thank Coach Mike for everything because he helped me out a lot," Phifer said. "The Beecher community took me in and supported me a lot. I love Beecher."
Phifer is the second standout basketball player to leave the Flint area this offseason.
Flint Southwestern Academy sophomore-to-be Miles Bridges also decided to transfer out of the city to play at Huntington Prep. Other Flint-area players like JaVontae Hawkins, Anton Wilson, Richie Lewis, Kyle Kuzma and Anthony Crater have made similar moves in recent years in search of better competition.
Elite Preparatory Academy coach Marlon Brim feels for the local coaches who lose top players to prep schools but is still excited to add the swingman to his program in its inaugural season.
"I think it's a better fit for basketball players because they get to play better competition," Brim said of attending prep schools. "Not saying that local high school basketball is not good, but when you go to a prep school you can just train and work on academics and then you can play the top teams on a yearly basis and that makes a big difference when you're competing for scholarships."
Eight players have now committed to Brim's new program. He is in the process of scheduling 30-34 games this season against nationally ranked basketball powerhouses like Oak Hill, Quality Education and Evelyn Mack Academies in its first year of existence.
Phifer is expected to arrive on campus in late August.
"You want guys like Emmanuel who can come in and work hard and I just love his game all the way around," Brim said. "I think he can pick up some offers, but no coach can promise a kid any scholarships. It's up to the kid to work hard. I think he can get some scholarships and we're going to push him to the highest level and go from there."

Environmental activist and author Diane Wilson will be Thorne Dreyer's guest on Rag Radio, Friday, June 24, 2011, 2-3 p.m. (CDT) on Austin's community radio station, KOOP-91.7 FM, and streamed live on the internet. Diane will also speak about her book, Diary of an Eco-Outlaw, at Book People [3], 603 N. Lamar in Austin, Thursday, June 23, at 7 p.m. and will appear at the Texas Louisiana Gulf Coast Shindig & Soiree at Pine Street Station, 1101 E. 5th Street, Austin, from 4-7 p.m., Saturday, June 25.Legendary Texas journalist Molly Ivins once joked about rebel-rouser-activist Jim Hightower: "If Will Rogers and Mother Jones had a baby, Jim Hightower would be that child — mad as hell, with a sense of humor." Well, Hightower has a protest soul sister, the inventive, congenial, yet fierce "eco-outlaw" named Diane Wilson. Unlike armchair activists and witty journalists, this champion takes risks, gets bloodied and arrested, and endures jail — then turns her adventures into good-hearted, epic tales reminiscent of Mark Twain. And what progressive battles need, more than ever, are inspiring protest leaders — and crowds in the street. Otherwise, we fail to learn from the insipid, conspiracy-ridden, if effective escapades of the Tea Party. One hard-won lesson I take from this hell-raising muckraker from Seadrift, Texa, is that petitions, donations, columns, and news interviews are nice but don't save lives, jobs, America, or Mother Earth. Diane was featured in a terrific PBS documentary called Texas Gold, voiced by Peter Coyote, and, with Coyote, produced a hilarious satirical commercial for the film — about bottled Gulf water you get to drink once. Wilso was interviewed on Amy Goodman's Democracy Now!, and performs daring CodePink disruptions. [Wilson was, in fact, a founding member of CodePink, the theatrical direct-action peace group.] Diane has also penned two inspiring protest memoirs — real-life, laugh-out-loud, unflinching stories reliving what happens when a terrific activist puts her liberty on the line. This woman walks the line, until she gets forcibly removed. Her two full titles alone justify the price of admission:
- An Unreasonable Woman, the True Story of Shrimpers, Politicos, Polluters, and the Fight for Seadrift, Texas [4]
- Diary of an Eco-Outlaw, An Unreasonable Woman Breaks the Law for Mother Earth [2]

Celtic FC's Chief Executive Peter Lawwell is looking forward to making great returns in his side's Champions League showing.
Ladwell hopes to use the income from the tournament (estimated to be in the region of 30 million pounds-approx. KSh3.3 billion) to boost the team's bid to retain instrumental players Gary Hooper and Victor Wanyama.
Wanyama is one of primary targets of English Premier League side Manchester United, ahead of the January transfer window, while Hooper is in the radar of Juventus among other teams.
However, Lawwell says that he is not concerned about Wanyama's exit as much as he is of Hooper's, noting that Wanyama still has a contract to run-out.
-Victor still has two-and-a-half years to go, so we are more relaxed on that than we are with Gary. But we are relaxed with both - we still have them for a period of time, Lawwell told the Daily Mail.
Celtic will be playing Juventus in their next Champions League match, slated for Saturday 2 February 2013.

Wolverines take it to 'Hounds
LISBON FALLS — The fast-starting Wiscasset High School boys basketball team charged out to a 10- 0 lead and kept the pedal down in a dominating 86-33 victory over rival Lisbon in Mountain Valley Conference play on Tuesday.
The victory, the third straight for the 5-5 Wolverines, came with a price as third- quarter lower leg injuries to standout guard Devin Grover and his backup Ben Sutter had coach Dana Lawrence shaking his head after an otherwise solid night of basketball from his squad.
"Devin heard a pop, and we didn't want to take any unnecessary chances," said Lawrence of Grover, who was removed from the court on a stretcher and taken to a hospital with 4:58 remaining in the quarter.
Just three minutes later, Sutter came crashing down after a hard collision under the basket, grabbing his right leg and forcing another visit from an ambulance crew. "I don't think Devin's (injury) is as bad, but Ben I'm afraid is worse. It is a tough way to end the night."
"This game was like a prize fight, where they just punched us right in the face, hit us first and before we knew it we're down 10 to zip," said Lisbon (1-9) coach Eric Hall, whose team had an eight-day layoff. "We were out of our routine, and we just didn't play well tonight."
Wiscasset hit its first four shots, including a 3-pointer each from Austin Haskell and Jordan Jones in the game's first minute. A Lisbon timeout did little to stop the Wolverines, who shot 61 percent ( 11 of 18) in the quarter for a 27- 10 lead. Caleb Bryant had 10 firstquarter points for Wiscasset, with Grover and Haskell chipping in five each.
Brad Groh came off the Lisbon bench to account for six of his team's first-quarter points.
The second frame was more of the same, as Wiscasset extended its lead to 29 points, 45-16 before heading to the break on top 47-22.
"Starting strong was very important for us because we needed this win, especially with a tough schedule coming up," said Bryant, whose team will host Winthrop on Friday and the Greyhounds on Saturday before playing host to undefeated and twotime defending Western C champ Dirigo on Monday. "All-around, we are playing much better and have grown into a solid unit."
Another strong half
Wiscasset outscored Lisbon 19- 6 in the long third quarter for a 66- 28 lead as Jones drained a pair of treys, and Bryant and Haskell added four more points apiece.
The 'Hounds managed just five fourth- quarter points while allowing 20.
" Early in the season, we lost two or three games to good teams where we only played well for a quarter, but we have stayed focused and are taking good care of the ball," said Lawrence. "We are executing well on defense and playing solid throughout four quarters. That is what we have to do to have success." Bryant led the Wolverines with 22 points, with Travis Padilla (14 points), Haskell ( 13) and Jones ( 11) joining Bryant in double figures. Grover chipped in eight points before departing, while Jason Weatherbee had six points and eight rebounds. Padilla pulled down a teamhigh 11 caroms as Wiscasset held a dominating 43- 24 rebounding edge. Haskell picked up six steals and Jones dished out four assists.
Wiscasset shot 42 percent (31 of 73) and forced 25 Lisbon turnovers. The Wolverines finished 19 of 30 at the foul line.
Jacob Bremmer and Groh led Lisbon with nine points each. Groh pulled down eight rebounds and blocked three shots, while Bremmer grabbed six rebounds. Lisbon was 13 of 47 (27 percent) from the field and six of 13 at the charity stripe.
The Greyhounds are scheduled to host Hall- Dale on Thursday.

FENTON, MI – The Fenton Downtown Development Authority is looking at adding more than 50 parking spaces downtown this fall.
At tonight's meeting the DDA approved spending $9,000 for its engineers and landscape architect to begin preparation to expand one parking lot and build a new parking lot before the downtown's streetscape project begins next year.
"We want this to be done by winter," said DDA Director Michael Burns.
The DDA had previously discussed expanding the city parking lot next to the Fenton Museum and are looking at putting in a parking lot at Fenton Square, near the proposed Cornerstone building.
The total cost for the two projects is estimated at $193,823 – the museum parking lot costing $33,990 and the Fenton Square parking lot at $142,213.
Together the two projects would add about 56 spaces – 50 in the Fenton Square space and about six more parking lots added to the museum parking lot.
A few DDA members voiced concern that the expansion of the museum parking lot may not be worth the price tag.
Burns said the DDA is considering the projects, but after more work is done the DDA may decide not to go forward with it.
"We have to find different ways to address parking concerns," he said.
The proposed projects will go before the Fenton City Council for approval.

ALFRED - Alfred State ranks seventh among top public schools/regional colleges (North) according to the 2013 U.S. News & World Report's Best Colleges report for the second year in a row.
Additionally, Alfred State ranked 23rd on the list of top regional colleges in the North, up from the 25th spot last year. Alfred State was also included in the rankings of those colleges with the highest average freshman retention rate, coming in at 74 percent. These figures represent a gain over previous year's rankings.
U.S. News & World Report's annual ranking studies more than 1,600 schools nationwide and is the most trusted and comprehensive research tool students and parents look to when considering higher education choices.
Dr. John M. Anderson, Alfred State president, attributes the top ranking and Alfred State's increased ranking on the list to the compelling relevancy Alfred's project-based learning has on students and employers alike.
"The way we approach project-based learning is unique to us in many ways which is why it has become a cornerstone of our culture," said Anderson. "Our focus is on teaching students how to think - not what to think - and that is something that resonates extremely well with employers. In fact, it is the reason why we are able to boast a 99 percent employment and transfer rate."
The category of 'top public schools' refers to public colleges and universities from small liberal arts colleges to large research institutions. The 'regional colleges' category on the report encompasses schools that focus almost exclusively on the undergraduate experience while offering a broad range of programs in the liberal arts and in fields such as business, nursing, and education.
Alfred State is a member of the technology college sector within the SUNY system. The College offers 52 associate degree programs, 20 baccalaureate degree programs, and three certificate programs in addition to an array of online programs.

Wind Farms ???

My guess would be there is virtually no effect.
Look at the separation between the wind turbines in the wind field.
At what one of those units cost, I'm pretty sure that they place them so
the upwind turbine does not negatively effect any turbines downwind.
So, the distance between them is probably greater than some calculated or
actually physically tested distance at which the upwind turbine affects the
efficiency and output of the downwind turbines.
You could do your own test...... take a hand held wind meter and a GPS (for elevation/
altitude) and take some readings upwind a mile and downwind a mile as see if there is any measureable difference.
If the turbines are on the top of a hill (which they often are) and your sailing site is lower, I fail to see how there could be any effect at all.
One of the windiest spots in the USA (Cabezon Pass (The Ponds near Palm Springs)
had us windsurfing on small narrow "Perk ponds" right in the middle of a wind farm.
Didn't see any effect there, and that was when "wind farming" in the USA was very much in it's infancy.
