Journalists, Bloggers Share in Benefits of Overthrow
The world will not soon forget the scene in Cairo's central Tahrir Square on Friday, the day that President Hosni Mubarak announced he was stepping down from his 30-year rule after 18 days of protests.
"This is what freedom looks like," NBC's Ron Allen shouted from the square, surrounded by celebrants. "This is the moment so many people in this country have waited for. . . . People cannot contain themselves."
An anchor asked Allen whether he saw parallels with the U.S. civil rights movement. "This is so profound in so many ways, it's hard to compare historical movements," Allen demurred.
As with the civil rights movement, though, the beneficiaries of Egypt's historical movement included journalists and other communicators.
"Dear Mubarak, if it took destroying my car and me getting beaten up for you to leave, it was WORTH IT!" tweeted Mahmoud Salem, an Egyptian digital media businessman and a graduate of Northeastern University in Boston who goes by the name Sandmonkey.
"Egyptian journalists who have courageously found ways to work under the yoke of Mubarak's censorship and repression are releasing a sigh of relief that they've held in for three long decades," Mohamed Abdel Dayem of the Committee to Protect Journalists wrote.
"Over the past couple of hours, journalists, foreign and local, are finally able to take out their cameras and notepads and report freely.
"I just received confirmation that Karim Amer, a blogger and longtime critic of Mubarak who was seized by state agents on Monday, was just released from custody. Amer had recently served a four-year prison term for his writing. That means that all detained journalists whom CPJ had been tracking over the past 18 days are now free.
"Here's one of the most moving things I heard today: I was talking to a friend who was demonstrating outside the headquarters of the state broadcaster. In his immediate vicinity was a journalist who, in an effort not to stand out, was discreetly using a small flip-camera to film the scene and a small notepad to take notes. As the official announcement was made that Mubarak had stepped down, the crowd roared in approval.
"Almost immediately, my friend relayed, a military officer went up to the reporter and handed him a professional camera with a massive lens. The officer said: 'We were made to confiscate this camera from a journalist the other day. We had no choice. I don't even know who that guy was and there is no way to track him. You're a journalist; you'll make good use of it. Take it and document the people's revolution.' "

Sunday Talk Shows Will Look Like the Same-Old Same-Old
Despite the corner of the world in which the Egyptian uprising took place and the historical significance of the event, the Sunday talk shows on American television will feature minimal voices from people of color or from the Middle East, judging from the schedules released by the networks on Friday.
The announcement for NBC's "Meet the Press," reads, "What the Revolution in Egypt means for the U.S.," but the main guest is the very un-Egyptian House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. The roundtable discusses "What will the battle over the budget bring? How will the new members of Congress that rode the wave of Tea Party anger to Washington navigate tough votes ahead like raising the country's debt ceiling? And what do the tough budget choices in Washington mean for the nation's big cities?
"Also, insights and analysis on all the Republican positioning in the 2012 race for the White House as conservatives gather for the annual CPAC conference in Washington. Plus the very latest developments in Egypt and what it all means for U.S. policy in the region. Our roundtable: The mayor of Atlanta, Kasim Reed (D); freshman member of congress supported by the Tea Party, Rep. Bobby Schilling (R-IL); former Clinton White House press secretary, Dee Dee Myers; columnist for the New York Times, David Brooks; and Time Magazine's Mark Halperin." Reed is African American.
The show is the first produced under new Washington bureau chief Antoine Sanfuentes.
ABC's "Nightline" plans an hour Friday on Egypt, but Sunday's "This Week With Christiane Amanpour" features no people of color, although Democratic strategist Donna Brazile is frequently on the program. The usual suspects return.
"Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former Governor of Minnesota Tim Pawlenty sit down with Ms. Amanpour to discuss what the revolution in Egypt means for America's place in the world, how they view the Obama administration's response to the uprising, and what they would have done differently," an announcement says.
"On the roundtable: Robert Kagan of the Brookings Institution, Arianna Huffington of The Huffington Post, ABC News' Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper, and ABC News' George Will discuss the Egyptian revolution, the role of social media and what Egypt means for the rest of the middle east."
CNN's "State of the Union" with Candy Crowley plans to discuss the "Revolution in Egypt" with John Negroponte, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and Edward Walker, former U.S. ambassador to Egypt.
[A CNN spokeswoman said Sunday that the hour-long "Fareed Zakaria GPS Live," which airs Sunday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Eastern, will include actual Egyptians: Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, former director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and Sameh Shoukry, Egyptian ambassador to the United States.
[CBS changed its "Face the Nation" lineup to include ElBaradei and Shoukry, as well as Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Egyptian Nobel laureate and activist Ahmed Zewail.]
"Fox News Sunday" plans to feature Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., chairman of the House Budget Committee and Republican Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi.
Only on the two black-oriented Sunday news shows will there be a critical mass of people of color. But because "Weekly With Ed Gordon" on BET and "Washington Watch With Roland Martin" on TV One are taped in advance, those shows had little time to reflect on Mubarak's Friday resignation.
Sunday night's "Weekly with Ed Gordon" will feature HIV/AIDS Activist Hydeia Broadbent, journalist Tamron Hall, musician David [Minott] and former politician Michael Steele," a publicist said. The topics include "The complex friendships between the US and countries like Egypt, Haiti, Tunisia, etc."
"Washington Watch," which will air during the church hour, fared better.
Jay Feldman, the show's executive producer, said this by e-mail:
"We are running a clip from President Obama's speech today after President Mubarak resigned. We talked with Smokey Fontaine of Newsone.com about the role of Google Executive Wael Ghonim and the role Facebook and Twitter have had on this revolution and on revolutions to come. Our panel also spent some time talking about the parallels between the movement in Egypt and the Civil Rights movement in the U.S. and the wide impact of Dr. Martin Luther King all around the world. Finally, Roland's perspective is offering up the lesson of what people can do when they get together and persist in fighting for something they believe in."
Evaluating participation by journalists of color in the Egypt story, Miami Herald World Editor John Yearwood, co-chairman of the World Affairs Task Force for the National Association of Black Journalists, had this e-mailed observation:
"It was good to see a few of our members in the coverage mix, Hannah Allam of McClatchy and Ron Allen of NBC News, to name a couple. But this and other big international stories show clearly that journalists of color aren't often enough assigned to the big international stories. That's why we spend so much time on the World Affairs Task Force giving members practical experience working overseas. We want our members to be ready for the next big opportunity. But it's not just on our members. Editors have a responsibility to ensure that coverage teams are diverse. It goes without saying that you get much richer coverage that way."
In a discussion on public radio's "Latino USA," June Cross, who teaches at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, explained the difference it might make with an African American viewing the events. "When I see those pictures, I see my uncles and my cousins," Cross said, "and that makes me respond to the whole thing differently. I don't see them as 'the other.' . . . When I go to Washington Heights," a diverse section of New York, "I'd find different kinds of things. I would see if from the inside out instead of the outside in." [Updated Feb. 13]

Viewers See Police Killing of 19-Year-Old Bank Robber
Viewers watching live coverage of a three-hour standoff between police and a suspected bank robber Thursday evening saw police shoot and kill Devon Mitchell, 19, when one of the stations accidentally replayed a video showing Mitchell hit with gunfire as he led a hostage from the bank.
The incident took place in the booming Raleigh, N.C., suburb of Cary, and was played out live on television during the dinner hour.
WRAL showed footage of the suspect leading a woman from the Wachovia bank and holding a gun to her head, and then cut away before the man was shot dead by police," Brooke Cain reported Friday in the News & Observer.
"WTVD cut away from the scene too, but when they returned, they say they accidentally showed a replay that included footage of the suspect being shot. On subsequent replays, footage of the man being shot was not shown.
"WTVD news director Rob Elmore says showing the video was a mistake.
" 'We had no intention of showing a man being shot, and certainly we didn't want to do that, and we regret that we did.
'I've directed all of our stations to never show that again,' Elmore added.
"WRAL news director Rick Gall said WRAL also intentionally cut away from the scene to avoid airing a live situation that might end badly.
" 'It appeared to the staff we have in the control room that one of the people exiting the bank was or might be the suspect, and usually that doesn't end well,' he said. 'Recognizing that, we intentionally cut away from the video so that we wouldn't show something that ends badly.' "
The Radio-Television Digital News Association has adopted guidelines for broadcasting graphic content.
"When covering live events that could turn graphic quickly, have you taken sufficient precautions to prevent inappropriate pictures and sound from airing?" it asks. "Is there someone else available to help collaborate on the decision? Have you considered instructing field crews to stay wide on live camera shots?"
On Friday, Raleigh's WNCN-TV, known as NBC17, identified the slain hostage taker as a high school dropout who had recently re-enrolled.
"According to Wake County Schools Spokesman Michael Evans, Mitchell re-enrolled as a freshman at Panther Creek High School last month. He attended the school between Aug. 2007 and Sept. 2008 before dropping out," the station reported.
The News & Observer's Stephanie Soucheray added that the incident "unfolded live on local TV, culminating in Mitchell walking from the building while holding a gun to the head of a female and then being shot by police snipers as the hostage sank to her knees.
" 'This is not how we wanted it to end,' said Cary Police Chief Pat Bazemore. 'We're extremely grateful to everyone who helped bring this sad and challenging event to its conclusion.' No hostages or police were injured in the incident, according to Cary police."
Four schools in the area were locked down at the beginning of the standoff, meaning no one was allowed to enter or exit, but that was lifted at 5 p.m. A day care center across the street from the bank, Kids R Kids, was evacuated, and the children taken to a church. There were 117 children at the center, Bazemore said.
Mike Baker of the Associated Press wrote:
"Authorities said 19-year-old Devon Mitchell of Cary held as many as seven people in the bank and officers were able to negotiate the release of four of them. Two women were released shortly after police arrived, and two more people were released an hour later.
"During one of the releases, overhead television footage showed one of the hostages running from the building quickly while the second fell to the ground outside the bank's door and didn't move. Officers rushed to her side, helped her up and ran backward while keeping their guns aimed at the building's door.
"Three people remained inside, but Bazemore said Mitchell wasn't aware of one of them. She said that hostage was relaying information to authorities outside.
"As darkness fell, Mitchell slowly walked out of the bank with the woman hostage. Officers swarmed and the suspect fell to the ground amid a cluster of gunshots and smoke. The hostage fell to her knees but was apparently unharmed.
" 'I'm shaken. I hope I don't have to see something like that again,' said 16-year-old Zackery Marvel, who watched the dramatic conclusion from an apartment complex nearby."

Discovery to Invest $50 Million More in OWN
"Discovery Communications on Friday said it will invest an additional $50 million in OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, particularly in programming, and break even on the channel this year on an operating basis," Georg Szalai reported Friday for the Hollywood Reporter.
"President and CEO David Zaslav said on an earnings conference call that Discovery expects to increase funding to help drive the network, a joint venture with Oprah Winfrey, to longer-term profitability and growth with stronger content.
". . . Zaslav said his firm is 'confident that we can generate sustained momentum in ratings and reach [operating income before depreciation and amortization] breakeven in 2011,' adding he still expects that OWN will be 'a very big business' over time. . . .
"Zaslav on Friday said 24 new OWN shows are slated to launch this year, which should help boost ratings. While OWN currently features a lot of reruns, over the next six to 12 months, people should start to see the strength of its original programming, Zaslav told analysts. He said ratings should get an additional bump from Winfrey's move to the network after she ends the run of her syndicated show this fall and Rosie O'Donnell's new show, which is set for a fall debut on OWN."
Buffalo Television Station Owner Guilty in Beheading
"A former banking executive who helped launch the nation's first Muslim television station faces 15 years to life in prison after a jury convicted him on Tuesday (Feb. 8) of murdering and decapitating his wife nearly two years ago," Omar Sacirbey wrote Thursday for Religion News Service.
"Muzzammil 'Mo' Hassan, 46, never denied killing Aasiya Zubair Hassan, who he met while visiting his native Pakistan in 2000. They married the same year, and settled in upstate New York.
"Shocked by what she considered to be anti-Muslim hostility in the American media, Hassan's wife persuaded her husband to start a television station to help improve Muslims' image and their relationship with other Americans.
"In 2004, they launched Bridges TV in Orchard Park, N.Y., which featured a mix of religious, cultural and news programming from a Muslim perspective, as well as non-Muslim programming. The station, operated by a multi-religious group, continues to broadcast.
"Behind the ambitious project was a turbulent relationship in which, according to trial testimony, Hassan abused his wife. A week before her murder on Feb. 12, 2009, Zubair Hassan, 37, had filed for divorce.
"Many anti-Muslim critics seized on the crime as an example of the inherent evil and misogyny of Islam. Muslims and others have rejected those allegations, condemned Hassan, and charged critics with exploiting a tragedy to demonize a religion that Zubair Hassan deeply cared for."

"Black Snob" Associate a Figure in Congressman Scandal
The life of Danielle Belton, aka "The Black Snob," has been a whirlwind since she wrote Thursday on theLoop21.com:
"In the midst of an embarrassing scandal broken by the gossip and media blog Gawker, Rep. Christopher Lee (R-NY) resigned from his seat in shame. In less than three hours from when the story broke on Wednesday he was suddenly in retreat. Denials of a computer hack turned into needing to spend time with the wife. But who was the woman at the center of the drama? And how did it all really go down? . . . "
Belton said by e-mail Thursday night, "I've been interviewed so many times and the site crashed a few times as well. . . . I did ABC7, NBC Washington, the Fox affiliate in DC and I filmed segments for both the Today Show and Good Morning America. . . . I was on the radio. It was just a looooong crazy day."
On Friday, Belton quoted from a blog posting on the matter from the woman in question, "34-year-old Maryland mother Yesha Callahan," and disclosed, "Yesha Callahan has freelanced in the past for TheLoop21 and is an associate of TheLoop21 editor Danielle Belton."
Belton recapped, "Lee suddenly resigned this week after a picture he sent Callahan through a Craigslist ad she posted became public through the blog Gawker. Callahan and Lee never met, never went on a date and only exchanged a few flirty emails, but those emails grew into a larger story amid rumors of improper behavior by the married Congressman."
Huffington Post Not Ready to Announce Latino Site
"When we announced Global Black, Arianna mentioned that a Latino vertical was a logical next addition," Mario Ruiz, senior vice president, media relations for the Huffington Post, told Journal-isms.
He was referencing Arianna Huffington's Jan. 20 announcement with Sheila Johnson of a black-oriented section of the Huffington Post site. "As of now, however, we're not ready to announce any new verticals," Ruiz said.
The public radio show "Latino USA" this week discusses "plans to include special 'Latino' and 'African American' sections to the Huffington Post." Maria Hinojosa sat down with June Cross, filmmaker and Columbia University journalism professor, and columnist Ruben Navarrette to discuss whether the plans are a step forward or a step back. A podcast is available.
Short Takes
- Three African Americans were elected regional vice presidents of the Newspaper Guild last weekend in Orlando: Randye Gilliam in Region V (New York region), Kevin Johnson (Great Lakes region) and Sheila Lindsey for the Baltimore-Washington region, where she had been appointed. "We had 3 VP's of color on the last board and will now have 4 for certain . . . and perhaps five based on one scheduled election," Bernie Lunzer, Guild president, told Journal-isms by e-mail.
- CNN news anchor Don Lemon has written a memoir, "Transparent," "which candidly details the painful abuse he endured in childhood," Laura Adibe wrote Thursday for AOL Black Voices. In the course of interviewing young congregants at the Atlanta area megachurch pastored by Bishop Eddie Long in September, Lemon disclosed on a live newscast, "I am a victim of a pedophile."
- A six-part series of columns by Issac J. Bailey of the Sun News in Myrtle Beach, S.C., examining a father's two-year struggle to bring his daughter home from a New York foster home was among 11 President's Award winners for journalism excellence in 2010 announced Thursday by the McClatchy Co. The daughter was abused by the sons of her mother's new boyfriend. Other winners included the staffs of the Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald for coverage of the earthquake in Haiti that took the lives of almost 300,000 people and the Fresno (Calif.) Bee for "In Denial," "a clear-eyed look at the contradictions in the nation's attitudes toward illegal immigration."
- In Pittsburgh, "weekend morning anchor Danielle Nottingham will be leaving WPXI-TV at the end of the month. Ms. Nottingham, who joined the station in 2008, is a weekday reporter for Channel 11 as well," the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported on Thursday. " 'I don't think she has anything special lined up yet; she tells me she wants to be closer to family in Washington, D.C.,' said news director Mike Goldrick."
- "Al Roker's forecast is cloudy with a chance of legal trouble," Michael Starr wrote Thursday for the New York Post. "Two Jersey City men are suing Roker's Spike TV reality show, 'DEA,' for allegedly entering their apartment illegally — twice — then showing the searches and busts on TV."
- Carla Hall, a reporter at the Los Angeles Times for 17 years, and Sandra Hernandez, formerly of the Los Angeles Daily Journal and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, have joined the editorial board of the Los Angeles Times, Kevin Roderick reported Friday for LAObserved.
- "Is Radio One making a concerted effort to enhance its digital properties?" founder and Chairperson Cathy Hughes was asked by AllAccess.com. "Absolutely. That's the reason we bought Black Planet and founded Interactive One; it's the largest portal for African-Americans," she replied in an interview published Jan. 25. "We're actively involved in it — and it's one of our fastest growing revenue sources. It's already way ahead of our projections. Our goal is to make it the #1 destination for African-Americans. Again, you can't stop technology and progress. That's one of the problems with the radio industry. We can no longer rest on our laurels; we've got to get in the fast lane — and it's not just young people in the fast lane ... it's everybody. You walk into a senior citizens center and you see the people checking out their e-mails and looking at pictures of their grandchildren on the web."
- Molly Secours, an unpaid Nashville-based blogger for the Huffington Post, wrote that she will stop contributing in light of AOL's $315 million purchase of the Huffington Post. "What seems apparent is that we humans often teach and preach the very things we need to learn the most. And usually, it is the very forces we rebel against and denounce that eventually expose our own vulnerabilities. [Arianna] Huffington is no exception to the rule — no matter how many times she uses the words 'corporate' and 'swine' in the same sentence," Secours wrote.

15. Consequences of Ejection
If the referee ejects a person from any game between two BAYS teams, that person will be automatically suspended from participating in the next BAYS game that his/her team actually plays. If the ejection is received during a BAYS playoff game, the person is suspended from the next BAYS playoff game. If the ejection was for violent conduct, fighting, or certain forms of serious foul play, the suspension will automatically be for two BAYS games. The ejection report and passcard (when required) shall be sent immediately to the ejection secretary; the passcard MUST be retained by the referee at the game in all circumstances. If a suspended person does participate in a game for which the suspension applies, the team will forfeit the game and this violation will be referred to the Sportsmanship Review Committee.
If a person receives a second ejection during a season, the matter will be referred to the Sportsmanship Review Committee, which may subject the offender to additional discipline.
If the ejection secretary considers an ejection offense to be serious, or if there are more than two ejections in a game, the ejection secretary shall refer the situation to the Sportsmanship Review Committee.
To have a passcard returned, you must contact the ejection secretary immediately after all games for which the suspension applies have been completed to indicate where to mail the passcards that are to be returned. The ejection secretary will not mail any passcard until notified. A person who needs his/her passcard for activities outside the BAYS league during the period of suspension from BAYS games may make arrangements with the ejection secretary to obtain the passcard, after providing the ejection secretary with an appropriate contact for the outside activity. The ejection secretary will notify that contact of the suspension in effect in the BAYS league. It is the responsibility of the person to return the passcard to the ejection secretary immediately after the outside activity.

Lehmann recipe for one 16-inch pizzaFlour (100%), King Arthur high-gluten, 12.65 oz. (2 3/4 plus 3 T.)Water (63%), 7.95 oz., (1 c.)Salt (1.75%), 0.20 oz., (a bit over 1 t.)Oil (1%), 0.13 oz., (a bit over 3/4 t.)IDY (0.25%), 0.03 oz., (about 1/3 t.)Total dough ball weight: 21.10 oz.Thickness factor (TF) = 0.105Good luck.Peter
Today I made another pizza based on Tom L.'s New York style dough recipe, but with three major departures from my prior experiments with the recipe. Before getting to the changes, I will first mention that I "designed" the dough to produce a 14-inch pizza. The ingredients and percentages for making the dough were exactly as I detailed in the example I gave in the previous post. For recapitulation purposes, the recipe I followed was as follows: Flour (high-gluten, Giusto), 9.35 oz. (about 2 3/8 c.) Water (62% hydration), 5.8 oz. (about 3/4 c.) Salt, 0. 80 t., or a little bit over 3/4 t. Oil, 0.57 t., or about 1/2 to 5/8 t. Yeast (0.25% IDY), 0.22 t., or slightly less than 1/4 t.The first departure I made from my prior efforts was to use the Giusto High Performer flour, a high-protein flour with about 14% protein + or - 0.05% (according to the spec sheet). I had intended to use the KA Sir Lancelot flour but the decision to use the Giusto flour was made for me when I discovered that I had just about run out of the KASL. The second departure from my prior efforts was to use an autolyse. Technically, an autolyse is a period of rest for a dough that is made by combining flour, water and yeast (if the rest period is short)--and no salt. The salt is left out because it is hygroscopic (it absorbs water) and interferes with the process of hydration (absorption of water) by the starch and gluten in the flour and also impairs action of the yeast, as is well known. The net effect is that during the autolyse the dough has a chance to recover from the stress of the initial kneading, making the dough easier to handle and shape and resulting in a more porous interior. It also cuts down on the mixing times and, consequently, minimizes oxidation of the dough, which has the effect of mixing out color and flavor (according to Peter Reinhart, it destroys vitamins such as beta carotene.) The use of autolyse is an old baker's trick and is not as common with pizza dough as it is with bread dough, but I have used it many times before, and I note that others on this forum, including Giotto, have also used it before or a variation of it. (Peter Reinhart also uses a variation in his NY style pizza dough recipe.)The third departure was to use a food processor for all the mixing and kneading, using a 14-cup Cuisinart processor fitted with a plastic blade. One of the problems with kneading a small amount of dough in a stand mixer is that it is difficult to get the mixer to do a thorough job of kneading without stopping the machine from time to time to reorient the dough relative to the paddle or dough hook or to do some hand kneading to expedite the kneading process. The food processor does not have this problem. However, the food processor has the problem of contributing considerably more frictional heat to the dough than a stand mixer--as much as 30 degrees F as compared with about 3-5 degrees F for a home stand mixer operated at low to medium speed. In my case, this meant having to use cold water to compensate for the fricitional heat of the food processor to achieve a finished dough temperature of aroung 80-85 degrees F as called for in Tom L.'s recipe. Based on the temperatures that prevailed at my place today, this meant having to use a water temperature of 46 degrees F.To prepare the dough in the food processor, I first combined the flour and IDY in the bowl of the processor. Using the pulse feature, I then added the water to the bowl of the processor and pulsed the machine until all of the flour had been taken up by the dough. I then covered the bowl for 10 minutes, as an autolyse. After the 10 minutes had passed, I examined the dough and took its temperature. The dough was very soft and malleable and had a temperature of about 78 degrees F. I then added the oil and kneaded that into the dough, again using the pulse feature. This was followed by adding the salt and pulsing that into the dough also. This was followed by running the machine at full speed ("on") for about 20 seconds. Although I didn't perform a windowpane test, the dough was smooth and silky with no tears on the outer skin. The finished dough temperature was 83 degrees F. So, as you can see, it doesn't take much to run up the dough temperature in a food processor, even when the plastic blade is used. It takes far less than a minute. But, so long as you can minimize buildup of heat in the dough, as by using the pulse feature as much as possible, you will get a dough that is as good as, if not better, than what you will get in a stand mixer for the same amount of dough. Once the dough was prepared, I lightly coated it with olive oil, put it into a metal cookie tin with the cover on loosely (in order to allow the dough to dry out a bit), and placed the tin in the refrigeraror. An hour later, I removed the dough from the tin (its temperature had dropped from 83 degrees F to 64 degrees F by this time), placed the dough within a plastic bread bag and returned it to the cookie tin. I tightly secured the cover to the tin, and placed the tin back into the refrigerator. Exactly 24 hours later, I removed the dough from the refrigerator (the dough was at a temperature of 56 degrees F), and brought it out to room temperature in preparation for shaping, dressing and baking. About 1 1/2 hours later, I started to shape the dough. It was softer and less dense than the dough I have been making with the KASL flour, but it was equally extensible and handled easily. I shaped it into a 14-inch round on a peel, dressed it, and baked it for about 7 minutes on a pizza stone that had been preheated for 1 hour at 500-550 degrees F. Having tired of pepperoni pizzas, I dressed today's pizza with a mixture of 6-in-1 and San Marzano tomatoes, sliced mushrooms sauteed in butter, pre-cooked sweet Italian sausage (removed from its casing), sweet diced red peppers, shredded Fontina cheese, provolone cheese, fresh oregano, dried sage, a small amount of fresh rosemary, and olive oil. The crust of the finished pizza was properly browned and exemplary of the classical NY style pizza. It was softer, however, than the crusts made using the KASL and lacking an autolyse. Whether the differences were attributable to the autolyse or the different flour will have to await another day when I have had a chance to repeat the recipe again with the KASL flour I normally use. But I couldn't complain about today's pizza. With a glass of red wine, it hit the spot. The photo below, and in the next post, depict today's pizza.Peter
Question for Peter...Why is smooth, no tears in the dough texture better? Does mixing longer make for a smoother dough? I did have tears in the above effort and it made a great crust. But I did roll it out.
I think I may not have mixed as long as you did. Would under mixing (kneading) make for tears in the dough ball surface? I noticed this right away when moving the dough from the Kitchen Aid stand mixer to a bowl. I couldn't form a ball that didn't have a tear look in the surface. Is it possible that under kneading allowed me to get a nice airy crust even though I rolled it?

flyhigh123,I believe that the dough recipe you used is the one set forth at Reply 51 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,576.msg5486.html#msg5486 . If so, I later improved upon that recipe. However, before responding further, can you tell me if you used the volume measurements or the weight measurements for the flour and the water?Since you are new to the NY style, you might want to read the series of posts starting at Reply 8 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,2223.msg19563.html#msg19563 . That thread discusses a NY style dough made in a stand mixer but you will be able to see photos of what a typical dough ball looks like at different stages. As you can see from the photos, the dough should not be stiff. However, I might have a better idea as to what happened in your case once you tell me how you measured out the flour and water.I might add that it is fairly common not to see much of a rise in the Lehmann NY style dough after a day of cold fermentation. Often the dough rises but is not evident to the naked eye. The reason for the slow rise is due mainly to the small amount of yeast used. But once the dough ball is removed from the refrigerator and allowed to temper at room temperature for about 1 1/2-2 hours, you should start to see the dough noticeably increase in volume. Peter
To be honest, when you start getting into hydration rate and all that, I tend to get a little lost. Any links that break down the math on that?
Is there anywhere I should go to learn more about shaping/tossing the dough?

Eve Pearl Foundation Tutorial
Back with another video :) I've been meaning to do this one for a while, but I had to wait a bit since I needed the correct products. I've been raving about Eve Pearl products for so long. I was especially excited to try her HD foundation and Salmon Concealer. She always makes makeup look so simple and easy. The good thing about her products are that many are multi-tasking and time saving.
In terms of selecting the right shade, I initially thought I was Medium but it was too light for me, even in the winter. Instead, I'm the next shade up - tan. For all of you ladies NC40-43, this is the shade for you. I love how this foundation is super creamy and smooth. It's not greasy or too thick and dry like some cream foundations. When Eve Pearl applies foundation, she emphasizes the fact that you should still be able to see your own skin shine through. This foundation gives you the flawless look of perfect skin...you can't even tell you're wearing makeup!
Check out my foundation tutorial
For those of you who can't watch the video, here are the products and steps for you.
1) Start off with a clean face. Then apply Eve Pearl priming moisturizer to the entire face and neck. This is double duty - it not only moisturizes, but also primes the skin for foundation. The consistency is very liquid-like, so be careful not to let it tip over or you might lose some product. I spread mine out on a palette and used a foundation brush, but you can also apply it with clean fingers.
2) If you tend to be oily, Anti-Shine will be your new best friend. After priming/moisturizing, apply the Anti-Shine in spots that tend to grease up - i.e. the t-zone. I used Light/Medium but it is also available in Tan/Dark. After all your makeup is done, you can also apply this afterwards as a touch up product.
3) Time for foundation! I tested both shades on my jaw and found that I'm right in the middle. I mixed 1 part light side and 1 part dark to find my perfect shade. If you are a makeup artist, scoop some onto a palette and then apply with a foundation brush. If this is your own compact, you can dip your brush directly into the product. After applying to the face, take a damp sponge and blend out the foundation. This is the key to give you the "flawless skin" look. The damp sponge helps to sheer out the foundation just enough to let your skin shine through. In the video, I also show that you can use the colors for contouring. Place the darker shade in areas of your face that shadows would usually fall (hollows of cheek, jaw, temples) and the lighter shade on areas that sun would hit (bride of nose, cheekbones, chin).
4) After applying foundation, apply the salmon concealer. I use the medium shade. I applied it with a concealer brush to my undereye circles then proceeded with blending it in with my ring finger. The foundation alone provides one layer of coverage so that you don't need as much concealing in the end. This product is a definitely must-have for those of you experiencing problems with undereye circles.
5) In the end, you can set your makeup with a powder of your choice. Eve Pearl has a translucent pressed powder she offers which looks good on every skin tone.
The final look!

Mr. Speaker, there has to be transparency so that consumers know what is in products. They are not labelled, which is the problem. If consumers do not know what is in front of them, it is hard for them to report. This is why it is important for the government to do the kind of enforcement that is necessary. The government needs to make sure the regulations and the law are being followed.
The government talks about being soft on crime. We do not want to see the government being soft on corporate crime, soft on crimes that are committed on our children when they put things in their mouths that contain lead, for example. The sum of $113 million over two years is not--

Canada Consumer Product Safety Act
Government Orders
10:45 a.m.
John Rafferty Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to speak to Bill C-6.
Hundreds of products have been recalled in the last couple of years, many of them from offshore. In fact, 65% of the products sold in this country are imported. Not many are made here.
I want to speak about children's products. When my children were little, I remember seeing labels on toys, blankets and so on, mainly children's products, that indicated they were made from 100% unknown fibres. I used to smile at that. I knew what it meant. They were probably clean and new fibres, but they were unknown fibres. Hopefully this bill will address that kind of label, as well as counterfeit labels.
Canada's Hazardous Products Act is 40 years old this year. It has not been very effective in identifying or removing dangerous products. It leaves Canadians at the mercy of product recalls which mainly originate in the United States. We take action later.
Bill C-6 will enable us to recall products in a timely fashion. It addresses some of the weaknesses. It will empower the government to order a recall of dangerous products. It will increase government authority to require information and action from manufacturers and importers. It will require mandatory reporting by manufacturers and importers of incidents involving death or injury from a product's use, and to inform Canadians of any potential harm. It also will apply heavy fines to violators.
There are some good parts in this bill and I am certainly supportive of it. Despite these changes, however, improvements are still needed if the bill is to be effective and supportable. I will talk about some of those proposed amendments in a moment.
Right now there is too much discretion for inspectors, and action is pretty well optional, even when it is believed that human health might be at risk. The government is not required to inform consumers of safety issues that have been identified. This area needs to be tightened up.
Sometimes it is just a question of language. Instead of stating that something "may" be done, the legislation should state that there is a responsibility to do something, or that something "must" be done. The bill must have a more proactive, aggressive approach to product safety.
With respect to consumer protection, the previous Liberal government had 12 years to do something and as of 2005-06 nothing had been done.
I would like to make a quick comment concerning a business in my riding, because it is relevant in this particular situation regarding consumer protection and harm to Canadians.
GRK Fasteners is an importer and exporter of fastening products. Ninety-six per cent of the products that GRK Fasteners produces and repackages in Canada are sent to the United States and only about 4% of the products are sold in Canada. It is very harmful to Canadians and harmful to this company, and the 40 or so people who work for GRK Fasteners, that the company has been hit with a 170% SIMA duty. That needs to be reconsidered and dealt with soon. This company is doing absolutely no harm to Canadians, as 96% of its products are exported to the United States.
It is very interesting that the government can overlook some things that harm Canadians, but it is really harming Canadians, small business and jobs such as those at GRK Fasteners in Thunder Bay. That company's only option may be to move its operations to the United States. We are talking about 40 manufacturing jobs in Thunder Bay. It is interesting to make that contrast.
Getting back to the bill at hand, the public is hungry for reliable product safety information. Companies in Canada manufacture high-quality safe products. Quite frankly, we expect others to do the same and to be able to prove it.
There are some proposed amendments to the bill for when it gets to committee.
The first is concerning health and the environment. The general "prohibition" in the bill should be expanded so that no consumer product can be imported or marketed if it is a danger to human health or safety either through direct exposure or via the environment.
A section should be added prohibiting substances on the list of toxic substances from consumer products, with a very few exceptions, for example, when the substance is not a hazard in the consumer product itself. I think we could be reasonable on that kind of amendment.
The legislation should include a duty for the government to act when the government is made aware of a risk regarding a consumer product. I think everybody in this House would agree that would be a reasonable amendment. There should be a duty for the minister to inform the public when he or she is made aware of a risk regarding a consumer product.
In deciding whether a danger to health or safety exists, the legislation should require the government to consider: the release of harmful substances from products during use or after disposal, including to house dust and indoor air; the potential harm from chronic exposure to the substance; the potential harm to vulnerable populations; the cumulative exposure to a substance Canadians receive from the products of concern and other environmental exposures; and the substitution principle, that is, whether safe substitutes exist.
The legislation should create a hot list similar to that for cosmetics, listing carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins and neurotoxins. These substances should be prohibited in products with temporary exceptions granted only to the extent that the product is essential and only when alternatives do not exist. At a bare minimum, any product containing such chemicals should be required to carry a hazard label, as is required in a number of states, including California and Vermont, and in the European Union as well.
The legislation should establish a list of product classes at highest risk of containing or releasing hazardous substances. There should be explicit guidance prioritizing the routine inspection of these product classes. The legislation should require labelling of all ingredients, as is already the case with cosmetics and some other products.
I prefaced my remarks by saying that I certainly support sending this bill to committee. I have just outlined some of the amendments we would like to see to the bill. I am certainly open to any questions that may come from the floor.

Mr. Speaker, Nova Scotia has a new premier and a new government following Tuesday's election. I want to congratulate all the candidates who ran for office from all parties, showing their commitment to Nova Scotia.
I want to personally congratulate the re-elected MLAs from my own riding: Marilyn More, Trevor Zinck and Becky Kent. I look forward to continuing to work with them to improve our communities.
I am thrilled to see Andrew Younger win my home provincial constituency of Dartmouth East. He is an outstanding advocate for Dartmouth East and will be a fabulous Liberal MLA, as will Kelly Regan, the wonderful new MLA in Bedford-Birch Cove. I also want to salute Steve McNeil, our leader in Nova Scotia, who fought a tremendously strong and honourable campaign.
I want to congratulate our new premier, NDP Premier Darrell Dexter, somebody I have known longer than either one of us would care to admit. He is an honourable public servant who has well earned this victory. While we belong to different political parties, I know him to be a dedicated, honest person who will put the province first.
I join all Nova Scotians in wishing him well as he takes on the difficult task of governing in uneasy times.

Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to pay tribute today to one of our own, a man from Repentigny, Gilles Tremblay. On May 20, the sports complex in Repentigny was renamed Complexe sportif Gilles-Tremblay, in honour of this former player for the Montreal Canadiens.
He skated with the Habs from 1960 to 1969, winning two Stanley Cups. When his career on the ice came to an end, he did not leave the hockey world, but became one of the first retired players to sit behind the microphone, joining the legendary René Lecavalier. He spent 27 years working on La Soirée du hockey, CBC's French-language version of Hockey Night in Canada, and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a sports commentator in 2002.
As the member for Repentigny, I am very happy to be able to pay tribute to this passionate man. I congratulate Mr. Tremblay for his important contribution to the Repentigny community, and thank him for all the years he dedicated to promoting our national sport.

Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, this year marks the 90th anniversary of the historic Winnipeg General Strike and the completion of the Ukrainian Labour Temple, recently designated a national historic site.
The temple stands in my constituency of Winnipeg North as a symbol of the courage needed always to defend the rights of working people who, like today, are often made to bear the brunt of a nation's economic ills.
The spirit of 1919 lives on through Danny Schur's musical, Strike!, and it lives on through concrete efforts today to build community and pursue social justice. It lives on in the Spirit's Call choir, which just donated the proceeds of its annual concert to the North Point Douglas Women's Centre, whose director is Elaine Bishop, a recent recipient of the YWCA's Woman of Distinction Award.
It lives on in this weekend's celebration of the first anniversary of Pollock's Hardware Co-op, which has proven that the spirit of cooperation and collective action can overcome.
Happy 90th Birthday, Winnipeg General Strike, the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians and the Ukrainian Labour Temple.

Patricia Davidson Sarnia—Lambton, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to rise in the House today to pay tribute to a dynamic trio of women from my riding of Sarnia—Lambton.
The three women, Wilma McNeil, Vera Lawlor and Margaret Cushman, started a local group, the Sarnia-Lambton Committee against Trafficking of Women and Children.
From its humble beginnings of just three members a little over two years ago, these three women have persisted in bringing attention to this urgent issue and are now the proud founders of an organization that has membership from the Sexual Assault Survivors' Centre, the Sarnia Police Service, Sarnia-Lambton Crime Stoppers, the Salvation Army and a team of compassionate and dedicated volunteers.
They recently produced an info-pamphlet for distribution that identifies the signs of human trafficking and outlines actions for the public to take.
I invite all members of the House to join me in paying tribute to Wilma, Vera and Margaret for their selfless and tireless work in promoting human rights in our community.
Lobster Industry
Statements By Members

Gerry Byrne Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte, NL
Mr. Speaker, lobster fishermen from Quebec, P.E.I., Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador are reacting to the federal government's recent announcement with disappointment, frustration and concern.
For an industry that should be netting $5 billion in value to those provinces over the next five years, the government has extended $15 million in income support. That $15 million is to be spread over five provinces for 10,000 lobster fishermen.
The FFAW, the MFU and several Quebec-based fisheries organizations have all come out and said that the federal government's response is far too little and far too late. Some have said that the program is a good start, but for it to be a good start, there would have to be more on the way.
Little concrete information is out yet about the program, but here is a portion of what we do know: $15 million will be spread among 10,000 lobster fishermen; no applications or specific eligibility criteria have been established yet; and since it is based on a comparison of 2008 lobster earnings versus 2009 lobster earnings, it will not be until at least the fall of 2009 before one dime is spent.

Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate Rogers TV Simcoe and Grey Counties, which took top honours at the 2009 Impression Awards.
The station was named TV Station of the Year and was honoured for its programming and community commitment to Simcoe and Grey Counties. The local channel produces substantial, quality and daily local programming that is so important to our communities.
The local Rogers channel also picked up the Impact Award for its documentary series, In Focus: Beating the Bully, one of two awards earned by Rogers TV producer Steve McEown.
The community channel earned three awards and two finalist nominations for its local news show and its coverage of the federal election in 2008.
I am very proud to have a group of television producers and journalists so dedicated to local television production in my community. The people of Bruce--Grey--Owen Sound are well served by this station and the committed people who make this station work day after day.
Congratulations to Rogers TV.
Conservative Stimulus Plan
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Meili Faille Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, we believe that the progress report on the Conservatives' stimulus plan, which the Prime Minister presented yesterday with great fanfare, is a con. Most of the infrastructure projects announced in the Liberal-supported plan are not even underway yet, even though the crisis has been going on for months.
The presidents of the Fédération Québécoise des Municipalités and the Union des municipalités du Québec are unanimous. They have not seen any money yet, and they are beginning to wonder if the crisis will be over by the time the work finally begins.
The fact is that barely 6% of the funds have been distributed. This government's stimulus plan is a failure, and more and more people are losing their jobs.
And what has the government decided to do? It has decided to delay employment insurance reform until the fall, thereby depriving thousands of unemployed workers of income. This government should have acted on the solutions proposed by the Bloc Québécois, solutions that communities support.
The Economy
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Andrew Saxton North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Prime Minister reported to Canadians that 80% of our economic action plan initiatives are already being implemented.
Conservatives are delivering results and creating jobs. The Conservative government's unprecedented effort to accelerate job-creating investments is working for Canadians from coast to coast to coast. We are creating jobs, stimulating the economy, and helping those hardest hit by the global recession.
In Cambridge yesterday, the Prime Minister said:
In just 72 days, our government has eighty per cent of the largest economic recovery program in Canadian history under way.
We are providing tax relief and improved access to financing for Canadian households and businesses; assisting unemployed workers through extended EI benefits and improved skills training; creating jobs through a massive injection of infrastructure spending; and investing in the jobs of tomorrow through new supports for research and technology.
At actionplan.gc.ca, Canadians can view all the new job creation projects that the economic action plan and this Conservative government are delivering for Canadians.
Dominic Giroux

Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week, on June 2, I had the pleasure of attending a ceremony to install my friend Dominic Giroux as the ninth president of Laurentian University.
I would like to begin by congratulating him, as well as his wife Barbara, herself a graduate of Laurentian University. I also want to wish him every success. His impressive record suggests nothing less.
At 18 years of age, he was elected as a school trustee here in eastern Ontario. Two years later, he became the youngest school board president in the country. He is a graduate of the University of Ottawa and the École des hautes études commerciales de Montréal. He began a career in education administration and climbed the ranks so quickly that, in his early 30s, he became the Deputy Minister of Education for the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, where he championed French-language education and an education strategy for aboriginal peoples.
The university's Board of Governors has made a judicious choice in Dominic. With his energy, enthusiasm, creativity and sincerity, the next 10 years should prove very successful for Laurentian University and the Sudbury area.
I wish Dominic continued success.
The Economy
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Dean Del Mastro Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government has taken unprecedented and extraordinary action to accelerate the job-creating investments in Canada's economic action plan. Because of our unprecedented action, families and businesses in every region of Canada are now paying less tax, we are helping the unemployed, and major job-creating projects are already breaking ground.
This is in very sharp contrast to the Liberal plan of raising taxes. The leader of the Liberal Party announced a few months ago, "We will have to raise taxes". This harmful policy is in addition to his promise to impose a job-killing carbon tax and increase the GST. Canadians do not want that, and that is why they trust our Conservative government to manage the economy.
Because of our government's prudent management of the country's finances and economy, we have managed to retain the smallest deficit compared to GDP of any G7 country.
Canada's economic action plan is internationally recognized as the right response to this economic challenge.

Revision as of 07:33, 5 October 2012
To provide the members of i3Detroit with another fabrication tool tool to build their projects.
Hard to guess on this one. Factors include builder availability, acquiring parts quickly, communication between builders. I would guess several months will go by before we can do some forming. Okay, more than several. Build started on 4-4-12.
While I have been a member for nearly 1.5 years, I have not yet worked on a team build. This will be my first team build and also my first time leading a team build. So far about 4 members and myself are builders. I hope to add a few more in order to add high quality welding and knowledgable electrical skills. Brian W. has volunteered to work on the vacuum pump, tanks and the control panel. We also have talented member Glen M who has kindly donated funds for the purchase of the oven kit. Rocco was also kind enough to donate funds for the oven kit.
After meeting with a few of the project builders, it was decided to build a larger machine than I had planned to build alone. We looked at different designs and decided to purchase the "Proto-Form" plans online. I have bought these plans and printed them out. Builders are welcome to write notes and comments on the plans as they need to.
Sure it going to cost a few bucks and a few calories but all the tools to build a vacuum forming machine are already at i3Detroit. Several members have pledged donations for purchasing materials. Most of these members are also on the build team. The oven/heating unit is a bit expensive and I'm not sure about the pricing for the metal frame (it was about $200) and electrical connections (around $250).
Here's a short list of parts already available (or almost available)
Electrical. Vacuum system parts.
Parts that need to be purchased
Platen parts. Vacuum hoses.
Completed Work
Wooden mobile cart is complete. All of the steel frame has been welded. Sheet metal oven holder is now ready for oven. The mobile cart and main vacuum tank have been painted. Upper and lower red oak wooden boxes are now complete. Oven has been built and tested. Most of the wiring is now complete.
Next steps: Finish wiring electrical. Control panel. Build platen and vacuum system.
The plans for the Proto-Form were created by Doug from Workshop Publishing in Lake Orion. Doug dropped by for a tour on 7-19-12 and we purchased an oven kit from him.
Maker Faire: Although not yet completed, the VacuumFormer will be shown at MakerFaire 2012. There will be samples of formed plastics made on vacuumformers.

The 1994-D Washington Quarter is one of the scarcer coins in MS66 condition and higher. It's hard to imagine that out of over 880 million quarters struck for this issue, there are only about 100 known examples in MS66 condition and very few finer. In MS67 grade less than a dozen are known, making it a very tough issue in the Clad Washington Quarter series.

Last Weekend in CincinnatiPosted by Garrett Schumann in Composers, Concerts, Contemporary Classical, Music Events, tags: CCM, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Midwest
The University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) proudly hosted last weekend's meeting of the MidWest Composers Symposium, a consortium currently made up of the composition departments from CCM, Indiana University and the Universities of Iowa and Michigan.
The Symposium dates back to the 1960s, and, according to University of Michigan Professor of Composition Evan Chambers, arose dually from the prevailing sentiment that American contemporary music was not respected globally and the fact that, at that time, it was exceptionally challenging for student composers to get their works performed. "Each of the [charter] schools was known for different kinds of composition," Professor Chambers explained in a phone interview, "there was no other way to find out what was happening between these institutions."
Because I was unable to attend last weekend's festival, I checked in with the event's student co-director Jennifer Jolley, a current doctoral candidate in composition at CCM. Jennifer received her undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music and then took time off to teach, perform and accompany in Vermont. She began studying at CCM in 2007 and organized this year's MidWest Composers Symposium with fellow graduate composition student Angelique Poteat.
S21: What were the greatest organization challenges you faced in pulling together this year's MidWest Composers Symposium?
CCM is unfortunately on the quarter system, which meant that our classes started on September 22; therefore we only had a month to plan everything. Angelique Poteat (my co-director) and I gave our composers two weeks to assemble their pieces and performers, and that left us a mere two weeks to put everything together. We couldn't figure out the concert order until CCM submitted their contribution, and we wanted to give the new CCM students a chance to submit a piece for the symposium.
S21: At its founding, each member of the MidWest Composers Symposium possessed unique musical tendencies; for example, the University of Iowa was know for preferring experimental compositional techniques. Do similar musical identities still exist from one member institution to another? If so, what were the weekend's most remarkable examples of this diversity?
I believe they do, although this year UI did not submit as many electronic/experimental pieces as they have in the past! In fact, Angelique Poteat's "Cyclic Complement" for bass clarinet and fixed format (CCM), Melody Eötvös's "Die hohle Höhle" for 5.1 surround playback (IU), Jerod Sommerfeldt's video "Linear" used sounds constructed in Pd (CCM), and Zach Zubow's "Fugitive Yellow Shirt" for violin and electronics (UI) were highlights from the experimental end; Mr. Zubow's piece being one of the few electronic submissions from UI.
On this note, I believe CCM likes to take subtle risks in their music (Paul Schuette's "Complete Fragments" was installed in the lobby of Werner Recital Hall, for example), UM's Daugherty influence makes their pieces agressive (David Biedenbender's "you've been talking in your sleep" and William Zuckerman's "Ajax" come to mind), and IU writes conservative but solid, well-constructed pieces (like Timothy Miller's "Sketches on Scars.")
