made one at 48 hrs in the fridge and the second after 72. both were great, slight edge to the 72.
i baked the first one in a perforated 16" pizza pan on a preheated stone on top of a stone at 550 for about 10-12 minutes, which turned out nice, but the second one I made without the stone (same temp and time), and the bottom of the crust was much better developed without using the stone. not saying do it one way or the other, but for my tastes, the pan w/o stone proved the best (IMHO).
I decided to give this recipe a try considering all of the comments it had gotten. I gave it a spin last weekend. I made the dough on Saturday exactly per the recipe. The dough was refrigerated for ~30 hours. At prep time, I prepared two 14" pizzas. I had plenty of my own sauce still available so I used that up. The cheese is my standard 70:15:15 of skim-milk mozzarella, sharp cheddar and provolone. The first was my gold standard of Italian sausage and mushrooms. Next time I will try using the sauce recipe that Garvey posted with the dough recipe. The second pizza was simply a 1/2 cheese, 1/2 tomato + basil (Midwestern Margherita). Pizzas were cooked directly on a pizzastone heated at 500 degrees for 1 hour. I used small dusting of semolina on the peel to help with sliding it onto the stone. The pics below should give you a pretty good idea how it turned out, which is to say, pretty good. Comments: I like the recipe. The dough performed well. It is a little more hydrated than my standard recipe of 47-48% and it contains A LOT more oil than my typical Midwestern thin crust. When I first took the dough out of the containers from the refrigerator, it reminded me a fair amount of my BTB-clone Chicago deep-dish dough because of the amount of oil. I like the final result. I would say it is as good as some of the other recipes that I use, but no better. Definitely a keeper, I think I am going to tweak it a little for my own personal taste by reducing the hydration a couple % and cutting the oil to about 1/2 of what the current recipe calls for. Thanks Garvey! -ME
^^that pie looks awesome -- except you ruined it by cutting it into triangles!!!
Given how many times I've made this recipe and how long it's been my only thin crust recipe I use (outside of the few experiments inspired by this forum), it sounds crazy to admit that I even tinkered with it at all. But I think I have stumbled upon an innovation that improves upon this already great recipe: NO KNEAD.Here's the back story. Every winter, the old neighborhood gang gets together for a guys weekend at a cabin in the woods. Pizza Factory is the star of the show. We all grew up eating it, and the pizzas we make that weekend are always the best. Well, several months back, I was making 20-something dough balls for the long weekend, which is a taxing feat without a commercial sized mixer. My little consumer grade KitchenAid would have to do, and it was going to be many batches at full capacity. I also have a job and family and don't really have an extra day in the middle of the week to just sit around and make dough. So I thought to myself, "Heck, I'll just not knead it at all and bang out these batches as quickly as possible." I made five or six batches of four dough balls (300g each) per batch. I bulk fermented each batch overnight in a ziploc bag and then balled and bagged up all 20-something. I really wasn't sure how they'd turn out. I figured it would all be OK, and the good company and libations would smooth out any minor deficiencies. Boy, was I wrong. It was not OK--it was awesome! After the requisite 3-day cold ferment, the dough was workable as usual, but it baked up crispier and more wonderful than ever before. I was hesitant to share these results here on the forum without further testing. Yeah, 20+ pizzas might be too many for a fluke, but they were all made at the same time. Since then, I have made it a couple more times, to great results. I think this will be my new go-to method. Would love to hear how it works for you.NO KNEAD PIZZA FACTORY DOUGHFor each 14" pie, you'll need a 300 g dough ball. Here is the recipe for two (because who in their right mind would make only one pizza? ;-))AP Flour (100%):Cool Water (50%):IDY (.5%):Salt (1%):Oil (8%):Sugar (1%):Total (160.5%):Single Ball:373.83 g | 13.19 oz | 0.82 lbs186.92 g | 6.59 oz | 0.41 lbs1.87 g | 0.07 oz | 0 lbs | 0.62 tsp | 0.21 tbsp3.74 g | 0.13 oz | 0.01 lbs | 0.67 tsp | 0.22 tbsp29.91 g | 1.05 oz | 0.07 lbs | 6.65 tsp | 2.22 tbsp3.74 g | 0.13 oz | 0.01 lbs | 0.94 tsp | 0.31 tbsp600 g | 21.16 oz | 1.32 lbs | TF = .06875300 g | 10.58 oz | 0.66 lbs | TF = .06875NOTE: As a no-knead dough, it requires a long, cold ferment. Make dough 72 hrs ahead (absolute minimum is 48 hrs.; still great after 96 hrs), kept in fridge until a couple hrs before baking. Punch down if needed during the first 12 hrs. I like to separate out the dough balls after the first 12 hrs. of rising as one mass.MIXING: When making the dough, dump all the dry ingredients into the mixer bowl, stir to combine, and then add the liquids. Be sure to use cool water (60o-ish?). Mix it just until the dough comes together and is uniform throughout. It's done. That is, don't knead it. Cover it and stick it in the fridge for 72 hrs, when it's pizza time.

Las Casas, Bartolomé de
Bartolomé de Las Casas 1474–1566
Spanish historian and polemicist.
Often characterized by modern historians as the "Defender and Apostle to the Indians," Bartolomé de Las Casas is known for exposing and condemning the violent practices of Spanish colonizers of the New World against native Americans. Marked by emotionally charged language and often exaggerated statistics, Las Casas's works caused him to be harshly criticized in his own lifetime as a threat to Spanish rule in America. Though more than four hundred years have passed since his death, the works of this controversial Dominican friar continue to elicit strong reactions from both detractors and defenders.
Biographical Information
Bartolomé de Las Casas was born to an aristocratic family in Seville in 1474. He studied theology and law at the University of Salamanca before accompanying Columbus on his third voyage to America in 1498. In 1511 Las Casas went to Santo Domingo to join the priesthood; a year later, he participated in the colonization of Cuba. The torture, enslavement, and generally inhumane treatment of the Indians that he witnessed during Cuba's colonization compelled him to defend them against further mistreatment, and in 1521, by the decree of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V (who was also king Charles I of Spain), Las Casas was granted an opportunity to plan and implement a system of non-violent colonization and Christian indoctrination in the district of Cumaná in Venezuela, but the experiment failed. Disheartened, he joined the Dominicans in 1523 and for several years refrained from any direct involvement in Spain's colonial policies. During this period of profound introspection, he began to write his first extensive works, the Historia de las Indias (History of the Indies; 1875) and the Apologética historia sumaria (Summary Apologetical History; 1951). In the 1530s Las Casas began once again to take an active role with regard to Spanish policies, travelling to Venezuela, Perú, New Granada, Darién and Guatemala to observe colonial practices. Assuming that the royal family and governing councils in Spain were unaware of the violent acts that conquistadors committed in their names, Las Casas drafted and circulated among them many treatises, proclamations, and petitions calling for the reform of Spain's colonization
practices. Named Bishop of Chiapas in Mexico in 1543, Las Casas remained in this position until he returned to Spain in 1549. In Spain, he began writing his Apología (In Defense of the Indians; 1552). This became the basis of his argument against Juan Gines de Sepúlveda, an Aristotelian scholar who argued at the council of Valladolid in 1550–51 for the continued violent means of New World conquest on the grounds that there is a natural inequality among human beings. Las Casas actively campaigned for more humane treatment of Native Americans until his death in Madrid in 1566.
Major Works
Las Casas began writing his first comprehensive work, Historia de las Indias, around 1527. This polemical work outlines Europe's New World conquests from 1492 to 1520 and attempts to portray Native Americans as culturally different from, but equal to Europeans. At the same time, Las Casas started his Apologética historia sumaria, which recognized the legitimacy of Native American societies and argued that they would best respond to non-violent means of Christian indoctrination. Many of Las Casas's subsequent works consist largely of excerpts from these two histories. His most famous, the Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias (The Devastation of the Indies: A Brief Account, 1552), was his only work published before his death. Written in 1542 and published ten years later in Seville without the consent of the Royal Council, the Brief Account was Las Casas's most acrimonious assault on Spanish colonial policies. It was officially banned in Spain by the Holy Tribunal of Zaragoza in 1660, but new editions appeared periodically throughout Europe.
Critical Reception
During his lifetime, many Spanish nationalists and governmental officials characterized Las Casas as a traitor and a fanatic who should be publically reprimanded and whose writings should be banned. Despite the negative reception in his homeland, Las Casas's influence had enduring political repercussions. His defense at Valladolid influenced Philip II's 1573 ordinance regulating the use of armed force during new conquests. His Brief Account was used as a source of anti-Spanish propaganda by the English at the end of the sixteenth century, and later by other countries including the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, France, and the United States. In 1898, prior to the Spanish-American War, a translation of the Brief Account (entitled An Historical and True Account of the Cruel Massacre and Slaughter of 20,000,000 People in the West Indies by the Spaniards) was published in New York in an effort to arouse negative sentiments against Spaniards in Cuba. Some modern Spanish historians still characterize Las Casas as delusional and dangerous, but many others contend that his often exaggerated testimony and somewhat dubious statistics do not significantly lessen the value of either his analyses or his humanitarian principles.

Sir Arthur Helps (essay date 1867)
SOURCE: A preface to The Life of Las Casas: "The Apostle of the Indies," George Bell and Sons, 1890, pp. v-xv.
[In the following excerpt, from a biography originally published in 1867, Helps presents a laudatory characterization of Las Casas as a historian, philanthropist, and a highly original thinker.]
The life of Las Casas appears to me one of the most interesting, indeed I may say the most interesting, of all those that I have ever studied; and I think it is more than the natural prejudice of a writer for his hero, that inclines me to look upon him as one of the most remarkable personages that has ever appeared in history. It is well known that he has ever been put in the foremost rank of philanthropists; but he had other qualifications which were also extraordinary. He was not a mere philanthropist, possessed only with one idea. He had one of those large minds which take an interest in everything. As an historian, a man of letters, a colonist, a missionary, a theologian, an active ruler in the Church, a man of business, and an observer of natural history and science, he holds a very high position amongst the notable men of his own age. The ways, the customs, the religion, the policy, the laws, of the new people whom he saw, the new animals, the new trees, the new herbs, were all observed and chronicled by him.
In an age eminently superstitious, he was entirely devoid of superstition. At a period when the most extravagant ideas as to the divine rights of kings prevailed, he took occasion to remind kings themselves to their faces, that they are only permitted to govern for the good of the people; and dared to upbraid Philip the Second for his neglect of Spanish and Indian affairs, through busying himself with Flemish, English, and French policy.
At a period when brute force was universally appealed to in all matters, but more especially in those that pertained to religion, he contended before Juntas and Royal Councils that missionary enterprise is a thing that should stand independent of all military support; that a missionary should go forth with his life in his hand, relying only on the protection that God will vouchsafe him, and depending neither upon civil nor military assistance. In fact his works would, even in the present day, form the best manual extant for missionaries.
He had certainly great advantages: he lived in most stirring times; he was associated with the greatest personages of his day; and he had the privilege of taking part in the discovery and colonization of a new world.
Eloquent, devoted, charitable, fervent, sometimes too fervent, yet very skilful in managing men, he will doubtless remind the reader of his prototype, Saint Paul; and it was very fitting that he should have been called, as he was, the "Apostle of the Indies."
Nothwithstanding our experience, largely confirmed by history, of the ingenuity often manifested in neglecting to confer honour upon those who most deserve it, one cannot help wondering that the Romish Church never thought of enrolling Las Casas as a saint, amongst such fellow-labourers as Saint Charles of Borromeo, or Saint Francis of Assisi.
His life is very interesting, if only from this circumstance, that, perhaps more than any man of his time, he rose to great heights of power and influence, and then, to use a phrase of his own, fell sheer down "into terrible abysses." His spirit, however, almost always rose indomitable; and the "abysses" did not long retain him as their captive.
Among his singular advantages must be mentioned his great physical powers, and tenacity of life. I do not remember that he ever mentions being ill. He exceeded in his journeyings his renowned master and friend, Charles the Fifth, and he lived fully as laborious a life as did that monarch.
When Charles, a youth of sixteen, came to the throne, Las Casas was a man of about forty, of great power and influence. He soon won the young king's attachment; during the whole of whose active life he worked vigorously with him at Indian affairs; and when, broken in health and in spirit, Charles retired to San Yuste, Las Casas was in full vigour, and had his way with Philip the...

Hi Bellas!
I wanted to show you pics of the Indian Wedding I did before I left for vacation. I finally had a chance to put them up. For this event, I was contacted by one of my YouTube viewers all the way in New Jersey. She wanted to get made over for her brother's wedding which was taking place in Atlanta. At the same time, I would be doing her mother and sister in law. This was a two look gig...one look for the day and another for the night. I had so much fun working with Gunjan and I wish her the best for her own upcoming wedding in Jersey!
Here is Gunjan's first look. Her priority was to even out her skin which had been going through a few tough months of breakouts. My cinema secrets came in handy for that! In terms of the colors, we pretty much wanted to do looks to compliments the gorgeous Saris they were wearing.
Since this was a daytime look, I went for a light pink with a little bit of maroon in the outer v for a bit of dimension. We went with a subtle mauve gloss to top it off.
I also did a look for Gunjan's Sister in Law. She actually had really nice skin. Her skincare regimen consists of the use of a lot of Indian herbs and spices mixed into a paste. I have seen this done before and it really does work! In terms of the colors, she favors a darker tone, so went for a berry shade apporpriate for day time. As for eyes, I coordinated the look to match her Maroon/Gold/Black Sari.
Lastly, I was able to do the mama. Gunjan informed me that she is pretty natural with only one preference - red lipstick! I focused on evening out her skin tone. On the eyes, I used very natural eyeshadows and emphasized the shape with individual lashes and kohl liner. On her lips, I applied MAC Brick Red lipliner and Dubonnet lipstick. I chose these colors since they're a little deeper and went well with her coloring.
Now comes the night looks! Gunjan's sister in law actually wanted something a little more subtle for the evening. I stuck with gold's and bronzes to coordinate with her Mustard Colored outfit. We replaced the strip lashes with individuals and again went for a berry lip with a pop of gold in the center.
For Gunjan's evening look, she definitely wanted to have a bit of teal on her eyes to match her gorgeous outfit. I combined the teal with gold eyeshadow and the same Red Cherry lashes. A shimmery pink gloss to complete the look. FYI, this look was a little on the dramatic side for Gunjan, so I easily toned it down by applying a neutral shadow like MAC's llama to a blending brush and just blended the shadows to soften the color.
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

As we head into year two of the great EMV migration, here's a look at where we've been — and where EMV will take us next.
Small to midsize retailers (SMRs) have an advantage — size — and agility and nimbleness to consistently meet consumer needs. Or do they? This report describes some of the common capabilities that retailers possess in order to create and capitalize on agility to outperform the competitive field. This year we ask several IDC Retail Insights experts what they recommend small to midsize retailers do in several key functional competency areas.
New roles-based research on the state of retail security reveals deep disconnects among CEOs, CIOs, and directors of LP/AP.
Planet Retail details how mobile technologies enable meaningful customer experiences and how retailers must evolve to keep pace.

SMRs must tout that they are on par with Tier 1 retailers regarding cost and innovation so they can adapt as the customer evolves.
While evaluating company culture, I realized that to significantly impact loss and improve profits, we needed to do a better job of engaging associates from day one. After all, it's not Human Resources' job to convey the mission of Asset Protection to the entire organization. I also realized that I needed to move our focus from reacting to scenarios that caused loss to preventing them altogether.
The rate of change in the retail industry is astonishing, as organizations strive to keep pace with omni-channel selling, personalization, and demand for an enhanced in-store customer experience. Retail technologies are evolving at a similarly rapid pace, making it possible to do more than ever with the masses of business and customer data being collected every day.
It's time to challenge retail leadership. We talk about new customer experiences, equipped associates, and commerce anywhere, anytime. The truth is retail is run by old thinking and old metrics. The new entrepreneurial thinking wants to create a company from an idea, sell it, and move on. That difference between the old and new thinking in business creates a gap in retail leadership that will continue to get wider.
At the NRF BIG Show this January, we guarantee you won't be able to swing your show bag in a circle without hitting a vendor touting its IoT (Internet of Things)-enabled widget. The IoT has quickly moved from a futuristic concept to a worn-out buzzword in the retail industry — so quickly, in fact, many merchants haven't had the time to fully grasp what the IoT is, much less why its important to the future of retail.
The move from analog to digital video surveillance technology has changed the playing field for Loss Prevention. Once independent silos of operation, LP's primary shrink fighting tools now share the corporate network. And like every other department system, they rely on IT to allocate bandwidth and storage and provide maintenance and support. This could lead to tension as each department fights to receive a bigger piece of the technology pie.
It's a jungle out there and retailers are in a fight for survival of the fittest—just ask some of the casualties. This isn't fear mongering. It is a retail reality being driven by table stakes set by the likes of Amazon.
In a world where retailers are losing $77 million in revenue per day due to eCommerce fraud globally, you better have the right fraud prevention strategy in place if you expect to survive. But should you use a third-party fraud management solution or build your own fraud team in-house?
The ball has dropped, the confetti has fallen, and the New Year has officially been ushered in. With 2017 on the horizon, it's time to look to the future. What does the future hold for retail? Let's take a look at what a few of our colleagues have to say.
Ivan Matkovic, founder and CEO of Spendgo, shares the secrets to his company's 100% month-over-month growth and offers advice other startups – and industry veterans alike – can profit from.
2017 is shaping up to be a BIG year for sales and use tax. It should come as no surprise that 2017 will be a year of change. While what's emerged from our recent presidential election will continue to take center stage, changes to sales tax are making their own waves and reshaping the way companies in many industries manage their business. Once again, we created a guide that highlights many of the big changes in the works, from new taxes on soda to untapped revenue streams from marijuana sales and more.

For your managers, this means the confidence of having the right information in the right context.

Radial's technical, powerful omnichannel solutions connect supply and demand through efficient fulfillment and transportation options, intelligent fraud, payments, and tax systems and personalized customer care services.
The CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas typically serves as a precursor to the consumerist technologies that will filter into enterprise retail—and therefore be on full display at the NRF BIG Show—by the following year. So it goes that the virtual and augmented reality demonstrations that stole the show at CES 2016 last January were spiffed up with an enterprise twist and littered throughout the Javits Center at the NRF event last week.
I've written a couple of recent columns about the potential Trump effect on trade and taxes for U.S. retailers. These are topics that you should be on top of. Despite the fact that they're out of your immediate control, you can, and of course should, make your voice heard. In the NRF and RILA, the retail industry has a solid lobbying presence in D.C. The strong representation of a collective industry is prerequisite to influence. If you don't like what you see coming, join them, and fight city hall.
Welcome to 2017. We hope Innovative Retail Technologies subscribers have their best, most profitable year yet. We're kicking off 2017 by announcing the Winners and Finalists of our inaugural Retailer Innovation Awards. We're delighted to announce that 27 retailers have been awarded across the categories of Omni-Channel Retailing, In-Store Operations, Workforce Management, Customer Engagement, and Loss Prevention.
Taken at face value, there's really nothing special about the word, innovation. Merriam-Webster defines it as the introduction of something new, or a new idea, method, or device. New doesn't necessarily translate to good or better, and by that definition, technology innovation in retail is something of a commodity. Silicon Valley is brimming with it. It's bubbling and oozing out of so-called "retail innovation labs" in merchant headquarters from New York to San Francisco. In short order, we'll see hundreds of innovations under one roof at the NRF BIG show.
I make a good part of my living talking to retail professionals about their IT and operations initiatives. Over the years, I've enjoyed hundreds, if not thousands of interviews with retail execs. Whenever we're discussing projects that involved specific retail solutions providers and vendors, I'm sure to ask those execs how their relationships with those vendors came to pass.

Our research team focuses on understanding the genetic changes in cancer and how these genetic changes affect cancer behavior. We have a particular focus on brain cancers, although we study many types of cancer. All our projects involve collaborations with multiple other groups at the DFCI, Broad Institute, and multiple other institutions.
We have undertaken a variety of genomic approaches to profiling large numbers of cancers, including the use of SNP arrays, expression arrays, and sequencing. We have also developed several computational approaches to understand these data.
For copy-number changes, which are some of the most frequent somatic genetic events in cancer, we developed an approach (GISTIC, for Genomic Identification of Significant Targets In Cancer) that simultaneously identifies those events that are most likely to drive cancer development and profiles individual specimens for the set of events they have undergone. We have used this approach to identify new oncogenes in several cancer types, including lung, esophageal, and colorectal cancers. We published an analysis of over 3000 cancer copy-number profiles in 2010, which is one of the most-cited publications in cancer from that year. This study identified two new amplified oncogenes (MCL1 and BCL2L1) and showed both lineage-specific genetic events and events that were shared across many cancer types. We have also used this approach to identify prognostic indicators in endometrial cancers and predictors of pathway dependency several cancer types, including glioblastoma and renal cancer.
We have performed integrated genomic analyses across multiple datasets. For example, we have integrated copy-number data with functional screens to identify novel vulnerabilities associated with genomic losses in cancer.
We have performed high-throughput sequencing analyses of several cancer types. For example, we found mutations in SMO and AKT1 in meningiomas, which may serve as therapeutic targets in these diseases. We have also found rearrangements of MYBL1 in pediatric low-grade gliomas.

I'm Back!
It's great to be back! Thanks for sticking with me on my blog while I was away for about a week on vacation. The cruise was great! My BF and I definitely plan on doing it again. We did a lot of fun stuff...snorkeling, lying on the beach, taking a crazy scooter ride across the island, dancing it up at Senor Frog's...it was a blast! Unfortunately, on the last leg of the cruise I caught the flu! Now, it's not a big surprise that I got sick, but I was sick for real on the last part. I had a fever, body aches, sore throat, the works. Luckily, I had some time over the weekend to stay in and recover.
Meanwhile, laptop update. The BF has managed to get my laptop up and running again. It's able to log-on but the internet won't work still because of the virus. Keep your fingers crossed, but I hope to have it up and working enough for me to have a video up this week and hopefully I'll be able to recover some pictures of reviews that I've been holding off on.
Meanwhile, stay tuned for tomorrow's post. I plan on reviewing Jan Marini's new face primer and giving one away as well!
Ciao Bellas!

Qualcomm Is Surest Bet in the Mobile Market
However, with each passing quarter, it's evident that Qualcomm is winning its "internal" battles by a greater margin over Intel (INTC) , than say, Samsung is outgaining Apple in units sold. This means that so long as the mobile devices race continues, Qualcomm is the surest bet in this unreliable sector. And if Q1 earnings were any indication, this chip giant is not done rewarding investors.
The company was coming off an excellent Q4 during which profits surged 20% and revenue advanced 18%. But Qualcomm managed to blow these numbers away. For the period ending in December, the chip giant posted net income of $1.91 billion, up 36% year-over-year and 50% sequentially.
Revenue rose 29% year-over-year to $6.02 billion. This was good enough for a 24% sequential improvement. Likewise, EPS was impressive, arriving at $1.09 per share, up 35% year-over-year and 49% sequentially. Chip revenue rose 34% with no change in shipments and ASPs (average selling prices.)
There was a 22% increase in license revenue with a 6% increase in ASPs. However, the most impressive aspect was, aside from dominating chip sales, Qualcomm also made more money during the quarter. Not only did gross margins advance by 20 basis points, but it bested Street estimates by more than one point.
By contrast, Texas Instruments (TXN) just posted revenue of $2.98 billion -- down 12% sequentially and down 13% year-over-year. Worse, this marked the fifth consecutive quarter of declining revenue. And the company is not expecting much sequential improvement as it issued revenue guidance that represents 6% decline.
This means that Texas Instruments expects to continue to lose market share not only from Qualcomm, but also Intel, which seems to be on a verge of a comeback after posing Q4 revenue of $13.477 billion that just barely missed estimates by less than 1%. Considering Intel's recent seemingly dysfunctional operation, this qualified as a win.
Then again, this further highlights the dominance of Qualcomm as the company continues to confound skeptics. As noted, one of Qualcomm's advantages is that it is one of Apple's major suppliers. But, ahead of the report, there were concerns about Apple's supply chain issues.
Plus, that Apple didn't woo the Street with its Q1 earnings results, there were many who rushed to proclaim the end of Qualcomm's stellar growth. That was not the case. The company was still able find growth while the rest of the sector suffered demand hardships.

NMU eyes a move up GLIAC standings
MARQUETTE – The sixth-place Northern Michigan University women's basketball team has a chance to move up in the GLIAC North standings this week with a 3 p.m. showdown at fifth-place Northwood on Saturday in downstate Midland.
First, however, the Wildcats (9-7 overall, 6-6 in GLIAC) must dispatch Upper Peninsula rival Lake Superior State at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Sault Ste. Marie before taking a crack at the Timberwolves (9-9, 7-5). The Lakers (5-11, 4-8) are last in the North.
Northern nearly caught the Timberwolves a week ago at home after defeating Saginaw Valley State, 67-57, only to fall to Wayne State, 63-59.
Northwood bounced back from two losses two weeks ago to rout Ferris State, 70-46, and beat Grand Valley State, 74-65, last week. NMU lost to both FSU and GVSU two weeks ago.
Sophomores Lauren Gruber and Alyssa Colla continue to lead the Wildcats' offensive attack, with Gruber averaging 12.6 points per game and Colla posting 11.4 points per game.
NMU's leading rebounder, freshman Nea Makela at 5.7 boards per game, returned against SVSU and WSU, though she saw limited action after missing both games at Ferris and GVSU with a knee injury.
Makela played 19 minutes against SVSU, posting 10 points and five rebounds. She was held to 10 points and three rebounds in the loss to WSU.
The Timberwolves have three players averaging double figures. Senior Rachel Church is posting 12.6 points per game, freshman Lauren Robak is scoring 10.6 points per contest and sophomore Gabrielle Rivette is averaging 10 points per game.
Marquette native and Marquette Senior High School grad Jade Ledy is averaging 2.5 points and 7.8 minutes per game as a sophomore for the Timberwolves.
LSSU is paced by senior Maria Blazejewski, who averages 17 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.
Former Westwood standout Megan Manninen, a Laker freshman, is averaging 2.4 points and 16.6 minutes per game.

President Barack Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon held a bilateral meeting at the White House on March 3, 2011. After the meeting, the counterparts held a joint press conference, where they discussed the partnership between the United States and Mexico. President Obama also addressed the situation in Libya.
President Obama said, "...[T]he relationship between the United States and Mexico isn't measured just in the partnership between two Presidents. It's evident every day in the strong bonds between our two societies. It's the thousands of people who work together, at every level -- federal, states and community levels -- to keep our citizens safe, to keep our economies growing. It's the tens of thousands of students and teachers and researchers in exchanges between our schools and our universities.
"It's the one million people who cross our shared border every day -- tourists and business people -- sustaining one of the largest trading relationships in the world. And it's our families and our friends -- the many Americans living in Mexico, and the tens of millions of Mexican Americans who make outstanding contributions to this country every single day.
"As I said, we're also global partners. As part of the G20, we're advancing the global economic recovery, and I look forward to visiting Mexico when President Calderon hosts the G20 next year. Together, we've responded to the earthquake in Haiti, and we're securing the world's vulnerable nuclear materials. I especially want to commend President Calderon for Mexico's successful leadership of the Cancun Conference, including progress toward a Green Fund that he himself helped to get started and champion and which will help developing countries adapt to climate change.
"Most recently, our governments have spoken out forcefully for the human rights of the Libyan people, and Mexico played a leading role at the United Nations in suspending Libya from the Human Rights Council.
"President Calderon, this not only reflects our commitment to the shared values of freedom and justice and rule of law. It's also another example of Mexico's global leadership -- as you said in your address to our Congress last year -- that "Mexico is standing tall" and ready to take its "rightful place in the world.""It is this appreciation of the great bonds between Americans and Mexicans, and the values and responsibilities that we hold in common that allowed us to make progress once again today.
"We're working to expand the trade that creates jobs for our peoples. Remember, Mexico is the second largest market for American exports. It supports some one million American jobs. And our exports to Mexico are growing faster than they are with the rest of the world.
"So we're moving ahead with plans for a 21st century border so people and goods can cross securely and efficiently. We're working to coordinate and streamline regulations and get rid of unnecessary trade barriers to make it easier to do business together. We're making new investments in clean energy partnerships, including green buildings and smart grid technologies. And based on negotiations so far, I'm hopeful that we can conclude an agreement by the end of the year to develop new sources of energy in the Gulf of Mexico.
"I'm especially pleased to announce that, after nearly 20 years, we finally have found a clear path to resolving the dispute over trucking between our two countries. I thank President Calderon and his team -- as well as my Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood, and our U.S. Trade Representative, Ambassador Ron Kirk -- for reaching this proposed agreement. I look forward to consulting with Congress and moving forward in a way that strengthens the safety of cross-border trucking, lifts tariffs on billions of dollars of U.S. goods, expands our exports to Mexico, and creates job on both sides of the border.
"We're also deepening our cooperation against the drug cartels that threaten both our peoples. As I've said before, President Calderon and the Mexican people have shown extraordinary courage in the fight for their country. Tens of thousands of Mexicans -- innocent citizens and dedicated security forces -- have lost their lives. I have reaffirmed to President Calderon that in this cause, Mexico has a full partner with the United States. Because whether they live in Texas or Tijuana, our people have a right to be safe in their communities.
"So we are continuing to speed up the delivery of equipment and training that our Mexican partners need to keep up this fight. As President Calderon cracks down on money laundering in Mexico, we're putting unprecedented pressure on cartels and their finances here in the United States. And we thank our Mexican partners for their close cooperation following the murder of one of our immigration and customs agents, Special Agent Jaime Zapata.
"I reiterated that the United States accepts our shared responsibility for the drug violence. So to combat the southbound flow of guns and money, we are screening all southbound rail cargo, seizing many more guns bound for Mexico and we are putting more gunrunners behind bars. And as part of our new drug control strategy, we are focused on reducing the demand for drugs through education, prevention and treatment.
"We have also discussed immigration, an issue on which both countries have responsibilities. As I told President Calderon, I remain deeply committed to fixing our broken immigration system with comprehensive reform that continues to secure our borders, enforces our laws -- including against businesses that break the law -- and requiring accountability from undocumented workers. And we have to conduct this debate in a way that upholds our values as a nation of both laws and immigrants. So I'm eager to work with Republicans and Democrats to get this reform done, which is vital to the U.S. economy.
"Finally, I'm looking forward to receiving insights from the President as I prepare for my trip to Latin America this month, which will be an opportunity to strengthen our security cooperation throughout the region."
Before turning it over to Mexican President Calderon, President Obama addressed the situation in Libya. He said, "The United States, and the entire world, continues to be outraged by the appalling violence against the Libyan people. The United States is helping to lead an international effort to deter further violence, put in place unprecedented sanctions to hold the Qaddafi government accountable, and support the aspirations of the Libyan people.
"We are also responding quickly to the urgent humanitarian needs that are developing. Tens of thousands of people -- from many different countries -- are fleeing Libya, and we commend the governments of Tunisia and Egypt for their response, even as they go through their own political transitions. I have, therefore, approved the use of U.S. military aircraft to help move Egyptians who have fled to the Tunisian border to get back home to Egypt. I've authorized USAID to charter additional civilian aircraft to help people from other countries find their way home, and we're supporting the efforts of international organizations to evacuate people as well.
"I've also directed USAID to send humanitarian assistance teams to the Libyan border, so that they can work with the United Nations, NGOs and other international partners inside Libya to address the urgent needs of the Libyan people.
"Going forward, we will continue to send a clear message: The violence must stop. Muammar Qaddafi has lost the legitimacy to lead and he must leave. Those who perpetrate violence against the Libyan people will be held accountable. And the aspirations of the Libyan people for freedom, democracy and dignity must be met."

Today, I brewed up all the rest of the imperial pearl, bulk brewed for the thermos. Done this way, it reminded me a bit of the Hankook oolong tea, deep and oxidized and sweet and fruity, with hints of the bitterness that I find in C-T-C assam teas, but only hints--just little reminders that it could bite back if not treated with respect. And the interesting flavor--anise plus clove but less spicy and plummier than that--or maybe prune-ier?--held beautifully for several hours. A very interesting tea! I'm not sure why I stopped with it during the tasting--now I'm liking it more.
I can't say anything about the brewing conditions because it was very casually bulk brewed in the kamjove, kettle set to 185, but I can say that it did admirably under these conditions. I'll try some of it for a change when I make an order--and I will be making an order from these folks, when I drink my present stock down a bit.

In short: Tough climbingDate of review: September 2, 2007
In short: Tough tough toughIn full: My 1st 10 miler and a hard one at that! Really pleased with myself for getting round as the 1st 4 miles are all uphill. Scenery was wonderful & marshalls very encouraging! People very friendly & 1 lady even gave me some of her drink as I was flagging a little by mile 9!! Thanks to her I got round in 1 hour 41 mins- didn't think I'd do it in under 2 hours as new to this running game. Definately do it again next year, but will have to practice my hills!!Date of review: September 10, 2006
In short: scenic road race,well organised and good atmosphereIn full: really enjoyed this race through lovely countryside.Not as hilly as I'd remembered,but it was very windy and exposed on the top of the hills.Well marshalled and all encouraging.Nice baseball cap n tee-shirt to finishDate of review: September 7, 2006
In short: Excellent raceIn full: Really enjoyed this race. Hard but well worth it for the views. Well organised and friendly marshalls. Nice T shirt and cap.Date of review: September 4, 2006
In short: Tough, tough, tough and toughIn full: As a first 10 miler I expected it to be tough and it didn't dissapoint. Miles 2 - 3 are grim, 3 - 4 are little better, who ordered the 30 MPH winds ???? then the knee shattering 5m downhill section and the sting in the tail, the last 1.5m UPHILL. Many on the 8 - 9 MPH pace fell foul of the last hill. Will be back and will crack it without walking ! Overall, very good, well organised, uplifting.Date of review: September 4, 2006
In short: Again, the Hills got me, prefer up and down than up up up up up and downDate of review: September 4, 2006
In short: Very tough - but the views are well worth it!In full: Hard going for the first 3 miles or so but what fantastic views when you reach the top!! Very well organised. I was constantly aware of vehicles patroling along the route including medical vehicles which was very reassuring that we were being well looked after. The marshalls were fantastic with their encouragement and it was a great atmosphere at the end. Good quality t-shirt and cap. Really felt like I'd done some serious exercise at the end!Date of review: September 4, 2006
In short: I had forgotten how hard this one was!In full: I ran this last year but had forgotten about the hills !It is tough for the first 4 miles and the wind didn't help. I found the last mile the toughest as it was a slight incline into a strong headwind. I was a minute down on last year and I blame it on that last mile!That aside I enjoyed the race and like the t-shirt and cap at the finish.I'll be back!!Date of review: September 4, 2006
In short: If you don't like hills- maybe you'd better think this one through!In full: With many people in the running club I go to running this one, I thought that I'd give this one a go- and I'm glad I like hill running! It's true what everybody else says- the third mile is an absolute killer- and every time you turn a corner, there's another hill section! But believe me, it's worth it for the fantastic views of the countryside at the top of the hill- very nice!- and the downhill section really helps. A difficult one for PB (I think), because it's basically up/downhills, which can screw up your pacing and timing. Great t-shirt though, marshalls really positive and helpful, good factilities and a great t-shirt memento. Bring on next year's run!Date of review: September 4, 2006
