Walter Lippmann Letter to June Bingham
New York Herald Tribune
3525 Woodley Road, NW
Washington 16, D.C.
January 19, 1969
Mrs. Jonathan Bingham
5000 Independence Avenue
Riverdale 71, New York
Dear Mrs. Bingham:
That is a very good letter, but I suppose it was not published, because of the rule not to print let-
ters about articles written by columnists.
I am glad that you are writing about Niebuhr. I rate him in the very highest rank of thinkers produced in this country during this century.

If we were going to make a blueprint for how to clean house in the offices of Berea, I have to say that what The Big Show has done so far is encouraging.
I know its cool to bitch, whine and be skeptical because we have gone through this so many times. But maybe, just maybe the way its getting done this time shows why it didn't work all the other times? The San Fransisco Way (Policy/Palmer), the Dallas Way (Butchum/Campo), the Raven Way (Savage) and the Patriot Way (Crennel/Mangini).
Now we have the Eagle Way with another rookie HC. AUUGHHH!. How is this any different? Same song, different names? I don't think so. The Process is gone - and in its place, The System. Holmgren, Heckert, Haskell, Jauron and Rhodes are the most experienced group we have seen guiding our team - and it isn't even close.
Bringing in Cowher, Fox or Gruden was the sexy pick. Shurmur is the least exciting hire of the bunch. The thing that encourages me is how he fits within the whole. He joins a system founded on success, with multiple people that are very experienced and successful in their specialty.
Shurmur is not going to mess with the defense as Butch, Romeo and Mangini did. Jauron and Ray Rhodes are in charge of it and will work with Heckert to build within The System. Shurmur also will be amenable to listen to Holmgren and Haskell, and is likely well-versed in The System already.
2011 is going to be one long pre-season for 2012 and beyond. For those that lament not firing Mangini a year earlier and getting it over with, waiting a year gives us one more Heckert draft class to work with and pushes back expectations of a playoff-caliber team another year as well.
Holmgren/Heckert had an entire year to analyze both the players and the coaching staff to see whether they would be a good fit for The System as well.
It's pathetic to feel this way yet again, but it feels like the soldiers are finally paving the roads with stone instead of throwing straw on top and mucking ahead.
2011 and 2012 draft classes after a rebuild = HUGE.

Brain Tumor
The Brain Tumor Program is a multidisciplinary group dedicated to the care of patients with primary brain tumors, brain metastases, recurring brain tumors, and neurological complications of cancer. It is the only multidisciplinary consortium providing comprehensive brain cancer care in southern New England and has gained regional and national recognition.
The physicians of the Brain Tumor Program offer a wide spectrum of advanced strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of brain cancer including microsurgical tumor removal, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, specialized genomic profiling, image-guided stereotactic techniques, 3D conformal radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery (gamma knife), and novel, targeted chemotherapies. Our program also offers drug delivery via the non-invasive device Optune. It is a portable delivery system designed to allow patients to go about their daily activities while receiving treatment. Optune can only be prescribed by physicians who have completed a certified training course provided by its developer, Novocure. The Brain Tumor Program is comprised of the departments of Neurosurgery, Neurology, Medical Oncology, Therapeutic Radiology, Neuropathology, and Neuroradiology. A dedicated patient coordinator facilitates patient appointments and communication, coordinates services, and supports patients and their families.
In addition to novel treatments, the physicians of the Brian Tumor Program conduct clinical trials through Yale Cancer Center for patients with recurring tumors. New trials are also available using immunotherapy treatments.
The expertise of the Brain Tumor Program covers all of the components critical to managing patients with brain tumors: comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis, genomic profiling, leading edge treatment options, thorough follow-up, and psychosocial support. Patients are welcome whether they are newly diagnosed or have already received extensive treatment; patients in need of second surgeries or follow up biopsies are also consulted.
Inquiries from referring physicians, patients, or their families are handled by an experienced patient coordinator. The coordinator ensures that appropriate appointments are made quickly. New patients with brain tumors are usually seen within a couple of days. The patient coordinator also acts as the patient's interface with the various medical specialists who play integral roles in each treatment plan.
Neuro-oncology surgeons, radiation oncologists, neuroradiologists, medical oncologists, neurologists, neuropathologists, and others meet weekly at a Tumor Board Conference to arrive at the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient. Because of the Yale Cancer Center's research and teaching mission, the program members are well acquainted with the most advanced treatment methods. Patients benefit from that knowledge and from specialized resources, such as a dedicated neurological intensive care unit and the latest imaging technologies.
Physicians of the Brain Tumor Program maintain a close working relationship with physicians practicing in the community. Patient referrals are welcome. Referring physicians are provided with regular reports on diagnostic findings and treatment recommendations for their patient.

Remember, the last time TT took a 2nd round WR who was relatively unheralded, he picked Greg Jennings – a guy most Packer fans are certainly glad we have.
Remember that Jordy Nelson is a 2nd rnd pick in leiu of a 1st round pick. I woundn't make the same same comparison to Greg Jennings. Moreover, Jennings had much better quickness and speed than what this guy is credited for.
You Packer fans are gonna love this kid. He's as down-home great guy as you'll find as well as being a great receiver. If you're a parent, I'd go out and buy a Nelson Packers jersey for your kid. He'll be a great role model for ANY youngster that loves football. He has the same values and work ethic that Favre had. It's a shame they'll never be on the same field. GREAT PICK for Green Bay! Good luck, Jordy, the K-State Wildcats here are gonna miss you!

In short: Best organised race I have run so farIn full: Really good course, pb'd by more than 9 minutes, 3 and half year old pb too! I've done several much bigger races and this was by far the best organised especially at the start and finish. The support through the town and the villages was excellent. Loved the tubs of jelly babies on offer in the villages. Can't wait for next year!Congratulations to the organisers, volunteers and the people of Fleet and surrounding villages.Date of review: March 22, 2011
In short: Popular nice raceDate of review: March 22, 2011
In short: This was my first time in this race. Everything went smoothly from car parking to post-finish line refreshment. No stressful scrum at start, good friendly atmosphere, well marshalled and good support along the route. I would do it again.Date of review: March 22, 2011
In short: Slick event with great local support.Date of review: March 22, 2011

In short: Superb organisation, great support, some very fast runners - not me though ;(Date of review: March 22, 2011
In short: Fantastic atmosphere and well organisedIn full: Last year I was just watching but soon after got the running bug and this year was part of it. My second half after doing my first last summer and took 10mins off my time so was thrilled. Fantastic atmosphere through the town, really enjoyed going through twice. Loved the finish with the down hill just before entering the finish area. Rural part was a hard slog. Hope to be part of this for years to come.Date of review: March 22, 2011
In short: A challenging run in the 'shires In full: First time at Fleet but i know the area and had driven the course, great set up at the start, minor whinge is people could go where they wanted and there were way too many slower peopleup front. Course was challenging with lots of hills and undulations but nothing too knackering. Route was great with a couple of loops through the town and then out into the surrounding countryside which i love, finish was fab and just generally a really nice quick race. Good medal as well and the marshalls and supporters were fabulous. Seemed to have a lot of marshals on the way so thanks to them, always nice to see their smiling faces. Good for a challenging run but also good for novices as there was a nice mix of people. Lots of pbs this year (and for me), perfect running weather, just an ace way to spend a morning!

Accurate recovery of dense 3D shape of deformable and articulated objects from monocular video sequences is a challenging computer vision problem with immense applicability to domains ranging from virtual reality, animation or motion re-targeting to image guided surgery.
Rigid scene capture is a mature field now and there exist algorithms to reconstruct indoor scenes using a single camera in real time. Multi-view geometry has also evolved to facilitate city scale reconstructions with reasonable accuracy. However, the rigidity assumption is too restrictive and interesting real scenes are often dynamic.
In this seminar I will present a method to reconstruct highly deforming smooth surfaces densely, using only a single video as input, without the need for any prior models or shape templates. I will focus on the well explored low rank prior for deformable shapes and propose its convex relaxation to introduce the first variational energy minimisation approach to non-rigid reconstruction.
I will argue for the importance of long range 2D trajectories for several vision problems and explain how subspace constraints can be used to exploit the redundancy present in the motion of real scenes for dense video registration.
I will also advocate the use of GPU-portable and scalable energy minimisation algorithms to progress towards practical dense non-rigid motion capture from single video in the presence of occlusions and illumination changes.
Finally, I will talk about our multiple model fitting framework for piecewise rigid scene modelling and show its application to dense multi-rigid reconstruction.

David Wagner falls in the gold medal match
LONDON - On the hottest day of the London 2012 Paralympic Games, Americas David Wagner (Hillsboro, Ore.) , the No. 1 seed in the quad singles division, won a silver medal bringing his Paralympic collection to five. Wagner fought well, but fell to the hands of the No. 2 seed Noam Gershony in 56 minutes 6-3, 6-1.
Unfortunately for Wagner, Gershony played the match of his life on the biggest stage he's ever seen, outplaying Wagner with sizzling down the line winners that left Wagner with no options. Gershony himself was surprised by the win, thinking it would be near impossible to overtake the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games silver medalist and Beijing 2008 bronze medalist.
"I don't think David brought himself to the match today,"Gershony said. "David is an amazing player and he is dangerous, focused and can always come back. I can't believe I took it."
A true sportsman, Wager was quick to praise his opponent rather than make excuses for the loss.
"I'm playing against a guy who is a great player," Wagner said. "He is physically strong. He is able to manipulate the ball a lot more than the average player. I threw what I had at him, gave it my best chance and he just returned better and served better today."
Despite his on court smart sense, and the top ranked player in the world, the 38-year-old Wagner admitted winning doesn't come easy against the younger generation.
"Sure, I think that happens in every sport no matter what sport, no matter what level," he said. "You can only stay on top for so long. There is only one person on top and everybody wants that spot."
Wagner should be proud. With a third consecutive gold medal in quad doubles with Nick Taylor, Wagner leaves London as the U.S.'s most decorated quad ever to play wheelchair tennis, winning six medals in three Games.

Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday said that sales of its Xbox 360 video game console has set its new own record in terms of sales over Black Friday weekend in the U.S.. According to Microsoft, the company improved last year's result by 25% and the console outsold its main rival Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.'s PlayStation 3 by 3:1 ratio, which may mean that sales of the PS3 declined year-over-year for the first time in 2008.
"We entered into the Black Friday sales period with cautious optimism, knowing that dollar for dollar, Xbox 360 offers more social entertainment value than any other console on the market. Record Black Friday sales in the U.S., coupled with our existing global install base of 25 million and an online community of more than 14 million Xbox Live members, have laid the groundwork for continued global sales momentum in 2009," said Don Mattrick, senior vice president of the interactive entertainment business at Microsoft.
Sales of Xbox 360 video game console were 25% higher compared to Black Friday in 2007, according to Microsoft. The world's largest software maker confirmed once that 310 thousand of X360s were sold for the week of Black Friday back in 2007, which means that sales of the console might reach approximately 387.5 thousand of units for the week.
According to Microsoft, the Xbox 360 outsold the PlayStation 3 by 3:1 ratio, which may mean that only about 129 thousand of PS3s were sold through over Black Friday week/weekend. Last year Microsoft revealed that the Xbox 360 outsold its arch-rival by 2:1 ratio, which would result in 155 thousand of PlayStation 3 consoles sold through over the Black Friday week.
According to NPD Group, about 770 thousand of Microsoft Xbox 360s were acquired by end-users in November '07 in the USA, whereas Sony managed to sell-through 466 thousand of PS3s in America. The reason behind the skyrocketing sales of Sony's console back last year was price-cut, whereas this year the company decided not to slash price on its console.
Sales of Sony PlayStation 3 game consoles have been increasing year-over-year every month in 2008 in the U.S., whereas sales of the Xbox 360 stagnated in certain months. Still, the latter has certain advantages at the moment: $199 price-point for the entry-level machine as well as strong popular titles, such as "Gears of War 2", "Fable II" and "Lips".
If, as last year, sales over Black Friday weekend represent 40% of Xbox 360 sales for November and Microsoft will be lucky enough, then sales of the console will hit about 970 thousand of units for the month in the USA.
Meanwhile, if the information about market performance of the PS3 spread by Microsoft is correct, then sales of the device may drop rather tangibly year-over-year. Still, this is unlikely to happen, considering overall market trends.
Market performance of Nintendo Wii, which has been outshipping the PS3 and X360 combined for months, over Black Friday weekend is unclear.

Having limited access to the great variety of beers available to others north of me, my means of comparison are thereby also limited. That being said I agree with cosgrojo, it would be darn tough for me to identify one beer or another, but I don't have an educated palate perhaps that others possess when it comes to beer in pizza crust. I also find the addition of white wine or vinegar to have a pleasing effect if not taken to extremes.

"And here we go" ........ Said the Joker.
I made a pizza with the dough i made with the Red Hook ESB Beer. in order, I cut the large dough ball into three. and them made three smaller dough balls, of which i used only one so far. Then pressed out the dough and put it on my pizza screen.

Added Pizzaiolo Pizza Sauce by Stanislaus, added Kirkland Signature Cheese which is made for Costco by Sorrento. Added Carando Pepperoni, cooked Mayan Sweet onions and sliced Lindsay olives. I thought the crust turned out GREAT!!!. The crust was lighter and really did have more flavor. Specifically, it changed the texture of the dough, which is the REAL plus for me. I will make it this way again.
I actually had to use a fork in the cooking process to put down some bubbling in the pizza that took place as it cooked. However, it was well worth the effort.

By the way, Meatballs & Cosgrojo, I did pair the beer with the pizza that was made with the same beer, just like many of the restaurants ALREADY do. Also, I know a Pizzeria in my area that uses a different beer each month which is used in making their dough and serves that specific monthly selected beer with your order. They advertise the beer of the month as well with a banner. Like King Solomon said, "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiastes 1:9

Tom- there are places like you mention here as well... My focus is on liquids of many varieties, not just beer. My spin on the idea is a bit more broad spectrum. But thanks for the info! It's always good to know what's trending in other places.
The pizza looks delish. Temp and time?

Crosgrojo, I was just joking with you since you made the comment to meatballs:
I use my home oven preheated at 425 degrees and cook for 15 mins. Also, I am cooking my pizza on a pizza screen and the dough is hand pressed very thin.

RECAP: Pizza Beer Dough Recipe
2 cups of Pendleton POWER Flour
2 cups of Pendelton MONDAKO Flour
1 Teaspoon of Salt - mix the salt into the flour
I add these all together in a large metal bowl. (Most Pizzerias use either one or the other. i am mixing the two flours, since I have a 25 LB bag and a 32 lb bag that I need to use up before expiration dates.)
1 1/2 teaspoons of Quick Rise yeast
1 Tablespoon of white sugar
4.8 ounces of warm water
Mix all together in a separate cup and let set for 5 mins
7.2 ounces of Red Hook ESB (extra special bitter) Beer set aside by itself in a separate cup (it is recommended to let the beer come up to room temperature or even carefully heat it in a microwave oven)
Mix warm Water, Yeast, and Sugar blend into flour
Add a Tablespoon of Olive Oil to flour and continue to mix
Mix in the Red Hook ESB (Extra Special Bitter) Beer into the flour
I do not use a mixing hook. I mix and kneed the dough by hand since I am making a smaller batch for home use and not in a restaurant setting that might need to use 50 lbs of flour per day. (I mix, then kneed for about 5 to 10 mins, until it becomes one big dough ball.)
I then cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator over night for 24 hours or more.
After the overnight cold rise, I push down the dough and and shape it some more. Then I transfer the dough out of the bowl and into a gallon size plastic freezer bag and let it continue to cold rise.
Later in the day, when the dough rises more, I will make 3 smaller dough balls out of this one big dough ball. (I am using a 14" pizza screen to cook it on and I like the dough to be a THIN crust pizza, other wise i would only make 2 dough balls for a THICKER crust)
When I am ready to use each dough ball, I let them come up to room temperature, then I hand press the dough ball into a 14" pizza shape and place on the pizza screen.
I use my home oven preheated at 425 degrees and for 15 mins on a pizza screen.

Does your pizza friend charge a lot more for the pizzas made using beer in the dough? Using 60% beer would seem to be an expensive proposition. Or does he have an inexpensive source for the beer?

You are very knowledgeable about BEER, and I am not. What is the break down on Grolsch Beer and Hefeweizen Beer. It would seem that either of these would make a great dough? Would there be a problem to watch out for? etc... I value your thoughts on this! Thank you.

Well, Grolsch is a German Pils style beer, a lager. Hefe Weizen is a German Ale brewed with 50% malted wheat and a very, very funky yeast that produces banana and clove flavored compounds. Maintaining a balance between the clove (4-vinyl guaiacol) and the banana ester (Isoamyl acetate) is the hallmark of a good beer and dependent very much on fermentation temperature.
I would worry that the more volatile ester, the banana flavor, would blow off during cooking leaving the clove flavor out of balance, but this is a guess as I've never used a weizen in cooking before. It would be an interesting experiment as the beer is very flavorful and could contribute a very interesting character not found in other beers. I do know that Belgian beers that exhibit considerable phenols make excellent braises (Google: Carbonade). A Carbonade is to a Belgian what Coq au vin is to a Frenchman.
The Grolsch is much lighter in flavor than a Hefe Weizen and exhibits a very delicate balance between hops and malt (the sweetness in beer). The flavor contribution in cooking would mostly be in the sweetness of the malt and less of the ferment character as found in the Hefe Weizen. Actually, the delicate balance of Grolsch would mostly be lost in a pizza dough and could probable be duplicated with a much less expensive lager, say... Miller. But, please don't drink the Miller. Well, when I'm broke and looking for a buzz I do, but, Steel Reserve is actually more efficient and economical even, but I digress. I use Steel Reserve in my Chili, its my secret weapon in a heavy dish but the alcohol level puts it out in a dough.
Hope this helps,

Ron (Meatballs),
Tonight, I finished the last of my dough made with Beer. It was BETTER tasting the second day than the dough I used within the first 24 hours (from the same dough batch). So, I am definitely going to give my dough more time in the refrigerator before using it to make pizza.
Also, I was surfing the web tonight to see other recipes for Beer used in the making of pizza dough. (There is a lot of info out there.) In one of the recipe details, they suggested that you use Beer that has come up to room temperature. (I did not even think of this) Will this have any effect on the dough flavor? Does the Beer temperature really matter?? Do people ever drink Beer at room temperature to get more flavor? Again, my Beer knowledge is very limited. Thanks

Been busy with yard work the last few days, sorry.
There are no beers that are intentionally drank at room temperature that I can think of, but, cellar temperature (54 deg. F) is appropriate for most ales. English ales, commonly referred to as Real Ale in that country, are consumed at 54 def. F exclusively and are also of very low carbonation (1 atm. CO2 at 54 deg. F). This is the warm, flat, English beer people often refer to. I'm actually a bit of an expert on conditioning this style of beer and enjoy it immensely. Beers in widget cans try to emulate this product, somewhat successfully.
As to warming beer for dough use, absolutely. You would want to treat the beer used in dough making the same as you would the water component. My dough recipe calls for a finished temperature at around 85 deg. F for which I add water (under normal conditions) around 112 to 115 deg. F. Warming the beer in the microwave (carefully) would be fine.
As to temperature affecting flavor...Its a huge deal. The general rule is that lagers which are fermented cold should be drank cold, around 40 deg. F. (lager initial fermentation temp is 50 F. with an extended "lagering" or storage phase at 38 to 40 F) Ales which are fermented warm (Fermentation around 68 F) should be drank warmer, that's where the 54 deg. F "cellar temperature" comes in to play. I use wine refrigerators to store my better ales, especially those that are aged. If a beer is too cold when poured, I'll wait, hands wrapped around the glass until it warms to the proper temperature (proper being where I like it). There are all sorts of exceptions the this rule but mostly its a good guide.
Try getting a quality Pale Ale from a good Microbrewery or Craft Brewery, put it in the fridge and let it get cold. Open the beer and pour it into a glass and take a sip. Note the flavors and the balance between the hops and malt and any other flavors present, esters from the fermentation, phenolic off tones etc. Now, take a critical taste every few minutes as the glass warms and you will notice a pronounced shift in the balance between sweet malt and hop flavors and expression of fermentation esters (fruity flavors). If you have a thermometer, take its temperature and see where you feel the balance of flavors is best. Also examine the aroma with the temperature changes.
Always drink a beer from a glass and never the bottle or can. The narrow mouth does not allow the aromas to be inhaled while drinking and throws the flavor profile off considerably, try it. Different beers require different glassware to maximize the drinking experience, look to the brewer for suggestions of glassware until you learn the differences...guess I better stop here. I can wax all day on this subject.

Thanks Ron for all the great Beer information. I tried the warm beer and i agree with you. Also, by letting the beer set aside longer, I noticed that the dough did not bubble up when cooking this time, but still had great flavor. Perhaps this is because some of the carbonation got a chance to escape.
I should probably save the following comments for another thread (and perhaps I will later), but I tried a whole milk DANISH style Mozzarella cheese on my dough made with the beer. I did this because I know of two different Pizzerias that say this type of cheese is what sets their pizza apart. One is by Sorrento and the other is by a company called Olympic. I did try the Olympic Danish Mozzarella. I purchased it at a local cheese shop. Although it does not say Olympic, it is Olympic Brand cheese. It might be that the distributor is under contract to sell only to restaurants and thus re-wrapped it with their label. Either way, it was a great way to top off my pizza dough made with extra ingredients. I will include some photos of the cheese.
This Cheese is a creamer tasting cheese. More so than even whole milk Mozzarella cheese. However, I must add that this DANISH whole milk mozzarella cheese is very expensive at $4.99 a pound. (I can buy 5 pounds of regular mozzarella cheese already shredded for 11.99 total) But i wanted to try it so much, I bought 5 pounds of the 10 pound block. What I liked about this particular Cheese Shop was that they cut the 5 pounds into 2 smaller blocks for me. This lets me shred the cheese easier.

here is the other DANISH style mozzarella cheese by Sorrento Cheese. i did not get to try this one yet, but it comes with good recommendation. I am guessing that the two are very close in taste and texture. I will let you know when I find out the price.

I got to try the Sorrento Gold Whole milk Danish Style Cheese today. Another Pizzeria in my area uses it. There are only 3 in the state of WA that i know of that use Danish Mozzarella. I think that it really does make a difference, but it gets expensive. I continue to use it at home with my beer dough for now. However, there are times that i like Fresh Mozzarella on pizza.

I am not sure what kind of style this Samuel Adams beer is suppose to be?? It has a sweet taste and the brewery says that it has a half pound of malt in each bottle, enough for a loaf of bread. (see attached photos) This is what caught my attention, so I am going to try it in my dough recipe. Your thoughts once again appreciated.
With a very limited release, 4 bottles (12oz ) costs me 10.99. If it wasn't for the dough experimenting, i would have passed on it.

I found some facts about this beer at the Samuel Adams website: check the Profile section
Also, I made dough last night with it. Can't wait to try it after two days in the refrigerator. Even though this beer is a deeper mahogany color, it did not discolor the dough. Just a very slight yellow color in the dough. This beer is very sweet so I am looking forward the pizza. Again, this is a very expensive beer to make your pizza with, but I just had to try it. I will post a photo when I make the pizza.

So far the dough is rising very well, even after only one day in the refrigerator. I will give it one more day in the refrigerator for flavor development. (2 days total) You can see in the pictures that the dough has a hint of yellow from the beer and some Olive Oil. I like to let them develop in a gallon size Zip Lock Freezer bag. (Although in the past, I used a metal bowl with plastic on top) I give each dough ball a very very light coating of olive Oil which will keep it from sticking to the bag and adds a hint more flavor. Each bag of dough will make 3 dough balls for three 14" pizzas. (six pizzas total for two bags) I placed a quarter next to the bags so you can see the size of the dough compared to the quarter. Also, took a photo of a single bag next to a quarter. Can't wait to make some pizza soon and see how this beer makes the dough taste.

So I guess you're wondering about the Doppelbock and what it is? Yes dopplebock, German for Double Bock, but what the hell is a bock and why double it? Well bock means goat in German. What goats have to do with beer is anybody's guess but... Its also the name of a high strength lager beer, thus the goat on the Sam Adams label. Now increase the strength of the high strength lager (but not really twice the strength of a bock), about 1 and 1/2 times the strength of a regular bock and call it a double bock. So your Double Bock is about 7 to 10% alcohol and a regular bock is about 6 to 7% alcohol.
So... A double bock is a corruption of the German Dopplebock, with nothing to do with goats but sharing the same name and is not really twice the strength of a regular bock...ok, there it is in a nutshell.
Bocks are know for their malty sweetness, but, beware, increased malty sweetness usually means increased bittering hops to balance the finish of the beer, so...a double bock, that is an American Doppelbock may be on the bitter side for culinary purposes. The original German Dopplebock is low in hop but Americans are crazy where hops are concerned and often over hop European sytles to appease the American craft beer drinking palate (hop-heads in the vernacular). But, if you have cooked with the beer and found no undue bitterness, then, its ok.
Bock and its attendant styles (Dopplebock, Maibock, Eisenbock and Traditional bock) are sort of winter warmer beers, big on the palate, malty, sweet and usually alcoholic. Not something to drink all night but one to have before bed or after a meal. Dobblebocks are traditionally named with "ator" on the end of the name, some famous ones...Optimator, Salvator, Celebrator...actually quite a list..I want to brew a South Alabama version "Alligator" Dopplebock and plan on doing so soon. The Dopplebock with a bite. I would consider bocks a good style to cook with but one to use caution on as the malt can be rather "thick" and American versions may be over hopped.
One of my favorite styles of beer....

Thanks again Ron for the amazing break down of this beer and now I understand why they have a Goat on the bottle. This beer worked well with the pizza dough and I found no undue bitterness in the dough taste. I think this beer works well and makes the dough a little sweeter. I made six pizzas for two different events and everyone liked how the pizza dough tasted.
I guess the question I have to ask myself is: "Does the price of the beer justify the dough taste". Personally I think it does for special occasions, but I do not see myself using this beer every time I make a pizza. The Red Hook ESB beer is priced much lower for my regular pizza making and produces very good results. I hope those reading this understand that every pizza is worth the effort, but my personal budget does not allow me to do this all the time.
Even the Danish Mozzarella Cheese is amazing, but that will also be for my special occasion events as well. (Again, a very expensive cheese ) However, I will continue to use Whole Milk Mozzarella every time. That is a must for me.
This has been fun and I recommend everyone trying Beer in your pizza dough making process at least one time. It really does make the dough that much better. (I am not the only one saying this either) Have fun experimenting with the many different beers, but avoid the really dark beers in this dough making process. Here are a few photos of the Pizza made with Samuel Adams Double Boch Beer.

With the on going Beer dough making experimenting, I tried what is know as a Brown Ale in making my dough. This beer is called "Moose Drool" and is made by the Big Sky Brewing Company in Missoula, Montana. While this is a very flavorful beer, it did not produce the same results as the Samuel Adams Double Boch or the Red Hook ESB beer. (the Samuel Adams Double Boch produced the best results, but costs the most per bottle)
The dough came out very well, but did not have the same flavor. Those who tried the pizza made the same comments to me. At this point, I am not going to try anymore Dark or Darker Beers. I am posting this comment to save anyone the time and trouble in your beer additions to the flour. I am sure there must be someone out there that will disagree with my findings, but I am going by what others that tasted the pizza told me as well.
Here are a few photos.

As you can see the dough did not change color that much, even though this is a Dark Amber colored beer.

I made a 10 inch pizza and them my usual 14 inch pizza. Again, the pizza was good, but the one made with the Red Hook ESB was very good, and the Samuel Adams Double Boch was the BEST.

Imagination Technologies Group, a leading developer of graphics processing technologies, said this week that had signed a license agreement with a "major international consumer electronics company", for a high-performance forthcoming member of Imagination's PowerVR SGX graphics processor family.
Neither exact terms of the deal nor the name of the partner were disclosed in ImgTec's press releases, however, according to rumours cited by EETimes web-site, the PowerVX SGX 550-series graphics technology will power the successor to Sony PlayStation Portable video game console, which may carry the name of "PlayStation Portable 2".
"Imagination expects that this significant agreement with the new partner will extend the reach of its PowerVR technology into another high-volume consumer device segment," a statement by the company reads.
Earlier this year Imagination signed a license agreement with another "major consumer electronics company" and it was speculated that the company was Apple.
The original PSP has proprietary graphics chip that features "Rendering engine", "Surface engine" as well as "3D curved surface" and "3D polygon" engines. It is important for Sony to maintain compatibility between PSP games and PSP2 console. However, since modern graphics technologies are very complex, the company may sacrifice that compatibility in favour of more advanced graphics processing technologies.
Under the terms of its licensing arrangements Imagination receives license fees, and royalty revenues on shipment of system-on-chips incorporating Imagination's intellectual property.
Imagination and Sony did not comment on the news-story.

I have been able to do that with it hard coded for just "Case A" but being able to have the choices for B to Z and beyond are proving to be a bit tricky. The templates for the various cases are diffrent depending on the case that is chosen (diffrent things pulling from the Db to make the PDF).

Any ideas on how to go about this would be appreciated.

Berkshire Shares Hit New Record As Buffett's Omaha Meeting Looms
Updated from 8:09 a.m. ET on May 2, with a preview of Berkshire Hathaway's first-quarter financial results and additional information throughout.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Berkshire Hathaway's
Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting, the "Woodstock for Capitalists" as Buffett has said, will provide investors context on the strength of the U.S. and global economic recovery, while also giving shareholders an update on the direction of America's fifth largest company by market capitalization.
Investors are likely to celebrate a 30% rise in the shares of Berkshire Hathaway to new record highs in the past year on gains in the company's $90-billion plus investment portfolio and earnings growth in operating units such as BNSF Railways, MidAmerican Energy and its insurance business, among over 80 subsidiaries.
Class-A shares of Berkshire Hathaway opened Friday trading above $163,000, a new record for the company.
The Berkshire celebration, however, will also carry somber undertones as investors seek clarity on succession plans for Warren Buffett, the 82-year old investor commonly known as the "Oracle of Omaha."
Particularly Scrooge-like Berkshire investors, may want to know who will succeed Buffett and how that will impact financial decisions such as returns of cash to shareholders by way of dividends and share buybacks, as has happened with Apple
For now, investors' eyes will be trained on Omaha, Neb., for Buffett's outlook on making investments in 2013, and any updates on how he plans to run Berkshire Hathaway in coming years.
"I'd be curious and I would hope we have a chance to hear more about Warren's appetite globally," Thomas Russo, a partner at Gardner, Russo & Gardner, says of his expectations heading into Berkshire's shareholder meeting.
Buffett detailed in Berkshire's annual shareholder letter that the company made about $10 billion in capital expenditures in the U.S. in 2012, 88% of the conglomerate's overall capex, amid rising expectations of economic recovery.
"We will keep our foot to the floor and will almost certainly set still another record for capital expenditures in 2013. Opportunities abound in America," Buffett wrote, in the shareholder letter.
"I am just curious why he has softened his hunt for global elephants," Russo said, highlighting Berkshire's lack of commentary or activity in international markets, in recent years.
Gardner, Russo & Gardner is Berkshire's tenth largest shareholder with a stake of nearly $800 million in the company's Class A shares and over $200 million of Class B shares, according to Bloomberg data. Russo says Berkshire holding's represent about 11% of the firm's assets.
On Wednesday, Berkshire said it would buy a remaining 20% stake in Israel-based IMC International Metalworking Companies for $2.05 billion. Berkshire took an 80% stake in the company at a valuation of $5 billion in 2005, and since then has enjoyed a surge in IMC's earnings.
"I think he will be willing to talk about big deals around the world," Whitney Tilson of Kase Capital said of Buffett's international deal making. "He is trying to replicate Iscar," added Tilson, referencing IMC.
After a February acquisition of Heinz
Recent acquisitions such as BNSF Railways, chemicals giant Lubrizol and Iscar, meanwhile, have helped Berkshire's post-crisis earnings growth and will continue to drive investor expectations for new share price records in 2013.
"Despite tepid U.S. growth and weakening economies throughout much of the world, our "powerhouse five" had aggregate earnings of $10.1 billion, about $600 million more than in 2011," Buffett wrote, referencing BNSF, Iscar, Lubrizol, Marmon Group and MidAmerican Energy. "Of this group, only MidAmerican, then earning $393 million pre-tax, was owned by Berkshire eight years ago."
Gelb will be among two analysts asking questions at Berkshire's shareholder meeting.
Shareholders are investing in Berkshire's ownership of operating businesses and the leverage that the company should get from the next five-to-10 years of economic improvement, according to William Smead, chief investment officer of Smead Capital, an investor in Berkshire's B-shares.
"I expect Mr. Buffett and Mr. Munger to share how undervalued they still think their stock is... I would love to get reinforced on that," Smead said.
The consensus among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters is for Berkshire Hathaway to report a first-quarter profit of $3.3 billion on revenue of $42.2 billion, compared to earnings of $3.0 billion on revenue of $39.2 billion in the first quarter of 2012.
Shares of Berkshire Hathaway have gained about 20% in 2013 and are within reach of all-time highs hit earlier in the year.

Sikorsky Inks $435 Million Deal for CH-53K Demonstrators
U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has issued a contract to Sikorsky valued at $435.3 million to build four new CH-53K test article aircraft, as the Navy's aviation branch prepares to launch the upgraded variant of the manufacturer's C-53 series transport helicopters.
The CH-53K is designed to carry up to 27,000 lbs (around 12,250 kg) over a range of 110 nautical miles under high-hot ambient conditions, nearly tripling the external load carrying capacity of the CH-53E Super Stallion, according to Frans Jurgens, a spokesperson for Sikorsky. The K variant is a fly-by-wire helicopter with three 7,500-shaft horsepower GE engines and will be the first of the CH-53 family to feature an all-composite airframe and composite rotor blades.
"It really is an all-new aircraft in a previous design," said Jurgens. "From the outside it will look like a CH-53, but the capability enhancements are phenomenal."
Sikorsky delivered the CH-53K ground test vehicle (GTV) to the U.S. Marines in December 2012. Photo courtesy of Sikorsky
NAVAIR issued the contract as part of $3.5-billion System Development and Demonstration (SDD) contract issued to Sikorsky in April 2006. The agreement calls for 17 percent of the work to take place in Stratford, Conn. and another 17 at the manufacturer's flight test facility in West Palm Beach, Fla., with 15 percent of the work in Wichita, Kan., 10 percent in Salt Lake City, Utah and a number of other locations contributing in the low single-digit percentages.
The first flight for the CH-53K test aircraft is scheduled for the end of 2014, with delivery of all four aircraft expected by 2017 and initial operational capability by 2019.

IL's 100th season of baseball, 1983
The Columbus Dispatch - April 03, 2012 06:39 AM
The Dispatch published this photo 29 years ago showing George Sisler Jr., general manager of the Columbus Clippers, modeling the old-style cap and displaying the commemorative patch "which will be features of all International League teams' uniforms for the IL's 100th season in 1983."
The Columbus Clippers will begin their season this Thursday (April 5, 2012) at home in Huntington Park vs. the Louisville Bats. The 2012 schedule is online here.
Back in 1983, the International League was getting ready for its 100th season of baseball. Highlights scheduled for that season were the IL All-Star game against the Cleveland Indians, fireworks nights, and two visits by the San Diego Chicken. The Clippers played their home games in Franklin County Stadium then (later renamed Cooper Stadium).
With Sisler at the helm, the Clippers became the model of a successful minor-league franchise. He died in 2006 at age 89.

Yves Lessard Chambly—Borduas, QC
Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from Alfred-Pellan who does an excellent job for his constituents in this House and at home, I am sure.
The question might surprise some people, those who think it goes without saying, and therein lies the nuance of my colleague's question. We always have to repeat this over and over. There is a world of difference between recognizing a nation in a motion and recognizing a nation de facto through actions. To date, we have seen nothing in this Parliament since the 2007 recognition that would suggest that the members who voted in favour of that motion would like to give it any concrete expression. One member was even honest enough to admit that he was against it. It was the member across the floor. We were insulted and angry, but at least he was honest and consistent. He has not changed his perspective. But what were the others thinking, those who voted in favour of it?

John Baird Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister of the Environment
Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I apologize to my colleague in the House of Commons.
Given that the second reading amendment moved to Bill C-12, An Act to amend the Constitution Act, 1867 (Democratic representation), earlier today makes it virtually impossible to send Bill C-12 to committee without the use of time allocation, I would like to advise that an agreement could not be reached under the provisions of Standing Order 78(1) or 78(2) with respect to the second reading of Bill C-12, An act to amend the Constitution Act, 1867 (Democratic representation).
Under the provisions of Standing Order 78(3), I give notice that a minister of the Crown will propose at the next sitting a motion to allot a specific number of days or hours for the consideration and disposal of proceedings at this stage.

Yves Lessard Chambly—Borduas, QC
Madam Speaker, I will try to answer in 30 seconds if my colleague over there would actually listen, because if we were to apply what he said, one province would end up with one member instead of the four it has now. Some provinces, like Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, have greater representation. That is fine for geographic representation. He has to be consistent with his logic. If he had paid attention to my speech, he would have understood that there are two options: geographic situations and specific cases like those of the Quebec nation and the issue of the French language.

Community Policing
Statements by Members

Lois Brown Newmarket—Aurora, ON
Madam Speaker, Armand La Barge, one of York Region's greatest communities leaders, has retired. He leaves behind a stellar 37-year policing career with York Regional Police, the last 8 of them as chief. His contribution to our region is immeasurable. Under his watch, York Region has become one of Canada's safest communities. His legacy is reflected in the actions he has taken toward improving the quality of life in our community. He took community policing to new heights. York Region now has a chief's youth council, a youth opportunities and leadership camp and the community safety village.
Armand La Barge will be remembered for his passion, his professionalism and his tireless dedication to his community. Under his leadership, the motto "deeds speak" has spoken loudly.
I invite all my colleagues to join me in congratulating Armand La Barge on a job well done.
Military Families
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Michael Savage Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Madam Speaker, Rob Gasgoine is back at the rink and at the gym with his kids.
Major Robert Gasgoine was serving as officer commanding the tactical air control party in Kandahar since April, part of his exemplary 24.5-year military career.
We all know the tremendous sacrifices made by our serving CF personnel and their families. Spouses like Kathy manage their families, keep their jobs, keep the crazy schedules, drive their kids to everything and stay optimistic and productive, all the while waiting for the family to be reunited again. This is done with little complaint.
I know all members of this House will join me in thanking all of our Canadian military families and wishing them a fabulous and well-deserved Christmas. For those who are currently serving, we pray for their safe return and hope they have a wonderful Christmas together next year.
To the Gasgoines, to Rob, Kathy, Josie, Malcom, who is playing some great hockey these days, and Clara, it is great to see them together for Christmas. We thank them and all military families for what they do for Canada. And it is great to see Rob back at the rink.
Informal Caregivers
Statements by Members
2 p.m.
Yves Lessard Chambly—Borduas, QC
Madam Speaker, I am pleased to have the opportunity to commend the invaluable work done by informal caregivers. With the vital care they provide, these people support their loved ones when they need it most. Informal caregivers look after an ill or disabled child or parent with generosity and compassion. Caregiving involves huge sacrifices and can have a serious impact on caregivers' income, health and professional and social lives.
At this time of the year, my Bloc Québécois colleagues join me in paying tribute to caregivers for their courage. We invite all the members of the House to work together to find solutions that will reduce the burden on informal caregivers, while respecting the jurisdictions of the provinces and Quebec, of course.
Canadian Wheat Board
Statements by Members
December 16th, 2010 / 2 p.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Madam Speaker, the outcome of the recent Canadian Wheat Board directors' election proved once again that farmers are overwhelmingly committed to maintaining a strong Canadian Wheat Board. Four of the five successful candidates are strong supporters of the CWB single desk marketing advantage.
I hope this House will join me in congratulating Stewart Wells, John Sandborn, Allen Oberg, Kyle Korneychuk and Henry Vos.
Farmers have made it pretty clear that they do not appreciate the Conservative government's relentless attacks against their venerated marketing board.
I would suggest that it is high time the government showed some respect for prairie grain farmers. It can start by immediately dropping the gag order prohibiting the board from advocating for the single desk; instructing our negotiators to take the wheat board off the table in the Doha negotiations; making it abundantly clear to the EU that our board will not be traded away in CETA; and moving quickly on the CWB's latest initial prices request.
I urge the Prime Minister to get off the farmers' backs once and for all and let them make their own decisions.

Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Madam Speaker, as we wind down this year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the constituents of Calgary East for the support they have given to me throughout the year.
I have had the honour of representing Calgary East for nearly 14 years. Although 14 years have passed, I am still as committed to defending the interests of and representing my constituents as when I was first elected in 1997.
I wish to recognize all the volunteers who have worked tirelessly to improve their community.
I would also like to thank my countless friends and supporters from all across the country who have assisted me in performing my duties.
As I reflect on this year, I would like to also thank my staff in Calgary and Ottawa. Their dedication has enabled my office to meet the expectations of constituents and Canadians alike.
I would also like to extend my appreciation to my family who have shown patience and understanding for me, in particular my wife, Neena.
I would like to wish happy holidays to all, merry Christmas and happy new year to all.
Mount Allison University

Dominic LeBlanc Beauséjour, NB
Mr. Speaker, the fall session for university students across the country is ending.
In my riding of Beauséjour, students from Mount Allison University are finishing their exams and preparing to hand in their term papers.
Those students have the opportunity to study at one of the best universities in the country.
This was proven when Mount Allison University in Sackville was once again named Canada's top primarily undergraduate university. I say once again, because it is the 14th time in the past 20 years it received this prestigious award.
I know many members of the staff and the faculty and I know how proud they are of the work they do.
This award confirms what many of us already know. Mount Allison University has outstanding students, world-class professors, staff and researchers and a well-deserved reputation for excellence.
To Robert Campbell, the President of Mount Allison University, and to the Chancellor, Peter Mansbridge, I say congratulations for a job well done.
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Leon Benoit Vegreville—Wainwright, AB
Mr. Speaker, most Canadians know that lowering corporate taxes leads to more companies expanding, new businesses moving to Canada and therefore to more jobs for their children, friends and neighbours.
That is why this government has lowered these taxes by more than 30%.
Lower personal taxes leaves more money in the pockets of Canadians to pay down debt and, who knows, maybe even buy some Christmas presents.
That is why our Conservative government has lowered personal taxes by more than $3,000 per year for a family of four.
Why then is this opposition coalition proposing higher, job-killing corporate taxes and higher personal taxes, including a $75 iPod tax? That would be some Christmas present.
Is it that they are not in it for Canadians; they are just in it for themselves? Or is it that they simply cannot kick their addiction to big spending?
Canadians should be very careful that they do not accidentally end up with this job-killing group of pick-pockets after the next election.
Bill C-288
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Johanne Deschamps Laurentides—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, on May 5, 2010, Bill C-288, to give new graduates a tax credit was passed by a majority of the members of the House of Commons. For the second time in less than three years, it has reached the Senate.
However, it has been debated only twice since it got there. Bill C-288 would help thousands of young students who want to study and stay in the regions, some of which are experiencing economic difficulties.
The Conservative government is taking advantage of the fact that it controls the Senate in order to control its work. For the Conservative government to oppose such a measure is one thing, but recommending that the Senate block debate on Bill C-288 is unacceptable.
The Conservative government must drop its contemptuous attitude toward the will of democratically elected parliamentarians and immediately authorize debate on Bill C-288 in the Senate.
Sterling R. Lyon
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
James Bezan Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I rise today to acknowledge the passing of the Hon. Sterling R. Lyon, former premier of Manitoba.
This distinguished Canadian proudly served the people of Manitoba for over than 40 years. His remarkable career saw him succeed in many diverse roles, notably as a crown attorney, a member of the legislature, an attorney general, a leader of the opposition, a premier and a judge of the Manitoba Court of Appeal. Sterling fulfilled all of these roles with great leadership and accomplishment.
Among other things, Sterling will be remembered for his firm belief in fiscal responsibility and prudent public investments. Over the years, his achievements and legacy have benefited his constituency, his province and all those who were privileged to work with him. His compassion and commitment to public service make a strong example to our youth in Manitoba and across the country.
I wish to extend our thoughts and prayers to his family, as well as the Manitoba PC caucus and party members at this time. I offer them our sincerest condolences as they mourn his passing and celebrate his remarkable life.

State prison officials remained silent yesterday about what happens next after Thursday's troubled execution of convicted killer Dennis McGuire. His children have vowed to sue the state.
Media inquiries from around the world flooded the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, but officials are refusing to answer questions about whether the two-drug combination will be used for the next execution, of Gregory Lott on March 19.
McGuire, 53, struggled, gasped for breath, and clenched his fists while apparently unconscious for about 10 minutes before he was pronounced dead.
The department did release a 13-page execution log showing minute-by-minute details of what happened at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility. However, the log makes no mention of McGuire gasping for air.
Ohio is among the states with death-penalty laws that are scrambling for execution drugs. They have found it increasingly difficult to obtain drugs, often because manufacturers refuse to sell products to states that plan to use them for executions. Some states are using different drug combinations from what Ohio used Thursday, while others still have a supply for one-drug executions.
Ohio exhausted the last of its supply of pentobarbital in an execution late last year.
There was no clear indication that the drug combination of midazolam, a sedative, and hydromorphone, a morphine derivative — never before used in a U.S. execution — triggered McGuire's death struggles. But Allen Bohnert, one of McGuire's federal public defenders, called the execution a "failed, agonizing experiment by the state of Ohio."
Dennis and Amber McGuire, the executed man's children, held a news conference at the office of a Dayton lawyer yesterday and said they plan to sue the state because of how their father's execution was handled.
"Yesterday my dad was killed by the state of Ohio," Dennis McGuire said. "The agony and terror of watching my dad suffocate to death lasted more than 19 minutes. ... I can't think of any other way to describe it than torture.
"After watching my dad's execution, I know what cruel and unusual punishment is. I witnessed it."< /p>
Attorney Jon Paul Rion said he plans to file the lawsuit next week in federal court alleging the state violated McGuire's Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment, and raising other issues about the testing and purity of the drugs used.
McGuire was executed for the brutal 1989 murder of Joy Stewart, 22, who was newly married and 30 weeks pregnant at the time of her death. McGuire raped Stewart, choked her, stabbed her in the chest, and slit her throat so deeply it severed her carotid artery and jugular vein. He dumped her body in the woods near Eaton, Ohio, where it was found the next day by two hikers.
While there was sharp criticism of the execution from Ohioans to Stop Executions and Amnesty International, many people commented online at Dispatch.com and in emails that they had no sympathy for McGuire.
"His death should have taken 14 hours, not 14 minutes," one commenter said.
State Sen. Edna Brown, D-Toledo, called on Gov. John Kasich to "institute an immediate and indefinite moratorium on capital punishment in Ohio" and to make sure the two-drug combination is never used again.
Rep. Robert F. Hagan, D-Youngstown, had a different solution: make sure the governor is there to watch executions.
"The administration of the death penalty is a solemn and grave duty that is entrusted to the state," Hagan said in a statement. "I believe it would only be fitting for the public's top representative and his director to be present."
The governor's spokesman, Rob Nichols, declined to comment on the execution.
