Peace Means Respect for the Rights of Others
By Mary Branham, CSG Managing Editor
Raúl Burciaga's leadership philosophy fits well with his position as director of New Mexico's nonpartisan Legislative Council Service.
"It's very important to respect any other person's opinion, perspective, background, expertise," Burciaga said. "It goes beyond simply understanding or being tolerant. It really is about recognizing where individuals come from and why individuals have a particular position on something."
Burciaga, a 2012 CSG Toll Fellow, didn't just come to this philosophy out of necessity. His mother, Maria Guadalupe, often shared a quote from Mexican President Benito Juarez, who served from 1858 to 1872: "Between individuals, as between nations, peace means respect for the rights of others."
"The idea," Burciaga said, "is that you listen to other people, you respect other people and if you can talk things through, you will have peace. There's no need to argue, or at least not argue violently."
As director of New Mexico's Legislative Council Service, Burciaga doesn't offer his opinion about what legislators should or should not do. Instead, he and his staff offer objective and unbiased information.
"From a leadership perspective, it's important to look at all sides of an issue," he said. "It's not just two sides of a coin, because there are extremes in any philosophy, but there are also a lot of people who straddle the middle."
In fact, he says one of the best compliments he ever received came from a friend at the University of New Mexico law school. "She said I was the best fence sitter she ever knew," he said. "That fits perfectly with the job I have now.
"We want to help every side present the best possible solution to any given piece of legislation or policy initiative that they think about."
While it's part of the job, that respect for other views came from a very early age. His parents' philosophies always included being respectful and listening to other people. His parents also instilled in him the need for a good education. He and his wife, Marty, have instilled that same belief in their two children, Michael and Marisa, and a granddaughter, Samantha.
Burciaga's parents emigrated from Mexico and his father, Jose Cruz, worked as a janitor. Still, his parents put Burciaga and his siblings through private Catholic schools. He initially attended the University of Texas at El Paso. He later moved to Albuquerque and finished his degree at Chapman University, which had a satellite campus there.
Then, at age 42, Burciaga decided to change careers and go to law school. He was working at Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico, primarily on Medicare and Indian health service contracts. It was the early 1990s, and then-President Bill Clinton was working to reform the health care system at the national level.
"I decided I wanted to do something similar," he said.
Burciaga had long been interested in health care policy, and thought law school would provide a good grounding for looking at health care as a policy area.
He calls health care the most complex policy area, bar none.
"It affects everyone, literally, from cradle to grave, from birth to burial," Burciaga said. "Even before birth. People talk about the need for prenatal care and how important that is. Nowadays, especially with baby boomers getting older, end-of-life care becomes very important. not just from a health perspective, but from a biomedical ethics perspective about what is appropriate care for somebody in the last stages of life."
The Legislative Council Service hired him when he graduated law school.
"I like to joke it was because I knew the difference between Medicare and Medicaid, which a lot of policymakers still struggle with," he said.
Burciaga began by staffing a number of health committees for the legislature and later was promoted to assistant director of drafting services.
"I had to slowly give up a little of that health care policy area that so fascinated me," he said.
When longtime director Paula Tackett retired in June, 2010, Burciaga was promoted to Legislative Council Service director.
"It's quite an honor because in the 60 years that this agency has been existence, I'm only the fourth director," he said.
The Legislative Council Service is not only nonpartisan, but it also is confidential. "That's key and that's important to maintaining that free exchange of ideas," he said. It allows legislators time to "be able to walk through what can be done to better the state without getting mired in the public debate that unfortunately can get awfully polarized these days."
That goes back to the Juarez quote.
"You can usually come up with some agreement, some compromise without becoming so polarized that there's no action," he said "If you get pulled in two opposite and equal directions, you're not going anywhere."

Seattle Mariners outfielder Greg Halman, 24, was stabbed to death in his native Netherlands early Monday morning.
His 22-year-old brother is the primary suspect, according to reports. No charges have been filed yet.

Brad Brownell
|Head Coach
|Evansville, IN
|As a Player:
|Earned three letters as a player at DePauw University, a Division III school in Greencastle, IN.
|Graduated from DePauw 1991; Masters from University of Indianapolis in 1994
Brad Brownell enters his seventh season in charge of the Clemson men's basketball program in 2016-17. The Evansville, Ind., native was named the 22nd men's basketball coach at Clemson University on April 13, 2010.
In six seasons at Clemson, he has compiled a 107-87 record and taken the Tigers to the 2011 NCAA Tournament and 2014 NIT semifinals. He is No. 1 in Clemson coaching history in terms of winning percentage against ACC competition and is only eight ACC wins behind Cliff Ellis for the school record.
Brownell enters his 15th season overall with a career record of 274-172, and has taken the Tigers to a .500 record or better in ACC play in five of six seasons. Clemson has posted a school-record 10 ACC regular season wins in its long history just five times, and two have come under Brownell's watch.
In 2015-16, Brownell's program made a number of strides. The Tigers were 10-8 and finished in a tie for seventh in the ACC, ahead of Final Four participant Syracuse.
Clemson defeated four ranked teams, including three in the same week to become the first ACC team to do that in the regular season since Wake Forest in 2003.
Brownell guided the Tigers to a landmark road overtime win over Syracuse on Jan. 5, 2016, before coaching Clemson to wins over Louisville, Duke and Miami all in the same week. Duke and Miami were ranked in the top 10, giving the Clemson program its first back to back wins over top-10 teams since 1975-76.
Brownell coached first-team All-ACC forward Jaron Blossomgame, who was also named Most Improved Player in the conference by the media and coaches. Blossomgame had a monumental junior campaign, averaging over 20 points per game with the third-highest ACC regular season point total in Clemson history. Another of the Tigers' players, center Landry Nnoko, was named to the All-ACC Defensive Team after leading the league in blocks per game.
His 2014-15 team posted an 8-10 mark in the ACC regular season, which included a win at Sweet 16 participant NC State. The Tigers also defeated a pair of NCAA Tournament teams from the SEC, LSU and a top-25 Arkansas squad.
The 2013-14 team rejuvenated the fan base with a thrilling season that finished with a 23-13 record and a trip to New York City for the NIT semifinals. Among Clemson's 23 wins were 10 during conference play, which led to a sixth-place finish in the ACC — no small feat considering the Tigers were predicted to finish 14th by league media in the preseason.
Clemson improved by 10 wins over 2012-13, matching the school record for the best single-season improvement. The Tigers also doubled their conference win total over the previous season, becoming just the fourth team in Clemson history to reach double digit ACC wins.
Clemson won all season long with a stout defense, one that yielded a program ACC era record 58.4 points per game. Brownell and his staff also did it by coaching the ACC's free throw champions, a first for a Tiger team in 61 seasons as a member of the conference. The Tigers' biggest win came at home against No. 13 Duke, a 72-59 victory that proved to be the Blue Devils' largest margin of defeat all season.
Brownell and his staff coached K.J. McDaniels to one of the greatest individual seasons in school history. The junior small forward was named first-team All-ACC and was the first Tiger to be named ACC Defensive Player of the Year. He posted top-10 single-season school marks for points (614), blocks (100), free throws made (154), free throw percentage (.842) and minutes played (1,212). McDaniels declared early for the NBA Draft and was selected 32nd overall by the Philadelphia 76ers, Brownell's first draft pick.
His 2014-15 team followed with an 8-10 mark in the ACC regular season, which included a win at Sweet 16 participant NC State. The Tigers also defeated a pair of NCAA Tournament teams from the SEC, LSU and a top-25 Arkansas squad.
In 2012-13, Brownell coached Devin Booker to third-team All-ACC honors. Booker scored 1,154 points and added 728 rebounds, No. 10 in the Clemson record books among career leaders.
In 2011-12, Brownell's second team went 16-15 and 8-8 in ACC play — a record fifth straight season the Tigers were .500 or better in conference games. His program defeated three teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament, including eventual Sweet 16 participant NC State and No. 22 Virginia.
Brownell's team was second in the ACC in scoring defense for a second straight season, yielding just 60.6 points per game. He coached Andre Young, a member of the All-ACC Defensive Team and the conference's leader in steals per game during the 2011-12 regular season.
Academically, the men's basketball program recorded one of its best all-around years under Brownell's leadership in 2011-12. The team had the highest cumulative GPA on record for a semester (3.13) in the fall, also the top GPA among Clemson men's athletic teams. In the spring, four players were named to the All-ACC Academic Team, including Tanner Smith, just the second four-time selection in Clemson history.
Brownell established a Clemson record for wins by a first-year coach in 2010-11 when he led the Tigers to a 22-12 overall record. The Tigers won a first-round NCAA Tournament game over UAB, the program's first tournament victory in 14 years.
Brownell was the only first-year coach to lead his team to an NCAA Tournament win in 2011. He has taken each of his three schools (Clemson, UNC Wilmington, Wright State) to the "Big Dance" in his first year at each stop.
Clemson compiled a 9-7 record during the ACC regular season and with a Senior Day victory over Virginia Tech on March 5, Brownell's squad clinched the No. 4 seed and a first-round bye at the ACC Tournament.
Brownell's 2011 Tigers won an ACC Tournament and NCAA Tournament game in the same season at Clemson for the first time since 1990. His club defeated Boston College 70-47 in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament, the second-largest margin of victory in Clemson history at the event.
He coached Demontez Stitt to third-team All-ACC honors in 2011. Stitt went on to be named first-team All-ACC Tournament as well. Fellow senior Jerai Grant flourished in his lone season under Brownell's teaching. Grant averaged career highs 12.4 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, and was also an All-ACC Defensive Team member.
Prior to Clemson, in his two previous head coaching stops he took the program to a school record number of wins as a Division I member. He had a 25-win season at UNC Wilmington in 2005-06 and a 23-win season at Wright State in 2006-07.
Brownell guided UNC Wilmington to the NCAA Tournament in 2003 and 2006 and Wright State to the NCAAs in 2007.
Brownell joined the Clemson family after coaching Wright State to a 20-12 record in 2009-10, with a third straight 12-6 Horizon League record. In four seasons with the Raiders, his teams compiled an overall mark of 84-45, including 51-21 against Horizon League foes.
Brownell's 2007 NCAA Tournament appearance at Wright State was the school's first in 14 seasons. He did it behind the strength of a 15-3 conference record and two wins in the conference tourney.
Brownell coached several standouts at Wright State, including the Horizon League Player of the Year, a first-team selection, an all-league defensive team member and two all-newcomer members in 2007-08. In 2009-10, he coached guard Vaughn Duggins to second-team All-Horizon League honors.
Brownell was the head coach at UNC Wilmington from 2002-03 through the 2005-06 season and posted an 83-40 record, including a 52-20 mark against conference teams. In his four years at Wright State he posted an 84-45 record, including a 55-24 record against conference foes.
Brownell was named CAA Coach of the Year in 2002-03 and 2005-06 and the Horizon League Coach of the Year in 2007-08. Additionally, Brownell was one of 15 finalists for the Hugh Durham Coach of the Year Award for mid-major programs in 2007 and was the NABC District 10 Coach of the Year. FoxSports.com also named him the Mid-Major Coach of the Year in 2006, his final year at UNC Wilmington.
Brownell began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Evansville under Jim Crews in 1991-92 and he helped that program to a 24-6 record. He served as an assistant at the University of Indianapolis in 1992-93 and 1993-94.
He then started a 12-year-run at UNC Wilmington, eight as an assistant or associate head coach, and four as the head coach. He was an assistant for the Seahawks from 1994-95 through 2001-02. His final year as an assistant under Jerry Wainwright, UNC Wilmington posted a 23-10 record, including a 17-4 mark versus conference teams (including the CAA Tournament). That team defeated Southern California in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in overtime.
His four-year CAA head coaching record was 61-22, the best league mark during the period. Brownell was twice named the CAA Coach of the Year (2003 and 2006). He coached five All-CAA performers, one CAA Player of the Year in Brett Blizzard, four All-Defensive Team selections, one Defensive Player of the Year and seven CAA All-Academic honorees.
UNC Wilmington posted a 25-8 mark his final season, 2005-06, including a victory over Final Four participant George Mason, and won the CAA Tournament. The Seahawks lost in overtime to George Washington, 88-85, in the NCAA Tournament that year.
His first UNC Wilmington team (2002-03) won 24 games and won the CAA Tournament. His club lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to defending national champion Maryland on a Drew Nicholas shot at the buzzer, 75-73.
The 46-year-old earned three letters as a player at DePauw University, a Division III school in Greencastle, Ind. He still ranks seventh in school history with 332 career assists. He led the Tigers in assists three straight seasons, while also leading DePauw in steals as a junior in 1989-90. Brownell also shot 78.2 percent from the free throw line over the course of his career, one of the top accuracy figures in DePauw history.
Brownell earned his bachelor's degree from DePauw in 1991 and completed his master's degree at the University of Indianapolis in 1994. He is a graduate of Harrison High School in Evansville, where he was a high school teammate of Calbert Cheaney, who later became the National Player of the Year in 1993 at Indiana.
Brownell and his wife, Paula, have two daughters, Abby (17) and Kate (15).

Around the Web This Week: Airstream Video, Slideshow, Political Cartoons and Design Resolutions

1) In Praise of Airsteam Design: Loving this inspiring video from Dwell magazine, featuring Christopher Deam and timeless design at its best in the form of the Airstream trailer:
O.K., I couldn't figure out how to embed it, so link over by clicking on this line!
2) A Sleek-Meets-Crumbly Reno in Denmark: I'm loving this New York Times slideshow of a once-crumbling townhouse in Rotterdam, especially the way the Dutch architect Rolf Bruggink has kept the best of the crumbles inside the otherwise-slick renovation:
Image by Andreas Meichsner for The New York Times
3. The Best of 2011 Political Cartoons: I'm a big Mike Luckovich fan, so I thoroughly enjoyed his list of favorite political cartoons from 2011. As a bonus, he explained why he liked each cartoon. This one is my favorite, as it addresses my biggest pet peeve: People with no phone etiquette:
Image by Mike Luckovich, via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
4. New Year's Resolutions at Home: Yahoo listed ten resolutions to try and conquer at home. Saying you're going to do all ten is probably setting yourself up for failure, so shoot for two and hope you do at least one (dare to dream, my friends, dare to dream.). The best ones to attack right now, IMHO, because they will save you major bucks over the next year are:
-The home energy audit (seal up those drafty leaks while it's this cold out and energy prices are high).
-Ditching the storage space! What do you have in there? Would Barry from Storage Wars be psyched to find it or would even that magpie Jarrod think it was junk? Have you missed one single thing that's in there? Add up how much you've spent on the space so far and it will make you ill.

Ustream Producer will not open
I am trying to use the free version of Ustream Producer. It downloads fine but will not open. I have uninstalled several times - nothing works. A Google search revealed that others are having this problem but could not find a solution. I contacted Ustream also but no answer. Any suggestions?
Re: Ustream Producer will not open
I'm having the same problem; in the windows event log I see an event ID 1000 occur each time I try to run ustream producer. I've tried in compatibility mode and running as administrator - no joy. Also tried reinstalling ustream. It has worked in the past, but now we can't use it.
Re: Ustream Producer will not open
If this is a long term problem, the next question is what do we use as an alternative to Ustream?

Spearheaded by Demna Gvasalia, Paris-based design collective Vetements was born from designers' need to escape the unwearable fashion trend cycle, favouring pragmatic pieces based on urban cultures. A Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp graduate and Maison Martin Marigela front-man, Gvasalia's undone and androgynous aesthetic seemingly translates in Vetements' elegantly deconstructed womenswear collections. Casting off thematic collections, the lateral-thinking brand creates seasonless offerings of deconstructed denims, oversized T-shirts, graphic prints, elongated sleeves, reversible sweaters and exaggerated tailoring.
The AW16 collection is a continuation of Vetement's season-defying philosophy with signature graphic hoodies, striped track pants and oversized MA bomber jackets. A line-up of fetishised school uniforms made up of miniskirts, boxy blazers, untucked school shirts and white ribbed socks are punked-up and updated with exaggerated shoulder pads, raw-edged detailing and mixed plaids. Maxi sweatshirts and slouchy sportswear pieces are printed with ironic slogans; "Sexual Fantasies" and "You Fuck'n Asshole," juxtaposed against floral frilled dresses and sharp tailored suits which are fabricated in lamé fabrics and luxe velvets. The collection is completed with signature ankle and thigh-high geometric heeled boots, cigarette stilettos and silver-tone hardware accessories.

Students will learn about how bioelectricity can be used to record and control the way the body electric behaves.
What you will Learn:
- Introduction to the nervous system, with an overview of neurons, glia, basic central and peripheral nervous system organization, and simple neural circuits (e.g. vestibulo-ocular reflex, stretch, etc…)
- Chemical basis of electrical signals. Derivation of membrane resting potential, ion channels, Nernst and Goldman equations. Action potentials with both saltatory and passive conduction. Types of neurotransmitters along with both direct and indirect modulation pathways.
- Electrophysiological recording techniques including: patch-clamp, voltage-clamp, extracellular electrodes etc…
- Electrical models of cells in standard resistor and capacitor component terms. Means of modeling current flows through cellular circuits using both Matlab and SPICE. Incorporation of discrete passive and active components into the model to simulate the presence of electrodes, amplifiers, etc
- The Hodgkin-Huxley model of the action potential. It's validation in the giant squid axon, and what it tells us about temperature dependence as well as sensitivity to causal, nonlinear, and subthreshold oscillatory effects
- Introduction to basic bioelectric hardware, software, and signal processing to build your first wireless neural prosthesis!
The prerequisites of this course are freshmen physics to understand the basics of circuits, resistors and capacitors, and differential equations to follow along with the mathematics and the derivations of the core conductor cable and the Hodgkin-Huxley equations.

Artisan Five-Minute Deli Rye
I really wanted to bake Rose's rye bread recipe, which is the best I've made, but I was going to be gone all day Saturday and I didn't think I could work it into the schedule, so I settled on the Five-Minute recipe, which does have the advantage of giving you a lot of flexibility.
The recipe is supposed to make four loaves of bread, but they would be very small one-pound loaves. I scooped up nearly two pounds of dough for my first loaf.
The bread is supposed to be brushed with a cornstarch wash to make it nice and shiny, so I was envisioning a fat, brown, gleaming loaf of caraway-speckled bread.
I learned that if you mix up cornstarch and water but forget to heat it to a boil, it doesn't make the bread shiny. In fact, it seems to have the reverse effect. At least, something made this bread refuse to brown. I finally took it out of the oven because it had been baking for over twice as long as it was supposed to; even allowing for the fact that it was bigger than the recipe's one-pound loaf, it still was behaving oddly.
Not only did it have a dull matte finish, but the little slashes I made on top of the bread expanded so that the bread looked like it had exploded. My poor bread was kind of an ugly duckling. But I covered it in plain brown wrapping and sneaked it inside the Beiers' house; then I sliced it before anyone could see its oddity. It tasted pretty good though. Curiously, the more wine we drank, the better the bread tasted.
A few days later, I made another loaf. This time I took out 1.2 pounds and made a torpedo-shape loaf. I used my LaCloche bread baker, and I remembered to boil the cornstarch wash.
I think this is more what it's supposed to look like. And the slashes looked more normal too.
By now the dough had been in the refrigerator for about a week, so it had a little more tang, but it was by no means funky.
I'm always a little apprehensive about looking at the dough that's been hanging out in the refrigerator for a while--afraid of what I might see. So far, I've seen nothing but bread dough. Which is what I saw on Sunday, a week and four days after I made the original dough: a small amount of normal looking caraway rye dough. In fact, it was small enough that I thought a loaf of bread would look pathetic, so instead, I made four rye dinner rolls.
I thought the rolls were the most successful of the three variations I made, even though there were only a few of them. They were the prettiest--the cornstarch wash actually worked and the slashes didn't deform the bread.
The sad news is that Loaf #1 is gone; Loaf #2 is gone; and Rolls #3-6 are gone. I've been so busy at work that I haven't had time to make more bread, so I'm reduced to having my morning toast with store-bought bread, which makes me glum. I hear my mother's voice reminding me that the starving children in China (I know that some mothers talked about the starving children in India or Africa, but my mother's were always in China) would be grateful for that bread, and I get that whining about not having homemade bread is unattractive, but still. I hope I have time to make some of the real stuff this weekend.
Deli-Style Rye
--adapted from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day
3 c. (709 grams) water
1 1/2 T. (14.4 grams) instant yeast
1 1/2 T. (25 grams) salt
1 1/2 T. (15 grams) caraway seeds
1 cup (130 grams) rye flour
5 1/2 cups (771 grams) all-purpose flour.
1. Mix the yeast, salt, and caraway seeds with the water in a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix in the remaining dry ingredients with a spoon or a stand mixer, using the dough hook.
3. Cover (not airtight), and allow to rest about two hours, or until the dough rises and starts to fall.
4. Refrigerate in a container (not airtight) and use within 14 days.
5. When ready to bake, cut off the amount you want to use (one pound will make a smallish loaf. Shape into whatever shape you want, and allow to rest and rise, 40 minutes to an hour, on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
6. Preheat oven to 450, with baking stone placed on middle rack.
7. Paint the top crust with cornstarch (mix 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch with a small amount of water to make a paste; add 1/2 cup water, stir, and bring to boil). Make cuts into top of loaf with slashing knife, razor blade, or serrated bread knife.
8. Place baking pan on hot stone. For a better crust, either pour 1 cup boiling water into another baking sheet on another rack, or put about 1/2 cup ice cubes on preheated baking sheet or skillet on rack below the bread.
9. Bake about 35 minutes for one-pound loaf, longer for a larger loaf, and less for rolls.
10. Let cool on cooling rack before cutting.

hmmm, i haven't tried that recipe as yet, but it looks great. even with a dull finish and explosive shape it sounds like it tasted great! i hadn't heard of the boiled cornstarch wash. there's a lot about baking that i don't know!! :)
i suppose that whining could be than attractive, but it's allowed and sometimes it's the only thing that works! i hope you have adequate time to return to baking very soon!
my mother's threat was the starving armenians.
- evil cake lady said...
Your rolls are so perfectly round!
(And as an Oregonian, I am obligated to say, "well of COURSE Oregon pinots taste different...they taste better!" However I am not much of a wine drinker, so truthfully I have no idea.)
I baked the Whole Wheat with Raisins and Pecans bread this weekend, so now I doubly envy your bread making skills!
- breadbasketcase said...
It's good, but not as good as Rose's rye recipes. But it's hard to beat coming home at 5:00 and having bread coming out of the oven at 7:00! Thank you for allowing me to whine. It did make me feel better.
The rolls were the most aesthetically pleasing, so maybe that's why I liked them the best. I also dusted cornmeal on the parchment paper, and cornmeal goes especially well with rye. The Oregon wines were very good, but so were the Californian ones. Wine is so good! (But not so good with, e.g., red devil's food cake).
I can't wait to read about your bread! Since you humored me with my bread recipe, you can choose any cake recipe you want.
Your breads look lovely, Marie, as they usually do! I really like the look of the rolls though. I did the Vermont Cheese bread from your blog a few weeks ago and i was pleased with it and almost ordered the book but then I decided to get Rose's first and i have made the Hearth Bread and the Banana Feather loaf. Both were good but I need to practise more before I get to your standard! Any home-made bread is better than shop bought though, don't you think?
Regards, Jeannette.
- Annie said...
I think you're really clever keeping dough in the refrigerator like this. We sometimes bake, slice and then freeze bread so it's ready to eat when required. Trouble is getting around to replacing it! When forced to buy bread I always buy Turkish.
We try to keep ourselves in homemade bread but have a couple of standard recipes we make all the time: (1) wholegrain and (2) ciabatta. Very occasionally we make a black bread which is great with smoked salmon or under scrambled eggs:)
We must try to be more adventurous!
- Doughadear said...
Hi Marie,
What a coincidence that you made rye bread from 5 minutes. I recently purchased Aritisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day and mixed a batch of the Master Recipe last night. I was eager to give the recipe a try first thing this morning as I was very curious what the bread would be like considering its minimal handling and proofing times. The loaf turned out okay, perhaps a bit dense, next time I would let it rise a bit longer and decrease the amount of salt I think. Considering that this method goes against everything I've learned about artisan baking the loaf tasted pretty good. It certainly is nice to be able to pull some dough out of a container and have bread ready in a couple of hours.
Your bread looks lovely especially the buns.
- Melinda said...
Pretty loaves, even your so called 'brown bag hidden loaf'. I love rye bread and caraway seeds, so I bet I would happily eat all these up too!
- breadbasketcase said...
Sometimes I wish I could bake all the breads in The Bread Bible for the first time again! It was such fun to try all the different breads. If memory serves, the banana feather loaf is Melinda's favorite. The hearth bread is one that I've returned to over and over. I'm still waiting to see your Bara Brith!
Slicing and freezing bread is my favorite way of storing it--but you're right, it's so sad when you use the last piece. Your three breads all sound classic, but there are so many other kinds that you would love.
- breadbasketcase said...
Exactly my assessment of the Five-Minute book--good, but not great, and you can't beat it for ease and convenience. The salt problem is because they use kosher salt, so if you use 1 1/2 T. of regular salt, you're using more, and it's way too salty. Try some of the recipes made with the book's brioche dough--they are excellent!
I had a heavy hand with the caraway seeds, but I love them in rye bread too. You might have laughed if you'd seen the brown bag loaf in person.
- Goody said...
I got the lecture about starving Biafra children with their swollen bellies-though I suspect even they would have taken a pass on mother's stewed courgettes in V-8 juice.
When I do a cornstarch wash, I apply it after the loaf has come out of the oven to the still hot loaf. The thickened mixture adheres and gives it shine along with a bit of a chewy texture. Obviously, you'll want a heatproof brush for that.
Still, fresh bread on short notice is a pretty great thing, and I don't know anyone that would turn up their nose at those loaves-I think they look lovely.
- breadbasketcase said...
Courgettes in V-8 sauce? That sounds truly awful.
I never thought about doing a cornstarch wash after the bread comes out of the oven--you can't taste it?
- pinknest said...
lol! look at you be sneaking with your bread! i love it.
- Goody said...
You can't taste it, but it should be applied very lightly. Here's the link to the recipe (and photo) at my blog:
- breadbasketcase said...
Yes, I love to skulk.
Thanks for the link--it looks beautiful (and shiny!)
- Jenny said...
Marie, thanks so much for (among other things) your note of caution about boiling the cornstarch wash.I used the peasant bread recipe from the 5-minute book and added walnuts and currants, a la the pumpernickel bread recipe. That one calls for a cornstarch wash and as I was mixing it, your warning wafted into my head.
I could have used a cautionary note about how to put the walnuts and currants in the dough. The recipe says to roll it out into a rectangle, scatter the fruit and nuts and roll it back up. That, however, gave me a baked loaf with colonies of currants and walnuts (overpopulated colonies, at that) huddled near the top and bottom of the loaf.
I agree with you on the "good but not great" verdict on the loaves I've baked so far from the "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes" book. However, having the olive oil dough in the fridge for pizza is wonderful (or so my 11-year-old daughter thinks).
Love your blog!
- breadbasketcase said...
Glad to save you from the useless cornstarch wash! I know exactly what you mean about ending up with colonies of fruits and nuts amid other unpopulated areas. My excuse is always that it shows the bread is not machine-made.
- Jenny said...
Marie, I like your thinking. That loaf disappeared in record time, census problems or not. I'm doing another loaf right now by commiting the (seemingly) cardinal sin of kneading the currants and walnuts into the peasant bread dough. We'll see.
I said this in a previous comment, but I'm not sure it made it onto the site, since I was a neophyte regarding Google membership. I make the 5-minute loaves on parchment paper and slide it along with the loaf onto the baking stone. About a third to half way through the baking time, I go in and remove the parchment so the bottom can get nice and firm. I have made pizzas that turned into Dali's melting clocks as I slid them onto the baking stone (and the pizza either continues to slide or doesn't slide far enough), and that experience scarred my baking psyche. I tried a Gourmet pizza recipe that used parchment paper in this way, and it worked great. That recipe didn't worry about removing the paper mid-bake, but I've found with the breads you can end up with a soft bottom if you don't.
- breadbasketcase said...
I can hardly believe that just a few years ago I didn't even know what parchment paper was. Now I've gone through rolls and rolls of it and it is indispensable. I know that some people are very successful at sliding pizzas directly on to the baking stone, and I have great admiration for them, but the parchment paper alternative works beautifully. (I would like to have seen a picture of your melting-clock pizza, though).
- 海琉 ky said...
I just made a few mini-boules this morning, and they turned out great! I forgot to use kosher salt, so it was a little salty, but not horrible. I also tested out different cornstarch washes; I agree with Goody that the wash should go on after baking, while the loaves are still warm. The crust will be less crispy, but it will shine!
Thanks for this recipe! I haven't been this happy with bread I've baked in ages.
- Anardana said...
I was under the impression that the cornstarch wash was only there to make it sticky enough for caraway seeds to stick after being sprinkled on top of the bread.
I have been using the 5 minute recipe, but went to a bread baking class and learned how to get a really crunchy crust by baking the bread in a dutch oven that has been pre-heated in the oven with the lid on for at least 30 minutes and then turned down to 450 right when you put the bread in. You then take the lid off half way through baking. I have been trying to bake a good loaf at altitude for years and this FINALLY did the trick! It works for the 5 min bread and regular artisan recipes.

|Kenneth Heller
Professor Kenneth Heller will receive the 2017 Millikan Medal from the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT). The medal recognizes "those who have made notable and intellectually creative contributions to the teaching of physics."
In nominating him for this honor his colleagues noted that he "is an accomplished experimental high-energy physicist who has made important contributions to our understanding of hadrons and neutrinos while mentoring dozens of graduate and undergraduate students in research. Heller has also been a leader over more than two decades in the national conversation about teaching in the introductory physics course. His writings and presentations are deeply insightful and have a standard of scholarship commensurate with his HEP research. Many of Heller's highly practical innovations have been adopted by physics programs around the world, and have spread to other disciplines as well. His emphasis on problem solving reinforces the outlook of most physicists about the essential nature of quantitative thinking in our discipline."
Heller is known for developing a systems approach to supporting the learning of physics through problem solving. This approach emphasizes the importance of the structure of problems including paper and pencil and laboratory problems, the structure and support of student groups, the preparation and support of teaching assistants, and the beliefs and values of faculty. Heller and his research and development group used a variety of methods to establish the research basis for the pedagogy known a Cooperative Group Problem Solving and made the technique adaptable by a wide variety of instructors and institutions.
The pedagogical systems and materials produced by Heller's group are some of the most widely used research validated materials in U.S. colleges and universities. Although developed for introductory physics at the college level, this pedagogy has been influential in teaching advanced physics courses and in other STEM fields as well. The continuing work includes the use of computers on the internet as coaches and the appropriate structure and content of the introductory physics course for biology majors.
Heller will deliver an address at an AAPT Summer Meeting and receive a monetary award, the Millikan Medal, an Award Certificate, and travel expenses to the meeting.

Finland contributes 2.5 million Euros to UNESCO for Education for All and the Development of Communication
On 23 November, UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova and His Excellency Mr. Antti Kuosmanen, Ambassador and Permanent Delegate of Finland to UNESCO signed an agreement by which Finland will contribute 2.5 million Euros to support UNESCO's activities in the field of capacity-building of developing countries for Education for All and the Development of Communication.
"Finland is a great supporter of multilateralism and a champion of UNESCO's core priorities" said the Director-General, while emphasizing the importance of the Global Monitoring Report to strengthen efforts in promoting education and in setting the global agenda with regard to institutional capacities for education, learning outcomes, skills and employment, as well as measuring trends and looking at progress in teacher training.
She highlighted the key role of the Capacity-Development for Education for All programme (CapEFA) to sustain efforts of developing countries to achieve the EFA goals by 2015 and the imperative to pursue efforts on data elaboration, collection and analysis to inform education policies. In this respect, the Director-General underlined also her decision to allocate 2.5 million USD from the Emergency Fund to contribute to the success of activities for the 29 targeted priority countries in need, as identified in the context of CapEFA.
Ambassador Antti Kuosmanen emphasized "Finland's continued commitment to education, freedom of expression and the development of communication", emphasizing his country's appreciation for the work conducted by UNESCO Institutes, such as the International Institute for Educational Planning, the Institute for Statistics, as well as the International Programme for the Development of Communication.
Ambassador Kuosmanen highlighted also Finland's commitment for the first time to contribute for a two-year period, so as to enable UNESCO to plan ahead in advancing its main priorities. He expressed Finland's full appreciation of the Director-General's commitment to reforming UNESCO to better tackle current challenges and he assured her of his Government's continued support.

PSP Scripts, how do you use them?
For PSP user, Script are what Actions are for the Photoshop users. So basicly you run the script and you can create your own element with the setting and colors you like. For example, when you use a script to create a ribbon, you can change colors, shadows, texture, but still run the script! So with one script you can create very different elements!
Once you have tried a script, you get hooked (at least I am!) I want to explain how you can start running a script in PSP because there are so many great product available and we have the idea not all people know exactly how they work!
And?? Curious how you get these scripts to work? Let's start!
1. Open the zipfile you bought from the store, inside you will find a folder with most likely a script, some selections and what ever else is needed to run the script, like tubes, patterns, etc.
2. Go to your 'start' button on your task bar and open your Documents Folder
Look for your folder 'My PSP Files' and double click it. You will see all the folders you need to add the files you got in the zipfile. Look for the 'Scripts - Restricted' Folder and place your script here. Then look for the 'Selections' folder and add the selections. Do the same with any other items like tubes in 'Picture Tubes' , patterns in the Pattern folder and so on.
3. Open PSP now and locate the script now. If you do not have showing it in your PSP, locate your 'View' then look for 'Toolbars' and then click at 'script'
4. Now go to the top task bar and locate the script you have installed.
5. When you press play the script will start. You shall see the script shall ask you questions with pup up boxes like these
6. Just follow the instructions on all pup up boxes
7. The script will finish by itselfs, so all you need to do is follow the instructions and you have a wonderful product in a few minutes in your own picked colors, gradients or patterns!
8. You can run the same script and try all kinds of colors, patterns, gradients to make THE element of your choice.
Special thanks to Designs by Digiscrapations and Puddicat Creations for making the screens for me in English!

Seahawks waive TE McCoy
Renton, WA – The Seattle Seahawks waived/injured tight end Anthony McCoy on Tuesday, less than a week after he underwent surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon.
If he clears waivers, McCoy will be placed on injured reserve. The three-year pro is expected to miss up to nine months with the injury, which occurred during team offseason training activities.
A sixth-round pick of Seattle in the 2010 draft, McCoy is coming off a 2012 season in which he established career highs with 18 catches, 291 receiving yards and three touchdowns as the Seahawks' No. 2 tight end.

Hello future viola students -- welcome!!
In addition to playing violin, I've also played viola in duets, trios, and string quartets, and is another beautiful instrument to learn.
My approach includes providing the student with a good foundation of both left and right hand technique using a combination of method books which reinforce note-reading and proper posture for the first year. We then start adding solo pieces from the Classical repertoire and supplement those with modern pieces from Pop, Latin, Jazz, or any other style the student would like to learn.
Students always get a well-rounded education with me on the string instruments I teach AND are prepared to play either alone, or in groups when the opportunity presents itself.
Happy Practicing!
About Nicolas
I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and raised in Miami, FL. I started my musical career at the age of 8, singing in chorus, playing the recorder, and shortly afterwards moving to the guitar, and the violin.
When I was 15, I was nominated for a James L. Knight Award in Music, and I performed as a violin soloist with the Miami Beach Symphony Orchestra, and the Greater Miami Youth Symphony playing Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major. One of my most memorable experiences when I was a kid! In high school, I formed my own string quartet and we would perform all over the South Florida community especially at hospitals and for the elderly. At 16 years old, I was also given an internship with the New World Symphony, conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas, for about 2
I later on accepted a scholarship for violin performance at the University of Miami for my Bachelor of Music, and earned my Master of Music from Florida State University. I also taught string orchestras for 10 years at Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center, South Florida Youth Symphony as conductor (and now composer!), and conductor of the Greater Miami Youth Symphony. I was appointed Assistant Conductor of the Alhambra Orchestra for two seasons under the guidance of my high school orchestra teacher, Mr. Reginald Nicholson (1947-2011). It was here where I was able to work on my compositions, orchestrations, and conduct a fine group of musicians.
I now live in sunny Los Angeles, in the Sherman Oaks area, and I'm loving the new change. I am eager to share my knowledge with new students on various subjects such as learning a string instrument to learning a different language. Please feel free to ask me any questions.
I am looking forward to getting to know you and your goals for learning!
I have been teaching music as an adult, certified teacher since I was in college, but have done teaching as early as 15 years old.
I will help you create a fantastic technical base so you will be able to play with ease as your skill level develops, all while keeping the lessons fun and engaging.
Piano, Violin, Guitar, Music Stand, General Teaching Aids, Recording Equipment.
I can provide a music stand and basic materials but the student is expected to have their own instruments and to buy the music I recommend. I can recommend various vendors/shops where you can buy the ideal instrument for your lessons.
I am classically-trained musician that also specializes in Tango performance, Latin/Jazz, Rock, and a variety of other styles. I believe that training in the classical aesthetic will create a firm, solid foundation to crossover into other areas listed above. With a good dose of technical exercises, scales, and a variety of repertoire, my students always turn out well-rounded, ready to tackle almost any kind of music they wish to learn.
Thank you for stopping by and let me know what you would like to learn!

*** Lesson Details ***
I strongly believe that, if every child would be provided with an ideal environment, would gain extraordinary ability. There are no exceptions. No one can tell how able man is by the nature. What is known is the ability that is spoiled or developed. It cannot be denied that most children speak their native languages beautifully by learning about 3000-4000 words by age 5 or 6. Nothing can clearer demonstrate of the original power of the human mind. Through the years of studying and teaching music I realized that this is the most important concept for developing each kid's talent, to increase his or her ability to the maximum. Therefore I am combining the great methods of teaching violin. The Suzuki method and the Russian school method. Suzuki method helps at the earliest stage of playing an instrument and I am using later Russian school method for more advanced period of studying.

About Ray
My name is Ray, I'm 30 years old, and was born in Queens, NY. I studied classical music for many years as a youngster at the Aaron Copeland School of Music college preparatory program. During this program I was introduced to Jazz, and around the same time began experimenting with synthesizers. I went on to study Electronic Production & Design at Berklee College of Music in Boston, and quickly became a very sought after studio musician and performer.
I've been successfully teaching many instruments and proficiency levels for 16+ years now, and can say with pride that teaching is my passion, and I anticipate it being a very important part of the rest of my life.
I enjoy reading nonfiction books on science, math, and philosophy, and am building a career as a pop music producer.
*** Lesson Details ***
My music lessons
1. I have a very deep understanding of music, sound, and theory, and feel music to be one of my native languages.
2. I have devoted considerable amounts of time and energy studying neuroscience, which has greatly improved my understanding of the learning process.
3. I have been blessed with the tremendous amount of patience necessary to guide a student through the necessary steps it takes to learn at whatever pace is optimal, in order to maximize the efficiency of the learning process for each individual.
*** Equipment ***
Students must have their own instrument, and purchase their own materials (books, etc). From time to time I make my way to a local music shop, and am happy to purchase materials for reimbursement.
*** Specialties ***
Classical music is my background, and what I believe to be the most cognitively and emotionally fulfilling style of music to study and play. That said, I'm also a big fan of pop music (as well as other genres), and encourage students to enjoy learning their favorite songs from the radio.
My understanding of music theory is extremely thorough, and I'm happy to incorporate as much or as little of it as the student's interest dictates, nevertheless maintaining the minimal amount of theory necessary to get the most out of learning music and the instrument.
Thanks for checking out my profile! Please contact me with any additional questions you may have, as well as to inquire about day/time availability. I'll do my best to get back to you right away (usually within a few hours).

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service is proposing a prescribed burn in the Pecos Wilderness near Santa Fe to reduce the possibility that a wildfire could severely damage the city's watershed.
The Espanola Ranger District of the Santa Fe National Forest has scheduled a meeting Sept. 20 to gather public comments and provide more information about the proposal to burn 2,900 acres in the wilderness area upstream from McClure Reservoir, which is east of Santa Fe and stores water for the city.
The meeting will be held at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, starting at 5:30 p.m.
The federal agency says prescribed burns typically are done in early spring, late summer or fall.

A couple quick updates, thoughts, and possible points of clarification. First, Amazon hasn't taken the Change.org petition seriously yet. Maybe I don't blame them. What impact could 210 signing indie authors have? That's why we're pushing for 1,000. And, if that doesn't get their attention, then we'll get 2,000. We will push until they will dialogue with us, which is all we have requested. Sign it here today, just take a second and you're in good company: http://www.change.org/petitions/amazon-stop-arbitrarily-removing-customer-reviews-from-indie-author-books
Next. I am starting to get information that Amazon is adding another dimension to pulling reviews. It is not set forth in any of their guidelines, but it could be called associated review pulling. What does association mean? Anyone in your family. Friends. People you work with. Reviews from all of these types of people have been removed and/or blocked according to various people. They are being told it is because they have a "financial interest" in your book, but that's obviously a load of crap. That's just the catchall phrase they're using to justify their actions. So, in the future, it may not be possible to have anyone you know write you a review. Just awesome, huh? Let's make it harder for indie authors.
Finally, just got done reading an interesting blog post on the review issue. It includes another description of what that blogger calls "linked" removal of reviews. It is called "Update on Amazon's Disappearing Reviews: Konrath Continues Bold, Pro-Lies Stance; Amazon's Policies Clarified" by Ed Robertson: http://www.edwardwrobertson.com/2012/11/update-on-amazons-disappearing-reviews.html
This all stinks of so many other situation where if there was just transparency, there would be no speculation, rumor, and angst. Amazon could easily step up and give some clarity/description on this whole issue. In fact, that's all most people are asking for.

[url="http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/8231176/Reportonaghy-says-refs-fixed-playoff-series"]http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/8231 ... off-series[/url]
The Tim Donaghy scandal just got more serious.
The disgraced former NBA referee told authorities in a four-page letter released Tuesday that two officials conspired to fix the outcome of a 2002 playoff series among other games.
The fix is in?Tim Donaghy did not specifically mention which series in 2002 was fixed, but the Lakers-Kings Western Conference finals was the only series that fits his allegations.
Game 6 officials: Dick Bavetta, Ted Bernhardt, Bob Delaney
Court documents filed by Donaghy's lawyer detailed the "inner-workings" of a plot in which top league executives used referees to manipulate the games. Donaghy claims two referees were "company men" whose job was to extend a playoff series in 2002 to a seventh game.
The documents did not name the series, but the Lakers-Kings Western Conference finals was the only series in 2002 that went to a seventh game, with the Lakers winning Game 6, 106-102.
The report said the referees allegedly ignored flagrant fouls committed by the team that needed to win and called phantom fouls against the other team which led to two of their players fouling out. The team supposedly favored by the refs won Games 6 and 7 to win the series, according to the allegations.
"Our big guys get 20 fouls tonight and Shaq gets four? You tell me how the game went," Kings coach Rick Adelman said after Game 6 of that series. "It's just the way it is. Obviously, they got the game called the way they wanted to get it called."
The letter doesn't name anyone involved. Donaghy's attorney and prosecutors have declined to comment. The league has denied the scandal goes beyond Donaghy and two co-defendants.
According to the document, Donaghy also said "league officials would tell referees that they should withhold calling technical fouls on certain star players because doing so hurt ticket sales and television ratings."
Donaghy also said refs broke league rules by routinely fraternizing with players, coaches and team management and that the resulting inappropriate relationships may have influenced the outcomes of games. He claims one general manager in 2004 made a game-day phone call to referees to encourage them to call more personal fouls against an opponent.
Donaghy claims referees have accepted autographs, merchandise and meals from team representatives. He said one official used a team's facility to exercise and another played tennis with an NBA coach.
The veteran referee pleaded guilty last year to felony charges alleging he took cash payoffs from gamblers and bet on games. He faces up to 33 months in prison.
John Lauro, Donaghy's lawyer, filed the letter to a federal judge because none of the information was included in the government's letter to the judge seeking leniency for Donaghy when he is sentenced, according to the New York Daily News.
The report said Lauro withheld the names of those involved because the feds might investigate the situation.
