Making your own pizza dough is easy and inexpensive. An electric mixer with a dough hook makes the mixing and kneading process less labor intensive; however, if you are willing to put a little muscle into the process, the kitchen equipment you need couldn’t be more basic. In addition to the staple ingredients of every good bread dough—just four ingredients and water—a bowl and a spoon are all you need. Directions In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 pound, 4.25 ounces of bread flour; 1 teaspoon of rapid-rise yeast; and 1.5 teaspoons of salt (preferably kosher salt). Add 14 ounces of cold water and 2 ounces of extra-virgin olive oil. Mix well, scraping the flour from the sides and bottom of the bowl as you go, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. On a counter top, hand-knead an additional 1 to 3 tablespoons of flour into the dough until the dough becomes easier to work. Knead for approximately 5 minutes. Allow the finished dough to rise in a covered bowl for 2 to 3 hours.

The Crisis, No. 1

by Thomas Paine (excerpt)


THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.



Speech to the Second Virginia Convention

by Patrick Henry (excerpt)


Sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!

No Fear
Tracy Wilson

1 Austin reached into his backpack to make sure that it was there. He wasn’t sure he needed his inhaler, but he was checking just in case. His chest was tight as he once again attempted a deep breath. He completely filled his lungs and exhaled smoothly. He repeated this rhythm several times, surprised at the ease at which it came. But he’d keep the inhaler in his pocket. It had been a long time since he’d had a real asthma attack, since Little League, in fact. But it was never too far from his mind, especially when he played baseball.

2 Austin loved baseball, like fish love water, but he felt his asthma had probably kept him from reaching his full athletic potential. He knew today’s practice would be tough, for tomorrow was a big game. He was right. It was rough, and Austin and several others weren’t at the top of their game today. Coach Tanner firmly patted Austin’s shoulder as they headed for the dugout. “You’ve got to stop using it as a crutch, and let it go son.” Coach said in a firm, low voice.

Dr. Trisha Keller, Manatee Veterinarian
by Rick Santos, for the Highland School News

1 Rick: Dr. Keller, would you please tell us where you work?
Dr. Keller: I work at a manatee rescue center in Florida, where our goal is to nurse injured or sick manatees back to health and return them to the wild. Before we do this, we insert a tracking device into each manatee, so we can monitor it. This enables us to ensure that the manatee remains healthy and is doing okay on its own.

2 Rick: What is it like at the manatee rescue center?
Dr. Keller: The manatee rescue center is an incredible place that was designed especially for manatees. It has several treatment pools where we place injured or sick manatees, so we can easily access them. The center also has a large-animal x-ray machine and an operating room. The rescue center also has a cafeteria for the employees with cool manatee artwork on the walls.

3 Rick: Are any of the manatees brought to the center cubs?
Dr. Keller: Yes, the center treats many orphaned cubs. We initially feed them using a bottle until they are old enough to eat solid food. Then we feed them Romaine lettuce and other vegetation.

4 Rick: What can people do to help manatees in the wild?
Dr. Keller: People in boats should travel very slowly. If they fish, they should be sure to remove discarded fishing line from the water. They should not pollute the water or feed manatees. If they see an injured or a sick manatee, they should call the center right away.

5 Rick: What advice do you have for someone who wants to become a manatee veterinarian?
Dr. Keller: Take many science courses in school and spend time volunteering at a manatee rescue center.


Florida's Sea Cows

6 Manatees are slow moving creatures and have a large, round body, which can weigh as much as 1,200 pounds. The manatees in Florida are gray and have two forelimbs called flippers, which they use to paddle through the water along with their tail. Their head and face are wrinkled like a raisin, and they have whiskers on their snout. While a manatee won't win a beauty contest, it is a harmless creature that spends its time swimming slowly, sleeping, and chomping on sea grass, the mainstay of its diet.

7 These gentle giants are in danger of extinction, which means they might not be around in the future. In Florida alone, there were 392 manatee mortalities in 2012. Manatees have no known predators. However, they frequently collide with boats. They must not be very bright! Manatees stay near the surface of water because they must come out of the water to breathe. A manatee may come up to breathe every few minutes. This puts the manatee in danger if a fast-moving boat approaches it. The manatee may not be able to swim fast enough to escape.

Read the excerpt from Act III of The Importance of Being Earnest. Lady Bracknell. That does not seem to me to be a grave objection. Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years. Lady Dumbleton is an instance in point. To my own knowledge she has been thirty-five ever since she arrived at the age of forty, which was many years ago now. I see no reason why our dear Cecily should not be even still more attractive at the age you mention than she is at present. There will be a large accumulation of property.
