MACON, Ga. – The Lipscomb women's cross country squad was predicted to finish where they have the last two years, in first place, by the league's coaches as announced by the Atlantic Sun Conference on Thursday.
Senior Dani Walker claimed the two individual awards as the Preseason Runner of the Year as voted by the coaches and the Fan Voted Runner of the Year.
The Lady Bisons garnered all 100 points possible and all 10 first place votes as the favorite. North Florida was picked second with Jacksonville third.
The women's team is really good," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "They are really really good. That is no secret. The goal has been to build a national power, and that is what is happening."
Part of being such a good squad comes from returning the top seven performers from a year ago.
"Then we added an amazing recruiting class," Taylor added. "So far in the first two weeks of workouts I am already seeing things that have never been done before in our program's history. We are already far better today than we have ever been at any point of any season before."
Walker, who claimed Freshman of the Year honors in 2010, finished third overall at the conference meet a year ago.
"Dani is the top returning A-Sun cross country runner and she has led our team for the past three years," Taylor said. "It is a well-deserved honor for her. Dani will be right up there again this year.
"As the only all-region runner in Lipscomb history, she also brings that successful big race experience that a team on the verge of nationals needs. She has been the backbone of our team on the course. She is the natural choice for this honor and it is exciting that she will have company from her teammates this year."
As the Purple and Gold look for a third-straight A-Sun title, the bigger aspirations remain on the NCAA National meet. Taylor has altered his training plans with that goal in mind.
"We started the quality workouts two weeks later this year than we've ever done before, since the bigger goal is nationals," Taylor said. "The women are so focused and we have matured in confidence and purpose."
With Walker chosen as the runner of the year, Taylor also points out that she will not be alone in the front.
"This year's team has six or seven women who could be our number one any given race," Taylor said. "We are seeing some amazing things in practice this year already and I think this is very good for Dani. It takes pressure off and adds the fun of a legit team that can do anything.
"It is going to be a special year."

It seemed like a better strategy for JT to take Stephen to the finals, because everyone would think that it was a very honest and bold move. If he took Erinn, than he most likely wouldn't have gotten all of the votes. (Taj)
I think Erinn would've had a better jury performance than Stephen did, but I think that while Sierra and Taj would've voted Erinn, Debbie and Brendan would still probably have voted for J.T. as well as obviously Coach, Stephen and Tyson.Belle Book
I guess the reason this season's great in Jeff's opinion is J.T.'s likeability.

With NBA teams looking for head coaches, Connecticut's Kevin Ollie is in a no-lose situation.
Based on all that he has said, his heart remains with UConn and talks aimed at a new contract are underway, two sources told the Hartford Courant on Friday.
A source close to Ollie also said that the UConn coach would listen if an NBA team approached him, but none have done so yet. Ollie is reportedly on the Lakers' list of potential candidates to replace Mike D'Antoni, who resigned Wednesday.
It is obvious that a new contract would give Ollie, 41, who led the Huskies to the national championship in his second season, a very large raise, which a source said would more than...

Associate Vice President, University of Hawaii System
Associate Vice President, University of Hawaii System
Posted: Feb 19, 2013
President M.R.C. Greenwood and the university leadership have reviewed the testimony submitted to the Senate Committee on Higher Education by Mr. Dennis Mitsunaga and are aware of Mr. Mitsunaga's serious allegations. The university will conduct a full investigation and take any appropriate action based on the findings of the investigation.
The Board of Regents and President will discuss the allegations and investigation in detail at the board's meeting this Thursday, February 21, in Hilo.
The university leadership first became aware of Mr. Mitsunaga's allegations through his testimony last Thursday. Senator Donovan Dela Cruz, Chair of the Committee on Economic Development, Government Operations, and Housing, wrote to the university that evening to request an immediate investigation, and the university responded on Friday morning confirming that an investigation will be conducted. Copies of those letters are attached. The university has also contacted the Office of the Attorney General to request its assistance with the investigation.

Few fruits are genetically modified, but a major exception is the Hawaiian papaya, and for a very specific reason. The state's papaya crop was threatened by papaya ringspot virus until a papaya was produced that's resistant to the virus. The technology is credited with saving the state's papaya industry, according to the Cornell University News Service, but other papaya-growing countries have been uninterested in following suit.

Unifi Announces $50 Million Stock Repurchase Program
Jan 22, 2013, 06:36 ET
GREENSBORO, N.C., Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI) today announced that its Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program to acquire up to $50 million of the Company's common stock. The new repurchase program replaces the existing program, which authorized the repurchase of up to 3,333,333 shares of common stock, but which had been suspended since November 2003.
Under the new repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at such times, manner and prices as are determined by management, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. The Company expects that open market repurchases under the repurchase program will be structured to comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of open market stock repurchases.
Bill Jasper, Chairman and CEO of Unifi said, "We are pleased to announce our continued commitment to maximizing shareholder value through this new repurchase program. We will seek the right opportunities to repurchase our stock, while maintaining ample liquidity to support the operational needs and future growth opportunities of the business."
Repurchases are expected to be financed through cash from operations and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and are subject to applicable limitations and requirements set forth in the Company's credit facility. The repurchase program has no stated expiration or termination date. The Company may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not warranted. Under the repurchase program, there is no time limit for repurchase, nor is there a minimum number of shares intended to be repurchased or specific time frame in which the Company intends to repurchase.
Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI) is a diversified producer and processor of multi-filament polyester and nylon textured yarns and related raw materials. The Company adds value to the supply chain and enhances consumer demand for its products through the development and introduction of branded yarns that provide unique performance, comfort and aesthetic advantages.

Make Your Date Night Extra Romantic with These Ideas
Add Zing
It becomes quite obvious for every relationship to turn mundane after several years of coming into existence. Consequently, the couple drifts apart and everything starts looking dull. Even the most romantic of all places may seem to hold no excitement when you have visited it over and over. So, in order to add zing to your unexciting relationship, here are some great ideas for your night date with which you can surprise your partner and make them fall in love with you all over again.Image courtesy: Getty ImagesLoading...
Cook Together
Hit the grocery store and pick up your favorite ingredients and plan a date in the kitchen. Cooking together gives you an opportunity to have some personal time with you partner and who knows you might get lucky and manage to grab chance to caress them on the kitchen floor.

Have Each Other for Dessert
Eating dinner on the dining table is routine, do something different and take your food to your bedroom. Eat in the bed and have each other for dessert.

Watch a Movie Together
Watch a movie together while holding onto each other but this time instead of the theatre, do it inside your blanket. Arrange for popcorns, drinks and then get cozy on the couch.

Just because you have grown up, don't let your maturity ruin your relationship. Remember, age is just a number. Let out the kid in you and scream your heart out with your partner at a karaoke bar.

Opt for Restaurants with Small Tables
Take your beloved out for a dinner but what you must keep in mind that even if at a public place, you must stay close to them. Choose a restaurant which has smaller tables which will let you sit close to them.

Check-Into Your Own Room
Get rid of your boring cotton bed-sheets and bed-side lamps. Decorate your room like a hotel room. Use satin bed covers and lite up some candles. You can also put a champaign bottle on the bed-side and re-live the first night after marriage.

Get Inside a Tent
To have some personal time, arrange for a camp in your backyard or lawn. Decorate it with light strings and spend a romantic night under the stars.

Share your Dessert
When you order your dessert after main course, make sure you order just one. Share the delicious chocolate milk shake with your partner and watch your love blossom again.

Re-Visit Old Places
Remember the first coffee shop where you first met them? Take them to the same old place for coffee or dinner where the two of you used to visit in the initial days of your relationship. This will help you re-live your old memories and rekindle your love.

becoming more and more careless and indifferent and the roads are becoming worse every year we notice that john <'. scarbo rough of the bureau of labor statis tics has sent circulars around to one

is sciire sic to remedy this we suggest that even farmer look around at once and consider where he can make a pasture or where he may wish to do so within the next four or five years let him determine hpon the lines where he shall expect to erect the wire fence in the future and let him plant along those lines voting wild locust trees or walnut or cedar or any other rapid ly growing trees these should beset along the line about twenty-live feet apart ami if pruned and trained every year in the course of four years they will be sufficiently large to serve in stead of posts for the wire fence aiii with this advantage they will last a life time an 1 never need repairs at the same time if walnuts are planted in'e mediate between each of the above sai.l trees by the fourth year from the time the walnuts are planted they will be large enought to hold the wires take a basket of walnuts with the hull on drop one half way be tween each tree along the line and press it into the ground with your heel and if done in the fall of the year they will grow and produce valuable timber even if not needed for the fence those who at lend to this will never regret it w k fk.w.ky a tower similar in

Hollywood Has Been Pressuring Australian Attorney General To Pressure ISPs Into Being Copyright Cops
from the because-of-course-they-are dept
Of course, Hollywood (AFACT is Australian-in-name-only -- a Wikileaks State Department cable revealed it to be an operation wholly controlled by the MPAA in Hollywood) continued to freak out, leading the Australian government to hold "stakeholder" meetings between the entertainment industry and the ISPs (note: no public representatives, even though they're the real stakeholders), to try to broker an agreement to make ISPs act as copyright cops. Of course, because Hollywood's position is inherently ridiculous, the ISPs noted that it was like negotiating with a brick wall, and talks soon broke down. The ISPs made it clear that it was silly to blame them when Hollywood itself was to blame by not making works available.
But, of course, Hollywood never stops. AFACT rebranded as the Australian Screen Association, and apparently has been very busy pumping new Australian Attorney General George Brandis full of misleading information and pure propaganda. We recently noted that Brandis was supporting website blocking and three strikes like programs, despite them failing elsewhere. And, he's also come out against fair use, because, fuck the public, Hollywood is upset.
Josh Taylor over at ZDnet used the Freedom of Information Act to get emails from between Neil Gane -- the "contractor" who ran AFACT and now the Australian Screen Association -- and Brandis, showing an ongoing campaign in which Gane continued to push Brandis with a series of one-sided misleading emails about how anti-consumer programs in other countries were the way forward:
In nine emails from Gane to the Attorney-General's department secretary, Roger Wilkins, and first assistant secretary in the civil law division, Matt Minogue, sent between the election and this year, obtained by ZDNet under Freedom of Information, Gane appears to be providing education notices of his own to the department, offering insights into how copyright infringement is being dealt with in other countries.There are a number of other emails, including a few that regular Techdirt readers may find especially amusing, including one mocking the "vocal minority" who were complaining that draconian copyright enforcement on things like Game of Thrones downloading might have serious unintended consequences. Update: The "vocal minority" has responded.
In one email pointing out Canada's moves, he notes that the Canadian government was not buying into the notion that ISPs should be compensated for having to warn customers for downloading infringing content.
Meanwhile, Brandis -- who has also been vehemently defending the NSA -- recently took a trip to the US, in part to explore issues around copyright. Did he meet with copyright scholars or other experts on these issues? Nope. Instead, he met with the director of the Center for Copyright Information, who runs the US's "six strikes" program. Brandis seems to have made up his mind, after being pushed on it by the MPAA, and with no respect at all to facts or reality.
All in all, Brandis appears to be only listening to one exceptionally biased party, even as a very long and thorough review process by the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) found that fair use was important, and that copyright reform needed to be modernized to pay attention to the important rights and uses of the public. But apparently, that all gets thrown out the window because a Hollywood spokesperson has a direct email line to the Attorney General.

Hey...if you are going to show your ego as readily and often as you do here, I'm gonna poke it!!
The interesting thing about many Epic video tests posted is, they don't feature a paid super talented pro kiter, they feature many regular folks who are very average.
I agree, there are many good lightwind kites now, ..lots of them 17/18/19 meters like your Cores.
The Infinity just happens to get it done with less meters of cloth than most.
The other kites in the 15-16M size usually have less power and turn slower than the Infinity.
I personally think that the Infinity has more power than it needs, and I would be dialing the power back in V3, not turning it up ..but I want a lightwind kite that will go right up to 20mph, and care less about single digit wind.
I think Dimitri very often provides video and audio proof that what he is trying to show about his gear is normal for normal people (and not just for super athletes) and aimed at showing off the gear and not the special talents of a sponsored rider.
It is not hard to hire a star talent and put out a video that will make people want to buy a piece of gear, most kite companies produce them all the time.
Lots of us have seen awesome footage of a hired star talent on gear that sometimes turns out to be less than good.
My point about your posts about "magic wind" is that you never believe the numbers presented BY ANYONE and believe you know better, without being there with the person who posted their findings, which I think is insulting to the poster ....in this case, nikalaitzian.
You can't possibly be the only one who can read a wind meter or judge wind numbers, there are a lot of people who have spent many years on the water and in the wind.

Occasionally, alert readers can catch a glimpse of the inner workings of the Postcards from Florida column, pull away the curtain to look behind the scenes at the creative process.
Often, there's some culinary motivation involved. At other times, the editorial direction is dictated by another guilty pleasure. In its most inspired moments, a road trip combines both, such as a recent visit to a spring-training baseball game in Sarasota that included multiple trips to the concession stands at Ed Smith Stadium.
This week, food was the inspiration.
For years, I have listened to a colleague brag about the mom-and-pop barbecue at Old Crow Real Pit Bar-B-Q in the rural Lake County town of Umatilla, about 40 miles northwest of Orlando. The restaurant (41100 N. State Road 19; 352-669-3922) makes a nice lunch destination for a leisurely weekend excursion. It's a good midway point between the parks and shops of Mount Dora to the south and the uncluttered landscape of the Ocala National Forest to the north.
Old Crow just marked its 27th anniversary in February, which speaks to the quality of the food and service. With a dining area that's not much bigger than the family room of a suburban home, the atmosphere is something like the spirit of a church social.
I had a tasty pork lunch plate, sampled all three of the homemade barbecue sauces (I'd recommend the mustard-based one), read my book, listened to my neighbors at the next table talk about local news. I didn't eat dessert, but one look at the giant slab of cake at another table was enough to realize that it would've been big enough to share.
There's not a lot of action in Umatilla, although there's a nice park just north of the restaurant that is dedicated to Pvt. Robert Miller McTureous Jr., a World War II hero.
At the Battle of Okinawa, the Altoona native waged his own kamikaze assault against enemy troops. Facing heavy fire, he was killed offering cover for the evacuation of other wounded soldiers. For his valor, he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
McTureous' childhood home is on the park grounds, although the modest museum wasn't open on my visit. Not to worry, there are other quiet diversions nearby, including an assortment of antiques stores, produce stands and tree-lined roadway.
The drive is good for your digestion.

As most are now aware, LED lamps are on the market that can replace many of the most commonly used lamps. However, you likely noticed that they are several times more expensive than the type of lamp that they are replacing.
CCT or Correlated Color Temperature is used to determine the color of light sources that are close to white.
HCL, or Human Centric Lighting, was all the industry buzz in 2015. Study after study indicated that the lighting around us affects both our mood and health. We were told not to look at our smart phones too late at night, as the blue light emitted prevents melatonin from being released.

On Overemphasizing Religion
Endless debates and frequent controversies on "the Muslims" and "Islam" in Germany continue to rage while a whole range of problems is completely ignored – the legal and economic situation of immigrants. By Mark Terkessidis
Immigrant youth projects in Berlin of the 90s gladly bore names such as "Disco and Doner." At the time, an effort was made to highlight cultural differences, yet in a manner particularly palatable for the locals. Thus, the doner kebab.
The multiculturalism of those days can justifiably be accused of having its unspoken focus on snack bars and restaurants.
Today, the public mood has changed noticeably. Multiculturalism has become a scapegoat. One frequently hears, and not only from conservative quarters, that its proponents were naïve, and dangerously so. This is because the multicultural model has promoted the emergence of "parallel societies."
What's this thing called "Integration"?
"Integration" is once again the magic formula. What this word exactly means remains to a large extent unclear. If one looks carefully at the debate swirling around the issue of integration, it seems remarkably similar to the incriminating concept of multiculturalism.
In fact, there is now a new multiculturalism that has less to do with culinary pleasures and a great deal more with spiritual matters – religion, or to be more precise, the mosque.
It is not for nothing that the centrally located new mosque in Cologne has taken on national political significance. When discussion turns to the topic of Germany as a country open to immigration, then hardly any other issue receives more attention than that of Islam.
The fate of the "Muslim woman" is a long-running theme. The relationship of Islam to terrorism is a matter of unending debate. And in a specially scheduled "Islamic summit," the aim is to determine the future role of Muslims in society.
Despite all opposition, the inclusion of Muslims is already settled. They are to be a sort of junior partner to the Christian faiths – not shoulder-to-shoulder, but at least symbolically visible at the architectural level.
As such, Islam is a religion that remains on trial. While Christian churches are regarded as modern and secular, there are still historical reservations concerning Islam.
"For 1400 years Islam has neglected to pose critical questions and to distance itself from politics," believes the "Islam critic" Necla Kelek. Muslims are thereby called upon to view blasphemous theater works or even to organize a reading of Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses in a mosque in Cologne.
It is clear that a double standard is being applied here, as no one would demand that a Catholic parish should invite Church critic Karl-Heinz Deschner to speak.
Who's a Muslim, who's a Christian?
When all is said and done, the question remains – who is actually referred to by the term "Muslim"? One frequently hears in the media nowadays that there are "some two to three million" Muslims living in Germany. In fact, not even 20% of "Muslims" are organized.
All of the others, even when they are strict atheists, are simply declared to be Muslims. The reverse conclusion is made when stating that the other 80 million inhabitants are Christians living in a Christian country.
The other thing criticized about the multiculturalism of the 1980s is that all of the inhabitants of a country are declared to be representatives of its culture, even though we live in a society that finds itself in an advanced state of detraditionalization.
Meanwhile, we have all become representatives of "our" religion. This is, however, similarly far removed from reality. No matter how many successful mega events such as the Ecumenical Church Day, the Christian churches continue to diminish in importance.
Half-hearted attempts to combat discrimination
While we are diligently debating the matter of "the Muslims," a whole series of structural problems are completely hidden from view – and the legal and economic situation of immigrants is of practically no concern.
For example, in recent years the simplification of attaining German citizenship has been burdened with so many immense constraints that fewer and fewer people are eligible – or even want it. There have only been extremely half-hearted attempts to combat discrimination in the area of education.
And with respect to the horrific level of unemployment among immigrants, the "National Integration Plan" only offers an orgy of declarations of intent. Discussion here is of "promoting" a "more intensive commitment" or of "developing a concept." One will find very little in terms of concrete proposals.
Self-fulfilling prophecy
In addition, the specific difficulties of other immigrant groups are completely ignored, such as the extremely high proportion of pupils of Serbian origin attending remedial classes, the educational catastrophe suffered by those of Italian origin, and the over-proportional rate of unemployment among Greek immigrants, despite their high level of education.
Finally, emphasizing religious attributes only helps to promote the scenario of a permanent "clash of cultures." And it is hardly surprising then that such emphasis also affects the perceptions of minorities about themselves.
A number of polls show that people of Turkish origin increasingly characterize themselves as religious, although this self-projection does not correspond with their actual behavior – the majority still do not attend the mosque.
Looking at the experiences of other countries, such as Britain, a clear conclusion can be drawn – it is not advisable to pursue the current mix of stressing religious differences, continued discrimination, and economic isolation. That is unless one truly desires a "clash of cultures."

Integration and Immigration Policy in Germany
Immigration Law as "Integration Prevention Law"
In his commentary, the chairman of the German Federal Advisory Council for Foreign Residents, Memet Kiliç, criticizes the tightening of immigration law in Germany. Instead of promoting integration, the "old defensive spirit" of the law on aliens is creeping into immigration law, says Kiliç
Islam in Germany
The Call of the Muezzin Is No Longer to Be Overheard
The battle for official recognition will change Muslims in Germany. Society will demand more from them in exchange for their becoming part of the official structures than merely obedience to the laws. By Jörg Lau
Muslims in Germany
Dangerous Ignorance
Far too little research has been done on the attitudes of Muslims toward the social and political system in Germany. This ignorance fuels conspiracy theories on "the Muslims" and terror, says Eberhard Seidel

"Forrest Gump" ¿¿¿¿ (U.S.; Robert Zemeckis, 1994) From its very first image — a dizzyingly spectacular yet effortless-looking widescreen crane shot that follows a breeze-driven white feather as it wafts through sky and treetops, drifts down to a courthouse park in Savannah, Ga., drops briefly onto a pedestrian's shoulder, touches a passing car and then floats over and settles onto the right shoe of Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) himself — this movie shows an extraordinary mix of technological mastery and effervescent vision. It's both massively inventive and light as air. The man on the bench, who then begins a rambling declamation and life story to a succession of fellow bus-stop sitters — some bored, some absorbed, all fairly dubious — is a warmly ingenuous 40-something Alabaman in a white suit. But, as he mildly insists, he has managed, despite an IQ hovering near 75 and a name (Forrest) borrowed from the founder of the Ku Klux Klan, to become an All-American halfback, a Vietnam War hero and Medal of Honor winner, a beacon of the peace movement, an international Ping-Pong champ, a shrimping tycoon profiled in Fortune and a nationally revered jogging guru. 2, 7 p.m. Wednesday

"The Man Who Wasn't There" ¿¿¿¿ (U.S.; Joel Coen, 2001) "The Man" of the title is a taciturn barber named Ed Crane (Billy Bob Thornton), a chain-smoking middle-class loser trapped in a joyless existence, who narrates the story of his own downfall in a flat, toneless voice so empty of emotion it can chill you with nameless dread. Ed is one of those people so freakily detached from life that everyone else usually ignores him — which never seems to bother him. One person who doesn't ignore Ed is a squirmy, fast-talking itinerant little customer named Creighton Tolliver (Jon Polito). Tolliver doffs his toupee at Raffo's barbershop and later not only offers Ed a tasty business proposition — to become his silent partner in a new, trend-setting string of dry-cleaning emporiums — but even makes a flirty pass at the long-chaste Ed in Tolliver's fleabag little hotel room. This financial temptation proves to be the loose string that unravels all their lives. 7, 9:15 p.m., 11:30 p.m. Friday; 1 p.m. Sunday

One of the most perplexing and emblematic entries in the mid-century European experimentalist film movement, "Last Year at Marienbad" remains as dreamy, creepy, enigmatic and maddening as in its own time. There are three characters who dominate, all named only by letters: X, or a stranger (Giorgio Albertazzi); A, his possible lover (Delphine Seyrig); and M, her escort or husband (Sacha Pitoeff). Albertazzi repeatedly insists he and Seyrig met last year at Marienbad — or was it Frederiksbad? — where they fell in love and agreed to reunite to make their escape. For much of the movie, she argues she doesn't know what he's talking about. She may — or may not — be slain by a gunshot from the jealous Pitoeff. 7, 9 p.m. Saturday; 3:15 p.m. Sunday

Barry,It looks like you are making continuing progress. Did your 12-year old critic have a chance to sample the latest pizzas and to render an opinion?Peter
Excellent looking pizza Barry. I think the evoo omission gave your bottom a more uniform professional look. You are making good pizza my friend, congratulations! Glad to hear your dough balls are acting a bit better for you......
12-year-old critic decided to become 12-year-old helper, and we just mixed a batch of dough together for a (just under) 3-day cold ferment. The only change from last batch was to drop the preferment percentage to 14 (from 17 last time) to compensate for the longer cold ferment. Sunday is pizza night!12-year-old helper looked at the preferment calculator, and picked up bakers percentages in a snap (faster than me, I think). He wants to bring it in for his math class. Who knew Barry
This is so awesome Barry....congratulations man!
One question. The finished dough temperature (after its second 30 minute rest) was 68 degrees - the house is cool, so both flour and water are as well. Should I use warmer water to get the temperature higher before cold fermentation? I seem to remember that Tom Lehmann talks about a finished dough temp in the mid to high 70's.
I'm still looking for advice on this.Thanks.Barry
What's the pre-heat time on that 3/4 soap Barry? Thanks.
I have the sure fire method for removing the sourness. Use IDY Seriously, though, I am by no means an expert on SD, but I believe you can mitigate bacterial activity with washing- adding a little starter to a lot of water and flour at room temp, letting the yeast activity build and then repeating. This should favor yeast over bacteria.At least, I think that's the gist of it. I'm probably way off. Someone will correct me, or, if they don't, do a search on 'washing.'Keep in mind that acid is a browning inhibitor, so your exceedingly sour dough is probably skewing the bake results a bit. A less sour dough probably will fall somewhere in between Glutenboy's and this one.
50/50 Central Milling Organic ABC Malted/High Mountain-High Protein62% hydration7.5% Ischia starter (at 50% hydration)1.5% EVOOI'm thinking that I will either cut back on the starter (maybe 5%) or decrease the time (to around 55 hours) next time, even though that puts me out of whack with Craig's calculations (I'm playing at the outer limit of his yellow range, so I now that I'm already an the outlier). Reactions?
It's interesting that JD got the exact opposite result here: http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,22649.msg232323.html#msg232323 in that the model would appear to have significantly underestimated his fermentation. Is it right that there was no salt in your formula? If not, that certainly contributed to the rapid fermentation.Also, if I remember right, you told me that you used a non-contact thermometer to determine your 55F temp. Point it at 5 different things, and you can get 5 different results based on the emissivity of the object. It could easily be giving you a reading that is off by a couple degrees, and that too would make a big difference. I'd be curious to know if you get the same result with a traditional thermometer that you know to be calibrated correctly.

Pope Francis fingerprinted _ to renew passport
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Pope Francis may be the head of the Vatican state, but he's not giving up the right to travel as just another Argentine citizen.
The leader of the Roman Catholic Church has renewed his Argentine passport and national identity card, and Argentina's Vatican envoy told The Associated Press on Monday that the pope insisted on paying for the documents himself.
Renewing Argentine passports and identity cards usually cost about $55 at the official exchange rate.
"He wanted it for when he travels. The Argentine passport is valuable for that!" Ambassador Juan Pablo Cafiero said.
The Interior Ministry announced that the pope went through the same speedy process that all Argentines can now enjoy.
Still, the process was speedier than most for Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
Cafiero said he and a deputy went over to the pope's hotel in the Vatican gardens on Friday to personally take Francis' picture and fingerprints and record his signature using a notebook computer. By Monday, the documents were printed and ready for delivery.
The ministry distributed official photos of the documents that were manipulated to blot out Bergoglio's identity number and signature.
In contrast to the smiling Francis whose welcoming gestures have thrilled Roman Catholics around the world, that photo shows him posing in his white papal outfit in classic Argentine style, with a serious and even annoyed expression.
Since popes automatically pick up Vatican citizenship, Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo said the passport renewal "fills us with pride."
Associated Press Writer Nicole Winfield at the Vatican contributed to this report.

Dungeon Runners plans to go live with Membership Package on January 31st 2007.
We are pleased to announce the Dungeon Runners Membership Package will be made available to current players for $4.99 a month, starting January 31st, 2007.
We've come to the point in our grand experiment known as Dungeon Runners where we need to test billing and you are our guinea pig!
Some of you may not have read the official website or any other information on the game and just got right in there to hack and indeed to slash. We don't blame you.
However, it's important to note that while the basic game of Dungeon Runners will always be free to download and play; there will be a membership package that offers some good reasons to pay $4.99 a month.
Remember, even if you don't want to pay now or ever - you can continue to play for as long as you want - you'll just not have access to the good stuff (see below). And you want to the good stuff...don't you? We'll never kick you out - unless you're very naughty - and you'll never be made to feel unwelcome.
The benefits of membership i.e., the 'good stuff' currently looks like this:
Access to all top level armor, weapons and items. Not only will you be more powerful than non-members, with superior stats - you'll also look cooler than them as irrefutably determined by our science team.
Stackable potions - taking up far less room in your inventory and therefore allowing space for many more potions than normal (you'll need 'em where you're going) and of course for all that lovely loot.
Log-in queue priority. If the Dungeons are full, you jump to the head of the log-in queue. Enjoy a rush of superiority as you glide by the 'common people'.
Hold on to more stuff! Members get access to the Dungeon Runners bank - essentially a storage facility. As you know, you pick up a LOT of stuff in Dungeon Runners. Imagine being forced to sell or simply drop loot just because your inventory is maxed out and there's nowhere else to keep your stuff. That would suck. This prevents or at least alleviates the suckage.
Testing the billing system goes like this:
Using complex formulas and the occasional ceiling cat, we will look to see how many of you decide to pay for the current benefits of membership. If that number is impressive enough, we'll know we're on the right track.
The test isn't about how much stuff is in the membership package; it's about what is in the membership package. We plan to add more and more good stuff to the package and we will, but we want to make sure it's the right stuff.
If we hear the sound of crickets or impolite booing, we'll know we got it wrong and work to fix it. Nobody can force you to pay - you'll pay if you like what's on offer - it's as simple as that.
And that's the whole point; we want you to love this game and what better, more honest way to find out if we're doing the right thing than for people to vote with their wallets?
So what happens when we throw the switch?
Many if not all of you currently have in-game items that are considered 'members only'. What happens to these items once billing is turned on?
If you decide to continue playing Dungeon Runners without membership all your members-only items and privileges will become inaccessible. Your items will appear in your inventory, but you won't be able to use them or gain any benefits from them. You can hold onto them (they'll take up inventory space), sell them or drop them.
If you decide to become a member, you can carry on as before with full access to everything.
Basically, your membership is like an on/off switch. If you're a member you can use all your members-only items and access your members-only privileges. If you're not a member, you can't.
Dungeon Runners will continue to be 'invite only' for the next few months as we continue to test systems and fine-tune the various ways of providing you with a fun game to run around, kill the bad guys and get lots of loot.
We want to get things right and you are helping us do that.

Lady Bulldogs rebound to win in three games.
After dropping the first game, the Rolla High School volleyball team regrouped to take the final two games and defeat Ozark Conference foe West Plains 16-25, 25-22, 25-15 Thursday at the RHS gym.
The Lady Bulldogs improve to 12-9.
Junior Aarika Froehlich had 11 kills and four blocks for the Lady Bulldogs while junior Kelsi James had 18 assists, nine digs and two blocks; senior Emily Dodge four blocks and eight kills; senior Gabe Otte had three kills and five digs, and junior
Jessi Kaczmarek had seven digs.
"We came out in the first game and played sloppy, didn't serve tough and didn't pass well," said RHS head coach Julie Carver. "They controlled the whole game and we didn't respond. The second game was a slow start but we finally started serving tougher, which kept them from running their offense and we started passing better.
"Overall, it was a good win for us, to lose the first game and battle back and get the last two games for the home victory."
The Rolla junior varsity game is to compete in the Waynesville JV Tournament on Saturday. The Lady Bulldog varsity squad plays again Monday at Owensville (5:30 p.m.).
Rolla stats
Emily Dodge: 8 kills, 1 dig, 4 blocks.
Kelsi James: 3 kills, 18 assists, 1 ace, 9 digs, 2 blocks.
Vasilisa Shamina: 3 kills, 5 digs, 1 block.
Aarika Froehlich: 11 kills, 1 dig, 4 blocks.
Sofie Luna: 1 ace, 5 digs.
Gabe Otte: 3 kills, 1 ace, 5 digs, 1 block.
Jessi Kaczmarek: 1 kill, 7 digs.
Aideen McEnaney: 2 digs.

Scripture: Psalm 26:2 NIV Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
Observation: David was asking the Lord to examine his heart and mind. The heart is the seat of our emotions. What makes us joyful? What makes us really glad? What puts a permanent smile on our face? The mind is the seat of our thinking and choosing. How many of our thoughts center on God? When making decisions, how often do we consider what would best please God?
Application: In Navy boot camp and in Hospital Corps School, we regularly opened our living quarters to inspections. My heart and my mind are the living quarters for my inner life.
Prayer: Lord, I invite you to inspect my inner living quarters. Amen

text: Well, I was on the FIRST LEAK of Gingerbread for the DX. Everything was running fine, but I wanted to try out a new rom for gingerbread that was based on the NEWEST LEAK (.588), but in order to do so, I had to sbf back to 2.3.340. So, I backed up my DX's current state, plugged it into my PC, shut it off, booted into the bootloader, opened RSD Lite 4.8, selected the appropriate SBF file, and clicked start. Everything started off without a problem, but a few seconds later, I checked on the RSD Lite and it said "Error: Failed the flashing process." I then googled around for an answer. Answers that I found said to try to restart the sbf and that it would usually fix it. I then did that, but after doing so, I got a new error. The new error states "Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Error getting subscriber unit information." What do I do now? I'm completely stuck and do not know what to do. I have sbf'd in the past and NEVER had any problems, so I'm quite calm at the moment. Please help as I would like to get this fixed quickly! Thanks in advance.

Some people believe we are a nation based on the rule of law, I would contend we are now a nation based on emotion and self-interest.
In 2010 the Democrat-controlled Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act otherwise known as Obamacare. Yes, the Democrats used emotions, the tugging at the heart strings of so many Americans, thereby protecting their political self-interest. Yes, this law was designed to guarantee the political power of the Democratic Party for years just as Social Security was.
Now we have some Republicans say we must not fund the implementation of this law. The Democrats say you cannot do that, it is the law and you cannot change or take away the funding.
When the Democrats passed this law they made sure most of it would not be implemented until after the 2012 elections, now we see the president delaying the implementation of parts of the law, granting exemptions to unions and subsidies to Congress and Congressional employees.
Why are unions receiving exemptions from paying the tax on these so-called Cadillac health insurance plans as called for in the Affordable Care Act? Why are Congressional staffers being exempted or being subsidized for their heath care? Why are parts of the law that affect insurance companies and business being delayed until 2015 along with the exemptions and subsidies?
Is it because there is an election in 2014 and this is in the best interest of Democrat politicians or is it because this is an ill-conceived law that those who called for passage might find out what was in it, as then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi said "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it" that might hurt Democrats' election bids.
It would seem the Democrat politicians have granted omnipotent power to themselves, and bestowed serfdom onto their Republican counterparts.
