A swimming pool granuloma is a long-term (chronic) skin infection. It iscaused by the bacteria Mycobacterium marinum.
Alternative Names
Aquarium granuloma; Fish tank granuloma
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
A swimming pool granuloma occurs when water containing Mycobacterium marinum bacteria enters a break in the skin. Signs of a skin infection appear about 2 - 3 weeks later.
Risks include exposure to swimming pools, salt water aquariums, or ocean fish.
The main symptom is a reddish bump (
The elbows, fingers, and back of the hands are the most common body parts affected. The knees and legs are less commonly affected.
The nodules may break down and leave an open sore. Sometimes, they spread up the limb. Most often they stay a simple skin sore.
Signs and tests
Tests to diagnose swimming pool granuloma include:
Skin testto check for tuberculosis infection, which may look similar Skin biopsyand culture
- X-ray or other imaging tests for infection that has spread to the joint or bone
Antibiotics are used to treat this infection. They are chosen based on the results of the culture and skin biopsy.
You may need several months of treatment with more than one antibiotic. Surgery may also be needed.
Expectations (prognosis)
Swimming pool granulomas can usually be cured with antibiotics. However, you may have scarring.
Tendon,joint or bone infections sometimesoccur. The disease may be harder to treat in patients whose immune system is not working well.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you develop reddish bumps on your skinthat do not clear with home treatment.
Wash hands and armsthoroughlyafter cleaning aquariums. Or, wear rubber gloves when cleaning.

Ocean Survey Vessel BOLD Visits Juneau, Alaska
Release Date: 07/02/2008
Contact Information: Contact: Tim Hoffman, Division of Water, (907) 269-0598 or email firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit www.dec.alaska.gov/water/ Tony Brown, EPA/Seattle, (206) 553-1203, firstname.lastname@example.com
DEC and EPA team up for cruise ship research
(Juneau, Alaska – July 2, 2008) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Ocean Survey Vessel BOLD is hosting a free open house for the public from noon to 5:30 PM at the U.S. Coast Guard Station Juneau Pier on Wednesday, July 2.
A team of researchers aboard the 224-foot vessel is using its wide range of monitoring and assessment equipment to study the potential impact of cruise ships on Alaska's waters. Scientists and researchers will be available during the open house to explain the scientific equipment on board and how they will be using it during their three weeks in Alaska.
The water quality studies are a collaborative effort between EPA and Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation.
"We are partnering with EPA to study the characteristics and behavior of treated wastewater discharged from stationary large cruise ships," said Denise Koch, DEC's cruise ship program manager. "The study will be conducted in Skagway Harbor, selected because it represents a sort of worst case from the standpoint of cruise ship density and a low energy receiving environment. We will use a dye that is nearly invisible to the eye, but easily detected by our equipment, to see how the discharged wastewater behaves in the relatively calm and sheltered waters around Skagway."
In addition to the dilution study, EPA is also interested in studying the impact of nutrients in the cold waters of Alaska.
"We are delighted to welcome the OSV BOLD and its crew to Juneau, Alaska," said Greg Kellogg, EPA's Alaska Operations Office Deputy Director. "The OSV BOLD represents EPA's technological leadership in environmental protection and aquatic research. This will be an excellent opportunity for the public to hear directly from scientists and researchers aboard the BOLD, to better understand their work and how it will benefit Alaska."
This new research will provide data on effects of wastewater from cruise ships once it has been processed by the onboard treatment systems and discharged to Alaska's waters.
"DEC's mission is to improve and protect Alaska's water quality for all users," said Koch. "We need a good understanding of what the quality of our water is now, and a better understanding of how different users will impact it. The work being carried out on the OSV BOLD will help us do just that."
For more information on the OSV BOLD go to EPA's web site at: www.epa.gov/bold/ and for Alaska's Cruise Ship Program go to DEC's web site at: www.dec.alaska.gov/water/cruise_ships/

This week's episode was not short on drama. And I don't know about you, but I was still traumatized by last week's stripper scene.
Apparently when Phaedra feels bad about something she shows up with peace offer. Just like she brought Kim gifts, she stopped past Kandi's boutique with a cake. Such a Southern lady.
They have a few laughs about the stripper's talent and perhaps he should be in Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum. Kandi makes light of the situation by asking Phaedra what she would do if she could please herself. "I probably would never go to work," Phaedra replies and they both burst into laughter.
Cynthia tries her hand at hosting a runway show. Let's just say I agree with Phaedra and sometimes, "You want to look at models not really hear them." Nervous energy got the best of her as she fumbled horribly over her words and continually corrected herself.
She could have money on the mind since she may have to fork over lots of it because one of Peter's investors backs out. Although Cynthia's mom tries to sit with her girls to hash out their issues, Cynthia's sister is not having it and literally breaks down once she finds out about the possibility of Cynthia giving up more money. I kind-of agree with her sister. I mean I can't keep giving you money for your reckless ideas that obviously aren't working.
Over in the park, Sheree takes her youngest child out to play while she meets with her children's father Bob Whitfield. He's a retired NFL player and apparently either too broke or too ignorant to pay his child support. He basically confirms that he doesn't plan on ever paying up and she's going to have to take him to court.
Even though Sheree is a millionaire and doesn't need his money, it's the principal of the thing. After a brief yelling battle, Sheree throws her bottle of water in his face and storms off. She is thinking about hiring Phaedra to be her attorney to collect child support but it was short lived. She tears up at the thought of the hassle, so she decides to hold off for now.
Since she didn't return her calls Kandi goes to visit her mom, and let me tell you -- Joyce is still PISSED. I'm not sure if this is the best time bring up your adult toy line idea but I don't even think Joyce is listening anymore. She ends the conversation with, "I hope that when she's older, your daughter has more respect for you than you had for me at that party." OUCH!
Kim being preggers obviously isn't interesting to the show producers since she's barely in any of these scenes. She talks a bit with her daughter, Brielle, just to reassure her that baby Kroy isn't going to change their family. I think Brielle misses Big Poppa's wallet too.
Speaking of big, NeNe (and her ego) was asked by her new bestie Cynthia to host the premiere of Peter's bar, Bar One. You know since NeNe is a big celebrity in Atlanta and all. After NeNe leaves, Peter tells Cynthia that he doesn't need her money to bail him out, he'll handle it. Let's see how long Bar One lasts without that investment money.
Since NeNe is a celebrity she shows up an hour late to the Bar One premiere. As it stands, it happened to be a really good scandalous reason why she waited until the party was almost over to arrive.
While she was married to Gregg she had a one-night stand with a guy named Charles. Somehow, for drama sake, he happened to be at this party with his then-girlfriend Marlo. But as far as we know, these are just rumors and NeNe was just fashionably late.
Is anyone else excited to watch all of the lies unravel, it can't be just me?

For the second time in less than a week, improper wiring on a dock is being blamed for a fatality believed to be caused by electroctution.
For the second time in less than a week, improper wiring on a dock is being blamed for a fatality believed to be caused by electroctution.
The victim, identified as Jennifer L. Lankford, 26, of Hazelwood, Mo., was killed while swimming with two children near a dock at the 4-mile marker of the Gravois Arm.
The incident was reported Saturday evening near Dry Branch Cove. Lankford was killed "when a current of electricity" hit the water.
Lankford apparently swam toward the dock while the two children swam away from the structure. The children were uninjured.
Lankford's name was released on Monday by the Missouri Highway Patrol. An autopsy was planned for early this week.
Lankford is the third fatality since July 4 when Brayden Anderson, 8, and his thirteen year old sister, Alexandra Anderson, died while swimming near a dock at the 6.5-mile marker on the Gravois Arm.
According to a preliminary autopsy report released late last week on Brayden Anderson, the cause of death was inadequate delivery of oxygen to the brain due to insufficient oxygen in the blood induced by obstruction of the mouth and nose by water complicated by passage of electrical current through the body.
The preliminary autopsy report on Alexandra Anderson has not been released.
The dock where the Anderson children were swimming did not have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
Missouri Highway Patrol - Water Patrol Division Capt. Matt Walz recommends that unless dock owners are confident the electricity ton their structures was installed by a licensed professional, they should have the wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
"The combination of electricity and water is too dangerous to take chances," he said.
Over the Memorial Day weekend, three people were rushed to the hospital for treatment after receiving an electrical shock while swimming near a dock.
In that incident, the dock reportedly had no GFI breakers on the supply to the dock, no disconnect at the shoreline and the ground from the dock to shore was insufficient, according to the Gravois Fire Protection District, the agency that responded to the call.

There are benefits to throwing the door open and seeing who comes sauntering through it. If airports thrive on traffic and visitors, perhaps there is benefit to hosting fly-ins both large and small throughout the year, whenever the opportunity presents itself. Failing the willingness of the management to host the event, why not let the public decide? Whatever works for your airport, your tenants and users, just might work for pilots and visitors from farther afield than you would ever imagine.
Most of us have spent a long, cold, snowy winter and would love to find a plausible reason to take a few days off, head south, and catch a few welcome rays of golden sunshine. If you can do it with friends and throw a good meal into the mix, all the better.
I see an opportunity. Actually, a bunch of other people saw an opportunity and grabbed it. I'm just glad to be able to watch from the sidelines and enjoy the benefits of general aviation as a big ol' brotherhood (sisterhood) of great people.
For the 11th year in a row the Cardinal Flyers are gathering in my neighborhood to swap stories and share a little friendly tech talk. Members of this type club gather annually to revel in the company of other pilots and passengers who appreciate the luxurious speed and sleek good looks of perhaps the sexiest high wing ever made – the Cessna Cardinal. Scheduled for the week prior to Sun 'n Fun, only 14 miles from show central at Gilbert Field in Winter Haven, Florida – the Cardinals are coming, the Cardinals are coming! What a way to kick off the start of the airshow season, the long awaited arrival of Spring, and visit with friends who know a thing or two about flying cross country in search of a good time.

Peru returns bodies of victims of internal war to families 3 decades later
- Image 1 of 3

- Image 3 of 3
LIMA, Peru – Authorities in Peru's southern mountains have returned to their families the remains of 26 people killed in fighting between the army and Shining Path rebels in the 1980s.
The remains, including two women and three children, were exhumed from common graves in the Apurimac region late last year. Investigators managed to identify the remains so that they could be returned to their families for burial.
The bodies were handed over in a ceremony in the city of Cuzco on Tuesday. The families carried the remains of their loved ones in white coffins down the stone streets of the city, which serves as the gateway to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.
The victims were believed to be local residents and villagers caught in the cross fire between soldiers and rebels, officials said.
Authorities in southeast Peru have been working in recent years to identify common graves left over from the bloody war between Maoist rebels and soldiers as part of an investigation into human rights abuses.
According to Peru's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, 69,000 people were killed or disappeared between 1980 and 2000 in Peru's armed conflict.

GDT – Oilers 6, Red Wings 5, Oct 29, 2009 – Game 13
The Oilers are looking for a bit of revenge for last year, having lost all 4 of the games the two teams played (including one 8-3 disaster). Both teams are struggling right now. The Oilers haven't scored a goal in 7 periods now, and have lost 3 in a row. The Red Wings are coming off a 5-4 win over Vancouver on Tuesday, however they lost their last 3 (albeit two of them were after regulation time). The Red Wings are also struggling to keep the puck out of their own net, allowing the 5th most goals against per game at 3.40 GA/Game. The Red Wings are going to be hoping they can turn things around on their favorite team to pick on from last year.
Edmonton Oilers Projected Line-Up (Lines from Oilers Nation)
Penner — Horcoff — Hemsky
Cogliano — Gagner — Nilsson
Jacques — Brule — O'Sullivan
Moreau — Stortini — MacIntyre
Strudwick — Gilbert
Grebeshkov — Chorney
Peckham — Smid
Detroit Red Wings Projected Line-Up (Based on HFBoards)
– Fernando Pisani has been practicing. He could be back tonight, although I'd assume that he won't be back any earlier than Saturday, unless they really need him back.
– Lubomir Visnovsky did not practice on Wednesday. He has the flu, possibly of the swine variety. The Oilers are treating it as worst-case-scenario and treating him as though he does have H1N1.
– All the usual injured players are still injured. Souray and Staios seem to take a step forward and then two steps back in their recovery. Not good. Actually, word now is that Staios had a pretty good practice with the team today, so he's getting there. But he won't be in tonight.
0:42 – EDM – Jacques from Brule, O'Sullivan
The Oil get off to a great jump with the Brule line looking very energetic out there. Brule gets a pass from O'Sully and shoots it on net and Jacques puts in the rebound.
9:09 – EDM – Penner from Horcoff, Hemsky
Horcoff receives the pass from Hemsky and hammers it on net. Penner bats in the rebound while crashing the crease.
12:24 – EDM – PP – Hemsky from Penner, Horcoff
Hemsky fires it top cheese on Howard on the PP.
Other Highlights
– Gagner gets clobbered by Stuart early in the period. Cogliano stands up for him (oh noes) at first, but Peckham jumps in right away and gets a penalty.
– Shortly after that penalty expires, Cogliano jumps on the ice to replace Penner and plays the puck before Penner can get off, giving the Red Wings another powerplay.
– The Oilers successfully kill off both powerplays quite well.
– During the intermission, they have Craig MacTavish on the panel talking about Dustin Penner: "He plays better hockey when he knows I'm on the (TSN) panel". Too funny. To MacTavish's credit, he also says that he does take some credit (although not all of the credit) for Penner's poor play last year. Takes a big man to admit it.
0:58 – EDM – Hemsky from Penner
Penner steals it from Bertuzzi and chips it ahead to Hemsky who goes in alone on the breakaway while Howard shits his pants. Hemsky threads it through the five hole.
6:15 – DET – Helm from Filppula, Stuart
Filppula gets the puck from Stuart just as his penalty expires and passes it ahead to Helm. Helm breaks down the wing and slaps one past Khabibulin, blocker side top corner.
9:05 – EDM – PPG – Horcoff from Penner, Grebeshkov
A goalline stand with Penner, Horcoff, Grebeshkov and four Red Wings battling for a puck. Credit to Penner for continually jamming away. Horcoff comes out the winner on this one as he manages to get it past Howard.
12:50 – DET – Zetterberg from Kronwall, Datsyuk
Zetterberg slaps a wild shot from the boards down near the goalie that Khabibulin saves. However the rebound hits Chorney and ends up in the net.
Other Highlights
– Hemmer steals the puck behind the net from Howard, who is back there playing the puck, and he tries to bank it in. You know Howard's nervous about every play he makes now.
– Horcoff is playing like a new man on the top line again. He drives to the net on one play fighting off Filppula and draws a penalty.
– Hemsky does his marquee through the legs move, drawing awe from the crowd.
– On one particular shift, the kids are grinding away like they've been taking lessons from Stortini. I like what I see.
– Oilers get lucky on one as Leino rips a shot off the bar on a fairly open net.
– Khabibulin has made some good saves tonight but has also looked pretty shakey at times, maybe due to not being truly tested enough.
6:32 – DET – Ericsson from Draper, Eaves
Ericsson slaps one that beats Khabibulin.
7:47 – DET – Bertuzzi from Datsyuk
Holmstrom screens Khabibulin and Bertuzzi fires it in the top shelf.
12:53 – DET – Eaves from Helm, Ericsson
A lazy shot from the dot beats Khabibulin glove side.
Other Highlights
– Oilers are on their heels early on. Detroit playing hard and crashing the crease. A shot hits the post and the Oil get lucky again as the Red Wings are fighting back.
– Oilers penalty kill has been fairly good, although the first one of the 3rd period they looked a bit sloppy at times. Thankfully some luck got them through that one.
– Quinn screams at the entire bench about their bad breakout that lead to the 3rd goal, according to Ferraro.
– Stuart and Gagner tussle a bit. For whatever reason, Stuart looks like he attempts to knee Gagner in the groin..? Not sure what he was trying there, but he stuck his leg between Gagner's.
– This period has been nearly all Detroit.
– Nilsson and Cogliano go in on Howard on a 2 on 2 with Nilsson carrying the puck. Nilsson elects to make a difficult pass for some reason and Ferraro calls him on it.
– Wow, no respect for Howard as he gets run in the crease again.
– Commentators note that the kid line is a combined -9 tonight, yet they are out there with 2:30 left in a tie game.. and again he goes to it with just over a minute left.
– Wow, Khabibulin saves a goal on a shot I have no idea how he saw. He kicked out the pad at the last second on the point shot.
No scoring.
Other Highlights
– I officially hate Pepsi and their Canada chant idea. Worst marketing idea ever. Those chants are horrible.
– Gilbert gets a glorious chance in OT as Hemsky carries it into the Red Wings zone and drops it for him. He tries to deke Howard, but somehow he saves it.
– First half of that OT was all Detroit, but Edmonton poured it on in the last minute and a half and almost won it.
Gagner – deke – NO GOAL
Williams – deke – NO GOAL
Hemsky – deke – NO GOAL
Datsyuk – shot – NO GOAL
O'Sullivan – shot – GOAL – O'Sullivan rips the shot from the slot and beats Howard middle blocker side off the post, off the middle bar and out.
Zetterberg – shot – NO GOAL
How not to hold a lead. Quinn must have been livid on the bench. Credit to the top line for having a spectacular night. Credit to the kid line for being a combined -9 (they were on the ice for 3 of the 4 final Detroit goals). Khabibulin had a fairly bad night at points as well too. Some of the goals weren't his fault, but others were easily saveable. He did make some big saves though, to his credit. Really though, this meltdown can be 100% blamed on the injuries/flu to Souray, Staios and Visnovsky. A rookie defense, and we're asking for problems.
Plus, the kid line got victimized for a few goals. It's a win, and I'm sure the Oilers will take that. Especially considering they managed to muster up some goals… but I think Howard can take some credit on that too.
The Oilers were outshot 20 to 6 in the 3rd period. I think that pretty much tells the story of the comeback. They got lucky. Real lucky.
As far as positives, Horcoff looked great tonight and had a goal and an assist. Penner had a 4 point night. Hemsky looked pretty good as well. Beyond that, I thought Brule had a pretty good game, as did O'Sullivan (hmm, apparently Quinn didn't like his play though, as he commented about being mad at him for some reason before he scored the winner – looks like O'Sully was on the ice for 2 goals, so that could be why). The bottom line of Moreau, Stortini and MacIntyre was pretty non-existant tonight. MacIntyre saw about a minute and a half of ice time tonight. It's pretty obvious Quinn doesn't need him in the line up and he's only here until players get healthy.
Well, I will say this was an entertaining one, but not the way I wanted to see it won. Would have liked to have seen the Oilers play 60 minutes tonight.

Jimmy Howard gets the start tonight. Detroit's goaltending is horrendous, and after the first line they don't really have too much. Their defense looks pretty solid though, so we gotta penetrate that and get lots of shots through.
According to Jason Gregor, Horpensky line is back and so is the kid line
Racki, the Oil need a win, but I'm like you, I can't see it happening, not unless they get some hellacious excellent bounces. . . .
I am never excited when I see Stortini centering MacIntyre–though I am sure that we all love Stortini. On a positive note, I am actually excited to see the rumored return of both Horpensky as well as the Kid line. On the back end (defensemen), there are no words to describe how our lineup looks. At least, Howard might help to end our scoring slump even if Bulin can't pull off a win.

Thanks to sunny skies and long growing seasons, farms and forests in the Southeastern United States will play a major role in efforts to produce biomass for biofuels that reduce our nation's dependence on fossil fuels.
And Agricultural Research Service scientists are focused on finding ways to tap into the region's potential.
Government mandates call for producing up to 36 billion gallons of biofuel to help meet the nation's transportation needs by 2022. While 15 billion gallons of that is expected to come from grain ethanol, the remaining 21 billion gallons will be derived from other feedstocks, such as sugarcane; perennial grasses, like switchgrass; and oilseed crops, such as rapeseed, pennycress, camelina, and soybeans.
To achieve that goal, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has forged a number of strategic partnerships through its five USDA Regional Biomass Research Centers to coordinate research and tap into its nationwide resources and expertise. The centers are networks of scientists and facilities from two USDA agencies — ARS and the Forest Service Research and Development — in five regions across the United States: Central-East, Southeastern, Northern-East, Western, and Northwestern.
Of the five regions, the Southeast has the greatest natural capacity in the continental United States, with sufficient sunshine, soils, water, and other natural resources to produce more than 10 billion gallons of advanced biofuels each year, nearly a third of the 36 billion-gallon production target.
The goal for researchers is to develop high-yield bioenergy crops and production methods that minimize use of water and fertilizers and are compatible with current land uses. The systems have to be cost-effective for both growers and biofuel producers.
Researchers also want to enhance environmental quality by increasing carbon sequestration and reduce the amount of nitrogen runoff to waterways.
"We need to understand all of the implications of helping this country meet its future energy needs by producing plants that will be viable sources of fuel. That means examining a number of issues, such as whether these crops can be produced on less productive lands in ways that preserve environmental quality," says William Anderson, an ARS geneticist in Tifton, Georgia, and co-coordinator of the Southeastern Regional Biomass Center.
ARS researchers working in Georgia, Louisiana, Nebraska, Hawaii, and elsewhere, with expertise in a wide range of scientific fields, are working toward developing a range of biomass crops for biofuels. They are finding that each crop offers a different set of challenges — and possible rewards.
Work by Anderson and others, for instance, shows that napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum) and varieties of sugarcane known as "energy cane" (Saccharum sp.) may work best in southern portions of Georgia and the rest of the region's southern tier.
By comparison, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), a biomass crop being developed in the Midwest, is more cold tolerant than subtropical grasses and works better than energy cane in more northern areas of the Southeast.
Much of the USDA research effort in the South is focused on energy cane, napiergrass, and sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor).
With its expertise, extensive network of university and industry partners, and vast collections of plant material available for research, ARS is uniquely equipped to play a pivotal role in developing all three of these grasses into viable feedstocks for biofuels.
ARS researchers are also working closely with companies that will produce biofuels so they understand the companies' priorities and are using that insight in their efforts. It's an approach that is helping to accelerate progress toward lowering the potential costs of producing biofuels and making the biofuels price competitive with that of petroleum fuels.
The sugarcane connection
At the ARS Sugarcane Research Unit in Houma, La., and its field location in Canal Point, Fla., scientists are engaged in a program to supply growers and energy companies in the Gulf Coast and other southern states with new varieties of energy cane.
Energy canes are derived by crossing cultivated sugarcane with related wild grassy species that offer desirable traits for biofuel production.
A key attribute from wild grasses is their high amount of stalk fiber, which has cellulose and other complex carbohydrates that can be converted into ethanol, complementing the ethanol that would be produced from the sugar.
Another desirable trait from wild grass species is cold tolerance, important to both energy cane and traditional forms of sugarcane. Incorporating this trait would not only extend the growing and milling season, but also enable production in states where sugarcane is not traditionally grown, such as Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, and the Carolinas. (Commercial sugar production on the U.S. mainland is currently limited to Louisiana, southern Florida, and Texas.)
"We don't anticipate any energy cane being grown in the traditional sugarcane growing areas of Florida, Louisiana, Texas, or Hawaii," says Ed Richard, who, prior to retiring in December 2011, led a 12-member energy cane research team at Houma.
"We envision it being grown in the more northern zones of these states and in the other southern states, in rotations with pasture and other croplands that are not productive. In Hawaii, it may be grown on hilly land that is hard to irrigate," he says.
In Gulf Coast states like Louisiana and Florida, sugarcane is better suited to the region's soil types and subtropical climate.
"A long growing season, abundance of land, and the availability of water make the Southeast ideal for the production of tall-growing herbaceous perennials," like sugarcane, sweet sorghum, and other related species, says Richard. To date, the Houma group has released four energy cane varieties as part of a longstanding cooperative agreement with the Louisiana State University AgCenter and the American Sugar Cane League.
Napiergrass, also called "elephant grass," is a native of Africa and is used as cattle forage in much of the Tropics. Napiergrass offers advantages for the Southeast: It is drought tolerant and grows well on marginal lands and in riparian areas. It can also improve water quality in riparian areas by filtering out nutrients in runoff from row crop fields.
Both energy cane and napiergrass are subtropical grasses and are prime candidates for biomass production because they don't flower in most areas of the Southeast and continue to grow until the first frost.
In Tifton, Ga., Anderson and colleagues compared napiergrass to energy cane, switchgrass, and giant reed (Arundo donax). They grew the crops for 4 years and compared biomass yields and soil nutrient requirements.
Joseph Knoll, a postdoctoral researcher in Anderson's laboratory in the ARS Crop Genetics and Breeding Research Unit in Tifton, led the research effort. The team also included Timothy Strickland and Robert Hubbard, ARS scientists with the Southeast Regional Watershed Research Unit in Tifton, and Ravindra Malik of Albany State University, Albany, Ga.
Results were published online in BioEnergy Research in 2012.
They found that energy cane and napiergrass are viable biofuel alternatives for growers in southern portions of Georgia and the rest of the region's southern tier, Anderson says. "Energy cane and napiergrass are not as cold tolerant as switchgrass, but they do offer advantages in areas where they can be produced, such as continued vegetative growth until killing frost," Anderson says.
Anderson and his colleagues are evaluating napiergrass with an eye toward improving yields, useable fiber content, and disease resistance. They are also testing different soil amendments, such as chicken litter, variable rates of inorganic fertilizer, and winter cover crops, and comparing those with no use of inputs.
"In one test, we're looking at six different rates of fertilizer use as well as different irrigation levels. We've also looked at the times of planting and harvest, comparing yields in areas where poultry litter was used and where synthetic fertilizer was used," Anderson says. Preliminary findings show that yields are sufficient without irrigation and that there is little difference in yield when poultry litter is used instead of inorganic fertilizer.
Sweet sorghum
Sweet sorghum is a sturdy grass grown in the United States for livestock forage and for sugar for making syrup and molasses. But several attributes make it uniquely suited as a bioenergy crop in the Southeast.
It is drought tolerant; adapts to diverse growing conditions; has low nitrogen fertilizer requirements; produces abundant biomass; can be rotated with cotton and peanuts; and is compatible with equipment used to harvest, transport, and mill sugarcane.
It also contains soluble sugar that can be fermented directly into biofuel.
The fiber (or bagasse) that remains after the sugar juice is extracted can be burned to generate electrical power — a strategy that South American sugarcane-producing countries are expanding.
"Sweet sorghum has the potential to augment biofuel and electricity production from cultivated sugarcane and lengthen the season for bioenergy production," says plant geneticist Jeff Pedersen, a former ARS scientist who was based in Lincoln, Neb., and collaborated on sweet sorghum studies for the Southeastern region before he retired in 2011.
In Tifton, Anderson and other researchers are trying to identify desirable sweet sorghum genes and understand their functions so they can improve on commercial varieties. The researchers selected 117 sweet sorghum genotypes from the ARS sorghum germplasm collection in Griffin, Ga., where sorghum seeds from around the world are kept.
They tested the genotypes for 2 years, evaluating their ability to mature quickly and resist fall armyworm and anthracnose, a common fungal disease. The results are providing much-needed guidance to a growing biofuel industry, showing that sweet sorghum has tremendous potential as a biofuel crop for Southeast growers.
The work also boosts efforts among breeders by identifying sorghum varieties that will make good candidates for developing future high-seed-yielding hybrid varieties. For all of sweet sorghum's bioenergy promise, there's still much work to be done, says Pedersen.
In his estimation, sweet sorghum's long-term future as a bioenergy crop hinges on the ability of the seed industry to rapidly generate and deliver new elite hybrids — using dwarf seed-parent lines — that produce high yields of seed.
Besides enabling laboratory and field research, having sufficient seed stocks "is going to be essential to getting the bioenergy industry going," says Pedersen.
The sweet sorghum improvement research work is one of several examples of work being done by researchers in Tifton to produce market-ready biofuel feedstocks.
Environmental concerns are also a high priority being addressed by the Southeast Watershed Research Laboratory, in Tifton. "The lab is looking at potential effects on water quality, runoff, water-use efficiency, and carbon-nitrogen pools in soils and plant tissue as biomass feedstock species are incorporated into Southeast agricultural systems," Anderson says.

Ichigo, Renji and Ishida are aggressive fighters but they share the same character not because they are strong phsyically but because they have the strength of will. Now if you're going to put Inoue in that light, what about Chad? Chad is certainly not as strong as the others (even Ichigo doesn't think so) but he didn't let that stop him from trying to prove to the others that he is now did it? Chad has the same strength of will as the others have and hopefully Kubo will pull a miracle and somehow make it right for Chad.
No one is saying that this current situation is Inoue's fault. But the general consensus of most people is that they are disappointed in her. The people who put Inoue on a pedestral keep on saying that there was no other way to have gone either than the way that she did. You are limiting her options to just ONE and which is what she has taken.
I for one believe that there could have been another choice for Inoue. She, at least in comparison to the other's strength, is like Chad. Neither of them can be classified to be in the same league as their enemies at this point. Chad is beaten to a blood pulp and Inoue is held 'captive' (a term I'm not sure is fitting for her situation since she consented to join Aizen). But their key difference lies in the strength of their characters, the strength of their will. Chad has proven that while he isn't going to be in the next issue of Soul Society Super Star, he is made from the same strong character as the others are. Inoue on the other hand is a different story. By joining the enemy, in the guise of 'saving' her friends, she has consented to their plans.

To me, it's like trying to compare Zaraki's actions against Unohana's. Both are captains. Both are inarguably strong in both body and mind. Yet Zaraki tries to cut through anything that stands in his way, while Unohana doesn't raise a finger against anyone the entire SS arc. Are we going to say that Zaraki is strong, while Unohana was a wuss? Of course not. Everyone realizes that Unohana was only concerned about minimizing casualties. I don't see why anyone would expect Inoue to react like Chad or Ichigo in a situation anymore than they'd expect Unohana to react like Zaraki.
Of course, Inoue isn't nearly as old or experienced as Unohana. She has self-doubt and can't figure how she fits at times, but she still has room to grow. However, she will never be bold and reckless like Ichigo. Still, people are calling her a lost cause when the arc isn't even over.

I think people are calling her a lost cause because of her disability to at least think rationally, set her priorities and trust her own abilities. Her powers were immense and this has been verified by several characters but does this make her feel more confident? No! For what reason I can't even understand. Even Rangiku's pep talk does nothing to boost her confidence and the fact that after a few major events, her character did not manage to attain a significant level of maturity.
She can't decide what she wants to be : Attacker, Defender or Healer and the range of her power is so extensive that it encompasses all 3 and she can pick any one role for her to excel in. Did she do that? No! and she can't decide what she wants which I guess if the reason why Urahara thinks she's a waste. Great powers, huge potential but what's the use of it if you can't decide how you can be of help to the team? That will make you a liability and that's how she's picked up by Aizen : for her powers and naivety to be exploited at his whim and fancy.

That's what I dislike with her, she wants to be next to "kurosaki-kun" and fight with him, but her personality is just not made for fighting seriously, and her trying actually caused more troubles (against Yammy, or her abduction because she wanted to go back and help Ichigo).
At this point, she should have just acknowledged that and tried to be useful another way, or she should have truly changed and started to be agressive in battles.
Now, about her current situation...I don't fault her for joining Aizen, thinking she would help save her friends...But come on, after the whole SS arc and the bond they created, the girl should have known her friends better and have expected them to come save her. How could she be surprised?
The girl is an inconsistent mess imo, and now, she doesn't seem to know what she wants to do. After all, she only has 2 choices : either she actively helps her friends to escape HM, or she willingly go back to Aizen to proceed with her plan to destroy the Hōgyoku, which she seems to have forgotten.

Actually if you think of it from another way, she "dosen't know she can't fight". In her opinion, she hopes that even if its just abit, she could make a difference in the up coming war with her healing powers. Remember how she has saved several times her friends with her healing powers. Her overestimation isnt abnormal. Ichigo has overestimated himself several times, trying to go against grimmjaw and co., getting owned like mad. The thing is, unlike ichigo, she never got the chance to realize she was hopeless. She just got captured.

All I can say is a pure healer has a much different mindset than an attacker does.
If she had some training with Hachi (and given the personality of the other Vizards
maybe she would have become more agressive as a plus) things might be better.
She has had training with how to use her powers more effectively, but not MENTAL training with which to reinforce her spirit. That is where the difference is.

Hi. I'm new here! I hope I can meet a lot of new people and be friends since obviously we share the same interest or I wouldn't be here. But after what I'm about to say I don't think some would want to be my friend.
Okay back to the topic.
I never did feel sorry for Orihime. Okay maybe I did at the beginning but it was so long ago that none of that feeling is left what so ever. First of all she bought it upon herself. I mean I know alot of people are already saying this but I mean her powers can really help the team if she stop whining all the time.

And you have to realize that I and most of other posters here, think that one way or another Aizen woud have had what he wanted in the end but the thing is, and that's our only point, she didn't try. It's 100% certain that she would have ended in HM whether she fought back or willingly went to there. The result wouldn't have changed if she stood up and refused to heal GJ's arm. But she did have a right to choose the way, unfortunately she has chosen the easy and not-so-honorable way in those two incidents. Many of the readers, at least I, would have respected her if she had fought back, if she had stood up against their will. However, this is not the case, hence the complaints about her defeatist attitude.

If she was as strong as ichigo then her confidence would alright.
Although ichigo gets depressed everytime he gets pounded by someone stronger.
Since she cares about her friends and knows they will die if she stays, she has gone.
Orihime didn't just 'join', she saved her friends lives by 'joining'.
Since when does ichigo need to understand the reason for something in order to free his friends.
Maybe if the showed her one of her friends heads on a plate! and said need to see more heads of your friends.
Would it been alright if Orihime would have joined then, because she stood up against them.
I find it so strange that people who dislike Orihime give these reasons.
Saying that she is so strong as her heart and she just need to strengthen her heart.
Like that will happen like that. Orihime may need to hit rock bottom in order to climb herself back up again and be a supporting character we would all like.
She may strengthen her heart but who is going to teach her how to use her powers.
Orihime has been alone for some time, her parents left her, her brother dies.
And now the person she loves is drifting away from her, atleast that's what she feels.
And when she wants to fight with her friends, she is told we don't need you, we have battle trained healers.
So go home and be alone again.
Even when she was told all that she didn't sit down and wanted to get stronger.
And don't compare Orihime with Sado, atleast he can fight, has the will to fight.
But then he and ichigo has been fighting all along.
Orihim has just been in fight just recently and couldn't do anything but healing.

I think Aizen said that her powers are great, but how does he know that?
And maybe he will train Orihime in her power, would be cool.
Orihime could get training by that big vizard guy, but all his powers are on sealing not attack powers, so far what I have seen in the anime.
So not the right person to train.

Well he may have powers similar to her defensive side of her powers but he's still a good start. She could train with others like rukia even though their powers aren't the same. Maybe urhara could find out more about how her powers work. That guy is full of surprise.

I don't think aizen analyzed Orihime's powers, he didn't have the time to do it.
I just think that aizen has a clue but nothing more, besides how does aizen know how strong Orihime's power can be.
We know that she must be powerfull, just like Sado, otherwise I will be bored everytime ichigo has to save everone and everything.
And having sealing powers is not the same as having a offensive power.
What is Orihime going to do, seal the fights everytime.
Training with rukia is not the same because their powers are completly different.
Don't know if shinigami training methode is the right training for Orihime.
And if urhara did know something about Orihime's power then he would have said so.
But he doestn't know about her and sado's power, although training sado is easier, hell, he didn't know how to deal with ichigo hollow side.

Dance lovers are once again faced with a challenge this weekend with several shows to choose from and not enough time to see them all, including the premiere of a brand new troupe, a gathering of international and local artists and site-specific performances at a museum. And that is just in Taipei itself; there are more shows in nearby towns.
However, there are two events that should not be missed by modern-dance fans — the first performances by the Tussock Dance Theater (兩個身體) at the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park and the i.dance festival at the Red House Theater in Ximending (西門町).
Tussock was established in March by dancer Wu Chien-wei (吳建緯), a wonderful dancer who created memorable performances in Zhang Xiao-xiong's (張曉雄) The Floating Life (浮生) for the Taipei Crossover Dance Company (台北越界舞團) in 2008 and Mourad Merzouki's Yo Gee Ti (有機體) at the National Theater last year and again this year.
Wu has teamed up with Xing Liang (邢亮), the Beijing born dancer/choreographer who has developed a strong reputation with his work for the City Contemporary Dance Company in Hong Kong in recent years.
Their production, Two Bodies /邢亮 X 吳建緯, was inspired by the writings of Lu Xun (魯迅), one of China's greatest 20th century writers, and is billed as "a return to the essence of dance," with less technology and more physicality.
Tussock is the latest small dance troupe to seek sponsorship from members of the public as well as selling tickets for the show. It is offering two price levels — NT$600 for general admission, or NT$2,500 for a "sponsor" ticket, which will give you preferred seating as well as a voucher for a post-premiere reception. At a time of limited corporate sponsorship for the arts, unless it is for a major company such as Cloud Gate Dance Theater (雲門舞集), and reduced government support, it is an innovative way of drumming up support and forging closer ties between artists and the community.
WHAT: Two Bodies
WHEN: Tomorrow and Saturday at 7:30pm
WHERE: Warehouse 4 (四號倉庫), Songshan Cultural and Creative Park (松山文創園區), 133 Guangfu S Rd, Taipei City (台北市光復南路133號)
ADMISSION: NT$600 and NT$2,500; available at NTCH box offices, online at www.artsticket.com.tw and 7-Eleven ibon kiosks
WHAT: i.dance Taipei 2103
WHEN: Tonight and tomorrow at 7:35pm, Sunday at 5pm
WHERE: The Red House Theater (西門紅樓), 10 Chengdu Rd, Taipei City (台北市成都路10號)
ADMISSION: NT$700; available at NTCH box offices, online at www.artsticket.com.tw and 7-Eleven ibon kiosks. Tomorrow and Sunday's shows are sold out.
Over at the Red House Theater, choreographer and dance professor Ku Ming-shen (古名伸) has organized a series of performances as part of i.dance Taipei, which focuses on the technique of contact improvisation.
The second biennial i.dance Taipei has featured workshops, master classes and panel discussions this week, as well as the performances that began on Wednesday night, with invited artists coming from Spain and Italy, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan.
Tonight's show features Kim Eun-jeong, Han Chang-ho, Damien Bernard and four Taiwanese dancers, while tomorrow night it will be Nancy Stark Smith and Mike Vargas from the US, Ku & Dancers (古名伸舞蹈團) and DJ Stephen Ying. Sunday's show will be a closing gala, featuring all the guest artists who performed this week, including Wednesday and Thursday's shows. Each night there will be a special surprise performer.
Asked how she chose the Taiwanese dancers invited to perform — aside from her own troupe — she said she "sort of smelled them out," that they are the ones with most potential to improve in their performances.
However, Ku said she was amazed at the number of people flying in to take part in the week's activities, who have come from places as far off as Finland and the US as well as from Singapore and Malaysia.
"It's become really international. It's wonderful, people traveling to participate," she said.
"The nature of improve is about dialogue, communicating. It is a force to draw people together, a tool for understanding," she said.

BOSTON, Mass. – Roy Wedge and Stephen Serene led the way for MIT at the All-New England cross country meet over the weekend at Franklin Park. The Engineers, who are ranked No. 17 in Division III, placed 18th overall and fifth among Division III teams.
Wedge was the top performer for the Cardinal and Gray with a time of 25:50, good for 64th place. Serene was four seconds and five places behind Wedge, improving his personal-best time on the eight-kilometer Franklin Park course by 20 seconds. Daniel Harper finished 77th overall breaking the 26-minute barrier by one second. Paul Welle (26:15) was 107th and Gihan Amarasiriwardena (26:26) rounded out the scoring for Tech with a 137th-place showing.
Dartmouth took the team crown and Glarius Rop of American International College was the top individual finisher.
MIT will compete in the Connecticut College Invitational next Saturday, October 16 in the final tune-up before the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship on October 30.

Dear Diary
My First Entry: Jamaicans love big families and the Browneys are no exception. There are thirteen of us including Mammie and Pops. Now only my mother, Mammie, my brother Sydney, me and my sisters Ruby, Dolly and Pearl live in Mission House.
That's what our house is called and it's in the same grounds as the Wesleyan Church. It's quite grand, imposing and very big. At the front of the house there's a huge old cotton tree which always looks to me as if it is standing guard over us. But the tree does more than that, it keeps the house cool and dry protecting us from the heat and humidity in the summer. The house is red bricked and square, with green shutters at all the windows, which are kept open all the time, except when a hurricane is due. Everyone says the best thing about our house is the upstairs verandas at the front and back because from the front you can see the Caribbean Sea and from the back you can see the Blue Mountains.
Downstairs there is another drawing room, three more bedrooms, a dining room, the kitchen, a pantry and a storeroom. Outside a veranda made from cedar wood surrounds the entire ground floor of the house and out the back is a yard with a big cooking range under a lean to, a bath house, a water closet and, of course, our lovely garden.
Upstairs there are three very large bedrooms, one smaller one and a drawing room. I share one of the bedrooms with my sister, Ruby. Ruby is the most studious and brightest of the younger sisters and loves reading and writing. In secret she writes short stories which she reads to me when we are in bed. I feel very honoured because Ruby doesn't read her stories to anyone else in the family, just me. Quite often they're romances where the heroine is a simple country girl who falls in love with the son of a rich landowner and he loves her but his father forbids him to have anything to do with her because she's not good enough for him, so they don't see each other any more. But the son can't bear it and they run off together, get married and live happily every after. That's why I like Ruby's stories, they always have a happy ending.
My two other sisters, Dolly and Pearl, share another bedroom. Dolly and Pearl couldn't be more different. Pearl is quiet and thoughtful and very sweet, so is Dolly, but she is a younger version of my older sister, Vivie, lively and outspoken.
Sometimes I think Dolly is jealous of me. She says I'm Mammie's favourite. Maybe.
Then there's my older brother, Sydney. Sydney is married but he and his wife, Janetha, have been separated for years and he lives with us now.
I have another brother, Boysie, whom I adore because he is always laughing and is so much fun to be with. He's happily married to Minah and even though he has his own family he still finds time to visit us. We all go to Boysie with our problems, never Sydney. I like Minah, she's nice, but I must admit some of the family don't like her because she's Jewish. She's very pretty with long black straight hair and is quite dark skinned. They have four children and have a very nice house nearby in Duke Street and we're always in and out of each other's homes.
One of my older sisters, Birdie, is in London at the moment studying dancing at Madame Verschuka's School of Dance. This is her second trip to London and Vivie's been as well and I'm hoping to go soon too. Mammie has a sister, Martha, who lives in Paddington and when ever any of the family goes to England, we stay with Aunt Martha. Birdie says she's an old trout and doesn't like her.
I have another older sister, Cissie, who is married to Dyke and they too have four children. They have a coffee plantation in Montego Bay and have been married for about five years. Dyke is lovely. Mammie calls him a gentle giant because he towers over everyone including Sydney. We don't see much of them at all really, except at family gatherings at Christmas time, or when there's an occasion, like a wedding or a funeral, or a family crisis.
My Pops doesn't live with us now, so Sydney is head of the house and supports the family financially. At school I was always top of my class in arithmetic, and when I left Sydney told Mammie he wanted me to work for him in the shop and keep the books in order. I didn't want the job; what I wanted to do was go to England but Mammie asked me to take the job, so I did.
Sydney says Mission House is far too big to maintain and now there are not so many people living here, we should move to a smaller house. Mammie says he's right but it's difficult for her to make the move. Too many memories, she says, good ones and some bad, so for now we're staying put.
We have two servants, our maid Cassie who's nearly the same age as me and I like a lot, and our cook, Aggie Burns, who gives me the creeps. One day Sydney decided that Mammie needed help so off he went to find someone and came back with Aggie. But she's a crazy woman. She believes in Obeah and comes to work some mornings and tells me about great big peacocks that come to her front door and talk to her. Mammie says to ignore her and not upset her because she's the best cook we've ever had.

Bolivian mining town famed for Carnival tops Rio _ at least in size of iconic statue

ORURO, Bolivia – The Carnival celebrations in this Andean mining city already rival Brazil's Rio de Janeiro for color and culture, if not for size. Now Oruro has erected a huge statue of the Virgin Mary that's a little taller than Rio's famed Christ the Redeemer.
Oruro formally dedicated the new statue Friday as it kicked off its Carnival celebrations, which have been recognized as part of the patrimony of humanity by UNESCO.
The Virgin of Socavon is almost 150 feet (45 meters) high — a shade shorter than New York's Statue of Liberty and 23 feet (seven meters) higher than Rio's image of Christ. It's built of cement, iron and fiberglass to withstand the fierce winds of the high plain.
"If Rio has its Christ and its Carnival, Oruro has it's Carnival, and now it has the Virgin. We're complete," said Virginia Barrios, a neighborhood leader.
She said construction of the statue cost $1.2 million and took four years.
During Carnival each year, more than 30,000 people dance in procession through the streets, some in elaborate costumes, and brass bands blare. They honor the Virgin of Socavon, the patron saint of the city of roughly 250,000 people.
President Evo Morales, who was a musician in Oruro in his youth, participated in the inauguration of the statue and Pope Benedict XVI sent a message of blessing.

SPRINGFIELD — Illinois prison officials estimate nearly 30,000 newly freed inmates will be eligible for Medicaid coverage in 2014 under President Barack Obama's health care law.
In the past, many parolees didn't qualify for Medicaid benefits and were left uninsured after their release from prison. State officials say Medicaid will give them better access to care for physical and mental health issues and may help them succeed on the outside, according to a report by Lee Enterprises newspapers' Springfield bureau.
"The benefits will include long-term public health benefits and increase public safety by reducing crime and recidivism," said Illinois Department of Corrections spokesman Tom Shaer.
The Department of Corrections is making plans to help inmates connect with Medicaid before they're released, so they can make a smooth transition into the state and federal health care program for the poor, Shaer said.
Current parolees, like other Illinois residents, can start signing up for health benefits now with help from trained enrollment counselors at nonprofit organizations around the state.
"This is clearly a population that has serious health care needs," Mike Claffey, a spokesman for Gov. Pat Quinn, told The Associated Press. "It will benefit the state as a whole to enable them to gain access to comprehensive health coverage that puts them in a position to succeed and lead a productive life."
Illinois prison officials estimate 28,700 parolees are eligible for coverage in the state. One national estimate puts the U.S. number at more than 350,000.
Illinois is among about 26 states planning to expand Medicaid benefits to childless adults under the Affordable Care Act. Last year's U.S. Supreme Court decision upheld the law, but made Medicaid expansion optional for states.
Under the health law, the federal government will pay the entire cost for people newly eligible for Medicaid for the first three years, starting in 2014. The federal share falls to 90 percent by 2020.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jerseygirl01 from Very cute! I recently bought this dress for my graduation. It fits me like a glove and it is true to size. Its very classy and elegant and I look forward wearing it soon. It does run a little short so I wouldn't recommend to buy high heels with this dress. I love the sweet heart shape top. It isn't one of those dresses your afraid it is going to be see through either because of it being a thick material.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bebed0ll79 from Great Summer Dress This dress may be too dressy for daytime but I plan on using it as a day dress anyway. The fabric is very heavy but has some stretch to it but being that it is almost brocade like I find that it does not appear to be a casual type of dress, just my opinion. I am 5'5 125 lbs. with a 34DD bust and I got the size 4. The dress is short and I am not a tall person so it works for me. Overall I am happy with the dress and it is a beautiful eggshell type of white, I would not describe it as a bright white but not exactly off white either. Hope this helps!

OLPC conferences
From OLPC
Various OLPC groups have expressed interest in holding annual or biannual global events for the entire community. Some ideas for how to do this over the coming years follow.
Spring 2008
A mini-conference was held in spring of 2008, with 3 days of videotaped presentations on Sugar and other software and localization projects under development. Videos are available online; some transcripts are still needed.
August 2008
Right now we have two smaller gatherings planned for the end of August, each with dates still to be finalized:
- a physics-engine Game Jam, building on Brian Jordan and Alex Levenson's work this summer (and others!)
- a sugar-docs sprint, to update and polish end-user documentation
There is interest in having a conference where people could present interesting things they are working on or projects they are preparing (and also share open space for brainstorming solutions to open problems), similar to our mini-conference earlier this year.
A bid process was proposed at the grassroots jam for global gatherings in future years, for two events a year : one that focuses on international participation and OLPC presence, and another that is more for the most active community members and has a more regional flavor.
As smaller regional examples, events being planned this year in Austria and Croatia were mentioned (but neither has a web page yet, apparently...)
This is still very much work in progress. Currently it looks as though there will be a weekend (Friday to Sunday/Monday) meeting somewhere on the Croatian coast in mid-September. Please contact OLPC Croatia, OLPC Austria or OLPC Suisse in case you're interested in participating. More info will be made available as soon as possible. ChristophD 18:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words, guys.To answer the questions, pan size is 14" x 2". The pan is an American Metalcraft hardcoat anodized. The oven is a standard electric oven. I cook the pizza on my stone on the bottom rack of the oven. I heat the oven as hot as mine will go (550*) for an hour but drop the temp to 475* just before the pie goes in. I posted my recipe some time ago and it didn't seem to get any interest...maybe I should've posted pics with it then. It's here http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3115.0.html and the only changes from that post are that I am using corn oil now instead of vegetable oil and I'm using regular olive oil instead of extra virgin. I also pat the dough out in the pan without any kneading after the thaw from the fridge. I received a "Lou to Go" catalog from Malnati's the other day and noticed how thin the side walls of the crust were so when I patted out the crust I pinched up less than normal for the walls. It worked.The sauce is 6 in 1 Ground with some Red Gold whole tomatoes that I crushed by hand and drained myself for a little extra chunkiness. I leave those hand crushed pieced pretty large, about half dollar size. I use one 28 oz. can of 6 in 1's without draining and crush one 28 oz. whole tomato can dumping all the juice and draining them the best I can. I combine those two together and pour them into some sauteed garlic. I make a paste with two cloves of garlic using the side of a kitchen knife and about 1/2 t. kosher salt as an abrasive. I sautee that in some extra virgin OO, about 1/2 T. In goes the tomatoes, about 1/2 t. basil, 1/4 t pepper. Sometimes I'll add more salt but the salt that I use to smash and smear the garlic is usually enough. That's enough sauce for two 14" pizzas. I've found less is more when it comes to sauce, I don't want soup!LooOK, everything from here down is the edit to the original post.Here's the baker's formula for the dough and yes it does differ slightly from the referenced recipe above:100% All Purp Flour45% Water15% Corn Oil8% Olive Oil.75% ADYMy 14" dough ball weighs 746g (442g flour) with a thickness factor of .126I use King Arthur AP flourI grease the pan (bottom only...not the sides, it seems to cause the dough to slide) with Crisco shortening.A 14" gets exactly 1 lb. sliced mozzI use Johnsonville Sweet Italian sausage.I combine the yeast with 110* water in the mixer but for some reason I feel I need to cheat and give the yeast a tiny pinch of sugar to get it jump started. I know I probably don't need it. After the yeast is fully dissolved I start adding the flour to my Kitchen Aid mixer until it starts getting pretty stiff then I start adding the oil and the rest of the flour. Once it's all combined I turn the mixer up to a mid speed (4-5) and let it knead for 45-60 seconds. I pull the dough out of the mixer bowl to add some oil to wipe around in the bowl for the rise. Back in goes the dough, swirl it around to coat with the little bit of oil and cover with a tea towel. In the oven it goes with the light on and a pan of hot water on the rack underneath it. I punch it down after two hours and let it come back up again for another hour or two (until doubled again). Then it goes into a ziplock bag in to the fridge overnight. Pull it out about an hour and a half before I want to make the pie. I slide it out of the bag and straight to the greased pan patting it out on the bottom as evenly as possible and then go around pinching it up the sides. That's it. Cheese it. Sauce it. Top it. Good luck guys.Loo
What's cook time? 35-40 min?
can anyone turn this into measurements? I guess I'm not up to speed on how to break down the percntages.
That is the most look alike lou's pizza I have seen on this forum. I used to live in chicago. I ate Lou's at least 1x per week for 10-12 years. Now I am in Miami. Pizza here is crap. My authentic Lou's Pizza pan was just delivered. Tonight I am taking the 24hr old dough out of the cooler, and making my Lou pizza. I'll take some pics and post next week. What pan did you use? and where is it from? Nice looking za, once again.
Ok loo, I tried your formula(well I tweaked it a bit) I chickend out on the 15% corn oil + 8% olive oil! ouch! and I used about 4 ounces Harvest king flour and the rest is AP. Results ??......................outa sight man!! really came out nice ^ see loo's pic thats almost exactly the way that it came out of the oven. I just barely mixed it in the KA mixer and hand shaped the dough into a nice tight ball and let it retard in the fridge for 24 hours for use last night. Thanks for all your info, it really helped out! Happy new year! Joe

Spoiler for spoiler:
As Zenkichi himself states here, Anshin-san's interest is to make things more entertaining, so she won't go all out.
However, I won't be surprised at all if my thoughts turn true and that demonic entity is a manifestation of all the darkness of the Kurokami clan itself.

In my opinion, even then, It's just a double-edged sword.
Maybe she can eliminate that guy in a blink. And if she can, why should we be invested in him as a threat if Anshin' can suddenly decide to intervene on a whim?
After all, that's what her feelings for Zenkichi, whatever they are, caused in the Black Wedding.

@Kaisos Erranon Really? It seems like he's making a sideward glance towards Ajimu. And I can't really recall any instances where Zenkichi isn't the narrator(unless of course, he's not around). I'm sure there are examples though.

Overpowered god characters make great villains but terrible heroes.
Either way, it knows things Zenkichi wouldn't, so it can't be him.

I actually think it would've been fine, if only Nishio hadn't removed any and all ambiguity that Ajimu was omnipotent. I mean, didn't she say that she couldn't replicate Zenkichi's Maestro styled nature? Hence no one would get a 200% performance boost from being around her?
She was obviously bullshiting us then, as we know now.

In any case, Ajimu was stated to be omnipotent/omniscient, but what about her specifically gives her those abilities? Presumably if it's her status as a Not Equal, then because there are other Not Equals (i.e. Hanten) it should be clear that from a long time ago there's been the possibility of other characters being strong enough to challenge her.
Assume that devil guy is the counterpart to Hanten (blatantly hinted at and foreshadowed). Is it really so ridiculous then to consider he could give Ajimu some trouble? It's not even like Ajimu's saying that she herself would be in any trouble, just that 15 seconds is her limit to protect the other characters present.

What a "Not Equal" is remains completely undefined; the term has been used to describe both beings that are "parts" of Ajimu, (the candidates), beings that have Skills granted to them by Ajimu (Aka), and "beings that transcend humanity" (so far only Ajimu and Hanten).
Regardless of whether or not there are other Not Equals as powerful as Ajimu, one has to question why she simply can't, for example, use her Teleportation Skill to warp Iihiko into deep space and her Gravity Control Skill to crush him into a black hole. He might recover from that relatively quickly depending on how powerful he is, but his level of power should have nothing to do with how long Ajimu can stall him for; the Skill she has that we already know about should be more than enough to occupy him for longer than 15 seconds.
Only thing I can think of is if he's immune to all her Skills somehow, but that raises an interesting question:
If Ajimu's entire character drama prior to the ending of her arc was about "trying to find something impossible", and assuming she is omniscient as the narration claims she is, why hasn't she tried to defeat Iihiko before now, assuming she cannot, in fact, beat him?

Actually, you're thinking of it backwards:
Ajimu said Medaka could do it, and that she herself couldn't.
So, yea. Bullshit.
I would say that saying it's simply because she is a Not-Equal is rather premature. Maybe it's just her number of abilities. After all, she has more than billions, Hanten has just one. A very special one, but just one that we know of.
And if that was so, saying she is all-powerful is equally just as bullshit, since if she is not above everyone else, then by definition she is not all-powerful.
So, if we take the narrator's words at face value, the inclusion of this demon guy is, well, just plain illogical and if she can blink that guy out easily, just a double-edged sword.

Out of curiosity, do we know if the the narrator is a third person omniscient objective perspective type?
Or would it be closer to maybe somebody like Zen narrating? (Like, not Zen himself narrating. In other words, a human/character in the story itself)

There are times in the story when a third person omniscient perspective pops up. Like for example the time when Kumagawa was gonna die. Although the tone of voice doesn't really rule out the possibility of some actual character narrating, for now I would actually lean towards the "Ajimu is all-powerful and all-knowing" narrator being in the third person.
The way that Ajimu speaks in this quote, it clearly implies that there are certain tasks or certain periods of time where Ajimu believes/experiences that something is impossible for her. It's only sometime afterwards that somehow, seemingly effortlessly, Ajimu discovers that the previously impossible task is now simple and easy for her (no doubt probably because she unexpectedly generated a specific skill for it). The point is that Ajimu's "all-powerful" status doesn't really imply that she's completely undefeatable right now. Rather that, due to her Not Equals nature, it is inevitable that she will eventually overcome any fictional impossibility.
As for Ajimu's omniscience, the manga pretty much already specifically said that Ajimu doesn't use it. It would be like flipping through a manga straight to the answer of a mystery. Which, since Ajimu knows Medaka Box is a manga, of course she would be able to do. But she chooses not to because she wants to actually feel involved in her life and the story.
Ajimu is All-powerful in that there is nothing which is impossible for her (more specifically, nothing which will stay impossible for her). However, that does not rule out the possibility of Ajimu being momentarily challenged by forces beyond what she had ever even remotely encountered before.
Are we actually even supposed to be scared by Iihiko? I dunno. There isn't even any guarantee right now that he is actually hostile or a threat to Medaka's party. For one thing, after all, supposedly Hanten has at least successfully containing /restraining Iihiko after all for what must've been many years. What I think Iihiko's unstoppable portrayal is really supposed to represent is just to give us an awareness of Medaka Box's universe and cosmology--that yes, there are incredible beings out there who might be equal to the Not Equals; that they might even be their counterparts or opposites, and are the main concern of the Shiranui.

That means one of two things: either Ajimu is not as powerful as we were led to believe, or it's time to drop this manga.
Edit: Just read the spoilers. Nisio just retconned the entire point of Ajimu's character, and we're going full DBZ with the horribly extreme escalation of powerlevels. Yep, it's time to drop this manga.
It was a nice read for a while, too bad Nisio decided to be retarded. He broke my trust in him, and I don't feel like reading anything of his ever again.

BMW i8 and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 go topless at the 2017 LA Auto Show
Amid the onslaught of production SUVs launched at this year's LA Auto Show, there were a couple supercars that also made their debut. BMW and Chevrolet launched drop-top versions of their halo cars: an i8 Roadster and a Corvette ZR1 Convertible.
In a battle reminiscent of two celebrities wearing the same dress to an award show, both the i8 Roaster and Corvette ZR1 Convertible are being shown in copper-hued paint in display areas that are virtually next door. So, who wore it best?
2019 BMW i8 Roadster
The coupe version of the i8 entered the scene in 2014 as a beacon of the future. With a slick curvaceous design and out-of-this-world interior gauges, the i8 looks like something out of the movie "Minority Report" and drives like a supercharged supercar, except that it's a plug-in hybrid.
For 2019, BMW adds a convertible top that opens in less than 16 seconds, more range and more power. Total power output increases by 12 to 369 horsepower, and the new i8 can go up to 18 miles in all-electric range.
Top speed is 155 mph and zero-to-60-mph rings in at 4.4 seconds for the Roadster.
The i8 Roadster and an updated version of its coupe counterpart are expected to hit dealers in the spring of 2018. Pricing hasn't been announced, but the current generation i8 coupe starts at $143,400.
2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Convertible
Who would be crazy enough to make a convertible capable of driving faster than 200 mph? That would be Corvette.
This newest iteration of the ZR1 comes in both coupe and convertible formats, and is equipped with a 6.2-liter V-8 engine.
Pushing the limit of fast, the ZR1 hits the sweet spot between the Dodge Hellcat and Demon delivering 755 horsepower and 715 pound-feet of torque – no red key needed.
The ZR1 will come equipped with a 7-speed manual or an 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, marking the first time a ZR1 will have an automatic available.
Everything in this sports car is designed for speed, including the new front fascia, four new radiators, a carbon fiber "halo" hood and aero package with stanchion-mounted wings.
The ZR1 will hit dealers this spring with a base price of $119,995 for the coupe and $123,995 for the convertible.
