back to basics. help needed
During the past two weeks I've been starting a natural sourdough culture. The culture went through all the common staged I read about, including the first bubbles, smelling bad, then turning into a nice yeasty flavor and looking quite like a normal sourdough starter. After a week and a half it was doubling in volume quite easily so I thought, Yippie... Yesterday I started a test dough using the napolitana way (natural yeast and long room temperature fermentation). I used very little starter in the dough, around 4 table spoons in a 1kg flour dough. Kneeded by hand with 70% hydration (cold water), 3 the spoons of salt. Kneeded for about 10 min until I had some gluten development but did not go through the full window test. Left it overnight and saw that it had some activity. Left it the recommended 14 hours and it had risen some but also flattened out. Smell was quite sour at this point. I did a few balls and then rested them for 5 hours more. Temp overnight might have been 22-24degrees celcius and 24-26 during the day.
This evening I tried to open up a few to use in my home oven with the pizza stones. Disaster!!!!! Big time. The dough was quite mushy and not streachy at all. Impossible to handle. Holes right away. I took the damaged dough and made it into a ball again. Seemed quite normal at that point. After some time I tried streching it and it worked a bit better at this point. Managed to make a pie and dressed it quickly and threw it into the oven. Took it out when it had some color. Was very flat and almost hard. The other two pies was just as bad.
So what went wrong?
1. Overworked dough in the beginning?
2. Underworked dough in the beginning?
3. To much starter?
4. To little starter?
5. To long raise period?
6. To little raise period?
7. To hot during the raise period?
8. Bad sourdough starter? Not the right yeast culture that maybe doing bad things to the dough?
I have no idea what caused this disaster. Please help....
Re: back to basics. help needed
I'm sure someone else with chime in soon, but since I'm here... the one thing that strikes me is that you used very little starter. I read somewhere here that you need 20% starter in summer and 40% in winter. But shorter rising times.
So you'd take the four spoons of starter and feed it up a day in advance, adding enough flour and water by and by to make 20% of the total dough weight you're aiming for. The next day you add that bubbly mass to the dough, do a bulk rise in the fridge for 12 hours or so, form your balls and proof them some more in the fridge or not, depending on how soon you want to eat pizza. Something like that. But you do need to feed the sourdough culture up slowly.
I'm sure you'll get lots more advice... Just don't get discouraged, keep trying and I'm sure it'll work out sooner or later!

Re: back to basics. help needed
I had to augment my starter with a little IDY for at least a month before it was strong enough to use alone. Just add a good pinch and it makes all the difference- the flavor is not negatively affected at all.
Because you had some initial rising, then it petered out and the smell became sour, I'd say it just isn't strong enough yet. The bacteria took over and the yeast stopped. My perception of the natural yeast starters is that it's sort of a balancing act between the yeast, which acts first (big bubbles) and the bacteria, which take longer to ferment (small bubbles). If the yeasties aren't strong enough, they get overwhelmed by the bacteria. (of course, I could be all wrong, in which case I'm sure I'll be corrected!)
When I started mine, I had to keep it on the counter all the time and feed it every two days- it got stronger as it went. I could tell by the speed with which it doubled.

Re: back to basics. help needed
Each of us has a different starter with a different personality and that complicates generalizations a lot. But...my NORMAL expansion approach is a 4X expansion - i.e. 100 grams of starter and add 200 grams of water and 200 grams of flour at dinner time. Next morning it will be just about peaking at 8 am with temps at about 76. In the winter when temps are down around 68 I go to a 3X expansion and would take 125 of starter and 250 of water and 250 of flour. If it is much colder, my yeast REALLY SLOOOOWWWWWWWS down.
Then in the morning in warm weather I do another 4x expansion (adding 2000 grams of water and flour tothe 500 grams of starter in the amounts necessary to give me the BP I want (that is about 1240 grams flour and 760 of water. (In winter it would be 3X so I would add 1875 grams total water and flour to the 625 of preferment.) The adjustment of expansion gives me relatively constant proofing times.
Hope this is useful!
Re: back to basics. help needed
Thanks for both your feedback.
I thought my started was doing okay since it was doubling in volyme on each feeding. I had daily and sometimes even 2 per day feedings and it was always out in room temperature. But maybe your right in that its not strong enough yet. I'll give it some more time.
Regarding the amount of starter I used a small amount as advocated by Marco over at the pizzamaking site and a room temp raising period. What is weird is how totally destroyed the dough seemed to be after the full period.
Saturday we have another pizza party so today I did some dough with 65% hydration and using 2kg of Italian pizza flour tipo 00 (not caputo). I used 20gr of cake yeast. 2% salt. Consistency seemed fine when I was hand kneeding and it became smooth, soft but still sticky. Even though I worked it for quite some time I did not get enough gluten to do a full window pane. How long does this normally take by hand kneeding? Is it even necessary to go that far?
After finalizing the kneeding I put the dough straight into the refrigerator for some bulk cold fermentation. After 6 hours in the refrigerator it had already more then doubled in side. I took it out and did two or three folds. This deflated it and back in the refrigerator for the night. The idea is that I will ball it tomorrow and then use it in the afternoon.
Some of these new tricks I'm reading about on this and other forums don't seem to goto well with me. My normal technique was to double dough in room temp then ball it and into the ref for the next day. That always seemed to work. I'm hoping this new method with bulk refrigiration will work out for me. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I would really love to get into the sourdough starter thing and I guess I must be more careful and scientific about it until I learn all the details.
Re: back to basics. help needed
So I used quite a lot less starter then you. Probably my starter is not strong enough at this point. I'll try again soon. But since summer is here our house tend to get around 24-26degrees Celsius. Might be to hot right? Can cold retardation work with sourdough?
Re: back to basics. help needed
Retardation can definitely work but it depends a lot on your yeast. Mine simply shuts down rapidly below 65 or so. If I refrigerate it, it takes forever to wake it back up. So I don't do that much.
Your description feels weird. 70% hydration is pretty high for bread and will give you a lot of trouble if you don't handle it right. It will always in my experience run and flatten if that high. I would suggest doing a double expansion as I do along with lower BP until you get some experience.
One problem you may be encountering is that flour degrades over time. Try taking some flour and simply adding water. Let it sit for 14 hours. It will be weird because enzymes will break down the flour structure. It sounds like you did ONE expansion to final BP. That means all of your flour was wet a long time. The two stage expansion lets you build flavor in the first expansion and get the yeast really cooking and then the second expansion (which is usually less than 8 hours to baking) provides some strength to the bread.
Watch your starter. It will start somewhat stiff and relax over time in the fridge until after a week it is runny (or at least much less stiff).
Good Luck!

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen has been excused from the team indefinitely following the sudden death of his mother. Griffen missed practice on Thursday, one day after police arrived at the team's headquarters to deliver the news to Griffen, coach Leslie Frazier said. No details of her death were immediately available. The Associated Press left a message with Chanhassen police seeking comment. ''As you can imagine, it was tough news,'' Frazier said. ''There was nothing that could have prepared him for that news. ... I'm not sure what his status will be going forward. Our prayers as an organization, as teammates are with he and his family. This is a difficult time for him, as you can imagine. We'll be there to support him as best we can.'' Griffen's mother was in town visiting her son. Frazier and several Vikings players went to Griffen's house on Wednesday night to comfort him. ''It's hard. He loved his mom, like we all do,'' Frazier said. ''And to have no clue ...

It wasn't a terribly eventful week in the Big Ten. The most notable opponent anybody in the conference played in Week 1 was Boston College, who was felled by Northwestern in a 24-17 thriller. Other than that, Indiana lost to Ball State in a game that had precisely zero effect on the polls, and everybody else not named Purdue more or less rolled to victory.
[MORE: View full AP rankings here, and Coaches rankings here.]
Accordingly, there wasn't much movement in the polls this week, since wins over cupcakes don't often stand out as reasons for voters to bump teams up a notch or two, and well, there were a lot of cupcakes in Big Ten play in Week 1. Onward!
8/9. Wisconsin
For as much as I grouse about the "win go up lose go down" mentality of voters, I have to hand it to the AP for pushing Wisconsin not just past Oregon, but above fellow winners Nebraska and Oklahoma State after Week 1; both teams led the Badgers in the preseason poll. Unfortunately, no such push happened in the Coaches Poll, where Wisconsin only passed up Oregon. Objectively, this ranking is a sham, because Wisconsin would definitely beat Texas A&M (one spot above Wisconsin in both polls) on a neutral field, and they would give Boise State and Stanford mountains of hell. This is a bad ranking. Let's fix it already.
10/10. Nebraska
The Huskers didn't look quite on Wisconsin's level, or much better than any number of high-major programs that smacked their cupcake opponents around, but polling entropy being what it is they stay more or less put. That's fine, I guess, but it's terribly boring. We have small sample sizes! Let's abuse them!
15/15. Ohio State
Ohio State looked like a team that belonged a lot higher in the polls in its opening week performance against Akron, and the voters responded; OSU went up three spots in the AP and one in the Coaches. The upcoming battle with Miami doesn't exactly have the teeth it used to, but the likely OSU romp in that game ought to improve the Buckeyes' standing in voters' minds anyway. The real fun begins in October, though, when Luke Fickell's boys host the next team in the rankings in the conference opener.
17/16. Michigan State
That next team in the rankings is Michigan State, who didn't put together a very sharp performance in Week 1 as it beat Youngstown State 28-6. The Spartans' road to glory is already fraught with peril (though the road date with Notre Dame doesn't look quite as daunting as it did a week ago), so a quick start to this weekend's matchup with woeful Florida Atlantic should help convince voters that the MSU offense does actually match the hype.
23/20. Penn State
The Nittany Lions made a big splash with their easy dismantling of Indiana State in season-opening action. Splashes don't have much effect on the ocean, though, and wouldn't you know it -- the Tide's coming in to Happy Valley this week. Suffice it to say, PSU's either going way up or way down in the rankings after facing Alabama.
Others receiving votes:
Northwestern (40 AP votes, 30 Coaches votes), Iowa (29 AP votes, 44 Coaches votes), Michigan (17 AP votes, 15 Coaches votes).

I'm finally out here in Vegas!
If you're interested in making a friend, somebody cool and nice and selfless, I'm your dude. If you're looking for a husband or even an exclusive boyfriend I'm not there right now and just want to be up-front about it. I'm just trying to meet new people and make friends. Don't want to get in a relationship anytime soon but I prefer to not be alone when going to dinner...or more realistically to check out the craziness of Fremont St on a Friday night. I'm truly a fun, positive, educated person that loves to watch all sports and hang out at casinos sometimes. I pride myself on being intelligent and having a witty, dry sense of humor, which works for me since I'm typically the only one who gets it. BIG fan of "The Office" (American version of course) so that is my sense of humor. HUGE sports fan, especially football. I only watch college football for 10 straight hours on Saturdays during the fall. ;) I know a lot of people on this site are looking for a "good, normal guy", which I feel describes me! 5'11", 200 pounds, usually 'beardy', NOT a douche at all. I don't wear Affliction shirts, flat-billed hats, try to make my car sound as loud as possible, follow fads. Most people like this, but some would say I have no style because of it :) I'm very nice to everyone, loyal friend, people enjoy my company. I like trying to be intelligent and well-read, and love it when females are the same. I don't have a lot of dislikes, although if tanning or shopping are one of your top 2 hobbies/priorities you have listed, I probably need more substance than that. :) I go to the strip when friends fly in, but other than that I love exploring the city and going to dive bars/hole in the wall places and try not to get shot. I graduated from college and majored in biology and minored in history. I tried to pick nerdy subjects apparently. Working out is very fun and challenging to me, but I just look like I work out, not like I'm a bodybuilder on artificial hormones. Let's hang out!
Camping , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Video games , Volunteering , Watching sports
Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Football, Golf, Running, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Horses
Middle of the Road
My favorite food...anything but Asian! Italian is by far my favorite, and I've been known to eat pizza at least once a day:)
I enjoy working out, watching tv, playing around on the internet randomly, going out with friends and having a good time. I'm still trying to figure out what all there is to do in Vegas, because eventually you get tired of giving money to casinos.
My favorite reads are typically on the internet, I read headline stories and sports articles daily. I actually do have 2 library cards though, so I can be kind of nerdy I suppose...

No. 279
Yellowcake is an uncompromising vivid yellow sourced from the unmistakably bright kitchens of the early 60s. It has a slightly folkloric feel to it, so feels strangely comforting when combined with other strong tones. It cant fail to make you smile, especially when used in wide stripes with All White. White & Light Tones Undercoat.
Yellowcake 7 7
only for lovers of lime green Arrrrrrgh. Spent hours painting front door. Yes I tried a tester pot of the colour but it did not reveal that an expanse of yellowcake on a grey day is lime green not yellow. Dear reader, I repainted in yellow. 12 December 2014
Great Colour We love this colour and have up-cycled an old rocking chair for our son's nursery. Good coverage and fab vibrant colour! 20 August 2014
Perfect for Mid Century Modern House I recently bought a 1965 split level. We are in the midst of restoring this house, and undoing some dreadful 1980's renovations. Our kitchen is North facing, and was in much need of a lift. In addition to replacing the cupboards with Ikea Abstrackt in gloss white, we painted the walls Yellowcake, and I am totally freaking out how utterly perfect it is with the gloss white cupboards. Gives a huge dose of character and modern charm to the entire house which is otherwise mostly painted Cornforth White / Ammonite. 04 August 2014
Sunshine on a rainy day... We have used this colour on one accent wall in the living room of our 1960s Span house and are very pleased with the result. We used the Estate Emulsion as we wanted a more chalky finish. The paint is of high quality and our decorator found it very easy to use. We bought the paint from the Farrow and Ball shop in Richmond - staff there were very friendly and well informed. We are now thinking about painting another wall... 07 May 2014
Great vintage look. I used this product to paint a lovely old chair. After that I distressed the chair. I achieved just the right vintage look and now have a wacky pop of colour and vintage chic in my hall. Thank you Farrow and Ball. 09 March 2014
Beware this colour can look Lime green. Bought this colour to paint an old chair, unfortunately it looks Acid Lime Green under artificial light. Not the coulour I was going for at all. 03 March 2014
A little ray of sunshine This intense, acid-bright yellow is a perfect accent colour. I have two chairs in my predominantly grey bathroom and I have painted one in Yellowcake and the other in Downpipe. The yellow is an unexpected 'pop' against the moodiness of the greys. It's a colour that makes you smile. 16 October 2013

That's well and good if you happen to be sitting at the browser exhibiting some problem, but let's say you're debugging remotely for a user, and need a look at the contents of a node. You can have your user open up the Web Console and dump the contents of the node into the log, then copy and paste it into an email to you, using the

This spews out the contents of the node so you can take a look. Of course, this may be more useful with other objects than a DOM node, but you get the idea.

Comedian Ed Byrne from Henham springs into action to draw record-breaking St Clare Hospice raffle
Posted: April 17, 2014|
Comedian Ed Byrne dived into a yellow zorb to draw the winning ticket for a hospice's spring raffle - which has raised a record-breaking £32,251.
The Irish funnymen, who lives with his family in Henham, submerged himself in more than 32,000 tickets from St Clare Hospice's raffle.
The local celebrity pulled Vera Morley's name from the giant inflatable as St Clare staff, volunteers, patients and guests gathered in the Hospice courtyard in Hastingwood to watch.
Mrs Morley won the keys to a brand new Ford Studio KA. The second prize of £1,500 cash went to Vera Eley while the third prize of £1,000 worth of holiday vouchers was won by Penny Hampson.
The Henham resident said he was delighted to be invited to draw the Spring Raffle in support of his local Hospice.
Elizabeth Palfreman, St Clare director of fundraising and marketing, said: "It was great to have Ed here at the Hospice for the draw – he was such a good sport agreeing to get into the zorb to draw the winning ticket much to the delight of everyone who gathered to watch.
"We would like to say a huge congratulations to all three of our lucky winners and a big thank you to every single person who bought a ticket to help raise an incredible amount of money and make this year's Spring Raffle our most successful ever.

Working Class Hussys Play The Bitter End Tonight
Working Class Hussys will bring their unique style of Americana infused alternative rock to The Bitter End in New York City to celebrate the release of their new album Diesel Tunes. Written by prolific songwriter and lead singer Ian Patrick Gentles, the songs on Diesel Tunes cover a wide emotional and musical spectrum. The album displays the unique vision of a band who has taken their musical influences (alternative rock, classic 70's and southern rock) and created a sound all their own. The concert will take place tonight, July 26th at 10 pm. Admission is $10.00 at the door. The Bitter End is located at 147 Bleecker Street in New York City.
The tracks on Diesel Tunes were inspired by Ian Patrick Gentles' twelve years of staring at the open road ahead as a truck driver. With catchy and radio friendly tunes, such as To Tennessee and the pre-release favorite Goin' For A Ride, the songs on Diesel Tunesexplore life on the open road.
Diesel Tunes will be available on Amazon.com and iTunes on July 18, 2014.
To listen to music visit: http://workingclasshussys.com/music/
Working Class Hussys is an eight member ensemble whose current vision is to bring the sound of three part vocal harmonies together with Ian's strong lead vocal in a rock band setting. Two dueling lead guitars decorate the sound with recognizably rock emphasis. All that combined with a strong rhythm section give the band a unique and powerful "wall of sound." The band features Ian Patrick Gentles (lead singer, acoustic rhythm guitar), Anthony Mann (drums), Brian Casale (electric bass), Mike McClellan (lead guitar), Gregory Winka (lead guitar) and vocalists Patti Lynn, Amanda During and Ann Shi.

I'd need another one of those pesky Borg-Warner T5's to go on it! Although I'm pretty sure the S10 T5's were a different case than a Mustang or Camaro version.
They were, and the Astro/Safari main cases too. I may need to scrounge up one of the MPC 3GN GM F-body kits for a V8 T-5 bellhousing, but you might be able to modify the T-bird's BH to work behind the Iron Duke.

If the housing market can't recover until the jobs market recovers, and according to the media hailing Obama's great jobs recovery, one would expect a housing boom. How many cranes do you see in your hometown?
Case in point, an AP headline this week: "Americans Hold Onto Positive Economic Outlook." Well, happy days are here again. What was the premise for the headline? Consumer confidence held nearly steady in March at 70.2 down from a revised 71.6 in February. A reading of 90 indicates a healthy economy, a reading of 100 indicates a growth economy.
The AP school of journalism must celebrate when their children bring home a 'D' on their report cards. Why look little Johnny got another 'D' the best grade in a year, and we can celebrate it's not an 'F'!
The reason we hear ad nausea why consumer confidence is so important? Confident consumers spend, and consumer spending accounts for 70% of economic activity. If the AP had any reporters with the curiosity of a three year old, wouldn't they then question why rising gas, food, and energy prices aren't harmful to consumer spending?
Nope, not this reporter who wrote;"Gas prices are up but so is the stock market. Home prices are down but so is unemployment." I can hear the grill cooks at McDonald's saying; 'Hey Joe, sucks about these gas prices but my 401k is skyrocketing, it's all good!"
Quoting an economist from the AP writer's brilliant analysis; "The resilience suggests that jobs remain a more important concern for consumers than gas prices." This too is simply brilliant. If you don't have a job, you're not worried about gas prices. The government can just mail you your check.
The news wasn't good again in housing this week; Case Schiller reported home prices falling again in sixteen of nineteen cities reporting. The NAR reported homes going under contract fell in February from March, although up 9% over last February when the country was buried under a foot of snow compared to this year's balmy Groundhog Day, new home sales continue at depression levels, while the majority of construction starts were multi-family, again.
Back to AP's contention consumers are holding onto a positive economic outlook. Wait until they see what Obama is doing for electricity rates. New EPA regulations on CO2 will effectively eliminate any construction of new coal fired power plants and cause many existing plants to close. All thanks to Lisa Jackson who's picture hangs above the alter of every environmental extremist.

4 Metabolism Boosters You've Got to Try
When you cut way back on calories, your body automatically puts the brakes on your metabolism. Your body thinks it's starving, so it slows down the metabolic process to conserve the carbs and fats it has on board. The best approach, according to registered dietician Stephanie Clarke, a contributing editor at SELF and co-founder of C&J Nutrition: Eat breakfast ASAP when you wake up in the morning (within 90 minutes of waking) and eat enough (at least 1200 calories) throughout the day, preferably waiting no more than 4 hours between meals or healthy snacks.

Remember Me
The Kinkster, often referred to as the "Mark Twain of Texas," will also be hawking his
wares, in this case his most
recent (limited edition) books, Heroes of a Texas Childhood and What Would Kinky
Do?, both of
which will be available for purchase and signing at the shows. As Kinky has often said,
he'll "sign anything but bad legislation." This includes any of his dozens of top-selling
books or columns, or even his Kinky Friedman Cigars,
which, rumor has it, will also be available at the venues. Bring it, and he will sign it.
Kinky Friedman rose to stardom in the '70s, with the aforementioned Texas Jewboys as his
sick and twisted
sidekicks. An equal opportunity offender, Kinky, with his outrageous lyrics and crazed
stage persona, may have
offended some, but drew people like Don Imus, Robin Williams, Bob Dylan and John Belushi
into his spiritual fan
club. He toured with Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue and appeared on the inaugural season
of Saturday Night
Live. His infamous appearance on Austin City Limits, the only performance ever
filmed by ACL and
never broadcast because of content, has finally been released on DVD, to the delight of
fans everywhere.
Kinky's commentaries have appeared in such diverse media as The New York Times, Texas
Monthly and
Playboy, and since adding politics to his résumé, he has been a regular on cable
networks, even stopping by
occasionally to spar with Bill O'Reilly.
And now, for the first time in almost a generation, folks on the West Coast will get to
hear Kinky perform (live!) tunes like "Ride 'Em Jewboy," "Sold American" and "They Ain't
Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore." And many friends
will be there too: Mojo Nixon will join
Kinky in San Diego, and Van Dyke
Parks has already signed up for L.A. There's no telling who else will pop in.
Will there be a Wavy Gravy
sighting in San Francisco?

iHerb Customer Reviews
Best taste ever
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by jacked on Jul 11, 2012
First off, I have to talk about how delicious this is. The taste alone is allowing it to always be bought by me. I currently have peanut butter chocolate, ohhhh man. I'm addicted. I like the concept of Syntha-6 providing 6 different types of protein which are supposed to metabolize at different times. This is why I take this as a post-workout/pre-bed protein. I have noticed that it is better than most other proteins, even though I still like platinum hydro-whey better. But I just can't get over how yummy this flavor is. So I will continue to buy this protein. The calories aren't too high either, which is what I mainly look for.

Person Profile
Categories: WikiTree Help
Profile pages for people are the essential building blocks of WikiTree. There are also Free-Space Profiles for describing places, events, pets, and things that have been important to you or your ancestors. Click here for more on the difference between the two types of profiles.
Profiles of People
Every person on our growing worldwide family tree has a profile page. Here's an example.
At the top of the left column is the person's full formal name and dates. This is followed by their spouse, siblings, and children. Clicking any of these names will take you to that other person's profile.
You can add or change any information by clicking the Edit tab.
The heart of the page is the text/narrative section. This is for the Biography and Sources.
Beneath the narrative is a section for Memories about the person.
In the right column is space for Photos. There is also a Comments section for you to post messages for other people working on this person's family history.
Sensitive information on a profile is private by default if the person is living. The profile can be set as more or less private by the manager from the Privacy tab.
Modern profiles can only be edited by the family members on the profile's Trusted List. Open profiles can be edited by any Wiki Genealogist who has signed the Honor Code.

Advanced WikiTreers may be interested in the following.
All the person profiles on our worldwide wiki family tree look essentially the same, but the person may be Passive, Pending, or Active.
Our term for someone who has been invited to join WikiTree but has not yet become an Active user is Pending. This distinguishes them from a Passive person who may be a long-dead ancestor.
Technically, a profile without an e-mail address is Passive. When you invite someone to join by adding an e-mail address to their profile it is considered Pending. When the person accepts the invitation and creates their own password they "take possession" of the person profile and it becomes Active.

The worldwide glycerol stocks are increasing; to make the biodiesel industry sustainable economically, this chemical could be used as a secondary primary raw material. Electric energy or hydrogen and added-value-chemical cogeneration becomes more and more an important research topic for increasing economical and industrial interests towards electrochemical technologies. Studies on glycerol electrooxidation for fuel or electrolysis cell applications are scarce. The valorisation of glycerol is generally performed by organic chemistry reactions forming, for example, esters, glycerol carbonates, ethers, acetals or ketals. Glycerol oxidation is made up of complex pathway reactions that can produce a large number of useful intermediates or valuable fine chemicals with presently limited market impact due to expensive production processes. Many of these chemical oxidation routes lead to significant amounts of undesired by-products, and enzymatic processes are limited. Converse to classical heterogeneous processes, electrocatalytic oxidation processes can be tuned by controlling the nature, composition and structure of the electrocatalyts as well as the electrode potential. Such control may lead to very high selectivity and activity, avoiding or limiting product separation steps. The coupling of glycerol oxidation to produce chemicals with the oxygen reduction reaction in a fuel cell or water reduction reaction in an electrolysis cell on Pt-free catalysts results either in coproduction of electrical energy or hydrogen for energy storage.

Earth is complicated and is itself, a living and breathing entity that sustains itself through checks and balances that humanity is destroying, now at such an elevated pace that if something isn't accomplished on a global basis, now and not tomorrow, humanity is all but guaranteed to go the way of the dinosaurs by our own hand, not Mother Nature's; even with drastic reduction of airborne pollutants throughout the world, we may be able to put off the inevitable, but ensuring our survival as a species appears to be past the point of no-return! (In this author's opinion.)
The lungs of the planet that supply our oxygen and absorb carbon are found throughout the planet in old growth forests and rain-forests that are essential to our survival, the largest of which are in South America. The rainforest's have been acknowledged as the "lungs of the planet", and now the largest rainforest in the world is being ravaged by corporations, and the champion of saving those forests has admitted defeat and quit fighting to save what's left of the most important sources of oxygen, water, and is the largest carbon-sink on the Earth:
I give up, says Brazilian minister who fought to save the rainforest
By Daniel Howden, Deputy Foreign Editor
Thursday, 15 May 2008
Brazil has been accused of turning its back on its duty to protect the Amazon after the resignation of its award-winning Environment Minister fueled fresh fears over the fate of the forest. The departure of Marina Silva, who admitted she was losing the battle to get green voices heard amidst the rush for economic development, has been greeted with dismay by conservationists.
The Latin American giant's supposed progress on environmental protection has unraveled in the past year as revelations of record levels of deforestation, violent land disputes and runaway forest fires have followed in quick succession. The worldwide boom in agricultural commodities has created an unparalleled thirst for land and energy in Brazil, and the result has been a potentially catastrophic land grab into the world's largest remaining rainforest. The Amazon basin is home to one in 10 of the world's mammals and 15 per cent of its land-based plant species. It holds more than half of the world's fresh water and its vast forests act as the largest carbon sink on the planet, providing a vital check on the greenhouse effect.
Since President Lula won a second term Ms Silva found herself a lone voice in a government acutely aware that its own political future depended on the vast agribusiness interests she was trying to rein in. The final breakdown in her relationship with the President came after he gave the green light to massive road and dam-building projects in the Amazon basin, and a plan she drafted for the sustainable management of the region was taken from her and handed to a business-friendly fellow minister.

When you understand that carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is at the highest level in 655,000 years, the above article takes on the significance it should, and yes, this is a development that will speed-up global warming and add to a situation that in a gross understatement, is threatening all forms of life on planet earth:
World carbon dioxide levels highest for 650,000 years, says US report
David Adam, environment correspondent
The Guardian, Tuesday May 13 2008
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached a record high, according to the latest figures, renewing fears that climate change could begin to slide out of control.
Scientists at the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii say that CO2 levels in the atmosphere now stand at 387 parts per million (ppm), up almost 40% since the industrial revolution and the highest for at least the last 650,000 years.
The figures, published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on its website, also confirm that carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, is accumulating in the atmosphere faster than expected. The annual mean growth rate for 2007 was 2.14ppm – the fourth year in the last six to see an annual rise greater than 2ppm. From 1970 to 2000, the concentration rose by about 1.5ppm each year, but since 2000 the annual rise has leapt to an average 2.1ppm. MORE
Wildlife is already dying-off at an alarming pace, some through pollution and climate change, while others are dying because of habitat loss:
Wildlife numbers plummet globally: WWF
The world's wildlife populations have reduced by around a quarter since the 1970s, according to a major report published Friday by the WWF conservation organization.
Marine species have been particularly hard hit as the human population booms, while numbers of birds and, fish and animals have also gone down, said the WWF in a report.
The WWF's Living Planet Index, which tracks the fortunes of nearly 4,000 populations of 1,477 vertebrate species from 1970 to 2005, showed an overall decline of 27 percent. MUCH MORE
The evidence is conclusive that mankind is at least partially responsible for global warming, and rather than taking a position to curb emissions in our own country, President Bush has again assaulted the environment by relaxing clean-air rules that protect our national parks. Even worse, these new "rules" that are supposedly put in place to help guarantee clean air for America are also facilitating the construction of more coal-fired power plants that will significantly add more pollutants to an ecological nightmare that has been aided by corporate greed and politicians that seek to gain favor with their corporate sponsors rather than protecting their own families. How will these CEO's and greedy corporations explain to their own families that their actions border on genocide, not of one species in particular, but of the entire global community?
Clean-Air Rules Protecting Parks Set to Be Eased
By Juliet Eilperin
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, May 16, 2008
The Bush administration is on the verge of implementing new air quality rules that will make it easier to build power plants near national parks and wilderness areas, according to rank-and-file agency scientists and park managers who oppose the plan.
The initiative is the latest in a series of administration efforts going back to 2003 to weaken air quality protections at national parks, including failed moves to prohibit federal land managers from commenting on permits for new pollution sources more than 31 miles away from their areas and to protect air resources only for parks that are big and diverse enough to "represent complete ecosystems."
Yesterday, the National Parks Conservation Association, an advocacy group, issued a report estimating that the rule would ease the way for the construction of 28 new coal-fired power plants within 186 miles of 10 national parks. In each of the next 50 years, the report concludes, the new plants would emit a total of 122 million tons of carbon dioxide, 79,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 52,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, and 4,000 pounds of toxic mercury into the air over and around the Great Smoky Mountains, Zion and eight other national parks. MUCH MORE
The new regulations are absurd on their face and represent a not-so-clever approach to make it easier for corporate America to pollute our air without having to face any consequences for adding pollutants that are pressing the global ecosystem close to collapse; the change in how their pollutants will be measured is just another farce in a long history of the Bush administration backing big business rather than the people:
"For 30 years, regulators have measured pollution levels in the parks, over both three-hour and 24-hour increments, to capture the spikes in emissions that occur during periods of peak energy demand. The new rule would average the levels over a year so that spikes in pollution levels would not violate the law."
To place this new rule change in perspective, it amounts to someone traveling at 75 miles per hour in a 35 Mph zone and explaining to the officer ticketing him that for the previous three months, he had always driven under the speed limit, therefore, averaging his speed for the prior three months of driving negated his responsibility for a sudden burst of speed that was an obvious infraction of the law. Maybe this should be the new defense for those caught speeding on our roads and highways; if it's good enough for the corporations, then why isn't it fair for "the people" to entertain such a ridiculous defense when they are in obvious violation of the law?
Now, as we are beginning to understand why honeybee colonies are being wiped out, it is of tantamount importance to reduce pollution, not make it worse. The threat of honeybee eradication is a danger to agriculture that will impact our fragile food cycle even more – and it will be you and I who will bear the brunt of their demise, not the corporate thieves who rob, steal and plunder our environment with impunity:
Why flowers have lost their scent
Pollution is stifling the fragrance of plants and preventing bees from pollinating them – endangering one of the most essential cycles of nature, writes Environment Editor Geoffrey Lean Sunday, 20 April 2008
Pollution is dulling the scent of flowers and impeding some of the most basic processes of nature, disrupting insect life and imperiling food supplies, a new study suggests.
The potentially hugely significant research – funded by the blue-chip US National Science Foundation – has found that gases mainly formed from the emissions of car exhausts prevent flowers from attracting bees and other insects in order to pollinate them. And the scientists who have conducted the study fear that insects' ability to repel enemies and attract mates may also be impeded.
Already bees – which pollinate most of the world's crops – are in unprecedented decline in Britain and across much of the globe. At least a quarter of America's 2.5 million honey bee colonies have been mysteriously wiped out by colony collapse disorder (CCD), (Emphasis added) where hives are found suddenly deserted. MUCH MORE
The current food crisis the world is experiencing is another example where corporate greed has caused government policy to be skewed toward using corn and other agriculture products to manufacture biofuels, which gallon per gallon, actually cause more hazards to the ecology than good, and have caused huge increases in the cost of food. Americans are having a tough time keeping food on their tables, and as an effective alternative to fossil fuel products – have proven to be of little or no value as it pertains to the price of gas. In short, diverting crops to manufacture biofuels is triggering a global food crisis, and if it continues, is nothing short of mass-murder! The following articles bring this matter into perspective, and again, its corporate profits which drive governments to turn to biofuels, not the good they will provide to the people:

Wheat and corn are the food staples for the western world, and rice is the staple for the east; Wheat, which the United States can produce in enormous quantities when we choose to do so is becoming a "threatened" crop with the reemergence of "Stem Rust":
Stem Rust Never Sleeps
By NORMAN E. BORLAUG
Published: April 26, 2008
WITH food prices soaring throughout Asia, Africa and Latin America, and shortages threatening hunger and political chaos, the time could not be worse for an epidemic of stem rust in the world's wheat crops. Yet millions of wheat farmers, small and large, face this spreading and deadly crop infection.
Stem rust, the most feared of all wheat diseases, can turn a healthy crop of wheat into a tangled mass of stems that produce little or no grain. The fungus spores travel in the wind, causing the infection to spread quickly. It has caused major famines since the beginning of history. In North America, huge grain losses occurred in 1903 and 1905 and from 1950 to '54.
In the last decade, global wheat production has not kept pace with rising population, or the increasing per capita demand for wheat products in newly industrializing countries. At the same time, international support for wheat research has declined significantly. And as a consequence, in 2007-08, world wheat stocks (as a percentage of demand) dropped to their lowest level since 1947-48. And prices have steadily climbed to the highest level in 25 years. MUCH MORE
As you begin to understand the significance of "Stem Rust" and the danger it poses to our nation's health and well-being, you would think the U.S. was stockpiling wheat as "stem rust" works its way into our crops – but it isn't so, and in fact, the Bush administration has done quite the opposite! When this new "stem rust" was first discovered in Uganda in 1999, it was called "Ug99." The author of the above Op-Ed was one of the scientists who initially helped to develop wheat varieties that were resistant to the Stem Rust that wrecked havoc on America's wheat crops in the early 1900's and 1950's. He (NORMAN E. BORLAUG) states that when "UG99″ was first discovered, the Bush administration was quick to recognize the danger and the Secretary of Agriculture, Mike Johanns, ordered the federal agriculture research service to take the lead in helping to develop new strains of wheat that would be resistant to this new type of stem rust. When I read this, I thought that for once, the Bush administration would actually do something "Presidential" and had acknowledged a threat and instructed his staff to place all of the necessary efforts and monies that was necessary to mitigate its damage.
Just a paragraph later, I found out that if nothing else, President Bush is predictable, and for no apparent reason "the administration has begun reversing direction. The State Department is recommending ending American support for the international agricultural research centers that helped start the Green Revolution, including all money for wheat research. And significant financial cuts have been proposed for important research centers, including the Department of Agriculture's essential rust research laboratory in St. Paul." (Emphasis added.) Based on the above direction of the Bush administration, I can only surmise that President Bush believes that financing his War for profit is more important that the health and welfare of the American people and through his obvious negligence may be sentencing millions of people in the global community to starvation and death… On this issue, only the future will hold that answer, but be aware that his actions are not accidental – and are deliberate, and for whatever reasons they claim this action was necessary, it is "we the people" and the global community who will again suffer the consequences for our President's incompetence and disdain for anyone that isn't wealthy, disagrees with his policies, or is simply a common man or woman.
For in-depth information on the crumbling infrastructure in America, be sure to read "Pols fail to comprehend breadth of infrastructure crisis" which is posted on Scholars and Rogues. To understand the depth of the crisis in America, this is a must-read article! Our roads and bridges are in disrepair, our water is tainted and full of pharmaceuticals, many of our dams aren't safe, and the troubles we face a nation grow as each successive Presidency ignores the crisis of our aging infrastructure. Add that to the above issues previously discussed, and it becomes clear that for far too long, we have allowed the corporate giants of this world to guide our lives. If we wish to exist in any semblance of prosperity and democracy, it is far more than a President we must replace; ousting the Bush Regime will be the beginning, not the end, of the fight to come if we wish to alter the destructive course of humanity.

Homeowners and investors in East Toledo and Oregon can learn how they can increase their property values when county treasurer Wade Kapszukiewicz talks abut the county's new land bank program Thursday, January 20 at the Weber Block, Front and Main in East Toledo.
Overgrown lots, vacant or dilapidated houses and abandoned industrial or commercial property can all bring down home values restricting your ability to borrow money or sell your home.
Kapszukiewicz will talk about the new Lucas County Land Reutilization Corporation, which will have the power to acquire and sell foreclosed tax delinquent properties without going through the long court process leading to a sheriff's sale.
Pay raises of 2 percent for non-union employees of Lake Township were approved by the board of trustees during their final meeting of 2010.
Melanie Bowen, who chairs the board, said the increase is in line with raises given earlier to officers in the police department who are unionized.
The officers are in the second year of a three-year contract, she said.
The trustees also extended the contract for another year with Mark Hummer, the trustees' administrative assistant. He will be paid $1,000 a month – an increase from $800 monthly.
He is also the township's police chief.
Over the past several years the Toledo Public Schools have suffered many financial setbacks and still find the system struggling to keep up with the economy. There are many urban schools that are facing issues much like the TPS schools around the country. The once proud Toledo City Athletic League is now facing a challenge that may be its biggest ever.
Last year the TPS system eliminated middle school, freshman, and some high school sports with low participation. That was a big blow to the remaining high school sports. The biggest blow is the imploding of the TCL when seven schools left to form a new conference, the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. That now leaves six TPS schools, after Libbey closed this past season, for next season to be in the TCL and they include — Bowsher, Rogers, Scott, Start, Waite, and Woodward. I will admit all of this does not look good and listening to the present Commissioner of the TCL he doesn't see much hope for the future. He doesn't seem to want to fix the problems either.
Oregon may be revising part of the city's sign code to allow electronic changeable copy for businesses.
Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian said at a recent council meeting that he's received many requests from businesses seeking changes in the sign code dealing with changeable copy.
"The trend nowadays is that signs are LED enhanced, or lit with LED lights," said Seferian. "We want a starting point to get this into action, so we would actually look forward to seeing council put this into committee so it could be discussed thoroughly so people could be comfortable with the final product. But we do think it's something needed for our sign code because it seems to be a little antiquated without it."
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has found a third site in Toledo where someone illegally dumped asbestos.
On December 14, the OEPA announced it was seeking information to help nab those responsible for dumping 60 bags of regulated asbestos waste in two Toledo neighborhoods. Thirty-seven bags were dumped at a vacant house in LaGrange Street in North Toledo, and 23 bags were left in an alley near a garage on St. Louis Street in East Toledo. Combined, there was approximately 100 cubic feet of asbestos.
Last week, Dina Pierce, northwest district media coordinator for the Ohio EPA, said a third site was recently discovered on Champlain Street in Toledo.
