Ability Details
Staggering Blow is an on-hit effect.
- The triggering attack will apply other on-hit effects and can critically strike as normal.
- The bonus damage from Staggering Blow will apply life steal.
- Critical strikes will not interact with the bonus damage from Staggering Blow.
- The bonus damage does not affect structures.
- If Staggering Blow is dodged, parried or blocked, or if Nautilus is blinded, the root will still be applied but the bonus damage will not.
- Spell shields will block the immobilize, but will not block the additional damage.
Ability Details
Dredge Line is a skillshot-targeted projectile and dash.
- Applies spell effects as a single target ability.
- Spell vamp is fully applied.
- slow for 1.5 seconds. will apply a 40%
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block the damage and pull but will not prevent Nautilus from dashing partway to the target.
- This ability is considered to be a projectile for Unbreakable and Wind Wall.
Additional Information:
- Dredge Line will also take into account player-created terrain such as Cataclysm, Crystallize and Pillar of Ice.
- If Dredge Line lands the killing blow on a unit, Nautilus will instead pull himself all the way to their location.
- Dredge Line will preserve Nautilus's previous movement orders if the dash direction is roughly along the path he is scheduled to take. This is a convenience feature meant to aid Nautilus if he is using the ability for casual travel.
- The dash on Dredge Line has a significant cast time due to its low projectile speed. With sufficient timing, it is possible to override most crowd control effects on Nautilus if they are applied during this period, including all airborne abilities.
Ability Details
Titan's Wrath is an on-hit effect and shield that applies a damage over time to enemies around the target of Nautilus's basic attacks.
- Does not apply spell effects.
- The triggering attacks will apply other on-hit effects and can critically strike as normal.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block one application of the ability only. Further applications from the same instance of Titan's Wrath will not be blocked.
Additional Information:
- Titan's Wrath has no cast time and does not interrupt Nautilus's previous orders.
- Titan's Wrath will always deal half of its listed damage on every hit while it persists, with the second half of the damage being applied over the next second regardless of how fast Nautilus attacks.
- While Titan's Wrath is active, Nautilus's will utilize a different animation for his basic attacks. Autoattacks using these animations will always apply the damage over time, even if the shield expires before the damage has been applied.
- If the shield is about to break, Titan's Wrath can be artificially extended by applying another shield, such as Janna's Eye of the Storm, on top of it. This is still subject to the 10 second maximum duration, with further autoattacks not applying the debuff regardless of whether Nautilus is still shielded or not.
Ability Details
Riptide is a point-blank area of effect ability.
- Applies spell effects as an area of effect ability.
- Spell vamp is reduced to one-third effectiveness.
- slow for 1 second. will apply a 40%
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block one wave of the ability.
Additional Information:
- Riptide will radiate out from where Nautilus cast the ability, not his current location. Moving will not cause Riptide to cover any additional ground.
Ability Details
Depth Charge is a unit-targeted area of effect ability that sends a chasing projectile towards an enemy champion. Enemies hit by this projectile along the way are also affected by the ability.
- Applies spell effects as an area of effect ability.
- Spell vamp is reduced to one-third effectiveness.
- slow for 1 second. will apply a 40%
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block both passthrough instances and the explosion when being directly targeted.
Additional Information:
- Despite being a projectile, Depth Charge is not intercepted by Yasuo's Wind Wall or Braum's Unbreakable.
- The stun and knockup on the ability are applied concurrently and not sequentially; the total CC duration on a target is not actually 2 / 2.5 / 3 seconds but 1 / 1.5 / 2 seconds.
- Depth Charge's projectile does not path around terrain or units.
- Depth Charge's projectile will accelerate over time, generally ensuring it is impossible to outrun for all but the most extreme of movement speeds. However, a target moving a vast distance away such as with or will cause the projectile to vanish.

Phishing and Other Schemes Using the IRS Name
The IRS periodically alerts taxpayers to schemes that fraudulently use the IRS name, logo or Web site clone to to gain access to consumers' financial information in order to steal their identity and assets.
The scams may take place through e-mail, fax or phone. When they take place via e-mail, they are called "phishing" scams. The IRS website has information that can help you protect yourself from tax scams of all kinds. Search the site using the term: phishing.
The following is a list of known schemes:
- The IRS-impersonation telephone scheme, in which callers may demand money or say the taxpayer has a refund due and try to trick them into sharing private information, is continuing. These callers may know a lot about the taxpayer they call and usually alter the caller ID to make it look like the IRS is calling. They use fake names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers. If the taxpayer hasn't answered, they often leave an "urgent" callback request. However, there are ways to spot when a supposed IRS caller is a fake. [Added September 2014]
The IRS warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country. Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver's license. [Added October 2013]
- The IRS warns consumers about a new tax scam that uses a website that mimics the IRS e-Services online registration page. The actual IRS e-Services page offers web-based products for tax preparers, not the general public. The phony web page looks almost identical to the real one. The IRS gets many reports of fake websites like this. Criminals use these sites to lure people into providing personal and financial information that may be used to steal the victim's money or identity. The address of the official IRS website is www.irs.gov. Don't be misled by sites claiming to be the IRS but ending in .com, .net, .org or other designations instead of .gov. [Added October 2012]
- A combination email and text message phishing scam that appears to be from the IRS lures people to a malicious website. The false message informs recipients that a federal tax transaction recently initiated from their checking account was "rejected by the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System." The scammer's true email address is masked as a legitimate IRS account (firstname.lastname@example.com). Do not fall for this scam – the IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email or social media to request personal or financial information. [Added August 2012]
- A 2012 phishing scam involves a bogus email informing recipients that they will be penalized up to $10,000 for failing to a tax return on time. The scam references a false deadline of January 31, 2012 and Section 6038 and can include the subject line, "Penalty for not filing tax return on time." The email directs taxpayers to a phony web site that appears to be the official IRS site. Taxpayers who click on the email link are taken to a phony site and asked to provide personal or financial information that can be used by scammers and identity thieves. The alleged penalty and the deadline are both fictitious. The tax deadline for 2012 is April 17, 2012. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email or any social media tools to request personal or financial information. [Added February 2012]
- A malicious e-mail, which claims to come from the IRS Tax Forums, requests that recipients register for this event for tax professionals by using an attached registration form. This is not a legitimate request from the IRS. The email contains a malicious attachment and a malicious URL. Do not open the attachment or click on the links provided in the email. The IRS does not send registration forms by e-mail but makes them available instead on the Nationwide Tax Forums Website. If you receive this email please forward it to email@example.com and then delete the email. [Added July 2011]
- This phishing e-mail, which claims to come from the IRS, references the president and the Making Work Pay provision of the 2009 economic recovery law. It says that there is a refundable credit available to workers, consumers and retirees that can be paid into the recipient's bank account if the recipient registers their account information with the IRS. The e-mail contains links to register the account and to claim the tax refund. In reality, most taxpayers receive their Making Work Pay tax credit, which was designed for wage earners, in their paychecks as a result of decreased tax withholding, not as a lump sum distribution from a federal fund. Additionally, consumers and retirees who are not wage earners are not eligible for this tax credit. [Added October 2009]
- In this phishing scheme, recipients receive an e-mail claiming to come from the U.S. Department of the Treasury notifying them that they will receive millions of dollars in recovered funds or lottery winnings or cash consignment if they provide certain personal information, including phone numbers, via return e-mail. The e-mail may be just the first step in a multi-step scheme, in which the victim is later contacted by telephone or further e-mail and instructed to deposit taxes on the funds or winnings before they can receive any of it. Alternatively, they may be sent a phony check of the funds or winnings and told to deposit it but pay 10 percent in taxes or fees. Thinking that the check must have cleared the bank and is genuine, some people comply. However, the scammers, not the Treasury Department, will get the taxes or fees. [Added October 2009]
- In a new scam, both a form and cover letter, supposedly from the IRS, are faxed to people with instructions to fax the completed form back to the number contained in the form. The letter says that the IRS requires an update of the recipient's tax information and promises to deposit a nominal tax refund to the recipient's bank account in return. The form is a "substitute and recertification" Form 1040, titled "Certificate of Current Status of Beneficial Owner For United States Tax Recertification & Withholding." The form requests detailed personal and financial information, such as mother's maiden name and bank account and PIN numbers, that can be used to steal the identity and access the bank accounts of anyone who responds to this scam. In reality, there is no such form and the IRS does not ask taxpayers to provide the type of information specified on the form. [Added June 2008]
- Some people have received phone calls about the economic stimulus payments, in which the caller impersonates an IRS employee. The caller asks the taxpayer for their Social Security and bank account numbers, claiming that the IRS needs the information to complete the processing of the taxpayer's stimulus payment. In reality, the IRS uses the information contained on the taxpayer's tax return to process stimulus payments, rather than contacting taxpayers by phone or e-mail. [Added April 2008]
- An e-mail claiming to come from the IRS about the "2008 Economic Stimulus Refund" tell recipients to click on a link to fill out a form, apparently for direct deposit of the payment into their bank account. This appears to be an identity theft scheme to obtain recipients' personal and financial information so the scammers can clean out their victims' financial accounts. In reality, taxpayers do not have to fill out a separate form to get a stimulus payment or have it directly deposited; all they had to do was file a tax return and include direct deposit information on the return. [Added April 2008]
- A scheme in which a tax refund form is e-mailed, supposedly by the Taxpayer Advocate Service (a genuine and independent organization within the IRS which assists taxpayers with unresolved problems), is particularly blatant in the amount and type of information it requests. The top of the form tells the recipient that they are eligible for a tax refund for a specified amount. The form asks for name, address and phone number and a substantial amount of financial information, such as bank account number, credit card number and expiration date, ATM PIN number and more. It also asks for mother's maiden name (frequently used by many people as an account security password). At the bottom is a phony name and signature, claiming to be that of the Taxpayer Advocate. The implication is that the taxpayer must fill in and submit the form to receive a tax refund. In reality, taxpayers claim their tax refunds through the filing of an annual tax return, not a separate application form. [Added April 2008]
- A new variation of the refund scheme (see items below) is directed toward organizations that distribute funds to other organizations or individuals. In an attempt to seem legitimate, the scam e-mail claims to be sent by, and contains the name and supposed signature of, the Director of the IRS Exempt Organizations area of the IRS. The e-mail asks recipients to click on a link to access a form for a tax refund. In reality, taxpayers claim their tax refunds through the filing of an annual tax return, not a separate application form.
- In a variation, an e-mail scam claims to come from the IRS and the Taxpayer Advocate Service (a genuine and independent organization within the IRS whose employees assist taxpayers with unresolved tax problems). The e-mail says that the recipient is eligible for a tax refund and directs the recipient to click on a link that leads to a fake IRS Web site.
- A scam e-mail that appears to be a solicitation from the IRS and the U.S. government for charitable contributions to victims of the recent Southern California wildfires has been making the rounds. A link in the e-mail, when clicked, sends the e-mail recipients to a Web site that looks like the IRS Web site, but isn't. They are then directed to click on a link that opens a donation form that asks for personal and financial information. The scammers can use that information to gain access to the e-mail recipients' financial accounts.
- A recent e-mail scam tells taxpayers that the IRS has calculated their "fiscal activity" and that they are eligible to receive a tax refund of a certain amount. Taxpayers receive a page of, or are sent to, a Web site (titled "Get Your Tax Refund!") that copies the appearance of the genuine "Where's My Refund?" interactive page on the genuine IRS Web site. Like the real "Where's My Refund?" page, taxpayers are asked to enter their SSNs and filing status. However, the phony Web page asks taxpayers to enter their credit card account numbers instead of the exact amount of refund as shown on their tax return, as the real "Where's My Refund?" page does.
- In a new phishing scam, an e-mail purporting to come from the IRS advises taxpayers they can receive $80 by filling out an online customer satisfaction survey. In addition to standard customer satisfaction survey questions, the survey requests the name and phone number of the participant and also asks for credit card information.
- In another recent scam, consumers have received a "Tax Avoidance Investigation" e-mail claiming to come from the IRS' "Fraud Department" in which the recipient is asked to complete an "investigation form," for which there is a link contained in the e-mail, because of possible fraud that the recipient committed. It is believed that clicking on the link may activate a Trojan Horse.
- An e-mail scheme claiming to come from the IRS's Criminal Investigation division tells the recipient that they are under a criminal probe for submitting a false tax return to the California Franchise Board. The e-mail seeks to entice people to click on a link or open an attachment to learn more information about the complaint against them. The e-mail link and attachment contain a Trojan Horse that can take over the person's computer hard drive and allow someone to have remote access to the computer.
- Another scheme suggests that a customer has filed a complaint against a company, of which the e-mail recipient is a member, and that the IRS can act as an arbitrator. This appears to be aimed at business as well as individual taxpayers.
- One e-mail scam, fraught with grammatical errors and typos, looks like a page from the IRS Web site and claims to be from the "IRS Antifraud Comission" (sic), a fictitious group. The e-mail claims someone has enrolled the taxpayer's credit card in EFTPS and has tried to pay taxes with it. The e-mail also says there have been fraud attempts involving the taxpayer's bank account. The e-mail claims money was lost and "remaining founds" (sic) are blocked. Recipients are asked to click on a link that will help them recover their funds, but the subsequent site asks for personal information that the thieves could use to steal the taxpayer's identity.
- E-mails claiming to come from email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com and similar variations told the recipients that they were eligible to receive a tax refund for a given amount. It directed recipients to claim the refund by using a link contained in the e-mail which sent the recipient to a Web site. The site, a copy of the IRS Web site, displayed an interactive page similar to a genuine IRS one; however, it had been modified to ask for personal and financial information that the genuine IRS interactive page does not require.The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has found numerous separate Web sites in at least 20 different countries hosting variations on this scheme.
- A bogus IRS letter and Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding) asked non-residents to provide personal information such as account numbers, PINs, mother's maiden name and passport number. The legitimate IRS Form W-8BEN, which is used by financial institutions to establish appropriate tax withholding for foreign individuals, does not ask for any of this information.

Peptide synthesis is an expanding component of the biotechnology industry. With advances in the technology of linking amino acids together, the cost of synthetic peptides has dropped dramatically, while the ability to produce these complex molecules with sulfhydryl bonds and other ornate secondary modifications has continued to improve. The result is higher yields, greater purity, and a wider range of options for customers. Recent discussions with company representatives highlight the different ways that challenges are being met within the industry.
AnaSpec/Eurogentec was originally conceived as a peptide manufacturer and over the years has expanded its offerings. "While we started as a peptide company, we expanded into dyes, unusual amino acids, antibodies, and assay kits," explains Anita Hong, founder of AnaSpec and now GM of AnaSpec/Eurogentec.
One product line in particular demand is zebrafish-specific antibodies, according to Hong. Prolific and far removed from the animal-rights debate, zebrafish are particularly suited to tracer experiments using fluorescently labeled antibodies. AnaSpec's Z-Fish™ antibodies are raised from peptide antigens with 100% zebrafish sequence homology and are able to distinguish nonphosphorylated and phosphorylated peptides.
AnaSpec offers a number of other research tools that are of interest to the biotech community such as the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), expressed on the surface of myelinating oligodendrocytes and the external lamellae of the myelin sheath. Because the MOG protein constitutes a crucial autoantigen for multiple sclerosis, AnaSpec has developed MOG peptides, recombinant protein forms, antibodies, and kits to characterize this substance and clarify its role in neurological disorders.
The company also offers reagents for "click chemistry," which is defined as an approach to the synthesis of drug-like molecules through a reaction that is wide in scope and easy to perform with readily available reagents, while being insensitive to oxygen and water. "We supply reagents for people who want to do their own click chemistry," says Hong. One of the most widely used is TBTA, a stabilizing ligand required for many click chemistry reactions.
Yet another widely used research tool is fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), in which excited state energy is transferred from a donor to an acceptor molecule when the two are brought into close proximity, resulting in quenching of the signal. Using labeled peptides with appropriate cleavage sites, enzyme activities can be measured when the donor and acceptors are separated. Enzyme hydrolysis of the peptide results in spatial separation of the donor and acceptor, which leads to the recovery of the fluorescence of the donor. The company offers kits for measuring renin and various other proteases.
Peptide Synthesizers
A manufacturer of peptide synthesizing instruments for 25 years, Protein Technologies just introduced the Overture™ Robotic Peptide Library Synthesizer. "When we conceived the initial plan of the Overture, we looked at the current market needs, identified the drawbacks of the existing devices, addressed these concerns, and produced a new offering," explains CEO Mahendra Menakuru.
Overture is built with six blocks, allowing six different protocols to be performed simultaneously. "Typically, robotic synthesizers use the same amino acid delivery technique, drawing their materials from bottles that have to be washed after every amino acid delivery, an expensive and time-consuming process. The Overture synthesizer, on the other hand, is built with dispensers that do not have to be cleaned, saving time and money. Other features of the Overture include redesigned software for an onboard computer that will accept a peptide sequence introduced through a USB port."
Peptide Supply
Peptisyntha bases its technology on work carried out at the University of Ghent in the 80s. The company was founded in 1987; its operation was enlarged in 2001 to focus on peptide synthesis by solid-phase technology.
Peptisyntha is experienced in solution-phase and solid-phase synthesis coupled with hybrid synthesis and has increasingly used ion-exchange chromatography for purification. Unprotected amino acids have been used over the years to improve economics of costs. "Our approach to small peptide production (<12 amino acids) uses a proprietary process that avoids HPLC, so we can generate these peptides at a reduced cost."
The company has also moved into the antimicrobial peptide arena. As more and more bacterial strains are developing resistance to conventional antibiotics, cationic peptides that lyse the cell wall are showing increasing appeal.
"We are working with arginine-based peptides that we feel will be a new weapon in the battle against bacterial diseases. The strategy consists of manipulating side chain unprotected arginine residues in the form of their highly lipophilic tetraphenylborate salts. In this fashion, the peptide-coupling reaction can be run at high concentrations in solution with straightforward recovery procedures."
Polypeptide Group is a provider of custom and generic GMP-grade peptides, according to Rodney Lax, Ph.D., senior director of business development for North America. Worldwide, the privately held company has a staff of around 450 employees. "The fact that we are privately owned gives that additional degree of security that the company will be around for the long term." This is a critical consideration, given the fact that the approval process for peptide drugs takes an average of 10–12 years.
Dr. Lax emphasizes the willingness of his company to undertake difficult projects, requiring large-scale manufacture, complex modifications, and high purity. "We push analytical development from the outset. We prefer to solve problems early in development rather than have to redesign the manufacturing process later. Many peptide candidates nowadays are longer peptides, sometimes with 40 amino acids or more. Identification and separation of impurities represent challenges that cannot be addressed with the commonly used analytical systems."
According to Lax, while there are probably no major changes in chemistry for large-scale manufacturing on the horizon, he foresees advances in equipment and technology associated with their increasing scale. "There will always be a demand for rapid progress to the clinic. For this purpose, the best approach is the adoption of solid-phase chemistry, which allows rapid production of large quantities of material."
Lax believes that a universally applicable method for oral delivery of peptides would revolutionize peptide-based pharmaceuticals. This will require new encapsulation technologies to allow the peptides to reach the lower gut unscathed. The disadvantage of the oral route, or the use of other nonparenteral routes such as transdermal or inhalation strategies, is that the amount of peptide that finally reaches the circulation may be very low, requiring significantly larger doses of the peptide. "While this raises economic issues, many peptide drugs are active in microgram quantities and using alternative delivery systems remains a very attractive option."
Cranking Up Production
American Peptide Company produces research- and GMP-grade peptides at two separate production facilities in California. The firm provides a variety of services related to peptide production, including process development, scale-up of production, and regulatory support. At this point, the bulk of its activities center around the expanded production of GMP-grade peptides for clinical studies and continued supply in the research-grade market, says Gary Hu, vp of sales and marketing.
An expansion was completed in late 2009, allowing the company to pursue large-scale purification under cGMP conditions. This included the installation of large 12-inch purification columns and expanded lyophilization capability to handle multikilogram single batch demands. Another expansion is under way to increase large-scale synthesis for solution-phase and solid-phase chemistries.
PEGylation, a widely exploited approach to the delivery of protein-based therapeutics, has revolutionized the treatment of hepatitis C and other diseases due to the improved pharmacokinetics, decreased toxicity, and increased half-life in circulation.
The process involves the chemical attachment of polyethylene glycol to the peptide or protein. Great care must be taken in chosing the appropriate attachment site if the maximum therapeutic benefit is to be realized. "We have substantial experience in the large-scale production of PEGylated peptides and proteins and feel this is one of our major strengths."
In addition to custom synthesis contracts, the company has a catalog of around 1,500 widely used peptides. Custom production runs from milligrams to kilograms.
"Peptide synthesis occupies a particular position in the world of biologics production. While it will not replace the use of recombinant DNA manipulation for very large proteins, for smaller peptides it represents a rapid and economical alternative."

Linda Altman of Mount Pleasant is on the hunt for recipes for red rice, chicken or shrimp pilau, etc., that can be made in an electric rice cooker.
Now, if you just moved to town yesterday, white rice is Charleston's starch. Grits are a close second, maybe neck and neck. But anything else — potatoes, pasta, beans, what have you — pales in comparison.
Just look at the amount of shelf space that rice occupies at the grocery store, especially if that store is locally based.
Local palates are trained from an early age, a culinary tradition that sprung from the rice plantations that flourished in the Lowcountry in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, native Charlestonians of middle age and older can recall when a pot of rice on the stove was an everyday thing.
Rice remains an integral part of Lowcountry cuisine even as our food choices have expanded.
Sharon Cook of Charleston sent a red rice recipe (later in this column) our way. While that recipe is made in a Dutch oven, Sharon offers some advice about cooking rice in general.
"I have a rice cooker, but rarely use it. However, when I was using it, I could easily make red rice and other rice combination recipes successfully by sauteing the rice in another pot and then transferring it to the rice cooker when I reached the point of adding liquid and turning it to simmer. Forgoing the sauteing step and trying to do everything in the rice cooker generally yielded mushy results. Most rice pilaf and rice combination recipes require the sauteing step to ensure that rice grains remain separable and not a mushy mess, regardless of whether they are cooked in a rice cooker or a Dutch oven or a roaster, at least that has been my experience."
Here are two of Sharon's rice cooker recipes:
Shrimp LaFourche
Serves 2 to 4
1 cup rice, uncooked
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup each of chopped green pepper and celery
1 pound shiitake or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 (10-ounce) can beef broth
1 stick butter
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined (or 1 pound crawfish, peeled and deveined)
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
In saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter; add rice, onion, green pepper, celery, and mushroom. Saute just until vegetables are softened. Pour this mixture into rice cooker. Add granulated garlic, beef broth and shrimp; salt and pepper to taste. Turn rice cooker on and cover with lid. When bell rings, stir well, dinner is done and ready to be eaten.
Rice Cooker Jambalaya
Serves 2 to 4
1 (4-ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
1 (6-ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
2 links smoked sausage, diced
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
11/2 cups short-grained rice
4 teaspoons butter
1 medium onion and 1 medium bell pepper, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1 (10-ounce) can chicken broth
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Place all ingredients into rice cooker and set to cook. When bell rings, fluff mixture with a fork and serve! (If you have leftover baked or roasted chicken, you can also add it to this dish.)
This is red rice to make ahead and freeze, or make for a crowd. The recipe makes a large batch.
Sharon says she divides the mixture into two 9x13-inch baking dishes and places one in the freezer. "This keeps beautifully in freezer for up to six months."
She also says this makes a great side dish, but can also be used as a main dish, see serving options below.
Lastly, "Because of the bacon drippings and tomato juice, I do not find it necessary to add any additional salt, but you may want to add it to suit your taste."
Spicy Red Rice
Makes two 9x13-inch pans
2/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
3 cups brown rice (or long-grained white rice)
1 pound hot smoked sausage or kielbasa, cut into fourths lengthwise and then into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup each finely diced celery, onion and red bell pepper
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
4 cups V-8 or tomato juice
2 cups beef broth
Heat olive oil and bacon drippings in large Dutch oven or oval roasting pan on medium high heat on stove for 5 minutes. Add rice, sausage pieces, celery, onion and red bell pepper and stir-fry until onions begin to caramelize and sausage is brown at edges, approximately 8-10 minutes. Stir in cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic and steak seasoning.
Add black beans, tomatoes and green chilies, tomato juice, and beef broth. Bring to a full rolling boil. Turn heat down to low, cover with lid, and let simmer for 25 minutes. Fluff with serving fork — do not use a spoon to stir or rice will become mushy — and serve.
If not serving right away, place in 175-degree oven uncovered for up to 2 hours. Drizzle 1/4 cup olive oil on top if it seems to be getting dry.
A 1-pound bag of frozen gumbo vegetables or frozen cut okra can be added to top of casserole before placing in oven, if desired.
Stirring 1 to 2 tablespoons ketchup into individual servings will reduce the spicy heat factor for those who like a milder flavor.
Additional add-in options: cooked shrimp and/or roasted chicken.
Cake part two
A few weeks ago we fielded a request for Ireacindia Frazier of Moncks Corner for cupcakes. Part two of that request was for butter cakes.
We heard from Judy McCoy of Ladson, who writes, "This recipe was in a Pillsbury Flour Recipe book that I received as a shower gift before my wedding in 1964."
Kentucky Butter Cake
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 unbeaten eggs, one at a time, blending well after each egg.
1 cup buttermilk or sour milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla
Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
Cream the butter with the sugar. Blend in the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each egg.
Combine the buttermilk or sour milk and the vanilla. Add alternately with the dry ingredients to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Blend well after each addition. Use slow speed with electric mixer.
Grease the bottom of a 10-inch tube pan with butter and turn mixture into the pan.
Bake at 325 degrees for 60 to 65 minutes until cake springs back when touched in center. Run spatula along edge and stem of pan. Prick cake with fork. Pour butter sauce (recipe follows) over cake. Cool before removing from pan. Just before serving, sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
Butter Sauce
Combine in saucepan: 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water and 1/2 cup butter. Heat until butter is melted; do not boil. Add 1 tablespoon pure vanilla or rum flavor.
Carol Dotterer of Charleston writes, "Here's a yummy butter cake recipe I got from an MUSC employee when they had their bake sale for breast cancer treatment in the fall."
Butter Cake
1 (18-ounce) package yellow cake mix
8 tablespoons butter
3 eggs, divided use
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 tablespoons melted butter
1 (16-ounce) box of confectioners' sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine cake mix, butter and 1 egg. Mix well with electric mixer.
Put mixture in bottom of lightly greased 13x9-inch baking pan.
In large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining 2 eggs, vanilla and melted butter and beat together.
Add powdered sugar and mix well. Spread over cake batter and bake for 40-50 minutes. Don't overbake. Center should be a little gooey.
Who's got the recipe?

X-ray imaging current-driven magnetic domain-wall motion in nanowires
Contact: Peter Fischer,
The quest to increase both computer data-storage density and the speed at which one can read and write the information remains unconsummated. One novel concept is based on the use of a local electric current to push magnetic domain walls along a thin nanowire. A German, Korean, Berkeley Lab team has used the x-ray microscope XM-1 at the ALS to demonstrate that magnetic domain walls in curved permalloy nanowires can be moved at high speed by injecting nanosecond pulses of spin-polarized currents into the wires, but the motion is largely stochastic. This result will have an impact on the current development of magnetic storage devices in which data is moved electronically rather than mechanically as in computer disk drives. Read more...

Extracellular proteins promote zinc sulfide aggregation
Contact: John Moreau,
Researchers from the ALS, Berkeley Lab's National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM), and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory analyzed biofilm samples rich in zinc sulfide and dominated by sulfate-reducing bacteria, which were collected from lead–zinc mine waters. The researchers were curious about the relationship of the organic material and metals, particularly how organics affect mobility, and its potential for bioremediation. It is known that some organics promote aggregation. Amine-bearing molecules, for example, can organize sulfide nanoparticles into semiconductor nanowires. The research team used a series of imaging techniques and detectors to analyze aggregates of biogenic zinc sulfide nanocrystals in the biofilms. Their examination yielded excellent results and some surprises. They were able to prove that natural organic matter promotes dense aggregation of the zinc sulfide nanocrystals into much larger spheroids and that the organic matter is preserved in nanometer-scale pores in the spheroids. What was not expected was the presence of proteins in the spheroids, making them a key component in aggregation and an example of extracellular biomineralization. Read more...

Upgrades to Beamlines 8.2.1 and 8.2.2
Contact: Paul Adams,
The ALS is midway through a two-year upgrade to Beamlines 8.2.1 and 8.2.2, the two superbend macromolecular crystallography beamlines operated by the Berkeley Center for Structural Biology (BCSB). The improvements are designed to allow screening of, and data collection from, small crystals and will help resolve structures of large complexes.
Two major parts of the upgrade have been completed. In December 2006, an upgraded large-format CCD detector was installed on Beamline 8.2.1 to facilitate high-resolution data collection and the study of crystals with large unit cells. After extensive offline testing, a Rigaku ACTOR robot was installed in the endstation hutch at Beamline 8.2.2 during the recent shutdown. It is compatible with other automounters at the ALS and has a Java control system that has been integrated into the BCSB BOS beamline control software. An identical robot will be installed at Beamline 8.2.1 and is presently undergoing offline testing. Remote-viewing and data-collection software are also under development.
The Rigaku ACTOR robot was extensively tested offline to assure safety to users (large envelope of motion, key-activated dead man's switch), safety to equipment (detector, shutter, etc.), hardware interlocks (doors, dewar lid), software interlocks (beamstopp, detector cover), and exclusion zones.
Later this year, a new MD2 microdiffractometer from Accel will be installed on Beamline 8.2.1. The MD2 is designed for working with small crystals; it is capable of high-resolution crystal imaging, and the integrated beam collimation devices will define the beam of a desired size with minimized air scatter.
Next year will be devoted to upgrading the optics on Beamline 8.2.1, which will extend its capacity to the limits of the technology, with the goal of decreasing the spot size from 100 to 30 microns and increasing the beam brightness by a factor of 5. An internally cooled Si design was chosen for the front-end parabolic mirror as it gives the best thermal performance of the options available. The second mirror will be replaced with one of the same design as is currently used, but with a lower slope error. The monochromator upgrade will include the addition of multilayer crystals, which will give the option of higher flux at lower resolution (similar to the existing monochromator on 12.3.1), and direct liquid-nitrogen cooling of crystals, which will reduce thermal distortions by more than a factor of ten.
These beamlines have grown tremendously since their commissioning in 2003, becoming two of the most productive crystallography beamlines at national synchrotron light sources. This upgrade, which is funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, will ensure that they continue at their high level of operation.
Groundbreaking ceremonies for User Support Building and Guest House
Contact: Jeff Troutman,
This year's ALS Users' Meeting will feature two official Laboratory groundbreaking ceremonies in two days, unprecedented in the history of Berkeley Lab. All ALS and Laboratory staff are invited.
On Thursday, October 4, at 12:15 p.m., the groundbreaking ceremony for the ALS User Support Building will take place on the Renner Deck next to the building site west of the ALS. The 30,000-square-foot, three-story structure, to be funded by DOE's Office of Basic Energy Sciences, will offer modern experimental staging and assembly space, support laboratories, and offices.
ALS User Support Building.
The next day, the Laboratory will host the groundbreaking ceremony for the Berkeley Lab Guest House (12:00 noon on the site of the new structure, west of Building 2). Located within a short walk of the ALS and the cafeteria, the Guest House will provide 70 beds in single- and double-occupancy rooms and will include a main lobby, lounge areas, a fitness center, laundry, vending areas, and an outdoor patio. Funding for the Guest House will be provided through external financing, and expenses will be covered by revenues collected for room rentals, vending, and sales. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has provided a generous grant for furniture, fixtures, and equipment.

on February 8, 2013 - 2:47 AM
Nov. 21, 1920 – Jan. 26, 2013
Dr. Samuel L. Albert, a dentist and former director of the dental clinic at Buffalo Psychiatric Center, died Jan. 26 in his Town of Tonawanda home after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 92.
Born in Buffalo, he was a graduate of Hutchinson- Central High School and Canisius College. He was a chemist working on the Manhattan Project before attending the Georgetown University School of Dentistry. He also attended the Dewey School of Orthodontia.
A Navy veteran, he attained the rank of lieutenant commander.
Dr. Albert maintained a private practice in the Town of Tonawanda until about five years ago and headed the Psychiatric Center dental clinic for 36 years. He also taught at the University at Buffalo Dental School.
He was a member of the Eighth District Dental Guild, the Fonzi Club and the American Endodontic Society.
An avid boater and fisherman, he was a member of the Buffalo Yacht Club for more than 25 years. He also was a director at the Buffalo Trap & Field Club.
He was a member of the University Club, the Knights of Columbus and the Holy Name Society at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church.
Dr. Albert was a great advocate of education and was instrumental in introducing physics courses at Nardin Academy. He also served as mentor to many students.
He enjoyed dancing and took up painting in retirement.
Survivors include his wife of 63 years, the former Julia Mudra; two sons, Joseph and Dennis; three daughters, Debbi Neubeck, Michelle Reding and Julie Eberle; and a sister, Mildred Mack.
A memorial service will be held during the summer.

New Jersey Devils assistant coach Adam Oates appears to be the choice as next coach of the Washington Capitals.
TSN's Darren Dreger reported the Caps finally have made their decision on the man to replace Dale Hunter, who chose not to return to the team after Washington was eliminated in the second round of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Oates never has been a head coach at the professional level. Last season was his second season with the Devils, and he also worked as an assistant coach with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2009-10 season.
If Oates is hired, he will be the fifth straight coach hired by GM George McPhee that had no previous experience as an NHL head coach, a list that also includes Bruce Cassidy, Glen Hanlon, Bruce Boudreauand Hunter.
Oates' main job with New Jersey was running the team's power play, and that unit made great strides in 2011-12. In 2010-11, the Devils' power play was 28th in the League at 14.4 percent; last season it improved to 14th, succeeding at a 17.2-percent clip.
Offense never was an issue for Oates during his 19-season NHL career with seven teams -- including parts of six seasons with the Capitals. His 1,079 assists are sixth all-time in League history, and his 1,420 points are 16th.
The Capitals finished seventh in the Eastern Conference last season with 92 points, but upset the Boston Bruins in the first round and took the New York Rangers to a seventh game before losing in the second round.
They had their most success under the defensive-minded Hunter, but with top-flight offensive talents likeAlex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Green, it will be interesting to see if he pushes the tempo similar to when Boudreau was in charge.
McPhee reportedly narrowed his final list to former Chicago Blackhawks assistant coach Mike Haviland and Jon Cooper, coach of the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League.
McPhee wouldn't comment on his final list of candidates when asked about the coaching situation at the 2012 NHL Draft last week, but said he was very happy with the process.
"I can pick any of them and I think we'll be in good shape," he said. "They're really good candidates. The hard part is picking the best one or the best fit because they're all terrific. I've really enjoyed meeting these people and spending time with them. They're really good."
Ehh after re-reading that I noticed it might be a little bit premature. Still not 100% awake

There is no better word to describe the lame excuses, finger-pointing and irrelevant self-focused testimony provided in Lansing last Thursday by Detroit Board of Education members, their interim superintendent, and their small but regrettably vocal band of supporters, whose existence and claim to fame is owed fully to the confusion, ineptness, and unfocused world that this board has created and festered for more than four years now.
If you listen to these people, you'd believe that they have had absolutely no role in, no tools at their disposal to correct, and no responsibility whatsoever for the academic emergency facing our schoolchildren. That, my friends, is BS.
Granted, Detroit's test scores did not all of a sudden hit the crapper within this time frame solely. And the well documented societal, family, emotional, cultural, medical and economic frameworks our kids find themselves in makes the job all the more tough. Further, it is well known that turning a fully loaded freighter or ocean liner around, particularly in tight straights is not something one can do on a dime. Moreover, there is blame sufficient blame to be spread about.
But those stepping forward and elected to lead our schools, in office now for some 1,470 days have had ample time to develop plans, build a community constituency, and put those plans in place. To bluster forward now, to suddenly see the light, to get religion when threatened with losing what minor control legal purists may still be bestowing on them, is too little, too late. Robert Bobb, in less than a quarter of that time, has on the financial side of the house put controls in place, developed cost-savings plans while retaining essential and valuable services, and basically shown the kind of take-charge, no- nonsense leadership that a sizable majority of the citizens seem to embrace as the solution they have been looking for.
The Board did not have to wait this long to develop its plans. In fact, it could have stepped into office, day one, with the blueprints laid out by the hundred or more community members, as drafted by the Governor's Transition Team. Board members could have embraced the constructive criticism of peer district officials submitting reports under the Council of Great City Schools in several operational areas as well as curriculum and academics. It should have heeded nearly 90 audit findings in changing the way it and the district did business. In fact, in each of these cases, the Board not only did not follow these recommendations, they arched their figurative backs in a manner that suggested to all that they knew better and, make no mistake, they were in charge.
In charge they were, and they failed. Failed so much so that these staggering statistics compiled by DPS now face our children, our schools, and our community:
• More than 10 percent of the entire student body, and at the ninth grade as many as 25 percent of the students, are not promoted to the next grade.
• More than a third of the district's high school students are overage for their current grade.
• A mere 58 percent of the students graduate on time. 27 percent drop out.
• Forty-two percent of the students read at grade level.
• More than two-thirds of the schools do not make adequate yearly progress.
• Sixteen percent of the students are absent on an average day.
• Detroit Public Schools students score an average of 15.6 on the American College Testing (ACT) program, well below the national average of 21.1.
• MEAP reading, writing, math, science and social studies scores are each 22-29 percent below the state average.
This is in addition to the devastating national test scores, released in December, that show 69 percent of the district's 4th graders and 77 percent of the district's eighth graders earning a score of "below basic."
Standing before the state legislature and cheering because DPS fields such top-notch schools as Renaissance and Cass misses the point entirely. Surely there are success stories within DPS. Clearly some students are moving on to college well prepared and flush with scholarship and grant offers. Undoubtedly one can attend a school performance or assembly and witness outstanding singers and dancers, superb orators and fine poets.
Surely there are scholar athletes who should be our heroes. We are well aware of those. This newspaper arguably does a better job of chronicling these achievements year-round than any other media in town.
But the overall grade is an F. And it's time for this community and the state legislature to make the needed changes to raise that grade. Putting the tools necessary in the hands of Robert Bobb and his academic deputy, Dr. Barbara Byrd-Bennett, is the most obvious solution and the one that can be implemented most quickly.

SYNOPSIS The IMEE program supports fundamental, multidisciplinary research on the impact of hazards and extreme events upon civil infrastructure and society. The program is focused upon research on the mitigation of, preparedness for, response to, and recovery from multi-hazard disasters. Community and societal resilience and sustainability are important topics within the research portfolio of IMEE. The program is deeply multidisciplinary and attempts to integrate multiple issues from civil, mechanical, transportation, and system engineering, sociology, psychology, economics, geography, political science, urban planning, epidemiology, natural and physical science, and computer science. With regard to the four core emphasis areas of mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery, a variety of topics are supported. The following list provides examples of the kinds of topics and issues that may be supported, though the list is not exhaustive and other, innovative topics may be proposed. Mitigation research may focus upon issues such as the analysis of structural and non-structural mitigation effectiveness, local capacity building for risk reduction, and social and physical vulnerability analyses. Preparedness research may involve studies on warning and risk communication, evacuation, multi-hazard emergency planning, and the effectiveness of pre-disaster planning. Response research may examine such issues as infrastructure interdependencies and cascading disasters, innovation and improvisation in emergency management, and the use of new communication technology and social media in emergency management. Recovery research may examine linking disaster recovery to the mitigation of future disasters, resilience metrics and models, resilience of interdependent infrastructure processes and systems, and social factors related to economic recovery and resilience.The program does not support research on the normal, day-to-day operation of infrastructure systems. Such research should be submitted to the Civil Infrastructure Systems (CIS) program. It also does not support basic research on non-hazard or disaster related structural engineering and geotechnical engineering. Such research should be submitted to the Structural & Architectural Engineering (SAE) and Geotechnical Engineering and Materials (GEM) program. In addition, the program does not support hazard and disaster research that is mechanistic and embedded in traditional, engineering disciplinary frameworks. Such research should be submitted to the Engineering for Natural Hazards (ENH) program.

a handful of "app stores" like Valve's
Steam have delivered software to PCs in the past, these
stores generally lacked diversity, mostly just offering game
downloads. No PC app store really offered customers the
opportunity to buy instantly-downloadable apps of all kinds --
everything from games to productivity software. That's about to
change as Apple is set to introduce the world's first
full-featured personal
computer App Store on January 6.Steve Jobs, Apple's
CEO, fond of bragging about the company he founded, states, "The
App Store revolutionized mobile apps. We hope to do the same
for PC apps with the Mac App Store by making finding and buying PC
apps easy and fun. We can't wait to get started on January 6."The
Mac App Store will come to Mac users in the form of a Snow Leopard
(OS X 10.6) update.The initial Mac App Store will launch in
90 countries and include familiar categories like Education, Games,
Graphics & Design, Lifestyle, Productivity and Utilities.
As with the iPhone/iPad App Stores, Apple will keep a 30 percent cut,
handing developers 70 percent of app sales.Apple's press
release even included this nugget: "Apple...recently
introduced its magical iPad which is defining the future of mobile
media and computing devices."Apple often describes its

Many people consider a PC to be a Windows system, but this is not true and PC's include any type of computer that is used in a "personal" manner. This is in contrast to the batch processing or time-sharing models which allowed large expensive mainframe systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time, or large data processing systems which required a full-time staff to operate efficiently. It is also in contrast with the more recent trend of controlling software availability through an intervening third party such as the Apple App Store.[1][2]A personal computer may be a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet PC, or a handheld PC (also called a palmtop). The most common microprocessors in personal computers are x86-compatible CPUs.

Strong south winds have transported some deep moisture across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas.
Dewpoints have spiked into the lower 60s. Those dewpoints are more reminiscent of an early spring storm system. The moisture won't be in question for Tuesday. High dewpoints in the 60s will be sufficient fuel for the storms.
Temperatures will spike into the upper 60s and lower 70s. Cold air aloft will help to spark off the showers and storms ahead of the cold front, but the instability is going to be the biggest question, and that's why we have a slight risk opposed to a moderate risk for severe storms.
With the instability in question this event on Tuesday is rated a "2? out of "5?. Isolated storms could produce hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes. This is a high shear low CAPE type of event. Rotating storms can't be ruled out, and that's why isolated tornadoes are possible. Most of the storms will be exiting the area by 7 pm as the cold air arrives from the northwest.

Black Friday is finally here. But before you lose sleep, we have the must-hear advice that could change your plans.
The guru of Black Friday Matt Granite joined the Good Morning Show with the top deals of the day.
"I've been in almost three dozen stores since Black Friday started yesterday afternoon, and I've been working around the clock online with a team of bargain hunters, and the best deals are online," Granite said.
"When it comes to TVs and the better high quality models and reductions, 65 percent of them are online right now. That also goes for camera deals. Clothing is the one exception where deals are way better in store. Appliances are pretty even."
Granite said the biggest deals of any category this year are in the soft goods departments including clothing, sheets and towels. He said there are up to 80 percent off store-wide and online sales.

Gypsum may enhance soil-growing conditions
Gypsum may enhance soil-growing conditions
Years of repeated tillage and equipment traffic have left many farm soils compacted. In some cases, this compaction can cause water to pond and also lead to shallow root depths which limit crop yields. To counteract this situation, some Indiana corn and soybean farmers have turned to gypsum to address the problem.
Gypsum is one of the oldest fertilizers used in agriculture. It is a common mineral and is an excellent source of soluble calcium and sulfur. However, except for certain specialty crops, gypsum has not been widely used in modern cropping systems because it is expensive to mine.
Since the 1990 revisions to the U.S. Clean Air Act, synthetic gypsum has become more readily available because it is a by-product of the process that cleans the air in coal-fired power plants by removing sulfur dioxide (SO2). "By 2020, there is expected to be 40 million tons of synthetic gypsum produced each year," says Ron Chamberlain who markets gypsum to agricultural producers through the commercially branded name Gypsoil.
The resulting synthetic gypsum, sometimes called FGD (flue gas desulfurization) gypsum, can be at least as pure as the mined product. It is safe to use and is regularly tested by natural resource agencies in the state where it is produced. And, at the moment, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering regulations for use of coal combustion residuals, including gypsum. This synthetic gypsum also serves as the core material in drywall used to build houses, but more of the product is being produced than can be used in that market, especially considering the current housing market.
In what certainly can be tagged as an irony, the same Clean Air Act that has reduced sulfur admissions in the air has caused sulfur to become deficient in soils because it is no longer falling to the earth in rainwater. Synthetic gypsum from power plants can turn around and add the vital element back to the soil profile.
While the nutrients are an important part of gypsum, its main benefit is the fact it loosens soil particles to improve air and water movement throughout the soil profile. This action also improves the environment for soil organisms such as earthworms that help breakdown organic matter. In turn, that action releases vital nutrients into the soil, making nutrients more readily available to plants.
Down on the farm
Two Indiana farmers have been using the product for seven years on their corn and soybean operation. Jack Maloney who farms in Brownsburg and Jamestown, Ind., just west of Indianapolis, has seen major improvements to his soil. Water does not stand in his fields like it did before he began using gypsum.
"We can have 2 inches of rain and it won't pond," said Maloney who adds 1 ton of gypsum per acre to his fields every other year. "With gypsum, we have a higher permeability rate," said Maloney who uses no-till practices on his farm fields.
Commercial fertilizer use has gone down on the Maloney farm since gypsum started being applied seven years ago. "Our phosphorus and potassium costs are way down because our soil tests tell me not as much are required," Maloney commented.
Comparing results on his fields where gypsum has been applied versus conventional fields where no gypsum is applied, Maloney said he has calculated a $162-per-acre savings in input costs assuming typical fertilizer application rates for conventional fields at today's market prices. "We've increased yield and lowered costs dramatically," he said.
Both Maloney and a nearby neighbor, Mike Starkey, have been using similar practices on their farms. During that time, an independent study was taking place. The Eagle Creek Watershed Alliance, a local water quality study coalition, was looking at water quality for streams entering the Eagle Creek Reservoir which supplies water to nearby Indianapolis. They found the water draining from the School Branch, the same branch that collects water from some 5,500 acres of farm fields, farmed by Maloney and Starkey, was lower in agricultural nutrients and chemicals. Researchers are conducting further investigations, but they believe that the greater soil permeability from the repeated gypsum applications has caused better plant use of nutrients and reduced runoff.
While these results are exciting, gypsum is not a product that creates instant success. "Expectations need to be appropriate," says Chamberlain. "Don't expect a yield response or improved soil tests in the first year. It may take up to three years to see softer soils in a no-till environment," he notes. "In the second year, you'll begin to see a little more earthworm activity."
Application rates and costs
Typical application rates are 1 to 2 tons per acre, every one to two years. It is applied like lime but does not replace it since lime adjusts soil pH. A typical gypsum application costs $30 to $50 per acre. The mineral itself is relatively low-cost; it is the trucking cost that drives up the price.
While much of the initial work has been done on corn and soybean fields, gypsum can benefit alfalfa, too. Field trials are currently underway to document improved soil conditions with that crop.
Gypsum collects phosphorus
Since the 1920s, large-scale poultry operations have dotted Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Eastern Shore. Today, over 750,000 tons of poultry litter and manure are produced each year in the area. Not only have nutrient levels built up in the soil during this time, but the nutrients are also finding their way into our waterways and the Bay.
Scientists from USDA's Agricultural Research Service and the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore have developed a way to trap "legacy phosphorus" from the region's poultry farms that leaches from soil to drainage ditches.
Researchers dug a trench along a drainage ditch at the site of a former chicken farm and lined the trench with synthetic gypsum. When the groundwater passed out of the field and through the gypsum-filled trench, the soluble calcium in the gypsum "captured" the soluble phosphorus in the water by combining with it to form calcium phosphate. Calcium phosphate is similar to rock phosphate which is the source of phosphates used to make fertilizer. During the project, researchers found that the gypsum trench could treat all the water draining from a field and reduce soluble phosphorus in subsurface drainage by about 50 percent.
"These gypsum 'curtains' are good for 10 years," said Ray Bryant who worked on the project. "Then they can be dug up and the trapped phosphorus can be used again for fertilizer."

They were hanging out at Comic-Con over the summer, they're working on The Expendables 3 and, just this week, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger were pictured having a back-slapping good time at lunch in New York City as they prepared to promote their latest flick, Escape Plan.
But the two action stars weren't always so chummy.
In 1982, Sylvester Stallone's Rocky III was in movie theaters – and so was his rival action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger's Conan the Barbarian. By 1984, a muscle-bound Schwarzenegger was the Terminator, while an equally brawny Stallone was basking in the box-office success of his Rambo franchise – and neither star wanted to concede the crown of world's manliest man.
"We really disliked each other intensely for 20 years," Stallone, 67, told PEOPLE of his costar, 66, on Tuesday at New York Special screening of Escape Plan, in which the duo devises a plan to break out of the most protected prison ever built.
Even so, Stallone admits, that wasn't always a bad thing. "Eventually you start to appreciate something … maybe the reason we were so competitive is what made us get where we are," he says. "Seriously, I think it helps. It's what gets you out of bed in the morning and go, 'Oh, I can't wait to get at it again.' "
Their Escape Plan director Mikael Hafström tells PEOPLE, "Now that they are a little bit older, I think they really enjoy the fact they have mutual experiences. They can have fun together, they can relax."
"They don't have to show anything to anyone anymore. You can tell they like being on set. They like telling old war stories, they like smoking their cigars. They earned it."
While friendly, their relationship is not always so civilized, with each pulling capers worthy of famous prankster George Clooney.
On the Escape Plan set, "There was so much testosterone, it was slippery," recalls Stallone. "We were constantly just trying to out-man each other. On the way out of a set, I'd call the police and have his car searched. And he had my car searched."
It wasn't just his car. Stallone once reported some activity around Schwarzenegger on a film set, saying, "'There's some suspicious stuff going on with that black van' … They literally strip-searched him! Then he got back at me."
Their favorite thing to do, says Stallone, is "probably the shopping on the weekends. He's an unbelievable shopper. He's a real badass but he likes to play chess. He's addicted to chess. Which I find... Are you joking? Water ski. Do something. Chess!"
Adds Stallone, "I don't know why we get along so well. It goes to show you: A good enemy is hard to find."
