It was chilly enough Wednesday outside Coca-Cola Field that the Jimmy Griffin statue seemed to need a parka. But inside the ballpark, crews dodged the cascading snowflakes to paint, clean and get ready for today's first game of the 2013 Buffalo Bisons season.
Yes, the weather may say winter, but the calendar says spring, and the schedule says it's Opening Day.
It's the 26th opener at the downtown ballpark, and 500 concessions workers, ushers and other employees will greet the thousands of fans expected to walk through the turnstiles for this afternoon's 2:05 p.m. game against the Rochester Red Wings.
"I start the countdown as soon as I see the schedule," said Tom "Conehead" Girot, the beer vendor who has worked at Bisons games since 1979. "It's kind of the signal of new life."
The Bisons might be our only sign of sports life for a while. The Bills dumped their head coach and starting quarterback after missing the playoffs for the 13th year in a row, and the Sabres held a fire sale after struggling this season.
"Usually it means the start of good weather, but that's not the case this year," Zack Travis, 27, a college student who lives in an apartment near the ballpark, said after buying a jersey and a ticket for today's game. "This year, it gets you forgetting about the Sabres."
And the Bisons' new affiliation with the Toronto Blue Jays promises to boost the team's international popularity.
Representatives with the Bisons and nearby businesses expect a lot of baseball fans from Southern Ontario to make the trip to downtown Buffalo to take in a game, so this may explain why poutine is popping up on so many menus.
"I added that, I think, the day I found out we were getting the Canadians," said Marie Stachera, owner of the Irish Times restaurant near the ballpark, referring to the Quebec provincial fast food dish of French fries topped with cheese curds and gravy.
The Bisons distributed 10,905 tickets to Opening Day last year, and they're on track to reach 12,000 or 13,000 for today's game, said Mike Buczkowski, the Bisons' vice president and general manager.
Opening Day is a mini-reunion, a day for fans and stadium staff to catch up with old acquaintances they haven't seen since last fall.
"I always tell people I've got the greatest job in the world, because I serve my friends every night," Girot said.
"When the fans show up, the place gets to come alive," said Buczkowski, who started working for the Bisons in 1987, their last season in War Memorial Stadium. "I'm sure you've heard this before – baseball people, I think for us it's like Christmas morning."
Wednesday, crews were striping the field, grooming the cross-hatched pattern into the grass and painting the foul poles yellow, while Kevin Curthoys was carefully painting the Coca-Cola logo on the tops of the home and visitor dugouts.
It wouldn't be a Bisons game without a hot dog, and the team has ordered about 10,000 of them for today's game, Buczkowski said.
Fans should see a few new features at the ballpark, including more flat-screen TVs and an expanded selection of craft beers at Pettibones Grille, which has added "The Pub at the Park," and a new Hall of Fame Room that celebrates Buffalo's baseball heritage. "We've got 128 years of history," said Brad Bisbing, a team spokesman.
Today's weather should be better than Wednesday's, when the high temperature was 36 degrees, but fans at the stadium should prepare for highs at the game in the low 40s, according to the National Weather Service.
Charlie Greene, a retired Lutheran minister who is president of the Bisons Booster Club, said he'll wear long underwear and plenty of layers for today's game, but he wouldn't miss Opening Day for anything.
"It's just invigorating," said Greene, who winters in Florida, where he warned Toronto's minor-league players to bring plenty of cold-weather clothing with them to Buffalo.
Attendance typically dips sharply after Opening Day and doesn't reach its peak until the temperature consistently reaches the 60s and 70s and school lets out for the summer. That's when the Bisons make their big promotional push, with special event games and giveaways.
Jerry and Betty Krencik were at the Swan Street box office Wednesday to buy tickets for the Bisons' Star Wars Night, on June 22, as a treat for their 5-year-old grandson, Ryan.
The Bisons have seen attendance fall from the high-water mark of the years after the downtown ballpark opened in 1988, when the team would surpass 1 million fans for the season. Last year's attendance was 515,898, an average of 7,370 per game.
"It's not as full as it used to be," Jerry Krencik said, but the North Boston resident was optimistic about the new season.
"Now that you've got a new affiliation, I think it's going to be interesting to see them," he said. "They're going to stock them with some good players and give us something to work with."
Krencik isn't the only one excited about the Bisons' new partnership with the Blue Jays, who take the place of the New York Mets.
Buczkowski said the team has a good mix of up-and-coming young players and minor-league veterans – the Bisons' roster includes St. Francis High School graduate Jim Negrych – and the parent club's off-season moves have some experts predicting a World Series title for the Blue Jays.
While the weather and the fan experience are the biggest factors that drive ticket sales, the Bisons say attendance goes up in August when the team is playing meaningful games. "People want to come and watch good baseball," Buczkowski said.
Stachera, the owner of the Irish Times, which is across Swan Street from Coca-Cola Field, said she's been waiting four years for the Bisons to link up with the Blue Jays.
She said she sees how many hockey fans from Southern Ontario come here for Sabres games, and she can't wait for the same thing to happen with the Bisons.
But the start of a Bisons season means she'll stay open longer on game days and she'll add staff to serve more beer, burgers and chicken wings to hungry fans.
"Opening Day is always really fun for us. We will be packed," Stachera said.

WAILUKU - In a case that centers on the constitutional right to be represented by an attorney, a lawyer for a Wailuku man argued Thursday that a 2nd Circuit judge didn't have good reason to deny the defendant's request to have his sentencing delayed for three weeks so a new attorney could represent him.
"I think the record as a whole shows an abuse of discretion," said attorney Hayden Aluli, representing Stephen Cramer Jr. "When the court said no, it ended."
But Deputy Prosecutor Artemio Baxa said that the judge had a responsibility to ensure "the orderly and timely administration of justice."
Article Photos
Maui defense attorney Hayden Aluli states his case in state v. Cramer before the Hawaii Supreme Court on Thursday morning in the Baldwin High School Auditorium. Shown are Associate Justices Richard Pollack (from right) and Simeon Acoba Jr., Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald, and Associate Justices Paula Nakayama and Sabrina McKenna.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
"We maintain in this case there was no wrongful denial of the counsel of choice under the facts," Baxa said.
The two attorneys were allotted 30 minutes each for oral arguments before the Hawaii Supreme Court, convening on Maui for the first time since the mid-1800s.
About 470 students from seven Maui high schools, as well as attorneys and community members, filled the Baldwin High School Auditorium for the historic court session. Sheriff's deputies searched those entering the auditorium, where police officers and security were posted.
After the arguments, the justices took the case under advisement, with an opinion to be issued later at an unspecified date.
Cramer, 27, was arrested in 2007 after police executed search warrants for him, his car and his apartment, finding a quantity of crystal methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and marijuana.
He was admitted into the Maui Drug Court program of treatment and supervision in 2009 and could have had the charges dismissed if he had successfully completed the program, Aluli said.
But he didn't complete Drug Court, dropping out in August 2010 when a motion to terminate his participation had been filed. He was convicted of the charges Nov. 4, 2010.
Cramer had been represented by a court-appointed deputy public defender.
But on his original sentencing date of Jan. 6, 2011, Aluli also appeared as Cramer's privately hired attorney and asked to be allowed to replace the court-appointed attorney if the sentencing would be delayed for three weeks.
The deputy prosecutor said the state was ready to proceed with sentencing, and Judge Shackley Raffetto denied Aluli's request as untimely.
As it turned out, Cramer's sentencing was delayed for five days over the issue of whether he was eligible to be sentenced to probation under a law that applies to first-time nonviolent drug offenders.
On Jan. 11, 2011, the judge found that Cramer wasn't eligible based on a Family Court order for protection filed against him. Cramer was sentenced to a 10-year prison term.
After Cramer appealed his sentence, the state Intermediate Court of Appeals ruled that the judge didn't abuse his discretion, and that there was no violation of Cramer's constitutional right to be represented by an attorney of his choice.
Cramer then asked the Hawaii Supreme Court to review the appeals court order, and the oral arguments were scheduled.
Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald asked Aluli whether the fact that his request wasn't made sooner should weigh against granting a delay in the sentencing.
"That's one of the factors the trial court can look at," Aluli said.
But Aluli said he had acted efficiently and appropriately and wanted to represent Cramer "but I could not do so unless I could have adequate time to prepare."
With no witnesses for the sentencing hearing, no state opposition to the delay and no previous requests for delays, Aluli said it was a constitutional violation to not grant the delay and to not allow him to represent Cramer.
Noting that an experienced judge made the ruling, Associate Justice Simeon Acoba Jr. said: "Without having to lay out every single reason, the judge said it was untimely. We can all understand that reason."
Aluli responded: "When a court is trying to exercise its discretion, there must be a record."
Associate Justice Paula Nakayama asked Aluli: "Don't you have an obligation to bring to the attention of the court the factors you think the court should take into consideration?"
Aluli said the trial judge had issued a "flat no."
"I think it would be unfair for a defense counsel to place himself in a situation of being irritating to the court," Aluli said.
During his argument, Baxa said Aluli's request to represent Cramer and delay the sentencing "was made at the very last day, the date assigned by the trial court for sentencing."
Associate Justice Sabrina McKenna asked why it wasn't an abuse of discretion for the trial judge to deny Aluli's request for a three-week delay.
"What was so pressing here?" she asked. "There were no witnesses. Obviously, this defendant had bonded out, was free on bail. Even after the trial, there was a two-month gap in sentencing. Therefore, it doesn't appear safety of the community was a concern. So what was the court's need here?"
Baxa responded: "In this case, we main-tain that the trial court had an interest in maintaining the orderly administration of justice and the timely administration of justice."
McKenna said that the Supreme Court has held that the right to private counsel is important. "It's important for the community to feel justice is being done," she said.
For a defendant to accept what he is sentenced to, "it's much better if the sentence is imposed by the counsel he chose," she said. "And, in fact, because the defendant was not sentenced through the counsel of his choice, we are here."
Baxa said that Cramer "addressed the Circuit Court at length" during his sentencing. "If he really wanted the substitution of counsel," why didn't Cramer make the request sooner, Baxa asked.
He also cited "the legal principle that says justice delayed is justice denied."
Aluli argued that the trial judge's "arbitrary, unreasonable denial" amounted to a violation of Cramer's constitutional rights.
Aluli said Cramer would qualify for probation and asked the court to send the case back to 2nd Circuit Court for sentencing before another judge.

"Right to Work" Consideration
Do you suppose a school board requires an applicant for a teaching position be required to verbally agree to join the local teacher's union as a prerequisite for being hired as a teacher? Of course not! Once hired however the teacher will have the choice to join or not join the union. It is however a choice, not a mandate.
An interesting assignment for a member of the media would be to connect the above dots. The above at the very least suggests interesting considerations regarding the "right to work." The "Pro's vs. the con's."

Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz on Monday followed through with a promise to veto $195,134 in spending that legislators added to the 2013 county budget, but it appeared likely that legislators would override that decision.
The vetoes will go to a vote today as the Legislature takes final action to formally adopt the $1.37 billion spending plan.
The extra money would pay for a grant administrator in the Comptroller's Office that Poloncarz had tried to cut, as well as funding for the Amherst Symphony Orchestra, the Operation Prime Time youth program and overtime in the County Clerk's Office.
Poloncarz, who disapproved of $8.5 million the Legislature cut from his budget last week, told legislators he was not opposed to all of the vetoed items but felt "forced to address a major structural imbalance in the 2013 budget" after the Legislature's changes. "In light of such drastic amendments I cannot support additional spending," he wrote to the legislators on Monday.
Poloncarz also left the door open to more action on the budget. "In addition, please be advised that my administration is conducting a legal review of all amendments passed as part of the 2013 budget for their adherence to state and county law and the charter," he wrote, "and we reserve the right to exercise any and all options that may be available to us."
The county executive can seek to block expenses the Legislature adds to the budget but cannot veto spending cuts. The 11-member Legislature needs eight votes to override a budget veto. It appeared Monday that there would be enough votes to keep each of the vetoed items in the budget.
That would include the $93,987 grant administrator in the Comptroller's Office and $63,647 in fringe benefits for the job. All of the legislators last week approved restoring the position, but they differed on whether the salary should be set at entry-level wages or at the pay scale of the 27-year county employee who currently holds the civil service job.
It was restored at the higher salary of $93,987 by a 7-4 vote, meaning it would take only one more vote to override Poloncarz's veto.
Legislator Lynn M. Marinelli, a Town of Tonawanda Democrat, said Monday she would support restoring the job, despite the fact that it was at a higher salary than she voted for last week along with four other Democrats during a lengthy budget meeting.
"I would have preferred it at step zero," Marinelli said. "But I think you heard after four hours of discussion, my concerns are on the larger lines that were cut that I believe still are cut too drastically."
The job of grant administrator, who oversees accounting for about $35 million in grants throughout county departments, is held by Gregory Gach. He was budget director under former County Executive Chris Collins.
"It's a critically important position for the Comptroller's Office," said Stefan Mychajliw, a Republican who will take office as comptroller in January, "one that ensures that the county is in compliance with social service grants that help the poor."
County Comptroller David J. Shenk, who will leave office next month, also has told legislators the job is important to his office, but a deputy budget director in the Poloncarz administration has told legislators the position could be "adequately handled by the deputy comptroller."
The vetoed items included $10,000 for the Amherst Symphony, an additional $20,000 for Operation Prime Time and $7,500 for overtime in the Registrar's Division of the County Clerk's Office. All three items were returned to the budget by a unanimous vote last week, leaving enough votes to override Poloncarz's veto if the votes remain the same today.
The $1.37 billion budget, which includes about $326.3 million in sales tax revenue that is passed on to local governments and schools, would not raise the county property tax rate after legislators narrowly approved the spending cuts last week.
Poloncarz, however, has said he will have to make "additional, real spending cuts" because he believes several of the budget lines that were reduced last week will still need to be spent. "As the county's chief budget officer, I am now required to implement strict austerity measures throughout the government and to make cuts that will bring the budget back into balance," Poloncarz wrote to legislators.

Everyone has their favorite way to prepare coffee. Regardless of which brewing method you use, these tips will help you achieve the best results every time.
Water Quality and Temperature
Start with freshly drawn, filtered cold water and bring to a boil. The best temperature for brewing coffee is between 195 F and 205 F. This can be reached by letting your kettle rest 30 seconds after coming to a boil.
Measure Carefully
Making coffee is like following a recipe: the correct proportion of ingredients (in this case, coffee and water) is vital. We suggest using two heaping tablespoons of whole beans for every six ounces of water.
Grind Just Before Brewing
Many coffee lovers have a coffee grinder somewhere in their kitchen. Grinding before brewing ensures the freshest coffee by releasing the flavors and aromas inside the coffee beans so they can be savored in your cup.
Brew Only What You Plan to Drink
Freshly-roasted, freshly-brewed coffee should never sit around, but should be enjoyed as soon as possible. If coffee sits on a burner or is reheated, it will have a scorched taste and lose the aromatic complexity of the coffee.
Store Coffee in an Airtight Container
One of the most frequently asked questions we get at Peet's is about coffee storage. We recommend that you keep a week's worth of coffee in an airtight, opaque container at room temperature to protect it against the staling effects of heat, light, and moisture. Whole beans will keep up to four weeks, but ground coffee should be brewed within a week or two.

The Great Marian Hossa Debate will never end. He will never do enough in the future and has not done enough in the past to earn the respect of bitter/fair weather fans. But it can no longer be said that he will never win a Cup. He's played so much hockey over the last 3 years, he's been very polite and gracious when answering questions about his previous losses, and if he didn't show up on the score sheet he still helped out his team. He earned this Cup and more than deserved it.
Kinda hard for him to get a decent fan base when he is on a different team every year.

Dear Abby: Please help save my marriage. My wife of five years discovered an Internet browser history of 13 Web pages I had clicked on the previous day. The pages were of women's sexy lips. My wife is calling it "porn" and a "gateway to porn." I feel guilty about it, but I told her it isn't pornography. I think it's a fetish. She says I'm using that word to get off the hook.
Will you please tell her that this probably is a fetish? Our sex life has not been the same since she discovered the images on the computer. What can we do about it in a way that will strengthen our marriage?
– Not Guilty As Charged
Dear Not Guilty: It's a shame you and your wife hadn't discussed what turns you on before she checked your browser history. A fetish is any object that turns someone on, and it can range from large breasts, to stiletto heels, to leather or rubber items of clothing, to full red lips. It is NOT pornography.
A way to strengthen your marriage would be for you to buy her a tube of bright red lipstick. And a way for her to improve your sex life would be to put it on.
Order is abusive
Dear Abby: I'm a 13-year-old girl with a sister and a brother. I was recently told by my dad that I have to teach my brother how to read, but the problem is he has a learning disability and a behavior disorder. I don't know how I'm supposed to teach him to read, and it scares me.
On top of that, my dad got mad at my sister and me and said that when we were younger we were just like my brother, only worse. He said he was close to giving up on us. Sometimes Dad says we're worthless, stupid and asks why we're even in this world. He says we're not good for anything.
I have a slight form of autism, so I'm sort of slow doing certain things other kids do at my age. I feel like I'll never be as smart as anyone else, and I have no clue how I'm going to teach my disabled brother to read. Help!
– Lost, Alone And Worried in Urbana, Ill.
Dear Lost: It would be wonderful if you could teach your learning disabled brother how to read, but you are not equipped to do that. Your brother should be in a special education class with a teacher who has the specialized training – and, possibly, a tutor.
Sometimes, when parents are extremely stressed or angry they can say things they don't mean without thinking of the lasting effect their words can have on a child. You are neither worthless nor stupid. You are an intelligent girl. Frankly, your father appears to be in need of some help, and I hope you will share with a counselor at your school what you have told me.

A popular model of the American-born Ingram submachine gun. MAC stands for Military Armament Company. It typically fires 9mm rounds at a blistering 1100 rounds per minute. It is comparable in several facets to most popular SMG ever, the Israeli-born uzi. However, while the Uzi appears in piece of shit games like Tomb Raider, the Ingram appears in groundbreaking gamez like Max Payne 2. (However, several mods have the Ingram changed to a MicroUzi).
When shit hitz the fan, best bet I'll be sportin a vest and sprayin on ya'll wit the Twin Mac-10z.

The Mac-10 is a submachine gun developed in the mid-1960s by Gordon B. Ingram for use by urban operators. It fires either the .45 ACP or the 9mm x 19 Parabellum cartridge. This gun is reknowm for it's incredible cyclic rate of fire- 1145 rpm. The gun fires from an open bolt (causing minimal accuracy) and it is mainly made of pressed steel. MAC strands for Marietta Armament Corperation, the company that made most of these guns. Another version, the Mac 11, fires the shorter .380 ACP round. Both guns were made to fit a Sionics Company suppressor/silencer.
I cannot stress enough that a MAC 10 is NOT an Uzi. They are two completely different weapons. Get it through your heads.

Céline Dion will return to Las Vegas for a brand-new show next year, she tells PEOPLE.
"It's happening!" Dion says of the upcoming three-year residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, where she ended a five-year run of sold-out shows in 2007. "Great songs, great lyrics. I think it's going to be very touching."
Dion and husband/manager René Angélil are hoping there will be someone special in the audience when the show kicks off on March 15, 2011: a new baby.
The singer, who discusses her fertility struggles in this week's PEOPLE cover story is trying IVF for the fifth time in hopes of making her 9-year-old son René-Charles a big brother.
Backed by 31 musicians, Dion's new show will feature "all the songs from my repertoire that people want to hear," along with a selection of music from classic Hollywood films, she says. "I just love the big orchestra and the beautiful black-and-white movies and romance."
For this Vegas run, Dion – the world's top earner in concert and album sales for the past decade – has scheduled most of her 70 annual performances around her son's school calendar.
"I'll balance my showbiz life with my most important job: motherhood," she tells PEOPLE.
Tickets for Dion's first 54 performances go on sale Friday, while her new concert documentary Celine: Through the Eyes of the World hits theaters Feb. 17.

For many people, hunting is more than a sport and much more than just a hobby. For those who have dedicated countless hours and several dollars, hunting is a way of life. Often it is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. It reminds us of a simpler time as it provides food for a family, décor for the walls, and a way for parents to bond with their children. Hunting creates lasting memories for the kid who will never forget the feeling of shooting that first deer. You now have a seemingly endless supply of firearm and archery accessories at your fingertips. There are targets to practice with and scent blocker when you're ready to head out. Cases and cleaning supplies will keep your weapons in tip top shape between hunts. Regardless of the critter you are hunting or what you are hunting with, everything you need is right here.

|Robust, High-Throughput Analysis of Protein Structures
Scientists have developed a fast and efficient way to determine the structure of proteins, shortening a process that often takes years into a matter of days. The Structurally Integrated BiologY for Life Sciences (SIBYLS) beamline at the ALS has implemented the world's highest-throughput biological-solution x-ray scattering beamline enabling genomic-scale protein-structure characterization. Coupling brilliant x rays from one of the superconducting bend magnets at the ALS to liquid-handling robotics has enabled the collection of 96 samples in 4 hours. Importantly, the sample format and the amount of material required are practical for most biological problems. The beamline's high-throughput capability is set to have a large impact on many fields that require genomic-scale information, such as Berkeley Lab's bioenergy efforts and cancer biology studies.
The high flux, brilliance, and focus of the x rays from ALS Beamline 12.3.1 are ideal for high-throughput, time-resolved experiments that cannot be replicated using in-house light sources. The SIBYLS team used a technique called small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) to image proteins in their natural state, such as in a solution, and at a resolution of about 10 angstroms, enough to determine three-dimensional shape. Although x-ray crystallography yields higher-resolution images, SAXS makes up for what it lacks in precision by providing fast, accurate information on the shape, assembly, and conformational changes of proteins. Also, by studying protein crystals in solution, smaller protein crystals of any shape can be analyzed and radiation damage is significantly reduced, making the technique practical for almost any biomolecule.
Because of the high throughput rate, the bottlenecks in the process occur during sample transfer, washing, and data analysis rather than data collection. To maximize speed, a robot automatically pipettes protein samples into position and supercomputer clusters analyze the resulting data. In this work, the researchers reported the results of 50 purified proteins analyzed over a period of 2 weeks. The 50 proteins were mostly from a single organism that has a total of 2000 genes. With the demonstrated throughput, 2000 proteins would be completed in a year and a half. The shape and assembly were reported for over 80% of the samples analyzed.
Aside from the record-breaking throughput, several additional important results were obtained from this study. Twelve proteins with no previous structural information were solved to 1.5-nm resolution. Over 50% of the proteins studied were multimeric (formed complexes of dimers and trimers, etc.). This finding underscores the importance of multimerization, as several multimeric states had been characterized incorrectly by other techniques. Finally, while genomics enables the quantification of the number of proteins an organism contains, identifying what each protein actually does is very challenging. A significant fraction of known proteins remain mysterious in terms of function. By comparing a protein's measured SAXS profile like a fingerprint to those calculated from existing available structures with known function, the researchers could obtain important clues to the purpose of the unknown protein.
The SIBYLS beamline's success relies on applying SAXS to focused biological problems. Current directions include the analysis of DNA repair pathways, which, if malfunctioning, are a leading cause of cancer. An equally important focus is on bioenergy production through the understanding of metabolic pathways in organisms capable of living in extreme industrial environments such as high temperature, salt,or pH. These organisms contain novel proteins that, for example, create hydrogen, a potential alternative fuel, as a by-product. In general, SAXS can quickly provide information at resolutions often sufficient for functional insights into how proteins work. With the number of genes being identified growing at a high rate, high-throughput SAXS helps us keep pace and is an enabling technology that may change the way that structural genomics research is done.

The former Olympian and Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, 64, stepped out with ombré highlights to his longer 'do Monday, following reports that he underwent surgery to decrease the size of his adam's apple – a cosmetic procedure known as a laryngeal shave.
There's been a flood of speculation about the motivation behind Jenner's changing appearance, but insiders tell PEOPLE that his new found freedom and a desire to stay youthful are the origin of his new look.
"He totally has this 'I may be an old man, but I'm cool and young too' syndrome and no one can tell him otherwise," says a close source.
After ending his 22-year marriage with Kris Jenner last fall, "he's a bit lonely, but he's doing his thing," says a family source. "Everything in the end of his marriage just became too much for him and his freedom is really liberating. He wanted to grow his hair long, so he did it. He wants to get manicures, so he gets them," adds the source.
Having moved out of the Calabasas home he shared with Kris, 58, and their two daughters, Kendall, 18 and Kylie, 16, not to mention their frequent visitors – step-daughter Kim Kardashian, 33, her daughter North West and fiancé, Kanye West, 36 – Bruce is now living alone in Malibu but closer to his two sons Brody, 30, and Brandon, 32.
"People in the family have brought up his hair or his clothes, whatever it is and how absurd they think it is, but Bruce doesn't care, nor does he want to listen to any kind of criticism," says the close source.
"He thinks he looks great and cool and that's that. But at the end of the day, however ridiculous people may think he looks, he's happy about it – or at least trying to find what he's happy with – so you really can't blame the guy for that."
In November, Bruce was candid about the criticism the family gets telling PEOPLE, "Sometimes they'll take some really, really tough shots at the family when they're not deserved and totally false, especially with my kids.
"I don't care what they say about me, but when they start ragging on my kids for things that they're not doing and totally misrepresenting them, that really, really bothers me to say the least."
As for all the recent criticism the former Olympian himself is now getting for his changing look, "He's doing what he wants to do," says the source. "It's just a matter of choice and not everybody has the same taste."

Duda Campos was a passionate Brazilian samba dancer. Her life was nothing but beach, gym and carnival. Loupan knew how to play drums and women. First he was drumming a fierce samba beat which made Duda dance and sweat. She needed to cool off with a glass dildo. This made her so horny that she couldn't wait to swallow his big Brazilian dick. Loupan couldn't wait to thrust it into her super pink pussy. He did her missionary, from the back, with her on top, with her legs up. Duda was Brazilian. She would surely love anal. When he stuck his dick in her ass she moaned louder than before. He repeated the previous positions until she gave him a foot job and he came all over her pussy and belly.
Panteras Box
Featuring Pandora Pantera and Loupan
This week on MikeInBrazil we got a beautiful 18 year old beauty. She goes by the name of Pandora Pantera. She got a big booty and a shaved and tan coochie. She's also already taking it in the butt, she's a rising star and now you've seen her first here on MIB. Hopefully she maintains that great body for our viewing pleasure for years to come.
Deep In Gabriela

Gustozo! GabriellaCastellari came to play and get wild. She hailed straight from Sao Paolo city. We ran across her while she was carrying around nine groceries by herself. In awe of how hot this babe was we offered our help and she was eternally grateful, she took our number down and a few weeks later she gave us a call. She sounded hella seductive and horny asking if we wanted to chill. We shot her the address and she was here within the with the freakiest booty shorts I've seen in a while. I greeted her in and it was history from there...
Brazilian Fire
Featuring Lorena Fire and Loupan
Lorena Fire was hot in her fitness gear. She was ripped and her buns were firm as a rock. She striped down and jumped in to pool after she jumped on her toy. Her huge pussy lips wrapped around it as as it disappeared between her legs. Loupan came in to give her the real deal. She slobbered all over it before he slurped up her lips. He gave her an extra workout and cooled her off with a man protein blast.
In Deep
Featuring Karolyne Vibe and Tony Tigrao
We've got the very sexy Brazilian babe Karolyne with us today and she came ready to play. The first thing she did was bust a dildo out of her bag to show of her sexy moves. This smoking hot babe had all the right curves and knew exactly hot to move her awesome body, not to mention her sick skills with the cock. Dont miss out on this Brazillan hottie showing us why they do it better and hotter down south.
Sexy Runner
Featuring Agatha Lee and Jbrown
What a nice day out in my lovely Brazil. So I decided to call up Agatha Lee and setup a little workout date. She was my exercise freak so she decided to tag along. Well this workout turned out to be funner that I previously thought. She arrived in skimpy shorts and a loose shirt with her tits popping out! She knew what she wanted and that was some after workout cock! Well, thats exactly what she got...
Pink Lust
Featuring Nicolle Bitencourt and Tony Tigrao
Nicolle Bitencourt makes a return to MIB. She still has some great tits, a great ass, and is still a nympho. We took Nicolle to the local park to start off the scene and she was turning heads left and right with the tight outfit she was wearing. It was so tight she had a sweet cameltoe going. After causing a few car accidents we took her back home and started the real show. We kicked it off by giving her a dildo. She went to town on that dildo, but after a while she wanted the real thing. We even got some anal. Good times.
Going Down
Featuring Renata Nunes and Jbrown
On today's Mike In Brazil, we find Renata Nunes having a refreshing drink in the tropical backyard. She's looking sexy in jean shorts and a halter top. Right away we can tell that Renata is hot and horny. One by one, she rids herself of her garments, exposing her wonderful tits and big latin ass. As she gets more and more turned on, she plays with her pussy. First, she uses her fingers and then a dildo. Finally, she gets so hot, that she begs for a cock. In exotic Brazil, ask and you shall receive.
Ass Out Cock In
Featuring Leticia Sanches and Jbrown
Leticia Sanches graced our hallowed grounds of Brazilian rump and insured her place among the pantheon of pulchritudinous posteriors. We always strive to bring the best butts Brazil has to offer and Leticia fits that description quite nicely. Her statuesque curvature was filling her tight, white dress to the brim and her perfectly plump rump was bulging and ready to bust out. Leticia's legs are chiseled perfection and she knew it. Nothing sexier on a woman than confidence and the go-getter attitude to get exactly what she wants.
Ready To Bang
Featuring Bianca Melo and Jbrown
Bianca Melo was back again and looking super sexy. Those big jugs were so juicy and delicious. She started out by playing with her pussy and caressing her big tits. She got her body soapy and wet. She continued the action in the bedroom, where she stroked her pussy with a glass dildo. JBrown joined the party and she sucked and fucked that cock. She got her pussy munched on and got that pussy drilled. Then, she got that cock in her asshole or some awesome anal. She got her pussy and asshole rammed and got that man juice all over huge knockers.
Luscious Lace
Featuring Rebeca and Tony Tigrao
Rebeca is not the kind of girl into small talk and niceties. This Brazilian babe likes to get right to the heart of things. She quickly slipped on a pretty, white lingerie and gave us a little show as she modeled it and teased us the whole way through. She laid on her back and started touching herself but as soon as there was a cock close enough for her to pop into her mouth, she did just that! Some Brazilian girls are sexually insatiable and I think everyone will agree she's the perfect example of that kind of Brazilian beauty.

text: Successful First Day Complete at Stetson Tourneys November 06, 2012 Near perfect playing conditions on Monday led to some low scores and good competition on the first day of the Holiday Inn Express/Hatter Classic and Stetson/CFSC Invitational. The Stetson women's golf team, behind the strong play of junior Sammi Smith (Louisville, Ky.), took a first round lead at the Hatter Classic with an opening round score of 308. The Hatters (618), however, will head into Tuesday's final round three shots behind Daytona State College (615) in their quest for a sixth consecutive title in their home tournament. McNeese State (622) is just seven shots off the lead with USC Upstate (629) in fourth place. Smith followed her opening round score of two-under par 70 with a two over par 74 in the second round. She will head into play on Tuesday with a five shot lead over Mary Dawson of Daytona State. The highlight of the day in the men's tournament was posted in the second round by Edward Figueroa of Florida Gulf Coast when he scored an ace on the 223-yard par three third hole. Figueroa and the Eagles, who have won three straight Stetson Invitational tournaments, are one shot off the lead going into Tuesday's final round. USC Upstate played consistent golf all day on Monday, posting team rounds of 288 and 291. The Spartans (579) will have their hands full on Tuesday, with FGCU (580) just one shot behind with Bethune-Cookman (583) and UCF (586) both also within striking distance. Adam Goins of USC Upstate has the individual lead in the men's tournament after rounds of 69 and 72. He has a one shot lead over Leon Fricker (142) of Bethune-Cookman and a two-shot advantage over teammate Ryan Cornfield (143), Ricardo Gouveia (143) of UCF and Matt Cote (143) of FGCU. The Stetson men did not have a great day on the links, posting team scores of 316 and 310, and stand eighth in the nine-team field going into the final round. Hatters freshman David Torres (Port St. Lucie, Fla.), who is playing in the event as an individual, is just five shots off the individual lead after posting rounds of 71 and 75 on Monday. Fellow freshman Dustin Dingus (Palm Harbor, Fla.) is two shots further back, tied for 14th, after consecutive rounds of 74 on Monday. Freshman Michael Primavera (Naples, Fla.) stands tied for 34th with a total score of 156. Sophomore Matt Taylor (Naples, Fla.) and junior Tyler White (Palm Harbor, Fla.) are tied for 40th (162) with freshman Andrew Peterson (Andover, Minn.) in 45th place (169). Behind Smith for the Stetson women, the Hatters have three other players in the top 20 going into Tuesday's play. Junior Claudia Redinger (Durban, South Africa) is tied for 10th after consecutive rounds of 78. Juniors Jenna Hoecker (Rochester, NY) and Ryan Ashburn (Largo, Fla.) are tied for 16th with matching scores of 159. Junior Mallory Viera (Howie-in-the-Hills, Fla.) is tied for 27th with a score of 164. Both tournaments are scheduled to conclude with single rounds of play on Tuesday. Play is scheduled to begin with a shotgun start at 7:15 a.m. but the weather forecast is calling for a 70 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms throughout the day.Print Friendly Version More Headlines

Published September 5, 2013
Case Scaglione, assistant conductor for the New York Philharmonic, will conduct the Slee Sinfonietta in a Sept. 10 performance that opens the Department of Music's 2013-14 concert season.
The concert by UB's professional chamber orchestra in residence will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Lippes Concert Hall in Slee Hall, North Campus.
Also on tap this month will be a performance by cellist Joshua Roman, a protégé of Yo Yo Ma, as part of the Slee/Visiting Artist Series. That concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 21 in Baird Recital Hall, 250 Baird Hall, North Campus.
The first half of the program for the Slee Sinfonietta concert will begin with of a number of short songs, including two settings of the gloomy and foreboding Paul Verlaine poem "Un grand sommeil noir" (translated "A Deep Black Sheep"). The program then will move on to songs that magnify and glorify God based on the Jewish prayer book and traditional Yiddish verse. Mezzo-soprano Julia Bentley is the featured soloist.
The first half of the concert will end with Boulez' 1987 orchestration of Ravel's very brief "Frontispice," originally composed for two pianos, five hands.
The second half of the program consists of the monumental, 53-minute revision of Boulez' "Derive 2," the shorter original composed for Elliott Carter on the occasion of his 80th birthday in 1988.
The concert is being presented by the Department of Music in conjunction with The Robert & Carol Morris Center for 21st Century Music at UB.
Roman's Sept. 21 concert will feature three of Bach's beloved solo cello suites: Suite No.3 in C major, BWV 1009; Suite No.2 in D minor, BWV 1008; and Suite No. 6 in D Major, BWV 1012.
Advanced tickets for both concerts are $12 for adults, $9 for UB faculty/staff/alumni and senior citizens, and $5 for students. At the door, tickets are $20, $15 and $8. Tickets can be obtained by calling the Slee Hall box office at (716) 645-2921, in person at the Center for the Arts box office, or online at tickets.com.
The Slee Sinfonietta, the flagship ensemble of the Robert and Carol Morris Center for 21st Century Music, presents a series of concerts each year that feature performances of challenging new works by contemporary composers and lesser-known works from the chamber orchestra repertoire.
Founded in 1997 by composer and UB faculty member David Felder, the ensemble is comprised of a core group, including UB faculty performance artists, visiting artists, national and regional professionals, and advanced performance students. It is conducted by leading conductors and composers.
Joshua Roman, a native of Oklahoma City, began playing the cello at age 3 on a quarter-size instrument and gave his first public recital at age 10. Home-schooled until he was 16, Roman then pursued his musical studies at the Cleveland Institute of Music with Richard Aaron. He received a bachelor's degree in cello performance in 2004 and a master's degree in 2005 as a student of Desmond Hoebig, former principal cellist of the Cleveland Orchestra.
Before embarking on a solo career, Roman spent two seasons as principal cellist of the Seattle Symphony, a position he won in 2006 at the age of 22. Since that time he has appeared as soloist with the Seattle Symphony, where he gave the world premiere of David Stock's Cello Concerto, as well as with the Albany and Santa Barbara symphonies and the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional del Ecuador, among many others.
He performed Britten's third "Cello Suite" during New York's Mostly Mozart Festival in a pre-concert recital at Avery Fisher Hall, and was the only guest artist invited to play an unaccompanied solo during the YouTube Symphony Orchestra's 2009 debut concert at Carnegie Hall.
In addition to his solo work, Roman is an active chamber music performer, collaborating with veterans like Earl Carlyss, Christopher Taylor and Christian Zacharias, as well as with the Seattle Chamber Music Society and the International Festival of Chamber Music in Lima, Peru.
A complete musician who is dedicated to performance, artistic leadership and creation of new works through collaboration, Roman also serves as artistic director of TownMusic in Seattle.

Theres never a dull moment at Crazy Acres.
Thats what I call our home because A) Its rural and B) Life here is crazy.
First things first: I like everything about living in the country except living in the country. And by that I mean I love the sense of small-town community. I love having neighbors who are both tolerant and helpful, and I love the fried chicken at the local Stop & Spend. (I just made that up. Want to buy a franchise?)
I love living in a fairy tale cottage with a red door, a white picket fence, an old oak tree and rose bushes blooming everywhere. I love shopping in a family-owned general store that sells live crickets, wine and Carolina Girl shirts.
What I dont love is that the fairy tale cottage, the neighbors, the fried chicken and the crickets are located at least 30 miles from what I want to do, which is hang out in Charleston.
But one cant have everything: If I moved to Mount Pleasant, I doubt the neighbors would appreciate me walking the dog in my husbands boxer shorts and a tofu-stained Lou Reed t-shirt. (If I wear that out here passing drivers wave politely, but you know theyre thinking, Widdles wife is a hot mess.)
Anyway, back to the latest happenings at Crazy Acres. Weve had our roosters, Ben and Jerry, for a year now, and they are HUGE. Their bronze and white bodies are huge. Their feet are huge. Their spurs and combs are huge. Every visitor says the same thing: Those birds are HUGE. Picture Godzilla with feathers; thats how big they are. When they stand next to our overgrown, long-legged Lab Molly, she looks like a beagle.
We couldnt figure out why these guys were getting so large on a diet of cracked corn and the occasional granola bar. (What? Its whole grain.)
Then one day last week Widdle started shouting from his bathroom. I dont know about you, but when a man starts yelling in the bathroom, I go the other way. Dont need to know. But he burst into the living room and said, Theyre eating Mollys food!
I said, Who? wondering if the neighborhood kids had a new hobby.
Ben and Jerry! he bawled.
Are you sure? I asked, because Molly has an automatic feeder. When she nudges a small spring-loaded door inward, food spills out. A chicken, even one as big as Ben or Jerry, isnt heavy enough to push the door. It takes strength. But when Widdle looked out his bathroom window at the shed that houses her feeder, guess what?
Theyre working together, he hissed. I saw them! They get on either side and press the bottom of the door at the same time, until food falls out! No wonder theyre huge! No wonder Molly is losing weight! No wonder Ive been spending 100 dollars a month on dog food!!!!!
Mollys food is a special formula, with lots of vitamins and extra protein. And our roosters have apparently been merrily eating, and growing excessively large on it, for a year. Now Widdle has jerry-rigged the feeder, and they cant use it any more. Which they are not happy about.
This morning, Ben marched up the back steps and started banging on the storm door with his beak. I know because I was on the other side of the storm door watching him. The gravy train is gone and hes ticked.
Just another day at Crazy Acres.

Dairy Down Under: Working with Wildlife
Dairy Down Under: Working with Wildlife
More adventures from the student working on a Tasmanian dairy. Here in Tasmania, I have been blessed with one-on-one contact with some of Australia's native wildlife. I was introduced to the wallaby as it leapt in front of my car. That poor wallaby never saw what was coming. This was my first incident killing a critter with a car and it just had to happen in another country.
At the dairy, we have this little ugly critter called the possum. The possum has a face like a bat, crawls like a monkey, and screams like a devil. One night after a late-night milking, I heard this ghost-like scream. I stopped washing down the parlor and asked in a nervous voice, "What on earth is that?" Both Ryan and Jai (two co workers and native Tasmanians) didn't even look up as they said, in unison, "Possum."
This animal does not just have a face that only a mother could love, they also have a naughty side. One early milking, Jai and I were working, and things were going smoothly until the vacuum stopped. So, when the cows made it to "cups-off," they were not milked out. We stopped milking and crawled around the parlor looking for a leak. Finally, we noticed that the switch was turned off! Our boss said it must have been a possum that turned off the switch. We all had a good laugh.
Later that day during evening milking, it happened again! We quickly turned it back on and properly milked out the cows. We once again laughed about that possum "sabotaging" our milking times. A few minutes later, we noticed the lights were off. We look up to the corner with no light and saw that possum hanging from the cord like Tarzan. A possum unplugged the lights! I burst out laughing as Jai climbed up to scare the possum and replug the lights in for the dairy.
"I hate possums!" Jai said, as I continued to laugh until my sides hurt. "The joys of working in the bush," I managed to say between laughing bursts.
We named this possum "Pete" and when anything goes wrong at the dairy, we blame it on that silly possum!
It is true. On the farm, farmers have the true blessing of being close to Mother Nature. That includes beautiful birds in nearby lakes, fresh air, native trees that add beauty, and for me, a naughty possum that likes to cause mischief.
Hoo Roo!
Anna Gibson

- Color
S208- Dark (For dark skin with neutral undertone)
To Ellis, foundation and concealer work in pairs, and different complexions, from light to dark, demand a different degree of contrast between the foundation and the concealer.
The eight foundations and eight concealers in the ELLIS FAAS collection reflect Ellis's years of experience discovering combinations of foundation and concealer that result in seamless coverage on any skin tone.
The secret to seamless concealer coverage lies in its relation to the foundation colour: Darker skin demands more contrast between concealer and foundation, while lighter skin requires foundation and concealer that are more similar in colour. Paired with Skin Veil, ELLIS FAAS concealer accommodates these dramatic differences in the requirements of different skin tones.
Like the ELLIS FAAS Skin Veil foundation, ELLIS FAAS concealer has a polished finish, with a formulation that offers high coverage to reduce the appearance of blemishes, pigmentation spots and dark circles. With a unique blend of ingredients such as Karite oil and rice wax, ELLIS FAAS concealer immediately blends into the skin for a flawless finish. Vitamins E and C in the formula hydrate and have anti-aging and regenerating properties. ELLIS FAAS concealer is recommended for all skin types.

Could New Hampshire be in the path of another winter storm?
There will be fair skies for the next few days, but it is becoming more certain that another snowstorm will affect the state this weekend.
This storm will not be as powerful as the one a couple of weeks ago, but is likely to be the second strongest of the year so far.
Weather models show that the snow will likely be heavy and wet. At this point it looks possible that central and southern parts of the state could receive a foot or more of snow with lesser amounts farther north.
As the path of this weekend storm becomes even more certain, we will be able to give detailed projections in terms of snow amounts by region.

The Development and Microbiology of Bioprocesses for the Production of Hydrogen and Ethanol by Dark Fermentation
Koskinen, Perttu
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2008-09-26

University: Tampere University of Technology

Department: Department of Chemistry and Bioengineering
This work investigated the production of hydrogen and ethanol from carbohydrates by bacterial dark fermentation. Meso and thermophilic fermenters were enriched from the environment, and their H2 and/or ethanol production in batch determined. Continuous biofilm, suspended-cell and granular-cell processes for H2 or ethanol+H2 production from glucose were developed and studied. Dynamics of microbial communities in processes were determined based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. Mesophilic enrichment, obtained from anaerobic digester sludge, produced 1.24 mol-H2 mol-glucose-1 in batch assays. Hydrogen production by the enrichment in a mesophilic fluidized-bed bioreactor (FBR) was found to be unstable  prompt onset of H2 production along with butyrate-acetate was followed by rapid decrease and cease associated with propionate-acetate production. Intermittent batch (semi-continuous) operation allowed a momentary recovery of H2 production in the FBR. The highest H2 production rate (HPR) observed in FBR was 28.8 mmol h-1 L-1, which corresponded to a relatively high hydrogen yield (HY) of 1.90 mol-H2 mol-glucose-1. Mesophilic, completely-mixed column reactor (CMCR), with a similar inoculum and feed as used in the FBR, provided a prolonged H2 production for 5 months. Highest HPR observed in the CMCR was 18.8 mmol h-1 L-1 (HY of 1.70 mol-H2 mol-glucose-1), while it in general remained between 1 and 6 mmol h-1 L-1. Hydrogen production in the CMCR was decreased by shifts in microbial community metabolism from initial butyrate-acetate metabolism, first to ethanol-acetate, followed by acetate-dominated metabolism, and finally to propionate-acetate metabolism, which ceased H2 production. The transitions of dominant metabolisms were successfully detected and visualized by self-organizing maps (SOMs). Developed Clustering hybrid regression (CHR) model, performed well in modeling the HPR based on the data on process parameters (pH, HRT) and metabolites (organic acids, ethanol, CO2). The instability of mesophilic processes (FBR and CMCR) was found to be due to rapid changes in microbial community structures after the start-up of continuous operation. The enrichment of organisms in bioreactors changed community metabolism away from H2 (and butyrate-acetate) production. The FBR supported the growth of more diverse microbial community than that observed in the CMCR. Clostridium butyricum was the main H2-producing organism in mesophilic bioreactors based on the metabolic pattern (e.g., high B/A ratio) and on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. The changes in quantities of C. butyricum (based on quantitative real time-PCR, and on proportion trends by DGGE) roughly corresponded to those in HPR. Hydrogen production was more stable in the mesophilic CMCR than in the FBR. The instability of H2 production in mesophilic reactors was likely related to the following reasons: Improper biocarrier in the FBR (low mass transfer of H2, good adhesion of propionate-producers); unsuitable microbial community, e.g., presence of propionate-producers (BESA enrichment, no selection of spore-formers); too low bioreactor loading (caused sporulation of C. butyricum and favored the growth of propionate-producers). Thermophilic isolate AK15, affiliated with C. uzonii (98.8%), produced relatively high amounts of H2 from glucose (up to 1.9 mol-H2 mol-glucose-1) and xylose (up to 1.1 mol-H2 mol-xylose-1) in batch at 60C. Batch ethanol production by another thermophilic strain, AK17, affiliated with Thermoanaerobacterium aciditolerans (99.2%), was amongst the highest reported for thermoanaerobes with ethanol yields of up to 1.6 mol-EtOH mol-glucose-1 and 1.1 mol-EtOH mol-xylose-1 in batch assays at 60C. The HYs in batch by AK17 were up to 1.2 mol-H2 mol-glucose-1 and 1.0 mol-H2 mol-xylose-1. Further, AK17 tolerated up to 4%, v/v of exogenously added ethanol, and utilized main sugar residues found in lignocellulosic materials. Stable, long-term (3 months), co-production of ethanol and H2 was achieved in an open system, CMCR by a co-culture of AK15 and AK17 at 60 C. AK17 became dominant in the CMCR, producing promising ethanol yield of 1.35 mol-EtOH mol-glucose-1 and HPR of 6.1 mmol h-1 L-1 from glucose at the HRT of 3.1 h. Extensive screening of Icelandic hot spring samples with glucose resulted in several H2 and ethanol+H2 -producing enrichment cultures, over a temperature range from 50 to 78 °C. One enrichment produced H2 directly from cellulose at 70 C. Enrichment 9HG, dominated by bacteria closely affiliated with Thermoanaerobacter thermohydrosulfuricus (100%), produced relatively high yields of ethanol (1.21 mol-EtOH mol-glucose-1), and some H2 (0.68 mol-H2 mol-glucose-1), from glucose in batch at 78 °C. Lactate production decreased the ethanol (0.69 mol-EtOH mol-glucose-1) and H2 (0.32 mol-H2 mol-glucose-1) yields in the continuous-flow bioreactor at 74 C, and the yields were lower than those obtained in the batch fermentations. Co-production of ethanol+H2 by 9HG was pH-dependent, and favored at the pH range of 6.5 to 7.1. The hydrogen yield in batch (3.2 mol-H2 mol-glucose-1) by hot spring enrichment 33HL was among the highest reported for thermoanaerobes. The batch 33HL produced H2 along with acetate. The dominant bacteria in the batch 33HL, Thermobrachium celere (100%) affiliated strains, did not thrive in continuous or semi-continuous open reactor systems fed with glucose. Continuous or semi-continuous reactor cultures with 33HL were dominated bacteria closely affiliated with Thermoanaerobacterium aotearoense (98.5 99.6%). These cultures produced H2 along with acetate and butyrate. High HY of 2.51 mol-H2 mol-glucose-1 by 33HL was obtained in semi-continuous reactor at the HRT of 24 h at 58C. High hydrogen production rate from glucose, 45.8 mmol h-1 L-1, was obtained in continuous-flow reactor by 33HL at the HRT of 3h. Hydrogen production by 33HL was characterized by higher H2 production efficiency (i.e., higher H2 yield or specific H2 production rate) than reported for mesophilic cultures. The 33HL readily formed granules in the continuous and semi-continuous reactor systems. Possessing good self-granulation, wide substrate utilization range and high hydrogen production efficiency, the 33HL is considered very suitable for thermophilic H2 fermentation from carbohydrates. This study demonstrated the H2 or ethanol+H2 production potential by thermophilic dark fermentation. Considering practical applications with the promising thermophilic cultures (AK17 and 33HL), continuous ethanol+H2 or H2 production from pentose sugars and real materials (i.e., organic wastes, lignocellulose hydrolysates) materials should be further studied. In this study, better stability and higher H2 production was obtained by thermophilic dark fermentation processes compared to mesophilic processes. The better stability was related to more stable and less diverse microbial communities in the thermophilic systems compared to mesophilic systems. Further, this study demonstrated ready granulation and high H2 production efficiency of thermophiles, which form basis for further development of thermophilic, high-rate H2 production systems.
