The Ultrasensitive ESI-MS Source and Interface developed at PNNL provides at least a 40-fold increase in mass spectrometry sensitivity relative to commercially available instrumentation.
RICHLAND, Wash. —
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have won two of R&D Magazine's prestigious "R&D 100 Awards" for advanced instrumentation for human health and for innovative engineering for renewable energy sources.
"We are extremely proud of our winners," said Steve Ashby, PNNL's deputy director for science and technology. "They're among our very best scientists and engineers. As these awards attest, they went the extra mile to turn their innovative research into practical solutions that will help address challenges in energy, environment and national security."
R&D magazine presents awards annually to the 100 most innovative scientific and technical breakthroughs of the year.
"The Department of Energy's national laboratories are incubators of innovation, and I'm proud they are being recognized once again for their remarkable work," said Energy Secretary Steven Chu. "The cutting-edge research and development being done in our national labs is vital to maintaining America's competitive edge, increasing our nation's energy security, and protecting our environment. I want to thank this year's winners for their work and congratulate them on this award."
PNNL's award-winning technologies include:
Creating electrical energy from the environment Power Puck
Electricity can be created by processing heat associated with naturally occurring temperature differences in the environment. This essentially inexhaustible source of heat can be converted into electrical power sufficient to run compact, low-power devices like wireless sensors for decades. The Perpetua Power Puck™ harvests energy from its surrounding environment with the capability for replacing outright conventional chemical batteries.
The Power Puck is a renewable energy source that has no moving parts, which makes it more efficient and cost-effective than other technologies. The technology can save time and money in situations where information needs to be collected and power sources need to be maintained at remote sites, such as dams, bridges and pipelines. These energy harvesters are expected to last as long as the sensors and transmitters they power.
Perpetua Power Puck is being marketed for industrial automation, military, energy efficient buildings and other applications. It is based on technology developed at PNNL called the Thermoelectric Ambient Energy Harvester and licensed to Perpetua Power Source Technologies, based in Corvallis, Ore. PNNL received the R&D 100 award in partnership with Perpetua.
Achieving unprecedented analysis levels for human health studiesUltrasensitive ESI-MS Source & Interface
Scientists at PNNL have achieved a 40-fold increase in the sensitivity of mass spectrometry instrumentation that will benefit applications in human health, the environment, and pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries. The Ultrasensitive ESI-MS Source & Interface integrates four technologies to provide greater sensitivity and precise measurements while requiring smaller samples.
Mass spectrometry instrumentation enables the analysis and identification of broad types of samples and ranges of chemical compounds. It's commonly used for environmental and health analyses, as well as by industry for pharmaceutical and petrochemical product development. The most broadly useful methods for chemical and biochemical samples use electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS).
PNNL's improved ESI-MS instrumentation can measure amounts of compounds in a sample very precisely, even when very little material is available - which is especially important when sample sizes are limited, such as from microbiopsies of human tissue.
PNNL scientists are using the improved sensitivity in studies to develop biomarkers for early disease diagnosis, drug target discovery and basic biological research. The laboratory is also engaged in a collaboration with a major vendor of mass spectrometry instruments to further explore the benefits of the new ESI-MS system.
Facilities at EMSL, DOE's Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory on the PNNL campus, were also used in the PNNL effort.
The awards bring PNNL's total to 80 since the contest began in 1969, including 73 since 1988. PNNL staff members involved in developing these technologies will be honored at the R&D 100 Awards ceremony in Orlando in November.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate presently in production. Original sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 devices for the first year. This mark was gone beyond in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but several changes were made at the standard opening of the brand-new model year (start August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of generators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design below a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These attributes made enough distinction to necessitate classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has withstood with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Meridian CA are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the first time in vehicle history that the Big 3 were having to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the first variation however, due to the extra equipment required to satisfy brand-new US emission and safety regulations, was much heavier than the very first model. Efficiency was reduced and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were sold.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Meridian CA were offered between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a 3rd time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was actually huge enough for 4 people. The trunk was larger and so was the engine bay. The body designs offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 pace vehicle and Ford developed 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

First flight to operate with biofuel made from locally grown tobacco plants.
JOHANNESBURG. 15 July 2016. The South African Airways Group (SAA) today operated Africa's first sustainable Biofuel flights.
Today's SAA and Mango flights on Boeing 737-800s between Johannesburg and Cape Town make history as the first sustainable biofuel flights to have taken place on the African continent. The flights used home-grown feedstock from the Marble Hall area in the Limpopo region of South Africa as part of Project Solaris, a biofuels project named after the energy tobacco plant used. The nicotine-free, hybridised tobacco plant lends itself to the production of biofuel as the Solaris plant produces small leaves and prodigious flowers and seeds that are crushed to extract a vegetable crude oil. The Solaris plant is ideally suited for this purpose as the remaining seedcake is used as a high protein animal feed supplement that also contributes to food security.
"The project has brought economic and rural development to the Limpopo province in keeping with SAA's mandate to support the South African National Developmental Plan. It establishes a new regional bio jet fuel supply chain of which we can rightfully be proud. SAA as a leading African and global airline is a trailblazer when it comes to environmental and social sustainability in Africa," says Musa Zwane, SAA's Acting CEO.
"Mango has always been in great support of environmental initiatives and has, over the past decade, engaged in several sustainable and environmentally beneficial social development programmes. In addition, over time, we have taken several measures to reduce fuel consumption and, as a positive consequence, the reduction of emissions through the installation of lighter seating and removal of excess aircraft weight among others. It is a privilege to participate in the SAA biofuel programme. The project also shows how, when various role players come together and collaborate, success is imminent," says Nico Bezuidenhout, Mango CEO.
This African First, is a collaboration between the South African Airways; the Boeing Company, the industry leader in global efforts to develop and commercialise sustainable biofuel; SkyNRG, the global market leader for sustainable jet fuel, having supplied more than 20 airlines worldwide; and Sunchem Holding, an industrial research and development company working in the field of extracting energy from plants and the Solaris patent holder. The Boeing Company celebrates its centenary this month.
"It is fitting that on our 100 year anniversary we are flying on fuels that not only power the flights but ensure a sustainable future for our industry," said Miguel Santos, managing director for Africa, Boeing International. "This project is a great example of environmental stewardship that delivers economic and health benefits to South Africa."
The first Solaris crop, comprising 50 hectares, was produced and harvested in December 2014 by Sunchem SA, from where the seed oils were extracted through crushing the seeds produced by the plants. The plant then produces additional flowers and seeds which are harvested a few months later. The seedcake remaining after the crushing can be utilised for animal feed as it is high in proteins and the oil extracted is then available for refining into a biofuel.
"Over the last two years Sunchem SA successfully worked side by side with local farmers in Marble Hall, Limpopo to grow the Solaris crop and make today's biofuel flight a success. We are very proud about this achievement as it shows that the patented Sunchem Solaris technology opens a new market for Southern Africa and beyond," says Hayo de Feijter, CEO Sunchem SA.
This biofuel is refined to a high global specification and can be blended with conventional fossil jet fuel and used as a 'drop in' fuel. This means that no modifications to the aircraft or engines are required at all and the aircraft is simply fuelled with this certified blend. Aviation biofuels undergo more tests and have to meet stricter specifications than conventional jet fuel. All fuel used conforms to global standards. The long-term ambitious goal of the programme is to operate all flights out of SAA's hub at the OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg on sustainable biofuels. The fuel for the flights was supplied by SkyNRG and produced by AltAir Fuels.
Maarten van Dijk, CEO SkyNRG; "We are proud to supply South African Airways together with our partner AltAir Fuels, the first and only refinery worldwide that produces sustainable biojet fuel on commercial scale. This flight represents an important next step for Project Solaris and we thank the Dutch government for their ongoing support that has been key in achieving today's success." The Solaris crop achieved certification from the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB), one of the strongest sustainability standards in the world. RSB certification provides a model for expansion of Project Solaris to larger scale production. The RSB standard is considered the 'gold standard' of environmental sustainability for biomaterials and incorporates stringent environmental and social requirements that ensure the biomaterials are environmentally friendly and are certified to reduce emissions while the growing of the plants is done in a socially responsible and caring way to ensure that local communities benefit and the crop does not threaten food security.
Rolf Hogan, Executive Director RSB says "RSB is honoured to be part of this project that is making a positive impact in the Limpopo province in South Africa. This project can improve the lives of smallholder farmers in South Africa as well as inspire others around the world to show that it is possible to produce environmentally, ethically and socially sustainable biofuel. We hope this project serves as an example that can be duplicated around the world in various regions with diverse feedstocks."
This project is supported by the WWF-SA through a research grant from the Boeing Company that aims to investigate the viability and impact of a large scale biofuel programme on South Africa and on the environment considering all relevant factors such as water use and food security.
James Reeler of the Policy and Futures Unit with WWF South Africa commented: "We commend SAA for taking this important first step to engaging with the burning issue of aviation emissions. Biofuels could feasibly reduce up to 9% of aviation's greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, as long as the growth of the industry addresses the potential sustainability issues associated with biofuel production. By using RSB-certified feedstock, SAA has demonstrated its concern with not only reducing its carbon footprint, but also ensuring that the biofuel supply chain reduces other social and environmental risks."
The partners today also launched a stakeholder and sustainability plan called the Southern Africa Sustainable Aviation Fuel Initiative (SASAFI) to ensure a long-term domestic fuel supply for SAA and other regional fuel users. The goal for the initiative is to scale-up over the next several years to gain additional biofuel capacity. If successful, farmers will be able to tap into local and global demand for certified feedstock without adverse impact to food supplies, fresh water or land use.

Another day, another 6am wakeup call. It was cold, wet (it had rained during the night) and dark in the morning when I rolled out of bed (near record-setting cold as it turned out, but we didn't know that yet), but we had a race to get to so we had to get going. After a gourmet campfire breakfast cooked up by Chris, we pulled on our chilly biking gear (which for me involved many layers but oddly no tights or kneewarmers—just my Performance Elite II bib shorts) and headed over to the start line.
Everyone was giddy to get started, and not really sure what to expect from today's stage, when the race promoter, Todd Branham, got on the microphone. First off, he said today's stage should be easier than yesterday (already, warning bells were going off in our heads—when we factored in the "It's like Pisgah" factor, we knew we were in for an adventure). The stage would start with a 7 mile section on the highway, followed by a long gravel road climb and then a "sketchy" descent (again, remember that "It's like Pisgah"!) Ah, but wait, there's more. Soon after the descent we would encounter a stream crossing that was "waist deep" and about 40 feet across; they don't call this the "Land of the Waterfalls" for nothing. Then the kicker: "Get used to this," he said "as you will then do this seven more times." Of course, all of this was going to happen in the first 15 miles of the day's stage—so the rest of the day would be a slog in cold, wet shoes!
Here's a map and elevation profile of the day's stage:
There was no time to rethink our sartorial selection (or sanity), as the race was on; albeit with the aforementioned 7 mile police-escorted road section. With road spray kicking up into our face from the rain-slicked roads, we soon found a small group (including a grateful, and hilariously spinning, singlespeed racer) and pacelined our way to the gravel road climb. Up we spun to finally reach singletrack on the Vineyard Gap Trail (although my legs were already feeling spongy from the day before). Then it was down the "sketchy" descent towards the stream crossings; basically we were flying down a gulley with drop-offs and slick, diagonal waterbars, and just hanging on was the order of the day! We made it down, but then it was time for the real fun to begin:
Here I am fording crossing #1, from the perspective of an extremely dedicated race volunteer (in hip waders) standing nearly waist-deep in the middle of the stream, directing traffic. As you can see in this shot of Chris, the water came up to about mid-thigh and it was (technically speaking) really cold!:
As soon as you made it through the crossing, the payoff was a steep, slick, ankle-deep mud bank:
1 down, 7 to go! This became our rallying cry as we repeated the stream crossings. Scramble and slide through muddy trail, splash into the icy creek (thankfully not as deep after the first one) and then slog up a muddy bank on the other side; 2 down, 6 to go! Here's a video of a particularly tricky crossing across a little rapids section:
That's me giving a rather premature thumbs-up there in the middle of the crossing; I had no idea what was coming for the rest of the day! And the other guy crossing the stream wasn't even in the race; he was (of his own volition) just out for a ride on his singlespeed! You've got to love the folks who come to Pisgah.
The stream crossings finally behind us, we took our soggy and frozen feet and slogged our way up another seemingly endless gravel fire road to the first rest stop of the day. My DeFeet Wool Blaze Socks were trying their hardest to keep me warm, but there are limits to the wonders of wool! At the rest stop the ever-friendly volunteers refilled our Camelbaks as we tried (in vain) to warm ourselves by the fire (yes, they had fire pits at the rest stops too). It was here that we heard the first rumblings of what the weather had in store for us. But we wrenched our tingling feet from the fireside and pressed on to Laurel Mountain.
The trail started out fine, but then started to tilt skyward. Chris still had the legs to climb, but I was soon off the bike and pushing/pulling/dragging my bike up the trail. Then it started to get cold and the clouds rolled in around us. What started out as sleet soon turned over to, yes, snow! As we trudged upward, a springy grey-haired guy came bounding down the trail in running shoes and shorts (seriously, the really short kind) and off-handedly said "It's really snowing at the top." Great. Here I am pushing up what felt like a near vertical wall:
Once we finally made it to the top of the hike-a-bike section, it was actually quite beautiful with the dark trail arcing away through the freshly snow-covered forest:
Luckily we both also brought along our packable Performance Cyclone Jackets as we were searching for as many layers as we could find as we rolled over the top of the mountain in the snow. Of course, it probably would have made more sense had I brought along some leg warmers:
We made it through the snow, to be rewarded with the famed Pilot Rock downhill. Weather conditions improved as we hit the switchbacks down the mountain, but the trail was still epic. High speed descents were punctuated by sketchy, rocky hairpin turns, all with sharp cliff drop-offs on one side (along with some stunning vistas). Near the bottom of the descent we started to hear cowbells and screaming, and soon enough we came upon this crazy bunch of locals that had set up camp by a nasty rock strewn stretch of trail:
Chris made it through unscathed, but as soon as he passed by he heard the crowd go "Ooooh!" in unison. The cause of the exclamation; yours truly taking a sweet headfirst, bike-flipping dive into the rocks. Relatively unharmed, I collected my bike and got riding again with the exhortations of the crowd ringing in my ears.
At the next aid station Chris loaned me his ridiculously blue leg warmers (that's what teammates are for!) that he had fortunately sent ahead to this rest stop (another nice perk of the race). After a loooong fire road stretch, it was back into the woods, on steep singletrack leading to the Avery Creek Trail. Chris was still climbing away while I was just trying to survive. Another rocky, rooty descent and then it was time to climb yet again. Up and up on the fire road leading to Black Mountain we climbed; Chris throttled back so I didn't get separated from him (since if we finished more than 5 minutes apart they would add an hour penalty to our time, plus he's a good teammate).
We were relieved that at the top of the road we only had to suffer through a short section of "The Miserableness" from the day before ; the hike-a-bike section was merely unpleasant this day. The descent off Black Mountain couldn't have come soon enough for me, and I just held on and let the GT Marathon bail me out on the way down. We finally crossed the finish line, a mere 7 hours and 15 minutes after we started (in case you're wondering, this day covered 44 miles with 9500 feet of climbing):
After a quick pit stop to get cleaned up, we came back for the best part of the day, free beer from New Belgium Brewery and a free 30 minutes of massage (oh, pity the plight of the mountain bike stage racer)! Honestly we needed this after the day's stage, plus I got the perfect spot on the massage table right in front of the heater. Here's Chris looking mellow after his massage:
We grabbed a pizza in town and headed back to the campsite to eat by a roaring fire. We tried in vain to dry out our sopping clothes by hanging them inside the GT tent, but this was pretty much a lost cause since the air was just damp at all times:
Finally we just gave up and tried roasting our wet duds by the fire. Here's Chris trying to dry out himself and his workhorse Shimano SH-M086L MTB Shoes with a crackling fire:
With word of a freeze advisory overnight, we packed up our gear for the next day and stumbled into our tents. 3 grueling days down, and 1 more to go.

ECCHS AP Chemistry students take part in symposium
After her AP Chemistry students began working on research projects last fall, Elk County Catholic High School AP Chemistry instructor Dr. Shawn Millinder realized that their topics would make great poster titles. She decided to hold a symposium and invited a number of individuals from area businesses and organizations who might be interested, and gave the students the option of presenting their research or having a poster on display. "Symposium means meeting. It's just a meeting," Millinder explained. "It's an opportunity for the students to just show what types of things they're doing in their classes to get feedback from people in the community. Then, by interacting with them, they learn presentation skills that they normally don't have access to in the classroom."

My pullet has been laying for a month now and I've just had her on a 3 day course of doxycycline because one of my flock fell ill and I thought they should have a dose as well. Anyway, while she was on the course and 72 hours after she had finished her course I threw her eggs away but she laid yesterday and I fried the egg last night. The yoke was lovely but the white of the egg was very powdery/ bitty. My hens I had five years ago went like that and never changed, so is it something I am feeding them. They have there layers crumble constantly, mealworms after she has laid an egg then at night they have a few par cooked veg and corn on the cob. They have access to cabbage,spinach, and I always go and pick grass from my front garden and cut it up for them.
Pullets egg tastes weird

In one of the most inappropriate moves in memory ... Lindsay Lohan's new lawyer tried to get the judge in her criminal case to read a letter in which he claims he and the prosecutor are working as a team to "fix" Lindsay.
TMZ broke the story ... attorney Mark Heller attached a letter he wrote to the Santa Monica and L.A. City Attorneys to legal docs he filed with the court. Sources connected with the prosecution tell us the letter pissed the judge off because it looks like an attempt to improperly influence the court.
In the letter, Heller writes to prosecutors Terry White and Spencer Hart ... "... we, as a team, [can] help 'fix' Lindsay Lohan."
Heller goes on to blame Lindsay's troubles on her dysfunctional family, claiming you can't judge her "without considering the pain, torment and confusion which Lindsay has experienced and has been afflicted with."
Heller tries to steer the prosecutor -- and realistically the judge as well -- away from jail time, saying, "Lindsay will gladly be participating in intensive psychotherapy, submitting herself to regular screenings and contributing her time to the production of public service messages." He also offers up Lindsay to speak at schools, hospitals and other venues "where she may provide inspirational talks."
And get this ... Heller says he's exploring the creation of a Lindsay Lohan foundation that will provide a non-profit program to benefit young people.
Heller doesn't say how it will be funded.

A Revolutionary New Way to Fight HIV/AIDS: CCR5 Inhibitors
September 2008
From The Body
It's an exciting time in the world of HIV treatment. There are more HIV medications available now than ever before. The new generation of medications, ushered in over the past several years, works better against HIV and seems to have gentler side effects than the meds of the 1990s. But with so many new medications to choose from, getting to know the good and bad points of each can be a challenge.
Take, for instance, a completely new family of HIV medications known as CCR5 inhibitors or CCR5 antagonists. CCR5 inhibitors burst onto the scene in 2007, when the first CCR5 inhibitor, Selzentry (maraviroc, Celsentri), was approved in the United States. With Selzentry's approval came a rush of questions from HIV-positive people and health care workers: How do CCR5 inhibitors work? Who should take them? How does a person know if a CCR5 inhibitor will help his or her viral load become undetectable? What are the side effects and other risks associated with them?
Fortunately, all of these questions have answers -- and in this article, you'll learn all you need to know about the basic ins and outs of CCR5 inhibitors.
What Makes CCR5 Inhibitors Unique
Most HIV drugs attack HIV head on. Like an army charging into the enemy, the typical HIV drug takes aim directly at HIV. However, with CCR5 inhibitors, we have a completely new breed of HIV medication. Instead of going on the attack, CCR5 inhibitors protect a person's immune system like a fortress. By attaching to the part of your CD4 cells that HIV targets, a CCR5 inhibitor raises the drawbridge and blocks HIV's entry into CD4 cells. (See "Lowdown on How the Different Types of HIV Medications Work.")
How CCR5 Inhibitors Block HIV
To better understand how CCR5 inhibitors work, let's review the basics about HIV. Once HIV gets into your body, it seeks out your CD4 cells and launches an attack. Its goal: to get inside these cells, take control and turn the cells into HIV factories, spitting out copy after copy of HIV. The CD4 cell that HIV has taken over will eventually die, and the new copies of HIV will go on to infect other CD4 cells.
Each type of HIV medication blocks HIV in a different way. Here you can see how each of the older classes of HIV drugs interferes with HIV's plans.
How does HIV get inside your CD4 cells? Scientists have discovered that HIV first grabs hold of a CD4 receptor, a tiny tentacle sticking out of the surface of the cell. (There are many CD4 receptors on a CD4 cell.) Next HIV reaches for a coreceptor, another arm that pokes out of the CD4 cell near the CD4 receptor. The coreceptor acts like a keyhole: Once HIV has released the lock, it's in.
In large studies of Selzentry, the medication appeared to do its job exactly as scientists had hoped: When Selzentry was used as part of a specially selected HIV treatment regimen in people whose tests predicted that they would respond to CCR5 inhibitors, Selzentry helped their CD4 count rise and their viral load, the amount of HIV in their blood, fall. (Later in this article, we'll talk more about how doctors can predict who Selzentry will work for.)

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today said the SummerWorks Program, funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, has so far provided jobs for 177 young people in the Lincoln area. The City received $408,803 for the program, which is employing low-income youth ages 14 to 24 at 81 sites in Lincoln as well as Lancaster and Saunders counties. (A list follows this release.)
This federal stimulus program is having a direct impact on these young people who are working and earning wages, some for the first time," Mayor Beutler said. "The positive effects of SummerWorks will continue for these young workers who now have job experience and a better understanding of workplace expectations. We also appreciate the extra help at a time when budgets for City agencies and other non-profits are tight.
Participants earn $7.25 an hour working at public and private non-profit organizations. The program began in May and was scheduled to run through September, but Dan Cain, Manager of Workforce Investment for the City Urban Development Department, said it will likely be extended.
City job sites included the Lincoln Commission on Human Rights (LCHR), Lincoln Fire and Rescue, Lincoln City Libraries, One Stop Employment Solutions (Urban Development Department), Parks and Recreation and Public Works and Utilities.
SummerWorks participant Keri Anderson said her experience at LCHR is helping her improve her phone, computer and presentation skills while helping people and helping end discrimination. "Working at the Lincoln Commission on Human Rights has been a wonderful and testing experience. This opportunity opened my eyes and improved my ability to be a better, harder worker," she said.
Cain said SummerWorks is helping to address a national problem - the 70 percent jobless rate for 16- to 24-year olds not attending school. Some of the young people employed by SummerWorks also participated in a "Strengths Quest" workshop. After the participants took the Clifton StrengthsFinder, Gallup gave a presentation on the Strengths Theory and facilitated activities that helped participants understand their particular strengths and how to apply those strengths to their career planning.SummerWorks Site List138KB

Here's some bad news: Eating raw cookie dough could make you sick
The holiday season has fully launched and, for many families, that doesn't just mean the start of holiday shopping or holiday decorating — it also means the start of holiday baking. Cakes, pies and, of course, festive cookies are likely all getting baked at homes throughout the state.
And when prepping those chocolate chip masterpieces or decorated sugar cookies, bakers big and small might be tempted to gobble up some raw dough. Well, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration strongly cautions again that. According to the FDA, eating raw dough or batter — whether it's for bread, cookies, pizza or tortillas — could cause serious foodborne illnesses.
In a news release, the FDA states that, in 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local officials, investigated an outbreak of infections that illustrated the dangers of eating raw dough. Dozens of people across the country were sickened by a strain of bacteria called Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O121.
The investigation found that raw dough eaten or handled by some of the patients was made with flour found in subsequent tests by the FDA to have the same bacterium that was making people sick. Ten million pounds of flour were recalled, including unbleached, all-purpose, and self-rising varieties.
Some of the recalled flours had been sold to restaurants that allow children to play with dough made from the raw flour while waiting for their meals. CDC advises restaurants not to give customers raw dough.
Though people have long known that the raw eggs in some doughs can be associated with the bacteria salmonella, the FDA claims that people seem less aware other potential risks, such as those associated with flour.
"Flour is derived from a grain that comes directly from the field and typically is not treated to kill bacteria," said Leslie Smoot, a senior advisor in the FDA's Office of Food Safety in a news release. So if an animal relieves itself in the field, bacteria from the resulting waste could contaminate the grain, which is then harvested and milled into flour.
There are steps taken during preparation of processed foods to kill the bacteria that cause infections, including boiling, baking, roasting, microwaving, and frying. But with raw dough, no kill step has been used.
There is some good news on this front — most commercially made brands of cookie dough ice cream use pasteurized eggs and treated flour, meaning they're typically safe. But the FDA said home cooks shouldn't try to make homemade cookie dough ice cream.
And don't make homemade cookie dough ice cream either. If that's your favorite flavor, buy commercially made products. Manufacturers should use ingredients that include treated flour and pasteurized eggs.
Symptoms for Shiga toxin-producing E. coli are diarrhea (often bloody) and abdominal cramps, although most people recover within a week. But some illnesses last longer and can be more severe, resulting in a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome. HUS can occur in people of any age, but is most common in young children under 5 years, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
Another thing to be aware of for parents with children in day care or kindergarten is the use of "play" clay that is homemade from raw dough. Even if they're not munching on the dough, children often put their hands in their mouth after handling the dough. Child care facilities and preschools should discourage the practice of playing with raw dough.
Here are a few more tips from the FDA for avoid flour-related illnesses:
Do not eat any raw cookie dough, cake mix, batter, or any other raw dough or batter product that is supposed to be cooked or baked.
Follow package directions for cooking products containing flour at proper temperatures and for specified times.
Wash hands, work surfaces, and utensils thoroughly after contact with flour and raw dough products.
Keep raw foods separate from other foods while preparing them to prevent any contamination that may be present from spreading. Be aware that flour may spread easily due to its powdery nature.
Follow label directions to chill products containing raw dough promptly after purchase until baked.

Blog Post Written By Nathan Leitner
They say that New York City is 'the city that never sleeps' and with the incredible turnout at the Coffee & Tea Festival NYC, I can certainly imagine why!!
This past weekend, I took my first trip to the Big Apple to engage with thousands of attendees at the festival. Here are some observations from my trip:
For a small-town boy in the big city, my first time was a wonderful experience highlighted by great people, great places, and especially great coffee! Thanks to all of those who helped coordinate the event and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

Today, thirty-eight members of Congress joined Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard in sending a letter to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Alejandro Mayorkas calling for the creation of a review process that would enable workers to effectively challenge E-Verify errors. Unfortunately, under the seriously flawed program, citizens and lawful immigrants currently have no way of challenging a final declaration of ineligibility to hold employment.
"Based on documented error rates, as many as 85,000 citizens and lawful immigrants may have lost their jobs last year because of E-Verify," said Rep. Roybal-Allard. "This is simply unacceptable at a time when so many are struggling to make ends meet. We owe it to workers to establish a simple, transparent process for fixing these mistakes. As it stands now, far from being a solution to our immigration challenges, E-Verify is simply another example of why our immigration system is so badly broken."
Immigrant advocates joined the congresswoman and her colleagues in demanding the creation of an official means for workers to correct meritless E-Verify decisions. "E-Verify is an error-prone program that denies job opportunities to tens of thousands of people, U.S. citizens and lawful immigrants alike, without any recourse," said Emily Tulli, policy attorney at the National Immigration Law Center. "Because of glitches in the government program, hardworking citizens and lawful immigrants are unfairly denied work and robbed of a way to provide for their families. Director Mayorkas should heed Congress' advice, ensure a fair review process, and remove this hurdle to employment."
Despite E-Verify's serious defects, House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith is currently championing a bill that would make the program mandatory for every employer in the nation, potentially imperiling millions of workers' livelihoods.
Please see the full text of the letter below.
May 1, 2012
Mr. Alejandro Mayorkas
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
20 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Suite 5110
Washington, DC 20529
Dear Director Mayorkas:
Under your leadership, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has taken meaningful steps to expand protections for employees under the E-Verify program. However, in these trying economic times, additional reforms are urgently needed to prevent citizens and lawful immigrants from being unjustly barred from their jobs. Specifically, recognizing the significant impact of wrongful determinations on workers and their families, we write to urge you to establish an administrative review process that would enable individuals to contest erroneous Final Non-Confirmations (FNCs).
As you know, since 2008, use of E-Verify has dramatically expanded nationwide. Approximately 17.4 million people were processed in Fiscal Year 2011 and every week roughly 1,000 new employers enroll in the program. In addition, most federal contractors are now required to check the work-eligibility of new hires using E-Verify and, following the Supreme Court's Whiting decision earlier this term, more states are likely to mandate the use of E-Verify in the coming year.
However, despite the program's rapid growth, E-Verify remains seriously flawed. According to a 2009 Westat study and USCIS data, 0.5 percent of all Final Non-Confirmations are issued erroneously. While this error rate might appear insignificant, under current law, employers are required to dismiss any worker who receives an FNC. With 17 million E-Verify queries in FY 2011, this means that as many as 85,000 people may have lost their jobs in a struggling economy because of the program's deficiencies. Even more troublingly, in states where participation in E-Verify is mandatory, an erroneous FNC will likely serve as a total bar to obtaining employment.
Moreover, the program's defects have disproportionately affected minority communities. E-Verify error rates are thirty times higher for naturalized U.S. citizens and fifty times higher for legal non-immigrants than for native-born U.S. citizens. This means that foreign-born workers--who already face higher unemployment rates than the general population--are more likely to be locked out of jobs than their native counterparts.
In light of these disturbing figures, we believe a fair process should exist for authorized workers to effectively challenge wrongful work-eligibility determinations. Unfortunately, as your agency has publicly acknowledged, USCIS currently lacks any official means for individuals to correct an inaccurate FNC.
Thankfully, on February 13th, your Verification Division and Office of Public Engagement held discussions with key stakeholders about how this shortcoming could be rectified. We strongly urge you to build on this important first step by moving swiftly to establish a transparent review process that would enable authorized individuals to overturn FNC's issued in error. Doing so is critical--particularly for low-income citizens unfairly harmed by E-Verify--and would address one of the program's most significant weaknesses. It would also reaffirm your commitment to upholding workers' rights and your agency's determination, as stated in its Core Values, to "always strive for the highest level of integrity."

Yesterday's announcement that a Blackhawk helicopter crash in Southern Afghanistan killed 11 people made my heart quicken and stutter, just like it always does. Even though my husband was piloting a commercial flight somewhere over Japan, I still lost a moment in the gap between irrational fear and reality. As I read the details, I wondered if that feeling would ever really go away.
I thought about the day in 2010 when a helicopter crash in the same region killed nine coalition troops just a few days after my husband left for the desert. My reaction that day, at the outset of our year-long deployment, was to make a pact with myself to avoid the news completely.
Then I recalled that day in 2011 almost one year later when a Chinook helicopter crash marked what is still the biggest single loss of U.S. Special Operations personnel in history. My husband was still deployed, and though my initial distress flicker was the same, my reaction was very different. I slammed my coffee cup on the kitchen counter just before being overtaken by a wave of helplessness that caused me to sob into my own sweaty hands.
But yesterday, after the sadness for the families sank in, I debated the ratio of what was asked as compared to what was gained, and found that it was too unbalanced for my liking. Perhaps the time since my husband returned dampened my patriotism for a moment. Maybe knowing he was is in a position of relative safety changed my intermittent perspective. Either way, I didn't feel as grateful as I had been before, during the deployment. I felt lost and distant.
I tapped the virtual world for help. This war has dragged on so long that I wasn't even sure where news like this stood, anymore. Americans have become numb to the repeat stories of maimed veterans and fatherless children and unemployed heroes. I knew people were passionate about Chick-fil-A, Paul Ryan's ability to both polarize and motivate voters, and Prince Phillip's bladder infection. But I wasn't sure whether this horrible war news was even on the rest of the world's radar. I wasn't sure whether war was personal any more.
I chose to share that moment on Twitter, plinking out my thoughts in 180 characters. It was worthy of so many more, but I just wasn't sure what to say about it. The only reply came from a member of the media I know and respect who covers military-related issues, and who knows the depth of military family struggle and sacrifice:
There were no more messages after that – from anyone. I sat staring at my response for a while. I ran through scenarios in my mind. What other experiences might compare? Which situations cause that same constricting wheeze in my lungs, that same vein-gurgling pop and flush that surges through me whenever there is breaking war news? I wanted to find the non-military version. I wanted to give it a label or a feeling or an understanding. I wanted the gap between me and "the civilian world" to be infinitesimally smaller.
The problem with statements like "I don't know how you do it" and "I can't even imagine" and "those of us in the civilian world" is that they begin with the assumption that we are somehow intrinsically different. We aren't. You've had this feeling that we talk about – fear of "the knock." You've experienced it through a combination of events:
It's partly the feeling you have in that moment that you've seen a human body damaged in an unnatural way. It's partly the confusion you get when you first hear a serious diagnosis for someone very close. It's partly the guilt of being thankful for your own child's health when another is dying. It's partly the moment of relief when a group of friends rally around you to help you dump a boyfriend or study for your hardest final or talk you through an upcoming biopsy. It's all of these at once; a swirl of the uncomfortable and unpredictable that is completely out of your control together with an undampened human rationalization commonly labeled "hope." And it involves life and death. It is such a strong imprint that once you feel it, similar news becomes the trigger for the same series of physical and emotional responses. The feeling doesn't change just because you've anticipated it, or considered it, or talked about it. It's new and yet familiar each time.
This time, I don't want to cry or ignore the news or slam my coffee cup onto the counter. Instead, I want to do something; I want to say something. I want to find a way to make this news familiar and sticky, not slick and cold. I'm exhausted by what stands between those who say they could never understand and those who think their experiences are too unique to be understood. The so-called "military-civilian divide" is my responsibility. Not the media's. Not Hollywood's.
It's mine.

UH Physicists Discover New Sub-Atomic Particle
X(3872) paticle does not easily fit into any known schemeUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Kristen Cabral, (808) 956-5039
Public Information Officer
University of Hawai'i at Mānoa physicists recently reported the discovery of a new and unusual elementary particle. This particle, which they have dubbed the X(3872), weighs about the same as a single atom of helium and exists for only about one billionth of a trillionth of a second before it decays to other longer-lived more familiar particles. Although extremely short-lived by human standards, this is nearly an eternity for an elementary particle of this kind.
The new particle was discovered by UH Mānoa Professor of Physics and Astronomy Stephen Olsen and Gyeongsang University (Korea) Professor Sookyung Choi among the decay products of the so-called beauty meson that is produced in large numbers at KEKB, a huge "atom smasher" at the High Energy Accelerator Research Laboratory in Tsukuba Science City, Japan.
"The discovery is very exciting because there are some indications that the X(3872) may be the first example of a new type of sub-atomic particle, one where two more ordinary particles attach to each other similar to the way atoms stick together to form molecules," said Olsen. "If so, this is the first glimpse of a whole new realm of sub-atomic physics, with many new particles to discover and understand."
Particles produced at KEKB are studied at the Belle Detector, a complex assortment of highly sensitive radiation detectors located inside of a very large super-conducting electromagnet. Faculty and students from UH Mānoa regularly participate in an
international consortium of researchers from 11 different countries that collaborated on the construction and operation of the Belle Detector. They also take turns helping to operate the equipment which runs continuously with only a short summer break for improvements. The device took nearly ten years to design and build and has been operating since 1999. Olsen and UH Mānoa Professor of Physics and Astronomy Thomas Browder are leaders of the Belle team.
"Like a giant telescope with unprecedented light gathering power that allows astronomers to peer further and further into the cosmos, the Belle Detector and the KEKB accelerator have enabled us to penetrate previously hidden aspects of nature at the smallest sub-atomic scales," said Browder. "As is often the case when the full power of a new experimental instrument is harnessed, big surprises are found. The discovery of the X(3872) particle is a good example of this."
There are hundreds of elementary particles and the discovery of a new one is not unusual. However, the X(3872) particle is peculiar in that it does not easily fit into any known particle scheme. Olsen and Browder initially thought the new particle was a member of the charmonium family of particles, which are comprised of a charmed-quark and an anticharmed-quark held together by the "color" force, the most powerful force in nature. Many different charmonium particles have been found and their properties reflect the many different ways that these charmed-quark anticharmed-quark combinations can be accomplished. However, theoretical expectations for all possible charmonium particles are very well formulated and the mass and other features of the X(3872) do not match well to any of them.
Olsen continued by saying "Theory predicts there are some charmonium particles that exist but have still not been discovered. So, as part of the Belle experiment, every time there is a new set of data, we search through it for signs of these missing states. When we first saw the X(3872), we expected it was one of the undiscovered charmonium particles but upon further examination we discovered it to be much different from expectations."
Olsen also emphasized that the decay patterns don't match expectations forcing them to conclude that either the theory of the color force, which is considered to be especially reliable when applied to charmonium, needed drastic modification, or the X(3872) was an entirely new type of particle. Thus, the particle was named X because Olsen and Browder could not confirm what it was.
The UH Mānoa discovery was recently confirmed by researchers with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, home of the Tevatron, the world's largest "atom smasher." There, the X(3872) is referred to as the "mystery meson." As a result, this new particle has attracted a considerable amount of attention from particle physicists around the world as well as the scientific media.
The discovery is described in a report that will be published in the December issue of Physical Review Letters, the world's most prestigious journal for physics research.

Oh Look, My Friend Is Reading About Vibrators. Thanks Facebook!
If you don't already block "social news apps" from illustrious organizations like the Washington Post, Yahoo, and The Guardian on Facebook, maybe this incident will change your mind. Facebook seems very keen for Jake to know that his female friend is reading about vibrators, but Jake would really rather not know. Really. He wouldn't.
The applications let users share stories easily and within a special Facebook ecosystem of news. The flaw is that when you're reading material from each site through Facebook, every article you read is broadcast on the live feed of all of your Facebook friends. That's how Jake saw this message:
I logged onto Facebook and first thing in my newsfeed is that my friend happened to be reading about vibrators. I already think this feature is annoying, now it seems to be getting very TMI.
Don't want your reading habits broadcast to everyone you know, or don't want to know every article your friends read or Spotify song they listen to? This article is a handy guide to eliminating social news apps from your life.
