Checkmate: Tesla's Elon Musk Provides Driving Logs from NYT's "Peculiar" Model S Trip

The driving logs disprove many of Broder's claims
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has fulfilled his promise to provide the driving logs from
the recent Model S test drive
The New York Times
-- and it looks like John Broder has some explaining to do.
Broder, the NYT staff writer that took a Tesla Model S for a test trip up the east coast this winter, published a final article that
details a failed trip and the many troubles the car gave him along the way.
However, Musk became suspicious of Broder's claims when so many other journalists had made similar or more tasking trips in the Model S.
"To date, hundreds of journalists have test driven the Model S in every scenario you can imagine," said Musk. "The car has been driven through Death Valley (the hottest place on Earth) in the middle of summer and on a track of pure ice in a Minnesota winter. It has traveled over 600 miles in a day from the snowcapped peaks of Tahoe to Los Angeles, which made the very first use of the Supercharger network, and moreover by no lesser person than another reporter from
The New York Times
. Yet, somehow John Broder 'discovered' a problem and was unavoidably left stranded on the road. Or was he?"
Musk dug up
the driving logs from Broder's trip
, and earlier this week, he said he would share these discoveries after claiming that Broder had "faked" his article. Now, Musk has come equipped with the goods and it's not looking good for Broder.
Musk first addressed Broder's claim that the Model S ran completely out of energy and required a flatbed truck to tow it in Connecticut. Musk said the car never, at any time, ran out of energy.
Broder's article also mentioned that the Model S fell short of its projected range "on the final leg" of the trip, which was 61 miles total. On his final charge before embarking on this last leg of 61 miles, the logs show that Broder disconnected the charge cable when the range display showed only 32 miles. However, despite not fully charging the car, it managed to travel 51 miles -- and still wasn't completely out of charge when the flatbed truck was called for a tow. Also, during that last leg of the trip, Broder drive right past another charging station where he could have given the Model S another boost. But Musk said Broder "constructed a no-win scenario for any vehicle, electric or gasoline."
Musk also said that Broder never set the cruise control to 54 MPH or drove at 45 MPH, as stated in the article. Instead, he drove at speeds of 65-81 MPH for a majority of the trip.
He also had the cabin temperature at 72 degrees, and when he mentioned turning it down in the article, he had actually turned it up to 74 degrees.
Musk further noted that Broder's charge time on the second stop was 47 minutes, and not 58 minutes as stated in the article's graphic. If Broder didn't turn off the Supercharger at 47 minutes and went for the full 58, it would have been "virtually impossible" for him to run out of energy so quickly.
Speaking of charging, the driving logs also showed that Broder recharged the car to 90 percent on his first stop, to 72 percent on the second Supercharge and to 28 percent on the last leg -- signficantly cutting charging times at each stop.
Finally, Musk's driving logs from the Model S show that Broder had taken a long detour in Manhattan, and upon reaching Milford, Connecticut (where the range display said 0 miles), he drove the car in circles in a for over a half mile in a tiny parking lot. The Model S wouldn't give in and die, so Broder finally took it to the charging station.
Musk added that Broder was biased against electric vehicles from the start, and had set out to make the Model S fail before even receiving the car.
"When the facts didn't suit his opinion, he simply changed the facts," said Musk. "Our request of
The New York Times
is simple and fair: please investigate this article and determine the truth. You are a news organization where that principle is of paramount importance and what is at stake for sustainable transport is simply too important to the world to ignore."
Broder, who had his article published last week, was given a
Model S sedan
with an EPA rated 265-mile estimated range with an 85-kilowatt battery pack. He traveled from the
Washington area in Maryland to Norwich, Connecticut, with many stops in between including Newark, Delaware; New York City; Milford, Connecticut; Branford, Connecticut and Groton, Connecticut.
During his trip, Broder mentioned many instances where the battery suddenly depleted quickly and he had to call Tesla for assistance on how to maximize range between charging stops (which were about 200 miles apart from one another or less during the trip). He said he received different advice from different Tesla employees, and even bad advice from one that said to sit in the car for half an hour with the heat on a low setting in order to warm the battery after it depleted from an overnight stay in Groton. At one point, Broder said the car even needed to be towed in Branford because the battery drained much sooner than anticipated.
Let's see what Broder has to say now.

The Best of the Bond Girls: From Casino Royale to Spectre
Daniel Craig will be transforming into his suited-up secret agent alter ego for the fourth time in the latest James Bond installment, Spectre. But where would James Bond be without his girls? The new movie will include four Bond girls — Naomie Harris (returning from Skyfall), Léa Seydoux, Monica Bellucci, and Stephanie Sigman, who will be the first Bond girl from Mexico. The actresses have big shoes — and bikinis — to fill with iconic women starring as Bond girls before them.
The very first Bond girl, Linda Christian, played Valerie Mathis in the 1954 TV adaptation of Casino Royale before James Bond films hit the big screen. There have been countless Bond girls over the years, from Pussy Galore to Mary Goodnight to Strawberry Fields, and the most iconic 007 femme fatale would probably be bikini-clad Ursula Andress, who played Honey Ryder in the first James Bond film, Dr. No, in 1962. See the bodacious ladies who've wielded guns, showed off their assets, and bedded Bond for the last 50-plus years!

New to the forum so I thought I'd show my blind I've been hunting out of this season.
The boat started out as an old paddle boat I've used for years backwater fishing, cut the top half off of the boat to level it out for a shooting platform, added wood frame to boat and attached floor and handrail/sides, built rear entry door and rear motor mount. Covered with natural camouflage and have been hammering the ducks this season. Powered by either a 35lbs minkota 12v trolling motor or a 4.5hp outboard depending on what body of water we are on. I need to get an enclosed trailer for next season so I don't have to fix the camo every time we move boat. Hunts 3 ok and 2 very comfortably, 4 is do able but a bit crowded. Also light enough for me to load into truck and drag to the water solo easily.
The bottom of the reeds sit 1"below water level
Loaded up ready to go
Will get more pictures of the interior when I take it out of the wetland in a week or so

By Rob Kelly
Robin van Persie admits he has been pleasantly surprised by the speed of Arsenal's recovery this season.
The Gunners were struggling near the foot of the Premier League after a difficult start to the campaign but they have responded superbly to move into fifth spot by Christmas.
Van Persie has led the way with 16 goals in the top flight and even he has been shocked by the strength of Arsenal's response.
"Maybe a little bit," said the captain. "We had to get used to the new players [who signed at the end of August].
"I have to give lots of credit to Mikel Arteta, Per Mertesacker, Thomas Vermaelen and Yossi Benayoun - great characters, really helpful in every area. When I need assistance, they are always helping me.
"Mikel, for example, played seven years at Everton, two years at Rangers and you can tell he's an experienced player. Yossi is similar, Per Mertesacker has played close to 80 times for Germany. They have really helped me."
Despite his sensational run of goalscoring form, Van Persie says he feels no particular responsibility to maintain his strike rate.
"I just want to help my team, help them with assists and goals and good football," he said.
"In some games that means holding on to the ball when we are struggling. Football is more for me than scoring, it can give you more than goals.
"[Against Aston Villa] I gave a nice pass to Aaron, and I enjoy that as much as a goal. I just like to play football."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by BillLaimbeer, Jan 8, 2010.
- Yeah but where did that come from?
I think it was from a hallway. Just to relive old memories... Millen puts the ass in class.
Yeah, but with the amount of times the Lions' QBs were picked off, there's no excuse. Gotta make the tackle.
"From five consecutive drafts, I count only two unqualified successes: Andre' Goodman and Ernie Sims. And of course, neither is playing their trade in Detroit anymore." The Eagles would like to officially thank you for sending us Ernie Sims a couple of months ago. We will let you know how it turns out for us.
Hate to say it Darth...but the Eagles look about 7-9 to me this season. They'll at least trump the Lions woeful record this year.
Possibly. They are looking at the long term. They have mostly young players now, with lots of talent, including a quarterback with minimal experience that everyone is gushing about. Some people are saying they will be really good after this year, and others are saying they will be good right now. I am thinking there will be growing pangs this year. They have a pretty tough schedule. 7-9 might be about right, but don't be shocked if they do better. September 19th, BABY!
TaS, I remember that. But Millen traded him first thing. Course Millen thought he was a big shot coming in saying Batch was useless etc. Morton was a very productive reciever when he was traded.
Watch Lions linebacker Zack Follett's wild training video | detnews.com | The Detroit News This Lion's player still wants to pound the rock. Does this raise your confidence going into 2010-2011 ?
We just named a new ML, I don't think it was Zack. WoW ! I forgot how fun running around in the woods can be.
Good news for the Lions: Sources: Ndamukong Suh, Detroit Lions reach agreement on terms - ESPN
Is there any other sport where rookies miss preseason practices because of contract negotiations? It is unheard of for me. And isn't it better if he attends the practices during the negotiations so he is as prepared for the season as possible if he signs? This sounds like something that would be a good thing for both the player and the team and not something which would affect the contract negotiations. Or is it because of the physical nature of the sport so the player is afraid to get injured during practice and put the possible contract at risk?
No doubt. What if a guy were to have a career-ending injury the day before he was going to sign a $50 million contract?
Yeah, the obviousness occured to me as I was writing my post. And I guess things like no rookie limitations on contracts and very short average careers makes the rookie contract negotiation far more important than in other sports since it might be the only contract you ever sign so the players doesn't sign the first offer they get and this sentence is getting very long.
Irregardless, you're right.
Rookie contracts in the NFL are CRAZY. There's a good chance of a lockout next season and a rookie cap will be one of the major issues.
What if he gets injured the day after he signs the contract?
Then he rides off into the sunset set for life.... I think I'd let them have one live practice hitting me for 40 million dollars.
Most NFL contracts are not guaranteed, so players are left high and dry by the owners.
It also depends if the injury was football-related or not.
My salary isn't guarenteed either.

The personal computing pioneer shares stories and his life philosophies
Wednesday, January 22, 2014
On January 15, the Lesley University Boston Speakers Series presented one of the instigators of that revolution—Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak—an icon of the innovation that set a trajectory to transform the way humans work, communicate and live.
The ripple effects of Wozniak's inventions resonated during his lecture, held in Boston Symphony Hall. With rapid-fire recollections and stories, Wozniak conveyed his early love of gadgetry and electronics as a boy. That fascination evolved into an inexorable passion to create new technologies and build devices, starting with the Apple I and Apple II computers and eventually leading to a wealth of later inventions and refinements, such as the universal television remote control.
"I didn't set out to be a genius of electronic design. I just kept doing it and became very good at it," said Wozniak, who founded Apple with Steve Jobs in the 1970s. He credited "repetition, repetition, repetition" with their ultimate success.
Wozniak recalled that he was always in pursuit of using the fastest and fewest parts, and he was forced to be creative because he had very little money before Apple became a huge success.
"I got really good at thinking up unusual ways to use things … and using one part to do another job: double duty," he reflected. "I loved it, loved designing computers."
Wozniak said he wasn't a typical child and didn't fit in socially with the mainstream, but he was lucky enough to find friends who shared his interests, and he excelled in math and science. He described himself as "very shy" and awkward, and joked that he was grateful his last name started with a "W" so that he was always seated at the back of the class.
He discovered an acuity and deep love of math early on. "In math and science you always have an exact answer. What is truth?" he posed. "Math."
Before starting Apple, he got a job as an engineer for Hewlett Packard. There he worked on engineering the early handheld scientific calculator, which would cost $2,000 in today's dollars, he said. He worked on his own projects in all his spare time, and humorously painted himself as a straight-edge nerd amid the experimental California counterculture of the 1970s. This "nerdy" technical focus proved to be a productive juxtaposition of opposites with Steve Jobs, the savvy, driven entrepreneur of the pair who could sell anything.
"I had no chance for a girlfriend or wife. I watched 'Star Trek' and ate TV dinners, and I would design something just for fun," Wozniak recalled. "When I met Steve Jobs it was the days of the counterculture. He would walk around with bare feet eating seeds. I liked hanging out with" hippies, he said, but he was different.
And he credited Jobs's marketing prowess with their ultimate success.
"With me designing it, would it have gotten to the world without Steve Jobs? No!" he said. "I place good marketing above good engineering."
His talk revealed a mind that moves at warp speed, and some of the content was highly technical. But he also emanated optimism and revealed a playful side. He spoke of his love of jokes and pranks, and expressed his life philosophy as revolving around friends, fun and food – "the three F's" – and around never having regrets.
"Community, and people talking to each other, and sharing ideas – that's what makes people happy," he mused.He loves animals and talked about his work with his local humane society, as well as how he spoils his two aging dogs with thin strips of filet mignon.
Wozniak has long since shed the shy exterior of his youth and has become adept as a world-traveling raconteur. He even appeared on the popular television programs "Dancing with the Stars" and "The Big Bang Theory," which he referred to during his lecture.
"'Dancing,' boy did I regret that for a while," he said of the physically rigorous reality dance program. He confessed that before he was approached by "The Big Bang Theory," he had never seen the show, a popular sitcom that chronicles the lives of a group of geeky scientist friends living in California.
But now, Wozniak says he is a devoted fan of "The Big Bang Theory" and keeps all the episodes on his iPhone and takes notes on them.
A wide-ranging audience Q&A, moderated by Phil Redo, managing director of WGBH-FM, Lesley's media partner for the Boston Speakers Series, followed Wozniak's talk. Questions ran the gamut from his relationship with Jobs to whether technology will ultimately end humanity, to which Wozniak quipped, "They didn't tell me you were going to be in the audience, Isaac Asimov."
Wozniak said computers will never replace humans' ability to think logically and solve all types of problems. However, he added, "When you need an answer now, who do you go to? It starts with 'g-o,' and it's not for 'God,'" he said referring to Google.
He said that he and the late Jobs were "friends to the end."
"He was a great friend. We were so compatible. We loved the same things," said Wozniak.
Earlier in the day, before his talk at Symphony Hall, Wozniak visited Lesley's Brattle Campus and met with students, faculty and staff in the Washburn Hall auditorium for a brief lecture followed by a Q&A session where he was introduced by Assistant Professor Bob McGrath and student Nick Tuccinardi. Second to engineering, Wozniak said he was always drawn to the teaching profession and would have loved to teach as a career.
His lecture at Symphony Hall was sponsored by Plymouth Rock Assurance.

I have used the poly hives in the past and am considering getting a few more for my hobby sized operation.Has anybody had experience with them, the lower maintenance was what attracted me.
I have heard the people who make some of these hives down here around Melbourne talk and some people who are trying them out talk about them too. The feedback I heard from the person trying them out was that the bees from that hive are out much earlier in the morning than his other hives. Better insulation properties is them assumption. I'm not keen on them because they're 10 frame boxes and I'm an 8 frame keep.
I wouldn't have thought so given they fire up the evaporative cooler when it gets too hot. It may even help them more.

It would be nice if Red Jacket were to Build this!
This Krink kit is more than a parts kit to build a Krink with...this is a piece of World History! When Texas Reapresentative Charlie Wilson was helping the Mujihadeen fight the Soviets in the mid 1980's he was given various guns that he brought back to the USA. Being a member of congress has its advantages and the ATF allowed Wilson to own these machine guns and register them on a Form 10 (essentially a government owned gun). Charlie donated these guns to Texas A&M University at some point and there they remained undisplayed until the time of his recent death. At that time the University decided to have them destroyed even though they had been rendered inoperable by pouring epoxy into the barrels.
Charlie Wilson's Krink from Afghanistan! Krinkov : Gun Parts Kits at GunBroker.com
Probably the most significant weapon in American History second only to the Kennedy rifle. Amazing someone snagged this! Texas A&M are asking themselves how this slipped through there hands. Many cadets are very upset that the weapon was in a closet for years and they never knew the history of where the krink came from.

This needs to be on the show because of the historical significance and the patriotism of the AK of all AK's! Pictured with Charlie in Afghanistan. This weapon is first year production and is a highly prized battlefield pickup presented to Charlie.

How to recognize a toxic algal bloom, and keep you and your pet safe
The algal bloom that rendered Toledo's tap water temporarily undrinkable is alarming, but the phenomenon at work behind the crisis is not new.
Algal blooms occur in many lakes, including Lake Erie, suspected source of the problem for Toledo and some residents in Southeast Michigan, where 500,000 people were told over the weekend not to drink, cook or clean dishes with their water after routine testing found cyanobacteria in treated water. The ban was lifted early today when testing showed the water was safe.
Toxic algae blooms, called "blue-green algae," are a modern plague on freshwater and oceans, produced by the runoff of lawn and agricultural fertilizers, especially phosphorus and nitrogen, and also by pollution from livestock pens.
The runoff supercharges the water with nutrients, creating an unnatural amount of algae, capable of producing toxic cyanobacteria. The threat from this toxic bacteria borne by algae is worsening as climate change raises water temperatures, making lakes and ponds more susceptible to the phenomenon.
The continued use of chemical treatments for farmland and lawns also is spreading cyanobacteria blight, which recurs every summer in several hot spots around the US. Summer brings problems because bacteria thrive in warm water, but scientists have found recently that these dangerous bacteria can overwinter, below the ice, when there's adequate sunlight.
Water treatment normally keeps people safe from drinking the potentially fatal cyanobacteria. The problem in Toledo is believed to have arisen by an abnormally large algae population in Lake Erie that produced a burst of the bacteria.
But while water treatment facilities keep drinking water free of cyanobacteria the vast majority of the time. This crisis in Toledo reminds us that these organisms also present a danger via direct contact. People and pets need to be aware that when algae grows rampantly in water, turning lakes green and leaving a telltale scum on top, it is not safe.
You should not wade, swim, boat in or even linger around it. People have become ill just from boating or jet-skiing in affected waters, according to the US Centers for Disease Control.
And while we might intuitively keep our children and ourselves out of obviously polluted waters, many people have found out the hard way that their pets are particularly endangered.
Dogs at Risk
Dogs that take to the water can be sickened, and many have died. This Labrador dog, who played fetch in an infected Minnesota lake this summer, became seriously ill within hours of apparently ingesting the toxin.
Pets are especially at risk because they'll not hesitate to go into affected waters, and may drink from the lake or pond and ingest further algae by licking it off their fur. Their smaller body mass also makes them vulnerable, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
Not all algae is harmful, obviously. But the blue-green algae blooms induced by chemical pollution can be deadly when they contain cyanotoxins. Pets that fall ill from this class of bacteria exhibit symptoms similar to those that affect humans, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, disorientation, respiratory difficulties. Here, according to the CDC, ODH and other government sources, is what to watch for:
Watch out for these signs of trouble
- Some blooms can look like foam, scum, or mats on the surface of fresh water lakes and ponds.
- The blooms can be blue, bright green, brown, red or purplish, and may look like paint floating on the water. Some blooms may not affect the appearance of the water.
- Even though "blue-green algae" is the typical medium in which cyanobacteria grow, it's not possible to tell by looking whether a bloom contains the cyanobacteria. Tests are required. Even water recently cleared of the telltale algae may still contain toxic cyanobacteria.
- An infected lake may have a bad odor. The problem with this is that unaffected lakes also might not have such a keen smell.
What you can do
- If your pet is exposed to blue -green algae, you should rinse the animal off immediately.
- Call your veterinarian, ASAP. There is no antidote for this cyanobacteria-induced illness. But, depending on the exposure, a veterinarian may be able to intervene. In some types of cyanobacterial infections, oxygen may provide support to enable recovery.
- In the case of human exposure, head to the nearest Emergency Room. Powdered charcoal is one possible treatment for absorbing the toxins, according to the CDC.
- Check with your state health or parks department about lakes where you recreate. Many states keep a list of lakes known to be affected by a toxic algal bloom.
- Report any musty smelling water to local authorities.
- If you want to be part of the larger solution, quit using synthetic fertilizers on your lawn, and go with organic. Organic fertilizers are not as soluble as the inorganic synthetics that wash off into sewers or directly into waterways.
- If you live on a lake, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation recommends that you reduce the use of phosphorus and nitrogen washing off into the lake by "limiting lawn fertilization, maintaining septic tanks and shoreline buffers, reducing erosion and stormwater runoff, and maintaining water movement."

text: Menshov Snubbed for World Figure Skating Champs http://en.rsport.ru/other_sports/20130222/647071337.html MOSCOW, February 22 (R-Sport) - Russian figure skating star Konstantin Menshov has been denied a place at next month's world championships despite appearing to meet a prerequisite set by officials. Menshov, 29, was reportedly told he would have to put in a worthy performance at this week's Russian Cup Final to be considered for Russia's only place in the men's singles event at the March 11-17 championships in London, Ontario. Menshov, a former national champion, won the event in the Russian city of Tver outright, posting a better score than the man who is to take his place in Canada, Maxim Kovtun, at last month's European championships in Zagreb. The Figure Skating Federation of Russia justified the move by saying the 17-year-old Kovtun has a better chance of finishing in the top ten, which would grant Russia two entrants into the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic program. "In the opinion of experts and the executive committee of the (federation), Kovtun has better chances of getting into the top ten skaters in the world than the other national pretenders," the federation said in a website statement, adding other stars in Artur Gachinski and Sergei Voronov had also been considered.

Every: Vote for Obama – again
October 29, 2012
I continue to be absolutely gobsmacked by voters who think and talk like the SDN's resident curmudgeon – er, conservative – Mr. Liddick. Whether "swing voters" or dyed-in-the-trunks GOPers, their depiction of our president is not one I recognize in the least. Do they seriously believe that anyone brave or crazy enough to even want the job in 2008 could possibly have waved a magic wand over what was the brink of a second Great Depression, making everything all rosy again only four years later?! This thinking is absurd – time to turn off Fox "News" and dig out the history books, folks!
And let us not forget that their favorite party in CONgress (the opposite of PROgress?…) made its "number-one priority" (per Republican Senate Leader McConnell) the defeat of President Obama for a second term – all the while not governing in lieu of stalling, obstructing, and redefining a "majority" as 60 out of 100, to name just a few of their awesome achievements.
Some of these haters are just plain racist; others are so desperate for another conservative in office that, while some rightly dismissed the McCain-Palin ticket as a disaster-in-waiting, they are willing to hold their noses or their breath this time and hope that the inauthentic chameleon Romney won't do exactly what George W. Bush did: drive us off a cliff while he Goldman-Sucks up to 1 percent-Wall-Street fat cats and takes his marching orders from the same neocons who mired us in ten years of war-is-hell and resultant economic catastrophe.
Mr. Obama took out Osama, ended the Iraq debacle, rescued the auto industry, and improved the lives of women and people without healthcare. Jobs and houses are making a comeback. No president is perfect, but what more do these arrogant ingrates want, anyway? All of the items in Mr. Liddick's "countdown" can be attributed to both Wall Street greed and President Bush the younger, whose inability to lead brought us to economic collapse and a rush to war under false pretenses. If the electorate can give Bush four more years to complete the mess he made, surely Obama can be given a second term to finish his attempt at digging us out of it.
If you voted for President Obama in 2008, you must get off your campus or your couch on or by Nov. 6 and do so again. We are only now beginning to recover from narrowly averted disaster. Returning to failed leadership and policies of the pre-Obama decade may indeed sink us, just as we are finally coming up for air. Sincerely,

Design pattern is a well-known approach to solve some specific problems which each software developer comes across during his work. Design patterns capture higher-level constructs that commonly appear in programs. If you know how to implement the design pattern in one language, typically you will be able to port and use it in another object-oriented programming language.
The choice of implementation language affects the use of design patterns. Naturally, some languages are more applicable for certain tasks than others. Each language has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. In this book, we introduce some of the better known design patterns in Python. You will learn when and how to use the design patterns, and implement a real-world example which you can run and examine by yourself.
You will start with one of the most popular software architecture patterns which is the Model- View-Controller pattern. Then you will move on to learn about two creational design patterns which are Singleton and Factory, and two structural patterns which are Facade and Proxy. Finally, the book also explains three behavioural patterns which are Command, Observer, and Template.
This book takes a tutorial-based and user-friendly approach to covering Python design patterns. Its concise presentation means that in a short space of time, you will get a good introduction to various design patterns.
If you are an intermediate level Python user, this book is for you. Prior knowledge of Python programming is essential. Some knowledge of UML is also required to understand the UML diagrams which are used to describe some design patterns.

Comments about oreilly Learning Python Design Patterns:
The technical content of this book is probably very good. Unfortunately it seems to have been translated rather poorly and not proof read. I was able to understand it, but not tolerate reading for long because of the solecisms. The only friend I'd recommend it to is Russian.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Location: Environmental Microbial & Food Safety Laboratory
Project Number: 8042-32420-005-20-T
Project Type: Trust Fund Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Aug 15, 2011
End Date: Dec 30, 2015
ARS EMFSL will focus on the objective to determine the factors influencing bacterial attachment to leafy greens surfaces and internalization of E. coli 0157:H7.
Foodborne outbreaks due to microbial contamination of fresh produce have been increasing in recent years. This proposal addresses methods to prevent, detect, monitor, control, and respond to potential food safety hazards in the production and processing of specialty crops, including fresh produce. The goals target identification of routes of introduction; factors that influence persistence and survival of E. coli and S. enterica in leafy greens and melons from production to finished product preparation; and dissemination of information across the nation. The results obtained during this study will help in developing alternative technologies to enhance the safety of produce and to educate/train different sectors of the produce industry and different groups of consumers on food safety practices to avoid consumption of contaminated produce. Ultimately, it will help specialty crop industries recover and retain consumer confidence and reduce food safety risks. For the proposed project, ARS, EMFSL, will focus on part of objective (1) to determine the factors influencing bacterial attachment to leafy greens surfaces and internalization of E. coli O157:H7 while the cooperator will conduct research to address part of objectives 1, 2 and 3-6.

NHL Playoffs Weekend Betting Preview
One top seed for these NHL playoffs is one win away from advancing to its conference finals; the other top seed is one loss away from elimination.
One seven seed is one victory away from winning a second-straight series, while the other seven seed needs a victory to stay alive.
And the defending champs, who were given at best a slim of repeating, are one win away from advancing to the conference finals.
All of which should make for an interesting weekend of NHL Stanley Cup playoff betting for all the puckheads out there.
This weekend's icy action begins Friday night when the Pittsburgh Penguins, the top seed in the East and up three games to one, look to put the Ottawa Senators out of their misery when the teams meet for Game 5 at the CEC (7:30 pm ET).
Pittsburgh won the first two games of this series at home, lost Game 3 in Ottawa, then scored four times in the first half of the third period Wednesday night to win 7-3.
If the Senators can push this series to a Game 6 it will be played Sunday in Ottawa.
Saturday the other Eastern Conference semifinals series could be decided, as the fourth-seeded Boston Bruins, up three games to one, shoot to eliminate the sixth-seeded New York Rangers at the Beantown Garden (5:30 pm ET).
Boston took the first three games of this series, but New York staved off elimination with a 4-3 overtime victory Thursday night.
Also Saturday in the Western Conference the seventh-seeded Detroit Red Wings will look to finish off the top-seeded Chicago Blackhawks when the teams meet for their Game 5 at the United Center (8 pm ET).
Chicago won the opener of this series, but Detroit has won the last three games by a total score of 9-2.
Finally, in the other West semifinals series, the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings, who entered these playoffs as a five seed, will try to eliminate the sixth-seeded San Jose Sharks when the teams meet for their Game 6 Sunday at The Tank.
LA won the first two games of this series at home, before San Jose won the next two games on its home ice. The Kings then took a 3-2 series lead with a 3-0 victory at Staples Center Thursday night.
On the NHL futures betting market, Bodog is chalking the Penguins as 3/2 favorites to win the Stanley Cup, followed by the Kings at 7/2, the Bruins and Red Wings at 5/1, the Blackhawks at 10/1, the Sharks at 14/1, the Rangers at 40/1 and the Senators at 75/1.

Guess what? I live in Australia.
If you know me in real life or have taken the time to read my About Me page, you're probably all, "well duh."
But I have to remind myself of this fact all. the. time. Walking down my street is the best time for this.
For months it has smelled like vacation on my street. Ok, that sounds weird. But someone is always barbequing, I swear. And the scent of foreign plants and flowers reminds me of my first visit to this country. So sometimes when I'm walking home I like to take a deep breath and say gently to myself (in my head), "hey girl, you live here. That's kind of cool."
But despite people saying 'mate' all the time and other obvious and personal reminders, I still can't seem to fully internalize my location.
I know I'm to blame. My, ahem, voracious consumption of food blogs is a major factor. Many of my favorites are based in the US, or else in the Northern Hemisphere. I inevitably end up reading about a slow-braised meat dish here, and a roasted root vegetable there, and before I know it I am aching to turn on the oven for hours on a hot summer afternoon. Like a crazy person.
I must tell myself to wait…be patient…put these recipes on the list – or PIN them (btw, thank you Pinterest for making me a less frenzied recipe collector.)
One warming, cold-weather food I refuse to put on hold is hot cereal. I love the blank canvas that oatmeal or a multi-grain cereal gives me. Sweet, savory, seed-studded, cream-laced, peanut butter-topped, or with a big pile of fruit – I find it hard to tire of.
One of the many great things about Australia is the fresh fruits and vegetables. We have access to tropical-type produce that normally has to travel a long way to reach me in New York. But now, things like bananas grow only a state away. And passion fruit? If ever there were a nectar of the gods! For serious.
To keep me in check but satiate my need for a warm breakfast, I made a tropical version of my normal oats. I used light coconut milk, swapped oats for the more exotic-sounding quinoa, and topped it with kiwi, banana, toasted coconut and almonds.
The real key to making this "tropical" is the coconut milk with a little vanilla – it's just dreamy. The rest of the components can be negotiated based on where ever you happen to be in the world.
I like to combine a mixed-grain cereal (I like Bob's Red Mill 6-Grain Hot Cereal with flaxseed) with something more structured like traditional rolled oats or quinoa to add extra creaminess but still maintain a good texture. But you could make this using just one type of cereal or grain.
Tropical Breakfast Quinoa
Serves 2
– 1/2 cup quinoa
– 1/4 cup mixed grain cereal
– 1/2 cup coconut milk
– 1 1/2 cup water
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
– 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
– pinch of salt
Put quinoa, cereal, coconut milk, water and pinch of salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Stir in vanilla, honey, cinnamon and cover. Bring down to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add a little more coconut milk towards the end, if desired. Serve with the toppings of your choice. (Toasted coconut is highly recommended.)
To toast coconut: sprinkle a layer of coconut in a dry pan over a low heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and fragrant.
Garnish options:
– toasted coconut
– toasted almonds
– toasted cashews
– banana
– kiwi
– pineapple
– mango
– passion fruit pulp
– papaya
BOOM! Tropical up in here.

Today is a first for One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks. It is an honor to introduce a former student, Stephanie Hagar, who was nominated by her very proud grandmother, Lelia Rogers.
Stephanie lives in Cecilia with her husband, Tim, and three sons, Derek, Devin and Cade. Stephanie calls herself a stay-at-home working mom, as she has a nail salon in her home and says it is the best of both worlds.
Stephanie helped or watched both her parents and grandmothers in the kitchen growing up. Her mother made sure Stephanie and her sister could cook before they left home. Her dad, Bobby Sarver, also has been an influence in the kitchen as he, too, is an excellent cook, Stephanie said.
Stephanie added that I also was an influence in her senior year of high school. She shared that I taught her the proper way to make an omelet, and she quickly went home and demonstrated it to her mom. In addition to the omelets, she still enjoys the Chess Bars and Peanut Butter Cornflake Bars recipes she made in my class.
Stephanie cooks almost every night, and when you add stepson, Cody, his fiancee, Katrina, and grandbaby, Bentley, there are a lot of people around the table. Stephanie has dietary challenges in her meal planning, as her youngest son has a rare genetic disorder that doesn't allow him to break down fat and use it for energy. He needs a diet low in fat and high in carbohydrates and protein or his sugar will deplete quickly and the extra fat stores in organs such as the liver. Also, her husband is diabetic.
"I am no gourmet cook by any means. There is so much I have yet to learn," Stephanie said. "I love to see my family enjoying what I have prepared for them."
Congratulations, Stephanie. I am so proud of you.

Fear of Heeling
I came from a motorcycling background so fear of heeling was not a problem when I started out sailing.
It was the "gee we are taking a long time to get round this bloody corner!" syndrome I had to get over.
Fear of Heeling
I too have a fear of heeling. Don''t know that I will ever get over it. But I do cope. I was steering in about 15 - 20 knot winds when a gust of wind came and blew us over. My husband knew what was going to happen and never said or did anything to stop it. He wanted me to understand that the boat will come back up when the sail spills. I was almost standing on the side of the boat when it just popped back up. I do have a better understanding now but still have a fear of heeling. I am hoping that once we move aboard the boat and sail all the time that I will get over this feeling. I hate being afraid all the time and want to be a better sailor.
Fair winds and smooth sailing!!
Fear of Heeling
I have had this fear in the past as well, and with the understanding and assistance of folks I sail with, I have learned to get past it. Learning how adjustments on the main can ease heeling has made me far more confident about a boat heeling.
Add to that just plain spending as mich time as I can on as many different boats as I can, and I''m getting there. Did my first "almost" single-hand a few weeks ago. Captain was on board, but he just sat and watched. Did all the dock work and everything else on my own! It was just too cool!!!
Fear of Heeling
I used to think it was a girl thing, but last summer I had a newbie couple on the boat in a strong breeze. The harder the wind gusted, the harder she pulled on the tiller until the boat was near broaching. Meanwhile, her husband was cowering inside the cabin in near terror. I think it''s a "mental conditioning thing." Heeling will scare you if you are not conditioned to cope with it.
Fear of Heeling
Please don''t say it is a, "girl thing." When someone asks my husband, "How did you get your wife so enthused over the boat?" His reply is, "Its her boat." Yes indeed, it was my idea to sail. At first, heeling is uncomfortable for anyone, male or female. After a while though, you will trust your boat and you will know that it is a natural occurence especially in heavier wind. It will eventually make you smile and you will enjoy heeling. Just relax and let the wind and your boat carry you.
Fear of Heeling
Mary Beth said: "Unless, of course, there is the fear of the giant squid (hey, we all have our own ghosts)..."
I say if life hands you lemons, make lemonade. If life hands you a giant squid, make calamari marinara!
Fear of Heeling
Deb, yes, this does help, but - you can''t really picture that big bulb underneath unless you''ve seen it out of the water, no matter how much you trust the woman who describes it to you. And, you''re right, steering the boat can alleviate most fears. But if someone in your party is so uncomfortable as to feel the need to wear a life jacket on a clear, flat, calm day; best for all to wear one to make her feel even less unafraid. In my experience, when it starts out like that, on a nice, calm day, you all end up enjoying yourselves. Unless, of course, there is the fear of the giant squid (hey, we all have our own ghosts)... But, we got over that, and enjoyed many a sail after.
|Deb on Air
Fear of Heeling
A little understanding of ballast and sail control can help this situation. What helped me when I first learned to sail (and girlfriends that I have taken out to sail since) is learning that there is a keel with a significant amount of lead in it under the boat. This is not always easy to understand so a verbal description to help them visualize the "fin" underneath is helpful, as well as how many pounds of lead it contains. When I told my "most fearful friend" that there were 5000 pounds of lead underneath us it helped to quell her fears. Also, demonstrating to them how some adjustments on the mainsheet/traveler can help ease the situation... (involve them in these controls if they are willing and able) will give them confidence that the boat is not out of control. Of course the most obvious is to stay ashore in questionable weather and provide a life jacket option to those who are uncomfortable.
Fear of Heeling
Can''t help you much there; sorry. I have observed that fear is often irrational, and it is very difficult to logically convince someone that his/her fear is not justified.
When I got my wife into a situation she disliked (or feared), I often heard the familiar, "you owe me a BIG piece of jewlery for this, buddy!" Fortunately, she was only partially serious. I now tell her we can''t afford trinkets and worthless (i.e. non-boat) stuff so that I can afford to buy us a boat that will make her more comfortable.
Good luck helping your wife over her fears.
Fear of Heeling
Thanks for your advise. Thats about how it happened. I think the Powerboat wake hitting the deck also helped to push us over a bit more.
Myself and crew have already tried telling her about sailboat stability and how it would take a lot more than that to capsize, etc.
I was hoping for some input from female sailors as to what to say to her to ease her fears. I''m not being sexist, just trying to get another view. Just for the record, I have other female crew and they are all just as good if not better than their male counterparts (nothing they have said has helped either). I doesn''t help that I''m male and always say the wrong thing )
Happy Heeling,

Ehrn Watada is opposed to the war in Iraq and he adhered to his principles by refusing to report for deployment with his unit to a combat zone he believed was involved in the wrong war against the wrong enemy. He made clear his dislike of President Bush and the entire Iraq war fiasco. Watada regarded the war as illegal and to participate in it left him open to being subjected to war crime charges. A mistrial was declared in his first trial, and US District Judge Benjamin Settle told the US Army it could not retry the lieutenant because to do so would violate his fifth Amendment rights.
It is clear the Army is intent in finding some charge level against Watada because having a soldiers refuse to serve in an unjust war is rather unsettling for those who believe Iraq was the right war against the right enemy.
