NYT Reports Poor Tesla Model S Range in East Coast Trip; Elon Musk Fights Back with Driving Log

Musk said he'll publish the driving log soon
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is ready to take
The New York Times
head-on over a "fake" review of the auto company's
Model S sedan
John Broder, a staff writer at
The New York Times
, recently tested out Tesla's Model S sedan on a road trip along the east coast. However, Broder's final, published review spilled details of a failed trip and the many troubles the car gave him along the way.
The Model S sedan has an EPA rated
265-mile estimated range
with an 85-kilowatt battery pack. This was the model provided to Broder for his road trip, and while other Model S testers were able to achieve about 300 miles under perfect conditions, Broder reported that the east coast's cold winter temperatures had severely depleted his charge on multiple occasions -- and bad advice from Tesla employees along the way only made matters worse. The car even eventually had to be towed.

Broder's report, released just last week, detailed a trip 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, the car even needed to be towed in Branford because the battery drained much sooner than anticipated.
When Broder published the article about his trip, Musk posted the following tweet:
Musk investigated the accusations by referring to the diagnostic data logged into the car from the actual journey. He discovered that the report wasn't entirely accurate, citing the car's data that suggests Broder was driving too fast at times, took a detour that he never mentioned in the article, and didn't charge the car completely.
Musk accused Broder of not following the car's instructions, which he was briefed on before the trip.
The New York Times
claimed he did.
"Our reporter followed the instructions he was given in multiple conversations with Tesla personnel,"
The New York Times
said in a statement. "He described the entire drive in the story; there was no unreported detour. And he was never told to plug the car in overnight in cold weather, despite repeated contact with Tesla."
Musk said he would publish the driving log from the trip soon to prove that Broder lied in his report.
This isn't the first time Musk has gone after those who gave his company's vehicles poor reviews. In March 2011, Tesla's Roadster made an appearance on the UK car show
"Top Gear,"
where the car overheated, had brake issues and had a range of only 55 miles on track conditions. Tesla sued BBC for libel and malicious falsehood, but an English court threw it out stating that the estimated ranges are always affected by driving conditions and that there was no basis for libel claim.

Utah is in for a huge challenge on Wednesday night against Oregon State - literally.
Utah fans, meet Joe Burton, 6-foot-8 and 295 pounds of power forward. Yes, he's big. Yes, he's a beast in the paint.
But here's where it gets interesting: Burton is one of the most gifted passers in the Pac-12. He's also a good shooter, fast and nimble and a matchup problem.
Utah has length inside, but nowhere near the girth Burton presents. He's impressive in person and on film.
"If there's a better passer in the league, I want to see him," Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "I remember one play he had his arms down and his teammate was cutting through the paint. The defender knew what was coming and he still hits the guy for an easy basket. He's a talented player and a challenge for us."
The Utes figure to have Jordan Loveridge available for Wednesday. The freshman practiced Monday and doesn't look to have any ill-effects with the knee injury that kept him out of Saturday's game against Colorado. They will need him. He's the only guy who looks able to matchup with the player from Oregon State that plays like Big Baby Davis from the Orlando Magic.

Marilyn's Back: My Week With Marilyn
Oprah Winfrey
It's not quite "you get a car, you get a car, you get a car, everybody gets a car!" but when Oprah celebrated the 10th anniversary of her magazine, O, in June 2010, she showed that she still had some generosity left over. Each member of her staff (regardless of how long employed) received an iPad and a leather case embossed with his or her initials. Oh, and a check for $10,000.
Nicole Kidman
Nothing says thank you for giving birth to a child quite like an extravagant "push present." What makes Keith Urban's gift to Nicole Kidman so amazing—according to InTouch Weekly, she got a $120,000 emerald-and-diamond cross—is that she didn't even do the pushing. A surrogate delivered their daughter, Faith, in January.

IESF is Coming…
The next installment of Mentor Graphics' Integrated Electrical Solutions Forum (IESF) is scheduled for March 18 in Detroit, Michigan. We usually do two or three of these events each year in different cities around the United States. Topics vary a bit, depending on the location. Each event is chock-full of technical sessions.
The March 18 event focuses on automotive design and highlights development solutions for automotive systems. Despite a sluggish automotive market, car manufacturers continue to invest in design technology to help them develop complex systems. No surprise. You need only watch TV to see some of the cool cars on the market — cars based on 2 or 3 year old technology (takes about that long to get a new car from an idea on a computer screen to the showroom floor). As automotive technology advances, so does the need for advanced design tools in order to bring the new technologies to life. IESF events are perfect showcases for learning how Mentor Graphics' industry leading engineering tools help solve real world design problems.
Here are just a few of the topics scheduled for IESF in Detroit:
- Integrating electro-mechanical and control software
- Rules-driven electrical design
- Optimizing subsystem thermal characteristics
- Mechatronics design and simulation
- Virtual prototyping
- Electric and hybrid vehicle design
- Wire harness engineering
We also have several industry experts queued-up to share their insights and expertise on key automotive industry topics:
- John Antilla, operations program manager for systems and components at Chrysler. John will talk about the challenges of automotive electrical complexity from the OEM perspective.
- Dr. Guenter Reichart, guest scientist and lecturer at the Munich University of Applied Science, and one of the initiators and founders of AUTOSAR. Dr. Reichart will talk about the present and future challenges of adopting and implementing the AUTOSAR standard.
- Paul Hansen of the Hansen Report. Paul will share his insights on the latest trends in the global automotive electronics industry.
- Ron M. Wadood, wiring diagrams and electrical systems manager for Chrysler's dealer technical operations. Ron will address the challenges of delivering up-to-date wiring information to dealers, and present a live demonstration of how the industry's first dynamic wiring update system works.
- Ian Wright, co-founder of Tesla motors and founder of Wrightspeed, which builds range-extended electric vehicle drive systems for high fuel consumption vehicles. Ian will talk about how continuing advances in electric drive technology shifts transportation away from total dependence on oil.
So if you plan to be in the Detroit area on March 18, or if you live outside of The Motor City but need to find solutions for your automotive system designs, why not join us at IESF? Click here for more information about the March 18 event, and click here for a detailed event agenda and registration information. Register now and we'll save a seat for you…

- Past Meetings
"Choices" Theme Program at the 23rd Annual Convention of the Association for Psychological Science, Washington DC, May 25-29, 2011.
The "choices" theme program highlighted cutting-edge research in the domains of behavioral- and neuro-economics and the decision sciences, areas where the development of applications to aging-relevant themes has been strongly encouraged by BSR. This program increased BSR's visibility in the field of psychological sciences, particularly around the interface of psychology and economics, and attracted future investigators into the field of aging. (For more information, contact Drs. Lis Nielsen and Jonathan King, BSR, 301-402-4156.)
Roundtable on Psychology and Economics, Annual Convention of the Association for Psychological Science, Washington, D.C., May 26, 2011.
This NIA-supported exploratory meeting at the APS convention brought together leading researchers in behavioral and social research on decision making from the psychological and economic sciences to discuss potential areas of integration for advancing research on aging relevant themes. Discussion included possible behavior change and decision making interventions using economic and psychological integrative models. Discussants explored ideas of applying these models to retirement plans, financial decisions, diet behaviors, etc. for better health outcomes. (For more information, contact Drs. Lis Nielsen and Jonathan King, BSR, 301-402-4156.)
Single Cell Studies in Aging Research, May 26, 2011
New technologies are making it possible to probe gene expression, DNA integrity, protein damage, etc. in living cells with single molecule sensitivity in real-time. Many important proteins are expressed at extremely low levels, thus making them inaccessible by classical genomic and proteomic techniques. The single molecule sensitive reporter systems that have been developed open up possibilities for system wide characterization of the expression of these low copy number proteins. Similarly, latest generation DNA sequencing allows the analysis of single genomes, thus providing important information about cell-to-cell variability in genome stability, mutation frequency, etc. This level of analysis is important since individual cell biochemical composition may be diluted by the surrounding cells. By studying single cells at the molecular level it will be possible to obtain fingerprints of bioprocess from different cell types and disease states and to change the response to various challenges by altering the level of these biological processes in a predictable manner. The insights into the biology of single cells will have important implications for the study of tissue and organ homeostasis.
The exploratory meeting assembled the leaders in the field of single cell analysis, together with researchers from the aging community to discuss new, cutting-edge developments and techniques in this fast-moving area. The presentations were focused on probing genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and imaging in living cells. The workshop was held on May 26, 2011 in Bethesda, MD. (Contact Dr. Jose Velazquez, DAB, 301/496-6402).

Fifth Annual Division of Aging Biology New Investigators Forums ;June 21-22, 2011 & June 27-29, 2011
Purpose: Outreach
The purpose of this forum is to bring together new awardees of grants from DAB in the spring of the year following their award to encourage their continued success in this field by allowing them to get acquainted with us (NIA program staff) as well as network with each other. The new investigators make short presentations describing their planned work (or results to date) with an emphasis on how it relates to the area of aging research. The invitation letter includes the following language:
"Since you are being funded by the National Institute on Aging, we presume that your talk will clearly and explicitly demonstrate to us (and to the other forum participants) how your research is related to the area of aging."
Each meeting opened with a keynote address by an eminent aging researcher (Donna Murasko and Steve Helfand).
Owing to the large number of new investigators added to the DAB portfolio in FY 2010, the DAB NIF was divided into two parts this year; one part for R01 awardees and the other for K and F, small grant and post doc awardees.
Both workshops (Part 1 – R01s [June 21-22, 2011] and Part 2 – Ks & Fs [June 27-29, 2011]) were held in Bethesda, MD. (Contact Dr. David Finkelstein, DAB, 301/496-6402).
Osteoimmunology and Aging ;July 18, 2011
The Division of Aging Biology (DAB) sponsored an exploratory workshop in July to discuss recent findings in our understanding of immune regulation of bone cell differentiation. Osteoimmunology is an emerging field of research related to understanding the interactions between the immune and skeletal systems. The interactions between the immune system and bone involve direct cell to cell contacts between different cells of the immune system, bone marrow stromal cells and osteoclasts as well as effects mediated by the release of cytokines and chemokines by cells of the immune system. Chronic inflammation or immune activation has been demonstrated to influence osteoimmunology and produces metabolic, structural and functional changes in bone. Moreover, adipose tissue also has important effects on bone releasing factors such as adipokines that may influence bone homeostasis. Given the changes in the immune system that occur with aging which includes the development of a chronic inflammatory state, the interactions between the immune system and bone need to be addressed in the context of aging. In addition, a role for senescent T cells in the development of osteoporosis has been reported by multiple groups. ;In view of recent data indicating the increased complexity of endocrine regulation of both the immune system and bone remodeling, there is a basis for further investigating the age-related aspects of the mechanisms involved in mediating cross talk between these systems.
A one day workshop was held in July 18, 2011 in Bethesda, MD.

Workshop on New Directions in the Sociology, Social Demography and Social Epidemiology of Aging, Washington, DC—August 29-30, 2011.
This exploratory workshop, convened by the Committee on Population at the National Research Council, gathered a panel of experts to evaluate the recent contributions of social demography, social epidemiology and sociology to the study of aging and to identify promising new research directions in these sub-fields. The workshop emphasized key themes such as the intersection of biology and social sciences, new methods for describing or measuring social contexts, and new targets for interventions. A report will be issued. (For more information, please contact Dr. John Haaga, BSR, 301-496-3138.)
Workshop on Biospecimen Repositories for NIA Clinical Studies
DGCG and other NIA divisions are exploring strategies to enhance the status and use of biospecimen resources collected and stored by investigators of the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN) and other key clinical studies of aging funded by the NIA in order to broaden and facilitate new science on the aging processes. To advance this effort, an exploratory workshop: "Workshop on Biospecimen Repositories for NIA Clinical Studies" was convened on September 7, 2011 by DGCG in collaboration with DBSR and DN at Executive Plaza North (EPN), 6130 Executive Blvd, Rockville, Maryland to explore issues related to enhancing biospecimen management and utilization and developing mechanisms for long-term support. The overall objective of the meeting was to identify potential strategies to optimize the transparency and usefulness of some of NIA's important biospecimen collections as well as the accessibility of their data and biospecimen resources to investigators in the broader extramural community. (Contact Dr. Sherry Sherman, DGCG, 301-496-676 firstname.lastname@example.com)

The Role of Genetic and Environmental Factors Across the Life Course: Improving the Rigor of Causal Inference, Chicago IL – September 15-16, 2011.
There is an established consensus across several disciplines on the need to adopt a lifecourse perspective to understand the evolution of health and the aging process. The aim of this NIA-supported exploratory workshop was to bring together researchers at the frontier of their fields to integrate biological, econometric, genetic and medical approaches to advance our knowledge on the developmental origins of health and aging, and to set priorities for future research agendas. The focus of the workshop was to explore potential synergies and to combine insights from evolutionary biology and medicine, together with genetic analysis and rigorous econometric modeling, to understand the mechanisms through which genetic endowments and early life conditions affect the evolution of health across the lifecourse. The meeting also considered the importance of selection effects in estimating the causal role of social and biological factors relevant to aging. Particular emphasis was given to the analysis of interventions, and how to characterize heterogeneity in their effects as function of genetic endowments. (For more information contact Dr. Erica Spotts, 301-402-4156.)
Future Meetings
Genetics of the Health and Retirement Study I & II ; ;September 2011
I. Teleconference and commissioned papers on "Integrating Genetic Data into BSR: Follow-up to NAS Meeting on HRS and GWAS"
BSR has been advancing research in the area of gene-environment interplay. To that end, BSR sponsored an Expert Meeting at the National Academies of Science on September 23-24, 2010 entitled "Using Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) to Explore Fundamental questions About Aging in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) Sample." BSR is now planning a series of teleconferences among leading experts in the field to follow up on issues raised at this meeting. (For more information contact Dr. Erica Spotts, 301-402-4156.)
II. Teleconference on Population Genetics, September 2011.
It has long been recognized that the HRS will have a lot to offer the field of population genetics because it is a national probability sample with genetic data, the likes of which does not exist elsewhere in the US. This teleconference will bring together experts in the field, to discuss population genetics as it relates to the HRS and for future directions for BSR in general. (For more information contact Dr. Erica Spotts, 301-402-4156.)
"Outcome Measures for Older Persons with Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCC)" ; September 27-28, 2011
The purpose of this exploratory multi-disciplinary expert panel is to evaluate evidence and to assess effectiveness (and potentially safety) of treatment and prevention strategies for MCC patients, especially across differing treatment settings. The goal is to develop a core set of broad measures of health, function, and quality of life that could be used to characterize the status of older persons with a variety of combinations of conditions, and would be feasible to collect in clinical trials, surveys, and health care databases. Such measures would be useful for assessing and comparing the effectiveness and safety of new interventions and health care models for older patients with MCC. Agenda and participants are to be determined. (Contact Dr. Marcel E. Salive, DGCG, 301-435-3044 email@example.com.)
Burden of Alzheimer's Disease Teleconference, September 2011.
BSR is actively involved in the effort to fully understand and plan for the emerging costs of Alzheimer's Disease. These efforts include the development of better methods for identifying and quantifying the costs of AD using new data collection methods, better mining of administrative records, and the development of economic modeling tools based on new estimates and projections of disease prevalence. Several experts will review recent and ongoing research on cost projections and modeling of direct and indirect costs of AD and prepare a presentation to be delivered at the teleconference. (For more information contact Dr. Colin Baker, 301-496-3138.)

Do you give your toddler iron supplements?
The general advice given by my health visitor to babies over 1 year old is for them to start having iron supplements. However, the Baby Led Weaning book by Gill Rapley talks about why this is a decision each parent needs to make for their child (rather than just taking on the general medical advice) and, in most cases, adequate iron can still be gained from the diet. This is one reason why we currently have decided not to give my son iron supplements.
What are your views on iron supplements for toddlers? What did you decide for your toddler?
I look forward to finding out other 'gentle parenting' mums' views on this,

I am on baby 4 and have never given any of my children iron supplements. They test fine for iron and get everything they need from their diet.

Never gave any of my babies iron due to the concern that it constipates them. Never had a problem with any of my 5 children showing any signs of iron deficiency. Again, deep greens will help, so steam up some fresh spinach and then chop it up for him... or... green smoothies :-) And if you're getting an adequate supply in your diet, he will get some in your milk along with his food.
Warm Regards,

I have my oldest son on iron supplement since he was hospitalized due to amoebiasis and still taking it up to now. I remember that the doctor prescribed it because he had blood works and the result was marginal.

ODD-YSSEY: You've probably read or seen a performance of "The Odyssey," at least in the form of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" which had an eye-patched John Goodman playing the role of the Cyclops. The Cyclops is one of our favorite characters, along with the toothsome nymph Calypso, in Homer's epic poem.
The work has been done every which way over the last 3,000 years, though perhaps not with shadow puppets. We wouldn't attempt such a thing. If we did "The Odyssey" using shadow puppets, the entire cast would be ducks and alligators, which look almost exactly the same in our renderings.
Long Beach Playhouse is employing not only shadow puppets, but regular puppets and masks in its rendering of the poem from the Cyclops' limited point of view in "The Cyclops," which opens Saturday night at 8 at the playhouse at 5021 E. Anaheim St.
Though set back in around a thousand years B.C., the performers drag modern times into the play with latter-day references from songs and pop culture.
If it sounds like fun for the whole family, it's not. It's only fun for us sophisticated adults, warn the play-throwers.
Tickets are $24; $21 for seniors and $14 for students. subsequent performances are Fridays and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. through Nov. 10. Get tickets at www.lbplayhouse.org, or call 562-494-1014.
SECOND SATURDAY: Seems like every month we make a big deal about First Fridays in Bixby Knolls, but we make nary a squeak about Second Saturdays in the East Village. That changes now with this squeak: The Second Saturday Art Walk comes with live music and other performances on two stages, while the local galleries, shops, boutiques, restaurants and coffeehouses offer specials and stay up late.
The main draw is the art, with lots of paintings, photography, sculpture and crafts, plus hands-on workshops for adults and kids. It all happens from 4 to 10 p.m. between Ocean Boulevard and Broadway and Elm and Linden avenues.
HALLUMBUS DAY: Looking for something different? This is the differentest thing we've come across in awhile: Sea Witch Night, Saturday night at 8, is an early Halloween, late Columbus Day event with a lecture on ghostly phenomena presented by "Empire of Death" author Paul Koudounaris with a Gothic musical cabaret performance by Nora Keyes and additional music provided by Eric Schneider - so far only semidifferent - but it all takes place in a man-made cave built by artist Paul Wilkens in protest of Christopher Columbus' enslavement of Native Americans.
You'll find the Sea Witch Cave at 360 E. Third St. in the East Village. Go, and tell us what it was like.
ANIMAL WALK: The refreshingly relatively feline-free Pet Appreciation Fair & Walk for the Animals comes to El Dorado East Regional Park, 7550 Spring St. (near the archery range) from 9 a.m. till 3 p.m. Saturday.
It's a great day for you and your dog, or if you're a petless dog lover. There are a few scattered other species, but it's mostly a chance to take your pooch to the park for a nice 2K or 5K walk as well as watch a lot of dog performances, participate in contests (we were a judge last year and, trust us, if your dog can do anything at all, you've got a shot at winning something) and check out the latest in pet products along vendor row.
Check-in and registration for walkers and their loved ones begins at 9 a.m. with the walks starting at 10:15. The $30 buy-in benefits the fine work and programs of Friends of Long Beach Animals and includes a commemorative T-shirt, a swag bag, and a raffle ticket. Walkers under 9 (humans, we're talking about) get to walk free.
FRIDAY PLAYLIST: Here's something to listen to while walking around with your dog. We know, we forgot to put in your favorite dog song, like Lobos' "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo." We could do a 100-song playlist about dogs, but we're regulated by the government to just 10 songs (actually nine songs and one poem this week) on our playlist. We blame Bush.
1. "Gimme Back My Dog," Slobberbone
2. "Old Blue," Byrds
3. "Old Shep," Johnny Cash
4. "Old King," Neil Young
5. "Hound Dog," Elvis Presley
6. "Black Dog," Led Zeppelin
7. "Dog," Ben Folds
8. "My Dog and Me," John Hiatt
9. "The Puppy Song," Victoria Williams
10. "The Revenant," Billy Collins.

New Wheel Woes.....
Posted 05 April 2013 - 11:40 PM
First thought
place level on wheel and level as best as pos/bile with shims under legs.
Then with plumb bob, suspended independently above wheel check level ness which wheel turning.
Then check if wheel is centered by placing plumb bob at edge of wheel, this will Test centricity. At least you will know absolutely if its a wheel problem v. human error.
As bob said if latter is true it is still possible to center. Try centering with eyes closed and not touching bat or wheel.
Have you had someone else try and center and pull on your wheel?
Matrix quote
Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
Replace bend with center and spoon with clay....

Well, it isn't the set screw; we tightened everything up today, and it is better, but still the same problem? I did borrow a table top older wheel from a friend, and was able to get something centered on the first try on her old wheel. Granted the second attempt wasn't so good......but I have no idea what to do now....up a creek without a paddle. Granted, I am a little confused, I have seen these wheels on the internet for as little as $600; Georgies in Portland has them advertised for $980 or so...how can there be such a price difference?
the reason that there is a price difference is that ~930 is the msrp. their cost is probably 40% of that. It is not uncommon to sell goods well below the msrp to attract buyers and to try to sell volume to make up for the lack of margin (or to make your real money on accessories which, in retail, usually carry a higher margin.
Posted 06 April 2013 - 09:51 PM
I'd love to have a wheel that is slightly off center.
Dear Jim! For a reasonable price, I will off-center any pieces of clay for you even on a perfectly functioning and symmetrically centered wheel!

Basil is a cheerful polar bear and star of Sesame Park. Along with Dodi and Louis, Basil was one of the three original Canadian Muppets, beginning in the period when the program was simply known as "Canadian Sesame Street."
Despite his deep voice, Basil was originally the most child-like of the characters, having difficulty dressing himself, and the most curious. He struggled to learn French from his bilingual friend Louis. Basil starred in the Canadian Sesame Street special, Basil Hears a Noise, though he shared the spotlight with special guest Elmo.
He appeared in a pre-taped comedy sketch for the 2007 Gemini Awards, Canada's top television honour. The skit, which showed Basil simply playing a piano in a puppet retirement home, was controversial for its original characters and risque content.

"I'm extremely excited to welcome Jacoby to the Wolfpack family," said Doeren. "I've known him since he was a freshman in high school when I recruited him for Wisconsin. I think the world of him as a competitor in football and basketball and as a student who carries a 3.5 GPA. He is a very humble person who will do a tremendous job with our fans and will be a great ambassador for the NC State football program. I look forward to having him around our team.
"Jacoby is an NFL-style quarterback with a tremendous arm and great accuracy and he has some of the best hand-eye coordination I've ever seen. He has the ability to throw the ball deep, intermediate and short. He has great touch and arm strength."
A graduate of Dwyer High School, Brissett played in eight games as a true freshman for the Gators in 2011, starting a pair of contests. Last season, he saw action in five games and started one.
Brissett completed 23-of-35 passes for 249 yards and a TD in 2012 as a sophomore, posting a 134.90 efficiency rating. Against Louisiana, he came off the bench with UF trailing 20-13 in the third quarter, and led a pair of touchdown drives to secure the 27-20 win. He started the Gator's 23-0 victory over Jacksonville State, completing 14-of-22 passes for 154 yards.
As a true freshman, he got the starting nod against No. 1 LSU in Baton Rouge and then at No. 24 Auburn in back-to-back weeks. He was the first true freshman quarterback in Florida history to take his first career snap as the starter.
In high school, Brissett led Dwyer to its first state championship during his junior campaign. As a senior, he threw for 2,743 yards and an area-best 32 touchdowns with just one interception, while also rushing 63 times for 368 yards and seven scores.
Dwyer posted a 12-2 record and reached the state 4A semifinals that year and he was named the Palm Beach Post's Offensive Player of the Year and won the Lou Groza Palm Beach County High School Player of the Year award. He competed in the 2011 U.S. Army All-American Bowl and was ranked a four-star prospect by Rivals.com and Scout.com, as well as the No. 75 overall prospect and No. 3 quarterback in the nation.
Brissett has started spring semester classes at NC State and will go through spring practice with the Wolfpack.

AMES, Iowa – Today the Wellmark Foundation presented over $400,000 to three grant recipients in Central Iowa. The organizations were chosen out of 111 applicants to receive funding to implement initiatives encouraging healthy lifestyles through programs that will teach healthy behaviors to children and school and community gardens.
AMES, Iowa – Today the Wellmark Foundation presented over $400,000 to three grant recipients in Central Iowa. The organizations were chosen out of 111 applicants to receive funding to implement initiatives encouraging healthy lifestyles through programs that will teach healthy behaviors to children and school and community gardens.
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is one of four state cooperative extension services selected by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to work together to develop and run the USDA Food and Nutrition Service People's Garden School Pilot Program. The program will allow for gardening nutrition education with the goal of empowering youth in their communities and will help increase fruit and vegetable consumption in Iowa schools. Nearly 3,000 young people at 17 schools and 20 summer programs will start 130 edible gardens in the next two years.
"The Wellmark Foundation grant will allow us to expand the program to ensure that all students in the participating schools will be able to receive the same opportunities," said Janet Toering, 4-H Youth Program Specialist. "The funding will also help fund the project all year, including after-school programs."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. Fortunately, obesity is a health issue we can impact by personal choices and changes to our environment. In order to help Iowans prevent or control the devastating effects of this condition, Iowa State University is focused on creating and delivering experiential health education to immerse youth in an environment that fosters healthy behaviors.
"This program will help foster healthy environments through physical activity, culinary practices, gardening and other activities focused on nutrition, providing young Iowans with the skills and self-efficacy to transfer positive healthy behaviors to their home and community," said Ruth Litchfield, state nutrition extension specialist and ISU associate professor.
The Iowa Food Gardening Initiative offered through the Iowa Food Systems Council, will cultivate food security and improve health by encouraging more household, community, school and workplace gardens across Iowa. The core of the initiative is to impact change through integrated coordination, education, outreach, and research strategies within food and nutrition assistance programs.
"Through this statewide initiative, we are encouraging Iowans who are a part of federal food and nutrition assistance programs and emergency food assistance programs to engage in gardening activities," said Angie Tagtow, Iowa Food Systems Council Co-founder and Convener of the Food Access and Health Work Group. "Through the education, outreach and research this program allows, we will be able to create long-lasting changes in communities across Iowa."
The Wellmark Foundation is a non-profit foundation that seeks to improve the health of Iowans, South Dakotans and their communities. In Level II of the 2011 Healthy Communities Grant Program, the Foundation received over 111 letters of interest seeking support for community health projects. The Wellmark Foundation is proud to award a cumulative total of $408,420 to these three grant recipients to serve as catalyst funding for local health projects.
"We are pleased to offer these grants to organizations that will help promote healthy behaviors to communities and schools," says Matt McGarvey, director of the Wellmark Foundation. "Not only will this allow the opportunity to have more access to healthy foods and resources, but they collectively help educate Iowans of all ages the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle."

Rylie Martin and Luke Hemmings have been "best friends" since they were 5 years old. At the age of 15, there is a misunderstanding between the two, and Rylie loses all contact with Luke, despite her constant efforts. Two years since then, and everything has changed for Rylie.

BRONSON - When Renate Cannon asked if Levy County had discontinued its recycling trailer program, Landfill Director Benny Jerrels explained the situation during the March 4 County Commission meeting.
A problem with these trailers arises, Jerrels said, when people use them to dump household garbage there. When that happens, the trailers are removed from locations for a period of time or forever.
The recycle trailers have had tires stolen off of them and some people have even used them as a place to dump dead deer carcasses, Commission Chairman Sammy Yearty said.

BMW of North Haven, CT - TOP MARKS!
I can highly recommend this dealership for your BMW purchase. I've purchased three BMW's from the dealership, and in particular, my Sales Advisor, Basel Saad. My current car I was going to order, but I had a trade vehicle which the dealership received an offer for. The issue was that the offer was good for 10 days so if I had to order a car it would have taken about 6-8 weeks, and I would have been without a vehicle so I would have had to rent one. Basel said he would try to locate one. Finding a 335i M-Sport, xDrive, in Estoril Blue with my options was a tough call for such a popular model with limited inventory. Basel found a car, still on the ship in the Atlantic, which almost matched mine to spec... he was able to secure it, and I had it a few days after Sandy departed. Pricing was extremely aggressive and they matched the pricing I would have gotten using USAA's car buyer service. Well done!!
I had the car for about a week but I wanted the Auto/Start function changed so it would remember the last setting. Normally a simple change, but for whatever reason, it messed up the programming on the car badly and I could not pick up the car that day. I had a new X3 loaner which was nice, but the issue ended up taking days to resolve by BMW. FOr the trouble, the dealership got BMW to extended me a $500 accessory credit. Not bad for just not having the car a few days. The problem then continued and I was told the car would not be back to me for the weekend, (I had plans with the car so it was very disappointing). I would not have my new car for about a week now. While speaking with the Service Manager I asked how much the M Performance Exhaust would be. My thought was to just have them apply the $500 to it and install it while the car was sitting there. Even with the discount, installed, the option would be about $1100+ tax. Well, I said I would think about that, but, he could order me the black grills in the meantime. So today, Tuesday, I got a call and they told me they would be giving me the M perf. exhaust and installing it for me for the inconvenience... no charge. They will also put my black grills on for me too. WOW! These guys really went over the top to make me happy and show why they are as good as they are.
Even if you are not in right here in Central CT, if you are anywhere in the tri-state area, call these guys... ask for Basil, and buy from them. You will not be disappointed!!

Chronic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease)Hashimoto's thyroiditis; Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis; Autoimmune thyroiditis
Chronic thyroiditis is swelling (inflammation) of the thyroid gland that often results in reduced thyroid function (hypothyroidism).
Chronic thyroiditis or Hashimoto's disease is a common thyroid gland disorder. It can occur at any age, but is most often seen in middle-aged women. It is caused by a reaction of the immune system against the thyroid gland.
The disease begins slowly. It may take months or even years for the condition to be detected. Chronic thyroiditis is most common in women and in people with a family history of thyroid disease. It affects between 0.1% and 5% of all adults in Western countries.
Hashimoto's disease may, in rare cases, be related to other endocrine (hormonal) disorders caused by the immune system. Hashimoto's disease can occur with adrenal insufficiency and type 1 diabetes. In these cases, the condition is called type 2 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGA II).
Less commonly, Hashimoto's disease occurs as part of a condition called type 1 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGA I), along with:
- Adrenal insufficiency (poor function of the adrenal glands)
- Fungal infections of the mouth and nails
- Hypoparathyroidism (underactive parathyroid gland)
- Constipation
- Difficulty concentrating or thinking
- Dry skin
- Enlarged neck or presence of goiter
- Fatigue
- Hair loss
- Heavy and irregular periods
- Intolerance to cold
- Mild weight gain
- Small or shrunken thyroid gland (late in the disease)
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
Note: There may be no symptoms.
Exams and Tests
Laboratory tests to determine thyroid function include:
- Free T4 test
- Serum TSH
- Thyroid autoantibodies:
- Antithyroid peroxidase antibody
- Antithyroglobulin antibody
Imaging studies are generally not needed to diagnose Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
This disease may also change the results of the following tests:
- Complete blood count
- Serum prolactin
- Serum sodium
- Total cholesterol
A lack of thyroid hormone may develop. You may receive thyroid hormone replacement therapy (levothyroxine) if your body is not producing enough of the hormone. Or, you may receive it if you have signs of mild thyroid failure (such as elevated TSH). This condition is also known as subclinical hypothyroidism.
If there is no evidence of thyroid hormone deficiency, you may just need to be seen regularly by a health care provider.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome is usually very good. The disease stays stable for years. If it does slowly progress to thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism), it can be treated with thyroid replacement therapy.
Possible Complications
This condition can occur with other autoimmune disorders. In rare cases, thyroid cancer may develop.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of chronic thyroiditis.
There is no known way to prevent this disorder. Being aware of risk factors may allow earlier diagnosis and treatment.

PHOTOS: Dinosaurs! storm Cleveland MetroParks Zoo
Click here for more pictures! (Photos by Darren Toms/WTAM 1100)
(Cleveland) - The shores of the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's Waterfowl Lake have undergone a prehistoric transformation.
Dinosaurs!, the Zoo's new seasonal exhibit, has come to life.
A few weeks ago, a large crane was used to move the 6,700 pound animatronic Tyrannosaurus rex into position.
It's one of 21 dinosaur displays that are lurking around the lake at the Zoo . Seven have never been displayed at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo before.
Another new feature is a giant "Base Camp". It's a large tent representing an active dig site with fossils and a giant footprint to stand in.
Dinosaurs! will be open daily through September 15.

SA Company Building 'Electrified' Limos for Publicity-Shy Celebrities
Texas Armoring Corporation has carved out a profitable business model selling bullet proof and terrorist proof vehicles to business leaders and government officials around the world, but now Vice President Jason Forston says they are adding another type of vehicle to their offerings--paparazzi-proof limos.
Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown was the latest jet setter to have a vehicle delivered to her by Texas Armoring which will protect her from one of the most annoying parts of the celebrity life...photographers who yank open the door of her car to get that money shot inside the limo.
"It has an electric shocking door handle," Forston told 1200 WOAI's Berit Mason. "It is basically the equivalent of sticking your finger into a 110 volt light socket. It's not going to kill you, but it is certainly going to hurt."
Increasing terrorist attacks and more grumbling about the widening gulf between the 'one percent' wealthiest Americans and the rest of us, has prompted more and more celebs to inquire about Texas Armoring's products. But Forston says the idea of an 'anti paparazzi charge' in the door handles has gotten the attention of a lot of Hollywood types, especially those which young children who they want to keep out of the spotlight.
"It is kind of a new application," he says. "Some celebrities have been installing it in case paparazzi come up and get aggressive and try to grab the door handle. It is basically to keep them away from the car."
Forston says movie stars are making up a larger and larger portion of Texas Armoring's client list, which used to include only government officials and businessmen, most of whom wanted the armored vehicles for travel in Third World countries.
He says there are also other protections which are available for movie stars and other celebs.
"There is a smoke screen system. If paparazzi is chasing you you can deploy the smoke and it is very hard to follow."
Ah, the hassles of being a millionaire movie star!

She knows how to find the back of the net and it will be a delight to see her scoring for the Tornados in the 2012 season."
The Tornados compete in the NCAA Division II and the South Atlantic Conference.

The entire list
Daily Comments
Iran Itimat newspaper, 26 October 2008
Adnan Oktar: Secularism is a comfort. A great comfort for the Muslims. There is no hypocrisy where there is secularism, and that is a great blessing. In other words, PEOPLE HONESTLY EXPRESS THEİR VİEWS, PEOPLE WITH NO RELIGION SAY THAY HAVE NO RELIGION, AND THAT IS REAL HONESTY, THEY SAY IT COMPLETELY IN THE OPEN. Hypocrisy spreads where there is no secularism. In that event even if someone has no religion he still describes himself as devout, even as having great piety, deceiving those around him as if playing a role, like an actor in a play. Who wants that? That is something very ugly. Those with no religion are still human beings, our citizens and first-class people. That is perfectly normal. Someone may have no religion, but should say so openly. Secularism gives a person the freedom to openly state that he has no religion. In addition, it also allows Christians and Jews to live comfortably and at peace. This is very important. Freemasons are also our citizens, and Marxists are also our citizens, and they are all first-class human beings. Of course they must live freely and independently in this country, at genuine ease, and that is only possible with secularism.SECULARISM, DEMOCRASY AND ALL OTHER CONCEPTS OF THE REPUBLIC ARE ALREADY INHERENT IN ISLAM. I AM JUST DESCRIBING THE SUBJECT TO MAKE IT CLEARER TO BE UNDERSTOOD. THE DEMOCRATIC WAY OF THINKING, THE REPUBLIC AND SECULARISM ARE THE STRUCTURES DOMINANT IN THE QUR'AN. In other words, people of other religious sects are provided with freedom, compensation and mercy. There is a freedom of ideas; an understanding of the republic and the comfort and safety of the public is essential. We find all of these in the religion. We haven't collected these ideas from ancient Greece or else. Actually the Ancient Greece or any other thought had taken all these from the True religions; either from the sources of the Christianity or the Judaism. The True religions have taught all these to the people.
Yeni Asya, 06 September 2011
Austrian President Heinz Fischer participated in the Ramadan Eid al-Fitr reception held for the first time by Austria Islamic Community. President Fischer expressed that there is a secular system in Austria that conducts politics without the introduction of religious elements; and added: "Nonethless that does not mean that no common grounds exist between the religion and the state."

New Study Shows iPhone Interest is Plunging
Jason Mick
October 1, 2010 12:15 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Nearly as many smart phone buyers now want an Android phone as want an iPhone.
Android has posted incredible growth since last year.
Google's OS also rivals the iPhone's iOS in satisfaction these days, as well.
(Source: (All graphs in this article are from Changewave))
Android is winning consumers' hearts, has now pulled neck-and-neck with Apple
When the
iPhone 4
went on sale people were wildly enthusiastic after hearing about the stunning new display, inclusion of video chat, and a host of other new features at Steve Jobs' keynote introduction of the device. As the phone launched with a slew of quality issues including
proximity sensor problems
and began to face superior hardware Android competitors, that enthusiasm has been waning.
According to a
new study
by ChangeWave, the number of smart phone buyers intending to buy an iPhone dropped from 50 percent in June to 38 percent in September. Meanwhile Google Android surged from 30 percent to 37 percent, pulling roughly into a tie with the Cupertino gadget maker.
The news is a huge victory for Android, which two years ago was virtually unknown, with only 1 percent of smart phone buyers in June 2008 saying they wanted an Android handset.
Google is also doing well in satisfaction. While Apple's fans have long been
unquestioningly loyal
, leading to
sky-high satisfaction numbers
even when the company's products have problems, Google is seeing increasing enthusiasm among its customers as well. Apple's smart phone OS ranked first with a 74 percent customer satisfaction rate, while Google's Android was close behind with a 65 percent satisfaction rate.
Both operating systems are far ahead of Palm OS/webOS (32 percent) and RIM OS (31 percent) (commonly found on BlackBerry handsets). And Windows Mobile showed a rock-bottom 24 percent satisfaction rate, showcasing how desperate the company needs its
new Windows Phone 7 OS
Overall the ChangeWave study shows no real major surprises. Rather, it's just one more measure that shows that Android is
surging towards surpassing Apple
(and competitors RIM and
) as the most popular and best-selling smart phone in the world.
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007

This is the golden cordless prelit holiday trim that can be hung anywhere indoors or outdoors without requiring unsightly extension cords or proximity to an outlet. Reminiscent of the opulent holiday decor gracing the residences of London's St. John's Wood, the wreath, garland, basket, and sconce are decorated with golden-painted ornaments with shiny and matte finishes. Frosted in gold paint, woody pinecones, clusters of berries, willow branches, and filigree leaves nestle among dense greenery that replicate the growth patterns of actual conifer branches. Each piece of trim is festooned with glistening white LEDs that provide cheerful illumination. Boughs are made of weather-resistant PVC that will last for years. An automatic timer turns the LEDs on for six hours and off for 18 hours. Each piece of trim requires two D batteries that will power the lights for an entire holiday season.

These were perfect for my outdoor garage lamps. The automatic timer is great for ease of decorating. I don't have to be home to turn them on. For this amount of money, I would have expected, however, more and better lights. There aren't many on the sconce or wreath.
WOW!!! Really Beautiful

I was really surprised this was a beautiful as it is. Very impressed. Its use is outdoor and its very classy. Wasn't sure what to expect. Often outdoor items tend to be more plain. Very happy with this purchase I haven't used them yet so I can't comment on performance.
Great Purchase

Just love these Holiday Sconces, Very full and decorative. We bought 2, one for each front light and they made our home look so welcoming.... We also ended up buying the matching door wreath... Just Perfect!!
Beautiful; a bit dark

The overall design is beautiful and as pictured, but the lights are a bit small and dim; and led white; not a soft yellow. Still nice though for an area without an outlet.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!

I ordered three of these to hang on my carriage lights outdoors. They look amazing! I am so glad I ordered them. Love them!
Just bright enough

This set (wreath, sconce, garland) looks just beautiful on our circa-1920s home. All three pieces shed a lot of glitter, so I would recommend using them outdoors only. The lighting is subtle, rather than bright, and that is what I wanted.
I liked this Teardrop Scone so much I purchased another one.

Better than advertised

Hang beneath garage door lights on each side. Very full and bright colors. Perfect for matching with lighted wreath and light settings on 'twinkle'

TV Show example: Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko - 12 ep series just ended
Would not retrieve info for episodes 11 & 12 so I thought i would move all the nfo / xml & tbn files that I had exported in the past to a backup folder and the proceded to reload info from internet and refresh all episodes and start fresh.
It didnt work. It actually scraped less episodes than it previously had before leaving me with only 9 instead of the 10 it had before.
Other steps I took were to remove show completely & clean library, and create a brand new profile. No positive effect. Its not even scraping episode information for other newer shows. It retrieves show information but nothing else.
The main scraper in question is Anidb.net's.
I do show.name.s#e#.episodename.screenformat.encoding.etc.mkv for most of my video files and each episode is kept in its own subfolder to keep it neater when I export all the info.
I've switched to different scrapers for most of the newer shows when possible.
I hope I covered anything that may have been asked.
Wrong setting perhaps or something changed on the website (have not noticed any)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
