Where would you like to see Tesla set up Super Chargers?
Where would you like to see Tesla set up Super Chargers?
Maybe follow the airport distribution method? Especially if S appeals to rental agencies......
Ah, yaass, Bahstan;
"I dwell 'neath the shades of Harvard
In the State of the Sacred Cod,
Where the Lowells speak only to Cabots
And the Cabots speak only to God."
But I hear excessive inbreeding has pretty much put paid to all that ...
The Cabots all moved up to Vinalhaven and Bar Harbor, which is why we need Superchargers out there. :-)
I35 Station I45 Station
San Antonio I10 Station Houston
Definitiely not to scale or direction, but these are three of this countries great cities, and we Texans move between them.
I was thinking more like placing one charger 150 to 200 miles outside every big city on major interstate highways, kind of along the same lines as David posted above. Looking at a map that should cover all major travel destinations with a few exceptions.
It would give plenty of coverage in case of bad weather with a 300 mile battery. In good weather a 240 mile battery would do just fine. I think most of us agree that the 160 miles battery is more of an around town car.
I think the cities themselves will end up with chargers on their own.
SO for example that would be one charge between (using my neck of the woods):
St. Louis and Kansas City
St. Louis and Chicago
St. Louis and Memphis
St. Louis and Indianapolis
St. Louis and Tulsa
Kansas City and Tulsa
Kansas City and Denver
Kansas City and Sioux Falls
Chicago and Minneapolis
Chicago and Indianapolis
Chicago and Cleveland
Memphis and New Orleans
Memphis and Dallas (might need two)
Memphis and Atlanta
Memphis and Knoxville
Memphis and Oklahoma City
Indianapolis and Cleveland
Indianapolis and Nashville
Indianapolis and Pittsburgh
Indianapolis and Knoxville
Indianapolis and Charleston
Just keep on extrapolating from there. Those 22 chargers cover a huge amount of travel.
Salida, CO
Its a good place to spend an hour or more, and a great half way point between Denver and Southwest Colorado.
RB: Yes, and there's great shopping and food in Kittery, Freeport (home of L.L.Bean) and Portland. After that, Camden is nice - they have a great overlook at the park on Mt. Battey (sp?) that overlooks beautiful Camden Harbor.
It's not as high volume as other stretches of I-95, but I think they would get good use, at least from June to October.
+1 andystj
Something between Dallas and Houston preferably where there is some good BBQ. :-)
I am going to just quote Robert Boston's suggestions for new england on a previous 100+ post thread on exactly the same topic:
@ncn: Agreed! An east-coast charging network would be easy and helpful. The I-95 corridor is the primary backbone. Working from the north, charging stations in New England should be set:
1. Augusta, ME: University of Maine at Augusta campus, I-95 exit 112. Between the state and university, this should be easy. From here, all of the tourist areas is reasonable (118 miles to Bar Harbor, 142 miles to Baxter State Park, even 240 miles to St. John, NB)
2. Kennebunk rest area (north- and south-bound). This is 25 miles into Maine, and gets you to all the south and mid-coast of Maine (105 miles to Camden ME).
3. (north-bound) NH welcome center, NH-MA state line; (south-bound) MW welcome center, MA-NH state line. This point is just north of the I-95 / I-495 split.
4. I-90 (Mass Pike) Charlton rest area: just east of the I-84 / I-90 split.
5. I-95, MA Exit 7. Not much here, but this is strategically located at the intersection of I-95 and I-495. Charge here and Cape Cod is entirely in range (117 miles to Provincetown). Also, hits just north of the I-95 / I-295 split around Providence RI.
6. New Haven. I-91 joins I-90 here, connecting easily to charging stations #4 and #5 above.
7. Greenfield, MA. About 100 miles north of #6, 125 miles west of #3, and along the important Rte 2 east-west route. Also a hotbed of sustainable farming.
8. Danbury, CT. About 110 miles west of #4, and just east of the I-84 / I-684 split.
9. White River Jct, VT. 84 miles north of #7, at the cross-roads of I-91 and I-89. 185 miles to Montreal.
10. Concord, NH. At the cross-roads of I-91 and I-93. Puts all of NH in play, including the White Mtn resorts.
I think that pretty well covers it -- 10 stations to serve 14.5 million people. Not a bad ratio.
Thanks Robert for the well thought out network. Just the idea of it puts a grin on my face.
Something to keep in mind for placing these stations: expanding battery range.
You don't want to place these chargers too close or when the 400 mile, 500 mile, etc battery come along those chargers will see a LOT less use.
@mvbf: thanks for resurrecting that old post of mine!
@Vawlkus: As batteries become less expensive, you can put more kWh into a car at the same price point, or lower prices and keep the kWh (or some mix of lower prices and greater range). To expand the market for EVs, their price has to drop. So, I expect that a robust charging network spaced ~150 miles apart will continue to be valuable for decades -- if for no other reason to provide EV drivers peace of mind.
Vawlkus, I agree with Robert.Boston. In addition, less use due to longer-range batteries will probably be more than offset by many more EVs on the road! Think of how many gas stations there are, despite the fact that many gassers have ranges of more than 300 miles. More charging stations will simply allow for more flexible route planning, very welcome.
@Sudre: I think most of us agree that the 160 miles battery is more of an around town car.
I don't know about the majority but I certainly don't agree. Put the chargers 90-100 miles apart and let the 40Kwh battery be charged by them too.
This would also improve the availability of the chargers as more Tesla make it on the road.
It would be so nice if the quote tags would actually work...
Definitely Barstow CA
@gjunky - "Put the chargers 90-100 miles apart and let the 40Kwh battery be charged by them too."
So you're saying they should place batteries so that the distance is 40kWh-friendly even though no 40kWh Model S can use them? Odd.
Correction: superchargers, not batteries
I was asking to have them put the chargers in a 40Kwh range AND allow for supercharging (perhaps at a lower rate to save the battery)
Routes that take me from the bay area to Vegas, Tahoe, LA, San Diego, and Yosemite. Also a few stops along Highway 1.
Half way between LA and Phoenix
Someone needs to do a tally like MichiganModelS, but in a separate shorter thread.
100 mile separation is a bit close for the first phase of a rollout. With the Roadster, I prefer charging sites about every 130 - 160 miles. For the Model S, I think I would extend this slightly to maybe 150 - 180 miles.
This could be done with the 230 mile (60 kW) vehicles driving economically. Since I'm assuming those who really expect to be doing road trips will opt for the 300 mile (85 kW) version, they won't have to stop unreasonably often.
The second phase of rollout would undoubtedly split the gaps to allow 75 to 90 miles between stops, enabling a lot more flexibility as well as enabling shorter range EVs such as the Leaf.
I think it's wrong to assume that the stations should be spaced something like 2/3 to 9/10 of the range of the expected vechicles. It has to be more often than that.
The equivalent would be if gas stations were spaced out every 250 miles on interstates. People don't only travel in straight lines, and they don't start with the same amount of charge or from the same place.
If you want to assume cars have at least 150 miles of range, then 50-125 miles apart would not be bad spacing. If I'm driving with less charge than can make it to the second charger, I have to stop. If I've plenty to make it, I don't. Why would some of us want to stop after 60 miles just to synchronize with the charging network spacing?
Actually, with Tesla pointing out 150 miles (on 85kWh pack) in 30 minutes, I suspect that's what they'll be aiming at. I wish they could at least get the I-5 route finished by the end of 2012. That's a total of 9 superchargers counting the end points. The question is then "Can they be located near restaurants and other desirable businesses at those distances?" Of course, I want one at Barstow as well.
Starbucks - everywhere
you know - $5.00 for a coffee, $5.00 for a charge - no congestion - Starbucks might even pay to have the chargers installed - any Starbuckers out there?
With the Roadster, I prefer charging sites about every 130 - 160 miles. For the Model S, I think I would extend this slightly to maybe 150 - 180 miles. -Earl and Nagin
Roadster range considerations are not really relevant to this discussion regarding SuperChargers placement because the Roadster's charging ports are not compatible with the SuperChargers.
After going to the Santana Row event and playing with their mileage software I realized that with my driving habits on the freeway (closer to 75 than 55), I would probably only get about 245 miles of range with my 300 mile battery pack, which has changed my thinking about where I would like to see chargers.
I live in Berkeley, and regularly visit relatives in Sacramento and Monterrey. Since each of those locations are about 110 miles away I would only safely be able to go there and back on one charge without touring around while I was there, so I really need chargers in those locations to top off the tank, so to speak. So since there seems to be virtually a complete lack of chargers on the Monterrey Penninsula, I would like to see a charger there. And also one in Sacramento and one in Tahoe.
But maybe you guys can help me understand something else. Walgreens has been putting in chargers all over the country, but I can't find out anything about how to access them and how much they cost. Also, does anyone know how many miles I would get in an hour with those chargers (with the 85kwh battery)?
Also, there is a Tesla charger listed in Salinas. What kind of a charger would that be and what would it mean with regards to charging the Model S?
I would like to see the stations positioned appropriately between Toronto and Florida on the interstates so I can get to?from Florida with stops about ever three or four hours for lunch or over night. Plannong on an 85Kwh battery.
Texas!! It'd be awesome to see them from North Texas (Denton, DFW) all the way down to Houston. The EVs are piling up here way more quickly than I expected! A few 3rd party chargers are popping up here and there, but some Tesla superchargers would be smashing!!
Plus, knowing that you can easily drive from one end of Texas to the other makes a huge difference for Texans on the fence about EVs. :)
The Walgreen's charger are J-1772 and the chargers are ChargePoint. You can go to ChargePoints web site and get a pass to use them. Many ChargePoint locations in general are free since the establishments are trying to encourage EV customers to stop by. A few I have seen (not at Walgreens) say to just come in and ask for a card to charge for free. There is also a phone number on the charger to call and they will turn it on for you.
There is a thread in the General forum.
I agree with DavidM who suggested placement every 150 miles to allow the 230 packs to participate with margin. I don't want to go 55 mph on 70 mph roads; I don't want to arrive on empty; and I want to use the A/C, radio and lights; and I want to do it at end of pack life (good design). Pack life is 10% lost range, 65 mph appears to be a 10% cost, so that leaves a 230 pack with 15% margin for hills.
Tesla SM to Barstow, CA is 130 mi (I-15 & I-40); on to Las Vegas is 150 mi with mountains.
Tesla SM to Lost Hills, CA via I-15 is 140 mi; on to Patterson is 160 mi, with TM next door.
Tesla SM to Indio, CA is 140 mi with one windy hill; on to Buckeye is 210 mi; and Tucson is +154 mi.
Those with the 300 mi pack have 50 miles of flexibility on both ends. Most Angelinos will make Las Vegas with a single stop in Barstow. A Sig 300 in San Jose could blow off Patterson and go straight to Lost Hills, and then blow off Santa Monica and go on to Laguna Niguel. Flexible on both ends. :)
I'd like to see Hwy 99 in CA get one or two, and maybe somewhere between Bakersfield and Barstow? I like to take the high desert on the drive to Vegas!
Almost forgot. I want superchargers to be multi headed. I want to see convoys of Teslas making these trips, not just one car per time slot. But of course, any charger is better than none.
@David den Boer: Bakersfield to Barstow is 130 mi; and Fresno to Lost Hills is only 90 mi.
Lost Hills to Barstow is an iffy 176 mi for the 230 pack but fine for 300 packs. If in doubt, 230 pack should go via Santa Monica. 230 pack enabled doesn't mean totally friendly routing, at first anyway.
But you are correct that the state capitol of Fresno should be a hub. Are you a state politician? :)
By bad, the capitol of CA is Sacramento.
Actually, I live and work in the Bay Area, so the drive through the high desert to LV is my favorite.
Bay Area guy here as well, sounds like you all have it covered! ;)
Thanks for answering my question about Walgreen's charging stations. Now that time is close for actually getting my car (I am S#566), the practical consideration of where to charge the car on trips, before Tesla has time to install a lot of fast chargers, becomes real. Also, based on the link below it looks like the NRG settlement with the State of California may bring a lot more charging stations, but potentially incompatible with the Model S.
I guess it may be better to move that discussion to the other thread that you referenced.
I am so excited about getting my Model S that I can barely stand it!
In Canada they would need to put some chargers on the main transportation links between Ontario and Quebec
Windsor, ON
Hamilton, ON
Toronto, ON
Kingston, ON
Ottawa, ON
Montreal, QC
Mont-Tremblant, QC
Trois-Riviere, QC
Quebec City, QC
P258 (Canada)
@DMAC -- 200 CHADEMO stations would be incompatible but the 10000 "normal speed" are compatible.
However the Tesla fast charges are MUCH faster than the CHADEMO ones anyhow. So it seems like we'll be covered.
By the time the standards committee makes a decision this summer, nearly all of the DC fast chargers in existence will be using the CHADEMO standard and nearly all of the EVs on the road at that time will be CHADEMO compatible. California, with all its political clout, will be committed to CHADEMO. I would be surprised to see the committee go in a different direction, but stranger things have happened.
Enter TM. They march to the beat of their own drum, and none of their vehicles will be compatible with whatever the standards committee decides. TM makes a J1772 adapter for both the Roadster and the S Level 2 charging. I hope they will soon offer an adapter for Level 3 CHADEMO DC fast charging in the interim and a modified J1772 in the future if that's the way the committee goes. TM has promised us a nationwide Supercharger network. Hope I'm wrong, but I think that is months if not years away. Meanwhile, they will start delivering the S to us in July and we then wait for a practical fast charging solution to take it cross country.
While I don't expect to see my model s in Australia until next year, I'd love to see chargers every 350 km or so along the main routes between Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
Chargers along the scenic routes would be great too - and could in the longer term help so many of the smaller towns that have lost out as the freeways bypass them.
We like to visit the eastern Sierras so:
Lancaster, Lone Pine, Bishop, Mammoth, CA
Without chargers, I will have to take an ICE car on our backpacking and camping adventures.
@jmatson, RV plugs will work to charge and may be near where you go camping.
@jmatson: Park near a stream and bring a hydroelectric generator. When you get back to the car, you'll be fully charged. (Depending on a solar panel to charge your car for the few days is too risky: it might be raining.)
Seriously: I've wondered the same thing about my backpacking trips. Not sure I want to park my Model S in an unpaved woods parking lot, and leave it for 4 days.
I'd like to see Supercharging stations at all Interstate Highway reststops. According to the next rest area signs before the exits to the rest area you are nearing they tend to be right at 100 miles apart. I travel from Dallas, TX to Columbus, OH a couple of times a year. I'd definitely like to see them along I-30, I-40, I-65, I-71 & I-70. All along these Interstates are very nicely landscaped, well lit with clean restrooms and picnic facilies.
The Pvilion a New York PhotoVoltaics company has designed a solar sail EV charging station that has been installed in Pflugerville, TX that is as beautiful to see as it is to use. Story and photo at the link below.
Previous post is an artist rendering the actual photo of the solar sail EV charging station in Pflugerville, TX is at the link below.
Problem with using rest stops on interstates is that there is not a commercial outfit for TM to partner with. I chatted with one of the TM guys at the Santana Road event and he said they are looking for partnerships, whereby presumably big spenders would be lured into their establishments. The Harris Ranch site is a perfect example.

How Does the Economic Stimulus Plan Affect Tech?
- How Does the Economic Stimulus Plan Affect Tech?
- Homeland Security
The economic stimulus package has dominated nightly newscasts and newspaper headlines this week, and while Democrats and Republicans are still undecided over whether the bill is unnecessary or just the type of boost our economy needs, the stimulus does include some serious cash for tech-related projects.
The House approved the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan this week, and a Senate version of the bill is currently floating through Congress. There are some differences in the way the money is allocated, but both bills target roughly the same projects.
So what are your tax dollars getting out of the stimulus? Everything from broadband grants and a $650 million boost to the DTV program to an upgraded electric grid and millions of dollars worth of explosive detection devices at airports.
Broadband Grants
As more and more Americans drop land lines for cell phones and telecommute via residential high-speed Internet lines, access to broadband is increasingly considered essential to competing in today's 21st century economy.
But what about rural or low-income areas with limited Web access? Do we wait for private ISPs to build out their networks or dole out government funds?
The House stimulus package allocates $6 billion for broadband grants and loans, split between the Departments of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) within the Commerce Department.
Agriculture has to allocate at least 75 percent of its $3 billion to rural areas without sufficient access to broadband, and these grants must be open-access. NTIA has to give $1 billion for wireless broadband grants and $1.825 billion for broadband deployment grants. At least half of the grants would have to be awarded by Sept. 30, 2009.
NTIA would also get $350 million to track broadband availability and to develop a Web-based broadband inventory map.
The Senate, meanwhile, would award $9 billion for broadband grants. Of that, at least $200 million must go toward competitive grants to expand computer centers at public schools and libraries, while $250 million would go towards competitive grants for innovative programs.
The Senate bill also designates $350 million for broadband data and maps.
DTV Transition
The DTV transition is the other big issue being discussed on Capitol Hill this week should it occur as scheduled on February 17 or be pushed to June 12? The Senate approved a delay, but the House failed to pass the legislation Wednesday, so at this point, the transition is still scheduled for February, but funding concerns remain.
Both versions of the stimulus package would allocate an additional $650 million for transition-related converter box coupon and educational efforts.
The House version does not get specific on doling out those funds, but the Senate version says that only $90 million can be used for education and outreach, while another $2 million can be used for an audit of the program, while the rest goes toward coupons.
Science and Technology Research
American innovation has gotten a bad rap lately. Too many jobs are going overseas. Not enough math and science Ph.D. graduates are staying in this country. Our broadband penetration rates are dropping every year. Both stimulus bills, however, set aside a nice amount for research.
For the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) within Commerce, the House set aside $100 million for technology services, while the Senate allocated $218 million. The House allocated $300 million for the construction of research science buildings, while the Senate upped the ante with $357 million.
The oceans need love, too. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration got $600 million from the House for satellites, climate sensors, and climate data modeling. At least $140 million has to go toward climate data modeling. The Senate is a bit vaguer, setting aside a lump $795 million sum for NOAA procurement, acquisitions, and construction.
At the National Science Foundation within the Justice Department, the House set aside $2.5 billion for basic research, while the Senate gave $1.2 billion. NSF's Major Research Instrumentation program also got $300 million from the House and $150 million in Senate funds.
The Senate gave an additional $200 million for a law enforcement wireless communication system within the Justice Department that would work across all federal agencies. next: Homeland Security

Colleen LaRose, the Pennsylvania terrorism suspect known by the online moniker "Jihad Jane," certainly defies the stereotypes associated with extremist Islam.
But according to counterterrorism experts, Ms. LaRose, who has not been connected with any organized militant group, represents the growing threat posed by "jihobbyists." These are people drawn to the online theater of violent jihad, becoming increasingly radical as they delve deeper into the chat rooms and forums that espouse Al Qeada ideology.
According to the federal indictment against LaRose, she had pledged to commit murder in the name of jihad.
On Thursday, she pleaded not guilty to federal charges that she recruited men and women to wage attacks in Europe and Asia and plotted to murder a Swedish cartoonist who depicted the prophet Muhammad as a dog.
Unlike many of the other Americans currently facing terror-related charges, LaRose allegedly acted on her own without any training, associations with radical groups, or links to extremism beyond what her Internet connection provided.
"Both men and women who were once written off as hapless wannabes and mere 'jihobbyists' are unexpectedly rising to the occasion, in often quite desperate bids to prove their total commitment to the cause," terrorism expert Evan Kohlmann recently wrote on the Counterterrorism Blog, a forum dedicated to counterterrorism issues.
"Their pedigree is less than elite, and they lack the traditional connections back to Al Qaeda's central leadership," he wrote. "Yet, even Al Qaeda's senior echelon now openly recognizes the critical value of these potential 'lone wolf' operatives."
Jarret Brachman, author of "Global Jihadism: Theory and Practice," coined the term "jihobbyist" as a way to identify people who weren't part of a group such as Al Qeada or Al Shabaab, the Somali militant group, but have a growing fascination with radical Islam.
"These are fans in the same way other people might follow football teams. But their sport is Al Qaeda," Mr. Brachman said in a November interview with The Dallas Morning News. The interview followed charges against Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim, for the deaths of 13 people in a shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas.
But "jihobbyism stops when you cross over that line from thought to action," Brachman said. "[W]hen they start stepping toward making something violent happen – including when you knowingly fund a terrorist organization – that crosses the line from jihobbyism to material support for terrorism."
Aaron Weisburd of the Society for Internet Research, which monitors online Islamic extremism, said, "The problem is that the term jihobbyist conveys the notion that these guys are not serious ...."
"In fact what these guys are doing," he wrote on his blog, "is marking time while waiting for the opportunities and associations to appear that will allow them to become real jihadis."
Brachman acknowledged the issues with using "jihobbyist" too broadly. But, as he recently wrote on his blog, the term is "potentially useful in that it introduces shades of grey into the discussion: it acknowledges that people can support Al Qaeda and wish death upon Americans without ever 'joining up' officially."
But it can be a slippery slope from talking to doing.
As Mr. Kohlmann pointed out, Al Qaeda has taken notice of these people in an effort to nudge them toward real action. As he noted, recently arrested Al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn praised the actions of Hasan and called on "every honest and vigilant Muslim in the countries of the Zionist-Crusader alliance in general and America, Britain and Israel in particular to prepare to play his due role in responding to and repelling the aggression of the enemies of Islam."

Portola, Bristol-Myers Squibb And Pfizer Sign Clinical Collaboration Agreement To Study ELIQUIS® And Portola's Universal Factor Xa Inhibitor Antidote PRT4445
November 1, 2012
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., PRINCETON, N.J. and NEW YORK, N.Y., November 1 - Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) today announced a clinical collaboration agreement to conduct a proof-of-concept study of PRT4445 and the investigational oral Factor Xa inhibitor ELIQUIS® (apixaban). PRT4445 is a universal Factor Xa inhibitor antidote in clinical development designed to reverse the anticoagulant activity of any Factor Xa inhibitor. No agents are approved to reverse the activity of Factor Xa inhibitors.
The collaboration will be in effect during the clinical proof-ofconcept study, which is anticipated to start by the end of this year. The study is designed to demonstrate the safety of PRT4445 and its ability to reverse the anticoagulation activity of ELIQUIS and other Factor Xa inhibitors, including betrixaban, Portola's Phase 3 oral Factor Xa inhibitor. Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer will make an undisclosed cash payment to Portola upon initiation of the proof-of-concept study with ELIQUIS and will provide development and regulatory guidance for the study. Portola retains 100 percent global development and commercialization rights for PRT4445.
"Oral Factor Xa inhibitors address an important unmet need for patients requiring anticoagulant therapy, but as with all anticoagulants, there is a need for an antidote to help manage the concerns physicians have around infrequent but serious bleeding events." said William Lis, chief executive officer of Portola. "This clinical collaboration brings together world-class expertise in the field of thrombosis from Bristol- Myers Squibb, Pfizer and Portola with the goal of accelerating the development of PRT4445 as an antidote to ELIQUIS, while allowing Portola to retain all rights to develop and commercialize the compound in the future."
"Patient safety and improved patient outcomes have guided our clinical development program for ELIQUIS, including our efforts to identify a reversal agent for urgent clinical situations," said Brian Daniels, senior vice president, Global Development and Medical Affairs, Bristol- Myers Squibb. "With our partner Pfizer, we look forward to working with Portola to advance the scientific understanding of the role of PRT4445 as a potential antidote for ELIQUIS." Major bleeding events occur infrequently in patients taking Factor Xa inhibitors (1-4% per year in clinical studies) and standard measures are employed to manage these events. Development of an agent specifically designed to reverse the activity of Factor Xa inhibitors may provide an antidote for patients who, in rare instances, experience an uncontrolled major bleeding event or require emergency surgery.
About PRT4445
PRT4445 is a novel recombinant protein being developed to address serious, uncontrolled bleeding by reversing the anticoagulant activity of Factor Xa inhibitors and low molecular weight heparins in Factor Xa inhibitor-treated patients experiencing uncontrolled major bleeding or requiring emergency surgery. PRT4445 is a modified version of human Factor Xa designed to sequester direct inhibitors (apixaban, betrixaban, rivaroxaban), thereby allowing native Factor Xa to restore hemostasis. In addition, PRT4445 can reduce the Xa inhibition properties of anti-thrombin dependent inhibitors. Portola has presented nonclinical data on PRT4445 at multiple major scientific conferences and has shown reductions in bleeding in animal models with enoxaparin, fondaparinux and rivaroxaban. Additional in vivo and in vitro data have shown that PRT4445 has the potential to act as a universal antidote for the class of direct Factor Xa inhibitors.
About ELIQUIS
ELIQUIS is the approved trade name for apixaban in Europe and the proposed trade name in the U.S. ELIQUIS is not approved for the prevention of stroke or systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation in any country. In May 2011, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer announced the first regulatory approval for ELIQUIS in the 27 countries of the European Union plus Iceland and Norway for the prevention of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in adult patients who have undergone elective hip or knee replacement surgery.
Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer continue to progress the ELIQUIS application for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation based on the ARISTOTLE and AVERROES studies. On September 21, 2012, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer Inc. announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion recommending that ELIQUIS be granted approval for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in adult patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and with one or more risk factors for stroke. On September 26, 2012, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) acknowledged receipt of the ELIQUIS (apixaban) New Drug Application (NDA) resubmission to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in adult patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. The FDA has deemed the resubmission a complete response to its June 22, 2012 Complete Response Letter (CRL) that requested additional information on data management and verification from the ARISTOTLE trial. The FDA Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date is March 17, 2013. ELIQUIS is also being investigated in Phase 3 trials for the treatment of VTE.
About Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Portola Pharmaceuticals discovers and develops innovative therapeutics based on targets with established proof of concept that are designed to provide significant advances over current treatments for thrombosis, inflammatory disease and cancer. In thrombosis, Portola is developing betrixaban, a novel, oral, once-daily Factor Xa inhibitor in the global, pivotal Phase 3 APEX Study for hospital and post-discharge prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in acute medically ill patients, and PRT4445, a universal Factor Xa inhibitor antidote which Portola plans to market with betrixaban. In inflammation, Portola is developing highly selective, novel oral Syk inhibitors for the treatment of various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and novel dual inhibitors of Syk and Janus Kinase (JAK) for hematologic cancers and autoimmune diseases.

About the Bristol-Myers Squibb/Pfizer Collaboration
In 2007, Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb entered into a worldwide collaboration to develop and commercialize ELIQUIS, an investigational oral anticoagulant discovered by Bristol-Myers Squibb. This global alliance combines Bristol-Myers Squibb's long-standing strengths in cardiovascular drug development and commercialization with Pfizer's global scale and expertise in this field.

Today's guest blog post is by one of two AAA Summer Interns. This is the second year of the AAA Summer Internship Program. Learn more and support the program today!
My name is Susannah Poland, and I am an intern for the American Anthropological Association (AAA). I divide my time between the AAA offices in Arlington, VA, and the curatorial department of the Smithsonian National Museum for African Art, located on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
I have a background in cultural anthropology, with an emphasis in studies of arts and creativity. I graduated this spring with a Bachelors of Arts from Stanford University, for which I completed an Honors thesis on beaded body adornment of the Chagga culture group in northern Tanzania. Under the mentorship of Dr. Barbara Thompson, curator at the Cantor for the Arts at Stanford University, I explored museum collections and colonial archives in England, and conducted ethnographic research among the Chagga people. This work over the last 18 months exposed me to many of the methods and stores of information used by cultural anthropologists, and gave me a taste of the long, solo process of reflecting and writing on personal experience. Though my product was a thesis and an academic paper, independent curatorial work under Dr. Thompson and another Africanist curator in Stanford's department of Art History helped me learn about alternative ways of interpreting and representing knowledge.
Emerging from this intense research and writing phase, I hope to take a step back and gain perspective on the breadth of anthropological work today. At the AAA, I am helping to expand their membership base, particularly in student communities. I will help the AAA better reach and address the needs of youth like me – those who are curious and excited about anthropology, still searching for their niche, and still developing a sense of the extent of the discipline and the possible reach/impact of its many applications. I am lucky that the AAA affords the perfect vantage for these explorations.
At the National Museum for African Art, I work under Christine Kreamer, the Chief Curator and Deputy Director of the museum. She is just starting the brainstorming phase for an exhibition and book on work by contemporary African women artists that address current issues in gender and feminist studies. As her research assistant, I am compiling and digesting literature on these topics to identify past and emerging themes,both in academic study and artistic practice.Together, Dr. Kreamer and I will choose a few important thinkers and artists to invite to a meeting in September, to further develop this project. My background research will help us frame and structure the forthcoming conversations, and I will help Dr. Kreamer begin to weave narratives between objects, performances, and writings. In this stage of early development, I will be exposed to the guiding principles which shape the creation of museum exhibitions and publications. My everyday process is unstructured, my research goals fairly abstract, and I have enormous resources to explore at the Smithsonian. I am honored by the autonomy and trust placed in me, and very eager to immerse deeply in this learning process.
Outside of the workplace, I am exploring DC and its environs. The AAA provides housing for interns on Capitol Hill, and I am lucky to be situated just behind the Supreme Court, on Constitution Ave NE. I am living with other interns from around the country, many of whom are working for senators or representatives. The AAA is involved in the regulation of ethical and human rights concerns in much legislation, and I have had very interesting conversations with my housemates about the intersections of our respective fields. I am learning about the value of anthropological thought as a source of social critique and deep inquiry, particularly in the rapid but impactful decision-making on the Hill.
I am fortunate to have this privileged view into professional worlds where anthropological thought is applied in meaningful ways. I feel very young in my studies, and am humbled by the earnest work of my mentors at the AAA and Smithsonian. Their warm welcome has made this transition smooth, and I am very excited about the coming five weeks.
I will reflect this internship experience again in late July, then at its conclusion in mid August.
Susannah Poland

This collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology captures the current excitement in invertebrate neurobiology, from the manipulation of activity in specified neurons to the investigation of behavior. The monograph emphasizes the evolutionary aspects of neurobiology and work on non-model species. The chapters, from internationally respected contributors, incorporate trenchant findings but also identify important outstanding questions. The volume will inspire graduate students and post-docs, and provide a good starting point for any scientist who wants to learn about this resurgent field.
To read Geoffrey North's Foreword, click here.
[T]he book will be a useful source of information for researchers, as well as for teachers in preparing advanced level lectures. I recommend that every Neuroscientist ensures they have access to it.
The Journal of Experimental Biology
This book succeeds overall in confirming that invertebrate brains still have much to contribute and that there is a wealth of wonderful material that could be pulled together to inform a new level of understanding of brain function.

Caution: This story may make you sick to your stomach, especially the description of the mutilation of a young Christian boy in Pakistan. The barbarians there are not just trying to burn an 11-year old girl for blasphemy, they're actually chopping up little kids.
Detectives in Faisalabad, around 60 miles from Lahore, said they were investigating whether accusations of blasphemy had also been made against the boy.
Human rights campaigners condemned the killing of Samuel Yaqoob whose burned and tortured body body was discovered on Eid, the celebration which marks the end of the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan.
His lips and nose had been sliced off, his stomach removed and there was evidence that his legs had been mutilated too.
The boy had been missing since Monday when he left his home in the town's Christian Colony to visit a local market. His relatives identified his body from a distinctive mark on his forehead.
Yaquub was reported to be an orphan but in local newspaper reports his mother Asia Bibi was quoted denying he had been accused of blasphemy. "We neither received any phone call for ransom nor were we told that Samuel had committed blasphemy," she said.
Could this really be the son of Asia Bibi, a woman accused of blasphemy herself? Last I knew, she was still in jail while appeals are heard of her own death sentence for blasphemy, and her family had gone into hiding. I hope subsequent reports will clear that up.
Things like this leave me feeling very gloomy about our whole species. I simply don't understand how any human being could actually do something like this. How is it that so much of our species remains so utterly barbaric and cruel that they could mutilate and kill a child who has done nothing to harm them? My mind can't grasp such hideousness. It just can't.


text: WILTON -- Grant Cottage State Historic Site will be featured this weekend on the network show "CBS Sunday Morning." The show airs from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on CBS Channel 6, WRGB, and has an estimated five million viewers. Last September, a four-person production crew spent eight hours filming atop Mount McGregor at the cottage where 18th U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant died on July 23, 1885. "Our story will focus on Grant's last weeks, racing against time and his illness to finish his memoir before he died," producer Mary Lou Teel said. "The cottage is fascinating for many reasons. First, it's on the grounds of a prison -- Mount McGregor Correctional Institute -- which makes going and coming interesting." In addition, the cottage looks almost exactly the way it did when Grant and his family were there. "It's a treasure," Teel said. "Everything is there, the chair Grant wrote in, the notes he wrote asking his family to play cards with him when he was too sick to speak, the cocaine water that was used to bathe his throat -- even the flowers that arrived as tributes after he died. They're encased in beeswax, which has kept them, if not exactly fresh, in existence for 127-plus years." The piece, reported by CBS newsman Mo Rocca, is expected to last six to eight minutes and includes an interview with Ulysses Grant Dietz, the president's great-great-grandson. Rocca has a keen interest in U.S. presidents and visited Grant Cottage about 10 years ago, which led to this weekend's story. "Most remarkable of all is the story of General Grant's last battle to persevere through the pain and the hardship to finish his book and save his family from bankruptcy, which he did," Teel said. "His book, completed just days before he died, was a bestseller and Julia Grant (his wife) received a royalties check from publisher Mark Twain for over $400,000 within a year of Grant's death." That's about equal to $18 million today. CBS also interviewed prominent historian and author H.W. Brands, who wrote "The Man Who Saved the Union: Ulysses S. Grant in War and Peace." Friends of Grant Cottage President Tim Welch led Rocca through every room. "It's a story of redemption," Welch told him. "It ends with his death, but it ends with a victory. It was the most astounding five weeks in the man's life, despite the incredible life he had." Dietz, of New Jersey, will be the featured guest at a July 7 fundraiser at Canfield Casino for Friends of Grant Cottage, which supports programs and upkeep at the historic site. The Friends group has obtained $20,000 from different funding sources for a series of interpretive signs at the Grant Cottage Visitors Center. The signs will tell about Grant's life as a general, president and world traveler. Plans call for installing them this spring before the site opens for the 2013 season, which begins Saturday, May 25.

No More
Merle Haggard had it right when he said it was time to "Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues." As a lot of the trucks that grace the pages of CCT are ex-work trucks, that lyric couldn't explain those trucks' state of mind-before their transformations-better. The same thing goes for Brian Baker and his '84 Chevy.
Brian bought this Chevy clear back in the mid-'90s from a magazine auction house. Although he always had plans to fix up the '84, it first had to serve a few terms of duty as his everyday work truck. As the years passed and the Chevy was released from its contractual obligation, it was time for Brian to turn the Chevy into the hot rod it was destined to be.
Being that the truck was driven everyday, there wasn't a whole lot that Brian needed to do in terms of the drivetrain and chassis. All he really had to do was get the truck to sit right and ditch the slow-and-steady mentality. To bring the '84 down from the cheap seats, first he threw on a set of Bell Tech 2-inch drop spindles. From there a set of new Bell Tech lowering springs were added to the front for that extra drop. In the rear, things were brought down via a set of lowering blocks. Although the truck was reliable, and could be driven daily, it didn't exactly have that hot-rod feel Brian was after. For that reason, a '77 350 was rounded up and thrown in the mix. For starters, the motor was torn down and bored 0.030 over by Smith Machine. The heads of the motor were then taken down to Skip Thompson to get ported and polished. Once the machine work was done, Brian began assembling the mouse motor. To complete the bottom end he threw in a new set of 10:1 pistons, a Crane Saturday Night Special camshaft, and a geardrive built by Pete Jackson. The top end was rounded out with an Edelbrock RPM Airgap manifold and Edelbrock 750 carburetor. The slow-and-steady work mentality of the '84 was completely ditched when the new 375hp, hot-rodded 350 was dropped in. Behind the new motor sits a 700-R4 built with a B&M 2,500-stall converter by Tom Vickers.
Unlike the underpinnings of the Chevy, Brian had his work cut out for him to bring the exterior up to par. For the most part the truck was pretty straight, yet it just wasn't what Brian wanted. Automasters was called in to give Brian the smooth and sleek appearance he was after, which meant the first order of business was to ditch any trim on the truck and fill the holes. That still wasn't enough, therefore the truck was streamlined even more by removing the door handles, mirrors, and driprail. To match the sleek style of the sides, the stock grille was tossed for a new phantom grille, while the stock hood was replaced with a 2-inch cowl hood. The rear of the truck was toned down by shaving the tailgate, adding a new roll pan, and installing a tonneau cover. Bringing it all together is a new Sherwin Williams Midnight Blue paint job, laid down by Jay Cheever at Automasters. To complement the new blue persona is a set of American Racing Torque Thrust II rims. Wanting to keep some rubber between the streets and the Chevy, Brian opted for 15×8 rims in the rear and 15×7 rims in the front.
The inside of the truck was kept in a stock state of mind, only refined around the edges. For starters, the seat, door panels, and dash were re-covered in light blue tweed. The blue-tweed theme was also carried out in the bed. Next, all of the stock trim pieces were replaced with polished aluminum pieces, and the stock gauges were tossed in favor of new Auto Meter gauges. This truck's workin' man blues are out the door for sure.

Jimmy Fallon's body was ready, but Reggie Fils-Aime overwhelmed him anyway with what Nintendo had to offer at E3.
Nintendo's E3 showcase spanned four consoles while Late Night with Jimmy Fallon featured only three. Well, almost. Reggie Fils-Aime brought the Wii U with him, there were no demos from the new console. Instead Fallon finished a boss battle in Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword with the precision that only Wiimotion plus can offer and tells us about how great it feels to hold the Wii U. You can almost see Fallon's chin quiver when Reggie tells him it won't be released for at least another year.

Last August, a few members of our Brazil and U.S. Street View and Google Earth Outreach teams were invited to the Amazon Basin to collect ground-level images of the rivers, forest and communities in the Rio Negro Reserve. Today, on World Forest Day, we're making those images available through the Street View feature on Google Maps. Now anyone can experience the beauty and diversity of the Amazon.
Take a virtual boat ride down the main section of the Rio Negro, and float up into the smaller tributaries where the forest is flooded. Stroll along the paths of Tumbira, the largest community in the Reserve, or visit some of the other communities who invited us to share their lives and cultures. Enjoy a hike along an Amazon forest trail and see where Brazil nuts are harvested. You can even see a forest critter if you look hard enough!
This project was made possible in partnership with the Amazonas Sustainable Foundation (FAS), the local nonprofit conservation organization that invited us to the area. We used the Street View trike and a tripod camera with a fisheye lens—typically used to capture imagery of business interiors—to capture both the natural landscape and the local communities. In all, more than 50,000 still photos were stitched together to create these immersive, 360-degree panoramic views:
Many areas of the Amazon, including Rio Negro Reserve, are under the protection of the Brazilian government with restricted access to the public, so we hope that this Street View collection provides access to this special corner of the planet that many of us otherwise wouldn't have the chance to experience. Together with FAS, we're thrilled to help everyone from researchers and scientists to armchair explorers around the world learn more about the Amazon, and better understand how local communities there are working to preserve this unique environment for future generations.
Start exploring this portion of the Amazon and other collections around the world on the updated Street View site and gallery.
