When Gabriel steps off the train in a small Breton town, he is a complete stranger. Nobody knows where he came from or who he really is. Yet his small acts of kindness make an impression on the locals and he is soon welcomed into their community. But Gabriel may not be as straight forward as he seems, for he is troubled by his past.
The Panda Theory is a charming little French novella which might just err on the side of being a thriller. The publishers may categorise Garnier's books as "noir" but I found the characters much more engaging than I would normally in noir fiction. Gabriel is a friendly man and the majority of the book shows how he touches the lives of several people in small but meaningful ways. All the characters seem real and remain feeling French throughout the translation. Gabriel's past troubles are revealed in short flashbacks, slowly building up a picture of what he was running from.
The panda in question is a large stuffed toy Gabriel wins from the fair. He didn't really want it but it seems to hang around. The panda welcomes everyone with open arms and a cheery demeanour. Is Gabriel like the panda? I'm not telling, although I really didn't see the ending coming.
Pascal Garnier sadly died in 2010 but left behind what seems to be a large body of work, long and short, for adults and children. Gallic Books has started translating his work into English with three novellas; The Panda Theory, Where's the Pain? and The A26. I'm looking forward to reading more of his work.

Food Prot., Published Evaluation of frankfurter casings containing a biopreservative Call/Luchansky et al., J. Food Prot., Published 2004 with Hatfield, Viskase & Rhodia
USDA Frankfurter Storage Study Sample packages for Listeria monocytogenes during refrigerated storage : Part A = Determine package prevalence Part B = Estimate pathogen levels Part C = Establish pathogen types Wallace et al., 2003 J. Food Prot. 66:584-591.
USDA Frankfurter Storage Study Part A: Package Prevalence!
Distribution of Volunteer Plants 300 processors contacted 12 facilities volunteered to participate: 9 large and 3 small plants as determined by HACCP classification USDA/FSIS regions 1, 2, 3, and 4 8 USDA/FSIS districts in 10 states ~2700 pounds/packages collected from each facility by a 3 rd -party contractor
Sample Size Considerations for an Estimated L. monocytogenes Prevalence of ~3% ConfidenceError in P = 25%Error in P = 10% 80%770 samples4,809 samples 90%1,269 samples7,930 samples 95%1,802 samples11,258 samples 99%3,112 samples19,445 samples Dr. John G. Phillips, Statistician, USDA/ARS, NAA
Terms and Conditions - Industry No identification of plant name or location No inspection activities No regulatory actions or recalls No "fingerprint" data added to PulseNet
Terms and Conditions – USDA Independent 3 rd party interacts with plants Collects product, shares results with participants Normal production run, regular HACCP monitoring and GMP No special sanitation prior to production Refrigerated transport to ERRC Temperature recorders placed in select shipping boxes
Sampling Plan Day 1 = 5 days post-production 500 packages/pounds sampled Remainder of packages stored at 4° and 10°C Storage at 4°C 200 packages tested on days 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 Product tested on days 120 and 150 for some plants Storage at 10°C 200 packages tested on days 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 Product not tested on days 20 and 25 for some plants
Sampling Strategy: USDA-ARS Package Rinse Method Add 60 mL peptone water per package and rinse package contents Analyze 25 mL - enrich, isolate, & confirm Retain multiple isolates from each positive sample for subtyping Retain 35 mL at -20°C – enumerate if possible 3-tube MPN procedure (FDA/CFSAN)
USDA/ARS Package Rinse Method Six-fold more effective at recovery of L. monocytogenes than the approved USDA/FSIS product composite enrichment method because the package, the purge, and the product are tested About twice as likely to recover the bacterium from: rinse > purge > product composite Less likely to cause product contamination and more likely to decrease the time required to sample the product because it requires less hands-on manipulation of the product Luchansky et al., 2002 J. Food Prot. 65:567-570.
Proximate Composition Six packages tested from each plant 2 packages on initial sample day Day 1 = 5 days after production 2 packages after 30 days at 10°C 2 packages after 60 days at 4°C Portions of each package tested for nitrite, total phenolics, NaCl, pH, protein, moisture, ash, fat, carbohydrates, and lactic acid.

USDA Frankfurter Storage Study Part B: Pathogen Levels!
USDA-ARS Package Rinse Method: Sampling Strategy Rinse package contents with 60 mL of peptone water to recover L. monocytogenes Analyze 25 mL – determine presence and types Retain 35 mL at -20°C – enumerate if possible
Sampling Strategy: USDA-ARS Package Rinse Method Retain 35 mL at -20°C – enumerate if possible Perform 3-tube MPN test (FDA/CFSAN) Tested 157 rinsates representing all plants Rinsates held at -20 o C for 1 to 23 months Plate directly onto MOX agar Tested 100 rinsates from plant 133 after 150 days at 4 o C Rinsates held at -20 o C for 7 days
Enumeration using a 3-tube MPN Of the 157 package rinsates analyzed: Most tested negative after storage at -20 o C 50 to 80% reduction within hours/days 4.0 log 10 reduction after weeks/months 3 packages yielded 71, 95, and 191 MPN/package Plant 367 packages held for 30 days at 10 o C, contents rinsed, and rinsates stored at -20 o C for 2 months prior to MPN
Enumeration for L. monocytogenes by direct plating 100 packages from plant 133 were tested following storage at 4°C for 150 days 16 of 100 packages tested positive Rinsates were stored at -20 o C for 7 days and then plated onto MOX agar Levels from < 10 up to 9.6 x 10 4 CFU/package
Enumeration of L. monocytogenes from Plant 133 Following Storage at 4°C for 150 Days Rinsates were stored at -20 o C for 7 days
USDA Frankfurter Storage Study Part C: Pathogen Types!
USDA Frankfurter Storage Study: Pathogen Types How many different "types" of L. monocytogenes were recovered? Among 1102 isolates typed: >90% displayed ribotype "A" all of these isolates were serotype 1/2a
Molecular Subtyping Results In most instances, multiple isolates from a single package and/or from a single producer displayed the same ribotype/serotype. In some instances, it was possible to recover isolates displaying more than one ribotype/serotype from a given producer. In rare instances, multiple isolates from a single package displayed a different ribotype/serotype.
USDA Frankfurter Storage Study Part D: Concluding Remarks!
Risk Management Question Intended to Answer What is the "true prevalence" of L. monocytogenes in a high-volume, higher risk, RTE meat? Package prevalence = 1.6% (543 of 32,800) Range = 0.07 to 16%
Risk Management Question Intended to Answer How many L. monocytogenes are likely to be recovered from naturally-contaminated RTE meat? Levels ranged from 1 to 100,000 cfu/package
Risk Management Question Intended to Answer What types of L. monocytogenes are likely to be recovered from naturally-contaminated RTE meat? Some strains predominate/persist within vacuum-sealed packages - most isolates were ribotype "A" and serotype 1/2a!
Caveats! Manufacturers were not selected at random and only a single lot from each was tested Manufacturers were not reflective of all producers in USA A more effective method (ARS package rinse) was used to sample product/packages Numerous packages were sampled on several sampling days over extended storage of the product. Information was not available about the order in which the packages were produced during a given production run Enumeration was problematic because pathogen numbers decreased appreciably in rinsates during frozen storage
Lessons Learned/Improvements! What types are tolerable and under what situations? Are there differences among strains in viability or virulence - how much insight can be provided by genomics/proteomics? How often would a given plant be positive on consecutive and/or multiple visits? What is the frequency and distribution of contamination across a positive lot? Should more emphasis be placed on collecting data on pathogen levels in positive samples?
Lessons Learned/Improvements! Where does it reside and how long does it persist or predominate? How many types are present and at what levels? Where did it come from and where might it end up? What is the ecology of the bacterium in the environment and on the product – how well does it respond to stress/cues? Should more emphasis be placed on environmental sampling to compliment targeted testing of finished products?

Days at Home
The schools let out early on Friday because a large ice storm was moving in. We still haven't seen it, but we are hanging out at home. Even local churches have cancelled their services; it's supposed to be that bad. Like a solid sheet of ice. So we're finding things to do at home. As you can see, Elf is not that eager to have his photograph taken or to be blogged about now that he is an old man of 16 years of age.

A couple of Sundays ago, Dearly Beloved and I picked up my mother from the nursing home where she currently resides. We took her over to Bob Evans' Restaurant on State Road 200 for lunch.
The place was fairly busy as usual and we had to wait a few minutes to be seated. The last two times the three of us had eaten there, we had been seated at the exact same table each time.
When the hostess called our name this time to be seated, we were escorted to - would you believe it? - the exact same table, again! Three times in a row, at least a week apart. Same party, same table, in a very busy restaurant. I wonder what the odds are of that happening a fourth consecutive time?
Ocala's Richard Frow wrote: "I have a beef with the TV program booklet published weekly in the Ocala Star-Banner. On page 2, it has listed the channel numbers for QVC and HSN with the incorrect channel numbers for more than two months now. I have sent e-mails about this on two occasions, but have seen no changes. Also, the Oxygen Channel is listed on page 2, but no program listings are in the booklet, so why list it at all? Maybe you have some pull with the powers-that-be to bring about these changes."
Yes, you're right, Richard, using my Vast and Awesome Powers of Persuasion, and fortifying those with my Absolutely Astonishing Powers of the Press, I have turned your complaint over to Features Editor David Moore, who said, "The latest changes to the Cox lineup have been forwarded to our TV listings provider and should appear in the next few weeks." And, Richard, I got that in writing - well, in e-mail, anyway. Ahhhh... faster than a speeding bullet!
Dumb questions were the subject of a column not long ago. Summerfield's Tommy F. Thompson apparently doesn't know when he's well off. He wrote: "One of the dumbest questions I know is one that refers to our better half for those of us who are married. All you have to do is simply ask your wife where she would like to go eat on one of your nights out.
'It makes no difference, you choose,' she'll say.
'OK. Let's go to Chili's.'
'I don't won't to go there,' she'll state.
'All right. How about the Outback?'
'No. I don't want to go there.'
'Hey. I thought it made no difference to you where we went?'
"It makes no difference where you choose, she won't want to go there. No matter what the man comes up with, sooner or later, he's going to lose for I'm not sure if women ever really know where they want to go."
Ahem - you realize - of course - Tommy, that you're in REALLY big trouble, soon as your wife sees this, and I'm sure she'll have NO trouble at all deciding where YOU should go!
Ocala's P. Jalonese asks: "What makes the top of the inside of the refrigerator accumulate water? Is it too warm, cold, or is something wrong with the fridge? Should a surge protector light be left on or is it safer to turn it off and remove the plugs in it such as the toaster, can opener, etc.? Does it use more electricity if left on? Readers?

While he was a graduate student in 1964, at the edge of Wheeler Peak, Great Basin National Park in Nevada; he was researching the age of some of bristlecone pines by counting their tree rings. He found a particularly old specimen. Normal tree dating technology (dendrochronology) involves taking a core drill of the tree, and counting the growth rings. However the normal approach to coring the tree wasn't working because the largest available increment bores were too small. Anxious to determine the true age of the tree, he proceeded to cut it down.
As it turned out, he cut down what turned out to be the oldest known surviving organism on the planet earth. Over 4900 years old. He said it was the first tree he stumbled upon, after only 5 minutes of looking.
If you don't believe this story, I don't blame you. I didn't believe it either. But it is a true story. I seen it on the PBS show Nova.

Marriage and Family Interaction HPER F258
In your small group, discuss the experience of writing the letter. Include the following discussion points: ◦ Who mailed their letter or plans to mail it? ◦ Did anyone write to someone who had already died? ◦ Was this a positive experience or a negative one? ◦ Would you do it again?
Grief is not about abandoning the "lost love object". Grief is not about giving up the past or your connection to the loved one Grief is not about working through stages
Grief is about not interacting with that person again. Grief is about transition and change. You do not let go of your past, you transform your understanding of your past and your relationship with that person.
There is a great deal of controversy about the entire concept of stages No support in research for stage models People are drawn to stages because they give us a sense of security but… They complicate grief for people who need to believe that grief follows a set pattern.
Grief is the response of the individual to an assault on the "assumptive world" (the beliefs that we hold about how life should be) Grief is a "redefinition of normal" ◦ The reality that existed before no longer exists. You are forever changed by your loss experience.
Grief is a highly complicated, highly individual process which is dependent on: ◦ how you organize meaning; ◦ the specific assumptions that make up your assumptive world; ◦ the degree to which the death and surrounding events affect these assumptions; Includes social context ◦ the coping strategies used.
In your small group, discuss the web-based reading by Dr. Gilbert on "We've had the same loss, why don't we have the same grief?
Relates back to report talk vs rapport talk Cognitive-solitary grief ("masculine") ◦ "head-level" ◦ Need to be alone to deal with loss ◦ Can lead to isolation and emotional "freezing" Emotional-social grief ("feminine") ◦ Emotionally expressive ◦ Need company of others ◦ Can lead to getting "stuck" and alienating others
Children may respond to grief physically, emotionally, and/or behaviorally Children's grief looks very different from adults ◦ What looks to an adult like "resilience" may, in fact, be the child's efforts to cope with an emotionally and intellectually overwhelming loss. ◦ In particular, the child may use play as a mechanism to help them understand and manage the situation.
Share acknowledgement of reality of death Share experience of the pain of grief Reorganize the family system Redirect the family's relationships and goals The meaning of a death and the individual responses to it are shaped by the system of beliefs in the family.
Sharing feelings about the loss (i.e., shared meaning) ◦ facilitate communication, ◦ provide structure and meaning to their interactions, and ◦ serve as the basis for familial coping.
Differential grief – having family members at different points in their grief reconciliation and reality reconstruction process BUT family members may expect each other to be at a similar place The result is that family members may be the worst people to help each other.
LISTEN Don't make assumptions Don't take it personally Take the initiative (choices can be overwhelming) Be gentle and kind Be patient
Coping with grief in families is highly complicated. Discuss how you believe your family would respond in the face of a loss and how you would help a friend and her/his family in dealing with a loss.
Identify one thing you learned about grief that you didn't know before this lecture. Turn this in to your discussion leader.

As I continue to work on getting to 100% complete on Skylanders Spyro's Adventure (I'm at 94%) I can't help but get super excited for the all new game coming out October 21st, Skylanders Giants! Today I received the latest trailer for the game and I saw a few more giants that I hadn't seen before. I'll have to search for their names. I also learned the other day that Skylanders Giants will have special game play on the upcoming Wii U platform. This means that in addition to the game being playable Wii, Playstation, XBox, Nintendo 3Ds it will also be on Wii U. Then you have the Skylanders Universe online game and the Skylanders Cloud Patrol game for tablets and phones. Skylanders is HUGE! Check out the new trailer for Giants.
I cannot wait to get my review copy of this game. Then I'll probably start the whole cycle of looking for figures once again.

Camfil APC expands lab for new dust collection standard testing
Camfil Air Pollution Control (APC), a manufacturer of dust, mist, and fume collection equipment, has doubled the size of its testing laboratory in Jonesboro, Ark., to include a climate-controlled facility with a new, full-size dust collection test rig. The new equipment is dedicated to testing in accordance with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 199-2016, Method of Testing the Performance of Industrial Pulse Cleaned Dust Collectors.
Unlike other air filter standards that focus on HVAC systems, the Standard 199-2016 test process analyzes how well filters actually clean and how dust collectors perform as a whole. It is the first standard to provide a methodology for comparing performance results based on true operating conditions, states the company.
Using a cartridge dust collector with four high-efficiency filters, the unit feeds dust into the collector under specified conditions, measuring pressure drop and downstream emissions. Camfil will use the test rig for both internal product quality testing and to help customers simulate real-world conditions to evaluate the compliance and effectiveness of various filters.
The lab expansion also provides new testing capabilities. New equipment is available for R&D, customer support, and testing for regulatory compliance. A new, highly sensitive scanning electron microscope is equipped with the high magnification and resolution to analyze high-efficiency filtration media with nanofiber and PTFE membrane coatings. The lab also houses equipment used for bench testing of customer dust samples, including a video microscope, particle size analyzer, moisture analyzer, and abrasion testing devices.

Press release
07 Feb 2017
Researchers have shown that sessile oak is very resistant to climatic variations (temperatures and precipitation). This overall resilience nevertheless belies differential responses between populations according to their origin. The findings have recently been published in the journal Global Change Biology.
04 Nov 2016
For the first time, scientists have calculated the reduction in emissions required in agriculture to reach the goal of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 2°C by 2100. CGIAR experts at the University of Vermont (United States) and partner institutions, including INRA, show that the world's farming industries must reduce CO2 emissions by one gigaton per year between now and 2030.
23 May 2016
Extreme climatic events such as heatwaves and droughts may affect the ability of terrestrial ecosystems to sequester carbon. Recently, INRA and CNRS researchers carried out a large-scale experiment exploring this topic at the Ecotron facility in Montpellier. Using samples of permanent upland grassland, they made an unexpected discovery: elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide help grasslands recover from extreme climatic events and limit the negative impacts of water stress.
15 Jan 2016
In collaboration with the JPI-FACCE, the ERA-NET for monitoring and mitigation of greenhouse gases from agriculture and silviculture (ERA-GAS) is planning to launch a call for transnational research projects on 1st March 2016.
