Guinea, in West Africa on the Atlantic, is also bordered by Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Slightly smaller than Oregon, the country consists of a coastal plain, a mountainous region, a savanna interior, and a forest area in the Guinea Highlands. The highest peak is Mount Nimba at 5,748 ft (1,752 m).
Beginning in 900, the Susu migrated from the north and began settling in the area that is now Guinea. The Susu civilization reached its height in the 13th century. Today the Susu make up about 20% of Guinea's population. From the 16th to the 19th century, the Fulani empire dominated the region. In 1849, the French claimed it as a protectorate. First called Rivières du Sud, the protectorate was rechristened French Guinea; finally, in 1895, it became part of French West Africa.
Guinea achieved independence on Oct. 2, 1958, and became an independent state with Sékou Touré as president. Under Touré, the country was the first avowedly Marxist state in Africa. Diplomatic relations with France were suspended in 1965, with the Soviet Union replacing France as the country's chief source of economic and technical assistance.
Guinea's Presidents Elected to Several Terms
Prosperity came in 1960 after the start of exploitation of bauxite deposits. Touré was reelected to a seven-year term in 1974 and again in 1981. He died after 26 years as president in March 1984. A week later, a military regime headed by Col. Lansana Conté took power.
In 1989, President Conté announced that Guinea would move to a multiparty democracy, and in 1991, voters approved a new constitution. In Dec. 1993 elections, the president's Unity and Progress Party took almost 51% of the vote. In 2001, a government referendum was passed that eliminated presidential term limits, thus allowing Conté to run for a third term in 2003. Despite the trappings of multiparty rule, Conté has ruled the country with an iron fist.
Liberia's Civil War Takes a Toll on Guinea
Guinea has had ongoing difficulties with its neighbor Liberia, which was embroiled in a long civil war during the 1990s and again in 2000–2003. Guinea had taken sides against rebel leader Charles Taylor in Liberia's civil war and was part of the Nigerian-led ECOMOG forces that intervened in the crisis. As a consequence, President Conté's relations with Taylor remained sour after Taylor became Liberia's president in 1997. The fighting in Liberia spilled over the border into Guinea on several occasions. Sierra Leone's recent civil war also caused problems for neighboring Guinea. Already burdened by an inadequate infrastructure and a weak economy, an influx of nearly 300,000 refugees from Sierra Leone has overwhelmed the country.
Conté's Leadership Is Challenged
In Dec. 2003 President Conté was reelected to a third term. In April 2004, after two months on the job, Prime Minister Lonseny Fall resigned and went into exile, claiming that the president would not allow him to govern effectively. President Conté is in poor health, and many fear a power struggle should he die or be deposed. Anti-government demonstrators took to the streets in January and February 2007, demanding that Conté step down. In addition, labor unions went on strike, paralyzing the country. Conté, who has been criticized as being corrupt, responded by declaring martial law. The strike ended in late February when President Conté agreed to name diplomat Lansana Kouyaté as prime minister. More than 100 people died in battles with security officials during the strike.
Kouyaté was sacked in May 2008 and replaced by Ahmed Tidiane Souaré, a member of President Conté's Party of Unity and Progress. Conte died in December 2008 after 24 years in power. Junior army leaders launched a bloodless coup shortly after his death. Many citizens, fed up with years of authoritarian rule, backed the coup. Army captain Moussa Camara took over as "president of the republic." The junta established a 32-member National Council for Democracy and Development (CNDD) that replaced the government. The council said its priorities would be to wipe out corruption and improve the quality of life in Guinea. In August 2009, Camara called for presidential elections to be held in January 2010, with parliamentary elections to follow in March, thus fulfilling a pledge to call elections within two years of assuming power.
A month later, security forces opened fire at a pro-democracy demonstration at a Conakry stadium, killing nearly 160 people. The victims were among thousands protesting reports that Camara planned to run in the upcoming presidential election. The African Union, European Union, and the U.S. imposed sanctions on Guinea following the massacre, and Humans Rights Watch issued a report that said the crackdown was intended to stifle opposition to military rule. Camara survived an assassination attempt by an aide in December and sought treatment outside of Guinea. He later said he would remain in voluntary exile in Burkina Faso. General Sekouba Konaté took over as head of the military junta and eased the country toward civilian rule. He named pro-democracy opposition leader Jean-Marie Doré, who was one of the protesters beaten at the protest in September, interim prime minister in January 2010, and declared that military leaders would not run in the country's presidential race—the first democratic elections since Guinea gained independence from France in 1958.
Presidential and General Elections Open to Doubt
Konaté kept his word in the June 2010 race. The first round of the election was inconclusive, and former prime minister Cellou Dalein Diallo faced opposition leader Alpha Condé in the run-off vote. Condé, a professor and opposition leader who has spent much of his life in exile in France, prevailed in the November run-off, taking 52.5% of the vote.
Originally supposed to take place within six months of the presidential election, Guinea's first general election since 2002 finally took place in Oct. 2013—three years late. President Alpha Conde's Rally of the Guinean People (RPG) party won 53 out of 114 seats in the national assembly, which is a slim working majority. International observers reported "breaches and irregularities" in the vote.
Ebola Outbreak Kills Hundreds
An outbreak of Ebola hit Guinea in March 2014 and spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia. By September, is estimated to have killed about 430 people in Guinea, and there were nearly 650 suspected and confirmed cases of it in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control. In late August, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak an international emergency. It is the worst outbreak since the virus was first identified almost 40 years ago.
In the Oct. 2015 presidential election, President Conde won a second term. After the election, Conde appointed Guinean businessman Mamady Youla as prime minster. Youla's appointment showed Conde's focus on business, including boosting the country's private sector. Youla assumed office on Dec. 29, 2015.

Behold - the infamous Mad Monday at Toko - where $3 plates of awesome sushi can really turn your day around and provide you with the sustinence you need to start the week. As you see on the photo's above - here at Toko ,they know how resuscitate anyone from the post-weekend lull .
So yes, you read right - on Mondays, each plate on the conveyour belt, or small japanese a la carte dishes are at the bargain basement price of $3.00. And that is why I have an extra spring in my step. The day can't all be bad when there is delicious sushi involved right?
Usually there is a line out the front from noon, as the seats fill in quickly. Our strategy at work is getting there s few minutes before 12 (my office building is just behind Oxford Street so its 3 minute walk in heels). On every visit are greeted by the super friendly and bubbly manager – Hera. She is so efficient and once you step inside the first question is "How many babe?" so that she can organize seats for your group.
Toko also makes for good take-away – and edemame as an afternoon snack is awesome after that sushi coma I often find myself in. They also do an excellent blue swimmer crab maki (one of my favorites) but one of the varieties I have always wanted to try is the roast duck roll – unfortunately, its laced with coriander and I can't exactly go back to work covered in hives, such an inconvenient allergy! The restaurant is licenced too so if your the rest of your afternoon was looking bad... let's just say I have reduced my stress levels here with a glass of white on more than one occasion.
For the Karage lovers out there - You can ease the craving here – however, its not the usual salty variety. This version comes dressed with a sweet terriyaki sauce, and not Japanese mayo (of course you can request it on the side) I have stopped ordering this only because the last few times it has arrive piping hot but overcooked and dry, so I wouldn't recommend it to karage connoisseurs.
I absolutely love their fried gyoza here - They don't last on the conveyor very long as so many are quick to snap it up. My favorite is the prawn variety, but I'm never disappointed if I get the vegetarian or chicken gyosa. Of couse they have a steamed version too – but I can never say no to the crunchy parcels.

"Bob's notes" are reports from CFCA President Bob Hentzen, who regularly accompanies mission awareness trip participants. You can see Bob's full update on his Facebook page.
I find the group from Risen Christ Parish as hopeful and dynamic as its name. Here in Guatemala, we are deeply grateful for their love of our people, their presence among us, their example.
Seems like their long-term pastoral plan flows into a very natural outreach toward their neighbors at home in Colorado and in Guatemala.
These friends encountered a richly green and fertile country, but a country heavily burdened by social problems.
Entrusted with the good will and the economic help of their fellow parish members, they worked hard (sometimes under good rains) to offer three sponsored friends and their families a more dignified home.
They also encountered some 89,000 CFCA families, going forward confidently in our Hope for a Family Program.
One of the Gospels we read in San Lucas describes the storm on the Sea of Galilee, with Jesus resting peacefully.
At our Sunday morning Eucharistic celebration, Father Marcos, a visiting priest from Michigan, compared the storm to the reality of Guatemala today, in particular in San Lucas Toliman, with Father Greg Schaffer resting peacefully one month after his passing to eternal life.
With the Risen Christ group, we found a very loving reception wherever we went. We all enjoyed a beautiful circular sharing with CFCA scholars in San Andres Semetabaj.
This was followed by a free-flowing soccer game of about 30 players per team: sponsors, children, CFCA staffers and scholars.
Thank you, Risen Christ, for being with us. I want to offer special thanks to the Swan family and the youth leaders. I want to thank the pastor, staff and parents at Risen Christ for your belief in us. May God bless each family in your parish community.
The CFCA communications team in Guatemala offers this photo album of our week with the Risen Christ group. Please know of our love and thanks.

Use the following guidelines to enter and/or correct information in the fields on the screens that are presented in either of the situations above.
5.1 The ISBN number
The ISBN can normally be found on the copyright page of a book. It is often found on the back flap of a book jacket or the back cover of a paperback, as well.
This field is optional since older books, and even some new books, do not contain an ISBN. Bookshare strongly encourages submitters or proofreaders to enter it, however, if the ISBN is included in the book.
Please enter the 13-digit ISBN if it is available.
5.2 Title
Occasionally, the title on the cover of the book will be different from the title inside the book. Check the copyright page to see what the official title is.
If the book is part of a series of books, please add the series number to the title. For example, "The Hidden (Animorphs #39)" or "Dark Force Rising (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy Vol. 2)".
If there are multiple editions of the book, please add the edition number to the title. For example, "Financial Accounting (8th edition)".
If you are submitting an improved copy of a book that's already in the library please add "BSO-" in front of the title of the book. This tells an administrator that this book should replace the one currently in the library with the same title and author. For example, "BSO-Eye of the Needle" or "BSO-The Tale of Peter Rabbit".
Of course, the title should be in the same language as the content of the book.
Also, the title should not be in all caps or in all lowercase.

5.4 Copyright holder
Enter the name(s) of the copyright holder(s), , for the copyright notice which is associated with the latest copyright date as based on the guidelines in the next section.
Do NOT follow the guidelines for entering authors. Instead enter the name(s) of the copyright holder(s), EXACTLY as stated in the copyright notice.
A. One or more copyright holders
For the first example below, since the copyright notice for "The Hunt for Red October" is "Copyright © 1984 by Jack Ryan Enterprises, Ltd.", then enter "Jack Ryan Enterprises, Ltd." into the "Copyright Holder" field. Ensure that all punctuation, as well as "Inc.", "Corp.", or "Ltd." are included if you find them in the name of the copyright holder.
_The Hunt for Red October
Tom Clancy
Copyright © 1984 by Jack Ryan Enterprises, Ltd._
Another example is the copyright section of "Dragon's Kin":
_Dragon's Kin
Anne McCaffrey and Todd McCaffrey
Ballantine Books
Copyright © 2003 by Anne McCaffrey and Todd J. McCaffrey_
Here the copyright holder is "Anne McCaffrey and Todd J. McCaffrey", not Anne McCaffrey, Todd J. McCaffrey.
B. Multiple copyright notices
Sometimes several pieces of a book will have different copyright holders - the preface, the illustrations, the text, the graphics, the afterwords, etc. Use the name of the copyright holder of the latest copyright notice of the text. Ignore all the other copyright notices.
For example, this is the copyright section for "The Abyss":
_The ABYSS
A Novel by Orson Scott Card based on an original screenplay by James Cameron
Copyright © 1989 by Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
Afterword by James Cameron copyright © 1989 by James Cameron
Afterword by Orson Scott Card copyright © 1989 by Orson Scott Card_
Here the copyright holder is "Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation", not James Cameron or Orson Scott Card. James Cameron and Orson Scott Card are the copyright holders of the Afterwards, not the main text.
C. No copyright holder
If there is no copyright holder, please reject the book. All books must have a valid copyright holder.
D. Help determining the correct copyright holder
If you are unsure what copyright holder to use, you may send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the entire copyright section pasted in the email. Alternatively, you can post the question on the volunteer discussion list.
5.5 Copyright date
If there are several copyright notices for the text, NOT including copyright notices for the preface, introduction, illustrations, afterwords, or short stories, then use the copyright notice with the most recent date.
A. Individual books
This can be tricky, so here are a number of examples:
_How to Stop Worrying and Start Living
Copyright 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948 by Dale Carnegie
Copyright © 1984 by Donna Dale Carnegie and Dorothy Carnegie_
The most recent copyright date is 1984 and the copyright holders associated with that date are "Donna Dale Carnegie and Dorothy Carnegie".
_How to Win Friends and Influence People
Copyright © 1936 by Dale Carnegie
Copyright renewed © 1964 by Donna Dale Carnegie and Dorothy Carnegie
Revised edition copyright © 1981 by Donna Dale Carnegie and Dorothy Carnegie_
The most recent copyright date is 1981 and the copyright holders associated with that date are "Donna Dale Carnegie and Dorothy Carnegie".
B. Omnibus with a separate copyright notice
In the example below, the copyright date is 2003 and the copyright holder is "David Weber" since he's the copyright holder of the entire short story collection, where the other people are copyright holders of only their short stories.
_The Service of the Sword: Worlds of Honor #4
Copyright © 2003 by David Weber._
"Promised Land" © 2003 by Jane Lindskold, "With One Stone" © 2003 by Timothy Zahn, "A Ship Named Francis" © 2003 by John Ringo and Victor Mitchell, "Let's Go to Prague" © 2003 by John Ringo, "Fanatic" © 2003 by Eric Flint, "The Service of the Sword" © 2003 by David Weber.
The following omnibus edition was previously published in separate volumes.
_Ngaio Marsh: Five Complete Novels
Copyright © 1983 by the Estate of Ngaio Marsh All Rights Reserved.
Scales of Justice Copyright © 1955 by Ngaio Marsh
Death of a Fool Copyright © 1956 by Ngaio Marsh
Tied Up in Tinsel Copyright © 1972 by Ngaio Marsh, Ltd.
Grave Mistake Copyright © 1978 by Ngaio Marsh Ltd.
Photo Finish Copyright © 1980 by Ngaio Marsh, Ltd._
This 1983 edition is published by Avenel Books, distributed by Crown Publishers, Inc., by arrangement with Little, Brown and Company, Inc.
In the above example, the copyright date is 1983 and the copyright holder is "the Estate of Ngaio Marsh" (NOT Ngaio Marsh or Ngaio Marsh Ltd.) because the Estate of Ngaio Marsh is the copyright holder of the entire collection, while the other names are copyright holders of the original separate volumes. The publishing and distributing statement should not be used to determine the copyright information.
C. Omnibus without a separate copyright notice
In the case where the book is an omnibus of several books, and the omnibus does not contain a separate copyright notice - due to it not containing any new material which would require a copyright notice - then enter the date associated with the most recent copyright notice from among the books included in the omnibus.
"Protector of the Small" is an example of an omnibus where the omnibus itself doesn't have a copyright notice.
_First Test Copyright © 1999 by Tamora Pierce
Publishing History: Random House Hardcover, May 1999; Random House paperback, May 2000
Page Copyright © 2000 by Tamora Pierce
Publishing History: Random House Hardcover, May 2000; Random House paperback, May 2001
Squire Copyright © 2001 by Tamora Pierce
Publishing History: Random House Hardcover, May 2001; Random House paperback, August 2002
Lady Knight Copyright © 2002 by Tamora Pierce
Publishing History: Random House Hardcover, August 2002; Random House paperback, August 2003
First SFBC Science Fiction Printing: November 2004_
In this example, the copyright notice for the last book in the series must be used since it has the most recent copyright date. Thus the copyright date to be recorded is 2002 and the copyright holder is "Tamora Pierce". The publisher name wasn't explicitly provided, but it's the Science Fiction and Fantasy Bookclub as identified in the last line of this example by its acronym ("SFBC"). The subsequent years of 2003 (for "Lady Knight") and 2004 (for the omnibus) are associated with the publishing history only and cannot be used for copyright dates.
As a final example, more recently, the two books by Dale Carnegie (that were mentioned in earlier examples) have been reprinted together. While each book contains multiple copyright dates and copyright holders, the collection itself has no separate copyright notice.
_How to Stop Worrying and Start Living
Copyright 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948 by Dale Carnegie
Copyright © 1984 by Donna Dale Carnegie and Dorothy Carnegie
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Copyright © 1936 by Dale Carnegie
Copyright renewed © 1964 by Donna Dale Carnegie and Dorothy Carnegie
Revised edition copyright © 1981 by Donna Dale Carnegie and Dorothy Carnegie_
After a review of the copyright notices from both books, the most recent copyright date to be applied for this omnibus is 1984 and the copyright holders are "Donna Dale Carnegie and Dorothy Carnegie".
D. No copyright date
If there is no copyright date, please reject the book. All books must have a valid copyright date.
E. For help determining the correct copyright date
If you are unsure what copyright date to use, you may send an email to email@example.com with the entire copyright section pasted in the email. Alternatively, you can post the question on the volunteer discussion list.
5.6 The Brief synopsis
In the next field, include a brief synopsis for the book. This can be written in the submitter's own words, or may be copied from the book itself (provided it is from the book publisher and not from a quotation by someone else). Do not use any part of a quote or a review that has been attributed to a person, magazine, or newspaper, or a review from an on-line bookseller's website such as Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble. You may find the information on the front or back covers of the book helpful in writing your synopsis. Feel free to use it, but again, please do not select content from book reviews or other quoted material. The synopsis must be in the same language as the book being submitted and less than 250 characters in length, including spaces. As there is nothing to alert the submitter if the synopsis is too long until after the book has been submitted, many submitters find it useful to write the synopsis in a word processor or other program with a character count feature before submitting to ensure that the synopsis is not too long. If the synopsis is too long, the book will not be successfully submitted and the submitter will have to correct the problem. Writing the synopsis ahead of time in a word processor also allows the synopsis to be spell checked before it is copied and pasted into the field.
5.7 The Long synopsis
This field may contain a longer synopsis for the book, either in the submitter's own words or taken from the book jacket. If the longer synopsis is copied from the book, the submitter should state this clearly. Synopsis material may not be drawn from sources such as online booksellers. Do not use any part of a quote or a review that has been attributed to a person, magazine, or newspaper, or a review from an on-line bookseller's website such as Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble. The synopsis should be less than 2500 characters, approximately 500 words long and in the language of the book. Writing the synopsis ahead of time in a word processor will allow it to be spell checked before it is copied and pasted into the field.
5.8 The Comments box
Enter any information which would help a volunteer proofread the submission as well as any information that an administrator might find helpful when approving the book.
For example, if the copyright page is at the back of the book instead of the front, or if the ISBN is on the back cover but not inside the book, please mention these things in this section of the form.
Volunteers can also copy and paste the book's copyright notice into this section to help make the approval process easier or to help explain how the book's copyright was verified if verification is requested by an administrator.
Optionally, proofreaders would also appreciate it if you included your e-mail address when submitting a book since it will allow them to contact you if they encounter a problem that requires your help.
5.9 Guidelines for marking books "Adult"
Bookshare maintains a policy on Adult Content as explained later in this manual. Please use your best judgment for determining adult content. While we understand and respect that different people have different standards for what is acceptable subject matter, a general guideline to consider is this: in a large well-stocked bookstore, would somebody under the age of 18 be able to get this book off the shelf, pay for it, and walk away. Books of an obvious explicit sexual nature or that incite hate should be considered adult content. If unsure, mark the book as Adult Content, and explain in one or two sentences what about the content of the book warrants this selection in the comments field.
Note that Bookshare reserves the right to make the final decision as to whether or not a book is considered adult content. See
A. Adult Content policy, in the section: 6.5 Legal information.

What is the Performance Triad?
The Performance Triad is a comprehensive U.S. Army initiative that gets back to the basics of health: sleep, activity, and nutrition. It is being rolled out as part of the System for Health and is designed to build and sustain Soldier health in order to optimize personal and unit performance, resilience, and readiness. Soldiers should focus on all three components of the triad equally.
The Performance Triad pilot started in September of 2013 at battalions on Fort Bliss, Fort Bragg, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord. It includes educational resources and technological tools for both leaders and soldiers. Soldiers learn to train like elite athletes—and this resilience training is a key aspect of military education from the time a Soldier starts until the time of separation or retirement from the Army and beyond. Components of the triad will be rolled out over the next year, so keep your eye out for more information to be added to the initiative.
What are the three focal areas of the Triad?
The Triad focuses on three critical components of performance: sleep, physical activity, and nutrition. Sleep, activity, and nutrition interact, so it's important to pay equal attention to all of them to achieve readiness and performance above and beyond.
- Sleep seven to eight hours every day.
- Finish physical activity three hours before bedtime.
- Create a "wind-down routine" for the 30–60 minutes before bedtime.
- Stop consuming caffeine six hours before bedtime.
- Seek help if you have sleep problems for more than two weeks.
Physical Activity
- Vary workouts and include strength, endurance, balance, agility and coordination
- Warm up.
- Decrease inactivity (sitting) time.
- Walk 10,000 steps a day.
- Manage injuries quickly.
- Eat good-quality food.
- Stay well hydrated.
- Be informed about dietary supplements.
- Focus on whole foods.
Getting Started
Head to the Performance Triad website section to begin your journey. You will find news, tip cards, training sessions, and more.
The Triad also highlights some apps, devices, and websites that can help you on your performance quest. For example:
- The Performance Triad app provides the latest information on how to improve your sleep, physical activity, and nutrition behaviors. It's available on iOS and Android devices.
- H.E.A.L.T.H. Application is an app that you and your family can use. It's based on the Army Physical Fitness test standards and gives you personalized performance plans.
- Personal Fitness Devices can help monitor your sleep, nutrition, and activity.
- Army Fit is a website designed as part of CSF2 to support you (and your family) by providing health and wellness information.

What the #ebola pandemic reveals (again) about the world systemic vulnerabilities – #systemsthinking #vsm #labso
Out of a discussion on LinkedIn, I wrote the following:
Regarding the Ebola pandemic, at first we, the outsiders of Africa, didn't notice, then we didn't believe, then we didn't invest, then we weren't prepared, then we're stuck by the huge implications of what might happen, then bounded rationality kicked in and we blinded ourselves to what ought to be done.
Sounds like a reinforcing loop (the epidemic archetype) running faster then the structural adaptation of the minds (cf. works of Maturana & Varela) getting progressively (though exponentially) involved in the system at play.
It seems to be our modern living habits (cheap international travels – flights, trains, cars), dense inhabiting zones, etc have created systems into which both information and viruses spread faster than the speed at which we can think, adapt and react.
This conclusion, for me, supports the idea that we need to change the way we address that high-speed complexity (high interconnectedness). More than ever, we don't have the requisite variety to tackle it, whether static or, now, dynamic. More than ever we need skills in facilitation of big groups to achieve collective intelligence. This is what we've tried to do by creating the Labso, Laboratory of Social Technologies: showing people how easy it is to tap into the power of the crowd and social networks by uncovering what works and why and making more of it, if not co-creating something bigger.
I hereby also predicts that this won't be enough in the near future, on two accounts:
- connectivity will continue increase both in the number of connections and in the speed (because of technology)
- AND because by going to mass facilitation, we're just solving a short term problem and contributing to the acceleration as well.
My personal solution to the near future (or present situation for some problems) is to accelerate further by sticking close to the geographical area, trust it to handle the local situation properly, and only signal/ask for help "upwards" when the need arises.
Sounds like a global Viable System Model to me, don't you think?

Real world numbers
Real world numbers
I can give you my experiences to date. I've driven 1511 miles since November 2nd and used 584.5 kW/h with an average of 363 Wh/mi.
With the 85kWh pack your normal is said to be around 78 kWh in normal charge. 78,000 / 363 = 214 miles per charge.
Now I'm in Ohio and using heat every time I get into the car. I've made a lot of short trips which raise my numbers. Longer trips will do much better because everything will be warmed up. I've seen on the highway driving 70-75 MPH usage of 302 Wh/Mi which would give 258 miles. You can always charge in range mode for another 10 percent of capacity.
Hope this helps,
Sig #121 - Performance & 19" Wheels
Here's my stats for the first 31 days of driving my Model S 85KW battery, 21" wheels:
Miles driven: 1800
Average Energy Used: 350 WHr/Mile
Total Energy Used: 630KWhr ($75.60 at 12 cents/KWHr)
Gasoline saved: 72 gallons of premium gasoline based on 25MPG on a similar performing car ($288.00 at $4-/gal)
Net savings in fuel bill = $212.40
I'm in California, so temperature is mild, but still need the heater in the morning.
I don't have a clue as to how the battery will degrade over time. I imagine there will be some degradation in range, but doubt that performance will suffer (my opinion...not based on any facts).
I expect to drive about 20K miles per year.
dahtye - where in CA do you live?
12 c / kWH seems low to me. I'm on a standard residential rate in PG&E territory. I know my *lowest* block of power every month starts about there, but my highest block is over 30 c / kWH. As I evaluate my purchase, realizing that any electricity I use charging my Tesla will be above and beyond what I'm already using, that means in effect I'll be paying 30 c / kWH.
Still cheaper than gas, but definitely making me investigate solar.
How do you manage to pay 12c/kWh in CA ?
All the charging is pushing me into tier4 that is 34c/kWh.
1,800mi at 378Wh/mi average, so 650kWh or $231.
Not all of it was at 34c, but most, plus once you're in tier4, you're paying 34c for *all* energy you're using not just for charging (E1 rate).
Same here (you beat me to it).
Someone driving an ICE car with 30+mpg at $4 a gallon will probably spend less on fuel than we on electricity.
If the price goes up again to $5 a gallon, you need a 40mpg car.
That's a bit harder to find, but doable with good diesel engines.
Solar definitely makes sense, but only if you can produce enough to stay in tier1/tier2 pricing.
Given the PGE baseline usage, that translates into an 9kw (or larger) PV system...
nitpicky: it is kWh. Not KWhr or kWH or KWHr or kW/h.
It is not an acronym, it is an unit of energy. kWh. Kilowatt-hour. k as in kilo meaning thousand, W as in Watt and h as in hour.
kW is unit of power. Battery pack is not 85kW, it is more like 400kW.
OK, the post on CA electric prices was shocking enough to get me out of bed to check our bill. What does 30 and 34 cents refer to? We pay 7.19 cents per kWh in CT locked in from Dominion for a year (similar current offers below) for zero up to our max 400A/240V service plus 6 or so cents per kWh transmission/etc, no tax. Are we talking different units of measure?
Wow, I used to complain about my electricity bill, now I'm thankful!!! Here in Burlington Ontario we're on Time of Day billing. We just went into winter rates:
- 11.8 cents per kilowatt hour for on-peak usage (from 7 am to 11 am, and from 5 pm to 7pm weekdays);
- 9.9 cents per kilowatt hour for mid-peak usage (from 11 am to 5 pm weekdays); and,
- 6.3 cents per kilowatt hour for off-peak usage (from 7 pm to 7 am weekdays and all day on weekends and holidays).
According to the Charge Calculator, a 300KM charge at off peak will cost me $3.71 (at $0.07). I can't wait!
I thnik that's what they'er paying per kWh in Cal. PG&E has probably got the highest rates in the US. That's another reason PV systems make real good sense in CAL., not just because of all the sunny days they have there.
Personally, we only pay .069 - to .087 cents/kWh here in VA., depending on the time of year, not day or night time (Peak or off Peak).
Sorry, it's 6.9 - 8.7 cents. The way I wrote it, should have said dollars.
Hey Stark,
I'm in Toronto and noticed the same thing. We really get a great deal in Ontario. This will cost me about 1/10th of what I'm used to spending on fuel...
Can't wait also!
Time of day billing is the best option for charging our cars. In BC we are charged based on usage tiers, $.068 and $.102. That means that you will always pay $.102 for charging unless you live like a hermit!
I admit, I was against time of day billing when it was announced. My wife runs her business out of our house and I thought our bills would go through the roof. Turns out that by adjusting our habits a bit (program the dishwasher for off peak, do laundry on weekend etc.) our bills have actually gone down a bit. I'm still looking to put in some solar though. There are few companies around now that I'm checking out that will lease your roof and pay for the install and maintenance of the PV system. They sell electricity to the power company at a fixed rate. Seems to be a good way to escape the upfront costs of a PV system.
In the late 90s when I calculated the cost for solar it was around 25-30 cents a kWh including maintenance over 20 years. Since I pay 5-7 cents in MO I never bothered to get them. If you are paying anything over 25 cents per kWh then I would recommend calling Solar City.
My late 1990s actual cost calculation has probably dropped quite a bit.
Sergiyz has it right for PG&E.
Your first kWh is about 12 cents, but before you know it you're paying 34 c / kWh.
sergiyz, have you looked into the special EV rates? They allow you to get a second meter just for charging your EV, and it would be on its own rate schedule (that is, starting down at 12 c / kWh). Trick is, you might have to pay to install a second service to the house, which I've read could cost up to $2,000.
I live in Northern California and put in a 5 kW system in 2004. We have E-7 time of use metering from PGE and my electric bill went from $4000/year to $200/year. The system paid for itself in 5 years. We pay 7 cents/kWh off peak when I will be charging. PGE pays me 34 cents/kWh during the day when I am producing excess electricity.
The price of solar panels has come down dramatically in the past several years and the payoff period for most systems will likely be even less.
As mentioned above you can also put in a dedicated system for EV and pay 4 cents/kWh for charging. Unfortunately PGE requires a one time meter fee in addition to a dedicated line. If you have the roof space and enough sun, solar is the way to go. You can also sleep better at night knowing that your electricity is coming (mostly) from the sun and not from burning fossil fuels.
I'm in the process of installing an 8.4kw system in New Mexico. I'm doing the installation myself and the total cost is $14000. Less than $10000 after the fed tax credit. My cost per kwh will be ~$0.03 over a 20 year life.
I live in Santa Clara, CA (just 20 minutes from Freemont, CA) and I pay 8 cents/kwh during off peak.
Crusader, where are you located?
Your Watts/mile depends a lot on both driving conditions and driving habits.
We live in Minnesota and have been testing real world range on a standard charge. With ambient temps around 70-80, we get an estimated range of 237, on full range charge it is right around 265. In the short time we had temps like that we were able to get that easily and could probably beat it.
With temps in the 20s we tend to get around 380W/mile or about 2.6 miles per kWh. Or estimates of 180-190 on a standard charge, which would probably be 200-210 on a full charge.
This is running the HVAC on full auto at 70. We basically are looking for worst case taking no energy saving tactics (such as using seat heaters rather than cabin HVAC.
But again, if you don't need the heater, or have to deal with the higher air density of colder air or the higher rolling resistance of snowy roads, the real life range will be much better.
Oh, and to your second question, no one knows for sure. However, our Roadster experienced less than a 3% range loss over 27,000 miles and about 27 months.
And just so you have a data point, we have had the Model S for 7 weeks and have 3000 miles on it.
@wrcrushers - what res # are you? Even if you ordered today you should get your car around next July. There should be no more 12 month waits if you are in US.
Is it possible for me to get some info from you about your PV set up. I'm in the process of building a house and would like to add this to the construction process. Thanks
With regards to "Now I'm in Ohio and using heat every time I get into the car. I've made a lot of short trips which raise my numbers. Longer trips will do much better because everything will be warmed up. I've seen on the highway driving 70-75 MPH usage of 302 Wh/Mi which would give 258 miles. You can always charge in range mode for another 10 percent of capacity."
I thought that you could pre warm/cool the car while its still plugged in so that the cost of bringing the car up/down to temperature is not an issue. I understand that this is controlled by an smart phone app that may not be available yet, but I also recall something about the car learning your driving habits and doing the warming/cooling thing automatically if it knows your going to work every day at 7:30
Does anyone have any experience with this?
PS, I am not on the reservation list as I am living in Europe and would very much like to see one physically and know the price point here prior to committing (I hope its not going to be like Apple products that are quite a bit more expensive here in Europe even considering the tax differentials and the inclusion/exclusion of tax on the advertised prices).
Seems there will be wild differences all over Urp; Denmark, Finland, Norway etc. find the MS to be an econobox in price because of taxes. Your Mileage Will Definitely Vary depending on where you live.
TM's policy has been to avoid profiteering, and to mark cars up only 1:1 for transport and exchange and local taxes. E.g., it marked cars for Can. up only after a long battle to have import duties excluded under NAFTA had failed.
I think here in Mississauga we get TOU billing in the Winter during recharge hours (overnight) at 6.3 cents per KwH:
To top it off I am trying to convince my workplace to let me use their test solar installation to recharge when I park.
We can't wait. Hopefully the wife and I will be riding the Model S train in March. :-)
Last night I charged my S to 270 rated miles. My trip was 190 miles round-trip. My average speed was 75 MPH. It was raining, so I was using my wipers and front defrost most of the trip up and back (as well as sound-system, front lights, and fog lights). It also sat for about six hours without any charging.
I was able to keep my projected range within ten to twenty miles of my rated range, and made it home with 45 miles of charge left. Thus I lost about 30 miles of total range. This was a good test for me, as I now know how much loss is accumulated in a long trip without traffic, at night, and using the majority of my electronic features.
The rate one pays for electricity will obviously very much effect the economy of driving an EV such as the Model S. (We can hardly wait to get ours). We live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains/Foothills of California, near Yosemite, and have a 7.2 KW solar array providing electricity for our all electric home where we heat/cool with a geothermal heat pump and cook with an induction cook top.
We are PG&E customers, and generate more electricity than we use in the summer with afternoon rates of $0.27/ kWh. In the winter we use more electricity than we generate, but as we are heating our home with a rate of $0.10 a kWh, we come very close to breaking even on our electrical bill for the year. In all months, the electricity generated by the solar panels keeps us within our baseline allowance and thus at the lowest rates.
With an electric vehicle, PG&E offers a (single meter) plan E-9A, where the off peak rates, when we would charge the S, drop to $0.037/kWh in the summer and $0.047/kWh in the winter. Thus since having an EV combined with solar will not only allow very low cost charging, but will also likely LOWER our overall electricity bill! This E-9A rate schedule will cut in half the cost to heat our home in the winter and also slightly raises to $0.30/kWh the summer afternoon rates where we generate most of our excess power. Thus in California at least, the combination of solar and an EV seems to be a real winner.
@dstiavnicky , @Stark.
I'm in Georgetown and looking forward to getting my Tesla soon.
How long have you had your car for, and how does the car handle our icy roads?
Have you noticed any change increase in charging costs during the winter months? (I would expect it to take longer to charge due to a colder battery, and hence use more electricity)
Thanks for those that input data so far.
While the sample set is small so far, the avg W/mile is 340 for about 6500 miles driven. All three cars are 85 kwh batteries with one non-performance.
As more people enter their data it will be interesting to see how options such as wheel size plays out on these numbers.
Here is the form:
I checked with FPL for rates in Florida; however, they do not make sense. You can get on a program with lower rates for off-peak hours when you charge your car, but in doing so, you have to agree to a higher rate during the peak hours when you are running an AC system for your house. Cost doesn't warrant the change in SWFL unless you drive 2.4 million miles a year,LOL.
Our situation is a bit different in that our heating costs (electric) are much greater than our summer AC costs because of our elevation and the insulation in the house. Our solar panels generate far more electricity than our house uses during the high $ summer hours so a rate system where juice is more expensive on a summer afternoon and cheaper on a winter night will work well for us. Now I just need my Model S to make it all work!

Hayes, Dream down Shock
Atlanta, GA – Tiffany Hayes had 21 points in the Atlanta Dream's 98-81 win over the Tulsa Shock in the season opener for both teams.
Sancho Lyttle added 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Dream, who lost to the defending-champion Indiana Fever in last season's Eastern Conference semifinals.
Angel McCoughtry finished with 16 points in the win.
The WNBA's third overall draft pick Skylar Diggins made her debut and netted 15 points for Tulsa, which is coming off a 9-25 mark. Riquna Williams tallied 16 of her 22 points in the second quarter in defeat.
Hayes scored eight points during a 21-6 Atlanta run that bled into the second to help the Dream take a 34-18 lead before Diggins sunk a jumper to claw the Shock within 48-44 heading into the break.
Atlanta, though, began the second half on a 10-2 burst and pulled away from there.

Where to find a tall cake mould - panettone type
In my home country, people bake lots of cakes. Tall cakes. When I say tall, I mean the height of one would be roughly the same as its diameter. Sort of like a very big muffin :)
The problem is, I can't find any tall moulds here in the UK. Maybe there are some and I just don't know what they are called? Something like a panettone mould would do me, but alas, there aren't any panettone tins under £18 apiece and I'm not paying that thank you very much! At the end of the day, if I don't find one here, I could always bring one back from my home country and it'll only cost me a fiver. That's if I don't forget, again :-S
In the absence of a proper tin, I've been baking my cakes in a saucepan... not ideal either, because saucepans don't tend to be as tall as they are wide, but it's not too bad.
Does anyone know where to get a panettone-type thing in the UK? For under £10 if possible?
Many thanks.

Both times I've been up Mt. Hamilton Road in the past month, strange things happened. First, the road was closed at Crothers. No explanation and not even an official vehicle blocking the road.
Then today I see two sheriff's cars zooming by on the way up Mt. Hamilton following a car that was also zooming. They didn't have lights on. Strangely, the car turned around and parked at the Grandview Restaurant and the sheriffs followed. Minutes later the sheriffs were both driving up the road and then just as quickly turned around. Weird.
At the observatory I went inside at noon and took the tour to see the 36-inch refractor. Well worth the visit.
In finally saw the new bike lanes in San Jose, on 10th Street next to San Jose State. I think they're a bit strange to look at.

Several Python packages are best installed with a Windows installer. But those installers install to the system-wide Python directory. How do I set the Python path in QGIS?
I tried setting PYTHONPATH as a Windows environment variable. It can import netCDF4 (which is installed globally), but the import doesn't succeed because it cannot load a DLL. So perhaps also some DLL load path needs to be adjusted?

Root Grafting
Grafting is a horticultural operation which consists in placing together the two cut surfaces of different plants in such a way that they shall unite and become an organic unity. The rooted plant which is to receive the graft is called the 'stock'; the cutting which is to be applied to the stock, and to obtain its nourishment from it, is called the 'scion'. This illustration shows the Root method of grafting.

text: I apologize for this recipe ahead of time. The other day I was in hurry and threw this together, so I really don't have exact measurements. I thought that I would have it tweaked by today, but no such luck. I will try to break it down for you better in the next few weeks. I will send out an updated version when I can do that. Therefore, you can play with it on your own if you like or wait for my update. Either way, I do know that it turned out great. Okay, just played with this today and have some better measurements for you. 6 oz. shredded hashbrowns (thawed), 1/4 stick of butter (melted), 1/2 C pepperjack cheese, 1/2 C sharp cheddar cheese, 1/2 C ham (chopped), 2 eggs, 1/4 C milk and salt, pepper, horseradish and mustard to taste. Pepperjack and Ham Hashbrown Casserole - Serves 2 Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix thawed out hashbrowns with some melted butter. Stir together and press into a bottom of a loaf pan, casserole dish or whatever you have. I was only serving 1, so I used a small square casserole dish. Bake for approx 25 minutes until edges are brown. Let cool completely! Mix together rest of ingredients and pour over cooled hashbrowns and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes

Great News! The state legislature has passed the PBCC's Dense Breast Notification Act. This legislation, sponsored by PA Sen. Robert Mensch, will require radiologists in Pennsylvania to notify women of their breast density. From here, the bill goes to PA Governor Tom Corbett for his signature before it becomes law. Thank you for contacting your state lawmakers to support this important legislation.
YOU made it happen!
Dense breast tissue increases a woman's risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer at a later, more dangerous, less treatable stage. Many women with dense breast tissue do not know they have it, and a mammogram may not be enough to detect a lump or irregularity in the breast. The Dense Breast Notification Act will change that.
"This legislation will save lives. On behalf of the PA Breast Cancer Coalition and the thousands of women in Pennsylvania who may now become more educated about their own breast health, I want to thank our state lawmakers for their efforts in passing The Dense Breast Notification Act," said PBCC President and Founder Pat Halpin-Murphy. "We commend PA Sen. Robert Mensch, PA Sen. Pat Vance, PA Rep. Matthew Baker. PA Rep. Karen Boback and PA Rep. Mike Turzai for their hard work, dedication and passion for this critical issue. This vote can and will make a difference."
"Dense breast tissue is a relatively common condition, but it can hide abnormalities and complicate early detection of breast cancer," said bill Sponsor PA Sen. Robert Mensch. "Notification will allow women to know their own breast density. With that information, they can talk to their doctor about what their breast density rating means and whether they are at a higher risk for breast cancer. That's a discussion that should happen, and this bill ensures that women will have the information in hand to have that discussion."
Each day, 32 women in Pennsylvania are diagnosed with breast cancer. The PBCC's mission is to help find a cure for breast cancer and to improve the quality of breast cancer education, research, programming and outreach in the state. The Dense Breast Notification Act can assure that every woman who receives a mammogram is informed of her breast density along with the potential risk factors and additional screening options available.

Rated 5 / 5 - Even if we had a lower offer we knew from the start that it mattered to have a good bus for a long trip. We turned to them because they sent pictures with the luxury bus. We were in love so we booked with them until Budapest. Excellent service.
Rated 5 / 5 - Outstanding service in Malaga. The drivers were very friendly and helpful. We have been requesting a lot of changes on the initial reservations. There was no problem for them. I would give 10 stars not 5.
Rated 5 / 5 - Airport transfer was perfect. Driver was there on time waiting with a sign as arranged. For the 3 hour tour we arranged the suggestions of the driver were excellent we even added one extra hour for lunch. Very good service

Does anyone have a survivor picture of the way a trunk mat is supposed to be cut for the spare tire hold down bracket welded to the floor of the trunk? I have a convertible but am guessing a coupe would be cut the same way.

"Spring Awakening" in Denver: Tidbits and leftovers
Images from the national touring production of "Spring Awakening." Photos by Paul Kolnik and Joan Marcus.
So I was invited back for a second viewing of "Spring Awakening" in Denver on Wednesday, sitting on the stage where real audience members mingle with the actual ensemble. It's a terrific conceit, bridging the generations from the 1891 source story to today. You can read more about the experience tomorrow in a new blog post by our pop-music critic, Ricardo Baca, who attended the show with me, not ever having heard the music before.
How did he like it? Well, today I schlepped through the single-digit temperatures with Mr. Baca to the Denver Center box office, where he purchased eight more tickets, spread over three upcoming performances. So, I'd say he was impressed. He'll have seen it four times in two weeks by the time the show leaves Denver Dec. 13. Look for his blog posting on all things "Spring Awakening" here sometime tomorrow.
Metaphor for what? So in today's review of the national touring production, I passed on a little inside information I had picked up from my advance interview with playwright Steven Sater. He had told me that, to him, the predatorial kiss that Hanschen lays on little lamb Ernst is not so much an exploration of bi-curiosity as a metaphor for capitalism. Lacking the space required to elaborate, I said it and moved on, causing a few readers to respond, "Say what?"
This scene, the reprise to "The Word of Your Body," is the gay counterpart to an earlier moment between Melchior and Wendla. I asked if he had felt any pressure from producers to stage it more modestly than the sex scene between Melchior and Wendla. Sater's response:
"It's very very funny because Hanschen is this terrifying, scary character, and Ernst is this innocent mouse. In some cities, the response to the kiss is complete silence. They don't react to it. There is a bit of shock. But here in Orange County (Calif.), they are whooping when they are kissing. It's so interesting how people react to that.
"But no, I don't think there was any sense that that scene should be any less explicit. It's just a different kind of scene. That scene to me was always about capitalism. It was about this young proto-Nazi omnivore who is going to break this little boy's heart. Here's this little boy who wants him so much and yearns so badly for him, and then this other guy who is just going to pretend that it never happened. But I do think there is a moment of joy and something ecstatic in the scene between those two boys. No pressure. And it's not cut off. I don't think the boys do much more than what we see."
And by the way, can I just say here what I didn't have enough room to say today: That Andy Mientus, as Hanschen, is the rock of this rock musical.
Talk about public displays of affection! When I interviewed Jake Epstein in advance of the tour's visit to Denver, I asked him, in effect, "So, hey, what's it like simulating your first sexual experience in front of a couple thousand people eight times a week. His response:
"It's really, genuinely scary, and I think that's what keeps that scene so alive. Acting out this love story in front of people … I know it sort of shocks the audience, but it's just as sort of shocking for me, which keeps it alive every day."
I also asked Jake about coming of age as a star of the addictive Canadian teen soap "Degrassi: The Next Generation," and that will be included in Sunday's weekly theater column at www.denverpost.com/theater.
Bet you didn't know this: The show, according to Sater, is structured so that intermission represents the rupture of the hymen (which, when you think of it that way, it pretty obvious).
Bet you didn't know this, either: When Melchior sings his first song ("All That's Known,") the male chorus continues to rhythmically recite from Virgil's "Aeneid." Or are they? An urban legend of the show claims the kids are merely chanting curse words in Latin. Much as I'd like to confirm the rumor, I think it's most likely bogus. Six years of Latin haven't exactly stayed glued to my brain, but it sounds like they really are reciting the first five lines of "The Aeneid, which translates roughly as:
"I sing of arms and the hero who sailed from Troy to Italy, washed up on the Lavinian shore a refugee, destined to endure blows on land and sea by God's decree but also savage Juno's rage. Even after pains suffered in war – until he builds a city."
Too bad Moritz doesn't know what the heck he's saying in that scene; if he had, given the parallel, it might have one day saved his life.
About those religious conservatives: Several people have phoned me since my first story on "Spring Awakening" was published to say, in effect, that any sex outside the marriage contract should be condemned. Period. They will never, ever, ever see "Spring Awakening," but they should, because, when you think about it, they do get everything they want. I asked Epstein about the trail of destruction that follows Melchior from the moment he "educates" Moritz on the facts of life. It leads to expulsion, reform school, suicide, pregnancy, back-alley abortion, death.
In Colorado, we have a thing called "Hell House." It's a real, haunted house that each Halloween is replicated by thousands of churches around the country. These people could not have asked for a better progression of events in this story. I asked Epstein, only half-facetiously, "Wouldn't the radical zealots love Spring Awakening?" His response:
"I think there is something to that. And at the end of the play, Melchior says, 'I've been a fool,' and I think he's wrong in saying that, because he goes too far with it. Because of what he does, yes, his best friend fails out of school and ends up killing himself because he has led him down this path by teaching him about sex. And this poor girl that he ends up falling in love with … He's the one who has all the information about sex, and he ends up sleeping with her and impregnating her, and she gets an abortion and she ends up dying too. And all of that is, sort of, because of him. That's what's so complicated and interesting about this play: It makes you think about things. Because his opinion of 'free love,' I don't think, is necessarily right, either."

Horse Meat Discovery Serves Up Reputation Risk for U.K. Supermarkets
Beef burgers containing horse meat have been removed from the shelves of several supermarket groups in the U.K. and Ireland amid a growing furore over the source of the contamination.
While most of the contaminated burgers had very small traces of horse DNA, including products sold in Tesco, Iceland, Aldi, Lidl and Dunnes Stores, one batch of Tesco Everyday Value Beef Burgers was found to be 29% horse meat.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI), which made the initial discovery, said that there is no risk to public health, but its chief executive Professor Alan Reilly said that "in Ireland, it is not in our culture to eat horsemeat and therefore we do not expect to find it in a burger."
All the products have been removed from the shelves and the Food Standards Agency, the U.K. independent government department responsible for food safety and hygiene, will meet Wednesday afternoon with representatives from the food industry to investigate further.
The study by the FSAI also found traces of pig DNA in the burgers, which were packaged as beef, a situation Prof. Reilly called "unacceptable" for religious groups that expressly ban pork meat.
Three processing plants, two in Ireland (Liffey Meats and Silvercrest Foods) and one plant in the north of England (Dalepak Hambleton) have been named as the source of the contaminated meat. The Irish processors have issued statements blaming continental European imports for the contamination and all have launched full-scale investigations.
The supermarkets have all sought to reassure their customers that the rest of their food ranges are unaffected but, at least in the short term, brand and reputation risk are a real threat to those affected retailers.

Alan Babbitt, the veteran and highly respected sports editor of The Holland Sentinel, has been appointed the first full-time sports information director at Hope College effective July 1.
Babbitt will succeed Tom Renner in the sports information capacity. Renner has served in a dual role as director of the college's public, community and sports information programs since 1967. He will continue to oversee the public and community relations responsibilities.
"We are delighted to have Alan join our college advancement staff," said David Vanderwel, interim vice president of college advancement who chaired the search committee that attracted nearly 150 candidates.
"Alan's professional expertise and his knowledge of Hope athletics and appreciation of the mission of the college will allow us to sustain the highly respected sports information program developed by Tom over the past six decades," he continued.
"I am humbled and excited to be chosen as the first full-time sports information director at Hope," Babbitt said. "I have enjoyed my time covering Hope men's and women's teams as a media member in West Michigan for 15 years and getting to know the athletes, coaches and administrators both on and off the playing field.
"I look forward to focusing my efforts and abilities on telling stories about the Flying Dutch and Flying Dutchmen through print, video, audio, photography and social media. I aim to enhance the experience for NCAA Division III student-athletes who play for and against Hope as well as keeping Hope's loyal fan base well informed and entertained at the home venues and on a growing number of digital platforms."
Babbitt has served as sports editor of the Holland Sentinel since 2003. He previously was a sportswriter with the Grand Rapids Press and Advance newspapers. In 2011 he was honored by Gatehouse Media, owner of the Holland Sentinel and more than 300 other daily and weekly newspapers, as the runnerup in its sports writer of the year recognition program. He has received honors from the Michigan Associated Press Editorial Association and the Michigan Press Association, including coverage of Hope's 2010 NCAA Division III women's basketball national championship run.
He is a 2000 graduate with a BS in journalism from Grand Valley State University. He and his wife, Krista, have two daughters, Madeleine and Elise. The Babbitts live in Holland.

Hello Velo consolidates its leadership as Toronto's top performance cycling shop with new products and services
Adds three new brands: Argon 18, BH and Felt and implements Retül, a revolutionary fit and performance system
Hello Vélo (hellovelo.ca) has consolidated its position as Toronto's top performance cycling boutique with several announcements today, coinciding with its move to a larger street-side location. Hello Vélo is now offering three new performance bicycle brands in road, time trial and mountain bike models with the addition of Argon 18, BH Bikes and Felt Bicycles.
Hello Vélo also announced today that it has joined the ranks of North America's best bicycle fitters with the revolutionary Retül System featuring 3D Motion Capture Technology meant to optimize fit and thus performance.
Most bike fit specialists fit riders in a static position indoors using tape and ruler measurements to determine the optimal fit. Retül takes this to the next level by providing dynamic data in real time from key anatomical markers. Highly accurate measurements are taken while the rider is pedaling providing the best fit in a real world situation. Detailed information about this innovative technology can be found at retul.com.
"Proper fit is essential to achieving the best possible cycling experience for all types of cyclists, not just elite athletes," said Paul Parker, Owner of Hello Vélo. "We've become known for what we call the consensus fit. Our approach is to optimize the bike for the unique needs and desires of the cyclist and the Retül system allows us to customize the fit using state of the art technology for excellent results."
For Paul Parker it's about a collaborative process between the cyclist and himself as the bike expert. Over the past year, the company has served triathletes and road cyclists but increasingly as Hello Vélo becomes better known charity and commuter riders are being attracted to the store.
"Triathletes and road cyclists are two very informed groups of people," explained Parker. "They know what they want - which is 'how can I elevate my performance to the next level.' The charity rider or long-distance rider may not be looking to go as fast but their concerns for comfort are just as valid. I want to make every minute on your bike as enjoyable as possible, so that you can achieve your goals, whatever they are."
The addition of three new high-performance brands also means a broader selection of some of the industry's most exciting and successful road, time trial and mountain bikes.
Hello Vélo is the exclusive Toronto retailer for BH bicycles, a leading manufacturer from the Spanish Pyrenees. The AG2R pro team rode the BH G5 for eight days in the yellow jersey at the 2009 Tour de France and was the most successful bike brand during the tour.
Felt Bicycles is a leading brand among pro teams and is the bicycle of choice for the Garmin Slipstream (recently changed to Garmin Transitions) pro tour team. Popular pro tour rider, Bradley Wiggens topped Garmin's dominance in the Jayco Herald Sun Tour in Australia this past October with an overall victory riding Felt road and TT bikes.
Québec-based Argon 18 is quickly establishing a name for itself among the pro tour as the official bike of the Canadian professional team, Planet Energy, managed by Steve Bauer and featuring leading riders such as Martin Gilbert who won Stage 7 of the Tour of Missouri this past September.
"Being able to offer our customer's their choice from these top brands means greater flexibility in optimizing fit and performance for our club riders and customers," added Parker. "We are well on our way to becoming a major force in the cycling scene in Toronto offering our customers an unmatched portfolio of products and services. We're really excited about further growth in 2010 with several key initiatives, one is offering products and services focused on women cyclists and triathletes."
About Hello Vélo
In less than a year, Hello Vélo has become Toronto's top performance cycling boutique attracting riders from across Toronto and the province who appreciate Hello Vélo's focus on providing the optimum riding experience for cyclists of all types. The philosophy of "riding beautifully" is embodied in custom fitting using the state of the art Retül system and custom ordering the right bike for achieving the rider's particular goal. Hello Vélo offers other unique services including mechanic classes, training seminars and spinning classes. Hello Vélo is located at 262 Carlaw Avenue, Unit 101, in Toronto.
Hello Vélo owner Paul Parker also owns and manages the Dark Horse Flyers cycling club composed of elite racers and club riders. Members of the elite squad have achieved podium finishes at international triathlon events and provincial road, time trial and mountain bike races. The team is sponsored by Dark Horse Espresso bar and Gryphon Partners. More information about Hello Vélo and the Dark Horse Flyers can be found at hellovelo.ca.
