Travelers Expands Telematics Resources For Business Fleet Customers
With auto accidents being the leading cause of workplace injuries and fatalities, safety in the workplace extends beyond a business's concrete walls. According to the National Safety Council Injury Facts 2011 Edition, the medical and indemnity costs from motor vehicle claims in 2007 and 2008 averaged $65,875, well above the $40,043 which makes up the next highest claim cost of slips and falls. In response to the need to further strengthen driver safety programs, Travelers announces its IntelliDrive® Fleet Safety Solutions in an effort to help business owners use the latest vehicle telematics technology to implement effective fleet safety programs that help reduce auto risks, keep employees safe and reduce costs for their business. IntelliDrive Fleet Safety Solutions is being offered through Travelers for local and intermediate fleet operations and through Northland Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Travelers and one of the leading transportation carriers for long haul insurance needs.
"Helping to guide our customers on fleet safety management and protecting the lives of their fleet drivers is a priority for Travelers," said Michael Klein, President, Travelers Middle Market. " IntelliDrive Fleet Safety Solutions will give customers access to risk control resources that can help put them on the road to improving driver safety."
IntelliDrive Fleet Safety Solutions delivers guidance from risk control consultants along with current, relevant information on telematics so customers can easily implement and manage their own program. Customers with fleets can work with Travelers and Northland risk control consultants to:
- Identify and understand areas in need of improvement within their fleet
- Determine the telematics information that is available to shape their safety programs
- Help identify the telematics devices that will work best for them
- Provide guidance on effective driver feedback and coaching
" IntelliDrive Fleet Safety Solutions can help fleet and risk managers use telematics technology and the wealth of information they provide. This will not only help customers understand driver data, but also provide the tools that will aid in developing specific training programs that positively modify driving behavior," added Chris Hayes, Director of Transportation Services, Travelers Risk Control.
Companies that have used telematics in conjunction with their safety programs have seen positive results in reducing risky driving behaviors in their employees.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Foxy Brown - We're On Fire
Artist: Foxy Brown
Featuring: Mavado
Album: Brooklyn's Don Diva
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 17 votes )
Although Foxy Brown has been hailed as the best female rapper of all-time by such legends as Jay-Z, Nas, and Wu-Tang Clan; legal problems have kept Ms. Brown in the public eye for all the wrong reasons. Currently serving a one-year prison sentence (which includes three months in "the hole"); Foxy's labels are preparing her comeback album, Brooklyn's Don Diva. On the first single, We're On Fire (featuring reggae artist Mavado), the Ill Na Na does a metamorphosis from her old sexually-charged self into a more street heavy feline (similar to old rival Lil' Kim and The Naked Truth before she served her bid.) Brooklyn's Don Diva drops on December 11.

Tony Romo throwing to new faces
Young WRs have opportunity to build rapport with QB with top targets injured
SAN DIEGO -- For those wanting the Dallas Cowboys to go after Plaxico Burress or any other high-profile wide receiver or make some sort of trade -- Green Bay's James Jones seems to be the favorite -- news of Dez Bryant's injury on early Monday afternoon served only as affirmation.
Without Bryant and Miles Austin, who is going on his third week of missing practice because of a hamstring strain, Tony Romo's starting wide receivers for most of Monday's practice against the San Diego Chargers were Kevin Ogletree and Dwayne Harris, who took over for Andre Holmes after Holmes' back tightened up.
There is a good chance they will be his starting wide receivers Saturday against the St. Louis Rams at Cowboys Stadium.
Can you magine if this was the week leading up to the Sept. 5 season opener at the New York Giants and having to roll with those guys as the lead wideouts?
Good luck, Romo.
Thankfully, for the Cowboys' sake, they have a little more than two weeks before the Giants game and Bryant was only diagnosed with patella tendinitis.
The remedy is simple: rest.
There's no need for the Cowboys front office to send a parody of Carly Jepsen's "Call Me, Maybe" to any of the agents of the receivers available either on the street or on teams with a number of receivers available for a possible trade.
ESPNDallas.com's Todd Archer discusses Cowboys WR Dez Bryant's diagnosis of patella tendinitis. Listen |
The Cowboys know what they have in Bryant, Austin and Jason Witten, whose preseason ended when he suffered a lacerated spleen Aug. 13 at Oakland.
Considering the Cowboys will not play their regulars in the last preseason game, the next time we see Bryant, Austin and Witten on the field will be when the games are for real.
The trio had only a handful of snaps together in training camp before Austin suffered a strained hamstring that the Cowboys insist is not as severe as the ones that kept him out of six games last season.
That's OK.
They've had enough time with Romo.
"Injuries provide opportunity, and guys need to step up.
" -- Cowboys coach Jason Garrett
Romo could be blindfolded and still know where Witten will be after years of throwing passes to him. He has close to that kind of feel with Austin. And this summer he and Bryant have increased their on-field rapport, with the 24-yard back-shoulder catch against the Raiders a sign of that improvement.
"Dez has been outstanding," coach Jason Garrett said. "He's been outstanding all through the offseason. He really came back committed to being in the best shape possible. He's practiced really well. I think he's matured in a lot of ways as a receiver. He's a more reliable guy for the quarterbacks. He's always had the ability to make plays, as you know, but when you combine that with the ability to be a consistent guy who can win on a consistent basis and the quarterbacks have a trust level in him, he becomes a complete player at that position."
Bryant's evolution is not yet complete, but this was a good start.
Now the Cowboys can use these absences to find out about some other guys.
"Injuries provide opportunity, and guys need to step up," Garrett said Monday, a refrain heard countless times during the Cowboys' California training camp.
More on the Cowboys
Tim MacMahon, Todd Archer and Jean-Jacques Taylor have the Dallas Cowboys blanketed.
Blog » ESPN Dallas »
Top 50 Cowboys
The Cowboys found out about Jay Ratliff in 2007 because of injury. The Cowboys found out about Austin in 2009 because of injury. They found out about Doug Free in 2009 because of injury. They found out about DeMarco Murray last year because of injury.
Now they can find out about Ogletree, Harris, Danny Coale, Holmes, Cole Beasley and anybody else at wide receiver, as well as James Hanna at tight end.
Ogletree is just about ready to sew up the No. 3 wide receiver spot and can put the final stitchings together in the next two weeks. Beasley had 104 yards against the Chargers last Saturday, so let's see if he can do it against the starters versus St. Louis. Harris and Holmes have had moments, too.
Coale missed almost all of the offseason with a stress fracture in his foot and has had about a week of practice. With additional snaps Monday, he had his best practice. Maybe he can lock down a spot.
Undoubtedly, the Cowboys are going to need at least a couple of those guys to make plays during the regular season.
It's better to get them the work now.

Center's only grocery store closes its door
Milk N' Honey is no longer flowing in Center with the Feb. 27 closing of the downtown grocery store owned by Rick and Lisa Reichenberg. The store was the only full grocery in the community. The Reichenbergs began scaling back operations early last fall, but would not officially confirm that they were closing the business until the door closed that last day. Customers, however, had noticed that the store's shelves gradually became more bare. Originally from Center, Rick and Lisa moved back to Center from Denver, Colo., in 1993 after learning that Rick's dad was seriously ill. Then in April 1994, they heard that Yatsin and Donna Berger, owners of the Y&D Grocery Store, might be willing to sell the business. The Reichenbergs bought it and renamed it Milk N' Honey Market. "We got the name from some friends in Denver who joked about us moving to North Dakota, calling it the Land of Milk and Honey," Lisa said. "The Bergers trained us," Rick said. "But if it weren't for Lyla Helmenstein and Shirley Hilzendeger who worked there at the time, we would have been out of business the first year." When the Reichenbergs bought the store, Lyla and Donna taught Rick meat cutting. "He was an excellent meat cutter," Lyla said. Lyla said that people didn't appreciate the store enough.

R 1200 GS ESA problem
Hello there. Has any body had a problem with the compliance of their ESA equipped GS?
My bike is less then 1 year old and done 18,500km on the roads only. Lately I notice the front end getting very busy on occasions and giving road imperfection feedback where previously it would simply glide over these. Comfort has been replaced with a poor quality ride. On the last couple of rides it has become very harsh on occasions and I could swear I had ridden over corrugations that really aren't there. I little oil is also apparent on the front fork sliders. Frustratingly it seems to be an internment fault where at times it definitely is (excuse the pun) a shocker. At other times you could be forgiven in thinking it has gone away. We've had some hot days in NZ lately and its during a hot rides I've noticed it most. This could be a red hearing. It will be referred to my dealer but Im seeking any feedback due to the interminent nature of the prblem |

When the front ESA shock went out on my '11 GSA, the obvious tell-tale sign was hydraulic fluid on the front of my engine case and on the back of the front fender. The other thing I noticed was that it felt like I had low tire pressure and the front was going to slide out from under me on corners. As well, the springy front-end. I continued to ride it (carefully) for a week until I got it to the dealer.
No issues when travelling in a straight, flat line. Mine went bad during winter (cold). The dealer had to get permission from BMW to replace this under warranty (due to expense, I imagine). BMW permission took 1 day, the dealer had one in stock, and it was replaced within the week. SiouxsieCat screwed with this post 03-10-2013 at 09:10 AM |

Preview: Milwaukee Blades Target Frustration
For the past few years, Milwaukee has maintained extreme focus on tradesman-type applications. The end result for the consumer tends to some pretty wicked task-specific products that everyone can use, but might not have the need for. The ductwork and drywall Sawzall blades follow suit with this trend.
xanax online no prescriptionThe ductwork Sawzall blade features a "pierce point tip" designed to plunge into sheet metal with a tapered shape, allowing the blade to make both radius and square cuts for any kind of pro- or homeowner installation. Tiny teeth are designed to cut clean without hanging on duct material or bending the metal, which also makes for a less accurate fit.

buy provigil onlinebuy klonopin no prescription"When plumbers try to access a leak or Electricians are looking for a faulty wire, there is a substantial possibility that they will puncture an existing pipe or wire when using the standard blade lengths available today…" "The new Drywall Access blade is only 2-1/2" long, optimized to cleanly cut through up to 5/8" drywall but avoid this type of damage."
So the drywall blade can run up, down, or across, and still move at full speed without worrying about electrical, pipes, or ducts behind the wall.

gary z says:
Since most emergencies happen when the tool and lumber stores are closed, keeping a couple of these blades in the tool box could be a big help.
TominDC says:
This new drywall blade is definitely cool. However, Milwaukee invented it 25+ years too late. Since the mid 1980′s the Fien Multimaster has enabled plunge cutting drywall with great precision and zero chance of damaging stuff inside the wall. The past several years has seen an explosion of cheaper imitations (like Milwaukee's M12?). There are still lots of uses for recip saws, but drywall surgery ain't one of 'em.
Blair says:
For larger areas,(think window cutouts, etc.), the reciprocating saw is a superior tool, much quicker.
gary z says:
I keep lusting after the Fein, but at 3 or 4 hundred bucks it's hard to justify. I've used the one at the store a couple of times, and you are right, the Fein would be a better choice on drywall.
jeff_williams says:
You can get a basic kit for under $200 now. It's the accessories and attachments that make the larger kits so expensive.
Eric R says:
A couple of those blades in the saw case are handy as a "just in case" for the home repairman.
I don't use my recip saw that much, but when you need it, nothing else will do the job as effectively.
Thanks Sean. -
Fong says:
Interesting. Is using a recip saw common for plumbers and electricians? The only ones I've ever seen do work for me has used hand saws. Granted, they were small jobs but as many have mentioned:
1. I'd think a large recip saw would only be useful for large jobs that don't require as much precision (like a window cutout) in which case you're not worried about plumbing or wires.
2. The blade still looks long enough to cut through part of the framing and I'd hate to think plumbers and electricians are just slicing through framing looking for a fault of leak.
3. With smaller, lighter, more precise tools on the market like the Fein, why would a plumber or electrican carry around a big recip saw? I'm sincerely asking.I've only used a recip saw for demolition and rough cutting.
davesander says:
I like the drywall blade, but I just make my own by cutting and filing bent recip blades to the right length so I only cut the drywall and no further.

Nothing beats the drywall/plaster blade by Saf-T-Kut…Minimal Dust and NO WORRY. Milwaukees blade still goes through the other side, an FEIN…tooo much dust!…

Chris Sale Rumors
Rosenthal On Yankees, Playoffs, Sabermetrics
The Yankees enter play today with a one-game lead over the Orioles and four games over the Rays. And, it's a good thing this isn't your father's Yankees, writes Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com. If George Steinbrenner was alive today, Rosenthal believes he might have fired manager Joe Girardi after blowing a ten-game lead in the AL East and replaced him with the likes of Lou Piniella. Hal Steinbrenner is almost the polar opposite of his father. So much so that, when Rosenthal asked Brian Cashman of the potential fallout that might occur if the team fails to reach the playoffs, the Yankees' GM said, "We have objective, patient ownership." Also from Rosenthal's column:
- The new schedule hasn't been a cure-all for small market teams like the Rays. Rosenthal suggests one way to mitigate the Rays' disadvantage would be to scale revenue sharing so they would receive a greater percentage than a low-revenue club such as the Indians, who compete in a division with lower payrolls.
- A criticism of the new playoff system is Wild Card teams who have better records than division winners are penalized in the seeding of the Division Series. Rosenthal's solution is to wait until after the Wild Card game to seed the Division Series.
- The AL CY Young Award voting will be a test of how accepted advanced statistics are by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Rosenthal points out the last eight AL pitchers to either lead or tie for the lead in those categories, like the Rays' David Price this year, each have won the award. The Tigers' Justin Verlander meanwhile leads in wins above replacement and Chris Sale of the White Sox leads in ERA+. Price is tops, however, in quality of opponents faced, based on the rankings of Vince Gennaro, president of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR).
- Larry Bowa's interview for the Astros' managerial vacancy is a good sign, as rival executives have worried that GM Jeff Luhnow is surrounding himself with too many like-minded sabermetric types rather than building a diverse baseball operations department.
- The Marlins may have difficulty in sticking with their plan to keep Emilio Bonifacio in center field, play Donovan Solano at second, and make the acquisition of a third baseman their top priority. Rosenthal points out the market for third basemen is bare, so one alternative for the Marlins is to acquire an outfielder and move Bonifacio back to third base.
- Look for the Rays to exercise their $2.5MM option on Fernando Rodney. Rodney is bidding to become only the second reliever in history (Dennis Eckersley in 1990) to have a season of 40 or more saves and an ERA under 1.00. Rodney leads baseball with 43 saves and his ERA is 0.66.
- The Cubs will look again this offseason to move Alfonso Soriano, who is one home run and one RBI shy of his first 30-homer, 100-RBI season since 2005. If the Cubs fail to receive a sufficient offer, they could always bring back Soriano, owed $36MM over the next two years, and try to move him at the deadline again. Rosenthal cited the example of Carlos Lee of how it is easier to deal an overpriced player the closer he gets to the end of his contract.

White Sox Notes: Danks, Sale, Ramirez
The White Sox have many appealing trade chips, including Carlos Quentin and Gavin Floyd, so GM Kenny Williams will likely be fielding all kinds of inquiries in Dallas at next week's Winter Meetings. Here's the latest on the White Sox…
- The White Sox haven't offered John Danks a long-term deal recently, according to Doug Padilla of ESPNChicago.com. The White Sox were rebuffed not too long ago and are now more likely to trade the left-hander, according to Padilla. However, the team hasn't given up on working out a new contract with Danks.
- Teams have asked the White Sox about Chris Sale and Alexei Ramirez, but the price for either player would be "sky-high," according to Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com (Twitter link).
- White Sox manager Robin Ventura told reporters, including Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune, that he's like to get 30 starts out of both Danks and Floyd while playing Quentin in right field on a regular basis (Twitter link). However, the new manager realizes it may not work out that way in 2012.
White Sox Notes: Trades, Quentin, Sale
Recent White Sox notes…
- GM Kenny Williams won't rule out the possibility of trading both Gavin Floyd and John Danks, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. The White Sox GM said he's continuing to lay the groundwork for next month's Winter Meetings, but that some of his fellow GMs are employing a more direct approach this week (Twitter link).
- "We're not going to make moves unless we get an impact player or impact-type prospects, guys who are close to being ready," Williams explained to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune. Williams has received at least one surprising trade proposal in Milwaukee at the GM Meetings. Danks, Floyd, and Carlos Quentin could be hot commodities around the game.
- Quentin is fully recovered from a late-season shoulder injury, agent Brodie Van Wagenen told Gonzales. The 29-year-old right fielder is under team control for one more year, and we project him to earn around $6.6MM in 2012.
- Chris Sale will be a starting pitcher next season, Williams confirmed to reporters. The team's 2012 rotation is shaping up to have Jake Peavy, Philip Humber, Sale, and Zach Stewart, with the status of Danks, Floyd, and Mark Buehrle in question. Buehrle has been very popular so far this offseason.
White Sox Notes: Quentin, Reed, Sale
The White Sox will select 13th in next year's draft after finishing the 2011 season with a 79-83 record. Here's the latest as they begin an offseason that will include their first managerial search since the 2003 season ended…
- GM Kenny Williams told Peter Gammons of MLB Network that the White Sox are "going to let the kids play" next season (Twitter link). Gammons expects the White Sox to be younger in 2012.
- Doug Padilla of ESPNChicago.com wonders if Williams' comments signals that the White Sox would trade Carlos Quentin in the right deal. They could get by without Quentin if they play Brent Morel at third, Dayan Viciedo in right and Adam Dunn at DH.
- Addison Reed, the 22-year-old right-hander who posted a 12K/1BB ratio in six relief appearances this year, could begin the 2012 season in the Major League bullpen, according to Padilla.
- Williams told MLB.com's Scott Merkin that Chris Sale will "be given every opportunity in the rotation" next year (Twitter link).
Odds & Ends: Waivers, Lowell, Taschner, Sale
Alex Rodriguez hit his 600th home run today off Shaun Marcum. A-Rod is now the seventh player in MLB history to reach the milestone; up next is Sammy Sosa at 609. Links for Wednesday…
- Chat today, 2pm CST.
- Players on the disabled list can't pass through waivers in August, reports ESPN's Buster Olney.
- The Yankees, Rangers, and Red Sox nearly reached a deal on Friday that would've sent Mike Lowell to New York, Jarrod Saltalamacchia to Boston, and prospects to the Rangers, reports WEEI's Alex Speier. A Lowell deal with the Blue Jays had been discussed in April and June, but both potential trades were killed due to health concerns.
- Lefty Jack Taschner filed for free agency, according to MLB.com's transactions page. Taschner had been designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Friday.
- First-round pick Chris Sale will join the White Sox today as a reliever, reports Baseball America's Jim Callis, making the lefty the first to reach the bigs from the 2010 draft class.
- With Thomas Diamond's MLB debut yesterday, Joe Pawlikowski of FanGraphs looks at what's come of the DVD trio.

Amateur Draft Signings: Tuesday
Here's the round-up of today's mass signings and individual agreements between teams and players from the 2010 Amateur Draft. The list of first-rounders and supplemental round picks to sign can be found here.
- Pittsburgh has signed 14th-rounder Bryce Weidman and 22nd-rounder Adalberto Santos, reports Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com.
- John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Reds have signed two more of their picks.
- Dylan Hernandez of The Los Angeles Times tweets that the Dodgers signed their second and seventh round selections — namely, right-hander Ralston Cash and right-hander Ryan Christenson.
- The Cubs agreed to terms with five draft picks today, according to a team press release. Third-rounder Micah Gibbs was the highest-drafted player amongst the new Cubs.
- Corey Brock of MLB.com tweets that the Padres signed fifth-round pick Rico Noel and eleventh-rounder Brian Guinn.
- A Padres team press release confirmed the signings of Noel and Guinn, and also announced that the club had agreed to terms with six other draft picks.
- Anthony Andro of the Dallas Morning News reports that Texas agreed to terms with sixth-rounder Brett Nicholas.
- According to an Angels press release, the team has signed second-rounder (81st overall) Daniel Tillman, a right-handed pitcher from Florida Southern College.
- Chris Sale passed his team physical and thus his contract with the White Sox was officially announced by the club today, via press release.
Odds & Ends: Sale, Astros, Shealy, Orioles
Links for Sunday night..
- Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune points out that even though Sale signed for less than anticipated, a quick promotion to the majors would start his service time clock sooner.
- Jim Callis of Baseball America tweets that more teams should be willing to test the resolve of college juniors, like the White Sox were with Chris Sale.
- The moves the Astros made earlier this evening will make them younger, faster, and possibly better defensively, writes Alyson Footer of MLB.com.
- Ryan Shealy believes that his new club will afford him a better opportunity to make a big league roster, writes Paul Kenyon for The Providence Journal. Shealy was signed by Boston and placed in Triple-A after exercising his opt-out clause with the Rays.
- O's scouting director Joe Jordan is hopeful that the club's agreement with fourth-round pick Trent Mummey will get the ball rolling for the rest of the team's top draftees, writes MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli. Baltimore has now agreed to terms with 26 of their 49 selections.

Chris Sale, White Sox Reach Agreement
The White Sox have come to terms on a deal with first-round pick Chris Sale, according to Jim Callis of Baseball America. The pitcher, who was taken 13th overall, agreed to a bonus of $1.656MM.
The bonus figure is surprising as it is equal to MLB's bonus recommendation for his No. 13 slot in the 2009 draft. The Florida Gulf Coast University product was considered by teams to be the first or second-best college pitcher in the draft.
While Sale will get less money than anticipated, Callis writes that he will be given every opportunity to join the big league bullpen, perhaps as early as August. Sale will start off in high-A in Salem with the goal of jumping to Triple-A Charlotte in mid-July.
Sale's agent, B.B. Abbott of Jet Sports Management, conceded that deal will be "perceived in the industry" as a victory for the White Sox, but believes that it is in the best interest of his client.
"While we felt extremely confident that a larger bonus would be available later in the summer, we think Chris not only has a viable opportunity to pitch in the big leagues this year, but a very good chance to do so. As we did with Zack Wheeler last year, we considered the opportunity, the risk and the reward. As clear as it was that Zack should wait, it is equally clear that this is a legitimate opportunity for Chris to pitch in the big leagues in six weeks or less with a contending team. While this was not an easy decision, we believe it is the right decision," Abbott said.
Sale is now the highest-drafted player to agree to a deal thus far. You can keep track of the bonuses that first rounders, supplemental rounders, and other noteworthy picks obtain right here.

Microbiological Quality of Meats other than Chicken
Report prepared by Geoff Millard and Simon Rockliff
- Determine the microbiological status of raw retail meats other than raw retail chicken i.e. raw meat sold in the ACT;
- Compare these results to those available from Australian and overseas sources and to a previous raw retail chicken (raw chicken) survey conducted in the ACT to illustrate the unacceptable microbiological quality of raw chicken.
Literature sources indicate that raw meat has lower rates of contamination with the organisms Escherichia coli, Thermophilic Campylobacter sp (Campylobacter), Salmonella sp and Listeria monocytogenes than raw chicken(3). This short survey was undertaken to confirm that the ACT was consistent with the literature.
- In 1996 Meat and Livestock Australia (4) (MLA) implemented the Microbial Food Safety Key program, in line with the Meat Industry Strategic Plan (MISP) prepared by the Meat Industry Council for the period 1996 2000. One aim of the MISP was to introduce a comprehensive quality assurance system based on the Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP) to all levels of the meat industry. To measure the effectiveness of the MISP the industry undertook baseline studies on the microbiological status of carcass and carton meats in both 1993-4 and 1998. In February 2000 MLA (4) produced a report comparing these baseline studies. The report "was based on samples excised from carcass surfaces which had been chilled for at least 12 hours and from pieces of meat drilled from cartons of frozen manufacturing meat."
As recognition of this quality assurance system approach, the USA in 1999 accepted the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (AQIS) Australian Meat Safety Enhancement Program as equivalent to the U.S. inspection system. (5)
There are no Australia New Zealand Food Authority Food Standard Code Standards for this product.
During the period 08/11/1999 to 11/04/2001, 53 raw meat samples consisting of 18 Beef, 11 Pork, 9 Lamb/mutton, 9 Fish, 3 Veal, 2 Ox and 1 Prawn were collected from 13 ACT retail establishments. These samples were tested to determine the presence of Escherichia coli (E. coli), Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), Salmonella sp. and Thermophilic Campylobacter sp.
The isolation rates for the different types of ACT meat are given in Table 1.
Table 1
Meat [n] | E. coli (%) | L. monocytogenes (%) | Salmonella (%) | Campylobacter (%) |
Veal [3] | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) |
Prawns [1] | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) |
Fish [9] | 0 (0.0) | 1 (11.1) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) |
Beef [18] | 3 (16.6) | 3 (16.6) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) |
Pork [11] | 1 (9.1) | 3 (27.3) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) |
Lamb/ mutton [9] | 2 (22.2) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) |
Ox [2] | 2 (100) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) |
Samples Positive | 8 (15.1) | 7 (13.2) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) |
[n] = number of samples tested.
(%) = percentage of samples positive.
Table 2 compares the results of the ACT raw meat survey with those of the ACT raw chicken survey (3) and meat results from the literature. (1)(2)(4)
Table 2
Organism | Meat Survey % Pos | Raw chicken Survey | Literature |
E. coli | 15.1 | 70.8 | 2.3 – 31.0 |
Listeria monocytogenes | 13.2 | 36.0 | 2.0 – 47.9 |
Salmonella sp. | 0.0 | 39.9 | 0.4 – 45.6 |
Campylobacter | 0.0 | 20.6 | 0.0 - 5.1 |
Pos = positive result
While the survey sample numbers for some of the cuts and types of meat are statistically small we believe that the overall trends are valid but the actual percentage isolation or non-isolation rate may not be representative.
Escherichia coli
The presence of E. coli on the sample is an indicator of faecal contamination and its isolation rate gives some indication of the degree of contamination for the individual types of meat. E. coli was isolated from beef, lamb/mutton, pork and ox samples. The ACT study showed that 16.6% beef, 22.2% lamb/mutton. 9.1% pork and 100% ox samples carried E. coli. Only 2 ox samples were tested in the survey and the high isolation rate could be due to low number of samples. The overall isolation rate was 15.1% which is approximately one fifth the isolation rate for raw chicken and in the mid range reported in the literature (Table 2).
The overall E. coli isolation rate in 1998 (4) for beef carcasses and boneless meat was 10.3% and 5.3 % respectively and 29.1% and 24.5% respectively for sheep carcasses and boneless meat. The ACT isolation rate from retail beef samples is higher than beef carcasses while sheep carcasses and retail sheep samples tend to have similar isolation rates. It is difficult to determine from the survey the reason for the differing beef and sheep meat results.
Listeria Monocytogenes
Listeria Monocytogenes was isolated from fish, beef and pork samples at individual rates of 11.1%, 16.6 % and 27.3% respectively. The overall isolation rate was 13.2% which is less than half the isolation rate for raw chicken and in the lower third of the range reported in the literature (Table 2).
Listeria Monocytogenes analysis was not performed by the Meat and Livestock Australia Surveys.
Salmonella was not found in any of the survey samples, which is below the range reported in the literature (Table 2). The overall isolation rate for raw chicken was reported as 39.9%. The Microbiology of Australian Meat 1998 results indicate that, with an overall isolation rate for beef carcasses of 0.2% and 0.1% for sheep carcasses (4) this organism is not prevalent at slaughter.
Thermophilic Campylobacter was also not found in any of the samples and is at the lowest end of the range reported in the literature (Table 2). Meanwhile the overall isolation rate for raw chicken was reported as 20.6%. In 1993-4 (4) the overall isolation rates for Thermophilic Campylobacter for beef and sheep carcasses were 0.26% and 1.3% respectively. Thermophilic Campylobacter tests were not undertaken in 1998.
This was only a small survey with low sample numbers in each of the food types but the results indicate that the original premise as stated in the BACKGROUND was correct. Raw meat does have a much lower contamination rate of E. coli, L. monocytogenes, Salmonella and Thermophilic Campylobacter than raw chicken meat. This lower contamination rate (in some cases zero) indicates a lower risk to the public from these undercooked, mishandled and cross-contaminated foods. The HACCP (4) approach introduced into the meat industry appears to be achieving a small but significant improvement in some microbiological quality criteria of beef and sheep carcasses. A similar approach in the poultry industry could result in a reduction of overall levels of contamination for raw chicken carcasses.
That a follow up survey be conducted in the future, to ascertain if the present situation has continued.

"Slow to start"
I almost gave up on this but I am so glad that I didn't. It turned out to be engrossing Good narration. Loved it
"Please don't"
I will admit that I am not a Dan Brown fan. He doesn't know how to write but the story can be good. This time the writing is poor and the story is unintelligible.
Don't waste your time or money.
"The Strain"
I recommend this audio. It was more zombie than vampire and for me more suspenseful because of this. I really enjoyed it.

I Cugini Di Campagna – I Suoi Consigli
I Cugini Di Campagna – Come To Canterbury
Even though these guys are folk rockers Disco requirements are met in their "I Suoi Consigli". The Canterbury tune is the theme from Canterbury Proibiti, one of the low budget softcore sex comedies made to cash in on the success of Pier Paolo Pasolini's bawdy Canterbury Tales in 1972. Sort of danceable too, in a vaguely barefoot hippie-ish manner.
Jan Davis Guitar – Maiden Spain
Jan Davis Guitar – Lady Marmalade
Everybody needs to ground down, turn it all off, slow down once in a while – but this is not the time or the place.
Freddi and Henchi – Cartoon People
Long time we dropped science so here's a sure shot to make up for it.
"Thou shalt not forget the real classics"
I first heard this song in a Loud-E mix nearly a decade (yikes) ago, but recently dug it out again and thought it deserved to be re-highlighted. The sample below is from the 7″, but the 12″ has longer versions with a nice long breakdown part, so I recommend you purchase that one if you wanna really stay slim.
Another Tico-Tico cover, this time in duelling guitar disco style. Found it on an old AMIGA compilation, in Istanbul of all places. Reminds me of Guitar Twins – Amorada.
Two songs from the prolific and slightly menacing (though generally uninteresting) hornblower Frank Valdor. Tico Tico should be known to most, but comes here in a nice version. Batida do Samba might just be Frankie's best song.
Another great tune on same LP like yesterdays Familie Silly post and as much Disco as you can get from any East German outfit. Apart from two exceptions, all lyrics on this LP are written by Kurt Demmler, with about 10000 songs reliable workhorse of the republic, who committed suicide in 2009 due to pedophilia charge. If the vocals are not your tea, an instrumental version can be found under a different moniker.
Barış Manço – Nick The Chopper
Whoever Nick The Chopper was, he must have lived an utterly miserable life. Strange campfire groove was later discofied on a rare c-cassette release. This is a more common 7″ version.
DDR 1980. A young ambitious band releases their first songs along with two other young ambitious bands within the Kleeblatt series on Amiga, where else. The same group should become within a few years one of the most beloved East German Super Combos. Here, the former accompanying text:
In its current form "Familie Silly" has existed since the spring of 1978. Versatile use of keyboards and vocal harmonies characterize the band's sound, which is based on Funky and Rock. The musicians played before any of these "Phoenix", the "College Formation", the Gerd Michaelis Chor as well as in the Horst Krüger Band. "Familie Silly" so far produced 10 tracks for radio. Guest appearances in various European countries, including three times in Romania.
With kind permission of Geoffrey LaRue and Bill Spencer from Detroit, here's a link to their All Seven Inches, a long, hot, powerfully throbbing mix including tracks like Paradise: Flying High In Your Magic, JM Bly & Green Waves: Waterfall, Christopher Laird: Break of Dawn, Ben Norman: Got To Be, Pages: Heartaches & Pain and a load of others. Pure dynamite.
Visit Venus – Strassen Kaempfert
Dj Steve Mak from Hong Kong knows his elegant lounge beats and it was he who brought this smooth Bert Kaempfert-inspired take on Space's Magic Fly to my attention.
Alexander Katenin – Cappuccino
Alexander Katenin – One Possessed
Music flows warmly like artifical sunlight thru the Farfisa 200 machine into your head. We have two cover versions here, played with that instrument. One Possessed is actually Michael Sembello's Maniac.
Various Artists – Back From Flea Market 29/09/14
All past flea market mix-sets are still here.
Italy 1975. Miseria is a strange version of A Far L'Amore Comincia Tu, the Raffaella Carra tune heard during the party scenes of the excellent and visually extremely luscious La Grande Bellezza (2013) by Paolo Sorrentino, from which the image is from. The a-side Ballerino is the definitive take on Georgie Dann's Campesino, one of the all-time package holiday disco classics.
Borderline stuff here with Jealousy in Finnish.
New World Symphony – Theme From The Laughing Policeman
The theme from a San Francisco-set police action film from 1973, the kind they just cannot manage anymore. The recent A Walk Among the Tombstones with Liam Neeson tried it's best but while not a failure by any means, it still wasn't bleak, grimy and brutal enough.

BookReview.com Review by Eric Jones
Politics has changed considerably in the 86 years since the 1924 presidential race between Calvin Coolidge and John W. Davis, which marked the fracture point in the divide between the Democratic and Republican parties. Garland S. Tucker's new book, "The High Tide of American Conservatism" documents the account of that election and the lives of its two conservative candidates.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
"High Tide" feels like an emotional testament to a time when government worked. Before the woes of The Great Depression or the shock of World War II and Vietnam; before the corruption of the Nixon administration infected the American public with doubt and cynicism towards its government there was a kind of kinship that existed between the people and its representatives. And both parties seemed to mutually admire one another even as they disagreed on how the country should be run. It's become evident in the foundations of this book that while there is indeed something to be said for the 1924 presidential election's place in history, "High Tide" is more concerned with the intricate details of the election itself, allowing readers to understand it and to draw their own conclusions.
Even as reader's are encouraged to form opinions on the context of the Coolidge and Davis race, the book refuses to draw its own conclusions other than to say that in the time since Democrats have become more left, and Republicans more right. Despite a few mentions of this divergence in the opening and at the end of the book, Tucker seems more interested in giving readers a detailed account of what happened as it happened. Don't expect the history of the 1924 election to be continually placed in a larger political history in the vein of books like Sarah Vowell's "The Wordy Shipmates" and don't expect it to be a politically charged rant like Charles P. Peirce's "Idiot America". This is quite simply and elegantly a history book free of the battered malleability of political opinion.
It's hard not to like both Davis and Coolidge for their even-handedness and their reluctance to even step into the nation's top office. And it seems from the outset of the race that Coolidge has already won given the prosperity of America and the in-fighting amongst the Dems. "High Tide" doesn't merely chronicle the election, but brings its two principle characters to life through a dual portrait which feels like a tracing of the roots of both Democratic and Republican thinking. The ultimate irony being that those roots stem from the same source: an iron willed commitment to the service of the American people.
Garland S. Tucker has created a beautiful homage to that period and he has done it virtually free of modern political squabbling. "The High Tide of American Conservatism" is a reminder to those who pick it up that government can still work for the people, and it's a fascinating and loving tribute to the era in which it did.

Small Groups are growing! Our first group of Small Group Bible Studies (launched in 2013) have found success and growth by engaging in God's word on a weekly basis with other people in the community. We're looking to grow our Small Group ministry over the coming 2014 – 2015 church year and would love for you to join us!
Who Should Join A Small Group?
Jesus has called us to make disciples, and LNBC Small Group Bible Studies answers that call. Small Groups are for people who want a deeper relationship with Christ, who have questions, and for those who want to connect with other believers like themselves. You are also welcome to join a Small Group if you're in Sunday School and are looking for additional Bible Study time. Small Groups are great for people who are new to their faith too! Our studies are open to everyone in our community- you don't have to be a member to join a Small Group!
What Is A Small Group Study Like?
LNBC Small Group Bible Studies are designed to get you more engaged with God's Word and fellow believers on a more personal and intimate level. In 2014, our Small Groups will be reading through the Bible using The Journey curriculum. While The Journey Journals are to be used as a daily devotional, there is power in God's people coming together to discuss His Word. Similar to our Sunday School classes, our LNBC Small Groups will be using The Journey as a biblical tool in 2014. The Small Group discussions will be laid-back and facilitated by questions created by our own pastors!
How Do I Join A Small Group?
Rev. Darryl King is our Small Group Coordinator. Please contact him at 704.892.0143 if you have questions, or email him at email@example.com expressing interest to join and he'll be in touch with you soon!

babies r us has a downloadable "must have list"
Me (24) + DH (25) = Kensington (1/13/12) & #2 Expected 8/23/13
Clothes, Baby Monitor, Car Seat, Stroller, Diapers, Wipes, Baby Wash, Bottles, Bottle Drying Rack, Rocking Chiar/Glider, Baby Blankets, Baby Books, Swaddling Blankets, Crib/Play Pin....I think there is probably more but so much of the stuff is just extra...we have a Swing, Jenny Jump Up, Bouncer Seat, Baby Gym, Exersaucer and more but I don't think you need that stuff. A lot of it makes things a little easier and are nice to haves but not neccessaties (sp? I can't find the spell checker!).   Â
i like targets though because it separates it out with have to haves and nice to haves
Me (24) + DH (25) = Kensington (1/13/12) & #2 Expected 8/23/13
I think most people buy way too much stuff and then dont really use it. I am sure I will get a lot of stuff from a shower but the things that are on my must have list is a crib, a rocker, a baby bath. And of course clothes and wash cloths and such.
Thanks you guys!
Praying in 2012 we get our little healthy miracle <3
Missing our angel babies
EDD's {06.15.11 & 01.06.12}
I like giving a "things you didn't know you needed" gift at showers. It is a bucket (for soaking clothes soiled by food, puke, or a diaper blow-out), two or three tubes of Lansinoh (if the mom is going to be nursing - it's the best stuff out there. One tube for each place you'll be nursing, plus one for the diaper bag), a box of the Lansinoh disposible nursing pads (they turn to gel, and are perfect for at night. They will *not* leak.), a couple of boxes of washable nursing pads four use during the day, a stack of washcloths (nothing special, I usually get a stack from the general bath section at Target), and a few Tide to Go pens (one for your purse, one for the diaper bag).Â
Other things I won't live without with a baby are: small bathtub (I found that it fits perfectly across the bigger tub!), bounce seat, Ergo baby carrier (a little pricey, but worth every penny! It lasts from birth until 3 years or more.)Â
only things we really needed was diapers, wipes, baby towels and washclothes, carseat and cover (esp since winter) and nice way to organize the diapers and wipes (we sed a nice basket) and medicines(gas drops and gripe water were a suprize need!)... we found useful the canging pad we put on a dresser and the baby bajorn.. ours liked the swing for like 1 months.. the bouncer for maybe 2, and still hates the strollers.. hated the basinett an crib and was a "hot baby" so hated blankets... i breast fed and barely used breast pads, i couldn't pump (had a manual and electric double pump, i could get milk by pumping),dd would not take a bottle when we tried w/ the little milk i could get, she hates her tub.. etc..
you getthe idea... you NEED the obvious stuff.. everything else people needed was because that's what their baby liked and every baby's different.... so for those bigger and more expensive things you're not sure on, see if you know anyone that will let you borrow it, or even find them on craigslist or thrift stores before putting down a lot of money on them and using them maybe for a month.... jmho
