Nate Shron/Getty Images Michael Carter-Williams soared in last night's 84-53 SU steamrolling of Long Beach State. MCW might be the only point guard in the country that looks like a 7-footer when he skies to the rim. The sophomore made it a mission to attack the bucket, his most effective game getting to the basket all season. MCW finished with 15 points and 10 assists. It was his second consecutive double-double, and said after the game he's had triple-double on his mind the last couple of weeks. It's games like this that show the wondrous development of his game in just one year. Despite all this stellar play, there are a few reasons why it took Michael Carter-Williams a year to work himself into Jim Boeheim's "Party of Nine" rotation. The questions about MCW being held back, or held down, last season are ludicrous. In one season his minutes have spiked from 10.3 per game to 31.7. We can't forget the depth from last year's team. Boeheim had a fifth-year senior in Scoop Jardine, an...

In its comments, LTCPA stated that CMS's approach on short-cycle dispensing is contrary to Congress' intent that Section 3310 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act result in savings to Medicare Part D. "We believe that it was Congress' intent to decrease costs associated with unused medications for Part D residents in LTC facilities. Implementing short cycle dispensing for long term care patients with an average length of stay of 835 days who are primarily taking maintenance medications does not meet this financial goal. While we applaud CMS's initial proposal to short cycle traditionally more expensive brand products, we believe that this limitation isn't narrow enough. Our data clearly shows that there is a prescription value threshold of $400 that must be met in order to achieve any cost savings," continued Bill Daniel.
In the proposed regulations, CMS calls for data collection by Part D plans in order to study the efficiencies of various dispensing methodologies and to estimate the cost of unused drugs and possible savings. As CMS has identified their lack of data on unused Part D drugs in this population, LTCPA recommends that before drafting any final regulations CMS conduct a study to determine the causes, frequency and cost of unused medications and also consider alternatives to 7-day dispensing cycles.

Infamous Berkeley human trafficking case's long shadow: KALW News interviews reporter Viji Sundaram
The story of Lakireddy Balireddy made international headlines in the early 2000s, but what happened in the decade since then was even more important, said reporter Viji Sundaram of New America Media and part of a team project on human trafficking in the Spring 2012 print edition of the San Francisco Public Press.
The case, involving a handful of girls who prosecutors said were forced into labor and sex, led to reforms such as California's first anti-trafficking law in 2005, and a follow-up ballot initiative that's gaining support this year.
Last week Sundaram sat down with KALW News host Holly Kernan to discuss her reporting on the history of efforts to battle human trafficking in the Bay Area and California.
Part of the problem that made the Lakireddy case the rallying cry for more attention on human trafficking was the imbalance of power. Lakireddy was one of the richest landlords in Berkeley in the late 1990s. His prosecution for the transportation and abuse of girls from his native India exposed clear abuses of vulnerable young women.
"It must be total hell, because she probably has glimpses of how other people are living," Sundaram said of one of the victims she profiled. "Unlike in the village, where, surrounding Lakireddy's home, it is utter poverty. So she probably thinks that's how it is. But here she sees people driving in fancy cars, enjoying so much freedom, being allowed to dress the way they want. They are forced to dress in a certain way. They are never given an opportunity to go to school, or improve their chances for a better life. And they're also limited in communicating with their families back home. It must be, I think, nothing short of hell."

Remember Me

Upper Darby police have yet to close their inquiry into last month's odd death of engineer Peter Stelzenmuller.
That is partly due to how and where Stelzenmuller was found: clad in a scuba suit in the corner of his attic.
Investigators are also intrigued by the bizarre history of Stelzenmuller's girlfriend, Edythe Maa, who reported finding his body Aug. 18, Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said.
In 2008, Maa was working as a dominatrix when her boyfriend, a New York lawyer, was fatally shot near her Philadelphia apartment by an angry former client. The killer then kidnapped and sexually assaulted Maa before killing himself after a nine-hour standoff with police.
Today, using the name "Jade Vixen," Maa describes herself online as a "fetish model" who likes latex clothing. Chitwood said her website also makes mention of erotic oxygen deprivation.
Chitwood stressed that police "don't have anything to say that this was foul play at this time," and that Stelzenmuller's body showed no bruises or other injuries. Determination of the cause of death is pending toxicology results, he said.
"I think you have to look at all the circumstances," Chitwood said. "When you look at [Maa's] history of sadomasochism, and find some stuff on her website about oxygen deprivation and all that, you need to find out if it's accidental or something else."
Maa could not be reached for comment.
Police were called to the couple's Drexel Hill home about 11:30 p.m. Aug. 18. Stelzenmuller, 49, lay dead in the attic near a cutup scuba suit and a mask with two tubes protruding from it, Chitwood said. ...

An Arkansas weatherman didn't predict he would wake up in a hot tub with a naked dead man, but that's exactly what police say happened.
Now authorities are trying to determine what killed Dexter Williams, whose body was found with a "dog collar" around his neck, according to a police report.
The mystery began Monday night, when KARK 4 News meteorologist Brett Cummins arrived at the home of John Barbour around 11 p.m. in Maumelle, just north of Little Rock, the report stated. The 33-year-old weatherman brought Williams, 24, with him. Barbour said he did not know the doomed man.
"They then began to drink and use illegal narcotics," Officer Gregory Roussie said Barbour told him. "Mr. Barbour stated he was not sure of the drugs that they were using but that they were snorting them."
About two hours later, Cummins and Williams went into the Jacuzzi to have a drink, and Barbour later joined them, police said. Shortly afterwards, Barbour said he left the two and went into the living room, where he fell asleep on the couch.
Barbour told police he awoke about 8 a.m. Tuesday and could hear Cummins snoring in the hot tub, the report said. He proceeded to gather glasses in the bathroom and wake up Cummins before realizing Williams was dead. ...

ABC News
An Arkansas weatherman woke up in a bathtub with a dead body this week after an evening of alcohol and drugs, according to a police report. The meteorologist's friend Dexter Williams, 24, was found dead, wearing nothing but a dog collar.
Brett Cummins, 33, is a meteorologist for KARK, the NBC affiliate in Little Rock, Ark. On Sunday, Cummins' friend Christopher Barbour, 36, invited Cummins to his house in Maumelle. Cummins arrived at 8 p.m. with his friend Williams.
According to a police report Barbour said the trio "began to drink and use illegal narcotics."
"Mr. Barbour stated that he was not sure of the drugs that they were using but that they were snorting them," Officer Gergory Roussie wrote in his report of the scene. He also said that they consumed alcohol in a hot tub.
Barbour said that around 11 p.m., he left the other two men in the jacuzzi and went to sleep on the couch. When he woke up at 8 a.m. the next morning, he found his bed still made and the two men in a bathtub with no water in it. Barbour began to clean up glassware from the previous night and woke Cummins up.
They quickly realized that Williams was unconscious and looked discolored. "Brett screamed and became ill and left the bathroom and vomited on the carpet in the living room," Roussie wrote in the police report. Cummins left the house but eventually came back to give a police statement.
The men called the police, who arrived shortly after. Officer Roussie entered the bathroom and saw a naked, white male in the bathtub.
"The subject was lying on his right side in a fetal position, his face was blue and purple in color with a chain around his neck," Roussie wrote. He also wrote that he believed the chain was a dog collar and that he "observed a small ring of blood around the bottom of the tub."
Neighbors noticed the party on Sunday night but were shocked to hear about the mysterious death. ...

Brooklyn Eagle
S&M sex master John Hopkins appeared in court this week and will proceed to trial next month. Hopkins, 45, was arrested in February after allegations arose that he had enslaved a 27-year-old woman who had responded to his Craigslist ad for S&M sex and then traveled from Wisconsin to Williamsburg to live with him free of rent.
Hopkins, an audio engineer, is charged with dozens of felony and misdemeanor sex crimes, including rape in the first degree.
The victim, who did not show up to court earlier this year, reportedly admitted that the initial encounter with Hopkins was consensual and that the two had an online correspondence before she came to Brooklyn. However, after living in his Williamsburg apartment for a week in February, the victim reportedly called her mother, who contacted the NYPD.
Police found the victim chained to a radiator and curled in a fetal position in Hopkins' apartment.
Kings County Supreme Court Justice Patricia Di Mango said that despite evidence from both sides that the sex may have been consensual, the question is if the victim ever said "no." Di Mango, however, did release the defendant from jail on his own recognizance pending trial, which is set to begin on Sept. 20. ...

Denver Westword Arts
It's a jungle in there. The lighting is dim, but you can still spy the wild life scattered across the landscape. Writhing, naked slaves are shackled to crosses, their desperate wails punctuated by the "thud...thud...THUD" of leather floggers meeting tender skin. A dispassionate domme watches her collared subbie boy struggle to free himself from the ropes that bind him and the saliva-dripping ball gag forced into his mouth. Audible moans pierce the collective consciousness (and the synth-pop soundtrack) as needles prick flesh, and the room is permeated by the heady aroma of glass electrodes hitting flesh.
It's Saturday night at the Denver Sanctuary, the only public dungeon club in Denver. Although many kinksters own and operate private dungeons in their homes and offices for events and play parties, those are strictly invitation-only. But the Sanctuary, located in a 3,200-square-foot industrial warehouse near I-25 and Sixth Avenue, is open to all who want to answer the call of the wild — and are willing to sign a disclaimer.
When she took over the Sanctuary five years ago, Love Slave's goal was to provide a safe, non-discriminatory place where everyone could express their kinks without being judged or experiencing negative reactions from the vanilla community, people whose only exposure to BDSM (bondage/discipline/sadomasochism), dominance and submission (D/s), and all the other sexual shenanigans that fall into the catch-all term of "kink" might be the movie Secretary or the occasional episode of CSI. In essence, she wanted to create a wild-life sanctuary.
Much like endangered wildlife, many kinksters hide themselves, their habits and their habitats from public view to protect their privacy — but they aren't just the girls with the blue bangs and lip rings or the guys with the bondage pants and the vampire contact lenses. Kinksters are everyone and everywhere, hiding in plain sight. They shop at King Soopers, sit next to you at the dentist's office and might be your boss, your landlord or the person in line behind you at the coffee shop. "Some people are so far in the closet they may as well be in Narnia having tea with Mr. Tumnus," says local kinkster Skylar.
"None of us are normal, but we hide it very well," says Nyx, an organizer with SKALES (Safe Kink Adult Lifestyle Education and Support, at www.skales.org). "A study was done that estimates 20 percent of the population is at least a little kinky. Whether you know it or not, we're all around you: at the grocery store, the gas station, on the bus, at the hospital — everywhere."
Even so, the mating rituals of Denver's kinksters are widely misunderstood by 'nillas, Love Slave notes. The scene at the Sanctuary is not a free-for-all sex orgy, and dungeons are not to be confused with swingers' clubs. There are both universal and location/event-specific rules to be aware of and followed — or else the leather boot will be used, and not in a good way. While this world might look dangerous to the uninitiated, the difference between kink play and actual abuse is simple: Play is done with safety, respect and consent; abuse is not, and abuse is anathema to the kink scene. The herd must be protected. ...

Not long ago, I sat at a cocktail lounge in the East Village with a realtor friend as she extolled the virtues of Le Trapeze, a swinger's club in midtown. The experience, she swore, had cured her of "body image issues." Which I took to mean that everyone else there looked worse. It didn't really sound like my scene, to be honest, until she mentioned the buffet.
Now this was interesting. The scent of sterno mingling with lustful ardor. Ziti. Potato skins. Prime rib …
When she added that proper swinger etiquette requires all attendees to wear tube socks, I was officially intrigued. The fanciful vision of naked swingers wandering around in tube socks while gnawing on buffalo wings captured my imagination.
I resolved to write a restaurant review of Le Trapeze, picturing myself describing in florid detail the hint of dill in the green beans, the spicy chipotle sauce, the subtle saffron aroma of the rice pilaf. Rushing home to check out the website, I learned that tube socks are required at all times (whether for reasons of hygiene or aesthetics was not made clear) and that the club doesn't serve alcohol, though a variety of mixers are on hand and patrons may bring their own booze. Which is how I came to be dashing out for footwear and vodka.
My bag bulging with swingers club supplies, I enlisted a friend and headed over to 17 East 27th street on Saturday night. Club rules stipulate that single men are not allowed inside, so as we neared the door, a guy stepped over to us.
"Do you want any company?" he asked.
"No," I replied as we were buzzed in. "We're just here for the hot buffet." ...

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The videotape tells a different story -- that is the claim from a San Francisco lawyer accused of sexually assaulting three women he found on Craigslist. He videotaped some of those encounters, evidence he insists prove his accusers are lying.
The case has sex, the attorney says there are lies and there is videotape. The case also involves sadomasochism and sexual domination. All of it came out Wednesday at a preliminary hearing.
Three women who say they were victims are testifying. ABC7 has decided not to reveal their identities.
The 19-year-old woman says she responded to Michael Hoffman's ad on Craigslist in early June.
Hoffman wrote that he liked to degrade and dominate his partners.
The 50-year-old defendant is a labor lawyer with a downtown office. He specializes in cases where workers claim they have been wrongfully terminated and sexually harassed.
"Michael Hoffman put his ad in thw Craigslist looking for people to 'I want to beat you, I want to pull your hair, I want you to whimper,'" defense attorney Stu Hanlon said.
The woman, who responded with the name Liz, says she had sex with Hoffman twice before the assault in his apartment near Aquatic Park on June 25.
Liz says she told Hoffman she wanted to chat and did not want sex but that he raped her anyway.
Hanlon says Liz and the other two reported victims knew what they would encounter when they responded to Hoffman's ads for rough sex and that it was consensual.
Just before the noon break, Hanlon surprised the court by saying Hoffman had videotaped the sexual encounter with Liz.
"It's just the evidence shows to me she's lying, and the video will support it as does the audio; it's sad why she would do this, I have no idea," Hanlon said....

After months of wrangling with the city, the south-city BDSM venue known as "The Facility" is legally in the clear to operate, proprietor Joe Kriegesmann says."We are approved for educational seminars," says Kriegesmann, who is also known as "Satan's Master." He tells us he received a letter from the Board of Public Service giving him the go-ahead to operate the club, which mayoral spokeswoman Kara Bowlin confirms.Kriegesmann and his associates, the Clan of the Barbarian, will use the cavernous south-city space to host experts in BDSM practices. BDSM refers to bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism and submission and dominance -- consensual exchanges of physical and mental power than can be erotically charged for participants. The space features human-sized birdcages, racks and spreader bars, among plenty of other amenities for painful pleasures.Kriegesmann has been working to get the club operating within the strictures of every applicable city law, but it hasn't been easy figuring out just what those laws are. As we reported back in May, Kriegesmann obtained a business permit and an occupancy permit, which he thought were sufficient. But it turns out the city had more hoops for him to jump through. On July 28, Kriegesmann went before a three-member city panel to answer more questions about The Facility. Alderman Craig Schmid, in whose district The Facility sits, had told Daily RFT in May that his reservations about the space weren't about kink, but public safety. At the July hearing, though, he seemed to switch gears. "Ostensibly, the application is for educational seminars," he said at the hearing. "But I cannot reasonably ignore what is the actual use of the facilities."The experts will teach classes on subjects ranging from scene etiquette to toy and tool use to rope bondage techniques and everything in between. The club will also host parties with space available for BDSM play, although Kriegesmann has always stressed that sex, alcohol, nudity and minors are verboten.Kriegesmann has said all along that he wants to know what laws apply so that he can bring the club into compliance. It's been his goal to operate a BDSM club that's fully legal and has no fear of being raided. But his is the only club he knows of that's not trying to operate under the radar; the trail he's blazing is a new one for St. Louis.

$1000 really?
If I didn't know better I would say Tesla is trying to discourage us from using this company!
NRG eVGO is installing stations that can charge our cars 150 miles an hour, BUT.......
I stopped to see one yesterday at the Camarillo outlet malls. Their Freedom Stations can charge a Tesla 150 miles in an hour, 5 times faster than a level 2, but only 1/2 the speed of Tesla's super Charging stations. These stations could come in vary handy in an emergency, but I have been told that we can't use them at this point because our car didn't come with the correct adapter for this unit.
I have also been told that the adapter will cost $1000, which seems to be very userous. I have never heard of an adapter costing so much. I have purchased several over the years, and this one would seem to be gold plated.
I called NRG today and talked to a rep for about 30 minutes. They fit their charging stations for the majority of electric vehicles, which did not include Tesla.
He said that adapters are available over seas but are in the process of being tested here.
He indicated that Tesla will produce the adapter, and he agreed that they are way to expensive. He was going to ask his boss if they could include an adapter at each unit.
$1000.00 is ridicules!
If I didn't no better, I would assume that Tesla is charging so much to discourage us from going with this company.
Call 855-509-5581 to talk to a company rep and voice your concerns, or e-mail Tesla.
$1000 is just crazy!
Don't buy it.
$1000 for the ChaDemo adapter is cheap.
Kleist, why do you say that $1000 is cheap?
$1,000 seems like a very reasonable price to me. It's not just a physical plug interface issue but rather includes a protocol converter.
Like Amped said, if it's not worth the price to you then don't buy one. Or consider building one of your own if you know how to do it cheaper.
I am in agreement with Kleist.
Us Model S users are spoiled with cheap prices and we don't realize it!
Look at Roadster J1772 slow adapter. It's $ 750.00 for one piece and we could buy a whole portable charger bundle for Model S for $650.
For $250 more, at the price of $1,000 you can charge much faster than J1772 can, so what's the complaint?
Don't shot the messenger.
Are Tesla's other adapters so expensive, please explain!
If this is truly economical fine, but this just seems like fan boys falling all over themselves, and I am a big fan boy but maybe not such a lemming.
NRG felt that $1000 was over priced, I felt that $1000 was over priced.
How long will it take for pay back?
If you are truly interested in why the adaptor costs as much as it does, please seek out the specification for 1772 DC charging (fundamentally the electrical interface Tesla adheres to although Tesla's connector is a much more elegant solution) and compare that to the ChaDemo interface specification. I believe you will better understand why the "adaptor" is so bloody expensive.
If you are not the technical type, think of how you would build a Betamax to VHS "adaptor". You buy BM machine then hook the video inputs/outputs to a VHS machine and now you have an "adaptor". The analogy is not perfect but you get the idea. Actually, I've made assumptions about your age (I'm an old fart) so perhaps I should have used a PC to Mac adaptor. The idea is similar.
"Us Model S users are spoiled with cheap prices and we don't realize it!"
What do you mean, I paid $116,000 for my car.
and also remember, you are upset over and adaptor price from a company that is building out a nation wide network of twice as fast chargers for your car which are free to use :)
@Sterlingllc1 - any idea what goes into that adapter?
If you look an any electrical parts site you will find that just a 600volt 100amp weather proof non-fusible DC disconnect can costs up to $500.
I would expect a custom made converter to cost a lot more since it includes a switch, two 50kW connectors (one end plugs in the car the other accepts the charger's cord) and electronics to covert communications.
No harm in petitioning Tesla to lower the price tho.... one never knows.
It is expensive. Going up to Oregon early May. Chargers are scanty along the Oregon coast. They have scattered Level 2 chargers accompanied by a Chademo. For my trip I believe it would give piece of mind. Unfortunately they are only available late May, early June. Looks like I'm going to have to hope for available Level 2 chargers near my hotels otherwise I may be spending many hours hanging around parking lots. A Chademo could allow me a quick hour charge while having a meal. Looks like in the near future Nissan dealers are installing Chademo at most of their dealerships so could be very useful when we go off the Supercharger highway although within a year this may be moot. Bottom line if it were available today I would buy one. However unless I do a similar trip in the next year or say I think I may rely on the supercharger network.
Lola, thank you, you at least make sense of things.
I agree that Tesla is building out our beloved charging stations, but when driving around town and having a change of plans, maybe a detour to help a friend, stopping at a level 2 station which takes an hour for 28 miles just doesn't cut it, but 150 miles in an hour could make a big difference.
These stations are being placed in convenient locations around town, but for $1000 the pay back seems a long term investment.
If that is the cost to make this unit, fine, but isn't it a tad more than the other adapters available for the car?
It is hugely more expensive than the other adaptors. As another poster has said, all the another adaptors are basically fancy short 240V extension cords with a different connector at each end. You can see how these would be inexpensive to produce in quantity thus Tesla's price.
50 KW DC interfaces that switch communication protocols are a bear to design, manufacture and then certify. I'm actually a bit surprised Tesla is doing this and can not for the life of me think it has any profit margin by the time you amortize the required engineering over the very small number of units they will produce.
WRT 240V charging, I've been living with the available charging infrastructure with my cars for over a year now. My move was to make sure I had twin chargers as that provided me 60 mph of charging for when the unexpected happens. 20 KW of charging is not ChaDemo 50 KW but at least it is twice as good as the standard 10 KW.
Think of it more like an entirely different UMC which cost about $600 and that UMC is not a 50kW device.
The Chademo adapter does not incorporate your UMC at all (like the other adapters do). It is it's own thing completely... so basically you are purchasing another UMC with a much higher kW rating.
@Sterlingllc1 - two considerations
- UMC handles 40A = $650 ( about what typical EVSE boxes cost )
- HPWC handles 80A = $1200
- ChaDemo handles 125A = $1000 plus it has to translate the protocol
- UMC = every car has one meaning high volume production
- ChaDemo adapter... maybe 1-2% of owners will buy = low volume.
Thank guys, I just wanted to understand why it cost so much.
With Tesla Charging stations going up all around us, I can't see many Tesla owners paying $1000 for this convenience, but with 30,000 plus Tesla's on the road I would think that NRG might want to subsidize these unit to get our business.
I just don't see the value of paying $1000 for the convenience of reducing around town range anxiety.
Amped was probably right, no one will buy it until the price comes down.
Amped, have you placed your order?
TEPCO (yes, that famous nuclear meltdown company) promotes CHAdemo.
However, Honda EV fit, Toyota RAV 4 EV in Japan and others in Europe and USA don't buy into CHAdeMo!
You heard that CHAdeMO is on Death Row, right?
Its future is uncertain in the US because the US standard is SAE combo, NOT CHAdeMo.
Against that background, I am surprised that Tesla even sells it to you, at any price!
It's a temporary but costly solution until Superhargers are populated.
No question that you already paid quite a lot for your car.
However, when compare to our predecessors Roadster owners, theirs started about $110,000 and by time they added options and taxes, their cars were almost $200,000!
Remember, before Tesla, protesters offered GM over a million dollar to keep EV1 but GM refused the money and crushed EV1 instead.
So to put in perspective, yes, Tesla charges us a lot of money.
But it is still cheap because they satisfy our requests for a price.
That is why so many places are putting in the inexpensive Clipper Creek CS 100 charging stations that everyone can use with a cheap J1772 adapter.
Problem though the J1772 is slow and not always in a convenient location to a hotel.
It is strange how their web site does not come up, but I did get their customer service and then corporate office on the line.
Their charging stations at the Camarillo outlet mall were very impressive. They were well marked as electric car charging stations only, and corporate said that retailers take a no nonsense attitude towards ICE cars parking in their spots. The parking lot was full, but NOT ONE ICE was parked in these spots.
I wouldn't mind getting a 150 mile charge in an hour, is anyone else "besides Tesla" giving that kind of charge?
Is anyone even coming close?
UMC adapters cost $45, but the Chademo adapter is a very different animal. It would take a while to explain, but the posters above are correct, it is actually a bargain at $1000.
Do note that Tesla doesn't owe us any Chademo adapter at all. They support a standard (J1772) and a very fast and free proprietary standard. And now, as an option, it supports another fast DC charging solution. Which is more than any other manufacturer on the planet can say.
No other EV supports TWO fast DC charging standards (of which one is free to use). Other manufacturers are more than welcome to license Tesla's supercharger protocol, none have.
Due to the novelty and low volume demand, Tesla pricing is justifiable.
I do appreciate your effort in bringing down the adapter price.
I welcome electric outlets and chargers in any size and shape, anytime and anywhere so I do praise NRG eVGO for making EV charging easier.
@shop - wait until they make an adapter for the not yet finalized but most clumsy CSS proposed standard... that adapter would be straight pins and cost less.
TU Shop.
My post was intended to understand why an adapter could cost $1000, thanks to all of your posts, I now understand. But I still wonder why other providers can't provide a charge near 150 miles per hour, other than Tesla?
I will choke buying this adapter, but it might be my best option around town.
That is unless the Tesla station opens near my home in Oxnard Ca. I heard that it was in the works, but then nothing.
But then I would be nothing more than those locals clogging up the Hawthorn station, or any station positioned near many owners, allowing travelers to just sit and wait.
Not sure I want to be that guy.
You might not have to wait for long for a Supercharger near you :)
Have you stopped by Collection at Riverpark lately?
Please take a peek through any construction fence that you can spot and we love a picture if you can!
The car industry has been very slow or very unresponsive to the needs of EV community, including the need for fast charge.
Their solutions to "faster" charge is very expensive and very slow.
That's when Tesla came in and have offered the industry a cheaper solution and a much quicker solution for fast charge.
The car industry rejected Tesla's solution and go their own way.
Your question is why the industry's charging speed is so slow?
The answer is the same: because the car industry rejected Tesla's solution and go their own way.
Why would the car industry stick to a charging protocol that is so slow and costly?
You can make your own theories.
But that is why Tesla is called "disruptive."
You may ask why would anyone wants to send a message by telegraph which is costlier and slower than writing an e-mail?
You can make your own theories.
Telegraph folks would shake their heads and say why would anyone wants to write an e-mail?
That's why Mad Money's Jim Cramer on CNBC shakes his head and says Tesla is a cult.
And that is why Tesla stock is selling for more than $200 while Merrill Lynch shake their heads and reaffirms $65 price target on Tesla.
In conclusion, it's a free country, so do what is right for your situation.
If it is worth more than $1000 to you, buy it. If not, don't.
Perhaps they could include a Tesla nozzle on the charging station? Compared to the cost of the charging station and installation, it seems $1000 would not be that much.
Would be much cooler if Tesla instead installed them permanently at CHADeMO stations so we could all buy fractional ownership access for say, $100.
With free SuperChargers, we'd rarely use the pay-to-play CHAdeMO stations, but at a modest price, it's a nice backup.
Doesn't make sense to have thousands of owners buy and lug them, when hundreds of permanent installs would do the trick at much lower cost.
The CHAdeMO network operators would welcome it because every car is a paying customer for their power.
As an Electrical Engineer myself, I'm going to go with totally fair. 125A is a huge amount of current; at that point, even contacts and wires start to get expensive. Then add in the active electronics to translate the protocols and amortize the several months' engineering and NRE over the relatively few adapters they're likely to sell. The other 'adapters' are just injection molded plastic over a NEMA plug with a simple ID chip.
Keep in mind regular mobile connector costs $650, which is cheap as EVSEs go.
I would like you to notice the difference between you original post when starting this thread
>$1000 really?
>If I didn't know better I would say Tesla is trying to discourage us >from using this company!
and your post from later on after others had contributed reasons...
>Thank guys, I just wanted to understand why it cost so much.
You started out by accusing Tesla of trying to rip you off, instead of a simple question.
I'll also add an additional reason, besides the complexity of this particular adapter: When Tesla made the adapters that come with the car, the NEMA 5-15, NEMA 14-50, and the J7221, they could amortize the costs of designing, testing, and tooling up to make these adapters over the thousands (or potentially hundreds of thousands) of adapters.
In addition, as other posters have pointed out, that the other adapters are an order of magnitude easier and cheaper to make than this one is.
If Tesla sells only a couple of hundred of these adapters, they have to amortize the costs over only the couple of hundred adapters they sell. If it costs them $200,000 to design, test, and tool up, and they sell 2,000 adapters, that alone is $1,000 per adapter.

Protestors with Gov. Brennan, May 25, 1979
Contributed by Maine Historical Society
The Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant emergency shutdown spurred the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to shut down the Maine Yankee plant as well as four others.
In May 1979, the NRC allowed Maine Yankee to reopen, thus spurring protest movements that led to an unsuccessful referendum in September 1980 to close the plant.

And they must resist the tempting talk of reporters who pitch them on why a piece in their outlet will be good for them.
A pro-Putin outlet got in touch to say Shamir had been asking for $10,000 for access to the cables.
With no family, little community support, and no outlet for education, they face a bleak future.

San Diegans' enduring memories of the space shuttle
One of the most successful, disastrous and incomplete chapters in NASA's history is coming to an end with Friday's launch of the space shuttle Atlantis, which will transfer supplies to the International Space Station in a pas de deux 220 miles above Earth.
The 12-day mission will take Atlantis' crew of four to a station that was, in many ways, harder to build than it was to place humans on the moon during Project Apollo. But Atlantis won't venture beyond low-earth-orbit, a reminder that NASA hasn't met its goal of using the shuttle program to move deeper into space.
The program, which suffered two major accidents that killed 14 astronauts in flight, will give way to emerging plans to build a new spacecraft that is likely to be smaller than the shuttle. For the moment, though, NASA is celebrating the shuttle era -- a period that stirs vivid memories in many San Diegans.
Many local residents helped build the shuttle fleet. Others marveled at the sight of the orbiter soaring into space. And virtually everyone remembers the loss of Challenger and Columbia.
We asked local residents what they remember most about the shuttle flights. Here's what they told us:
Guy Jones
San Diego, 50
Worked at Kennedy Space Center (1979-84) helping prepare satellites for launch from the shuttle
"I'm taking my daughter to see the last shuttle launch - she's seven years old. The sound of the shuttle going off is the most amazing, astonishing thing ever. The ground shakes. The air -- it's like someone punching you in the stomach. It's beyond belief. You walk away with pride for being part of that. The shuttle is the most complex rocket ever launched. Every single thing has to be checked, re-checked. Everything has to be done perfectly, without any lapse in quality or you could kill somebody. It's an amazing feat to get that thing up in the air."
Francis French
Oceanside, 40
Director of Education at the San Diego Air & Space Museum
"Seeing a shuttle launch, at night or during the day, is very impressive. But driving out to the launch pad the night before a launch is in many ways even more impressive. The shuttle is lit by intensely bright spotlights and the white orbiter and solid rocket boosters gleam against the black Florida sky. Attached to the orange external fuel tank and launch gantry, the shuttle looks ethereal, fragile and very different from the squat appearance it has on the runway. On the pad, ready to go, it looks peaceful and serene, and it is hard to imagine the area will erupt in crackling noise and intense flame just a few hours later."
Judy Bowen
San Marcos, 77
Worked at Plant 19 at General Dynamics Convair (1981-83) while the fuselage of Atlantis was built.
"Since (the fuselage) was built upside down it was a big day when it was turned upright and put on the truck to haul it away. I think everybody in the building came to see the event. I remember that it was late morning because they had to get the truck loaded before quitting time. We were several deep watching over the railing. It's something you didn't see very often. Later on, when we watched the shuttle launches, we thought 'that's not the one, that's not the one –- that's the one!'"

KENNEWICK — Kennewick High School defeated Walla Walla in the top two singles spots Thursday in a Mid-Columbia Conference boys tennis match, but from there it was all Walla Walla as the Blue Devils picked up a 5-2 victory over the host Lions.
"We had some really, really tough singles matches," Wa-Hi coach Bryan Eggart said. "We knew our top three singles matches were going to be really tough and they were all three-setters. We got done at 7:45 last night, it was our longest match of the year."
Wa-Hi's Connor Christensen and Zach Anderson fell at the No. 1 and 2 spots before Andrew Bateman picked up Wa-Hi's first win of the day. He defeated Mitchell Way, 6-4, 6-7 and 6-4 in a marathon of a match.
"Bateman had our best singles match of the day," Eggart said.
At the No. 4 spot, Nick Fuller was the only Blue Devil to sweep his singles opponent.
Wa-Hi sliced through the Lions in the doubles matches, with all three Blue Devil teams winning in straight sets.
"I thought in doubles we had great showings across the board," Eggart said. "I'm very proud of our doubles players for doing a geat job, we knew we had to get those doubles wins to get a team win and they pulled it out."
The Blue Devils improve to 7-2 on the season, with Wa-Hi's only losses coming to league-leading and undefeated Richland.
Districts begin Friday and run through Saturday of next week at Pasco High School.
The top two singles players and top two doubles teams will advance to regionals.
At singles, Eggart said he expected Christensen and Josh Kuznetsov, who was sick for Thursday's match, to make pushes for regionals play.
"Hopefully between the the two of them one of them, one should get in," Eggart said.
And at doubles, Bateman and Fuller should have a good shot at regionals after the duo paired up to place second at the Tri-Cities Invite in April.
"I think they'll have a good shot to finish top two in doubles," Eggart said. "We had a strong showing (at the Invite), hopefully we can keep going and produce some strong regionals competitors."
SINGLES — Chad McKenzie, Ken, def. Connor Christensen, WW, 6-1, 2-6, 6-1. Jared Bold, Ken, def. Zach Anderson, WW, 7-6, 3-6, 6-2. Andrew Bateman, WW, def. Mitchell Way, Ken, 6-4, 6-7, 6-4. Nick Fuller, WW, def. Kylan Becho, Ken, 6-0, 6-0.
DOUBLES — Douglas Rowley/Parker Toon, WW, def. Caleb Leavitt/Aaron Moses, Ken, 6-2, 6-3. Micah Rambo/Malcolm Gabbard, WW, def. Mason Kippert/Luis Vargas, Ken, 6-0, 6-0. Cole Woelfle/Gerrod Peck, WW, def. Jude Htun/David Kohan, Ken, 6-0, 6-2.

CIBC Ombudsmans Office
Our Role and Mandate:
The office of the CIBC Ombudsman works closely with both clients and CIBCs business leaders to address client concerns.
Our mandate is to review unresolved complaints involving CIBC and its group of companies (collectively CIBC). We try to settle disputes fairly through an independent and thorough investigation. Recommendations are non-binding and parties are free to pursue other avenues if a settlement is not reached.
The cases brought to our office allow us to identify areas, products and services where changes might be made. To this end, the CIBC Ombudsman communicates regularly with CIBCs senior business leaders to highlight opportunities for improvement.
How we can help:
If you have an unresolved issue with CIBC, we may be able to help if the following criteria have been met:
- You have followed CIBCs Complaint Process and the bank has completed its review and provided you with a final response;
- The matter has not been referred to a law firm or litigation has not been initiated by you or CIBC;
- The issue falls within our Mandate
Our Process:
- We will acknowledge your request within 48 business hours
- If CIBC has not concluded its review, we will refer you back to the appropriate area to complete that part of CIBCs Complaint Process
- If the above criteria have been met, we will send you a Consent Letter for Complaint Escalation, which you must sign prior to commencing an investigation
- Most investigations are concluded within four to six weeks. However, some issues take longer than others, and we will keep you informed of our progress
- Any recommendations we make are non-binding and parties are free to accept or reject them, and pursue other options for resolution
Issues outside of our mandate:
Some banking issues fall outside of the Offices mandate. These include:
- Pricing and interest rates (including lending, investment and foreign exchange rates).
- Service fees (including NSF fees and mortgage prepayment costs).
- Lending decisions and credit adjudication.*
- Client divestiture decisions.*
- Matters that CIBC has referred to outside legal counsel or that are in litigation. If a client decides to pursue legal action during the course of our investigation, we may cease our investigation.
- Credit bureau ratings except where CIBC has made an administration error causing an incorrect credit bureau rating.
- Trespass orders.
- Day-to-day business decisions i.e. introducing, withdrawing or amending a product or service, or other matters relating to general bank policy.
In addition:
- The Office may not have access to CIBC records typically in excess of six years
- We do not offer legal or regulatory opinions or advice
* In these cases, the Office will only investigate whether CIBC has followed proper process and whether the client has been given sufficient notice of the banks decision.
CIBCs Ombudsman:
CIBCs Ombudsman is Kimberley A. McVittie, BA, LLB, JD. Ms. McVittie joined CIBC in 1993 following experience in the private sector. Ms. McVittie was CIBCs Vice-President, Associate General Counsel before her appointment in August of 2006 to the role of CIBC Ombudsman and Chief Privacy Officer.

Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

graham crackers
4 tablespoons
large marshmallows
1/2 cup
1 cup
frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract
2 (1 ounce) squares
unsweetened chocolate, grated
This was a strange consistency! Very thin marshmallow mixture and just a cup of whipped cream, which didn't fluff it up hardly at all. The taste was good, but it wasn't very pretty. I did like the way the marsmallows conglomerated with the crust. Tasty, but should be tweaked with a little.
I am so glad I don't count calories! I made this for my Mom and we polished it off with milk. Will make again soon.
4 Ratings
My mom submitted this recipe, and I want to respond to Syrielle... if you used regular whipped cream instead of whipped topping (ie. Cool Whip), that's what went wrong for you. Regular whipped cream is too thin. Made as written, it turns out fluffy and delicious!
nice crust

very nice 1910 era hotel with warm areas to visit with others , close to Freeway maybe 5 blocks but also downtown old area beautiful to walk around.

Family Traveling with Young Children
It is a historic hotel and definitely not a 3 star hotel. The rooms are old and dirty. I didn't even want to take a shower there. The elevator is very small and unloading your luggage is a royal pain. It is close to everything but you have to park in a garage several blocks away and parking is not free. I would not want to stay here again.

Family Traveling with Young Children
I haven't seen a hotel this outdated in 20 years. Not only were the staff unhelpful when I said I needed two beds, but my expectations that this was a 3 1/2 star hotel (how Priceline ranked it) were totally disappointed. I would rank it 1 star, based only on location.

If you like the atmosphere of period-piece hotels, this one will not disappoint. Though old and limited in design due to being an old masonry structure, it is sufficiently upgraded, though rooms, bathrooms, etc. are small having been defined by the needs of a different era. But you can't beat the location. This is not a hotel for budget travelers, though it is very reasonably priced. The restaurant has EXCELLENT food at a good price for what you get, but will be too expensive and not go over well with the frozen waffles, under-ripe melon salad and coffee crowd. The staff were exceptionally warm and friendly during both the afternoon and morning shifts when we had interactions with them. ...

Open kinetic chain exercises
Open kinetic chain exercises (OKC) or open chain exercises are exercises that are performed where the hand or foot is free to move. The opposite of OKC are closed kinetic chain exercises (CKC). Both are effective for strengthening and rehabilitation objectives.[1] Closed chain exercises tend to offer more "functional" athletic benefits such as jumping and squatting.[2]
Single-joint versions of these exercises are typically non-weight bearing, with the movement occurring at the hinge joints (elbow or knee).[3] If there is any weight applied, it is often applied to the distal portion of the limb. Open chain exercises are postulated to be advantageous in rehabilitation settings because they can be easily manipulated to selectively target specific muscles, or specific heads of certain muscles, more effectively than their closed chain counterparts, at different phases of contraction.

Every season RDM obsesses on the NFL team win total over/unders. It's one of the more fun bets in all of sports. A single well-placed bet turns an otherwise random team into a must see weekly event. Today we look at the 2012 New York Giants .The number: 8.5
Eli Manning is a ******* winner. That point has been proven again, and again, and again. The rest of this division is filled with a bunch of bonafide losers. That point has been proven again, and again, and again. And again.
At the end of the day, the NFC East is just another day at the beach for Eli and the Giants.
This is more a pick against the Eagles, 'Skins and Cowboys. That should be at least 5 wins for the G-men right there.
Injuries, which are a massive part of any pre-season over.under bet, are my only concern with the Giants. The team played a lot of games last year. Barring a rash of untimely injuries, the Giants trot to an NFC East title.The pick: over 8.5 win
