Ground Beef Recall The USDA says Valley Meats LLC, of Coal Valley, Ill., is recalling approximately 95,898 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli. You can check out the labels here (PDF) and the recall notice here. [USDA]
I like that they only choose to spell "Patty" correct in SOME of the labels. That there is the sign of a company with stringent quality control standards.
I stopped eating ground beef a few E. coli recalls ago.
What kind of people does the beef industry hire for their quality control? This doesn't seem to happen with chicken, lamb, etc.
@Shoelace: It's not who they hire, it's the way beef is processed.
@youbastid: How is it processed differently from lamb?
@Shoelace: I'm not quite sure how lamb is processed, but the way most beef factories operate is at a pace far too frenzied for the workers. There is a very precise method of tearing out the intestinal tract of cows and oftentimes the workers are rushed to just do it quickly, so intestines burst and blow shit all over the carcass, which is then ground into the beef.
I guess cooking the meat was too hard for people? So the solution is to destroy a ton of food.
@Corporate_guy: I would think there was some tolerance for E. Coli, like parts per million calculations, that it has to blow before the USDA "strongly requests" they recall.
It irritates me to no end, but apparently the reason is that even if they cook the meat, people, being slovenly beasts, don't realize that they've touched the meat, and then touch everything else in the kitchen, thereby contaminating the whole place.
Then everyone gets sick, and they can't figure out why, despite the meat having been cooked, and even if they washed the cutting board, or whatever.
@subtlefrog: It irritates me to no end that now the standard is that all meat has to be "cooked thoroughly" to be safe. High quality meat can basically be eaten raw. Burgers should be able to be eaten medium rare safely. This crap meat, you have to char until it's a brick for it to be safe. That's ok for SOME meat, but it shouldn't be the standard.
@subtlefrog: And also with this crap, no matter how well you cook it, you're still eating shit. That's not awesome either.
@youbastid: Ever toured a water treatment plant?
@subtlefrog: It's disturbing to know people touch raw meat without washing their hands thoroughly before and after.
@Corporate_guy: I HATE well-done beef. It's dry and nasty. I want my burgers and my steaks medium-rare or medium, depending on mood and where we're eating (there is a place that has freshly ground, organic burgers and omg…they are the best medium-rare…mmm).
@nakedscience: Organic. You know that is a meaningless word, right? Sounds like they roped you in with some kind of placebo effect.
Regardless, I'll take my chances. You can pry a hamburger I am eating from my cold dead hands.
I don't think I would want to eat something called "flavor burst" anyway.
So much for "food safety" huh?
"Stay on topic moose!!"
Oh, right. I returned recalled ground beef patties once a year or two ago, for the same reason. Unopened box. And the company went out of business. Topps.
I've been buying roasts and grinding it myself for the past couple of years. I have a stand mixer with a grinder attachment. Not only is it safer, but it can be cheaper too.
Around here, Sam's Club sells sirloin roasts for around $2.20 per pound, which is cheaper than any of their ground beef. And I scored some round eye roasts on sale at $1.99/lb the other week. I also buy pork roasts ($1.14/lb or so) and make my own sausage.
"Flavor Burst"?
Funny. The ingredients of the Flavor Burst burger include tomato powder, onion powder, various forms of sugar, vinegar, spices and salt. That's ketchup!
e coli doesn't go away if you cook it long enough?

Stop Mold Growth
DEAR TIM: There has been so much news lately about mold that I am very concerned about what might happen to my family and myself in my new home. When I was growing up, mold was never and issue. What is different now? Why is mold such a problem with newer homes? Older homes seem to be somewhat immune. Chad G., Birmingham, AL
DEAR CHAD: As much as I hate to say it, I think the mold problem is just starting to raise its ugly head. For many years I have witnessed building construction practices that, in my opinion, contribute to severe mold growth and subsequent structural failure from wood rot. The problems can be traced to several things. First and foremost among them, many modern builders simply do not understand the dynamics of water vapor, condensation, ventilation and exterior moisture protection. In the years ahead, I predict that mold discovery and mold related issues will reach epidemic proportions in recently built homes.
Let's discuss the older home you grew up in and the thousands of older homes that are still occupied and in excellent condition in your community and others around the USA. Older homes simply were not built as tightly as the homes of today. The weatherstripping around doors and windows was poor or non-existent. Many homes had little or no wall insulation. The houses were drafty. Inexpensive heating fuel allowed these building practices to exist. Residential central air conditioning had yet to be invented. Builders understood the importance of tar paper beneath wood siding. Brick structures were two or often three courses thick. Indoor humidity in the winter time was very low.
Because of these factors and several more, water that triggers mold growth didn't collect inside of wall cavities, on interior wall surfaces and in attic spaces. The drafty nature of the construction allowed the water to rapidly evaporate into the atmosphere. Mold most certainly did grow, but only in places where water leakage had become a chronic problem.
The energy crisis of the 1970's turned the residential construction industry on its ear. There was a rush to seal air leaks in houses and improve the weatherstripping on doors and windows. Vapor barriers in exterior walls became a building code requirement. In many areas of the nation, forced air heating and central air conditioning with its necessary duct work replaced traditional hot water or steam radiant heating systems. Along with the duct work came whole house humidifiers. Humidifiers are a good thing, but if not operated properly, they can become mold's best friend.
The rapid growth in the overall population created a housing boom. This led to an influx of builders and sub-contractors into the residential housing industry that had little or no formal training. These individuals, without knowing it, started a trend of poor building that was, and continues to be, unknowingly passed on to subsequent builders and sub contractors. Just because an individual has been doing something for 20 or 25 years doesn't mean it is right!
For example, go back in time and you would never see a roofer caulk metal flashing in place. Sure, modern caulks are a far cry better than old brittle butyl caulks, but they can and do break down over time. On the other hand, 40 pound tin flashing embedded 3/4 inch deep into a mortar joint has been known to last 70 years or more.
Old builders discovered well over 100 years ago that overlapping layers of ordinary 15 pound tar paper stopped rain water and snow melt from touching vital wall sheathing and wood framing members. Today we have modern air and water infiltration barriers, but many houses are built without this vital secondary moisture protection. Wind driven rain can and will get behind all types of siding. It can also penetrate the single layer of brick veneer that so many homeowners think is waterproof.
To stop mold growth, your builder must be well educated and be able to demonstrate a knowledge of how to use modern building materials in such a way that water does not condense within wall cavities and attic spaces. He needs to build your home to standards that exceed what the building code states. The building code is a wonderful set of guidelines but many code officials will agree that is a set of minimum standards. If he does not agree with this point, it is time to re-open the bidding process on your new home.
If you have mold growing on a surface, it can be removed by using different types of bleaches. Not all bleaches are the same. The most common bleach that most people use is chlorine bleach. It is a liquid purchased at just about any grocery store. The chemical name for chlorine bleach is sodium hypochlorite.
Chlorine bleach is a very effective mildew and mold killer, but its fumes can bother some people. Mixing a 50/50 solution of chlorine bleach and water is often all you need to do to make a powerful solution. Spray it on the mold and mildew and let it sit for several minutes. Scrub it with soap and water and then rinse.
If you want a less toxic bleach, you may want Oxygen bleach. Oxygen bleach is a powder you mix with water. It produces no fumes and it also does a good job or removing mold and mildew, but it doesn't do it quite as fast as chlorine bleach. The Oxygen bleach solution is also safe for any vegetation and nearby plants should you be working with it outdoors.
|Message from Tim:
Years ago while researching a column about cleaning decks, I discovered the wonders of Oxygen Bleach. It is perhaps the 'greenest' cleaner I know of as it uses oxygen ions to break apart stains, dirt and odor molecules. There are no harsh chemicals, and it works on just about anything that is water washable.
I decided to create my own special blend using ingredients made in the USA. In fact, the raw materials in the active ingredient are food-grade quality registered with the FDA. I call my product Stain Solver. I urge you to use it to help with your cleaning project. You will be amazed at the results!

Lukewarm on the Padres?
Written by | Tom Krasovic | 12:01 p.m., Mar 7, 2008
Here's a totally subjective observation: There's isn't as much buzz about the Padres in Peoria as there was in the late 1990s. In those days, you got the sense that most of the crowd was pro-Padre. A large segment of those crowds seemed excited to see the players, guys such as Tony Gwynn, Ken Caminiti and Wally Joyner. There was more electricity about the Padres, and I sense it's dropped off. Again, let me emphasize that I'm talking only about the games here in Peoria. And it's only one man's opinion. But I have been covering games here since 1995.You had a pro-Giants crowd here this week. There was a strong Rockies current to Thursday's crowd here, and Diamondbacks fans are well-represented at Peoria Stadium today. Don't get me wrong. Lots of people in these crowds are passionate about the Padres. But my sense is the Padres vibe here was stronger from 1995-2000. Am trying to dig up accurate attendance numbers. It wouldn't be surprising to see the crowds pick up here in mid-March.

Macbeth Power Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line) from the Folger Shakespeare Library
Quote #1
All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter!
Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none.
So all hail, Macbeth and Banquo! (1.3.53;70-71)
Tra-la-la, there goes Macbeth innocently walking along when all of sudden the witches show up to tempt him by talking about the awesome power that's going to be his. Right? Or are they just giving voice to his secret desire?
Quote #2
If good, why do I yield to that suggestion
Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair
And make my seated heart knock at my ribs
Against the use of nature? Present fears
Are less than horrible imaginings.
My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical,
Shakes so my single state of man
That function is smothered in surmiseAnd nothing is but what is not. (1.3.147-155)
History Snack: Regicide was a pretty common occurrence in 11th century Scotland, the time period of Macbeth,but it definitely was not common in early 17th century England. The Divine Right of Kings said that monarchs were God's appointed representatives on earth, so rebellion wasn't just treason—it would actually send you straight to hell. James even wrote about it in The Trew Law of Free Monarchies (1598), where he claimed that "The state of monarchy is the supremest thing upon earth; for kings are not only God's lieutenants upon earth, and sit upon God's throne, but even by God himself are called gods." In other words, Macbeth is meddling with power that he should seriously leave alone.
Quote #3
My plenteous joys,
Wanton in fulness, seek to hide themselves
In drops of sorrow.—Sons, kinsmen, thanes,
And you whose places are the nearest, know
We will establish our estate upon
Our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter
The Prince of Cumberland; which honor must
Not unaccompanied invest him only,
But signs of nobleness, like stars, shall shine
On all deservers.—From hence to Inverness
And bind us further to you. (1.4.39-49)
When King Duncan names his son, Malcolm, the Prince of Cumberland, he's essentially naming him the heir apparent to the throne. Fun fact: he's seriously out of order here, since Scotland was an elective monarchy at the time. This is all Macbeth needs to decide that Malcolm and King Duncan are nothing but an obstacle in his path to ultimate power.

VAIL, Colorado " A solo dancer, seemingly defying gravity and flying above the stage, is at the heart of "Caught," the David Parson's stroboscopic tour-de-force that will highlight Pacific Northwest Ballet's performance Tuesday at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater.
The 1982 piece opens with a single dancer moving from spotlight to spotlight through an assortment of "test movements," trying out a rapping motion, a spin or two, an "attacking monster" pose, a dream of flight. And then flight happens, literally, with no strings or wires attached.
In a series of strobe-lit "snapshots," the dancer levitates across the stage without touching it once. Leaps, tilts and midair splits are "caught" as if no effort led up to them. Set to Robert Fripp's score of phased electric guitars, the dancer appears to stay impossibly airborne.
Asked about the inspiration for the piece, Parsons credits his work with photographers.
"The idea of 'Caught' came from working with photographers," Parsons said. "You would go up and you would hit a shape and then you would change it slightly and you just got to be so good at knowing where that shape was from an outside eye. I got to thinking, what if I could control that light and make a dance just in the air, but you could only see it when the strobe went off. And that's how 'Caught' was born. I started experimenting in a dark room with a strobe light."
In addition to "Caught," Pacific Northwest Ballet will also perform Jerome Robbins' "Fancy Free," Twyla Tharp's "That's Life from Nine Sinatra Songs" and Susan Stroman's new "Take Five ... More Or Less," with music by Dave Brubeck.
When Jerome Robbins' first ballet, "Fancy Free" premiered in 1944, it proved to be one of the most exciting evenings in the history of ballet in America, marking the emergence of many new American talents.
Robbins created the choreography while on a coast-to-coast tour with American Ballet Theatre, working closely through correspondence with a young, unknown composer in New York by the name of Leonard Bernstein.
The setting of the ballet is New York City on a hot summer night. Three sailors on shore leave pick up two girls and a fight develops over which sailor is to be left without a partner. In the bar, they stage a competition, each dancing a variation designed to win the favor of a girl, but at the same time revealing his individual character. When the girls are still unable to choose between them, the fight is resumed and the girls slip away. The sailors make up, but one wonders when a third girl passes their way, whether they have learned their lesson.
Twyla Tharp created her "Nine Sinatra Songs" in 1982, based on the 1950s social dancing. Oscar de la Renta's dresses and tuxedos flash with a similar double edge of past and present, while each of the songs chosen has its own character, with Tharp's choreography reinforcing traditional ballroom dancing.
In Tharp's view, the dancing runs the gamut of showing infatuation ("Strangers in the Night"), through cynicism and resignation, to revealing the difficulties and abrasiveness that might well follow ("That's Life).
Susan Stroman's "Take Five ... More or Less," is set to music closely associated with Dave Brubeck, including "Take Five." The piece is vastly amusing, often sexy and full of wit. While Stroman made her name in the world of the American musical, rather than ballet, she is now beginning to do work for important companies like New York City Ballet and the Martha Graham Dance Company. Take Five is her first collaboration with Pacific Northwest Ballet.
Tickets for the Vail International Dance Festival's July 29 Pacific Northwest Ballet performance are priced at $17 for general admission lawn seating and $60 and $75 for reserved pavilion seating and may be purchased online at www.vaildance.org or by calling 970-845-TIXS (8497) or 1-888-920-ARTS (2787).
In addition to Pacific Northwest Ballet, individual tickets for the 2008 Vail International Dance Festival are priced from $8 to $85, with ticket packages also available.
The 2008 Vail International Dance Festival runs through Aug. 9, with performances at both the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail and the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek. Visit www.vaildance.org for more information.

After two disappointing home losses, the Vancouver Canucks might welcome a trip to Chicago.
The Canucks look to get back on track while trying to continue their recent success over the Blackhawks on Sunday afternoon.
Vancouver (32-22-10) opens a brief two-game trip after falling 3-2 in overtime to Columbus on Friday. The Canucks blew a 2-0 third-period lead, two nights after giving away a late 2-1 advantage in a 3-2 shootout loss to Northwest Division rival Colorado.
Though Vancouver is 5-0-3 since losing 6-2 to the Avalanche on Feb. 9, the Canucks can't afford to be giving away points as they try to improve their position in the crowded Western Conference playoff race.
"It's frustrating," recently acquired forward Matt Pettinger said. "We got to have those games, especially at this time of year, we got to learn from it, move on and make sure it doesn't happen again."
Vancouver has a good chance to rebound Sunday as it tries for a fifth straight victory over the Blackhawks (30-28-6) and sixth in a row in Chicago. The Canucks, who won 3-2 in a shootout at home over the Blackhawks on Feb. 10, are 7-0-1 at the United Center since a 3-2 loss on Dec. 17, 2002.
"We are all going to learn from (Friday), we have no choice, we are in a playoff race and we have to win the next game," said Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault, whose team looks to sweep the series from Chicago for the second time in three seasons. "We're going to step on the ice on Sunday afternoon in Chicago and we're going to play hard."
On Friday, Sami Salo and Ryan Shannon each had goals, while Taylor Pyatt added an assist in his second straight game for the Canucks, who have had six of their last eight contests decided by one goal.
Salo, who's scored four of his five goals in the last nine contests, has two assists in three games versus Chicago this season.
Roberto Luongo made 30 saves, but suffered his second straight loss Friday. Luongo, though, is 4-0-0 with a 1.20 goals-against average in his last four starts versus the Blackhawks, including a 2-0 win on Nov. 25 for his second career shutout against them.
The Blackhawks are looking for their first winning season since 2001-02, and are also trying to work their way into playoff position.
Though Chicago lost 7-4 at Dallas on Thursday, it has won three in row at home, recording shutouts in its last two. The Blackhawks finished 7-4-2 in February.
The Blackhawks, who haven't recorded three straight shutouts at home since Jan. 19-27, 1972, look to bounce back after allowing four more goals Thursday than they have in their last five home games combined.
Patrick Lalime, who made 32 saves in a 1-0 win over Phoenix on Wednesday, could be back in goal despite allowing five goals on 13 shots before being pulled against Dallas.
"That's what happens when you make mistakes against a team like that," said Lalime, who is 12-10-1 with a 2.78 GAA and seeing more time with Nikolai Khabibulin day-to-day with back spasms.
Lalime is 5-3-1 with a 1.78 GAA against Vancouver, but has lost four of his last five starts versus the Canucks.
Andrew Ladd scored his first goal with the Blackhawks Thursday after being acquired from Carolina on Tuesday.

RIM Loses Subscribers Ahead of BlackBerry 10 Launch
In its final earnings report before the release of its critical new handset, the BlackBerry 10 Research in Motion managed to beat analyst expectations by reporting a narrower-than-anticipated loss. That news on Thursday—which offset a decrease in the number of subscribers—was enough to sustain a rally in the stock and boost hopes for the January 30 product launch, on which the company's future well may depend.
RIM posted a decline in global BlackBerry subscribers to about 79 million from more than 80 million. The bad news about the loss of subscribers was offset by an expansion of its cash reserves to $2.9 billion and a narrower-than-expected net loss of $114 million.
Many analysts had said they hoped to see subscriber count remain stable or gain slightly, according to MarketWatch. Much of the future success of BlackBerry 10 in the enterprise will depend on how well it does in the consumer market. More companies are moving away from providing mobile devices and instead encouraging employees to bring their own. "If you're not going to be successful in the consumer market, you're not going to be successful at all," said Ken Dulaney, vice president of mobile computing at Gartner Research.
Gartner is telling clients not to upgrade to BlackBerry Enterprise Server 10 until they're certain that BlackBerry 10 is going to be a hit in the consumer market. Many of Gartner's North American and European corporate clients have left the struggling smart phone-maker "on almost a permanent basis," said Dulaney. "I think the way for RIM to get back is to play the bring-your-own-device angle," he said.
Research in Motion has already moved in this direction by letting the BlackBerry 10 connect to Microsoft Exchange servers. The smart phones can connect using the Exchange ActiveSync protocol which lets mobile devices synchronize e-mail, calendar, contacts and tasks wirelessly with Microsoft Exchange Server. Apple iPhones saw bigger adoption in the enterprise after they started supporting ActiveSync. Yet, Research in Motion could help its devices regain traction even further if BlackBerry 10 would support mobile device management software from companies such as MobileIron, AirWatch, Zenprise and Good Technology, said Dulaney. That software gives corporations a single tool to manage a range of mobile devices including iOS and Android devices. RIM says that BlackBerry 10 Enterprise Server is designed to be a mobile device management product that will compete with other mobile device management players. Still, Dulaney said that companies don't want to replace software they've already purchased.
There has been optimism in recent weeks regarding the launch of the BlackBerry 10 device and it has buoyed the stock. RIM's stock more than doubled since September. It even fared much better than Apple's stock, which has lost nearly 25% of its value during the same period, according to the Washington Post. Following the late afternoon announcement on Thursday, RIM shares were up 3.6% at $14.12 in after-hours trading. The company also said that Chief Information Officer Robin Bienfait has decided to retire at the end of 2012, after six years at the company. She will continue to advise the company through the BlackBerry 10 launch, said RIM President and CEO Thorsten Heins in a conference call with investors.
Many companies have moved away from BlackBerry as the popularity of Apple and Android devices has grown and more companies have started to let employees bring their own devices to work. In February, oil services company Halliburton switched its 4,500 BlackBerry users to iPhones. In March, RIM CEO Thorstein Heins told analysts that the company would concentrate on enterprise devices and services.
Even CIOs have acknowledged that it would make more sense for RIM to satisfy consumers first. "RIM needs to appeal to users, not CIOs," Brian Lillie, CIO of Equinix, a company that operates data centers worldwide, said back in March. At that time, about half of Equinix employees with mobile devices carried BlackBerrys. "Users are voting with their feet," Lillie told CIO Journal at that time.
Still, there are BlackBerry stalwarts and the company's best chance for survival is appealing to those individuals and companies. The mobile devices are big in Indonesia and have long been the leading brand, although Android devices are becoming more popular in the region. In North America and Europe, corporate customers have been moving away from BlackBerry, but there are certain companies and workers who would like to see the company regain its glory. "Some are holding out hope, especially in the defense area where RIM has been really good to them," said Dulaney, vice president of mobile computing at Gartner.

The Urban Knitter
by Lily M. Chin
Buy it now at Amazon.com
If you've been a knitter for a while, chances are you've heard of Lily Chin. Her designs have been featured in all the major knitting magazines, her patterns are sold through Fiber Trends, and she never fails to put in an appearance at major shows.
She is a charismatic woman with many admirers. The buzz around this book, as you might imagine, has been unusually high.
For Hip Young Urban Knitters
I was excited about the book until I received its press release. Only one paragraph into the piece, I already felt alienated and offended.
"The new generation of knitters does not consist of bored housewives and they are not interested in those shapeless scarves," it began. (Hey wait, I like shapeless scarves!)
"They are young, urban professionals and Hollywood celebrities in their 20s and 30s who see knitting as both a creative outlet and a form of stress relief -- a therapeutic way to create high-end fashion at a fraction of the cost." (Hmmm, hasn't knitting always been therapeutic? And don't most store-bought sweaters cost a fraction of what it takes to produce a hand-knit one?)
By the time the book finally arrived, I was reluctant to read it. There it sat for weeks on end, until one night, I pulled it out and gave it another chance.
The Concept
Chin's goal was to tap into the young, urban "vibe" that newer knitters are bringing to the craft. Toward this end, she sought out and eventually selected 20 knitters whom she met over the Internet. The selection criteria were simple: The knitter needed to be under 40 and live within city limits.
Chin soon dubbed her group her "hip young urban knitters." One by one, she consulted with each HYUK to find out what they'd like to see in a knitted item.
I initially thought each pattern was written by the HYUK, but upon closer examination it's unclear just how much was the result of collaboration and how much Chin did herself. She provides a chatty introduction to each pattern, profiling the HYUK who inspired it and what prompted Chin to design the garment the way she did.
Slowly it dawned on me that Chin had done most of the designs. The HYUKs provided the creative inspiration, tested the patterns, and knit up the sample garments.
The Patterns
Much to the chagrin of whoever wrote the press release, the book does include two lovely, potentially shapeless scarf patterns. You'll also find a pair of sport and evening bras, a halter top, and tempting knitted flipflops with extremely elaborate directions.
Not into knitting your own bras? Fear not, the book also includes patterns for socks, a hat, mittens, pullovers, vests, and even a knitted dress.
The Models
I didn't fully realize the importance of depicting finished garments on actual human beings until this book. Each pattern is given one color image in the center of the book. For that image, the garment is pinned flat against a white background, rather like a butterfly specimen in a science museum.
Without being able to see how the body fills the garments, it took a while before I began warming up to the patterns.
Low-Priced at a Price
Unfortunately, the steps that were taken to keep the book's price low are what peeved me the most. You cannot convey the sensual textures and colors of knitting in black-and-white. And you cannot convey the fluid life of a garment without showing how it fits its wearer's body.
I do know that yarn manufacturers were obligated to pay in order to have their yarns used and referenced in the book. I only wish the publishers had funnelled more of those funds into the art budget.

Philadelphia (AP) Barack Obama is telling Pennsylvania unions that he will fight the type of trade deals struck by the Clinton and Bush administrations.
Obama today was endorsed by the Philadelphia local of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees, which should be a boost in a state where 830,000 union voters are expected to vote later this month. Pennsylvania's primary will allocate 158
delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
Obama -- speaking at a the meeting of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO in Philadelphia -- says he will always oppose trade deals that "put the interests of wall street ahead of the interests of American workers."
Obama says he opposes NAFTA, which was struck with Mexico and Canada during Bill Clinton's presidency.

United States transportation service providers are no strangers to crossing state borders. Freight shipping in the U.S. has become a massive industry thanks in part to improved logistics and a strong national infrastructure. Some companies now have the ability to move parcels across long distances, but not all states abide by the same laws, which makes it difficult for transporters to make sure they're not in violation during any part of their trip.
Since states value drivers' rights on different scales, we've taken the liberty to compile a list of the four states that provide the most friction when it comes to transportation:
New York/New Jersey: New York was recently voted as the worst state to be a driver by the National Motorists Association, thanks in part to a high volume and cost of toll roads and dense traffic, but New Jersey didn't fall far behind at No. 3. Both states were found to have a high number of enforcement officials patrolling the roads as well, which creates a more tense atmosphere on the road. Another downfall the neighboring states had was they both scored low in terms of fiscal responsibility, meaning the high tolls weren't exactly going toward fixing roads that needed repair.
Nevada: It's bad enough that some transporters are on tight schedules and can't fit in a trip to Vegas to hit the craps table. To make matters worse, the federal government owns more than three-quarters of Nevada's land, meaning it's largely off limits to economic development. According to the Pacific Legal Foundation, there are 43 moving companies in the entire state, and many of the Certificate of Necessity laws Nevada has makes it difficult for new moving and transport companies. Per Nevada law, an individual must prove that the proposed business is qualified, safe and financially fit.
Delaware: Besides the fact that not many people could point out Delaware on a map if they tried, the Diamond state is also known for its poor track record with transporters. Most of the East coast states have tolls and traffic, but Delaware has the second-highest fees for accessing public roads in the country, the National Motorists Association found – a fact that seems odd for the 49th largest state. The population density is the sixth-highest in the country per capita, and the state's accessibility is far less convenient than others since Delaware is on a peninsula competing for land with the tail end of Maryland.
Let us know which US state is your least favorite to transport in!

The Associated Press
SURPRISE, Ariz. — The Arizona Department of Transportation has opened three new southbound lanes of the Loop 303 in Surprise.
The section of freeway opened Monday. It runs from Grand to Peoria avenues as the Loop 303 continues its transformation into a six-lane freeway.
Drivers have temporarily used the northbound lanes of the upgraded freeway for two-way traffic while crews were building the southbound lanes in that area.
Northbound Loop 303 will continue to have only one traffic lane for approximately two months until a layer of quieting rubberized asphalt can be added in September.
Rubberized asphalt was recently added to the new southbound lanes.
The work is part of a $129 million project to improve Loop 303 into a six-lane freeway between Grand and Peoria avenues by this fall.

Monterey Bay Suites's down-home breakfast is free and fabulous
"[The] free breakfast every morning was awesome," said Sylvia Gallegos in a recent post to the hotel's Facebook page.
This breakfast worth bragging about is enjoyed from an oceanfront view overlooking the pools of Monterey Bay.
Marlene Kopeschny Heinrichs, another guest of Monterey Bay, said the morning meal is golden.
"The breakfast is the best part," Heinrichs said in a Facebook post.
With the obvious benefits of the Atlantic Ocean tossed in, too, the breakfast is also delightful because of its simplicity.
There is fresh fruit (which varies depending upon the season), cold cereal, oatmeal and certified homey superstars like, grits and a different type of meat each morning.
Year-around, from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., guests walk through a line to get breakfast – the cold items they get on their own, while staff serves the hot food to them.
Once guests get their food, the real fun begins as they go off to take pleasure in a breakfast soothing to the body and soul.
"The breakfast is served in the lobby, where there are tables and chairs," Vaughan said. "Guests can always sit in the veranda area, too for breakfast."
Donald Moore Jr., a resident of Knoxville, Tenn., said he misses the experience.
"I love the smell of the fresh made Belgian waffle, "Moore said on Monterey Bay's Facebook page. "I miss the beach."
What: Free Breakfast at Monterey Bay Suites (for hotel guests only)
Where: 6804 N. Ocean Blvd., Myrtle Beach, S.C. 29572
Info: Call 1-888-255-4763, visit montereybaysuites.com or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Characterization of Approach Air Distribution for a Finned-Tube Heat Exchanger
|February 18, 2011
|The distribution of air flow approaching a finned-tube heat exchanger is one of the predominant factors influencing the heat exchanger‰s performance. This paper describes a method for measuring and predicting the inlet air flow distribution using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model, respectively. The studied case was a single-slab, four-depth-row, louvered-fin heat exchanger installed vertically in a horizontal duct. A CFD model of the air flow through this heat exchanger was developed based on a momentum resistance modeling approach. The CFD results agreed well with the PIV measurements, predicting the local velocities within 3 % over most of the domain and within 10 % in areas with the largest velocity gradients.

(New York, NY)
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says if female farmers around the world are given access to the same resources as men, agricultural output could be increased by 20 to 30 percent and an additional 150 million people could be fed every year.
Speaking in New York City on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, Clinton said the United States is contributing $5 million to the Feed the Future initiative, which will focus on helping female farmers and closing the resource gap.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "When we liberate the economic potential of women, we elevate the economic performance of communities, nations and the world."
She went on to say, "While we meet here in this beautiful hotel, nearly 1 billion people are suffering from chronic hunger, and in the Horn of Africa we are seeing the devastating impact of acute hunger and starvation. We're also an international community sending a very strong plea to the group al-Shabab, which is continuing to prevent humanitarian organizations from getting aid to the people who need it, primarily women and children.

Today is one of my proudest days as a New Yorker.
My bike got stolen last night and goddamn if I didn't have it back before noon today, thanks to a curious but powerful mixture of internet savvy, a responsive police force, and one very special "Law and Order" fan.
Last night I went to meet Maura at the Arcade Fire/Spoon show at Madison Square Garden, so I biked to the Marcy JMZ subway stop and locked my bike there, and then took the train into the city. Then I went to the show which was awesome. Spoon was awesome. Arcade Fire was awesome. It was a truly inspirational musical event of both delicate and epic proportions. We had some drinks. I got on the train around 1 AM and it took me an hour to get home but I was so thrilled by the show I didn't even care that much. I got off the train, still feeling pretty jaunty, and when I went to get my bike it was gone.
I didn't cry but I jutted my lower lip out the entire way home. It was a genuine sad face. I tried to stop the sad face but I could not. I really love my yellow bike, and it is summer and riding your bike is the best, and also it is my main form of transportation around town. I didn't know how I was going to be able to afford a new one, and seriously, I was super bummed. It is a material object, yes, and it can be replaced, but it's MY BIKE AND I LOVE IT.
I sad-faced myself to sleep.
This morning I woke up around 9 AM and checked Craigslist to see if there were any reasonably priced bikes on there and lo and behold, there was a picture of my bike for sale for $75. They even had a picture of the scratches. I called the number and spoke with someone who said he lived on South 8th Street, near Peter Luger's, which is two blocks from where the bike was stolen. I said, "I'm in the neighborhood, I could come by, I'm just a few blocks away." And this freaked him out a little bit, so he got off the phone with me almost immediately, saying he had just woken up, and he would call me back. He never did.
I consulted with Maura, who (1) knows everything about the internet and (2) has watched pretty much every single episode of "Law and Order." Both of these things combined together means she is basically a cop. Maura googled the fuck out of this guy and had all of his other Craigslist ads (which included a bunch of other bikes for sale as well as the opportunity to live in his living room for $850 a month, which, p.s., don't move in with him, ok?), his wife's mypsace page, and his facebook page, in like three minutes. So basically he was going to be trapped, in one way or another, it was just a question of how.
I asked Maura to call the guy and see if he would talk to her, and to say she lived in Greenpoint and not my neighborhood, so the guy wouldn't freak out. He said he would either bring the bike to her or meet her in front of Peter Luger's.
At this point I just decided to call the cops, because it is their job to contend with things like this, and I like to believe there is some order in the universe. I called them before 10 AM. A squad car arrived about fifteen minutes later, and the adventure began.
Let me preface this by saying that every single person I interacted with was beyond professional and incredibly well-mannered and polite. Thumbs up, South Williamsburg police officers. You guys are the shit.
I would also like to say that I was totally hungover throughout all of this, and yet full of energy because that fucker stole my bike and put it on craigslist and I was going to GET HIM.
Ok, so the police officer asked me a few questions (hell yea, I'll press charges), and then he made a call and then two undercover cops showed up in a dented car. They looked really young, and they had bulletproof vests on under their t-shirts so they also looked strangely puffy. We talked for a while, and they explained to me that even if this man did not steal the bike, he could still be arrested for possessing stolen goods. They suspected that he was probably just a fence.
"In this neighborhood, the crackheads break into people's apartments because they know there's a place they can take whatever they steal, laptops, whatever, and sell it and get money for their drugs. So it's important to stop the cycle however we can," explained one of the officers.
I showed them my printout of the craigslist ad, and they asked me a bunch of questions about identifying marks on the bike. The only identifying marks I could recall were the two things that I had been meaning to fix but hadn't, parts where bolts had fallen off. But I remembered those scratches too, which were visible on the Craigslist ad, and I pointed those out. I was slightly worried that we would get there and it wouldn't be my bike after all and I would have wasted all of their time, which I said to them. But one cop said, "Usually if you feel it in your gut you're probably right."
Then all of a sudden the cops got a call and dashed off, the uniformed officer making the shape of a gun with his fingers at me (!), and I sat on my front stoop for a while, and then they came back a few minutes later with even more undercover cops. And there I was, hanging with the cops on my front stoop, PLOTTING OUR STING.
We decided we would have Maura call him back and have him meet me in front of Peter Luger's at 11 AM, and then I would go and meet him, and the undercover cops would be on two different corners in their cars, and then they would jump out when he came with the bike and nab him! For real! They did ask me if I wanted to have a friend come with me, but I figured I was safe as a kitten in front of Peter Luger's. (I always feel like those waiters are just itching to kick someone's ass.)
So they drove me a few blocks away from the restaurant, and as I walked up there, I texted Maura, and she called the dude. And then a few minutes later he he rode up on a yellow bike, this big, tattoo-covered, dreadlocked dude who I so would not have wanted to face alone. I looked at the bike, and he had attempted to fix one of the things that was broken, but the other part, which I had carefully described to the police officers, was still unfixed, which was the first thing he pointed out to me, as if he were being an honest salesman. I almost started laughing. It was definitely my bike!
And then the cops all converged on the guy, and they said, "Can we talk to you over here?" to him which sounds very nice but I assure you was not really said as a question. And then he was over against the Peter Luger's wall with all the cops and I was alone with my bike. And then they were asking him all these questions, and he was like, "I do not steal bikes, I buy them from this guy," and then within a minute they had extracted that he was a junkie, that he bought these bikes from another junkie, and even how much junk he consumed a day. Detective work in action! They cuffed him and put him in the squad car.
While they took pictures of my bike, I chatted with the cops. One of the officers believed the junkie, but another did not, and said that he had cameras on the area where the bike was stolen, and that he was going to check the footage from last night later. He was the same one who had told me to trust my gut.
Everyone was feeling a little giddy, I could tell. It was now 11:30 AM and we had made some justice happen in a very short period of time.
One of the cops said, "A lot of people get robbed in this town, but very few get their stuff back. You're very lucky."
And then I did this dorky little cheer and lifted my hands in the air like Rocky on the steps of that art museum. I said, "Well, thank you guys! I am a satisfied customer. My tax dollars hard at work."
And the other cop said, "You did all the hard work. All that internet research, finding it on Craigslist."
And another cop said, "You could join the force."
And then I rode off on my bike, and I haven't been able to stop laughing and smiling for the last hour. This is one of the best days of my life, no joke.

Public Safety LTE: A Global Assessment of Market Size, Technology, Vendor Trends and Spectrum Allocation 2015 - 2020
- January 2015
- Region: Global
- 100 Pages
- Mind Commerce LLC
Considered as the de-facto standard for Public Safety broadband communications, LTE is rapidly gaining momentum within the Public Safety industry. As a result Public Safety agencies, vendors and service provider are heavily investing in Public Safety LTE, with commercial deployments in both the North America and the Middle East region.
While initial investments appear promising there still remain a number of key issues that need to be addressed such as frequency spectrum allocation, funding for private LTE network deployments, QoS prioritization of users in commercial networks, and interoperability with legacy Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems such as APCO 25 and TETRA.
This report provides an in-depth of the global Public Safety LTE industry to address the aforementioned issues, in addition to providing a detail assessment of the technology, market size, and key trends within the Public Safety LTE industry. All purchases of this report includes time with an expert analyst who will help you link key findings in the report to the business issues you're addressing. This needs to be used within three months of purchasing the report.
The report covers the following topics:
- Global Spectrum Allocation for Public Safety LTE: A global assessment of spectrum allocation and funding for Public Safety LTE deployments, based on input from regional regulatory authorities.
- Global Public Safety LTE Market Size, Contracts & Trials: A global review of the worldwide Public Safety LTE market including assessment of revenue share by market segment (infrastructure sales, services, user device sales, etc), and a review of global contracts and trial engagements.
- RAN Sharing and Roaming: The term "RAN sharing" refers to sharing of actual eNodeBs. As part of this arrangement, each operator accesses the shared RAN with its own EPC. Vendors are also considering the implementation of Inter-PLMN handover (as opposed to roaming) and then for LTE Commercial carriers to deploy Policies for Service Level Agreements that include Priority Access (Access Class Barring, Preemption and ARP) and QoS/ QCI assignment for default and dedicated bearers. The report assesses in detail how many of vendors and commercial carriers will support RAN sharing, roaming and inter-PLMN handovers which will be key factors towards the adoption of commercial LTE RANs for Public Safety applications.
- Global QoS Requirements for Public Safety LTE Communications: A detailed assessment of global requirements for Priority access and High QoS for Public Safety subscribers, for shared commercial LTE networks, while they roam on to Commercial Networks.
- Public Safety LTE Devices and End User Applications: An assessment of device usability characteristics, Multi-Radio LTE/LMR interoperability technology, Software and Applications (VoLTE, PTT over LTE, IMS, IP).
- Vendor Trends and Roadmaps: A detailed assessment of solution portfolios and roadmaps for major infrastructure/ device vendors and system integrators
- LTE-Advanced Support for Heterogeneous Commercial/LMR Networks: In-depth assessment of the LTE Advanced standard and technologies and spectrum planning for Fixed/Nomadic based Pico Cells/Femto Cells and mobile base stations (e.g. LTE Cell on Wheels (CoW)) and proximity based services such as Direct Mode Operation (DMO) in LMR systems, which have broad implications for the adoption of Public Safety LTE services.

Ukrainian forces battle with pro-Russian gunmen
Ukrainian special forces sent into Sloviansk after takeover by armed separatists
UKRAINE has sent special forces into the eastern town of Sloviansk in an attempt to wrest back control from armed pro-Russian separatists. One Ukrainian officer has been killed and there have been casualties on both sides, according to the interior minister, Arsen Avakov. Locals have been warned to stay inside their homes.
Sloviansk was one of three eastern Ukrainian towns invaded by well-organised, armed men dressed in camouflage yesterday. The men arrived in Sloviansk, Kramatorsk and Druzhkovka in buses, the BBC reports, and immediately took over police stations and official buildings.
The regional capital, Donetsk, has been the scene of a pro-Russian sit-in at the main administrative building for the last week. Eastern Ukraine has a large Russian-speaking population and has seen a series of protests since pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in February.
Today, Avakov denounced the armed takeovers as "a display of aggression by Russia".
"The separatists are shooting to kill without warning against the approaching special forces," he said.
Local governor Sergei Taruta said "all legitimate means" would be used to combat "acts of terror" and restore order across the east.
The armed action by Ukraine moves the situation into dangerous territory; Russia has warned that it will defend the Russian-speaking population of eastern Ukraine. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry has warned of "additional consequences" if Russia did not pull its troops back from Ukraine's border.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Climbing, jumping and always smiling, Howell Beman sure doesn't act like a child who spends a lot of his time in the hospital. But it hasn't always been easy for this 5-year-old.
Howell suffers from ITP, a rare disorder where his immune system attacks his platelets. There is no cure, but fortunately, he doesn't feel any pain. The disorder causes him to bruise very easily and puts him at a high risk for internal bleeding.
Through 13 overnight hospital stays, two bone marrow biopsies, numerous pediatric ER visits and monthly lab work, Howell remains one happy -- and tough -- little cookie.

Freedom Riders on Oprah
On May 16, AMERICAN EXPERIENCE will premiere Freedom Riders, a film about the 436 Americans who risked their lives by deliberately violating Jim Crow laws in the Deep South in the summer of 1961.
This Wednesday, May 4, Oprah Winfrey will dedicate her entire program to the 50th anniversary of the 1961 Freedom Rides. The Oprah episode will highlight clips from the film as well as selections of content from the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Freedom Riders website.
Conspiring to Assassinate an American President
On July 7, 1865, three men and one woman were hanged for the crime of conspiring to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. After the surrender of Confederate general Robert E. Lee and the announcement that Lincoln would serve a second term as president, John Wilkes Booth, a young southern actor and patriot of the Confederacy, began plotting the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. After hearing the announcement that President Lincoln would be attending a performance at the Ford Theater, Booth assigned the tasks of assassinating both Secretary of State William Seward and Vice President Andrew Johnson to a group of fellow conspirators. Although it was Booth who fired the bullet that killed the 16th president, this group of eight lesser-known conspirators aided Booth his scheme.
Dorothy Young, the last surviving stage assistant to famed illusionist Harry Houdini and accomplished dancer, passed away Sunday at her retirement home in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The entertainer was 103.
The news of Young's passing strangely coincides with the 137th birthday of her employer, Harry Houdini.
Born Erik Weisz in Budapest, Hungary, Harry Houdini, a legendary name in magic, became an international sensation after accomplishing incredible feats as an illusionist and escape artist extraordinaire. In the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE documentary Houdini, old photographs, film clips and a breadth of interviews give an in depth look into the life of the master magician. Houdini died in 1926 from a widespread infection from an appendix burst. He was 52 years old.
Nautical Discovery Sheds Light on the Hazards of 19th Century Whaling
Almost two centuries ago, the Two Brothers, a Nantucket whaling ship, sank 600 miles off the coast of Honolulu. Last week, officials from the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument -- one of the world's largest ocean reserves -- reported that marine archaeologists had discovered the 1823 wreckage along with artifacts including harpoons and try-pots, were used to liquefy whale blubber into oil.
A typical vessel of American whaling's "golden age" in the 19th century, the Two Brothers was captained by George Pollard, who was no stranger to shipwrecks. Three years before sinking Two Brothers, Pollard had captained the infamous voyage of the whaling ship Essex. The tale of the Essex, recounted in the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE documentary Into the Deep: America, Whaling & the World, was the inspiration for Herman Melville's classic novel Moby Dick.

Author Hampton Sides, a frequent AMERICAN EXPERIENCE consultant and author of Hellhound on his Trail, on which our 2010 film Roads to Memphis was based, draws a parallel between the Arizona shooter Jared Loughner and the infamous MLK assassin James Earl Ray in a recent Newsweek article. "Though he spent his criminal career striving for anonymity, he desperately wanted the world to know he existed," wrote Sides. "Like a certain deranged young man in Tucson last week, Ray imagined the best way to leave his mark was the gun down someone young, eloquent, and charismatic."
AMERICAN EXPERIENCE has an exclusive interview with Hampton Sides talking about his memories of the MLK assassination and the character of James Earl Ray and his motivations for killing Dr. King.
"Ask Not" to Awaken the Future
At his 1961 inauguration to the presidency, John F. Kennedy issued a challenge to the American people that, fifty years later, leaders are trying to revive. "My fellow Americans," Kennedy proclaimed into the frozen January air, "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." The speech was in part an exhortation to the American people to change their attitudes toward government and become active participants in civic life. On the 50th anniversary of his famous inaugural speech, we can't help but wonder: are Americans taking his words to heart?
