Bad Knock Sensor With Significantly Improved Fuel Mileage
Any comments/explanation to explain this odd observation is much appreciated.
Background: On May 25th, 2012, under the Recall Campaign 11E-A03, dealer replaced EGR valve and programmed the control units with CAS. SA told me for my model the SCR mixer didn't need to be replaced. After this EGR replacement fuel mileage dropped approx. 1 mpg but otherwise the car ran just fine, no codes whatsoever.
On Oct. 16th, 2012 when I took the car in to fix a window noise SA told me BMW is now asking they also replace the SCR Mixer unit. Got the car back and everything was fine.
Relevant portions of the work order are attached for both replacements.
Last Friday (ten days after SCR Mixer was replaced) I got the CEL - my scanner read the OBD2 code as P20EE (SCR NOx Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1). I emailed my SA right away and dropped the car off the next day. I also told him about the OBD2 code.
Before I left the house to drop the car of at the dealer I reset the mileage meter. My drive to the dealer is about 30 miles, mostly highway. My mpg read 27.2 mpg! I have never seen that high a mpg number. Since the EGR replacement my mpg was ~22.7 mpg. (I have the 3rd row (added weight) and Option 214 wheel/tire.)
Two hours later my SA called and said the knock sensor was bad and needs to be replaced.
My explanation - using logic and imagination and no experience with such things - the programming that was done after the SCR Mixer replacement somehow turned off or partially shut down the emission control. This explains the 20% fuel mileage improvement. This programming may also have corrupted the knock sensor readings. Does this sound possible/reasonable?
I would sincerely appreciate if someone experienced can explain what I am seeing - P20EE error code, significantly improved mileage and dealer tech's claim the knock sensor has gone bad.
PS: Jim E. post describing this emissions recall in greater detail.

Excellent post.
The faulty KS is strange...usually a bad KS will do a few things: Set a code, trigger a CEL AND... pull timing to protect the engine. You lose 5-10% gas mileage.. All this based on general experience, not X5 or BMW. So this is opposite what you are seeing...
From what I've read and heard, the 'programming' they do is pretty damn bulletproof- there arent corrupted stuff floating about. Once the car completes the load and everything is verified, your car basically has THE program they intended....now BMW can write/release bad code- or code that doesnt contemplate the physical conditions of the sensors and components (which was what happened for months on end with the 2010s and resulted in the string of recalls).
For me, the most likely piece of bad info is what the SA is telling you...wait for them to put it in writing and talk to the tech before you drive off, if you want the real story....
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
Thanks ard!
What you wrote is what I was expecting - code could be due to a bad KS or a transient software error. If it is the former there should be a drop in mpg, if it is the latter no change in mpg. IMO a 20% increase 'may' occur if somehow the emissions got shut off - not a likely scenario.
The other thing that surprised me is the tech did not read the code I read (P20EE) . . . instead he read a bad KS code which Google Search says ranges from P0325 - P0335. I can understand BMW tech with a better scanner reading more codes than my simple reader . . . but I don't understand why he doesn't read what I read.
As you said what the SA is saying and what the tech is going to write may be two different things.
Yes I will post my service report once I have the car back plus what the tech told me he did.
Thanks again.
I met with the tech and he told me the codes they read (see attached) required them to replace the NOx sensors. He didn't think the SCR Mixer replacement and this sensor going bad was connected, just a coincidence - at least that was his best guess.
He has no idea why my fuel mileage improved by nearly 20% (from ~22.5% to over 27 mpg!). On my way back from the Dealer my mpg was about 24+ mpg (mostly hwy) . . . still higher than what I saw after the initial EGR valve replacement and associated re-programming. I will keep an eye on the mpg for the next several weeks and see where it finally settles. Since mpg is moving in the positive direction I am not complaining!

That actually makes one chuckle... NOx sensor is really a new term for most of us...
You really need many days of use over the same commute to make hard mpg comparisons.
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
Yes I need more time to confirm which way (if any) the mpg moved . . . typically I try and do it over three or more tanks (1,500+ miles) . . . my mpg prior to the original EGR replacement was ~23.8 mpg . . . post EGR replacement it dropped to ~21 mpg and then picked up to about 22.5 mpg. Let us see what happens after this latest service visit.
Got the CEL again after doing a long weekend trip - ~1,100 miles, which included hwy and city miles plus mountain climbs to about 8,200 feet. Same OBD2 error code (P20EE) - second time over a month period.
Here is a brief summary of the events since the original EGR recall.
Following is what the tech told me after completing the latest repair work.
I will post if CEL pops up again . . . will be driving about 1,000+ miles over the Thanksgiving weekend.
As always if others have had similar issues please do chime in . . . I am skeptical this issue is fully fixed . . .
BTW this car is a blast to drive on those deserted twisty mountain roads - I was hitting 70+ miles on those curves, worked the brakes really good . . . I could have never done any of this on my previous SUVs! With AD it would have been an even bigger blast! Oh well . . .
They must enjoy working with you. I am dead serious. I can be a PITA here, but with my SA it is much different. It makes it easier.
Anyway, you SHOULD get a work order and code pulled if you can..at least to get it on the record. Even bringing it in and waiting for them to read and clear it, if all they say is "see if it comes back".
Although, back to the first point, pushing for this before T-day is a bit much.
Thanks for documenting
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
Thanks for your post.
Not very familiar with these terminologies . . .
Given I am not someone very familiar with all of these issues I have to go by logic . . . and my logic runs as follows:
If I asked the dealer to "pull code" for me under a work order with the car showing no CEL or any other issues - who will pay for the labor? I doubt the dealer can make a warranty claim since the car is working fine . . . just curious.
Now if I have to go back in a third time for the same error code my scanner reads (P20EE) then I have a legitimate claim (IMO) to escalate this matter. I hate to beat up on folks who appear to be doing what they are expected/supposed to do.
As mentioned previously over the Thanksgiving period I am planning to put ~1,000+ miles - that should be a solid test to see if this latest fix holds.
Post Thanksgiving I will post whether I got the CEL or not.
PS: While trying to understand what 4D16-SCR I came across this post by ard and others . . . for those trying to understand this issue better, it is pretty good/quick read. Info is a bit dated - i.e. it may not apply to MY2011/12 cars . . . many fixes might already be in place.

I quit posting some time back. But your post brings back some memories. Here's my experience with a 2011 X5 35D (too delivery late May 2010 - you can look for my posts)
1. 09 Jun 2010: Trunk lid will not close. Mileage ~230. Dealer replaced trunk lid lock
2. 21 Apr 2011: CEL on. Mileage 5700. Error codes 4D16, 480A. Diagnosis/work says "performed DEF regeneration by driving. They basically cleared the codes and gave back to me.
3. 28 Apr 2011: CEL on again along with low DEF warning. Mileage ~5800. Error codes 4D16, 4BD3. Replaced DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), Exhaust Manifold, SCR Catalytic converter. Refilled with DEF.
4. 18 May 2011: CEL on again along with low DEF warning. Mileage ~6300. Error code 4D16. Catalytic converter permanent malfunction. R&R Catalytic converter.
5. 21 May 2012: CEL on. Mileage ~13500. Replaced charge air sensor, EGR valve (campaign).
6. CEL returned after 30 miles from dealer. Wrote letter to BMW NA.
7. 21 Nov 2012: Wrote letter to BMW NA, CMRRR
8. 07 Dec 2012: Mileage 20000. BMW NA sent Regional tech rep. Dropped off car today. As per write-up, SCR Mixer, Reprogramming and Bolt replacement to be carried out. SA called a few minutes ago and mentioned that they have to replace the NOX sensors as well.
Already consulted/retained a lemon law attorney and that process is already under way.

If this was in CA, and you achieved the number of visits or 30 days to qualify for a lemon buyback, the good news is they % they use would be about 5800/120000 or 4.8%. You would receive 95.2% of your purchase price back, given that the issue first started at 5700/5800.
So make sure you understand the law in your state.
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
Ard, The manufacturers are 100 steps ahead when it comes to lemon law - wish I had known all this before hand. There is a reason the service orders are written a certain way - "Customer states that CEL is on" for example. Then there are rules like it has to be the same problem - well the manufacturer can argue that the CEL was caused by different problems. Plus I live in TX,a pretty business friendly state. I didn't want to go this route - with an attorney, but BMW N.A just ignored me. It appears that they just want to keep this thing stringing along and hope the customer just goes away and does nothing. I didn't have the same experience several others mentioned where they said BMW just stepped up. Even though they are called lemon law attorneys, they are filing under DTPA (Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act) - which has a fee shifting provision.

People just sit at the desk and let the guy type what he wants, then they hand you a pen and you sign it.... I just got back from the dealer an hour ago, earlier today I wrote "No permission to operate vehicle off dealership property." next to my signature. The SA was very nervous. I said "Dont worry, I can do this" and smiled. (CA has a law that they MUST check and adjust the tire pressure, unless the owner states he has done that. So I crossed that out on the work order and added "Owner has checked tire pressure within last 24 hours".) My point is that it is YOUR car, this is a document FROM YOU telling them what they should or may do....
Anyway, just briefly looking at your record, those initial codes are all relating to the diesel cat/emissions system and are central to the recent recalls...using their own documents on the recall, I am pretty sure you could have argued that the common cause was this system and the underlying software, was the problem. As a result there were multiple spurious error codes and ineffective repair measures which were the actual cause of the lemon claim. I mean it looks like your issues were a poster child for the final, ultimate recall they issued! You had all the issues that kept cropping uo; BMW engineers would run 'diagnostics' that were flawed; they'd replace the wrong parts; and different problems cropped up. They finally figured this out, with a major recall that had a 'menu' of fixes, depending on what they'd tried on your car already.... .
I am surprised that you met the lemon criteria, provided the evidence, and gave them a written demand and they ignored it.... yes, they will tell you "oh, we replaced different parts each time", but the trick is to build the trap early on- and argue that this vehicle is affected by the core diesel emissions fault...
And also, the dealer is a major factor in the success of a lemon claim- if your SA or manager or warranty manager at the dealer says "yeah, this car is a mess, we agree", then BMWNA lemons it. If the dealer is a dcik, BMWNA says 'tough'.
Keep us posted...
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
Quick update . . . put in over 1,200 miles after the catalytic converter switch . . . car performed like a charm. This drive included several ascends and descends (over 8,000 feet) . . . had zero issues. Only problem the front brake pads wore out (it was on the raggedy edge) . . . upon our return dealer replaced pads and rotor.
On those twisty roads - it was pure pleasure to drive this car!
Not to resurrect an old thread to annoy anybody, but hopefully to help others with my experience ... CEL back on for me at 30K miles. Hopefully RPsX5d did not have this problem resurrect again. Mine was "looked at" (or fixed) by BMW Regional Tech Representative sent by BMWNA last time, not the dealer. The "fix" lasted ~10K miles.

Fuel mileage around 22.5 mpg (50/50 hwy/city) . . . yes I have the wheel/tire option 214 and the 3rd row. A year ago the indicated mpg was 23.3 mpg. The best I can do today is about 26 mpg - all hwy, steady 70 mph.
Sorry to hear. Post your codes, as well as how it goes...
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
Car dropped off today morning. The code is 46F9 (heater and temperature sensor in active urea exhaust/reducing agent tank). Anyway, now they have me in a X1 28i and I have already been told that the earliest I can expect car back is by Monday. Code 46F9 has already been reported by other 335D owners. There are also posts about this being a $3,000 repair. Mine is still under warranty. Quick google of 46F9 also reveals aftermarket (reman) parts for the "SCR container", though only for up to MY 2010. So, I would guess this is NOT an uncommon problem up to a certain MY X5 35Ds.

Got my car back today. Cause identified as: "SCR active reservoir, including mounting leaking". Here's the statement in the final service order: "SCR Active tank temp sensor internal failure. Verified complaint. Interrogated fault memory. Found fault 46F9 stored in DDE. Battery voltage at 12.2V. Recharged battery. Performed test plan for fault. Checked status request of SCR active tank. Found temp sensor shorted, reading -4 Degrees C. As per test plan, checked wiring at SCR tank. All wiring is good, no damage found. Test plan states to replace the SCR active tank."

Good thread, though no definite reason for the P20EE code.
At 49.980 miles on my 2011 35d, got CEL while driving on freeway. CEL stays between engine restarts. No limp mode, no drop in MPG, no extra smells, starts fine.
Made an appointment for Thursday. Meanwhile, stopped by O'Reily's and used their scanner to pull code: P20EE - SCR NOx Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1.
The scanner showed 2 instances of the same code: one permanent, the other latest, telling that CEL was triggered multiple times over last 24 hours.
Last thing was done to the vehicle at dealership on 12/13/2013:
* Scheduled Maintenance (they didn't even do multi-point inspection, just the usual balance and alignment check, bluh bluh).
* Recall for EGR Bracket (SIB 11-06-13 (EGB bracket recall and repair))
* Changed wipers
* Creaking driver's seat plastic
The report does not mention any reprogramming, unless some was done as part of the recall for the bracket.
What I got from this thread about possible root causes:
* Too sensitive software / bad software
* Bad sensor
* Bad cat converter
* DEF issues (degraded fluid, foreign fluid in DEF, etc) degrading performance of cat converter (i.e. too much NoX out of converter, hence "efficiency below").
Going to be an interesting conversation with SA on Thursday.
Hopefully the root cause will be found (not confident about it, and certain it won't be found at first try). Good to have this done while still under original warranty rather than having to invoke federal emissions warranty.

recognize that the federal emissions warranty covers ONLY 3 parts:
OBD computer
DO NOT think that there is an "all my emsissions faults are covered federal warranty".
Get ALL the faults in writing on a BMWNA repair order with under 50,000 on the Odo
You may have State mandated coverage- there are a few states that follow CA- so everyone needs to know their own state rules.
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
My state (WA) seems to follow CA:
Agency filings affecting this section
Requirement to meet California vehicle emission standards.
I would imagine CA would have stricter standards and better warranty mandate than on federal level. Would you happen to know what components/terms are mandated by CA (and WA) that go beyond Fed?
page 39 of the warranty booklet.
Go to BMWUSA.com...owners...manuals..2011..x5..warranty booklet.
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
Thanks, ard.
As I mentioned before, the check engine light occured at 49,978 miles. Took the vehicle to dealer today, mileage now about 50,150.
Was taken aback when SA had to go talk to service manager. Despite me showing the pic of service engine light at 49978, both of them gave me the talk about BMWNA being very strict, since they key reads over 50K miles now.
They did say it was in their interest to fix the vehicle, since they get paid by BMWNA, it was just a matter of diagnosing and formal approval by BMW.
At the minimum, the SA agreed that emissions law would cover it, pending tech's confirmation this is an emissions issue.
Still, I feel like this is still a warranty claim, not some good will repair by BMW, or emissions law repair.
Question: is there any official text regarding "mileage when problem occured" vs "mileage when vehicle brought in"? I could not find anything in the warranty booklet.
It would be nice to have as backup.
Last edited by serge1; 12-19-2013 at 10:43 AM.
2 NoX sensors were replaced (pre and post catalyst). Job was done under justification of the 70K miles state mandated emissions warranty.
They tried to get to the root of the problem, kept the vehicle 2 full days in order to check if the problem reappears on cold morning (apparently it would likely happen when it's cold).
BMW of Bellevue provided me with free loaner as well, despite going via "emission warranty" vs. "original warranty". Doesn't matter now, I am very happy with the service and (so far) work.
Fingers crossed, let's hope it was *the* root of the issue.

NORTHFIELD, IL -- Kraft Foods Group Inc. plans to sell Maxwell House and Gevalia portion packs that are compatible with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters' Keurig single-serve brewers.
Kraft spokesperson Basil Maglaris told Reuters that the cups, set to roll out in the U.S. within the next several months, are not licensed. This means Green Mountain will not receive any royalties from their sale.
Certain Green Mountain patents related to the design of its K-Cups expired in September, opening doors for competitors to bring their own compatible solutions to market. Among the first were the Kroger's and Safeway supermarket chains. | SEE STORY
Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, Folgers and Millstone coffees are all available in Keurig K-Cups, licensed by Green Mountain.
Kraft also manufactures the rival single-serve Tassimo system for office coffee service operators and consumers. Tassimo brewers work with Kraft's proprietary T Discs, which are imprinted with barcodes that the brewer reads to adjust water temperature, volume, flow rate and time for optimum brew results.
In addition to the wave of new portion packs, Green Mountain faces increased competition in the single-cup brewer arena, including coffee giant Starbucks, which launched its Verismo machine last month. | SEE STORY

Fantastic tone.
The Crate FlexWave FW65 is a mid-sized stage/rehearsal guitar combo amp that uses the FlexWave Evolution 5 preamp and Sequential Cascading Gain technology to pump 65 watts of rich, articulate tone through a 12" speaker. Variable 3-channel operation lets you switch between clean, dirty, and saturated channels with the included remote footswitch. And Digital Signal Processing (DSP) effects add separate delay, modulation, and reverb to your signal. Crate's Channel Tracking automatically stores your DSP settings, so the amp recalls which effect is assigned to each channel when you switch between them. Develop your own sound by tweaking the onboard 3-band EQ. The solo channel features Crate's proprietary Shape Control circuit for crafting dynamic custom lead tones. A built-in tuner ensures that you're constantly in tune.

Comments about Crate FlexWave Series FW65 65W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
I bought this amp brand new because I wanted something better than the small amp I normally practiced with. It's a typical solid state amp with lots of the features found on other amps of this type. The first amp I got was defective out of the box. The DSP setting for delay (long) was not able to be turned off, so you could never use anything other than the long delay setting. The store swapped it out immediately (after trying it out and confirming it was defective) for another one which worked perfectly......at first. Now this amp has the DSP setting stuck on flanger and won't come off. Not necessarily bad if you like the sound, though. So in both cases the digital effects (quality) is suspect. In addition, this amp is not truly a "modeling" amp(as it is often sold) because it provides "clean" which sounds very nice, very bright, and has a very good quality, "overdrive" which is a generic overdrive sound with no character and not much adjustment, and "high gain" which is so wild it's almost unbearable. There really are no other sounds. I borrowed a friend's Boss ME-25 pedal and played through the clean channel and the sounds were absolutely amazing coming from this amp. On the plus side, the amp has phenomenal power and punch, it carries low tones as well as high tones extremely well, and with a good pedal I feel you could use this amp to perform in small clubs if you needed to. This amp will carry when turned up loud..........period. And the built-in tuner is convenient for "rough tuning" if you just wanted to quick check your axe here and there. It's not a precision tuner but it gets you in the ballpark and for a small led type thing.......it actually works okay. The knobs are decent quality and the amp looks like a much more expensive amp. Realistically, for what you pay you get A LOT of amp here. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that in my case the DSP stuff hasn't functioned well, so I wonder about the quality of the electronics in these. I contacted Crate directly and they are very helpful, the warranty is great on these, just not sure if I want to take the time to send it to one of their repair centers........because currently I use it every day and personally I kinda like the flanger. If you buy this amp and you want a lot of neat sounds, I recommend you also purchase a multiple effects box..........and for what you spend on this, you probably could.
Comments about Crate FlexWave Series FW65 65W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
This is a descent amp!! Very good for medium size gigs. Not too big, but delivers 65 watts of pure power. The built in tuner is not so great but does the job. I really like the build in effects loop also. I connect my TC G-Sharp and it sounds fantastic !!! The distortions are pretty good too. I am happy with the purchase.
Comments about Crate FlexWave Series FW65 65W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
well i'll just keep this simple. I wanted a basic amp just to run when I wasnt in the studio or at a show. The design is pretty good...your regular solid state. The specs that crate supplies are dead on and there's no false advertising here. The amp itself does a pretty nice job at cleans with decent enough effects to get a good crisp tone. The speaker is brilliantly loud and for most instances you wont need to raise the volume more than half. There's a nice rich depth and with enough tweaking you can achieve a great tonal balance. The overdrive and high gain tones on this are good enough for most players although i would recommend using your favorite stompbox over the clean channel if you want more devilish distortion. Thats for you my fellow death metal players. Dont buy this expecting a Krank amp tone. Still, I'll give it a 5 star rating because all in all, for the price, you'd be a real idiot to want more. You're gonna have a lotta fun with this one if you buy it....trust me.
Comments about Crate FlexWave Series FW65 65W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp:
If you are looking at this amp, buy it! I've had it for about 5 months and it is outstanding! The clean channel is almost acoustic, the overdrive is outstanding for punk or alternative. I'm a metalhead and the high gain is good, but it isn't enough for more extreme hardcore Job for a Cowboy-type metal. I use it for playing in church (one which is quite big, too) and it was perfect, both tone and volume. It is VERY loud, almost as loud as a stack, I never found my self having to turn it up louder than 1/3 of its volume. if you are in a huge band and need more power, it can be hooked up to a cab. The tuner is helpful too. GREAT AMP!!!

Citation: Martinez, G., Pachepsky, Y.A., Vereecken, H. 2012. How can climate, soil, and monitoring schedule affect temporal stability of soil water contents. [abstract]. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Temporal stability (TS) of soil water content (SWC) reflects the spatio-temporal organization of soil water. The TS SWC was originally recognized as a phenomenon that can be used to provide temporal average SWC of an area of interest from observations at a representative location(s). Currently application fields of TS SWC are numerous, e.g. up- and downscaling SWC, SWC monitoring and data assimilation, precision farming, and sensor network design and optimization. However, the factors that control the SWC organization and TS SWC are not completely understood. Among these factors are soil hydraulic properties that are considered as local controls, weather patterns, and the monitoring schedule. The objective of this work was to use modeling to assess the effect of these factors on the spatio-temporal patterns of SWC. We ran the HYDRUS6 code to simulate four years of SWC in 4-m long soil columns. The columns were assumed homogeneous, soil hydraulic conductivity was drawn from lognormal distributions. Sets of columns were generated separately for sandy loam and loamy soils, soil water retention was set to typical values for those soil textures. Simulations were carried out for four climates present at the continental US. The climate-specific weather patterns were obtained with the CLIGEN code using climate-specific weather observation locations that were humid subtropical from College Station (TX), humid continental from Indianapolis (IN), cold semiarid from Moscow (ID) and hot semiarid from Tucson (AZ). We evaluated the TS and representative location (RL) selections by comparing i) different climates; ii) for the same climates different years; iii) different time intervals between samplings; iv) one year duration surveys vs. one month summer campaigns; and v) different seasons of the same year. Spatial variability of the mean relative differences (MRD) differed among climates for both soils, as the probability of observing the same variance in the MRD was lower than 29%. These differences were smaller for the loamy soils than for the sandy loam and may be related to more inertia to changes in SWC in the loam soil. The probability that the variance in MRD depended on sampling frequency was always higher than 89% in the sandy loam soil and was above 97% in the loamy soil. Same variability of MRD with July and the whole year SWC was generally low probable and depended on the soil type and climate. Different variability of the MRD with season was found with at least a 55% probability. Larger differences were observed for the robustness of the MRD than for its spatial variability. The inter-annual difference in MRD variation from short and intensive summer campaigns was highly probable for all climates. There were more coincidences under the different scenarios analyzed in the RL selected for the sandy loam soil than for the loamy soil. Among the methods used for selection of RL, those that are based on a minimum difference with MRD of zero showed more consistency than others. The TS appears to be the result of the interplay between climate, soil properties, and survey protocols. One implication of this factor interaction effect on TS SWC is that a simulation study can be useful to decide on the feasibility of including a search for the representative location based on TS for a specific site.

Their lockers stand in a row, interrupted only by a doorway leading into the Dodgers' clubhouse at Camelback Ranch.
Their nameplates represent the best problem general manager Ned Colletti can have: Too much starting pitching.
Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Josh Beckett, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Chad Billingsley, Ted Lilly, Chris Capuano and Aaron Harang won't all fit in the rotation. None can be sent to the minor leagues. It's a problem that epitomizes the spoils of the Dodgers' estimated $213 million payroll.
Or is it a problem?
All eight pitchers reported to camp healthy and two, Lilly and Capuano, said they would consider switching to the bullpen.
"I want to be a part of what's going on here first and foremost," Lilly said Tuesday, when Dodgers pitchers and catchers reported to spring training. "I would prefer (pitching out of the bullpen here) other than go somewhere else and start, yes, but I would like to start."
Said Capuano: "I want to be part of this organization and what's going on here. Most importantly I want to win. At this point of my career, I want to be part of something special.
"I would certainly have to think about (moving to the bullpen) if the time came for that conversation."
Don Mattingly isn't taking volunteers yet. But the Dodgers manager acknowledged he has a tentative plan for who could switch to the bullpen if needed.
"I don't really want to start naming names, start throwing stuff out, but we're going to work eight guys as starters," he said. "We feel like, just from the past, we've got a few guys that are better-off suited to do it (relieve). Some guys take longer to warm up, all that type of stuff, and wouldn't fit."
Kershaw and Greinke will anchor the rotation. Mattingly said he's ruled out moving Beckett to the bullpen and Colletti said he isn't considering moving Ryu, who signed a 6-year, $36 million contract in December. Billingsley has been a starter since June 2007 and was not as receptive to a move. He said merely, "I'm not thinking about that right now."
That leaves Lilly, Capuano and Harang as the prime candidates to change from a starter's program to a reliever's program at some point this spring. Colletti said "you have to have" at least one possible spot starter in the bullpen, so that's another endorsement for moving at least one pitcher.
He also said none of the eight pitchers have asked for a trade, but that could change, too.
Capuano, 34, is owed $6 million this season. His contract does not include a no-trade clause, but it does include a mutual option for 2014 or a $1 million buyout. That's not especially cost-prohibitive given the current market rate for starting pitchers, but it's not cheap, either.
Harang, also 34, is due $7 million with a mutual option for 2014 or a $2 million buyout. The two pitchers were similarly efficient in 2012:
Harang went 10-10 with a 3.61 ERA, Capuano 12-12 with a 3.72 ERA.
For now, the general manager is not eager to make a trade.
"You think I'd like to be sitting here with five (starting pitchers) and one (Lilly) coming off of shoulder surgery who really hasn't pitched since May, I think?" Colletti asked. "And somebody else to have missed all that time in August and September with perhaps Tommy John surgery looming? You think I'd like to be sitting here with five including those two scenarios? I don't think I'd like that."
Billingsley and Lilly have done all they can to ease concerns about their health.
Lilly said he's fully recovered from arthroscopic shoulder surgery last September and his throwing schedule is "maybe a little bit behind" where it normally would be this time of year.
When Billingsley was diagnosed with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow last September, the Dodgers opted for a conservative treatment regimen of rest, ice and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections. So far it's worked. Billingsley increased his velocity from 50 to 90 mph under close supervision and has thrown all his pitches this off-season without pain.
"You have these certain points where we're going to test the ligament, testing our arm," he said. "Each time I passed with flying colors."
The Dodgers have time to let Lilly and Billingsley prove themselves healthy. The latest edition of the World Baseball Classic runs most of March, turning spring training into a six-week exercise for pitchers and catchers. No Dodgers starters are expected to participate in the WBC.
Left-handed reliever Scott Elbert is expected to be out until the end of April, Colletti said, so there's already one extra bullpen job up for grabs until then. It's a question of who wants it, and the answer is not as simple as it seems.

Shocking alleged details of peeping toms vile efforts to watch women from beneath public toilets
(Billy Hallowell) Peeping Toms are always creepy in that they covertly observe victims against their will and without their knowledge. But these antics become ever more troubling when certain voyeurs take extraordinary actions to engage in and fulfill their twisted and secretive conquests. Take, for instance, the allegations against Kenneth Webster Enlow, 52, a purported peeping Tom who reportedly hid inside a septic tank and stared up at women from beneath public toilets.
Yes, you read that correctly. After being discovered underneath a public restroom, Enlow has been charged with a peeping Tom complaint. He was caught in Tulsa County, Oklahoma, after a woman took her 7-year-old daughter to the bathroom at a local park.
When the got inside the bathroom, the mother and daughter duo were in for a surprise. Enlow was allegedly staring up at them from inside the toilet.

It's been a while I've eaten out. The new adherence to a healthy diet is to blame. But you know I love food and trying out new places. Monday night I wandered to 36 Oak & Barley with Sonal Ved for a bloggers' dinner. Presenting an account in her voice:
Alice and I, match like cheese and cracker. While she is bursting with knowledge on fashion and all-things-girly; cooking and all-things-food are my forte. After a food riot at Le Pain Quotidien last year, Alice vowed to do more fun posts with me. Blog posts that involved lots of catching up, cake and calories. Back then, I didn't have a blog of my own, so we never really got down to business. But three months ago, I started whenharrymetcelery and we saw this as a good opportunity to go get together once again. Here is the first of the many to come.
Restaurant review: 36 Oak and Barley
It would be technically incorrect to start a food review with the last course first. But even after 12 hours of savouring your last bit of cloud-like panna cotta, if you are hazy-eyed, all is fair.

La Chartreuse de Bonpas is a medieval fortified convent located near Avignon in the Provence region of France, on the Durance River. According to legend, the area was originally called "Maupas" (bad passage) because it was dominated by dangerous bandits. In the 12th century, a holy man named Sibertius arrived with soldiers, built a convent, and chased away the evil bandits. Thus, the name was changed from "Maupas" to "Bonpas" (good passage) and became known as a safe haven allowing travelers a secure crossing of the Durance River .
Today, this historic monument is surrounded by 45 acres of A.O.C. Cotes du Rhone vineyards and is home to Louis Bernard. Visitors can tour the chapel, stroll in the beautiful French-style gardens, and enjoy wine tasting in the ancient cellar. View all Louis Bernard Wines
About Cotes du Rhone
The appellation of Côtes du Rhône encompasses much of the land of the area, not to mention much of the wine – over two-thirds of the wine produced here is of the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation. Wines here need only be from the Côtes de Rhône geographic area (which is fairly large) and consist of one or more of the 22 varieties permitted. Being such a wide classification, it's a surprise and joy that so many of these wines reach such a high quality. While there are areas in the Northern Rhône that meet the classification of Côtes du Rhône, most all of this appellation is in the Southern Rhône. Wines here are based mostly on Grenache, like other Rhône reds, while the whites focus on Marsanne and Roussanne. Viognier is also allowed although typically used in smaller quantities.
Notable FactsThere is one higher level in the Côtes du Rhône called Côtes du Rhône Villages. These wines are from specific village areas that have a few more standards the wine must reach to receive the village label. Some to take note of are Cairanne, Rasteau, Seguret and Beaumes-de-Venise. The good thing about both Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages is that big producers of the smaller appellations are taking the opportunity and freedom offered by this broad appellation and creating wines of very high quality, and lower in price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

"'Faith, Family, and Football' is what she said to me on one of our first dates. In that order, these were the things that were most important to her in life. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would meet my best friend and future wife half way across the country, much less on a dating website."
Family is actually the real reason we met. Ironically, each one of our parents, her dad and my mom, both pushed us individually to sign up for ChristianMingle. Alina was watching the San Francisco 49ers football game on TV at home with her dad, like they do for every 49ers game, and one of ChristianMingle's commercials was shown on the TV. Her father, who usually doesn't bring up her dating life, eloquently mentioned to Alina that she should try the website. He implied that she's at the age where she should start to find a man! For a very loving father who initially may not have wanted to give up his only daughter so quickly, I soon entered the pictured and am now making him eat his own words!
While family and football is what brought us together, our faith is what will ultimately make us last. I now have a partner who supports and encourages me to develop a deeper relationship with God. I used to go to church whenever it was convenient for me; I now attend every Sunday in addition to the small groups I'm involved with during the week. We continue to receive God's favor daily as we also just recently purchased our first home. Alina, won't officially move in until after the wedding, but we couldn't be more excited to have a home to start our family in. After recently completing a seventeen-week marriage counseling course, further validating that we are perfect for each other, I'm getting ready to walk down the aisle in a few short months to marry my best friend.

NonlinearModelFit to multiple data sets simultaneously?
Hello All,
I'd like to fit the following model to time series data I've collected:
- ArcTan[( Sqrt[K1/K2] (t0 - t) ) / Sqrt[K1*K2]
where K1, K2, and t0 are unknown parameters. Currently I'm using NonlinearModelFit to independently extract each of these parameters from five different datasets, even though the only parameter expected to change between the datasets is K1. Is there a way to NonlinearModelFit to all the data at once to find the single values of t0 and K2 that give best fit to all, while still allowing K1 to 'float'?

Ovarian Cancer Survivors Push for More Attention
October may be Breast Cancer Awareness month, but there is another form of cancer which some say needs more attention, more funding and more research.
Some of the women who have survived ovarian cancer say there is a dangerous misconception that regular checkups include a screening for that type of cancer.
Detection is considered critical to survival, but the National Cancer Institute estimated better than 22,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012, and well over 15,000 women were expected to die of the disease. (For comparison, the NCI estimates that 226,870 women would be diagnosed with breast cancer, and 39,510 women would die of that disease this year.)
Health professionals recommend you look for problems like bloating, abdominal pains and urinary symptoms. Such symptoms which persist for a couple of weeks probably indicate you should get to get to a doctor.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview dated September 6th, 2011
Surat as-Saffat,
The Prophet Abraham (pbuh) says,
"Is it falsehood – gods besides Allah – that you desire?"
Some of these people adopt Abdullah Ocalan as their god, while others adopt Stalin or Lenin. The perverse types in those times also acted like that.
"So what are your thoughts about the Lord of all the worlds?"
I ask people, "Do you believe in Allah?" He asks "What are your thoughts about Allah?" Look, he says:
"He took a look at the stars."
This is knowledge from the mind of Allah. Our brothers who know this will be able to unravel many matters, including understanding me.
"He took a look at the stars."
The Prophet Abraham (pbuh) looks at the stars in the sky.
"and said, 'I am sick'."
This is knowledge from the mind of Allah. The Prophet Abraham (pbuh) is not sick. He does not infer anything from the stars. Muslims do not draw conclusions from the stars. That is out of the question. But he tells them he is ill. Though he is not.
"So they turned their backs on him."
He gets results from this knowledge from the mind of Allah, from this secret knowledge. He has done the right thing. The same thing applies to the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) and the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). And Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will have it, too.
"He turned surreptitiously to their gods and said, 'Do you not eat?"
Look, he gently mocks and makes fun of their gods. But they are unaware of it. This is also knowledge from the mind of Allah.
"What is the matter with you that you do not speak?"
This is also knowledge from the mind of Allah. The Prophet Abraham (pbuh) is not ascribing equals to Allah since he does not believe in the idols. But he addresses them as though they had the power of speech: "What is the matter with you that you do not speak?"
This is also acting on secret knowledge.
"He turned on them, striking out with his right hand."
This is another reflection of that knowledge.
"They came rushing back to him."
They suddenly wake up and realize what is happening.
"He said, 'Do you worship something you have carved?"
Look he now moves from secret to open knowledge. "He said, 'Do you worship something you have carved?" You are inventing fantasies for yourselves. What do I say to? "You are making all this up yourselves. Can protein come about by chance? No. Where did you get that idea from? Fossils; there are 350 million fossils all proving creation. Are there any fossils showing the opposite? Is there a single fossil corroborating Darwinism? No. So where did you get this idea from?" I ask.
"when Allah created both you and what you do?"
Allah also created Abdullah Ocalan, and Stalin and Lenin. Allah created everything.
"They said, 'Build a pyre for him and fling him into the blaze'."
This building is the prisons of our time. "…fling him into the blaze," in other words, put him to death with the worst torture, martyr him. That is what they say.
"They tried to outwit him but We made them the lowest."
This is also an application of knowledge from the mind of Allah. He allows a prophet to act on it, and also applies it Himself.
"He [Abraham] said, 'I am going towards my Lord; He will be my guide."
He says, "I place my hope in Allah."
"'My Lord, bestow on me a right-acting child!' And We gave him the good news of a forbearing boy."
Someone who is learned, humble and not aggressive. Forbearance is a characteristic of Muslims.
"When he was of an age to work with him, he said, 'My son, I saw in a dream that I must sacrifice you'."
He dreamed of killing him.
"What do you think about this?' He (his son Ishmael] said:"
He is the father of our Arab brothers today. The Arab nation is descended from him.
"Do as you are ordered, father."
Though he is still a young child.
"Allah willing, you will find me resolute."
He is devoted to Allah with a deep faith.
"Then when they had both submitted and he had lain him face down on the ground,
We called out to him, 'Abraham!
you have discharged your vision.' That is how We recompense good-doers."
In other words, Almighty Allah is saying, "I have seen that you love Me more than your own child." "Your child is fully submitted to Allah," He says, "and you are also fully submitted." Because both are prophets, the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh) and the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Allah bestowed the moral values of a prophet of Ishmael (pbuh) from an early age.
"This was indeed a most manifest trial."
This means that Allah tests believers in a very intense way. They have to be good natured, steadfast and submitted to Him.
"We ransomed him with a mighty sacrifice."
A ram. The prophet Abraham (pbuh) sacrifices the ram there. They cook it and eat it, insha'Allah. That lovely smell of roasting meat.
"and left the later people saying of him:"
One should pray for the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and his line at every prayer. One must pray for the success of the Prophet Abraham's (pbuh) line. What will happen when that prayer is heeded? The global dominion of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), of the Imam Mahdi (pbuh), insha'Allah.
"Peace be upon Abraham."
And we also greet him.

'Do Your Part,' Michelle Obama Says on 'Let's Move' 1st Anniversary
Latest Exercise & Fitness News
First Lady Calls for All Americans to Join Child Obesity Fight
By Daniel J. DeNoon
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
Feb. 9, 2011 -- What's next for Michelle Obama's 1-year-old Let's Move program to fight the child obesity epidemic?
"What we want to see is more, to challenge everyone to do more. We need more parents engaged: stepping up and changing habits and behaviors, and looking for the advice and sharing their best practices with other families," Obama said in a news teleconference held prior to the Atlanta speech marking the first anniversary of Let's Move.
"Sometimes as parents we are just plain tired," Obama said during her speech. "But don't give up. Keep fighting. Change things at home but also in your neighborhoods and schools. ... We have a voice, and when we come together to use that voice we can change things.
In her speech, the first lady looked back on what Let's Move has accomplished -- and looked forward to what still needs to be done to curb the U.S. explosion of child obesity.
What has the program accomplished so far?
"We are starting to see a fundamental shift in the conversation about how we eat and how we grow and get our food," Obama said. "We have seen a hopeless scenario turn into hope. We have seen a nationwide movement -- and we are calling it a movement -- to see kids across our country have everything they need to be healthy."
Child obesity expert Stephanie Walsh, MD, medical director of child wellness at Children's Hospital of Atlanta, says the program already is a success. And she agrees with Obama that it's becoming a movement rather than just another government program.
"Her focus on this issue has really brought this to the forefront in everybody's mind. So many people have worked on this for so long, and it is now a movement," Walsh tells WebMD. "She is supporting our efforts."
Most importantly, kids are getting with the program.
"What is really neat is my patients come in and say, 'The first lady says we should move more,' or, 'In my school, we are talking about the first lady,'" Walsh says. "It is making movement more positive -- it isn't painful, it's fun."
"obesity" and "fun" are words not often used in the same sentence. WebMD asked Obama what she's doing to engage children.
"We need to make sure kids understand exercise is the secret code word for play," Obama said. "You don't have to join a sports league or run on a treadmill. For some, it is turning on the radio and dancing in the living room, or running with your pet. Exercise should be fun, and it will take all of us to send those messages. Then we will see more folks stepping up to engage kids."
Michelle Obama: Let's Move Achievements, Goals
Obama listed a number of things Let's Move has accomplished in its first year:
But Obama also noted that her pet program has only just begun.
"There are many, many more things to do," she said. "There is still a long way to go. With one in three kids overweight or obese, we are nowhere near the finish line. ... This stuff is personal. This stuff is emotional. This is the stuff that keeps us awake at night."
In the coming months, Obama said Let's Move will try to:
In an appearance on NBC's Today, Obama told Matt Lauer that the program's most important achievement to date has been the "broad-based coalition of people who are stepping up."
"We have been shifting the lifestyle in this country," Obama told Lauer.
Walsh says this is the right approach -- to focus not on a child's weight, but on a family's behavior. She doesn't use the phrase "child obesity" because labels don't help. Instead she talks about a family's "struggle with weight," because it is a struggle for families to find the time and money needed for good nutrition and more physical exercise.
And Walsh warns families not to try to do everything at once.
"We ask for one change at a time. Make one change, do it well, then make another change," she says. "I had a family come in with two teenagers, and the small step they were able to do was turn off all media while they ate dinner. And when they did, they realized all the junk they were eating and changed their habits on their own. Are they doing things perfectly? No, but they are making one change at a time."
WebMD's Valarie Basheda contributed to this report.

Caffeine – boost energy, focus, fat burning and performance
Several studies support the use of caffeine before exercise. It stimulates the central nervous system, raising alertness and focus. If you have caffeine before a workout, it tends to decrease your perception of how hard you're working. Caffeine also has a mild fat burning effect, which can spare carbohydrate and enhance endurance performance. Several reports have shown caffeine can increase strength as well. An effective caffeine dose is 100-200 mg, equivalent to about 1-2 cups of coffee.
Creatine – increase strength, power and muscle size
A large amount of work supports that creatine supplementation increases muscle creatine levels and high-intensity exercise performance. I would give it 5 out of 5 stars on a rating scale for athletes to combine it with weight training. Creatine boosts muscle strength and power.
Studies I conducted showed subjects got stronger in bench press and squat exercises while increasing muscle fiber size. Muscle creatine accumulation occurs over 3-5 days of multiple daily doses of about 5g. A maintenance dose is then required to keep muscle creatine levels elevated. Including the maintenance dose of 3-5g of creatine in a pre-workout formula is a good idea. On non-workout days, take 3-5g of creatine to keep your muscles saturated and primed for your next workout.
Beta-alanine – delay muscle fatigue
Studies indicate that beta-alanine supplementation increases muscle levels of carnosine, an intracellular buffer that helps fight fatigue during high-intensity exercise. One study showed beta-alanine increased total work done during a strength training session by 20%. An advantage of consuming creatine and beta-alanine in a pre-workout formula is that blood levels will be increased at a time when blood flow is increased and redistributed to active muscles, and thus should promote greater overall delivery of the substances to muscle.
Similar to creatine, muscle levels increase over several days/weeks, so the timing of ingestion is not critical. An effective daily dose is 3.2-6.4g in divided doses. A pre-workout drink that contains at least 1.6g would give you half of the daily minimum dose, and you should take another dose during the day to keep your muscle carnosine levels elevated.
L-arginine – for nitric oxide production
L-arginine is one of the key nutrients in a rapidly growing segment of products that claim to promote vasodilation and better muscle pumps during exercise. L-arginine is an essential amino acid for synthesis of nitric oxide (NO). NO is a substance made and released by the cells that line your blood vessels. When released, NO causes a potent dilation of blood vessels, which translates into increased blood flow. Some studies have shown better blood vessel function after L-arginine supplementation in people with impaired vascular function, but positive effects in young healthy athletes are less clear. An effective L-arginine dose to impact NO is at least 3g.
Protein – increase muscle-building effects
The importance of protein after exercise is well recognized, but new research indicates that pre-exercise protein is beneficial for strength and endurance athletes. You don't need a lot; 10-20g of whey protein 30-60 minutes before a workout can increase protein synthesis by delivering more amino acid building blocks to muscle that get incorporated into proteins. The branched-chain amino acids, especially leucine, are the most important amino acids for building muscle. Leucine signals the muscle to turn on protein synthesis.
If a pre-workout drink does not have protein, you can boost its effectiveness by adding BCAAs. Protein from whey concentrate or isolate naturally contains about 22% BCAAs. Or you can take 2.5-5g of a straight BCAA powder, which would equal the BCAAs in 10-20g of whey. Maximal effects are achieved with about 3g of leucine.
Other Ingredients
Taurine – fight oxidative stress
Taurine, an amino acid, is abundant in skeletal muscle. There is evidence taurine may increase insulin sensitivity and decrease oxidative stress. It may also help burn fat in overweight individuals. Doses greater than 1g are likely needed to have any impact on cell function.
Tyrosine – improve focus and physical performance
Tyrosine is an amino acid that serves as the precursor for norepinephrine (NE). NE is an important hormone that acts in the brain to stimulate metabolism. Prolonged, intense physical stress can deplete NE levels, which is associated with a decrease in performance. Tyrosine supplementation has been shown to enhance NE levels and brain function in animals. In soldiers, tyrosine supplementation enhanced cognitive task performance during a demanding military combat training course. Effective doses are 1-2g.
Carbohydrates – fuel your workouts
The basis for consuming carbs before exercise is to provide a readily available source of glucose (fuel). I suggest you avoid the convenience store energy drinks that are loaded with sugar. Almost all carbs found in energy drinks are simple sugars. The problem with these massive amounts of carbs is they spike blood sugar and insulin levels so high, you can cause a corresponding low blood sugar crash. Equally problematic, they block your body's ability to burn fat stores. Obviously not a desirable effect if you're trying to lose weight or improve metabolic health. If you're exercising less than an hour, or if your workout goal is to burn body fat, you probably don't need to consume carbs before a workout.
Electrolytes – replace what is lost in sweat
Providing various electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, magnesium and others helps replace the electrolytes lost from sweating. If your workout is less than an hour, then they're not really critical, but are still an added bonus.
An array of pre-workout supplements are available for consumers. They often contain a long list of ingredients in varying proportions and doses. While there is research on many single or double ingredient combinations, the complex formulations in most products have not been studied, making it difficult to evaluate their effectiveness. Plus, many of the dosage amounts of each ingredient are not disclosed by the manufacturer, but shown in proprietary blends.
You may have to do some experimenting to find the right pre-workout formula that works for you, based on your fat loss or strength training goals. Or consider creating your own pre-workout drink by buying some of these ingredients separately and taking them in the doses that have been shown to work.

Three years ago, Martha Heredia won Latin American Idol and the President of the Dominican Republic told everyone of the citizens of the country to vote for her. She was so popular at the time that she could have won a presidential election. Then, thanks to bad management who did not take advantage of her fame correctly and some very poor decisions and actions by Martha including killing a boy with her car when he was running across the street and a marriage which had the 22 year old calling police frequently about being beaten. Yesterday Martha was arrested after police found 3 pounds of heroin in the heels of her shoes as she was boarding a flight from the Dominican Republic to New York City. She faces 10 years in jail if convicted.

Feminist Click Moments
In honor of the Feminist Portrait Project's Blog Carnival, (part of Feminist Coming Out Day) I'm re-posting an article I wrote this past summer about my feminist "click" moment, which I originally wrote in honor of the incomparable Courtney Martin's book Click: When We Knew We Were Feminists. Below the article are links to some of my favorite other Click moments from FBomb readers/submitters. Feel free to add your own click moments in the comments!
I had always thought that feminism was a gradual progression for me. In eighth grade, my entire grade had to research a topic of our choice and then deliver a speech to the entire middle school about it. I chose to research female feticide after reading an article about the practice …
