Eddie's Farm: July 2

Round Rock

Despite outhitting Memphis 7-4, the Express fall 2-1. Josh Banks threw an 88-pitch, complete game 8IP, 4H/2ER, 4K:1BB (and a stolen base, apparently), and got the loss. Tommy Everidge got three hits, while Bogusevic was 1x2 with 2BB. Brian Esposito was 0x4 with 4Ks.

Man of the Match: Josh Banks.

The Hooks are mired in what you would call a "losing streak" to the tune of nine games after a 6-3 loss to Tulsa. Jeremy Johnson threw 5.2IP, 7H/3ER, 6K:1BB. Fernando Abad allowed 3H/2ER in 1IP for the loss, and Danny Meszaros gave up an unearned run in 1.1IP. Michael Affronti was 2x4, and Jon Haston was 1x3 with a 2-run triple, and Jhon Florentino added your other RBI.

Man of the Match: Jon Gaston.

Brutal loss for the JetHawks as San Jose scored three in the bottom of the 9th for a 4-3 win over Lancaster. Dallas Keuchel had thrown 7H/1ER, 6K:0BB until the 9th. After getting two outs, but loading the bases, Mike Modica gave up a three-run double to Juan Perez, clearing those bases. All three runs were charged to Keuchel. Andy Simunic was 2x4, while David Flores was 1x3 with an RBI and a walk. Federico Hernandez added the other RBI.

Man of the Match: Dallas Keuchel, despite the loss.

The Legends almost got more errors than hits in a 5-0 loss at Hickory. Jose Cisnero threw 6IP, 7H/4R (3ER), 5K:2BB, while Mike Schurz allowed 1ER in 3H, with 2K:0BB in 2IP. All four errors belonged to 3B Miguel Arrendell (fielding, throwing, throwing, throwing). Rene Garcia was 2x4, while Brian Kemp was 1x4 with the only extra-base hit. Jose Altuve and Jake Goebbert added the other two hits.

Man of the Match: Rene Garcia.

The ValleyCats got themselves ten hits, but were 3x14 w/RISP, and left eleven on base on their way to a 5-4 loss to Connecticut. Jake Buchanan threw 4.2IP, 5H/3ER, 6K:1BB. Adam Champion threw 1.1IP, 2H/1ER, 1K:0BB and Brandt Walker threw a 7th inning, seeing him get 2K:2BB and a run. Andrew Robinson closed out the final two innings with 1H/0ER, 3K:0BB. Ben Orloff, Daniel Adamson, and Oscar Figueroa had two hits each, with Figueroa getting 2RBI (Enrique Hernandez and Tyler Burnett providing the other RBI). Orloff also drew two walks, getting him on base four times, resulting in one run scored. Mike Kvasnicka called the game behind the plate, and was 1x5 with the pitching staff getting 12K:3BB.

Man of the Match: Goes to Ben Orloff.

A day after getting blanked by Bristol 21-0, the Gastros were defeated again, this time by a more respectable 5-1 margin. Mike Foltynewicz allowed 2H/2ER, 2K:1BB in 2IP (an increase over his 1IP debut). Garrett Bullock gave up 5H/2ER, 0K:1BB in 3.1IP. Ryan Cole gave up 3H/1ER, 1K:0BB in 2.2IP. The Gastros did only get two hits - Chris Wallace and Telvin Nash. Ryan Humphrey scored the lone run.

Man of the Match: Ryan Cole.

GCL Astros

Nice win for the GCL Astros, 8-4 over the GCL Marlins. Mark Jones threw 4IP, 3H/2ER, 1K:4BB, and a bullpen of Rafael Feliz (0.2IP, 1ER), Juan Mojica (1.1IP, 0ER), Matison Smith (2IP, 2H/1ER) and Dieudone Paul (1IP) combined for 5IP, 4H/2ER, 3K:3BB. Brian Pellegrini - back for rehab time, Juan Monzon, and Ernesto Genoves had two hits each, with Monzon (2RBI) and Genoves (3RBI) combining in the 7-8 spot for 4x8, 5RBI. Edwin Maysonet was 1x3, RBI in a rehab start.

Man of the Match: Ernesto Genoves

Astros plan to make it more fun to watch the Astros

...Not necessarily by winning short-term, anyway, but by the opportunities they have to look to replace Milo. George Postolos is going to bring former players to the booth as he experiments with lining up on-air talent for radio broadcasts.

“One of the things we have heard early and often from season-ticket holders and others is that they would like to see more player involvement. We’re going to experiment with that this year, and we have a natural platform with our flashback Fridays and our Saturday games.

This makes me even more sad that Jose Lima is no longer with us. Because that would have been RADIO GOLD.

Ringolsby's NL Central preview barely mentions Houston

Yeah, we keep up with these predictions (you'll be able to click the Predictions label and see them all). Anyhow, Ringolsby's preview barely mentions Houston:

<i>It's difficult to imagine the Cardinals falling below .500, particularly in a six-team division that includes the Houston Astros, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs.</i>

Prediction: 6th place.

Mathematics Mentor

Dr. Martha Gregg strives to teach the creative side of mathematics — that the subject demands both “imagination and precise computation.”

The following story by Rachel James Clevenger appears in the August 2014 issue of Private University Products and News and is shared here with permission:

Because her father is a mathematician, Dr. Martha Gregg grew up knowing that math was about more than just numbers and formulas. He would share original questions and puzzles of logic with his daughter, and she delighted in the work.

From an early age, Gregg knew that creative thinking was a part of math too. At Augustana College, she enjoys teaching students about the more creative side of mathematics — that the subject demands both “imagination and precise computation.”

Gregg’s first teaching job was in Tuba City, Arizona, in a high school located on the Dine´ (Navajo) reservation and adjacent to the Hopi reservation. Nearly 97 percent of the student body of 1300 was Native American. Gregg has a personal connection to Native American culture as well, in that her husband is Hopi/Inupiat, and she’s the mother of two Native American children.

However, she is quick to stress that she is “not an expert on Native culture, nor on the teaching of Native students”; in fact, she points out, “The very term ‘Native culture’ is misleading, as each tribal culture is unique, and there are hundreds of tribes.” Though she has been teaching college for several years now, Gregg is grateful for the chance to draw from those experiences in order to serve Augustana students and even some local Sioux Falls students.

Drawing from Native American Culture for Mathematics Education

In 2011, Gregg taught a service learning course for pre-service teachers with the goal of having students “create classroom activities in mathematics which ref lect some aspect of Native culture.” Drawing wisdom from two panels of experienced (mostly Lakota) educators and from cultural consultants as well, students developed activities that ensured the “cultural aspects of their work were accurately, appropriately, and respectfully presented.”

A couple of years later, Gregg had an opportunity to teach a bridge course for five Native American students from Sioux Falls from public high schools; funded by a grant given to Augustana and the SDSU, the pilot program offered two courses for these students, the chance to spend time on the Augustana campus, and mentoring for their college applications. Both courses incorporated Native culture, while also preparing the students for success in college. One of her colleagues, Dr. Eric Wells, sees Gregg’s teaching background as making her “adept at interactions with students of many backgrounds and abilities and their teachers,” as she has applied the experiences working with Native American communities to her work at Augustana.

Taylor Allis is a mathematics and secondary education major at Augustana who begins student teaching in the fall before entering the workforce. Allis shares that she was undecided about her major until Gregg offered to be her advisor. She notes that Gregg is constantly working with her students outside of class time.

“It isn’t out of the ordinary for students to be getting help on a problem during all hours of the day. She will work with you until it clicks, even though she has plenty of other things on her to-do list.”
Taylor Allis
mathematics and secondary education major

Allis believes Gregg’s willingness to always put her students first is part of what makes Gregg an exceptional educator. She adds, “I’ve spent countless hours in her office crying, laughing, telling stories, working through frustrations, and most of all learning.”

Daniel Elmer, who plans to work as an equity or bond analyst upon graduation, has worked with Gregg since his first semester, taking three classes with her and working with Gregg in math club. Though he admires Gregg for any number of qualities—from her patience, her passion for math, and her work ethic—he believes what most separates her from other educators is “her ability to make students want to come to class, as even those people who hate math” still understand that she is a brilliant teacher with her knack of simplifying complicated material into an understandable format. He applauds her ingenuity in the props she chooses for class, using something such as guitar strings to explain math topics that might leave some students confused.

Peder Thompson, a doctoral student in commutative algebra at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, notes that when he first taught Differential Equations at UNL, he drew on what he learned from Gregg in several ways. He shares, “I think much of my excitement for teaching the course came from such an enjoyable experience in Dr. Gregg’s class just a few years prior. One topic in Differential Equations that particularly stuck with me was Laplace Transforms; my students asked why I was so excited about teaching them, and I told them that I had enjoyed learning about them so much from my own professor and wanted to pass on that same enthusiasm for mathematics."

Dr. Wells commends Gregg for her skill in incorporating active learning into traditionally didactic, proof-based courses. In one of her classes that Wells observed, Gregg worked an assignment with predefined groups, with each group presenting proofs simultaneously. He notes, “The trick was that all the proofs were related. When they were finished, the group discussion examined the similarities and differences in the proofs, and thus more material was covered than would be possible in the same amount of time by a single instructor working didactically.”

Learning to Teach

When she started her master’s degree, Gregg notes that a weekend-long preparation was customary to prepare graduate teaching assistants. In her weekend prep sessions, she and other graduate students were given plenty of advice on expectations for graduate students, common stresses for graduate students, and even dealing with the university. Gregg found herself thinking, “When are they going to talk about teaching?” Finally, in the last few minutes of the weekend, they mentioned teaching briefly; Gregg could only think, “Oh my gosh, my poor fellow graduate students.”

Even if those students had focused their entire weekend on the act of teaching, though, Gregg recognizes the impossibility of “teaching how to teach” in such a short time and argues for the necessity of an “ongoing supportive mechanism” for mentoring young teachers and graduate students. She also pointed out the irony of the most inexperienced teachers, brand new TAs, often being placed with most inexperienced college students.

A friend of hers told her early in Gregg’s teaching career, “Everybody who teaches has a first year teaching—and it won’t be their best year.” Gregg shares, “I really learned to teach the first three years in the classroom.” She felt privileged to learn from coworkers who had decades of classroom experience to draw on, and she adds she still says things in class that she heard from her first department chair.

Because she taught high school for nine years, Gregg is especially attuned to the difficulties that first-year students might face with the material. For instance, she recognizes that the “speed at which the material comes at them” is quite different, with high school students learning a little bit of new content each day, while college students are expected to have mastered skills learned in Monday’s class and to come prepared to move on by Wednesday’s class. She notes, as well, that it’s a “much more intense, concentrated lesson” in a college lecture, and some students may underestimate how much time they will need to spend practicing the new skill on their own time.

Mentoring and Math Teachers Circles

Gregg has been involved with Project NExT for several years, as a Fellow in 2009 during her second year at Augustana. Project NExT is a national project that connects recent PhD recipients in mathematics and statistics whose goal is to help prepare faculty members in academic careers and mentoring younger faculty. Gregg still goes to the listserv to consult with her fellow NExTers, accessing their advice “again and again and again” from suggestions for textbooks to designs for a new science building to advice on the overhaul of a course. She believes this mentoring is a “great way to start your career and useful to the entire profession.

She has been pleased to see the changes over the years as programs better recognize that colleges and universities are not just charged with helping their graduate students complete their own academic goals—but to turn their teaching assistants into effective educators.

Teaching to Teach

Though she acknowledges that some people may be natural teachers who easily learn from their own mistakes, she recognizes that learning to teach can be challenging for any number of reasons. She also adds, “Teaching somebody how to teach is a very difficult thing to do,” in that differing styles and techniques can be equally effective, yet new teachers would need to find their own styles and strengths through actual classroom experience.

Interestingly, Gregg is a perfect example of continuing to recognize and draw from the experiences of her own mentors, even as she mentors her own students. For the last few months, she’s been working with colleague Eric Wells from the physics department, who has been serving a dual leadership role over both departments, and she will soon step in as chair for the math department. Wells has been handling all of the paperwork, so she can focus on earning tenure, while still bringing in Gregg for all important choices; because of her colleague’s generosity and assistance, she’s been “getting a feel for the sorts of decisions to make” and learning how to focus on the daily details as well as the “big picture” of the department’s plan for the next decades.

One of the ongoing changes they have been focused on within the department is giving their students more research opportunities. Gregg wants to see their students continue to engage with undergraduate research, which requires upper-level analytical tools because “it’s more open-ended, and there’s no answer in the back of the book.” They learn that working on one problem can take months, and she stresses to students who are entertaining the idea of graduate school that the payoff for finding an answer—after potentially expending a great deal of time and energy on one problem—has to be enough for them. Otherwise, she adds, “It’s like applying for a job without knowing the job description.”

Mentoring that Lasts

In recalling his own undergraduate research, Peder Thompson applauds the skillful way Gregg handled his senior thesis project on abstract algebra, as she gave him “exactly the amount of direction” he needed to be successful—intuitively knowing when to step in and when to leave him to work things out on his own. He adds, “This balance of guided learning and independence she provided has served me well in all my work and even into my current research.”

Finally, Gregg’s passion for numbers has also brought her to create a Math Teachers Circle—which works similarly to a book club, but for math lovers. She read about the concept and immediately thought, “Oh, I want one.” Gregg and a group of local educators meet monthly and hash out open-ended problems for a couple of hours over dinner.” Wells shares that Gregg’s work with the local Math Teachers Circle has made her well respected within the local community. He concludes, “She’s a good citizen both within and beyond campus.”

GE was well into the Filter Flo models by this time. From what I understand, this is the only year they made the timer dial on the opposite side of where they normally placed it. This machine is a very nice flexible machine that you can set any temperature and speed combination for whatever your needs might be. With the exception of a cold wash, it would do just about anything necessary. These washers did a good job of washing, rinsing and spinning out the clothes. I would say that the load capacity was about average for a solid tub model. The FF feature served to be a good selling point for some people too. I used to enjoy watching our neighbor's washer as it washed. I thought the FF circulating through the filter pan was cool.

I've seen this POD a number of times and thought the placement of the cycle dial to the far left on the console was a unique set-up. You certainly don't see that very often. The dial is almost always to the right or in the center of the console.

If not for videos at AW and YouTube, I would have never seen a solid-tub GE in action.

Is there any particular reason why PotD is always an American vertical-axis top-loader? Personally, I would be more interested in seeing front-loaders (especially Bendix), and perhaps even some European content. The big agitator washers are all but unknown this side of the Atlantic.

This is another washing machine I remember vividly from early childhood, as one of my aunt's had one. Since at the time my family lived in an apartment complex, we did't have our own laundry machines.
So, occasionally, my aunt would invite my mom to come to her house, and do our laundry there.

The GE FF's fro that era, and a very distinctive sound; I can only describe it as a "mechanical gurgling" sound, which I assume might have come from the FF system?

Any info on that, would be appreciated.

I have the dryer from this pair and the dryer has the push to start switch and another pink switch to turn the light on and off.

This dryer was the first with the solid drum and the heater in a duct behind the drum so while the washer mechanism resembles the one of the previous year, the dryer mechanism was a new design.

The new dryer design that they introduced in 1957 was called their "High-Speed" dryer, and used negative pressure, whereby the blower pulled the warmed air through the drum (and the clothes) rather than blowing/blasting the warmed air through the drum.  With a few minor tweeks, GE kept this design through the Filter-flo run, with the exception of the last year.

Seeing this ad reminds me, yet again, that I have the Suds-Saver version of the '57 Filter-Flo washer and the matching dryer and have still not done anything with either... Still traumatized by my epic fail with the '60 BOL GE washer, I guess!

I'm curious Paul, I can't remember the mechanical failure/challenge on your adorable '60 BOL. Was it transmission or clutch related?

My '58 Washer has the best fabric softener dispenser of any vintage 1950's machine by far. Spins at 650rpm and has slightly larger usable capacity than most other machines from the late 50's. The only thing I would add to the 57-60 Solid Tub GE Filter-flo design is a spray rinse during the wash spin off. Overflow filtering of the solid tub GE's is excellent, IMO the best of any washer if you have pets.

A peek at my wonderful '58 Filter-flo-ing...

Hi Robert!  It was the transmission, alas.  I could get the washer to spin but not agitate; when I finally got the transmission out and opened up, there was not a drop of oil left in it.  It was a wonder it could still spin!

I'm still scared to tackle the '57 WA855 in case the transmission in that one is shot also...

It was probably just gummed up with dried oil/fine metal gear shavings. It would need to be turned upside down, filled and soaked overnight with a solvent (mineral spirits, acetone or xylene) and cleaned/re-oiled properly. There is a chance that the clutch spring at the bottom of the transmission broke and that is why it wouldn't agitate. It depends on whether you can turn the pulley in either direction or not.

ps, Only play with those solvents outside of the house, they are all somewhat dangerous. Mineral spirits is the safest but the least effective, in my opinion.

GE Agitation Speed: When did GE switch to the significantly more rapid agitation speed that I recall from their late 1960's washers? Until the direct drive Whirlpool/Kenmores came along, GE had the fastest opm I'd ever seen. I was watching the video of Robert's '58 above and kept waiting for it to kick up to high speed.

OPM increased with the arrival of the perforated tub and spiral Activator.
These solid tub machines had a deceptively larger tub than it looked because of the small diameter of the opening. Even the filter-pan makes it look small.

    2014 Honda Accord Review

    This car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
    2014 Honda Accord
    Hybrid versions join newly redesigned lineup.

    The Honda Accord is among the best of a crop of superb midsize cars. Accord comes in four-door sedan and two-door coupe versions and offers a wide variety of engine and transmission choices for different types of buyers and budgets.

    For 2014, an all-new Accord Hybrid sedan joins the line boasting an EPA-estimated 50 mpg City rating from a smooth, advanced two-motor gas-electric hybrid powertrain. Completely redesigned and re-engineered for the 2013 model year, the rest of the Accord lineup carries over unchanged.

    The 2014 Honda Accord comes standard with a 185-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. It's a smooth, enjoyable engine and, on Accord sedans, gets an EPA-estimated 27/36 mpg City/Highway with the CVT continuously variable transmission or 24/34 mpg with the 6-speed manual gearbox. The Accord Sport Sedan and Accord Coupe models get about a mile per gallon less in fuel economy.

    A 3.5-liter V6 engine is available that delivers 278 horsepower and an EPA-rated 21/34 mpg City/Highway with the 6-speed automatic transmission; V6-powered Accord Coupes rate 21/32 mpg with the automatic. The Accord V6 coupe is also available with a sporty 6-speed manual, which rates 18/28 mpg, much less than the four-cylinder.

    Two hybrid gas-electric Accord sedans are available: Accord Hybrid and Accord Plug-in Hybrid. Both are equipped with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, so you will never be left stranded due to lack of electric charge. Both recharge themselves when driving with the gas-powered engine.

    The Accord Hybrid seamlessly blends electric-only drive, gas-engine drive, and a combination of the two. The result is excellent fuel economy and smooth cruising. Accord Hybrid is EPA-rated at 50/45 mpg City/Highway; we got better than 50 mpg while driving normally. The Accord Hybrid cannot be plugged in: Simply fill it with gas like any other car and go about your life.

    The Accord Plug-in Hybrid, however, can be plugged in. This feature allows the owner to recharge the car overnight and drive to and from work without using a drop of gasoline, assuming you work within five miles of your home. A fully charged Accord Plug-in Hybrid offers an electric-only range of 13 miles. If you exceed that range the gasoline engine kicks in to prevent you from being stranded. The combined gas-electric range is 570 miles. Under normal driving, the Accord Plug-in Hybrid is EPA-rated at 47/46 mpg City/Highway. Using electric power, it's rated by the federal government at 115 MPGe, whatever that means. There are tax credits and rebates available from the federal government and some state governments, California among them. Also, some states issue stickers allowing electric cars and some hybrids to travel in HOV high-occupancy vehicle lanes.

    All Accord models have room for four adults, five in a pinch. Sedans have more backseat room than do the coupes. We find the cabin appealing, comfortable and convenient, and Accord offers the latest in telematics and electronic applications.

    On the road, the Accord is quiet and controlled, a blend of isolation from annoyances with responsive road manners. It isn't about being the fastest in a straight line or flattest around the corners but rather being well-rounded and doing everything better than average. Overall, it feels smooth and refined.

    The Accord sedan and coupe look good, their styling neither as dramatic as some nor as bland as others.

    The midsize segment is a large one with many viable competitors. Among them: Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Malibu, Nissan Altima, Mazda6, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Volkswagen Passat. Drivers who want more space, performance or features might also look to a Nissan Maxima or Toyota Avalon. Hyundai Genesis Coupe is an option. The choices in the family sedan segment are bigger and broader than ever and car buyers are the winners.

    The 2014 Accord sedan comes standard with a 185-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. A 6-speed manual gearbox is standard on Accord LX and EX; a CVT continuously variable transmission ($800) is available for LX, Sport, and EX models and comes standard on EX-L. A 278-hp 3.5-liter V6 is available only with higher trim levels and comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Accord Coupe LX-S, EX, and EX-L use the 2.4-liter with 6-speed manual or CVT. Accord Coupe EX-L V6 comes with a choice of 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual. (All prices are Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices and do not include $790 destination charge.)

    Accord LX sedan ($21,955) is equipped with the 185-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox or CVT continuously variable transmission ($22,755). Accord LX comes with cloth upholstery, dual-temperature climate control, power mirrors/windows/locks, rearview camera, Bluetooth hands-free, USB port, split-element driver-side mirror, 8-inch display, Pandora, SMS text messaging, automatic headlamps, cruise control, active noise cancellation, variable intermittent wipers, folding rear seat, AM/FM/CD/aux 160-watt stereo with speed-sensitive volume and 16-inch alloy wheels.

    Accord Coupe LX-S ($23,625) is equipped similarly to the LX sedan but adds rear spoiler, 17-inch alloy wheels, and shift paddles for the available CVT ($24,475).

    Accord Sport sedan ($23,715) comes with 6-speed manual transmission or CVT ($24,515). Accord Sport sedan also upgrades to 18-inch alloy wheels, dual exhaust outlets (boosting power to 189 hp), fog lights, rear spoiler, leather-wrapped steering wheel, 10-way power driver seat and shift paddles for the CVT.

    Accord EX sedan ($24,880) upgrades with moonroof, LaneWatch, power driver seat, keyless entry/pushbutton start, heated side mirrors with signal repeaters and 17-inch alloy wheels. Accord EX sedan is available with the 6-speed manual or the CVT ($25,680). Accord EX coupe is equipped similarly but adds touch-screen audio and fog lights to LX-S coupe. Accord EX coupe offers 6-speed manual ($25,300) or CVT ($26,150).

    Accord EX-L sedan ($28,270) comes standard with the CVT and upgrades from EX with leather upholstery, lane departure and forward collision warnings, driver memory system, touch-screen audio, HondaLink/Aha telematics, 360-watt 7-speaker stereo, XM radio, auto-dimming inside mirror, LED tail lights, multi-angle rearview camera and heated front seats. Navigation is available and offered as a separate model ($30,045). Accord EX-L coupe ($28,345) adds LaneWatch plus most EX-L sedan upgrades and comes with the CVT; navigation is available ($30,120)

    Accord EX-L V-6 sedan ($30,345) uses the 278-hp V6 engine and 6-speed automatic and adds LED daytime running lights, power passenger seat, HomeLink, and dual exhaust. Navigation is available ($32,120). Accord EX-L V-6 Coupe ($30,625) adds 18-inch alloy wheels, driver seat memory system, LED daytime running lights, HomeLink, and dual exhaust; EX-L V6 Coupe offers a choice of 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic for the same price. Accord EX-L V-6 Coupe Navi ($32,400) offers both transmissions as well.

    Accord Touring V-6 sedan ($33,480) adds LED headlights, adaptive cruise control and navigation.

    Accord Hybrid ($29,155), Hybrid EX-L ($31,905), and Hybrid Touring ($34,905) feature the gasoline-electric two-motor hybrid system.

    Accord Plug-in Hybrid ($39,780) is only available in California and New York, comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine, 124-kW two-motor hybrid system and 6.7-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. It's equipped like a Touring sedan, except the seats are environmentally friendly cloth rather than leather and interior color is gray.

    Safety equipment that comes standard on all models includes two-stage front airbags, dual-chamber front side airbags, side curtain airbags, active front head restraints, electronic stability control, antilock brakes, rearview camera, tire pressure monitors, and daytime running lights. LaneWatch, forward collision warning and lane departure warning are optional.

    The Honda Accord sedans and coupes look fresh, having been completely redesigned for the 2013 model year. This ninth-generation Accord blends curves, creases and angles, now in a more cohesive shape; it's incrementally lower, wider and three inches shorter than pre-2013 models. There are no changes for 2014.

    Honda has always favored slender pillars, lots of glass and a low hoodline for good visibility, and amongst the growing trend to make four-door sedans resemble coupes this generous window area is refreshing. Where the window line on many cars extends from the top of the hood to the top of the trunk, the Accord's runs more from the headlight cut-line to the top of the tail lights. This yields not only a credible sedan profile but also adds to the airy cabin spaciousness and proper rear-seat headroom. From overhead the center section is mildly barrel-shaped, the widest point where front and rear doors meet appearing pointed relative the smooth lines of the roof above it.

    There's a mild forward tilt to the profile, enhanced by the scalloped front door panels and raked headlight housings. Viewed from behind, the front wheel opening is inset above the sill and shows some tire, an image we associate more with sports cars than family sedans.

    Rear doors on Accord sedans look like long-wheelbase versions of some sedans, with an almost flat section at the top and opening that runs straight from the door sill to the window kink popularized by BMW and Hofmeister half a century ago.

    The coupe is nicely proportioned and, like the sedan, uses a higher than average roofline over the back seat for better-than-normal rear-seat room. Unlike the sedan the tail lights do not extend into the trunk lid, and the chrome lower molding is much wider. Also unlike the sedan, the rear reflectors on the coupe are vertically oriented and the tail pipes are semi-inset in a deeper bumper; you actually see fewer mechanical parts from behind the coupe than from behind the sedan.

    Up front the dual-bar horizontal grille is all Honda, with a more stylish lower half. A more attractive honeycomb lower grille and chrome strip at the bottom edge are handsome without being edgy. Coupes get a more pronounced center section, honeycomb grilles top and bottom, and round fog lights in square openings for more attitude; it's the same width as the sedan, just an inch lower. On V6 models the daytime running lights are LED, and the Touring sedan uses LED for low-beam headlights as well.

    The hybrid models have unique front styling. The headlight housings and upper grille get blue accents, the hood, bumper and fog light apertures are different, and a black bar bisects the big single grille opening as on many Audis. To our eyes all the black trim is a bit much on anything other than a black car, though only three colors are offered. The wheels are also gloss-black, with forward-climbing metal spokes, a sinister look more rapper than tree-hugger. A very obvious blue-ringed, Hybrid-badged charging port in the left-front fender is at odds with the square fuel door at the back; we prefer the Chevrolet Volt's approach of one discrete opening on each side.

    At the rear, a chrome strip across the trunk and clear backup/signal lenses separate trunk lid and rear window from the back of the car, the end result reminiscent of a Hyundai Genesis. A small lip spoiler adorns the rear deck of Accord hybrid and Sport versions and can be added to others. Sport and V6 models get dual exhaust outlets. All have a chrome bottom strip to complement the front, and the rear quarters are reasonably square even if you can't see the edges from the driver's seat. On Accord EX-L and higher trims, the brake- and taillights are LED.

    On models with the Lane Watch function, the passenger-side mirror is deeper than the driver's to accommodate a small camera, lending a small imbalance viewed from a distance. (Cars from Mercedes and other manufacturers have done this in the past, also.) We like symmetry on sedans and would prefer the same mirrors, but it's a small thing.

    All Accords have alloy wheels of 16 to 18 inches in diameter. Most handsome are the 18s used on some coupes and the Sport sedan, and just the wheel upgrade, small rear spoiler and dual exhaust outlets make the car more attractive to our eyes.

    The cabin in the Honda Accord is comfortable, functional, and attractive, and the model line offers plenty of variations in price and features.

    Front seats proved comfortable and supportive, not at all flat and spongy; adjustability degrees vary by manual or power, driver or passenger. With a tilt/telescoping steering wheel anyone should find a good driving position. There is plenty of room. Some slender types wished the door wasn't so far away though few will complain about reaching the seat adjusters with the door closed. Footwells are wide and headroom is fine, even with a sunroof. The only complaint came from a tall rider who found thigh support lacking because the cushion wasn't far from the floor and the passenger's footwall seems closer than the driver's.

    We put a pair of 6-footers in the back seat and there were no complaints, even though with a moonroof, which reduces headroom slightly. There are AC vents in the center console (EX or better), assist handles and a fold-down armrest. With the small floor hump, minimal headrest lift and higher seat cushion, the center position is best for child seats. We did not see any rear-seat reading lights or a trunk pass-through, and the seatback folds only as one piece, not split 1/3-2/3 as in some cars.

    Assembly quality appears good. We have seen no sharp edges on plastic moldings around door pockets or seat tracks, no flimsy hardware. High-gloss woodgrain trim has been replaced by matte finishes, gathered leather by tauter perforated upholstery. The upper door panels are soft-touch only on the back half, which visually splits the upper in two and some may construe as cost-cutting. Sport and EX-L cars get a leather-wrapped version of the nicely dimensioned three-spoke steering wheel, with shift buttons on Sport CVT. Dash trim may be a vertically oriented dark woodgrain, metallic mesh, or a sparkly black, but all have a big chrome ring around the cupholder.

    A single-piece dashboard is dominated by a speedometer so large that other motorists may be able to read it. The speedometer is flanked by a partial corona that changes color to green the more economically you drive, giving a Christmas-light effect against the red gauge markings on Sport and Coupe. We could not figure out how to turn it off, even if ECON mode was not engaged.

    Hybrid versions get a unique instrument panel. Surrounding the corona-ring big speedometer are bar-graph indications for fuel and battery charge level, and the power/recharge scale. The display in the center offers powertrain modes, economy guide that moves a car within a circle for better or worse fuel efficiency, the requisite green leaves, turn-by-turn navigation, active cruise control and so on.

    Engine revs, temperature and fuel level flank the speedo; the digital center gives instant fuel economy, trip odo, exterior temperature, gear and so on. Stalk controls are simple, the interval wiper industry-best, and the steering wheel switches quick to master. A few switches such as the ECON button, traction-off and lane-departure warning are less convenient left of the wheel, and do-it-yourselfers and tire technicians will appreciate the tire-warning reset switch on the dash.

    All Accords have a central dash screen that displays an image from the rearview camera. Without navigation, the audio and information controls are just below that screen between two. The dual-temperature climate controls are grouped below that. On cars with navigation the area beneath the screen becomes touch-screen audio with a volume knob, while the nav/phone/info controls move below climate control, replacing a storage bin on lesser cars. Although further from the screen, those controls are closer to shifter and the whole arrangement is far superior to the mishmash on the previous-generation, 2008-2012 models.

    Cabin storage is good, with bins in the console, all doors, and a decent glovebox.

    The trunk offers 15.8 cubic feet of space, which is competitive for the class. Under the trunk floor, there is a temporary spare tire but room for the flat you take off. There are grocery bag hooks in the rear corners. A pull-lever in the trunk releases the rear seat back for large, awkward items, but the opening is small by class standards.

    Driving Impression
    All Accords deliver a comfortable ride and a reassuring confidence they can handle any situation. This latest-generation Accord feels more refined than pre-2013 models.

    The standard four-cylinder engine was new for 2013, and features direct injection for efficiency and power. The Honda engine idles smoother than many big fours. It doesn't encourage winding it to redline but you don't need to. The 2.4-liter four-cylinder delivers 185 horsepower. Accord Sport gets 4 hp and 1 lb-ft more torque because of dual tailpipes; we could hear more difference than we could feel. The Sport also adds shift paddles to the steering wheel, like some Coupes, on the CVT version. The 2.4-liter four-cylinder with CVT is EPA-rated at 27/36 mpg or 24/34 mpg City/Highway with the 6-speed manual transmission.

    The manual gearbox is easy to use, with shifter and clutch action that have Honda's characteristic light, crisp action.

    The CVT provide shorter ratios for acceleration and taller ratios for highway cruising. By using only what engine power is needed to move the car and not climb through gears, the CVT improves fuel economy and makes less noise. If you use the shifter's S position rather than D it revs higher sooner for better motivation, and slows better on long grades or braking for a corner. As there are no separate gears, there are no 1, 2, or OD-off settings.

    Fuel economy for the 3.5-liter V6 is an EPA-estimated 21/34 mpg with 6-speed automatic or 18/28 mpg with 6-speed manual. Regular gasoline is recommended for all models. The Accord V6 Combined city/highway fuel economy rating of 25 mpg matches or betters V6 competitors.

    The 6-speed automatic has only Drive and Sport positions for forward motion. Drive works as normal; Sport upshifts later and downshifts for grades or braking, but it takes a while to learn exactly when it will downshift without surprising you.

    A V6 6-speed manual is offered only on the Coupe, and mileage doesn't match the sedan because that engine does not use Variable Cylinder Management. VCM switches off the front half of the V6 engine when little power is needed, the V6 sedan often cruising level ground with economy like a 1.75-liter three-cylinder but without the vibration or roughness. Manual-gearbox V6s are a favorite of Accord speed-freaks but their rarity caused the last generation to occasionally garner a premium price at dealers who had them.

    The sleek profile of the Accord Coupe means a bit less rear-seat room and less-convenient access.

    Meanwhile, active noise cancellation works like your noise canceling headphones to minimize annoying mechanical racket and it is standard on all Accords. Also contributing to reduced noise and vibration is electric-assist steering. This has light effort but doesn't feel artificially light nor elastic or floaty as some on long sweeping bends. Response to the helm is quick, and it's not rubbery just off center when you begin to turn or make minor corrections.

    The Accord Sport model features firmer shock, spring and antiroll bar rates but these are subtle changes and not big whacks. Steering effort is higher than with the other models, a combination of the fatter 235/45R18 tires and tuning of the power assist, and it needs another 1.5 feet of space for a U-turn. There's no detriment in ride comfort. We're not sure we would opt for the Sport, though we admit the other Honda in our garage would be an S2000 sports car rather than a Pilot or Odyssey. In fact, while the V6 manual coupe is clearly the fastest Accord, an Accord Sport sedan's lighter front end and slightly better balance might be our choice for a 70-mph world.

    In back-to-back drives in Accord, Camry, Sonata and Altima four-cylinder models, the Accord felt the most refined. It didn't feel as light and lively as the Altima but rode better, especially on rough roads. A Camry V6 felt just as quick as an EX-L V6 but didn't have some of the Honda's feature set.

    Hybrid models offer a range of 673 miles. Extended driving in several Accord Hybrid sedans revealed them to be smooth, quiet and sophisticated. The suspension is relatively taut, firm enough to slosh a cappuccino and make handwriting difficult. It is perhaps too firm for some but right for others. The payoff is crisp handling, which it delivers. The gasoline engine and the electric motors kick in and out so seamlessly that it's difficult for the driver to detect and passengers will be oblivious. They will just think it's a smooth sedan. We were told that when starting the Accord Hybrid it can be helpful to rev the engine a few times to charge the battery a bit, which results in better fuel economy. Using the B-mode one the shifter changes the driving character a bit, handy on winding roads because it engages the regenerative braking more and slows the car on downhills when you take your foot off the accelerator. Regenerative braking is a strategy that uses braking energy to charge the battery. Because the Hybrid sounds different from a gas-powered car, acceleration performance feels slower than it actually is. Overall, the Accord Hybrid is a very enjoyable car to drive and would be easy to live with.

    Brief drives in the PHEV plug-in Hybrid delivered 105 mpg (according to the trip computer) over an 11-mile loop, with no attempt at hyper-miling and got going effortlessly. The PHEV will operate as a pure electric, as a gas-electric hybrid, or with the gas engine connected directly to the drive wheels. Honda's early estimate put electric-only range at 10-15 miles, with another 8 miles available after 30 minutes on a 240-volt charger. The transitions between alternate propulsion modes were quite smooth, especially given the car is still in development, and brake feel allows smooth stops.

    Outward visibility is very good. Slim pillars at the windshield and between the doors block little of the view; they do not hide an entire car adjacent or oncoming like some GM sedans. The articulated rearview mirror mount and tall windshield means no ducking to see overhead lights or working around the mirror for uphill right turns like interstate on-ramps. Only Subaru and VW come to mind as equally easy to see out of. On higher-trim Accords the rearview camera becomes multi-angle and all left-side mirrors have a wide-angle element.

    The LaneWatch feature shows a camera image of the lanes to the right in the center dash. It can be set to on, off, or on with the right signal. With the signal is most sensible (if you use them) but note if the control beep is enabled it beeps each time the signal/image goes on and off, and sitting at a traffic light with the signal on ties the screen up at a good time to be fiddling with things while you're not moving.

    Road noise is well controlled, and we tried both 17- and 18-inch wheels on some poor road surfaces. Engine noise is muted until you go to maximum acceleration, wherein a pleasing mechanical growl enters the cabin. We did notice wind noise at highway speeds, primarily around the pillar between front and rear doors.

    The Honda Accord is smooth, easy to operate and enjoyable to drive. All get excellent fuel economy, some better than others yet performance is responsive. We found all powertrain combinations enjoyable, so choosing among them is a matter of preference and priorities. The cabin is comfortable and the trunk is capacious. Options for entertainment and telematics, trim and interior mean there is an Accord for everyone. The coupe is nice, but the sedan is what makes the Accord great. The Accord is arguably the best midsize car available.

    G.R. Whale filed this report after his test drive of the Accord models in Southern California; with NewCarTestDrive.com editor Mitch McCullough reporting on the Accord Hybrid from San Antonio.

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. This exemplary novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession,” it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.
The Great Gatsby is one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature.

Here is an essay I wrote for an English class in college. It basically explains how I saw Gatsby and Daisy and why their relationship would not have worked. The assignment limited me to chapter 3, but obviously I had to use more than just that. (I did get points taken off for it, but I wouldn’t have done it any differently. I couldn’t just leave out important facts, just because they weren’t in chapter 3. It isn’t even the best chapter for close reading anyway, right? One of the later chapters would have been better.)

In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the character of Jay Gatsby is more of an idea than a man. He is a larger-than-life character, surrounded by an air of mystery and grandeur, and seems to live in a different world from the rest of the characters. Chapter Three reveals many examples of this and provides some insight on why his story plays out the way it does. Gatsby’s downfall, stemming from his failure with Daisy and ending in his death, is ultimately because he and Daisy are living in two different worlds. She lives in the present—reality—while he lives in the past.

Because of Gatsby’s obsession with the past, he feels the need to have complete control in his life in order to repeat the past as best he can. He builds up a sort of fake life, all for her. At first he amasses wealth and easily adapts to the rich lifestyle because that’s what he has always dreamed of, but when he meets Daisy, she becomes his new dream, and he builds his life around the possibility of her. Everything matters less to him, and he cares only what she might think of it. This is obvious in the fact that he has such extravagant parties only in the hope that she might show up one day, and also because Nick later notes that when she first sees his house, he seems to reevaluate everything based on how she feels about it. It is also noted that his room is the least extravagant in the house, despite it being such a personal room to him. The rest is all for show. He also cannot be fully present, even at his own parties. In this chapter, Nick notices that he doesn’t drink, and this helps “set him off from his guests” (50). He doesn’t care to introduce himself to them, and as a result, rumours fly around like crazy. No one is certain who he is or what he does. Nick also notes that he doesn’t have a girl swooning onto his shoulder. (Not that he would take anyone but Daisy.) In fact, it seems that he doesn’t form friendships or attachments to people outside of business at all. This is with the exception of Nick and Jordan, whom he only gets to know because they are his connections to Daisy. He is always sort of distant, only focused on his goal of attracting Daisy’s attention, and this contributes to his faint, almost innocent condescension toward others. This is further supported by his catchphrase, “old sport,” which Tom later calls him out on. Of course Tom notices; he is often described as having “paternal contempt” (7) himself. In fact, this they have in common, along with a larger issue: They both feel like they need to have control, especially of Daisy.

Gatsby’s reputation and wealth allow him this control over a lot of aspects of his life. But Daisy falls outside his control because she lives in a different world entirely. Essentially, she sees him like the guests of his parties do (even though she has never one of them)—not as an equal, but as a mystery. Just as Owl Eyes is amazed that the books in the library are real (45), when Daisy reunites with Gatsby, she has a hard time equating this larger-than-life figure with the very real man she once knew. She is in awe of his house, but doesn’t seem to immediately fall in love with it. In fact it makes her sad, but not out of envy—perhaps she is overwhelmed by the idea of Gatsby, who is such a grand figure (as well as a ghost of the past) to take in all at once. It doesn’t help that she doesn’t have his level of ambition or appreciation for grandeur; for example, her house is not nearly as excessive although it is quite beautiful. But the main problem is that Gatsby is a dream to her, just as she was a dream to him, but she lives in reality. She isn’t going to just leave her marriage and child on a whim. He can only live in the past. He assumes she’ll just drop everything and everything will be as if he had never left. His only goal is to repeat the past, as he says to Nick the night that Tom and Daisy attend one of his parties. Ultimately, he pushes her too far and too fast. He doesn’t really think of her situation and how she might feel—only that he is making his dream come true after all these years. She must feel the same. It must work out exactly how he has always imagined it and he simply can’t comprehend it when it doesn’t. (This also shows his persistent need for control.) He puts words in her mouth and doesn’t let her speak for herself at the final confrontation. So it turns into an argument between Tom and Gatsby, and Tom is able to successfully turn her away from Gatsby. Everything comes crashing down around him.

Another major theme in this book that is revealed in Chapter Three is honesty. Nick considers himself to be honest, referring to it as his “cardinal virtue” (59). However, he accepts dishonesty in others as a matter of course. He especially accepts it in women, because women’s dishonesty is “a thing you never blame deeply” (58). This is why he can have so much affection for Jordan, whom he calls “incurably dishonest” (58). Other examples of dishonesty are the affairs. Tom isn’t honest with Daisy about his affair with Myrtle, even though it’s really obvious and he doesn’t try very hard to hide it. Daisy and Gatsby don’t tell Tom about their affair until Tom figures it out. The rumours surrounding Gatsby hint at some dishonesty, but Nick makes a particular point to say that he sees “nothing sinister about him” (50). This could of course just be Nick’s bias; he seems infatuated with Gatsby throughout much of the book. The way he describes Gatsby’s smiles—especially in this chapter—is almost romantic. But while Gatsby may be honest about most things, the problems arise when he asks Daisy to be dishonest. He asks her to say that she never loved Tom, and can’t accept the fact that it might not be true. This is one of the deciding factors in their separation. Gatsby wants too much.

There were many things that resulted in Gatsby’s untimely demise and failure to recreate the past. Some of it was unfortunate circumstance. Some of it was directly Gatsby’s fault. But the characters of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan were simply too different to have a happy ending together, like Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler from Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind. They lived in different worlds, and Gatsby’s inability to believe that Daisy wasn’t made just for him and her refusal to drop everything and be his once more resulted in the tragedy we know today as The Great Gatsby.

Potomac Horse Fever: A Serious Seasonal Threat

Potomac horse fever is a serious, potentially fatal disease caused by a bacteria called Neorickettsia risticii. First described in 1979 in Maryland near the Potomac River, the disease has since spread to numerous locations in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Potomac horse fever is a seasonal disease, usually occurring between late spring and fall. This disease is one that needs to be recognized early and treated swiftly to avoid dire consequences, so knowing what you’re looking for is of utmost importance.

Etiology and Pathogenesis

Neorickettsia risticii (formerly Ehrlichia risticii) is a gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium with an affinity for monocytes, meaning it must live within the cell. Unlike Anaplasma phagocytophilium, a bacterium that causes similar, milder clinical signs, N. risticii cannot be visibly seen within monocytes on a blood smear.

N. risticii is transmitted to horses by freshwater snails, trematodes (flukes) carried by snails, and aquatic insects such as caddisflies, mayflies, damselflies, dragonflies, and stoneflies. Infection usually occurs when a horse accidentally ingests an infected insect or snail in their grass or water.

The incubation period is approximately 10 to 18 days after infection. Although the organism can be isolated from the feces, clinically ill horses are not contagious and can be housed with healthy, non-infected horses. The disease is not considered zoonotic, which means it cannot be passed from horses to humans.

Clinical Findings

Clinical signs of Potomac horse fever can vary, but they generally start with mild depression and anorexia (not eating), followed by a fever ranging from 102-107 degrees Fahrenheit. Diarrhea can occur, but it develops in only about 60% of cases. Affected horses may show signs of mild colic or more severe signs such as sepsis and dehydration. Laminitis can occur as a complication of Potomac horse fever in 30% of affected horses. These clinical signs are indistinguishable from other causes of enterocolitis such as Salmonella or C. difficile infection.

Abortions can occur in mares that are infected with the disease while pregnant. If infected in early to mid-gestation, mares tend to abort approximately 2 1/2 to 3 months following clinical signs. The abortion is generally accompanied by placentitis and retained fetal membranes (the placenta/fetal membranes are considered retained if not completely passed within 3 hours of birth or abortion), which can lead to serious complications such as sepsis and laminitis if not treated quickly.

Bloodwork in infected horses in the early stages generally shows low white blood cells (leukopenia) with low neutrophils and lymphocytes (neutropenia and lymphopenia) and low platelets (thrombocytopenia), but bloodwork can also appear normal. Several days after onset, there can be a rebounding, marked increase in white blood cells (leukocytosis). Other abnormalities that can be seen with Potomac horse fever include decreased electrolytes, decreased protein levels, and increased packed cell volume.

A presumptive diagnosis of Potomac horse fever can be made based on the presence of the described clinical signs, the season, geographic location, vaccination history, and CBC/serum chemistry results. A definitive diagnosis is made by isolating the N. risticii organism using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) testing can be done to measure the horse’s antibody titer to Potomac horse fever, but this must be interpreted carefully as some horses have not seroconverted at the time the sample is taken, or horses that live in endemic areas can maintain high titers without clinical disease.

Depending on the severity of the horse’s symptoms, the horse can be treated on the farm or may require hospitalization. Antibiotic therapy with oxytetracycline is the most common treatment and is usually started as soon as Potomac horse fever is suspected. Other treatments that may be necessary include anti-inflammatory medications such as Banamine®, IV fluids, electrolytes, and specific laminitis treatment/prevention.

The response to antibiotic therapy can be very dramatic and is considered diagnostic if the attitude and fever of the patient improve within 24-48 hours. Treatment is generally continued for 3 to 7 days, and the normal recovery time is approximately one week with no other complications. If not treated quickly, horses can decompensate rapidly and develop fatal complications from the disease.

Luckily, Potomac horse fever is not passed from horse-to-horse contact. There are vaccines available, one of which -- POTOMAVAC + IMRAB® -- is combined with a rabies vaccine. The efficacy of preventing all Potomac horse fever disease is questionable, due to decreased response of some horses to the vaccine, lack of antibody protection at the site of exposure (since the disease is transmitted by oral ingestion of the organism), and multiple (greater than 14!) different strains of N. risticii in the environment. Even though complete protection may not be achieved, vaccination is still recommended, especially in areas where the disease is known to exist, due to its ability to lessen the severity of the disease’s symptoms. Reducing potential insect ingestion by turning off barn lights at night, which can attract the insects and allow them to drop into feed or water buckets, is also recommended.

Recommended Vaccination Schedules

Adult horses that have been previously vaccinated: Vaccinate every 6 to 12 months. A 6-month vaccination interval is recommended for horses in areas known to contain the disease.

Adult horses previously unvaccinated or with an unknown vaccine history: Vaccinate with a primary series of two doses, 3 to 4 weeks apart, then vaccinate every 6 to 12 months.

Pregnant mares that have been previously vaccinated: Vaccinate every 6 to 12 months. Be sure to schedule one dose to be given as a pre-foaling vaccination 4 to 6 weeks before foaling. No studies have been published to examine the efficacy of the Potomac horse fever vaccine to prevent abortion due to N. risticii.

Pregnant mares previously unvaccinated or with an unknown vaccine history: Vaccinate with a primary series of two doses, 3 to 4 weeks apart. Schedule it so that the second dose is given 4 to 6 weeks prior to foaling, then continue to vaccinate every 6 to 12 months.

Foals: Due to maternal antibody interference and a low risk of disease, vaccination is recommended to begin after 5 months of age. Vaccinate with a primary series of two doses, 3 to 4 weeks apart. In high-risk areas, a third dose is recommended at 12 months of age. Then continue to vaccinate every 6 to 12 months.

Horses with a natural infection that have recovered: Administer a two-dose primary series, 3 to 4 months apart, or a booster (if previously vaccinated) 12 months following recovery from the disease.

Cameroon's Eric Lembembe: Gay rights activist 'murdered'

Men holding hands
Image caption Homosexual acts are banned in many African countries

Prominent Cameroonian gay rights activist and journalist Eric Lembembe has been killed in the capital, Yaounde, a rights group says.

Mr Lembembe's neck and feet appeared to have been broken and his face, hands, and feet burned with an iron, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said.

The cause of the killing is not known, but Mr Lembembe is the latest activist to be targeted in Cameroon, it added.

Homosexual acts are illegal in socially conservative Cameroon.

'Death threats'

"The police should not rest until the perpetrators of this horrific crime are brought to justice. President Biya should break his silence on the wave of homophobic violence in Cameroon and publicly condemn this brutal attack," said HRW researcher Neela Ghoshal in a statement.

Mr Lembembe, the executive director of the Cameroonian Foundation for Aids, was a courageous activist who campaigned for equal rights, despite severe discrimination and violence, HRW said.

His friends discovered his body at his home in Yaounde on Monday, after being unable to reach him by phone for two days, it said.

HRW said that in other suspected homophobic attacks:

  • the headquarters of Alternatives-Cameroun, a non-governmental organisation which provides HIV services, was burned down on 26 June in the commercial capital, Douala
  • the Yaounde office of human rights lawyer Michel Togue, who represents clients charged with same-sex conduct, was burgled and his legal files and laptop stolen
  • Mr Togue and Alice Nkom, another lawyer who represents gay and lesbian people, have received repeated death threats by email and SMS, including threats to kill their children.

Cameroonian police have not apprehended a single suspect, although activists have reported all the incidents, HRW said.

In December, a Cameroon appeals court upheld the sentencing to 36 months in prison of Roger Jean-Claude Mbede under anti-gay legislation.

His lawyer said he was sentenced simply for sending a text to someone to say he loved him.

In January, the appeals court overturned the conviction of two men jailed in 2011 for homosexual acts.
