Toyota to recall Lexus SUVs to fix floor mat

CNBC's Phil LeBeau has the latest details on Toyota's recall.

By Paul A. Eisenstein, The Detroit Bureau

Having hoped to put its embarrassing unintended acceleration scandal behind it, Lexus is now recalling two more models due to the possibility loose floor mats could cause accelerator pedals to jam, leading the vehicles to surge out of control.

The two models covered by the latest recall are the Lexus RX 350 and RX 450h hybrid, with a total of nearly 134,000 vehicles involved.? The new service actions are relatively modest when compared to the millions of vehicles covered by earlier sudden acceleration problems, but the latest recall puts Toyota back into the spotlight after having spent the last several years trying to rebuild its reputation for high quality and reliability.

?It was just beginning to fade from people?s memories,? said analyst Rebecca Lindland, of IHS Automotive.? ?This is like scratching an old wound.?

Honda Polishes its Environmental Credentials

Arguably the worst public relations crisis in Toyota Motor Co. history began in mid-2009 when a California Highway Patrol officer and several family members were killed when a Lexus they had borrowed surged out of control, plunging off a highway and bursting into flames.

While Toyota had been facing accusations of unintended acceleration for some time the event led the automaker to order the recall of 3.8 million Lexus and Toyota brand vehicles because loose mats could catch under the accelerator pedal.? Two months later it added a second callback, this one involving millions more vehicles equipped with potentially sticky accelerator assemblies.?

Then, in early 2010, Toyota announced it would temporary halt production of some of its most popular vehicles to replace the accelerator units. ?

Toyota, BMW Expand Their Alliance

Further complicating matters, the maker was slammed by a series of unrelated problems, from steering issues with the Corolla or minivans that were experiencing severe corrosion problems.? In all, Toyota was forced to recall more than 10 million vehicles ? a company that was long known for bulletproof reliability ended the year with more recalls than any other manufacturer in the business.

Critics contended that the two recalls did not address all the problems allegedly causing Toyota products to race out of control.? That possibility was raised during angry hearings on Capitol Hill in which Toyota President Akio Toyoda came under severe criticism.

Federal safety regulators also were targeted for allegedly going soft on the maker, secret documents suggesting Toyota had found ways to get the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to back down on one earlier safety problem, saving the company millions of dollars.

Shift to City Living Threatens Auto Industry

The government empowered two separate independent studies, one run by NASA, the other by the National Science Academy, looking into the possibility of unknown gremlins that might be causing Toyota?s electronic engine controllers to malfunction.? Both studies cleared the maker ? driver error taking the bulk of the blame.?

But investigators also suggested it was possible that they simply hadn?t been able to isolate random electronic issues.? That claim has been the centerpiece of extensive legal action aimed at Toyota by those claiming to have experienced unintended acceleration.

The latest recall harkens back to the very first Toyota ordered to deal with the ?UA? issue, potential carpet entrapment forcing it to order repairs on 131,800 2010-model RX 350 crossovers and another 22,200 RX 450 hybrids.

?It will be interesting to see if that affects efforts to settle the ongoing legal problems,? said analyst Lindland.

Owners of the involved vehicles will receive a safety recall notification by first class mail in early August 2012. ?Lexus dealers will remedy the involved vehicles at no cost to the customers.

7 Florida deaths blamed on Debby

LIVE OAK, Fla. -

Florida officials said Thursday that Tropical Storm Debby was responsible for seven deaths in the state.

State emergency operations spokeswoman Jessica Sims said that two people died in Pinellas County, including a 41-year-old woman caught in a riptide Wednesday at St. Pete Beach.

Storm-related deaths were also reported in Highlands -- where a woman was killed by a tornado on Sunday while clutching her baby girl, who survived -- as well as in Pasco, Polk, Lake and Madison counties. Last weekend, a South Carolina man also disappeared in the rough surf off the Gulf coast of Alabama.

Debby hovered in the Gulf of Mexico for days before slowly blowing across northern Florida this week and dumping more than two feet of water in some parts.

On Thursday, Gov. Rick Scott traveled to some of the hardest-hit areas in Florida to survey flood damages along with disaster chief Bryan Koon and Florida National Guard Adjutant General Emmett Titshaw.

Suwannee County Sheriff Tony Cameron remembered well the last time he saw so much flooding in Live Oak and surrounding areas. He was an 11-year-old boy in Live Oak when Hurricane Dora flooded the small, north-central Florida county seat in 1964. He helped his grandfather then; this time, he doubled up as the county's emergency operations chief.

"The problem we have right now is sink holes, that's our number one problem at this time," Cameron said Thursday afternoon as he waited for a visit from Scott. "We've got a lot of roads that are still under water. There are probably 300 cars scattered around the county sitting under water."

Cameron's deputies and emergency workers had help from members of the Florida National Guard. He said about 85 people were still in shelters Thursday at the Suwannee County Agriculture Coliseum.

"My grandfather and I pumped water out of the city of Live Oak for six weeks," Cameron recalled. "We had brought all of our irrigation motors from our farm and pumped water."

Scott, whose scheduled arrival in Live Oak was delayed by a couple of hours by a lengthy Clemency Board meeting at the Capitol, told officials and some victims that he empathized with them.

"I grew up in the Midwest and the Missouri River used to flood," said Scott, who was raised in Kansas City. "You think about it as you go down and see the families who are devastated when their houses are under water. "

Scott noted that the Suwannee River has yet to crest.

"There's more to come," he said.

Scott and Koon spent more than an hour at the county's emergency operations center getting briefed on Live Oak's worst flooding since Dora before heading south to survey storm damage in Pasco County, just north of Tampa.

About 1,000 people In Pasco County remained without power Thursday. Seventy-three people and 15 pets were housed in two shelters in that county. One mobile home park that houses retirees in New Port Richey is still inundated with water; most year-round residents have evacuated.

In Hernando County, Fla., which received more than 15 inches of record-setting rain, dozens of sinkholes have opened up because of the enormous amount of water seeping into the ground.

Thursday morning, lifeguards on Clearwater Beach helped three people from the water who got caught in a rip current. On Wednesday, eight people were pulled from rip currents on St. Pete Beach, including the woman who died.

Authorities on Wednesday confirmed that a 71-year-old man was found dead in flood waters outside of his Indian Rocks Beach home after suffering a heart attack.

Air Force says 31 victims so far in sex scandal

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A senior Air Force commander says 31 female victims have been identified so far in a widening sex scandal that has rocked the service's training command at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas.

Gen. Edward Rice, commander of the Air Education and Training Command, tells Pentagon reporters that a dozen male instructors are under investigation, and that nine of them are from the same unit ? the 331st Training Squadron.

Rice says the Air Force believes this is not a problem endemic to the nine training squadrons, and that it appears to be localized. He says the sexual misconduct occurred over the past two and one-half years, but the first woman came forward only a year ago.

The Air Force has launched an independent investigation across all training units.

BlueStacks Android Player comes to Mac in a ?marriage? of convenience

Conferences are funny things: you can stumble onto the most earnest product launch or, in my case yesterday, the strangest of faux marriages, all in the name of brand recognition. Across the street from Moscone West in San Francisco was a tent erected in white ? a tasteful, elegant white sheet ? that advertised the ?marriage? of Android and Mac. Curious, I ambled into the event, was served champagne and?hors d?oeuvres and witnessed a wedding ceremony between a woman (Mac) and a Droid. It was pretty amazing (and that photo above is real).

All this was to promote BlueStacks Android Player for Mac. It?s essentially the same software as on the PC (which is now Windows 8-c0mpatible), but it works on OS X. While still in Alpha and limited to only 17 Android apps, BlueStacks wants Mac users to try out the software to get a sense for the performance and compatibility. Current apps available include Words With Friends, Pulse Reader, Twitter and Facebook.

If you want to try out Android virtualization on your OS X machine, head on over to BlueStacks to try out the alpha.

How to bend it like Beckham: Physics students calculate perfect soccer ball kicking formula

ScienceDaily (June 29, 2012) ? Now that David Beckham won't be appearing at the London 2012 Olympics, other members of Team GB wanting to brush up on their free-kicks can rest easy.

University of Leicester physics students have published a paper which sets out the optimum way of kicking a football (soccer ball) in order to make it bend into the goal.

The ex-England captain's curling free-kicks became legendary, and even inspired the title of the 2002 film Bend It Like Beckham.

Now, four master's students at the University of Leicester's Department of Physics and Astronomy believe they have discovered a formula to explain how the football curves when a player puts spin on it.

Jasmine Sandhu, Amy Edgington, Matthew Grant and Naomi Rowe-Gurney found a relationship between the amount a football bends in the air, the speed it is travelling and the angular velocity -- or "spin" -- applied to the ball.

When a football spins in the air, it is subjected to a force called the Magnus force -- which causes it to curl sideways from the direction it was originally kicked.

The group found that the distance a ball bends (D) as a result of this force is related to the ball's radius (R), the density of air (?), the ball's angular velocity (?), it's velocity through the air (v), it's mass (m) and the distance travelled by the ball in the direction it was kicked (x).

For instance, if a player standing 15 metres away from the byline kicked an average football so that it was travelling at a velocity of 35 metres per second and had an angular velocity of 10 revolutions per second, the ball would bend around 5 metres towards the goal.

As a result, the player would probably need to bring a tape measure -- as well as a measure of their own abilities -- if they wanted to put the theory into practice during a game!

Jasmine Sandhu, 22, who studies Physics with Space Science and Technology, said: "Whilst researching new ideas for a paper I read about how physics influences various aspects of football, from the clothing they wear to the effects of playing at high altitude.

"The article discussed how a new design of ball, used in the 2010 World Cup, has three dimensional moulding of the panels in order to produce a more rounded ball, thus affecting the spin that can be imparted.

"This prompted us to examine how footballers use spin on the ball, and the factors which influence how much the path of the ball would bend.

"These findings made me more aware of how I can use spin to bend the ball in a game of football. In addition, this research is also relevant to other sports, such as tennis, which shows that physics definitely gives you the edge!"

The paper was published in this year's University of Leicester Journal of Special Physics Topics, which features original short papers written by students in the final year of their four-year Master of Physics degree.

The Benefits To Owning A Lawn Mower Jack

A riding lawn mower is a significant investment for anyone and that is why it is important to learn how to maintain that investment. You can save yourself a lot of money on riding mower maintenance and repairs if you learn to do them yourself. But even if you learn how to do the work yourself, you still need the right tools for the job. Along with tools such as a wrench set and a good set of screwdrivers, you also need to have a lawn mower jack as well. Without the jack, you will never be able to safely and properly maintain your riding mower. It is an investment you need to make to protect your investment in your mower.

A lawn mower jack is a specially engineered device that safely lifts a riding mower off the ground and then locks it into place. It allows you to gain access to the undercarriage of the mower so that you can clean the undercarriage and attend to any repairs or necessary replacements. You can sharpen the blade of the mower and replace the belts that help to drive the blade. If you want your mower to give you an even cut every time you use it, then you need to stay up on your blade and belt maintenance. A jack is the only safe way to get at those parts of your mower and keep everything running smoothly.

Another benefit to having a lawn mower jack is that it allows you to get at the undercarriage so that you can clean it out and make sure the blade always has an unobstructed path. The blade housing can get clogged up with dirt, grass and even stones. If it is not cleaned on a regular basis, then all of these items will eventually cause the blade to slow down and decrease its cutting efficiency. When stones are left in the blade housing, then they can become dangerous missiles during cutting that can cause property damage or harm an individual. Removing the blade housing debris eliminates all of these problems.

When you buy a quality lawn mower jack, then it will last you for many years. You will be able to take care of your riding mowers for many years and make sure that you are always protecting your investment. A jack will be something that pays for itself several times over in the way it can extend the life of your mower and help you to get the mowing results that you are looking for.

A look at recent tech-industry earnings

Here is a summary of recent earnings and reports for selected technology companies and what they reveal about the state of spending and the overall economy:

April 6: Samsung Electronics Co. says it is expecting a record operating profit of $5.1 billion for the first quarter. It says the result would be a 97 percent rise from its operating profit a year earlier. Samsung estimated that its first quarter sales rose 21.6 percent from a year earlier. More details will come when Samsung releases its full quarterly results.

April 12: Google Inc. reports adjusted earnings and adjusted revenue that beat expectations. Google's revenue was helped by a 39 percent increase in "paid clicks," but the prices of its search-driven text ads continued to decline. CEO Larry Page called the first quarter "very strong," but acknowledgehd there's more work to do.

April 17: Yahoo Inc.'s first-quarter earnings show signs of modest progress under recently hired CEO Scott Thompson. Net income grew 28 percent from the same time last year and exceeded expectations. Revenue grew less than 1 percent, but represented a breakthrough because the company's revenue has been steadily falling for years.

IBM Corp. says first-quarter net income grew 7 percent, helped by strong profit margins in its services business and strong revenue growth across its software and services businesses. Revenue was flat overall because of declines in the hardware and financing segments, and revenue fell short of analysts' expectations. IBM increases its full-year guidance to at least $15 per share, above the $14.93 expected by analysts.

Intel Corp. says its net income in the first quarter fell 13 percent as spending on research and marketing rose while sales were flat.

April 18: EBay Inc. says its first-quarter net income grew 20 percent thanks to higher revenue from its PayPal business and brisk sales at its e-commerce websites. The results beat Wall Street's expectations.

Mobile phone chipmaker Qualcomm Inc. says its quarterly profit more than doubled as strong demand for smartphones boosted its sales; but it expects costs to increase as it makes more chips.

April 19: Microsoft Corp. fares better than analysts anticipated in its latest quarter, boosted by a surprising rise in sales of its Windows operating system for personal computers

Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. reports adjusted earnings and revenue that beat Wall Street's expectations. AMD's revenue forecast for the current quarter was at $1.59 billion to $1.68 billion, while analysts surveyed by FactSet were expecting $1.59 billion.

Nokia Corp. reports a huge net loss, one of the company's worst ever quarters, and blames tougher-than-expected competition. It has faced stiff competition from the likes of Apple Inc.'s iPhone and handset makers using Google Inc.'s popular Android software.

April 23: Netflix Inc. says it suffered its first quarterly loss in seven years, but the setback was far smaller than analysts expected. Netflix had rising licensing fees and a bill for an international expansion. Netflix predicted that it would make money during the current quarter. Still, Wall Street was worried about tougher competition. Skittish investors keyed on a second-quarter forecast that calls for a slowdown in subscriber growth during the spring and early summer.

Chipmaker Texas Instruments Inc. says first-quarter net income fell 60 percent from a year ago as revenue shrank. But the results still beat analysts' expectations.

Xerox Corp. says first-quarter net income fell 4 percent as the company spent more on building its services business, which now makes up more than half the company's revenue. The company says it's investing in new offerings and long-term contracts in order to increase growth. In the short term, that has hurt profitability.

April 24: Apple Inc. reported blowout iPhone sales ? 35 million in the latest quarter, almost twice as many as it sold a year ago and above analyst expectations. Net income nearly doubled to $11.6 billion, and revenue was up 59 percent at $39.2 billion. IPad sales came in below analyst expectations, at 11.8 million units. But that was still two and a half times as many as it sold in the same quarter a year ago.

April 25: Motorola Solutions Inc., which sells communications equipment to government and corporate customers, says first-quarter net income declined from a year ago, when the company recorded a large tax-related gain. Revenue grew thanks to strong demand from the company's government customers.

April 26: Amazon.com Inc. reports strong quarterly earnings and says its Kindle Fire tablet computer remains its best-selling item. However, its outlook for revenue growth was slower than expected.

Online games company Zynga Inc. reports adjusted earnings of 6 cents a share, a penny better than what Wall Street expected. Revenue grew 32 percent.

April 27: A surge in Galaxy smartphone sales fueled earnings at Samsung Electronics to a record high in the first quarter, usually a tough season for the global consumer-electronics industry. The South Korean company outshined handset rivals such as Nokia Corp. Strong demand for high-end smartphones, such as the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S2 introduced last year, helped mask lower profit from memory chips, another Samsung flagship business.

May 1: Mobile phone maker Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. reports a slightly larger net loss in the first quarter as expenses grew more than revenue. Motorola says it still expects its acquisition by Google to close by the end of June. The deal still needs to be approved by authorities in China.

May 3: LinkedIn Corp. says its first-quarter net income more than doubled, and its revenue doubled from a year ago. Adjusted profit and revenue beat expectations. During the quarter, revenue grew across the company's divisions. The business-networking company also announces plans to buy presentation-sharing website SlideShare for $118.8 million.

May 9: Cisco Systems Inc. says its quarterly earnings surged 20 percent in the latest sign that a recently completed overhaul is paying off for the world's largest maker of computer-networking equipment. However, Cisco raised the specter of a sharp slowdown in technology spending, rattling investors already fretting about the economy's fragile condition. Cisco made a sobering forecast for the current quarter and traced it to skittish customers who are waiting longer to close deals and spending less money because of growing uncertainty about the economy, particularly in Europe and India.

May 14: Online deals company Groupon Inc. says it had a smaller net loss and sharply higher revenue in the first quarter, helped by increased demand from a growing customer base.

May 17: Salesforce.com Inc., which makes Web-based business software, says it had a net loss in the first quarter, but adjusted profit and revenue beat expectations. It raises its forecast for full-year results.

May 22: Dell Inc. reports disappointing first-quarter results and forecasts weak sales in the current quarter. The computer maker says sales to big businesses, consumers and the public sector decreased.

May 23: Hewlett-Packard Co. says it will cut 27,000 workers, or 8 percent of its work force, by October 2014. News of the cutbacks overshadowed the release of HP's latest quarterly results. The company's earnings and revenue were both better than analysts projected.

June 18: Oracle Corp says net income increased 8 percent and topped analysts' predictions. Oracle also posted a 7 percent gain in its sales of new software licenses, indicating there is still strong demand for technology that helps businesses automate their administrative tasks.

June 19: Software company Adobe Systems Inc. says net income in the latest quarter fell 2 percent, amid higher expenses. Revenue grew with strong sales of its Creative Suite product.

Study identifies causes for high rates of allergic reactions in children with food allergies

Study identifies causes for high rates of allergic reactions in children with food allergies

Monday, June 25, 2012

A team of researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine and four other institutions have found that young children with documented or likely allergies to milk and/or eggs, whose families were instructed on how to avoid these and other foods, still experienced allergic reactions at a rate of almost once per year. Of severe cases, less than a third received epinephrine, a medication used to counter anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic condition.

The findings are from an ongoing Consortium of Food Allergy Research (CoFAR) study that has been following more than 500 children with food allergies since infancy. The results of the three-year study appear online in the June 25 issue of Pediatrics.

Nearly 72 percent of the participants experienced a reaction, with 1,171 allergic reactions in total. Allergic reactions were attributed to such factors as a lack of close supervision, misreading ingredient labels, cross-contamination, or errors in food preparation. Participating families had been given written and verbal food avoidance instruction, and written prescriptions for self-injectable epinephrine, beforehand.

"This study reinforces the importance of educating parents and other caregivers of children with food allergy about avoiding allergenic foods and using epinephrine to treat severe food-allergic reactions," said Scott Sicherer, MD, Professor of Pediatrics and Chief of the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. "We must work harder to thoroughly educate parents about the details of avoidance and when and how to correctly use epinephrine to manage this life-threatening condition."

Approximately 11 percent of the children experienced anaphylaxis, which can include symptoms such as swelling in the throat, asthma, sudden drop in blood pressure, dizziness or fainting. The children's parents or caregivers administered epinephrine in only 30 percent of the cases of children having severe reactions to food. Investigators found children did not receive epinephrine because either the drug was not available, or parents and caregivers were too afraid to administer the drug, or they did not recognize the reaction as severe and waited to see more symptoms.

"We found a significant number of young children received allergenic foods from caregivers other than their parents," said Hugh Sampson, MD, Dean for Translational Biomedical Sciences, Professor of Pediatrics, and Director of the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. "This underscores the need to educate everyone who is responsible for the child, including grandparents, older siblings and teachers."

Dr. Sampson is the lead investigator for COFAR, which is also performing numerous food allergy treatment trials.

The study is taking place at The Mount Sinai Medical Center as well as research hospitals in Baltimore, MD; Denver, CO; Durham, NC; and Little Rock, Ark., with support from The National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health. NIAID conducts and supports research?at NIH, throughout the United States, and worldwide?to study the causes of infectious and immune-mediated diseases, and to develop better means of preventing, diagnosing and treating these illnesses.

A new device however, can reveal much the same information as a traditional blood test in real-time, simply by shining a light through the skin. This portable optical instrument is able to provide high-resolution images of blood coursing through veins without the need for harsh fluorescent dyes.Mon, 21 May 2012 11:56:56 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120521115654.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120521103808.htm The plague, bacterial dysentery, and cholera have one thing in common: These dangerous diseases are caused by bacteria which infect their host using a sophisticated injection apparatus. Through needle-like structures, they release molecular agents into their host cell, thereby evading the immune response. Researchers have now elucidated the structure of such a needle at atomic resolution. Their findings might contribute to drug tailoring and the development of strategies which specifically prevent the infection process.Mon, 21 May 2012 10:38:38 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120521103808.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120518132657.htm Tiny beads may act as minimally invasive glucose sensors for a variety of applications in cell culture systems and tissue engineering.Fri, 18 May 2012 13:26:26 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120518132657.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120518081147.htm Using newly developed imaging technology, chemists have confirmed years of theoretical assumptions about water molecules, the most abundant and one of the most frequently studied substances on Earth.Fri, 18 May 2012 08:11:11 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120518081147.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120517193141.htm Researchers have come closer to solving an old challenge of producing graphene quantum dots of controlled shape and size at large densities, which could revolutionize electronics and optoelectronics.Thu, 17 May 2012 19:31:31 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120517193141.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120517143506.htm Scientists have discovered how adding trace amounts of water can tremendously speed up chemical reactions -? such as hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis ?- in which hydrogen is one of the reactants, or starting materials.Thu, 17 May 2012 14:35:35 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120517143506.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120514104848.htm Three proteins have been found to be involved in the accumulation of fatty acids in plants.
