7 Days, 7 BreakfastsBy Joe Wilkes
It's hard to work good nutrition into our days. We're working longer and longer hours and still trying to fit in 30 to 60 minutes of exercise, not to mention all the studies coming out that say we're not getting nearly enough sleep. The hours run out. The snooze button gets pushed. Breakfast often turns into eating last night's leftover takeout during the morning commute. Or worse, it turns into no breakfast at all.
People often skip breakfast in hopes of getting more sleep or losing more weight, but in fact, people who replace breakfast with extra sleep end up having less energy. Breakfast skippers also tend to gain more weight. They start the day with a slow metabolism and then overeat at lunch because they're hungry. You're much better off trying to eat something nutritious in the morning so your brain and body rev up and you don't start the day with cravings that often get relieved by donuts in the break room. Here are seven breakfasts that you can squeeze into the busiest schedule.
Note: Some of the recipes call for eggs. You can use egg substitutes like Egg Beaters® (1/4 cup per egg), two egg whites per whole egg, or tofu, depending on the recipe and your dietary concerns. Additionally, some recipes call for whole wheat ingredients. Gluten-free versions can be substituted in every case (but no white-flour substitutes!). All nutritional information is per serving. Recipes are for one serving unless otherwise noted.
Sunday: Mom's Pancake Recipe
Like so many of my family's "secret" recipes, this one began life on the side of a package of food. In this case, it was a carton of eggs (no surprise when you see the second ingredient). But this is a pretty good way of sneaking extra protein to your kids—it'll definitely get a better reaction than a boiled egg and a scoop of cottage cheese. For the grown-ups who are watching their cholesterol, my brother came up with an alternative; substituting six egg whites and half an avocado for the six eggs. The pancakes turn out a bit green, but if you can get past that, they're quite tasty. You can top them with your favorite fresh fruit. If you can't live without maple syrup, go for grade B or grade C. Those syrups contain more of the natural minerals that are filtered out of the grade A syrup. And they're cheaper!
- 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or 1/4 cup whole wheat and 1/4 cup barley flour)
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- Pinch of salt
- Dash of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
Blend or food-process the first six ingredients on high until smooth. Add milk slowly to reach batter consistency. Cook on a hot, nonstick griddle. Number of pancakes varies depending on size. Serves 6.
Preparation time: 15 to 20 minutes

Monday: Power Oatmeal
Oatmeal is one of the healthiest grains around. The Mayo Clinic even includes it in its list of the top five foods to lower your cholesterol numbers. It has a high soluble fiber content that helps reduce cholesterol and slows sugar digestion, a benefit for people living with diabetes. It also has a high insoluble fiber content, which has been linked to cancer prevention. It's a good source of protein, as well as vitamin E, zinc, manganese, magnesium, and iron, among other nutrients. While it is a little on the bland side flavor-wise, it's easy to liven it up with some healthy ingredients, including seasonal or thawed frozen berries, nuts, and flaxseed.
There are a lot of schools of thought on the best way to prepare oatmeal. Purists will choose unrolled oats, either whole or steel-cut, and cook them forever (all right, 30 to 40 minutes). Those of us who don't live on "Martha Stewart time" are more apt to select rolled or quick-cooking oats, which can cook in about 5 to 10 minutes. And those of us truly strapped for time enjoy the convenience of instant oatmeal. For this recipe, use the plain oatmeal of your choice; just choose one that doesn't include sugary flavorings like maple brown sugar, apple cinnamon, etc. We're going to flavor it ourselves with high-antioxidant blueberries and heart-healthy fats from walnuts and flaxseed. For extra protein, add half a scoop of Beachbody's Whey Protein Powder.
- 1 cup prepared oatmeal (see above)
- 1 Tbsp. flaxseed
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl (or a to-go cup).
Preparation time: 10 minutes

Tuesday: Carl's Chocolate Almond Shakeology®
I was able to get my hands on Beachbody® CEO Carl Daikeler's favorite Shakeology recipe. And anyone who has been fortunate enough to spend time in the company of our energetic boss, you'll join me in saying, "I'll have what he's having." For hard-to-find ingredients like almond butter or almond milk, you could substitute peanut butter or soy, rice, or skim milk. For hard-to-stomach ingredients like the raw egg, you could use protein powder.
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp. almond butter
- 1 whole banana
- 1 whole egg, raw
- 1 scoop chocolate Shakeology
- 1 scoop Shakeology Boost: The Fiber
- 1 cup ice
Mix all ingredients in a blender until creamy.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Nutritional information (per serving):

Wednesday: Healthy Breakfast Burrito
Going to college in Southern California, I gained a lot of sustenance from burritos of all kinds. I also gained a lot of weight. Stuffed full of cheese, fried potatoes, and larded-up refried beans, the breakfast burritos were delicious and filling to a fault. But breakfast burritos don't have to be unhealthy. Fillings like veggies and eggs that were often crowded out by the cheaper and fattier ingredients can be elevated to star status in the dish. You'll create a quick, healthy breakfast that can be eaten on the move (although the police department would discourage trying to eat while driving).
By the way, here's a tip for easy-peasy scrambled eggs or egg substitutes I learned from a "restaurant" in our last office building that prepared a wide variety of hot dishes using only a microwave. Scramble an egg in a coffee cup or small microwave-safe bowl. Depending on your wattage, nuke it for 30 seconds to a minute, and voilà, scrambled eggs perfect for a sandwich or a burrito.
- 1 scrambled egg or egg substitute (or tofu)
- 1 6-inch whole-grain tortilla
- 2 Tbsp. black beans, canned
- 2 Tbsp. low-fat cheddar cheese (or soy cheese)
- 2 Tbsp. chopped tomato
- 2 Tbsp. chopped onion
- Hot sauce to taste
What follows are the microwave directions. You could alternatively scramble the egg and heat the beans in a small frying pan.
Microwave scrambled egg or egg substitute until cooked (see above for alternate cooking method). While egg is cooking, spread out tortilla on a dinner plate or cutting board. Spread cooked egg in the middle of one-half of the tortilla. Heat the beans in the microwave (not too much or they'll explode!). While beans are heating, sprinkle cheese on eggs, then pile on beans, tomatoes, and onions (if you don't have time to chop fresh veggies, a healthy salsa could be substituted). Add hot sauce if desired. Fold tortilla in half over the ingredients and fold in the sides. (This part may take some practice. My first burrito-folding attempts usually resulted in a dish I called burrito salad, but I eventually got the hang of it.)
Preparation time: 10 minutes (or more, depending on your tortilla-folding skills)
Nutritional information (per serving):
|10 grams
|35 grams
|6 grams
|20 grams
Thursday: Fruit Parfait
The Harvard School of Public Health recommends that most people should have at least NINE half-cup servings of fruits and vegetables per day. So you can see that if you skip breakfast, you're really putting the pressure on the rest of your meals. A diet high in fruits and veggies lowers the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, cancer, and blood sugar problems, as well as offering many other health benefits. This recipe layers yogurt with three different types of fresh fruit. You can substitute any other fruit (preferably seasonal) for one of the fruits in this recipe. (For anyone thinking of hitting the drive-thru at McDonald's® for its version of this recipe, you could do worse in an emergency, but this is way healthier.)
- 1-1/2 cups plain low-fat yogurt (or soy yogurt)
- 1 Tbsp. almonds, chopped fine
- 1 Tbsp. flaxseed, ground
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup apple, diced
- 1/2 cup cantaloupe, diced
In a tall glass, layer ingredients in the following order: 1/2 cup yogurt, followed by a sprinkle of almonds, flaxseed, and blueberries; repeat process with apples and cantaloupe (or whatever order of fruit you choose). If presentation isn't that important to you, you could just mix it all up in a bowl and eat it. (I live alone. No one's watching.)
Preparation time: 10 minutes (more or less depending on what needs chopping)
Nutritional information (per serving):
|16 grams
|57 grams
|9 grams
|27 grams
Friday: Tuna Salad Surprise
Have you ever noticed that some mornings the cat has a healthier breakfast than you do? Tuna's not just for lunch anymore. In fact, when we have our big, healthy employee breakfast at Beachbody, a big bowl of this tuna recipe is usually the star of the buffet. Tuna is really high in protein and a great source of vitamin D and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. You could mix it up by substituting canned salmon once in a while. This recipe replaces fattening mayonnaise with healthy veggies and lemon juice for a refreshing, high-energy breakfast (although we might suggest an after-breakfast mint).
- 5 oz. canned tuna in water (if in oil, skip olive oil)
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice (or to taste)
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup green onions, diced
- 2 Tbsp. parsley and/or cilantro (or more to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Raw jalapeño (if desired)
Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and season to taste. Chop in some raw jalapeño for extra zip!
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Nutritional information (per serving):
|15 grams
|12 grams
|2 grams
|43 grams
Saturday: Vegetable Frittata
Since it's the weekend, it might be nice to make something you don't have to eat in the car. Frittatas are like omelets for the oven. All the flavor, but you don't have to try to flip it on the stove top (or onto the floor as the case may be.) It's a crowd-pleaser! Feel free to experiment with other favorite veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, zucchini, etc.
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup fresh spinach, torn
- 1 tsp. garlic, crushed
- 2 medium plum tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
- 1/2 cup low-fat Swiss cheese (or soy cheese), shredded
- 1 oz. Parmesan cheese (or soy cheese), grated
- Cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray an 8-inch pie pan or baking dish with cooking spray. Beat the eggs in a bowl, then mix in all ingredients. Pour into the pan. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until the eggs are firm. Cut into 2 servings (like an omelet!).
Preparation time: 15 to 20 minutes
Nutritional information (per serving; 1/2 frittata):
|23 grams
|14 grams
|4 grams
|33 grams
Of course, you should feel free to eat any of these breakfasts on any day of the week. And repeat your favorites. Most of these can be integrated into your favorite Beachbody meal plan. Come back next week for part two of our five-part series, and get recipes for 7 Days: 7 Lunches. Bon appétit!

Climbing Michi's Ladder: Bok ChoyBy Denis Faye
You may know it as Chinese cabbage or pak choi or you may not know it at all. A relative of good ol' American cabbage, bok choy has green leaves and white stalks. If you've ever had soup in a Chinese restaurant, you've probably eaten bok choy.
The nutrition facts
The beauty of some leafy greens is that they pack a massive nutritional punch while being almost calorically void. At 20 calories for a cup of boiled bok choy, you probably burn more preparing and eating it. But that cup also lands you 144 percent of the recommended daily allowance (RDA)* for vitamin A, 74 percent of vitamin C, 72 percent of vitamin K, and nice little hunks of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, vitamin B6, calcium, iron, manganese, and potassium. You also get 2 grams of fiber.
How do you eat this stuff?
Pretty much anything you do with cabbage you can do with bok choy, but the three standard methods of preparation are boiling, steaming, and stir-frying. Obviously, the first two are healthiest. The white stalks are much denser than the green leaves, so whichever method you use, separate the two parts and give the stalks a 2- to 3-minute head start in the pan, pot, or steamer.

Test Your Fast Food Breakfast IQ!By Monica Nuñez
If you read Joe's article, then you now have a week's worth of healthy, delicious breakfasts to try. But what happens if you backslide and grab a fast food breakfast? What exactly are you getting? Rank the following fast food breakfasts from highest to lowest calories.
- IHOP® Stuffed French Toast Combo: 1,476 calories. Yep. That's 1,476 calories consumed, all before lunchtime! Some people consume that many calories in a day. Impressive! Of course, when you look at what this combo contains, you won't be surprised: Cinnamon raisin French toast stuffed with sweet cream cheese filling, topped with cool strawberry or your choice of fruit compote and whipped topping. Served with two eggs, hash browns, two bacon strips, or two pork sausage links. This breakfast packs quite the punch, to your stomach and your fitness goals. I'd skip it. The Stuffed French Toast Combo also contains 76.2 grams of fat, 173.1 grams of carbs, and 29.1 grams of protein.
- Jack in the Box® Hearty Breakfast Bowl and Orange Sunrise Smoothie (24 oz.): 1,210 calories. Definitely "hearty" in calories, the breakfast bowl contains 780 calories, with 540 of those calories from fat. Total fat content is 60 grams—with 20 saturated fat grams and 7 trans fat grams. Although the bowl is not going to win the sodium challenge over the Deluxe Breakfast, it's still impressive at 1,350 milligrams of sodium—oh, the salty goodness! The bowl also contains 34 grams of carbs (4 grams of dietary fiber and 1 gram of sugar) and 26 grams of protein. While the smoothie contains no fat, you don't want or need to consume a 430-calorie beverage. The smoothie also contains 108 total grams of carbs (with 86, yes, 86 grams of sugar) and 4 grams of protein. Why not opt for a large orange instead? Come on! You can actually go "big" on this fresh fruit and not do any of the damage that this and the other large breakfasts listed will do. One large orange (about 6.5 ounces) has 86 calories, 21.6 grams of carbs (along with 4.4 grams of fiber and 17.2 grams of sugars), 1.7 grams of protein, 73.6 milligrams of calcium, and 333 milligrams of potassium.
- McDonald's Deluxe Breakfast (large-size biscuit; no syrup or margarine): 1,150 calories. You'll consume 1,150 calories (540 calories from fat) if you opt for the Deluxe Breakfast—with the large-size biscuit. As with the IHOP Combo and the Jack in the Box breakfast, you will have consumed over 1,000 calories before noon. Wow! The risk you take when you decide to go through that drive-thru window is costly, even if the price of your breakfast is not. If you go for the conservative Deluxe Breakfast with the regular-size biscuit (at 1,090 calories, 510 calories from fat), you'll save 60 calories. Does that make a difference? Maybe not—definitely not to your waistline if you eat the Deluxe Breakfast often. The Deluxe Breakfast with the large-size biscuit also contains 60 grams of total fat (20 grams of saturated fat), 116 grams of carbs (with 7 grams of fiber and 17 grams of sugar), and 36 grams of protein. At 60 grams of total fat, you consume 93 percent of your recommended daily allowance.* The sodium content is also worth mentioning: 2,260 milligrams of sodium. Don't forget that all of these numbers do not include the syrup and margarine.
- Burger King® Enormous Omelet Sandwich and Minute Maid® Orange Juice (12 oz.): 870 calories. Most of those 870 calories will be coming from the 730-calorie sandwich. The omelet sandwich also has 45 grams of total fat, with 16 saturated fat grams and 1 trans fat gram. It falls a bit short of the Deluxe Breakfast with its 1,940 milligrams of sodium. Other nutritional content includes 44 grams of total carbs, with 2 grams of fiber and 8 grams of sugar, and 37 grams of protein. Your safest bet is to stick with the juice alone. At 140 calories, it contains 33 grams of carbs (30 grams of sugar), 2 grams of protein, and 42 milligrams of vitamin C. I dared not add anything like, say, a large hash brown. It's almost as highly caloric as the sandwich at 620 calories (40 grams of total fat, with 11 saturated and 13 trans, and 1,200 milligrams of sodium). If it helps, you'll only consume 10 more calories if you choose this Burger King breakfast over the Starbucks breakfast.
- Starbucks® Venti Hot Chocolate (2% milk, with whip) and a Blueberry Scone: 860 calories. That 2% milk won't really help you much in the way of saving calories. The hot chocolate contains 460 calories (160 calories from fat) and the blueberry scone contains 400 calories (160 calories from fat). If you opt for no whip cream, you're still going to consume 390 calories in drink alone. I know it's very hard to resist this sweet, delicious "breakfast," but you're better off avoiding so much sugar so early in the morning—well, OK, you're better off avoiding so much sugar, period! That venti hot chocolate also contains 18 grams of total fat (10 grams saturated), 64 grams of carbs (with 2 grams of fiber and 54 grams of sugar), and 18 grams of protein. The blueberry scone has 17 grams of total fat (9 grams saturated), 54 grams of carbs (with 2 fiber grams and 17 sugar grams), and 5 grams of protein. If you simply can't resist the hot chocolate, why not try a tall instead of a venti with nonfat milk and no whipped cream? It contains 190 calories (20 calories from fat), 2 grams of total fat (no saturated fat), 37 grams of carbs (2 grams of fiber and 31 grams of sugar), and 11 grams of protein.

LSU's Jeremy Hill gets probation; video shows ugly sucker punch
LSU running back Jeremy Hill has been sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation, along with multiple other provisions, after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor simple battery charge.
Hill, who was previously given a curfew, must attend anger management classes, cannot speak to the media and is prohibited from Facebook and other social media outlets, reports WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge, La.
Additionally, Hill must pay $375 in medical expenses to the victims, write a letter of apology and complete 50 hours of community service.
In April, Hill was involved in a bar fight. Mobile phone video showed Hill throwing a punch to the side of the head of the victim. The victim was knocked out by another punch seconds later delivered by Robert Bayardo, who is not an LSU student. Hill's attorney, Maci Blaize, argued that the video did not show that prior to the altercation, her client was harassed and heckled about his previous arrest that occurred while he was an 18-year-old high school student for having a sexual relationship with a then 14-year-old girl.
For the former incident, he was issued a six-month suspended sentence and two years' probation. He was allowed then to enroll at LSU. According to WBRZ-TV, the district attorney's office plans to file a motion to revoke his probation stemming from that charge, which could spell more trouble.
Right now, Hill is suspended from all LSU football activities. There was no immediate indication of whether the suspension would be lifted now that the outcome of the case has been decided, or if it could extend into the season. The probation from the carnal knowledge case could certainly affect that decision.
Hill rushed for 755 yards and 12 touchdowns last season as a freshman.

(CBS News) Monday marks the first day of the federal government's new fiscal year, but there is not much to celebrate because we are headed toward what's being called a fiscal cliff.
There were dire new warnings Monday about what will happen to American families unless Congress and the president reach a budget deal by December 31. That is the day that several tax cuts will expire, and big cuts in federal spending will take hold.
4 tax moves to gird for the "fiscal cliff"
What is the "fiscal cliff"? A Q&A
Tax experts said 90 percent of American families are facing what they will call "unprecedented tax increases."
According to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, the U.S. is on the threshold of one of the largest tax increases in history, a tax hike that could average $3,500 for every American household.
Without actions from Congress, the report says taxes will go up next year by 20 percent, or $536 billion overall. It will hit Americans at every income level including those living below the poverty line. For a middle income family making $40,000 per year, the tax increase is $2,000.
The increases are so large because the nation's biggest tax cuts all expire three months from now on New Year's Day. They include the Bush-era federal income tax cuts, the payroll tax cut that lowered Social Security and Medicare taxes, and several remaining stimulus tax cuts. They all go away January 1 unless Congress and the president reach a deal on the budget.
Many economists are concerned that a tax increase of that size will shock the economy and trigger a recession by reducing the cash taxpayers have to spend. But now, Congress and the president have a firm price tag on what it costs if they don't reach a budget deal after the election.

GM's board's U-turn on strategy was a jolt to many, not the least the apparently unhappy German government that thought they had a different deal in place. After further consideration, the board flexed its muscles and said no, a gutsy and controversial move to be sure. What does this episode tell us about boards and strategy?
Perhaps the most important lesson is this: boards have a fiduciary responsibility (in America) to do what they deem necessary to protect and grow shareholder value. Signs of economic recovery, the waning of panic in the boardroom and executive suite that dominated thinking in GM's darkest hours, and a deeper analysis of what strategy this company needs to execute a turnaround all played a role.
While the circumstances were different, one can contrast GM's decision to renege on a deal with Bank of America's experience with Merrill Lynch. The B of A board also felt tremendous pressure to move forward on a deal – the acquisition of Merrill Lynch – that was damaging to shareholders, yet they didn't muster the courage to take on the US Treasury. So what's the right thing to do?
Boards and management teams absolutely have the right to change their minds – how could they not? However, under "normal" business conditions, such dramatic policy shifts might signal turmoil among executive decision-makers and a house that can't figure out what to do. The price such a board or management team will pay may be high. Just a few years ago then-CEO of Tyco, Dennis Kozlowski, announced a breakup of the company only to quickly revoke the move, triggering a pivotal downward shift in the market's perception of his credibility.
What's different here is that GM's board is newly empowered, has the implicit support of the US government, and as a result has adopted an almost "devil may care" attitude. Save GM, and nothing else matters. Of course, there will be a price to pay down the line for this cavalier approach to important stakeholders, but that is the long-term and right now GM is focused on survival and not worrying too much about collateral damage. And they're right.

Snapshots From Harvest in the Finger Lakes, NY
Snapshots from where wine comes from.
"I need to hear everyone singing," Peter Weiss said. "Because if I don't I'm going to think you're eating the grapes."
I was on the west side of Keuka Lake hand-harvesting riesling at Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery. Peter Weiss, who is from Germany's famous Mosel region, is the winemaker responsible for riesling there.
My plane had only landed at Greater Rochester International Airport some two hours earlier, but we were already wrist deep in wine grapes. 'We' included me and a cluster of other wine enthusiasts from New York City that were invited to Harvest House—an annual, week-long, hands-on learning experience at some of the Finger Lakes' premiere wineries; an event made possible by the New York Wine & Grape Foundation and the Genesee Valley Regional Market Authority.
For one week during this year's harvest, the newbies were paired off and taken to a winery to work each day day. At night, the group—including a rotation of winemakers—sat around a table to feast on other agricultural bounties of the region prepared by local chef Brud Holland. Tom and Marti Macinski of Standing Stone were guests at dinner one night. Marti had this to say about farming the iconic Finger Lakes grape: "Riesling is like a teenager," she said. "It plays the violin as a kid, but you don't know if it's going to grow up to play really well."
Standing on a five acre block of riesling at Dr. Frank vineyards, Fred Frank put it simply: "The cool climate here in the Finger Lakes is ideal for the northern European wine grapes," he said. "Particularly riesling, so that remains our number one variety." Later in the afternoon, surrounded by yellowing leaves at Melvin Goldman's Keuka Lake Vineyards, Goldman recalled the start of his career. "I bought this property in '93," he said. "It was part of Taylor Wine Company and the president of Taylor owned it. It's only 14 acres of grapes. It's not enough to run the farm, so we took out most of the existing Catawba. We left some, but I knew immediately when tasting around Hermann Wiemer and Frank's in the old days, in the 90s, it was clear that riesling was the best grape."
At Dr. Frank, we were after riesling grapes that had succumbed to botrytis, a mold that draws water from the affected grapes and leaves behind sweet, concentrated berries. The intent was to harvest enough of these to produce a dessert wine. But long before botrytis settled in at Dr. Frank, and thousands of years before the vines were planted, glaciers from Canada's Hudson Bay cut their way through Central New York and gave the area eleven lakes of varying depths. Because of their long, narrow run and north-to-south orientation, the bodies of water earned the name Finger Lakes.
Konstantin Frank, Fred's grandfather, moved to the region from Ukraine in 1951. He brought with him a PhD in viticulture and optimism for the Finger Lake's cool climate. Keuka, Seneca, and Cayuga Lakes are the heart of Finger Lakes wine production, and because of their depth they don't freeze during the harsh winters. Instead, they create pockets of warm air that provide a year-round moderating affect on the vineyards. In the coldest months, this helps keep vines from freezing.
Finger Lakes wine production dates back to the mid-19th century, when most of what grew was Catawba, Niagara, and Labrusca—durable, native grapes that could withstand the region's unpredictable climate. That same inventory of grapes was grown through most of the 20th century. In the 60s and 70s, Taylor Wine Company sourced these grapes from the farmers for mass production. But Coca-Cola bought Taylor in the 70s and relocated from the southern tip of Keuka Lake in Hammondsport to California, and it left farmers with an abundance of crops that no one was buying. The Finger Lakes needed an outlet.
In 1976, the New York Farm Winery Act was signed into law, allowing farmers to establish wineries and sell their goods directly to the public. It was a breath of fresh air for local farmers and marks the birth of the Finger Lakes wine industry as it's known today.
I had no intention of hitting snooze when my alarm went off at 7 a.m.—I was ready to get dirt under my nails at Anthony Road. John Martini founded the winery in 1990 with his wife Ann and, today, their son Peter is the vineyard manager. Having met Fred and Meaghan Frank (3rd and 4th generation winemakers, respectively) the day before, I was starting to see a trend.
Harvest was in full swing and the seven-ton press was in heavy rotation by the time I arrived. Parts of the press had been soaking from the night before and had to be taken out and cleaned. "Seventy percent of what we do is clean," Johannes Reinhardt told me, "only thirty percent is making wine." Johannes, who joined Anthony Road in 2000 after leaving his family's winemaking estate in Germany five years prior, is one half of the winemaking team at Anthony Road. The silver 1959 Airstream ("Baby Blue") parked along a row of trees near the cellar belongs to the other half: Peter Becraft. He and Johannes share the winemaking responsibilities and delegate production once grapes come in.
As parts were scrubbed and butter knives used to pick out stems and seeds and skins from all the nooks and crannies of machine parts, what sounded like shotgun blasts kept disrupting the tranquility of the early autumn morning. "Those are air canons," Peter said, "to scare the birds."
It was the first pest problem that I'd heard about in the Finger Lakes. I'd later hear horror stories about deer, turkey, foxes, woodchucks, mildew, rain, frost, and a type of ladybug that came over on a furniture shipment from China that, when pressed into fresh juice, can leave the final product smelling like peanut butter.
As Peter gave us a tour of the cellar, 2,000-gallon steel tanks full of juice (some fermenting, some not) glistened on every wall. I kept thinking "Why now? What would happen if those three tons of riesling grapes came in two days from now instead of yesterday? Do three days really make a difference?" I asked Peter how he decides when to harvest.
"The decisions to pick will always be based on, 'Are the grapes ready?'" he began. But there was more. "'Is there anything that's making us need to pick them now or can they hold off?' 'Is Bob, who has the machine harvester, available?' If we're hand harvesting with Mario and his crew, we have to work with that schedule too." He rattled this off all so quickly it was hard to keep up. "So you've got weather, ripeness, and availability."
Weather? Evan Dawson, managing editor of the New York Cork Report and author of Summer in a Glass: The Coming of Age of Winemaking in the Finger Lakes, asked Morten Hallgren of Ravines Wine Cellars what separates the Finger Lakes from other wine regions. "This," [Hallgren] said, pointing to the sky. "Not because the weather is bad, but because the weather is never the same. There will never be a model from which to work. If you try to grow grapes and make wine the same way every year, you're going to get buried. Making wine here requires an extremely open mind and a willingness to adapt."
Melvin Goldman of Keuka Lake Winery told me, "Because of the climate, an enormous amount of winter work [is required]. What we're going to be doing after the leaves drop is taking the soil and hilling up (covering the root of the vine with dirt). They don't do this in France, or Germany, or California, but we have to do it here because the temperatures can get cold enough in the winter to kill the vines." And because Keuka Lake isn't as deep as Seneca, "Our average yield is probably half of most of the vineyards that you're going to visit on Seneca Lake," Mel said. "In some respects their soils are much more fertile, so they can carry a slightly heavier load, because it's slightly warmer. But in other respects they make different styles of wine."
White grapes are harvested first thing in the morning, which to folks in the Finger Lakes wine trade means anywhere from midnight to 8 a.m. A lot of these harvests happen as early as three and four in the morning, so the grapes are brought in cold. And it can't be raining—the vines pull water in, and the grapes become swollen and diluted.
The most telling sign of ripeness is brix, which detect the sugar content of aqueous solutions. Brix are read from grape samples taken from the field, beginning as early as mid-August and continuing until the day the grapes are harvested. The samples are collected at random—winemakers will choose a vineyard block, picking a random row of vines to walk down, reaching into clusters and pulling berries without looking. This is done until there are enough berries to squeeze a measurable amount of juice from. The juice is dripped onto a refractometer, held up to light, and a shadow line will cut through a scale built into the lens that reads sugar content.
In the Finger Lakes, grapes from vineyard blocks on the west sides of the lakes usually have higher brix because they're exposed to the hot, early morning sun. At Mel Goldman's Turkey Run block of riesling on the east side of Keuka Lake, the grapes were at 18.5 brix a week into October. The same riesling clone at his Goldman block on the west side of the lake was at 20 brix.
And then there's the question of availability. If it's Monday afternoon, and the weather says rain Tuesday, Bob's booked at another vineyard Wednesday, the brix on your riesling is 21.5 and you have a window to harvest on Thursday, and Bob's available, you schedule Bob and his harvester for first thing Thursday morning. Machine harvesting for the first time early one morning at Lakewood, I was told a machine is equivalent to 100 hand pickers. When you're dealing with the region's prized crop—riesling—or a block of vines from which you plan to make three or four thousand cases of wine (which requires seven to ten thousand gallons of juice), you are probably going to choose to harvest by machine. Hand harvesting not only takes longer, it leaves the window through which unwanted variables might come through wide open. Risk isn't a word used lightly in the Finger Lakes.
The Finger Lakes wine industry has grown exponentially since the Farm Winery Act. When the act was signed into law in 1976, the number of commercial privately owned vineyards could be counted on one hand. Today, the region boasts over 130 wineries.
"When my father took over the winery in the mid 80s," Fred Frank started, "he said, 'You couldn't give away a bottle of Finger Lakes Riesling in Manhattan.' And today, many of the wines are on allocation." Dan Mitchell, Hammondsport native and regional sales manager for Fox Run, shares in the enthusiasm. "Our number one selling wine in the highly-competitive NYC market is a dry vinifera red, Lemberger. Had you suggested to anyone in the Finger Lakes wine industry five years ago if a winery's number one seller in that market could be anything but riesling, it would have been laughed at."
Cornell, located at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake in Ithaca, has been a major contributor to the region's development. Jim Trezise, president of the New York Wine & Grape foundation, doesn't overlook this. "On a human level," he says, "the ever-increasing quality of the wines is attributable to two major factors: Cornell, and cooperation. Cornell is widely recognized as one of the world's top research universities for viticulture and enology, and works very closely with the industry. The other factor," he continued, "cooperation among winemakers who willingly share their secrets so quality can improve everywhere, is not duplicated in any other wine region I've ever visited."
"For now we're just riding the wave," Dave Whiting of Red Newt Cellars said when I asked the direction he thinks Finger Lakes wines will go, "and the beach is up there somewhere." We were in his hybrid driving south, heading from his winery for the west side of Seneca Lake. "But one of the things I think needs to happen," he continued, "is for the economics to work a little bit better. Ten years ago, when I released our first reserve label riesling and priced it at $20, people said, 'You can't charge that much for riesling.' I said, 'If I have a viable business model, you have to have part of your production in that price point, otherwise it's just not sustainable. The difference between a price point like that and one that's $12 or $13 makes the difference between barely surviving economically and having money that you can reinvest into your vineyards, your winery, and your business to really make better wine. So as the reputation for the region grows it means we can be less price sensitive."
I asked what he thought about the Finger Lakes' identity as a wine region. "Being able to create recognition with a wine that we do exceptionally well," he said, referring to the region as a whole. "The one way you look at it is, there are some wineries that focus on red wines in the region. Which is great. They're making really great wines. And sometimes folks will say, 'we shouldn't just be marketing riesling, because I'm doing this, whatever it might be, really well.' But then we can establish the reputation and recognition of the region on riesling, it creates people who recognize the region and are more likely to explore other things that we do."
Each night I spent in the Finger Lakes, I tasted more: Cabernet Franc, Lemberger, Gewürztraminer, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Vidal, and others. "You're sitting around a table with other wineries," John Martini said one night as dinner finished and our journey through Finger Lakes varietals continued, "but we're working together. We're all going to be recognized by the best quality wine and if one of us doesn't produce that it drags down everyone else."
The ambitious inventory of grapes isn't what I found most stunning about the Finger Lakes. The sense of camaraderie amongst winemakers is humbling, but that's not it either. It wasn't the gorgeous multicolored fall landscape or the calm with which winemakers adapt to the ever-unpredictable climate. It's not their passion, or the sons and daughters learning winemaking in schools across the globe anxious to come home and get to work in the Finger Lakes. What I found in the Finger Lakes is a wine region equally as rich in personalities as it is with grape varieties and an uncanny way that the winemaker's traits seem to make their way into each bottle.
Like Johannes and Peter, Anthony Road's wines are clean, focused, and elegant. Mel Goldman's humble, vibrant, and racy character are mimicked in the high acid whites and whimsical reds of his Keuka Lake Winery. Tom and Marti Macinski of Standing Stone are jovial, bright, and fun to be around. So are their wines. Chris Stamp of Lakewood Winery moved around his cellar with deftness and athleticism. He seemed almost possessed by the harvest, scientific in his approach, and incredibly focused. I tasted his wines. Ditto.
John Wagner, a soft-spoken and stoic life-long farmer, is the vineyard manager at his family-run winery of the same name. Sitting shotgun quietly in John's pickup, I recalled an image from earlier in the day; a farmer sitting high on his harvester overlooking the acreage of beautifully tended vines. With one and half ton bins built onto the side of his machine, John gently steered it so that it lined up with the tractor at the end of each row. As the bins tipped up toward the sky to empty, clouds parted and an unseasonably warm October sun threw its rays onto a pair of diesel machines. John brought the empty bins down and the clouds came back over the sun. He lined his harvester up in front of the next row and gave it gas.

New spear and bow-and-arrow angling regulations, announced by the Department of Natural Resources, will provide additional recreational opportunities starting in the 2012 fishing season.
The changes are a result of a multi-year review process begun by an internal DNR Fisheries Division workgroup designed to simplify spearing regulations. Changes in the regulations were made in concert with citizens on the Warmwater Resources Advisory Committee and signed in a fisheries order by DNR Director Rodney Stokes.
Beginning April 1, licensed anglers will be allowed to use spears and bows and arrows to take designated species of fish year-round, except on designated trout waters or as noted in the list of non-spearing waters. Gizzard shad, goldfish and grass carp have been added to the list of species.
The season for spearing northern pike and muskellunge through the ice will remain Dec. 1–March 15, but the number of waters prohibiting spearing for pike and muskellunge has been reduced from 40 to 30.
For additional information, please consult the 2012 Michigan Fishing Guide, which will be available on line at www.michigan.gov/fishingguide or license dealers in late February.

TS Gabrielle downgraded to depression
4 areas being monitored by NHC
Tropical Storm Gabrielle was downgraded to a depression Thursday morning.
The tropics were active Thursday as the National Hurricane Center was tracking four areas, including Gabrielle.
None of them appears to threaten southeast Louisiana or south Mississippi.
Gabrielle has become very disorganized as it interacts with land.
As of Thursday morning, the Hurricane Center said the low-level center, which was poorly defined, was located south of the Mona Passage near Puerto Rico.
The storm is being affected by some westerly vertical wind shear, although the shear appears to be too light to have such a drastic effect on the cyclone.
None of the center's data suggests tropical storm force winds are occurring.
The NHC was tracking three other areas Thursday morning.
One area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms, associated with a surface trough, extended from the northeast Leeward islands northeastward over the Atlantic waters for several hundred miles.
Any development of that system will be slow due to its proximity to Tropical Depression Gabrielle and strong upper-level winds. The system has a 20 percent chance of development into a tropical cyclone over the next two days.
A second area being monitored is over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. It has a 30 percent chance over the next two days of developing into a tropical cyclone.
Cloudiness and showers have increased and further development of the system is possible before it moves inland along the coast of Mexico on Friday.
The third area associated with a tropical wave is located about 450 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. The system, which has a 10 percent chance of development, is showing signs of organization, the NHC said.
However, the system will struggle to develop any further due to the dry air it will interact with, the center said. Not only the dry air, but conditions are forecast by the NHC to become very unfavorable in the next couple of days.
In Africa, a tropical wave is being monitored by the NHC but doesn't have any percentage chances of development yet because it is still over land.
However, in the next couple of days, development is possible.

BREA – Police found a 25-year-old man shot in the stomach Saturday night and he later died at the hospital.
Authorities said they responded around 9:40 p.m. to a call of a gunshot in the 300 block of South Cedar Avenue.
When they arrived, the man was lying in the middle of the street with a gunshot wound to his stomach, police Sgt. Jim Griffin said in a news release.
Officials said the man was taken to UCI Medical Center, where he died.
Police located the home where they believe the shooting took place on the same block and took three people to the police station for questioning, authorities said.
Detectives believe the man is connected to the house, but they do not believe he lived there, Griffin said.
Officials said they are still investigating and authorities are in the process of getting a search warrant for the house.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Brea Police Department at 714-990-7624.

MOUNT PLEASANT, N.Y. – A fine dining spot in the Mount Pleasant hamlet of Pocantico Hills has made the short-list for one of the James Beard Foundation's top culinary honors.
Blue Hill at Stone Barns, a high-end farm-to-table restaurant, already has a bunch of awards under its belt, including one from JBF in 2015.
The late James Beard was a champion of American cuisine and a cookbook author. His foundation was formed in 1986 to celebrate, nurture and honor chefs and "other leaders making America's food culture more delicious, diverse, and sustainable for everyone," its website says.
Blue Hill opened in 2004 at the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, a working four-season farm and educational center 30 miles north of New York City.
(For GPS and mailing purposes, its address is 360 Bedford Road, Tarrytown.)
The restaurant says its mission is to "create a consciousness about the effect of everyday food choices."
It sources its produce and meats from the surrounding fields and pastures, as well as other local farms.
(Look out its window at the bucolic scenery and you might see tomorrow's dinner waddling by. Think chickens, ducks and piggies.)
The intent of using such nearby ingredients is to highlight the "abundant resources of the Hudson Valley," it says.
And in keeping with that philosophy, Blue Hill doesn't have a set menu.
Guests are instead offered the multi-taste Grazing, Pecking, Rooting menu featuring "the best offerings from the field and market."
The nominees were unveiled Wednesday, March 15, in Los Angeles at a breakfast hosted by Susan Ungaro and Mitchell Davis, the foundation's president and executive vice president respectively.
Blue Hills was nominated in the category covering restaurants in operation for five years or more that have demonstrated high standards of hospitality and service.
Ungaro said that nominees were picked in nearly 60 categories including Restaurant and Chef, Restaurant Design, and Media.
The chef and restaurant award winners will be announced on Monday, May 1, at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
The winners of the 2017 James Beard Media Awards will be announced on Tuesday, April 25, at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers in New York City.
All JBF Award winners receive a certificate and a medallion engraved with the James Beard Foundation Awards insignia. There are no cash prizes.
Blue Hill spokeswoman Irene Hamburger said Wednesday that the restaurant preferred "not to comment" on the nomination until after the awards ceremony.

HOME RUN DERBY: Yoenis Cespedes steals show, beats Bryce Harper in final round
NEW YORK -- Yoenis Cespedes won baseball's Home Run Derby on Monday night, becoming the first player left out of the All-Star game to take home the crown.
The Oakland Athletics slugger beat Bryce Harper 9-8 in the final round at reconfigured Citi Field, hitting the decisive drive with five swings to spare.
In only his second major league season, the outfielder from Cuba dropped his bat and raised his arm in triumph when he sent his 32nd homer of the night some 455 feet to deep center field, where it caromed off the back wall of the black batter's eye. He was swarmed by the American League All-Stars near the third base line.
The final addition to the field, Cespedes was the fourth player not selected for the All-Star game to compete in the event.
Right off the bat, he proved he belonged and put on quite a show with family in the stands. Cespedes hit a whopping 17 home runs in the first round -- more than any other player managed in their first two trips to the plate.
That sent him straight into the finals, though he added six long balls in round two for good measure. Some of his early drives were particularly impressive, too.
Cespedes hit about a half-dozen balls into the upper deck in left, never reached by anyone in a game, and banged another couple of shots off the restaurant windows in the corner just below.
The 20-year-old Harper, wearing shiny gold spikes as his father pitched to him, hammered eight homers in all three rounds. But the Washington Nationals phenom couldn't keep up with Cespedes.
Colorado outfielder Michael Cuddyer and Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis, who leads the majors with 37 homers, were eliminated in the second round. Davis tied Reggie Jackson (1969) for the AL record before the All-Star break.

In a webinar, advisors were provided a chance to explore changes in tax law that included provisions that end at the year's close, as well as changes made during the course of the year and how to provide advice to clients on tax planning measures.
The webinar, titled "2012 Tax Law Update—Changes and Opportunities for Individual and Business Clients," was offered by CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business, and given by CPA and attorney Mark Luscombe, CCH's principal analyst. It was an extensive and wide-ranging seminar that dealt with everything from the ramifications of the 2001 and 2003 Tax Act sunsets to tax provisions of health care reform and tax proposals by both presidential candidates.
Luscombe called the scenario awaiting tax planners "Taxmageddon," because of the numerous factors involved and the uncertainty surrounding any elements of tax law that might or might not change thanks to congressional inaction and the upcoming election. He pointed out that there are nearly 70 tax provisions that expired at the end of 2011 alone, with varying chances for extension.
That, of course, is not the only dilemma—or group of dilemmas—facing advisors as they seek to prepare their clients for the upcoming tax season and days to come. Other factors at play include the approaching sunset of the Bush tax cuts and other tax laws, the phasing in of health care reform's tax provisions, the fiscal cliff and the impact of any potential new policies, and interpretations of old policies, on clients' taxes.
The sunset of tax cuts and the move to higher tax brackets and lower exemptions, suggested Luscombe, might make it advisable for clients—both individuals and business owners—to accelerate income and get payments this year, if possible, rather than holding them till 2013. The reverse is true about deductions; postponing them till 2013 could help shield income against the higher brackets.
Capital gains can be harvested this year as well, to take advantage of the lower maximum tax rate on net capital gain for noncorporate taxpayers. As long as the sale is bona fide and the proceeds are received this year the realization of gains can be accelerated. And, since there is no wash sale rule on claiming gains, clients can sell capital assets, realize the gains, and immediately rebuy the assets, thus establishing a new tax basis with the amount of the purchase price.
Even actions like adopting a child might be better moved into 2012 before the adoption tax credit falls by $1,000 and the refundable element is eliminated. The same goes for education, since the maximum allowable contribution to a Coverdell education savings account (ESA) will fall from $2,000 back to $500 if not extended. The alternative minimum tax (AMT) offers a huge potential for increasing clients' tax bills, but absent action from Congress, will capture a massive number of additional taxpayers—an additional 27 million will find themselves paying the AMT. While the exemption amounts in 2011 were $48,450 for unmarried taxpayers filing individually and $74,450 for married taxpayers filing jointly and for surviving spouses, currently the exemptions in 2012 fall to $33,750 for unmarried taxpayers and $45,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly and surviving spouses.
With many opportunities to anticipate tax changes come risks as well. Sunsetting provisions get treated as if they never existed, said Luscombe, which creates additional complications. In many cases there's no guidance on how such things will be treated. Gift and estate taxes fall into this category, since there is a possibility that if someone gifts $5 million in assets this year and the provision sunsets, there could possibly be a clawback into an eventually taxable estate.
Another such provision is the tax credit for employer-provided child care, which will disappear at the end of the year if not extended. While employers who terminate child care services altogether might have to recapture some of the credit, Luscombe suggested they might instead want to consider spending less on child care or charging employees more for the services, which then could be at least partially funded through a child care flexible spending account.
There was much, much more—meaning that advisors, clients and their tax advisors will have their hands full in accommodating all the possible permutations of the tax situation for both individuals and businesses regardless of the outcome of the election. Many aspects of the tax landscape will change no matter who ends up in charge in January.

CollegeHumor Launches Bout, a Photo Game App
CollegeHumor today is launching a social photo-taking game for iPhone called Bout, where players compete by submitting photos that answer funny prompts.
In a game of Bout, one player chooses a prompt like, "Something you wouldn't want to find in your bed," or "You'd be surprised I own," and friends respond by taking or finding a photo. Once five entries are submitted, the original player judges them and awards in-game points to the winner.
Bout is the first game for CollegeHumor, which is a division of IAC, and it was built in collaboration with independent game developer Awkward Hug. CollegeHumor writers will be contributing funny prompts, including a daily global Bout that all users can join.
"Usually we have the set-up and the punchline. In this, we're just giving the set-up, and letting other people provide the punchlines," said CollegeHumor co-founder Ricky Van Veen in an interview Wednesday.
"There's nothing people like more than to let other people know how funny they are," he added. "If we set it up and have someone else spike it, that's a win."
Bout judging is entirely subjective — much like in board games such as Apples to Apples and Cards Against Humanity — so it's all about figuring what will appeal to your friends.
One issue with Bout may be that, because there's no way to create new challenges with strangers, there's not very much to do within the app until you spam five friends and get them to download the app, as well.
On that front, Bout is already set up with ways to share little summaries of completed games directly to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram (as in the screenshot above).
Bout also opens up a new business model for CollegeHumor. "Most of our business is ad-driven, but we plan to make money from in-app purchases," Van Veen said.
Coincidentally, Van Veen will be a speaker at our Dive Into Media conference in Southern California in a couple weeks, so we'll have to check in with him there about Bout's progress.

Lee University's Office of Veteran Affairs helps eligible students navigate the process of obtaining veterans benefits. Lee is approved for the certification of students eligible for educational assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs and is enrolled in the Yellow Ribbon Program.
New students who have not used any VA educational assistance programs should apply for benefits.
Those who have not used any of their Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty Educational Assistance (Chapter 30) benefits will need an original or certified copy of their Member 4 of their DD Form 214 to send to the VA.
Reservists who have not used any of their Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve Educational Assistance (Chapter 1606) benefits will need the original DD Form 2384, or Notice of Basic Eligibility from their Reserve Unit.
New Chapter 30, 33, 1606, 1607 recipients will need to complete a VA Form 22-1990.
Dependents who have not received Dependents' Educational Assistance (Chapter 35) benefits will need to apply using VA Form 22-5490 or provide a Certificate of Eligibility.

Lee is required to report any change that affects the receipt of VA educational benefits. Students are required to report changes to the Office in order to avoid an overpayment.
If a course is dropped/added or withdrawn, inform the Veteran Affairs Office immediately so a VA Form 22-1999b can be submitted.
This program offers employment to those attending school at least three-quarter time and receiving educational benefits. Applications can be filled out at the Office of Veteran Affairs on campus or any VA facility (VA Hospital or VA Regional Office). Payment is hourly at minimum wage.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby could travel around the world before his first birthday if, as expected, they travel as a family to Australia and New Zealand next year.
The young Prince William made the same trip when he accompanied his parents on their six-week tour of Australasia in 1983, staying with his nanny on a ranch in the outback where his parents visited him as often as they could.
The Duke and Duchess visited Canada for their first joint foreign tour in 2011, then visited the Far East last year. Because Australia and New Zealand, together with Canada, make up the largest of the Commonwealth realms, the couple seem certain to put them next on their itinerary.
The choice of Australia for the new baby's first official trip abroad would not only make up for the fact that the country has had to wait so long to see the Duchess, but would also have the benefit of shoring up support for the monarchy in a country where republicanism is never far from the political agenda.
Before then, the Duke and Duchess have a more pressing matter to attend to, that of registering their son's birth.
They have 42 days to register the prince's birth at Westminster Register Office, though the registrar will travel to Kensington Palace to complete the formalities before a birth certificate is issued. The next date in the baby's diary will be the christening, which is likely to happen after the Royal family's annual summer break at Balmoral, making a date in September or October likely.
The christening is likely to take place in the Music Room at Buckingham Palace, where Prince William and previous generations of the Royal family have been baptised.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is expected to officiate at the ceremony, and the baby prince will wear a christening robe of Honiton lace lined with satin, which is a replica of a robe made in 1841 for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, and which was used for more than 30 royal christenings up to and including Prince William. The replica was made in 2008 by the Queen's dressmaker, Angela Kelly, because the original had become too fragile.
The Duchess and the Duke, who has two weeks' statutory paternity leave from the RAF, are expected to spend some time at their London residence in Kensington Palace before then, but will probably spend most of their time with the Duchess's parents in Bucklebury, Berks.
The Queen leaves for Balmoral on Friday and the Prince of Wales has a busy program for the rest of July, meaning that the Duke and Duchess will turn to the Middletons for company and support as they learn the ropes of parenthood.
The Queen has extended an invitation for the Duchess and the Middletons to stay at Balmoral, and it remains a possibility that they may spend some time there in the coming weeks.
The Duke and Duchess will also have to turn their thoughts to their son's schooling. The Duke is likely to favour putting his son's name down for Eton, where he and his brother, Prince Harry, were educated, but the baby's primary school will be dictated by the Duke's next career move.
With his tour of duty at RAF Valley in Wales finishing in September, the Duke has already decided what he will do next, though he has not made it public knowledge.
He will either stay in the RAF but move to another base, transfer to another branch of the Armed Forces, or end his military career to take up full-time royal duties.
The location of the couple's new home when they leave their rented farmhouse on Anglesey, which will depend upon the Duke's next choice of career, will determine which primary school the prince attends.
If the Duke opts for a London-based military posting or full-time royal duties, he might want to send his son to his primary school, Wetherby pre-preparatory in Notting Hill, where the fees are pounds 5,490 per term.
The Duchess went to St Andrew's prep school in Pangbourne, Berkshire, a few miles from her family home, before boarding at Marlborough College in Wiltshire.
