My Trip to Burgundy
The wine industry is an amazing industry to work in. Wine is made in so many places throughout the world. We have the ability to travel around talking to growers and winemakers to learn more and more about refining our craft. One of the many perks.
Last week I was lucky enough to travel to France with Brian Talley and explore the Mecca of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Burgundy, France. I have been visited Burgundy before but not like this. This time I felt that I was really able to ingrain myself in the area, the vineyards, the wines, and the culture. We were staying in the middle of Burgundy at the Francois Frères house in St. Romain, a small town outside of Beaune. Francois Freres are our main supplier of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay barrels at Talley. The Francois' are such an amazing family and their hospitality is unlike anyone I have met.
From St. Roamin we traveled to Domaine Jacques-Frederic (Freddy) Mugnier in Chambolle- Musigny. He is a very humble man with a masterful winemaking touch. I absolutely loved his wines. We were lucky enough to barrel taste his 2012's and taste through most of his 2011's. He even brought out a 1993 Chambolle-Musigny that blew everyone's mind. For its age, it still had great youth and energy.
From Chambolle we would travel to Gevrey-Chambertin for a visit to Domaine Fourrier. We were able to taste through a vast majority of their 2011's. Great wines with amazing structure. These wines will have no problem ageing for years to come. From Gevrey-Chambertin we traveled south to the illustrious home of white Burgundy Puligny-Montrachet and a visit to the famed Domaine Leflaive. Leflaive has been one of my favorite Chardonnay producers for a while now and it was amazing to be able to visit and taste through their 2011's. The depth of flavor, finesse, and searing acidity leaves no doubt in your mind as to why Domaine Leflaive is one of the greatest Chardonnay producers in the world.
Our last visit was to the jack of all trades Domaine Comte Lafon. I say that because owner/ winemaker Dominique Lafon not only produces amazing Meursault and Montrachet but just as amazing Volnay and Monthelie. It's pretty unique that Lafon produces red and white Burgundy especially at the quality that they do. His wines have an amazing intensity but a beautiful elegance that drifts throughout the palette. I would say Dominique was the most open winemaker we spoke to. It didn't matter how technical or intrusive the question was, he answered it. I have to say I probably learned the most speaking with Dominique. Looking back at my notes, Most of them involve things he said regarding the way he likes to make wine. My favorite topic was how to achieve the optimal amount of "noble" reduction in his white Burgundies. A technique that has eluded me in the past yet one that I would love to figure out because I find this characteristic irresistible in Chardonnays.
My Burgundian travels reminded me why Burgundy is the Mecca of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It is the mother land when it comes to these grapes and there really is no place like it. As we were leaving Domain Mugnier I asked Freddy Mugnier what advice he could give to a young winemaker such as myself. He stood silent for a moment until his eyes lit up saying, "I always accomplish more when I do less." The perfect advice that I will never forget
Bottling Pinot Noir and Single Vineyard Chardonnay
It's that time of year again. The winery seems to move into hibernation mode after harvest, with the 2012 wines aging in barrel and the vines dormant. And then the bottling line gets started up and the clanking of bottles begins. To be honest, bottling days don't usually rank high as a favorite winemaking activity among winemakers and production staff. The stringent quality control guidelines, repetitive work, and endless bottling line repairs and adjustments just can't compete with the fun of harvest days, fermentations, tastings, blend trials, and all that other good stuff we get to call work.

The bright side of bottling is that we are always excited to see our finished wines going into bottle. It is the point when the wines leave our hands to begin the bottle aging process and eventually be released to the public. Last week was an especially enjoyable bottling run because we got to see the delicious 2011 Single Vineyard Chardonnays get bottled! This week was equally as enjoyable as we bottled the 2011 Estate Pinot Noir which by all indications, will be a great bottle of wine.
We are also excited to announce that we have added a new Single Vineyard bottling to the already great lineup of Rosemary's, Rincon, and Oliver's Chardonnays. The 2011 Monte Sereno Chardonnay comes from our smallest vineyard, located just a couple miles west of the winery in the Arroyo Grande appellation. The 2011 bottling is a blend of the two blocks comprising both clone 548 and clone 4. The finished wine showcases beautiful tropical aromas and a rich, creamy texture on the palate. We only made two barrels of this delicious wine, so if you can get your hands on it you'll be in for a treat!
Winter at the Winery
It's winter time, which might seem like a slow time around the winery, but that's not the case. In reality, some of the most important activities in our winegrowing happen now.
In the vineyard, this is when we prune. Critical decisions that will affect the crop for this season, as well as subsequent years, are made right now. It all depends on how many buds we leave on the vine. More buds mean more potential crop, but less vigorous growth. These decisions are made on a block-by-block basis depending on previous growth and our production goals. This is an area where quality, focus and attention to detail really pay off, and I'm proud of our vineyard team. To see a video of pruning, check out our pinot noir pruning video .
In the winery we are focused on nother critical activities. One of these activities is our assessment of the quality of the previous vintage. Eric Johnson, Nicole Pope, Travis Monk and I conducted a complete tasting of every wine we produced from the 2012 vintage (more than 150 separate lots) on January 14 and 15. As we suspected, quality is excellent across the board with juicy approachable wines reminiscent of the highly successful 2005 vintage.
It is during these blind tastings that we first recognize special wines that are likely candidates for our single vineyard bottlings. Last January, we discovered how much we enjoyed the 2011 Monte Sereno Vineyard Chardonnay and East Rincon Vineyard Pinot Noir; so much so that we decided to release these as separate Single Vineyard Selections for the first time ever. We bottled only two barrels of each of these—so I anticipate that they will sell out immediately upon release. Enjoy!
Watch Bottling at Talley Vineyards
Here is a quick look at the 2011 Rosemary's Chardonnay traveling through the bottling line.
A Great Year
With a little over a week left before we celebrate the coming of 2013, I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year! While it is not my style to get sentimental and reminisce about highlights of the year gone past, 2012 is a little bit different. In the most succinct terms possible, it really was a great year.
As it pertains to my life and what I'm passionate about, two amazing things happened this year. First, and most importantly, this is the year I married my amazing wife, Erin. On April 14th, the Talley family was gracious enough to allow us to host our small, intimate wedding ceremony in the barrel room. After six years of dating and now over six months of marrage, I am happy to be able to tell everyone that married life is great!
Secondly, 2012 was an awesome vintage for just about every region of California, especially here on the central coast. While I am proud to have been a part of Talley Vineyards for what has been a really excellent string of vintages (2007-2012), this year is special because it is the first year in a while with both high quality and above-average yields. Some of you may know that I dabble in wine production. This is the second year that the Talleys have allowed us to tend a section of vines in Edna Valley and make a small batch of wine. I, my wife, and co-workers, Mike and Ken, harvested twice the fruit as last year and so far we think the wine may be twice as good! Furthermore, now that some of the wines in the barrel room have had a few months of age, we are really starting to see that the Talley chardonnays and pinot noirs are going to be very special wines.
For a wine geek like myself, there is no better feeling than knowing that I can stock up on the 2012 vintage when they come out and be assured that the quality of the wine is going to reflect the way I feel about the year in which the fruit was grown. Since we have some time before those wines come out, I'm going to go back to my first vintage here at Talley and enjoy a bottle of 2007 Rincon Vineyard Pinot Noir for Christmas. For the rest of you, I suggest that you pull out a great bottle and share some stories with loved ones about the special things that happened in your lives this year. Cheers!
Harvest is Finally Over
Harvest is finally over. Well almost over. Theoretically harvest is over because there are no more early mornings and long work days but the lasting effects of harvest are still present.
|Looking inside a barrel with malolatic fermentation
Here at Talley we have a certain affinity with native fermentation both primary and secondary. Primary fermentation is just about wrapped up and we are now beginning secondary fermentation called malolactic fermentation. Simply put, we allow the native lactic acid bacteria to convert the malic acid in the wine to lactic acid. I like to say that malic acid is the apple acid and lactic acid is the milk acid. Malic acid is more acidic and lactic acid is smoother and is less acidic. Because we do not inoculate, our wines, our secondary fermentations tends to take longer. We allow this to happen in the majority of our wines excluding out Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Bishops Peak Chardonnay. The majority of our Chardonnays go through a very slow secondary fermentation with most not finishing until late spring and in some years, early summer.
|Special fermentation bung allows gas to escape without letting air in.
So why are we doing this? Well first off we want the malic acid converted to lactic acid for the mouth feel. Secondly, we let malolactic fermentation happen intentionally so it doesn't happen unintentionally in the bottle when it gets to your house. If you have ever had an "active" fermentation occur in bottle, you know it is not a fun wine to drink. Stale beer comes to mind when I think of this.
I didn't write this to teach everyone about secondary fermentation but to explain that once the harvest is over, it's not really over.
Love the Weather
I often tell people that you can't be a farmer if you don't love the weather. More precisely, I mean that we must accept the fact that the weather is beyond our control and we adjust our schedule and practices accordingly. It's important to keep this in mind as we ride the roller coaster that is harvest.
This week, we're experiencing our annual Indian Summer—that last bit of warm weather that finishes harvest. We've had some of the warmest weather of the year during this period, with temperatures in the high 90s. This is due to high pressure moving over our area and the presence of Santa Ana conditions—a warm offshore flow as opposed to our typical pattern of cool onshore breezes. This mini heat wave came right on the heels of a rainstorm last week that dumped just over an inch of rain in the Arroyo Grande Valley.
At this point, everything on our ranches has been harvested with the exception of some chardonnay in the Rincon Vineyard, which we will finish on Monday. The other exception is about three tons of sauvignon blanc in Oliver's Vineyard that we will attempt to make into a sweet dessert wine. The rain we received last week created perfect conditions for botrytis cinerea, often referred to as the "noble rot." Botrytis is a fungus that grows ongrapes due to wet conditions and which causes the grapes to shrivel and the sugar and acid to become extremely concentrated. This is undesirable in most of the wines we produce, and we typically go to great lengths to prevent it, including leaf removal and thinning of infected grape clusters. Botrytis is critical for the production of white dessert wines and sauvignon blanc is one of the white grape varieties most suited to make this wine. Consequently, we decided to leave those grapes on the vine with the hope to let botrytis grow and to make our second ever late harvest sauvignon blanc. The only other time we did this was in 1994, when we had a very rainy harvest. That wine was legendary.
So here's another way of expressing my "learn to love the weather" mantra: when you have lemons, make lemonade. When you have rain, make dessert wine!
In Case You Missed It...
This past summer Brian Talley packed his bags and set out to meet with some of the top food and wine writers in the country to share our 25 year portfolio of chardonnays. This precarious mission to meet with these most discerning reviewers and host a retrospective tasting has proven to be an incredible success. Over the past few months, numerous articles have surfaced in magazines and around the web about the true age worthiness of our wines. One of the most flattering in our recent accolades was when Food and Wine Magazine named Talley Vineyards as one of "The World's Most Trustworthy Wineries". We've been regularly sharing this press with our friends on Facebook, but just in case you missed it, here are a few exciting highlights of what the experts had to say:
I would confidently put any of the Talley wines toe-to-toe with Grand Cru French Burgundy. Talley's wines definitely made a statement; not all California Chardonnays are equal, and California Chardonnays crafted in a classical style and grown in cooler climates deserve a second look. They also merit a place in your cellar, to be savored today and twenty years from now.- Katie Kelley Bell, Forbes
Talleys wines don't have to be old to taste good. We also tasted five delicious Chardonnays that were brand new. The important thing about these wines is that they have generous acidity and restrained fruit. In other words, they are far more reminiscent of a European wine. - Austin Chronicle
Made in a Burgundian-style with an emphasis on the vineyards and creating a true sense of place, instead of manipulation in the winery, Talley Vineyards succeeds in delivering a lively white filled with citrus and stone fruit notes, balanced with layers of spice and nuttiness. Enjoy a bottle young, and then let one age for a few years and you'll see the flavors develop into rich caramel notes while maintaining the acidity and brightness of the fruit. - Hayley Hamilton
The two best surprises came from the oldest bottle we tasted, the 1994 Talley's Vineyard, as well as the 2001 Rosemary's Vineyard which both maintained their consistency in structure, balance and acidity, proving that these wines could easily continue to age an additional number of years. – D Magazine
- Talley remains one of the great estates in California that has yet to be fully discovered. As a result, prices remain exceedingly fair considering the quality of what goes into the bottle. - Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate
Harvest Continues Nonstop
Wow, it's already October, which means we have been harvesting for over a month now! Almost daily picks of Pinot Noir kept us busy all September, with the sorting table and destemmer going nonstop. The winery has been at capacity, with fermentors of grape must in every open corner, and hand punchdowns happening nonstop. Now that many of the Pinot fermentations have been finishing up, we've been able to start pressing dry lots and racking them to barrel, where they can finish malo-lactic fermentation and give us a chance to start focusing on the Chardonnay.
With last weekend's heat wave, many of our Rosemary's and Oliver's Chardonnay blocks got just the push they needed to finish ripening. As the seemingly endless bins of Chardonnay arrive we will send them straight to the presses to be whole cluster pressed and then put straight to barrel for fermentation.
During hot weather weeks like this, we really see what a difference it makes that our vineyard crews hand harvest at night. On big pick days the crews will start anywhere from 8 PM to midnight and continue until sunrise, delivering beautiful, cool fruit that's ready to be processed at the winery. Big thanks to the vineyard crews for all their hard work and crazy hours to get us the best fruit possible!
2012 Dream Harvest--Perfect weather, a great team and the right tools
So far harvest 2012 looks like a dream come true. After the vintages of 2010 and 2011, which featured excellent quality, but lower yields, 2012 looks to be one of those very special years that combines exceptional quality and good production, especially for pinot noir. Best of all, the weather forecast for the next few weeks looks just like what we've had for the past two months--highs in the mid to upper 70s.
While weather is important to the quality of the finished wines, the key role that our production team plays can't be understated. Winemaker Eric Johnson has been with us 5 years and has come to know the characteristics that make each of our vineyards special and unique. He is ably assisted by Assistant Winemaker Nicole Pope, Cellarmaster Ignacio Zarate (who just celebrated 30 years in our family farming operations), Nicole Morris and a great team of Cal Poly interns.
The vineyard team is charged with farming our vineyards and ensuring that the grapes are harvested as gently and efficiently as possible. This team is lead by Vineyard Manager Kevin Wilkinson and Travis Monk, who will assume the role of Vineyard Manager after this harvest. Longtime Vineyard Foreman Daniel Martinez leads a dedicated and experienced vineyard crew during late night and early morning harvests to ensure that the grapes arrive at the winery early and cool.
The final element that will make the wines of 2012 so special is the deployment of the right tools to capture all of the potential quality of the vintage. These include a state-of-the-art destemmer that very gently removes the grapes from the stems, vibrating tables that allow for careful sorting of clusters and individual berries, and a stainless steel basket press that gently extracts the wine from the skins.
Perfect weather, a great team, and all the right tools--it all adds up to what I believe will be a very special vintage.

Dying seemed to be a good career move for Michael Jackson. He's got a new single, a new album on the way, and a feature-length documentary set to open later this month. The documentary DVD should be on sale just in time for Christmas. His funeral was held at a sports arena that holds 20,000 people.
But there are still some grassroots efforts to make sure the King of Pop isn't forgotten. One of those is Thrill the World, a global attempt to set a world record for the number of people around the world dancing to Jackson's "Thriller" at the same time. (Is that really a world-record category?) The local part of the event will take place at the pedestrian mall between Andy Holt Library and the Humanities Building on the University of Tennessee campus on Saturday, Oct. 22, at 8:30 p.m. Registration starts at 6 p.m.; practice sessions will be held at Dance Dimensions on Kingston Pike on Thursday, Oct. 22, and Friday, Oct. 23.

88% of the CEO
Cathy Nash
"Not very challenging work"
Pros – Employees were generally friendly, compensation was good for the geographic area (Flint, MI), and there were fun events taking place from time to time.
Cons – Managers were more likely to hire their former colleagues from other banks than to promote from within, so it was somewhat discouraging.
Advice to Senior Management – Management should focus more on development of talented employees and providing opportunities for career development. Most of the managers I saw hired were from other banks. Most career movement in the bank seemed to be lateral.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Tried to be new school, but they had too many oldschoolers running things"
Pros – positive atmosphere, long time clients bring a homey atmosphere
Cons – They were very nonsales oriented until the 2000's. They tried several different systems that didn't seem to work. Upper management was just too old school.
Advice to Senior Management – Recognize employees based on merit and how much profit they bring to the company, not on how many widgets they sell
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Typical bank"
Pros – Ability to have a positive affect on customers, the community and employees.
Cons – Unrealistic loan goals and micromanagement.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Great Management, Great learning opporunities"
Pros – Training, Growth opportunities, Management listens and uses your thoughts,
Cons – Pay, strict, busy work, All minimal cons overall great company
"Wish I was still there"
Pros – Great hours and good benefits
Cons – Pay freezes and old computers
Advice to Senior Management – List to the staff - suggestions
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"Great Work Life Balance!!!"
Pros – Great schedule and work life balance. Not a big corporation like some of the other banks so not a ton of micro management. Good amount of paid time off and treated very respectfully.
Cons – Incentive is not as agressive as I thought especially for how sales oriented they want us to be.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"It has been stressful, overwhelming and unsatisfying."
Pros – Clients are friendly and the contests are enjoyable.
Cons – Travel for meetings an hour away is rediculous.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Very Employee Friendly."
Pros – The Training process is second to none! The Trainers are also great ppl! I really love that they really do listen to their employees thoughts. When you do good things they dont go unnoticed!
Cons – They have cut back on raises. And made it more difficult to reach incentives. It is very hard sometimes to reach goals or complete all of your weekly sales stuff when you are only part-time. They limit their full-time employees and hire mainly part-time staff. Which is very sad considering the great things this company can do.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"This company treats its managers with a very condescending tone."
Pros – It is a place to work. That is about the best thing I can say. There are some very good people who work for Citizens but management is a mess.
Cons – They say they want people with sales backgrounds and then have managers with zero sales experience micro-manage the sales process. No CRM program exists so they require a series of Excel wooksheets to do the job. Very in efficient.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop making people sit on the floor and speaking to them as if they were 4 years old. Whoever came up with that idea needs to go. It does nothing but make people feel disrespected and breeds resentment. The message is lost because everyone is thinking, "Why are we sitting on the floor?" If you want people to behave professionally treat them professionally.
"Citizens, a Challenged Survivor"
Pros – Management has sought to create a vision of a company that it has genuine aspirations to become. It believes in doing the right things from a credit perspective and John Schwab is one of the best credit minds that I've ever worked with. I believe the company will be a survivor of the current credit environment.
Cons – In this environment, communication has been very poor. Staff members disappear without any formal announcement of their departure, informal communication is rampant. We're based in a market that has/will see a deep recession and slow recovery. That side of our work isn't a great deal of fun.
Advice to Senior Management – Identify a vision for Citizens that is robust enough to be valid in this environment and will remain so during the eventual recovery. It is difficult to have faith when you're told that a dividend cut is enough to help us weather the storm, then that we must eliminate the dividend to avoid having to raise capital, then to raise capital anyway making "our balance sheet bullet proof", then taking TARP funds to add even more liquidity. While each of these moves may have been necessary and good, it makes it difficult to believe that senior management knows what we need. Create the vision and proactively drive the company toward it, rather than being so reactionary.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Maestro Victor DeRenzi, who recently celebrated his 30th anniversary as artistic director of Sarasota Opera, has brought back a favorite story and performer to kick off the fall season.
Giuseppe Verdi's "Rigoletto," based on Victor Hugo's play "Le Roi s'Amuse," was the first opera performed in the newly renovated Sarasota Opera House when it reopened in 2008. "Rigoletto" returns to the same stately venue Friday and will run through Nov. 12.
Italian born baritone Marco Nisticò, a Sarasota favorite since 2008 when he debuted as Figaro in "Il Barbiere di Siviglia," and who was most recently seen as the Consul Sharpless in last fall's "Madama Butterfly," will make his role debut as the titular court jester.
Sarasota audiences will also know Nisticò, who lives near DeRenzi in Manhattan, from his performances in four other Verdi operas: Giacomo in "Giovanna d'Arco" (Winter 2010), Giorgio Germont in "La Traviata" (Fall 2009), Rodrigue in "Don Carlos" (Winter 2009) and Francisco Foscari in "I due Foscari" (Winter 2008).
"Maestro DeRenzi has given wonderful roles throughout the years," Nisticò said while in between rehearsals in Sarasota.
"My first Verdi role was here
and it was an incredible experience."
As for "Rigoletto," soprano Maria D'Amato, Desdemona in last season's "Otello," will sing the innocent jester's daughter Gilda.
Mezzo-soprano Heather Johnson and tenor Hak Soo Kim, both appeared in the recent production of "La Cenerentola," will make their respective role debuts as the sexy Maddalena and the dirty old man Duke of Mantua.
"Rigoletto" follows the hunchbacked jester as he tries to protect Gilda from bad boys only to learn she's in love with the deceitful Duke.
The opera teems with seduction, betrayal, curses, vendettas and a paid assassin, ending in the tragic death of the vengeful Rigoletto's daughter Gilda.
"He's a very complex character so it's a very human character," Nisticò said of Rigoletto. "He appears in the beginning to be mean as he manipulates the court to be against each other, but then you see him in a completely different light with his daughter."
The fall season marks the start for Richard Russell as the new executive director of Sarasota Opera, effective Nov. 1. He was Sarasota Opera's director of marketing from 2005 to 2010 and spent the past three seasons as General Director of Opera New Jersey in Princeton.
"I have known Richard for many years, as a musician and administrator," DeRenzi said in a statement.
"Richard understands and believes in Sarasota Opera's mission. He is respected by our staff, patrons and supporters who know him. Richard's combination of artistic and business knowledge as well as his integrity will be invaluable to Sarasota Opera and our community."
Susan Danis, longtime executive director of the Sarasota Opera, was recently appointed general director and chief executive officer of Florida Grand Opera.

Julianne Hough's Golden Globes Wardrobe Malfunction
Hough Had a Rough Night Following The Golden Globes
Good thing dancer Julianne Hough has such a banging body -- she ended up showing a lot of it at a Golden Gobes after party last night.
The two-time "Dancing with the Stars" champion had worn a princessy Monique Lhullier gown to the Golden Globes event (prompting her longtime beau, Ryan Seacrest to comment -- on air -- that she looked "stunning" and "absolutely beautiful") but changed into a super-form-fitting, pale pink satin Jenny Packman number for the after parties.
While busting a move on the dancefloor at the InStyle magazine party at the Beverly Hilton, Hough ripped the already high slits in the front of the dress, revealing a whole lotta leg.
After posting the above photo of the collateral damage, the "Rock of Ages" star Tweeted, "Ummm I think I may have danced too hard.... Eeek!!!!... I love to dance regardless of how expensive a dress may be... You can't hold me down!!!"
Hopefully for her bottom line, the dress had been a freebie. Packman's gowns cost a pretty penny.
big deal if she had a wardrobe malfunction, im sure shes allready over that.-

An E-bulletin brought to you by The Child Welfare League of America
When School Is Out, Children Are Hungry - America's Second Harvest Responds to Their Needs
America's Second Harvest, the largest domestic hunger relief organization, addresses these children's need for food. Since 1993, more than 300 Kids Cafes in 29 states have provided meals in the summer to children who receive subsidized meals during the school year. In Charleston, SC, for example, a Kids Café feeds almost double the number of children in the summer (80) as are fed during the school year (45). In Washington, DC, nearly 70% of the children who receive free and subsidized lunches during the school year receive food during the summer.
Through a network of more than 200 food banks and food-rescue programs, America's Second Harvest distributes 1.4 billion pounds of both perishable and shelf-stable food in every state and Puerto Rico. In addition to annually assisting 26 million Americans, including 8 million children, who face hunger, the organization responds to disaster relief through a partnership with the International Warehouse Logistics Association.
To publicize the fact that 12 million children in the United States face hunger every day and to encourage volunteer and financial support, America's Second Harvest, ConAgra Foods' "Feeding Children Better," and the Ad Council are sponsoring public awareness campaign. The theme is "The sooner you believe it, the sooner we can end it."
How can you help? Contact a food bank or soup kitchen in your community, or check the America's Second Harvest website (http://www.secondharvest.org) for more information, ways to volunteer, and ways to contribute to ending hunger.

Implementation of the AB 32 Scoping Plan
This page last reviewed February 14, 2014
The Scoping
approved by the Air Resources Board (ARB) December 11, 2008, provides
the outline for actions to reduce California's greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions. The Scoping Plan requires ARB and several other state
agencies to adopt regulations and other initiatives to reduce the
state's GHG emissions.
The Next Chapters (graphic to the
right) - shows where we are in the AB 32 implementation process.
ARB has already adopted a number of regulations outlined in the Scoping
Plan, and is continuing to fully implement Scoping Plan measures.
Under AB 32, the state must reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels, or
lower, by 2020. In the long term, California established the
aggressive goal of reducing emissions by 80 percent below 1990 levels
by 2050 pursuant to Governor's Executive Order S-3-05.
AB 32 requires ARB to update the Scoping Plan every five years. The Scoping Plan update identifies opportunities to leverage existing and new funds to further drive GHG emission reductions through strategic planning and targeted low carbon investments.
The Update defines ARB's climate change priorities for the next five years and sets the groundwork to reach California's long-term climate goals set forth in Executive Orders S-3-05 and B-16-2012. The Update will highlight California's progress toward meeting the near-term 2020 GHG emission reduction goals defined in the initial Scoping Plan. These efforts put California on course to achieve the near-term 2020 goal, and have created a framework for ongoing climate action that can be built upon to maintain and continue economic sector-specific reductions beyond 2020, as required by AB 32.
this Update, nine key focus areas were identified (energy,
transportation, agriculture, water, waste management, and natural and
working lands), along with short-lived climate pollutants, green
buildings, and the Cap-and-Trade Program.
key focus areas have overlapping and complementary interests that
will require careful coordination in California's future climate and
energy policies. These focus areas were selected to address issues
underlie multiple sectors of the economy. As such, each focus
area is not contained to a single economic sector, but has
far-reaching impacts within many economic sectors.
For more detailed information about the 2013 Scoping Plan update, please visit: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/scopingplan/scopingplan.htm

Here is a roundup of the terrorist attacks that have targeted Russians since the beginning of the Islamist uprising and Russian military response known as the Second Chechen War.
2002: Nord-Ost siege
On Oct. 23, 2002, an estimated 42 heavily armed Chechen rebels, including women, stormed the Dubrovka theater during the second act of the sold-out musical "Nord-Ost." Nearly 900 theatre patrons were taken hostage while under 100 were able to flee or otherwise hide from the attackers in the building. The gunmen threatened to kill the hostages unless Russia withdrew its forces from Chechnya. Negotiations and some hostage releases happened over the next few days, as well as some shootings from those who tried to intervene or escape. On Oct. 26, Russian special forces began their assault that included pumping noxious chemical fumes into the theater. At least 33 terrorists were killed in the melee, and 129 hostages died.
2003: Stavropol train bombing
Stravropol Krai is a territory on the northern border of Chechnya. On Dec. 5, 2003, two days before nationwide parliamentary elections, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive on a commuter train in the region as it was leaving the town of Yessentuki at the base of the Caucasus Mountains. Forty-six were killed and more than 170 injured. No arrests have been made, though the Riyad-us Salihiin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion of Chechen Martyrs are believed responsible. A second bombing would occur along the same train route on Sept. 3, 2003, killing 7 and wounding more than 80, but a local official, Ibragim Israpilov, was convicted in that blast and sentenced to 20 years behind bars.

Yankees to wear 1912 throwbacks for Fenway Park's 100th anniversaryBy
The Yankees play in one of the newest ballparks in baseball, but next year they're going to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the oldest. They'll be in Boston to play the Red Sox when Fenway Park turns 100 years old on April 20th, a century after they were in town when the place opened in 1912. Well, technically the New York Highlanders were there in 1912, since they didn't become the Yankees until 1913.
The Sox will have all sorts of pre-game ceremonies to honor the place before the game, and the impossible to read Fenway Park 100th Anniversary Events site says that both clubs will wear 1912 throwback uniforms during the game. Reports earlier this month indicated that the Yankees had not yet agreed to wearing their old uniforms, but apparently the people at Fenway got the a-okay recently. A second throwback game between the Red Sox and Athletics is still tentative according to the Fenway site. The Yankees have not yet confirmed that they will be wearing the 1912 jerseys during the game, just to be clear.
Aside from various patches and whatnot, the Yankees have been using their current road jerseys since 1918* and their current home uniforms since 1936. The uniform above is the 1912 Highlanders' outfit they'll apparently wear during the game in Fenway Park, a rather generic uniform aside from the multi-colored socks. You can see the accompanying home uniform at the Baseball Hall of Fame's site.
I do like that the Yankees have been using their uniforms for a baseball eternity, but the throwback idea is also pretty neat. What fun is having such a rich history if you can't go back and re-live it from time to time? Plus you know the team will make money off this, those hats and jerseys will be up for sale before you know it. Like I said, the Yankees have not yet confirmed any of this, but I hope it's true. I'm looking forward to seeing Mariano Rivera finish off the Red Sox 2012-style in 1912 uniforms.
* From 1927-1930, the uniform actually said YANKEES instead of NEW YORK across the chest.

this is great, i've been getting soo jealous of other teams, the rangers look really cool in those washington senators gear back in the a-rod years.
cant wait to see c.c., obviously because he's fat as hell and the throwback will look super cool on a fat dude and he's all black and shit and would not have been allowed to even be a major leaguer in 1912, thats gotta mean something right,
i hope the witesox do an 80′s or 70′s thing so we can see them play in those awful shorts
was that offensive or you dont like the throwbacks
Wait, CC's black?
I kind of like that the Yankees are one of the few teams that haven't succumbed to the "We're wearing a special jersey every 5th game" crap that other teams have done the past few years. But I guess Fenway doesn't turn 100 very often, so exceptions can be made…
this… its only special if you keep it special. oversaturation of 'special edition' stuff is a horrible trendand I hope it stops.
unless my wife is reading this, in which case every 'mouth-hug' is special, so please for the love of god don't stop those.
im lmao with the comment about your wife an mouth hugs, thank you, i needed a laugh
On a similar note, the red sox starting pitchers will be wearing special 2011 commemorative hats designed by Buckethead….
I don't even understand why, but +1
100 years. That's impressive. Too bad David Wells never did get around to blowing up the place as he promised.
The ultimate irony is that the 1912 Red Sox had the greatest record and winning percentage in their history (105-47) and the 1912 Yanks/Highlanders had the worst record and lowest winning percentage in Yankee history (record was 50-102; a whopping 55 games behind the Red Sox). Not only are the Yanks right in being hesitant to join in this "celebration" they should have really told the Red Sox to stick it; there's nothing about 1912 the Yanks should be celebrating. As an historic aside that week in 1912 was the same week the Titantic hit the iceberg. Pretty lousy week in history to be celebrating.
They aren't celebrating one week or even one season in history. They are celebrating 100 years of history. Looping in the Titanic to this discussion is kindof bizarre, IMO.
With everyone on the "this is cool" sentiment. I'm a sucker for the nostalgic.
If the players have numbers on their backs it will not be a true throwback.
Total crap.
All the male fans should be forced to wear those straw skimmer hats or news boy caps, and the women should not be allowed to vote.
Ah, the good old days.
Since when can women vote ? just kidding ladies
I know the Yanks uniforms haven't changed much, but I've been waiting for them to do a throwback thing for a while. I'd love to see them in the 20′s Ruth/Gherig style uniforms or the 60′s Maris/Mantle style with the short cut off sleeves. Glad they agreed to this!
Maybe the Yankees can buy Jon Lester for peanuts on the dollar as well.
I think that the Yankees wore throwbacks of a sort at Detroit in 1996 (NY Black Yankees) to honor the Negro Leagues.
I'm a Yankee fan, so part of me doesn't want the Yankees to help the Red Sox, yet I'm also a baseball fan, so the Yankees should totally participate, so I'm all for it.
Yet they really should go in full on this. The game should be billed as the New York Highlanders vs. the Boston Red Sox.
I always thought a Highlander was immortal. Being a Yankee fan proves I was right!
I can't wait to see AJ in the throwback uniform. He's white and not fat. Maybe this will help his pitching.
The team was already commonly called the "Yankees" by 1907. Check the NYT articles in the archive. It's almost all "Yankees" throughout 1907. As the actual team name was "The American League Base Ball Club of New York" on the stock certificates and legal documents all the way through the 1940s, it's safe to say that the team "became the Yankees" by 1907.
That NY Black Yankees throwback they wore @ Detroit in 1996 is a great looking uni. It has Yankees in a fine old time font & numeral on back. They should use it more often as a tribute — it is an excellent uniform.
Those uniforms might be better fitting and will probably be warmer for a lot of the Yankees' senior citizens. I heard that Old Timers Day may feature active players this year. That is, if they are not on IR.
I think that this is a great idea. I sure hope the Yankees agree.
I love it! its much better than wearing those stupid Red Hats on July 4th! thats a Joke! They shouldve done some of this during the last year of Yankee Stadium to honor the Great teams of the Past. I also like how were able to schedule Yankees there when they neded to be there Historically. They NEVER do that for the Yankees. 1976 they had the Twins re open the new yankee Stadium. They also had the Orioles close the old Stadium and not even on the last day of the season. The league seems to only be romantic for the Yankees when they can use them to help another teams attendance!
Hmmm, the only cool thing besides selling us Babe Ruth is that their stadium's born day was on 4/20!!!
"the Yankees have been using their current road jerseys since 1918*"
Don't forget about the white trim that they added in the 1970s. It's been there ever since.
Technically, they've worn the same road jersey only since 1973. That was the year they added the blue/white trim to the sleeves and the white outline around the letters and numbers, as well as a number font change to the one you see today.
Personally I'd love for them to tweak it to the pre-1973 road uni, get rid of the sleeve trim and white outlines, return to the old number font and maybe add a yankee patch on the sleeve.

Industry & Economy - Printing
Printo rolls out first of 13 shops in Bangalore
Madhumathi D.S.
Bangalore , April 2
For years, it was just another innocuous, humble outsourced process of companies. Since Friday, the business of corporate printing and documenting has a name, a game plan, big-time investors. And it starts in Bangalore.
In the burgeoning IT-driven economy supposedly hurtling towards paperlessness, who really would have dreamt that Mr Sridhar Iyengar, Mr Naresh Malhotra, Mr Pravin Gandhi and Mr Raju Venkataraman, brands of Indian entrepreneurship and venture funding, would be playing angels to - well, print ?!
On Friday, Printo rolled out the first of its 13 shops planned for Bangalore. By 2009, there are to be 200 outlets across the country. "Printo will be India's first one-stop national brand for print and document services," said Mr Manish Sharma, who, with co-Partner and ex-Xerox executive, Ms Lalana Zaveri, hopes to stir up a new ink-and-paper wave across cities.
Printo has had an investment of $5,00,000 (over Rs 2 crore). The amount will double in two months with a second shop and there is no dearth of investments, he told Business Line.
The domestic printing and documenting market, Printo estimates, is a whopping Rs 15,500 crore and is growing at 25 per cent. Fuelling the print business are the endless IT, BPO recruitments (30 per cent of Printo market); and the financial services with their brochures.

Verona parents will be taking an in-depth look at their children's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram on Tuesday, as the Verona School District hosts a Social Media discussion at H.B. Whitehorne Middle School.
The discussion begins at 7 p.m. on Tuesday Oct. 23 in the H.B. Whitehorne Auditorium, located at 600 Bloomfield Ave. in Verona
"Some Middle School students aren't quite mature enough to deal with some of the ramifications from social media," said Verona Superintendent Steven Forte. "There are issues with cyber bullying and the dangers associated with having your personal information on the web."

I bought a Groupon for this hotel. I thought I got a good deal, would be sort of close to the volcano, and since it was my first time to the Big Island, I would be able to see some sights. Well, I did see some sights and it was closer to the volcano than Kona. But I wish I booked elsewhere. What I wasn't told in the Groupon is that it was undergoing renovations. This meant not only lots of construction, but the pool was closed, the shops were closed, and worst of all, the power went out the one day I needed my alarm clock to make it to a scheduled activity on time. It's also in a dodgy part of town and a building that may or may not be on the same parcel of land looks like it's been abandoned for years.
Apart from that, I was in a room that had been renovated. They are obviously doing the best they can with some very old fashioned rooms. These have the old keys- no card readers. There were sliding wood frames to block the light. While these felt like a fresh touch, they didn't seem to be original since the built in closet/desk left an oddly sized space that was completely unusable. Furthermore, the tv was up above the closet so high that it was practically unusable. And in the bathroom, the tile was cut improperly so there was a slight gap above the light switch. From a design aspect- the tile was also a bad choice. It looked cool at first glance because it looked like it had shells and fossils embedded in it. But when you just catch a glimpse of it, it looks like bugs. :S
Finally, the thing that really irritated me was on the last day as we were checking out, I grabbed some clothes off my son's bed and must have had a handful of the sheets also. They pulled away from the bed and a keycard for Hilton dropped out. A) Like I said, they don't use keycards here. B) This isn't a Hilton property. C) How many guests have slept on top of that keycard and why are they not changing the sheets between guests?! Think about it- if the sheets were changed, that keycard wouldn't be under the bottom sheet of a bed. SO NASTY!!

Cleveland Heights officially became a city in 1921. Cleveland Heights Patch is by compiling 90 photos to create an album of the city's past and present. We'll run the feature for 90 days, one photo at a time.
Today's photo of the Wax Stacks and Story Tape stores near Meadowbrook and Lee roads illustrate more than defunct businesses. The photo shows how much technology has altered entertainment in the last 20 years.
Wax Stacks was known for its massive, eclectic selection of music, while Story Tape inventory included videos of independent and foreign films. The photo was taken around 1992, when music and movies were on compact discs and videos. Nowadays, downloads are replacing hard copies of content, and the internet is slowly killing brick-and-mortar entertainment stores.

how safe is this etf?, I find it by chance.
First off this is not a ETF, it is a closed end fund. Meaning that it's price floats based on the market, sometimes it is above NAv and others it is below.You can see the NAV with XRITX.It owns a bunch of REITs, so it is safer than owning one REIT. It you are long commerce real estate than it is good.It pays a monthly div which was just lowered.

Earlier this week, Hannah Simone took to the red carpet along with Rihanna and Diane Kruger for the 2012 GQ Men of the Year party on Tuesday evening, held at the Chateau Marmont in LA.
The 'New Girl' actress sparkled, wearing a Talbot Runhof Spring 2013 dress.
Her black curve-hugging with cap sleeve dress was fully covered in rainbow-hued sequins.
I love the simple styling of this look, but I wish she'd opted for a more exciting pair of shoes rather than brown suede Jimmy Choo pumps.
Wavy tresses and glossy nude lips completed her look.

Nineteen new homes are under construction on the Bishop Paiute Reservation thanks to a Department of Housing and Urban Development Title VI Loan Guarantee.
According to the tribe, HUD has backed the tribe for a $3 million loan for the construction of 18 new homes on tribal lands. The last home will be built using Community Development Department reserves.
The HUD loan is a rare opportunity for the tribe.
"In the past, because of the unique trust status of the reservation land, banks and mortgage lending firms would not loan on these reservation lands," a press release from the tribe states. "Because HUD guarantees the loan, the Title VI program opens a whole new door for the tribe to meet its housing needs."
The new homes will be 1,008 to 1,762 square-foot, two, three, four and five bedroom dwellings. The press release from the tribe said a tribal construction crew and local sub-contractors will be doing the construction.
"This is going to pump a lot of money into the economy," Tribal Community Development Director Vicki Moyle said. "Local contractors and vendors will purchase materials locally plus the wages for our employees."
Moyle said tribal construction crews will do as much of the work as possible, but some sub-contractors will have to be brought in to complete the homes.
"The homes are scattered throughout the reservation, located on individual tribal members' land assignments and are purchased by the members over a 25-year period," the press release states. "Construction has started and the project is anticipated to take approximately 18 months for completion. "
"Right now they're doing site clearing, and cutting foundations," Moyle said.
Moyle added that there is a need for housing on the Bishop Reservation that the tribe is working to address.
Last year the tribe completed construction of the Coyote Mountain Apartments, a 24-unit complex located at the corner of North Pa Ha Lane and West Line Street.
"There is still a very large waiting list for housing, so the need is still great," Moyla said.

Born in Slough on 28th April 1870, Cecil Aldin was educated at Eastbourne College and Solihull Grammar School. He studied art at the RCA and under Frank F. Calderon.
Aldin illustrated hundreds of books throughout his lifetime, one of his first major commissions being Kipling's Jungle Stories. At 22, he took on a studio in Chelsea and began to obtain regular work and his illustrations were published in many magazines during the 1890s. In 1895 he married, moved to Chiswick and became one of a circle of artists who between them formed the London Sketch Club.
As Master of the South Berkshire Hunt, Aldin was a keen huntsman and many of his prints depict horses. Unusually, he also carried the horn with harriers, beagles and bassets, and drew animals of all kinds as well as his well-known hunting and coaching scenes, with humour and precision.
Cecil Aldin painted mainly in water-colour, but he was also famous for being a master of caricature in the drawing of both humans and animals. The quality of his art can be seen in most of his work, particularly in his many famous drawings of his family of dogs.
Cecil Aldin died in 1935 and his work is now highly collectable. He is regarded as being one of the most original and very best sporting artists of the twentieth century.
