CXXXVI.—THE DUKE OF YORK'S SCHOOL. In the Council's ms. collection are:—
It is not intended to give a detailed description of these buildings, as they fall just within the 19th century, but the site cannot be altogether passed over. There was formerly here a house in which lived the Cadogan family, the lords of the manor, and later Sir Walter Farquhar, Bt., from whom it was purchased by the Government for the erection of the Royal Military Asylum, or, as it is more familiarly called after its founder, The Duke of York's School. The buildings, of which the main front faces west, with two long wings to the east, was designed by John Sanders, the foundation stone being laid in 1801. The material used is, in the main, stock brick, but there is a stone portico of the Doric order in the centre of the main block, and the curved garden walls which stretch out on either side have archways surmounted by flags and trophies carved in stone. The institution was founded to provide for the children of soldiers' widows. In 1823 the girls were removed to Southampton, and in 1909 the boys left Chelsea for their new premises at Dover.
The school buildings, the chapel (erected in 1824 at the corner of King's Road and Chesterfield Street) and the grounds are now [1913] in use as the Headquarters of the 2nd London Division of the Territorial Force. The brick wall is being pulled down along the King's Road and railings placed in its stead.

Work the Shell - Parsing Command-Line Options with getopt
I've talked before about how I am a lazy shell script programmer. It might be because I'm simply not a full-time professional software developer, and I don't even administer my own servers anymore—I outsource the job to Wisconsin.
Regardless of how much I program nowadays though, I still find myself needing simple little applications—tiny programs that do one simple task well.
And, then there are the throwaway scripts that stick around, ultimately becoming a mainstay of one's toolkit, spreading out to cover multiple functions and mysteriously growing to 100 lines or more.
I have one of those in my toolkit, a script that originally was intended simply to figure out the dimensions of a graphic file and produce the proper height and width attributes for an HTML image tag.
Now the script scale.sh has grown to 133 lines and does a variety of different, albeit related tasks. No surprise, it's also grown to have a variety of command-line arguments, as shown here:
$ ./scale.sh Usage: scale {args} factor [file or files] -a use URL values for APparenting.com site -b add 1px solid black border around image -i use URL values for intuitive.com/blog site -k KW add keywords KW to the ALT tags -r use 'align=right' instead of <center> -s produces succinct dimensional tags only A factor 0.9 for 90% scaling, 0.75 for 75%, or max width in pixels. A factor of '1' produces 100%.
Crack open the code, and you'll see my dirty little scripting secret—a very sloppy approach to parsing command-line options:
if [ "$1" = "-a" ] ; then baseurl="www.apparenting.com/Images/"; shift fi
I did warn you that I was a lazy programmer, right? This is a pretty classic way to parse and process command-line arguments, actually. Check the value of $1, and if it's a known flag, change a default variable or two, then use the shift command to move $2 → $1, $3 → $2 and so on, effectively deleting the processed flag from the command-line args.
The problem is, when you have more than one or two flags, this really doesn't work. I step through the command flags alphabetically in my script—for example, invoking the script as scale -r -a will fail. It'll process the -r flag but never see the -a and generate an error condition.
Fortunately, there's a very nice Linux command called getopt that lets you parse through your command flags in a far more sophisticated manner.
The getopt command first requires that you let it rearrange how your command flags are organized, then you use the set command to update all the positional variables. After that, you can step through the positional variables with a case statement.
The first step is:
args=`getopt FLAGS $*` set -- $args
where FLAGS should be the individual letters of known and accepted command flags. If a flag has an argument that goes with it (like -s 30), append a colon to it.
For my script, it looks like this:
args=`getopt abik:rs $*` set -- $args
To see what happens, I've added a bonus echo statement. Here's the result:
$ scale -abs -k fdsf 100 *png args = -a -b -s -k fdsf -- 100 blooeeh.png
As you can see, getopt separates out each and every command flag and adds a -- flag that indicates when the command flags end—simple, really!
Now that the args have been restructured, parsing is relatively easy, though it looks pretty complicated (warning, I've stripped out a few clauses for simplicity):
for i; do case "$i" in -a ) baseurl="www.apparenting.com/Images/" shift ;; -k ) keywords=" ($2)" shift ; shift ;; -s ) verbose=0 shift ;; -- ) shift; break ;; esac done
Let's read this backward. At the -- option, the loop will exit due to the break. Until that's hit, the for loop will just keep iterating, stepping through all the flags specified. This is how the order of the flags becomes irrelevant.
Each time a flag is matched, the desired action is taken, variables are set and so on, then the shift command shows up again to move all the command flags down one (for example, $2 to $1, $3 to $2 and so on).
Shell script case statement matching lines are all in the form of:
regex ) actions ;;

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

The Northern State track and field team will start its indoor season Sunday.
The Wolves will compete in the North Dakota State Bison Invite in Fargo. The NSU men were picked to finish sixth in the NSIC preseason conference poll, while the women were picked to finish 10th in the conference poll.
NSU men: The men's team is highlighted by junior hurdler Luke Hauert.
The Stickney graduate is a national meet qualifier and an all-conference performer. The Wolves hosted an unscored dual with cross-town Presentation College before Christmas and Hauert posted an NCAA provisional qualifying time of :7.56 seconds in the 55-meter hurdles at the meet. That mark translates to 8.09 seconds in the 60-meter race, the NCAA standard length race, well ahead of the provisional standard of 8.25 seconds. His time ranks as the sixth best mark in Division II at the moment.
I was a little surprised with how quickly he ran before Christmas, NSU coach Jim Fuller said. I felt like he would have a good season and I really felt like he would improve on his times, but I did not think he would run within a couple hundredths of a second of his personal best right off the bat.
Hauert should also see time on the mile relay team, which Fuller said has the potential to break school and Barnett Center records. The Wolves could have as many as eight different runners on the mile relay team and early in the season will have two mile relay teams.
Other men expected to compete in the mile relay are Jacob Arechigo, Mandela Matasu, Austin Suther, Abraham Walker, Matt Peterson, Montrel Richardson and Chris Malsam.
Fuller expects Arechigo and Richard Keroack to score some points in the middle distance races for the Wolves after both had solid cross country seasons. Richardson will compete in sprints for the Wolves and in the meet before Christmas, he almost broke his own Barnett Center record in the 55-meter dash.
He is feeling so much different than he has ever felt in track because he didn't have a football season before it and he was able to train for track during that time, Fuller said about the former Wolves' running back. His body just feels better. He is not having to recover from the bumps and bruises you get from playing football.
Suther will focus on long jumping and sprints this season instead of the multi-events. Jared Thompson will anchor the shot put for the Wolves.
I'm looking forward to watching Jared Thompson throw, Fuller said. He is motivated. He knows what he wants to accomplish and be a competitive shot putter within our conference.
NSU women: Melodi Boke is the top returner for the NSU women's team.
The Faulkton graduate is also a national qualifier and an all-conference performer in the shot put. She is expected to be among the top performers in the NSIC in the shot put.
I expect Melodi to have a good season and it will be competitive in our conference in the throws, Fuller said. We are just a good throwing conference - men or women. You can probably feel reasonably certain that you are going to see multiple girls from our conference at the national meet and Melodi expects to be one of them. I think she will have a great season.
Fuller also expects Jill Schaefer perform well in the hurdles this season.
Jill is ready to have a good season, Fuller said. She had a good season last year. It will be good to watch her.
Hannah Treinen will focus on the multi-events this season and will also score some points for the Wolves in the hurdles as well.
Hannah will have a great season, Fuller said. She will do some good things in the pentathlon. She will do some good things in the hurdles and I think she will long jump well.
Freshman Leandra Schlecht will also compete in the multi-events for the Wolves. Calley Worth and Theresa Knapp will both compete in the pole vault for NSU.
Calley and Theresa both have good chances to place at the conference meet so I think that could be a pretty good area for us, Fuller said.

The Boston Athletic Association this year will hand out a total of $858,000 to the eight cities and towns along the Boston Marathon route to reimburse costs associated with hosting the 117-year-old race and help fund community programs.
For some of the communities, that contribution covers the whole cost of hosting the 26.2 mile race, which not only draws tens of thousands of runners but hundreds of thousands of spectators who line the streets to watch the Patriots Day tradition. This year's installment is set for April 15.
But as the race moves toward Boston, or through communities with longer stretches and more cross streets, the costs can increase.
"People need more medical attention at mile 13, 14, and 15 than they do at mile 2 or 3," said Hans Larsen, Wellesley's executive director. "And the crowds get bigger."
In Wellesley, which will receive $44,000 from the BAA this year, the contribution does not cover all of the prerace preparation and planning, extensive police and fire coverage on race day, and the cleanup after the crowds leave.
"The BAA makes a significant contribution toward defraying the costs, but it doesn't cover everything," Larsen said.
The town's costs also include beautifying downtown by repainting road lines, cleaning sidewalks, and repairing roads, according to Terrance Connolly, deputy director in Larsen's office.
According to Larsen, towns "made a concerted effort" to get more money several years ago, and the BAA responded by increasing the amount given to each of the eight communities along the Marathon route between Hopkinton and Boston.
"More and more is coming each year," he said.
In addition, the BAA has increased the number of official race entries it gives to the host communities. The "waivers'' are coveted by runners who could not otherwise take part in the Marathon. "Wellesley received 20 waivers, and these are used as good fund-raising opportunities," Larsen said. "That's another contribution."
This year's BAA financial contribution is up 7 percent from last year, according to an announcement by the organization, and it expects to spend $2.7 million from 2013 to 2015 reimbursing cities and towns for race expenses.
"The contributions are allocated on a burden formula," said Tom Grilk, executive director of the BAA, with the communities absorbing the longest routes or serving key roles getting the most funds.
"The whole production is a shared partnership," Grilk said. "It's amazing how many town officials, organizations, and people take this personally and want to get it right."
Grilk said the funds that go to the communities come from the event's principal sponsor, John Hancock Financial Services.
Mary Ellen Kelley, Framingham's chief financial officer, said its $44,000 payment from the BAA is not enough to cover her town's expenses, especially because of the overtime needed to pay police to patrol the route on race day and firefighters on duty in case of emergency.
"We have a lot of crossroads along the route and the railroad, which need to be covered," she said.
Framingham puts the entire BAA allotment into the town's general fund, and doesn't earmark any of it for specific programs.
Hopkinton, where runners converge for the race's start in the center of town, will receive $85,000 this year. It traditionally has money left from the BAA's contribution, according to Jamie Hellen, operations assistant in the town manager's office.
Hopkinton plays a big role in the race, and the Parks and Recreation Department, which oversees the town common where there are activities set up before the race, bears the brunt of the expenditures, Hellen said.
But over the past several years, he said, the town has managed to have about $10,000 to $15,000 left after race costs are paid. The surplus is portioned out by the town's Marathon Fund Committee, and is used to fund six scholarships and various programs throughout town each year.
In the past the money has provided new helmets for the high school's hockey team, and programs at the senior center.
Natick and Ashland this year will each receive $44,000, which local officials said will totally cover expenses and leave a surplus.
Last year the surplus from the BAA contribution in Natick totaled $17,046, and was given to the Recreation and Parks Department for programs and small capital projects, according to Town Administrator Martha White.
She said the surplus has been used in the past to improve the docks at the town beach, among other things.
"We love being one of the towns on the route. It's a little disruptive for downtown businesses on race day, but we're proud to be a part of it," White said.Continued...

I didn't write this column Wednesday. If you're reading it on Feb. 29, I'm actually doing something else. Wednesday is an extra day on the leap year calendar. And it's mine.
Neanderthal scientists discovered Feb. 29 roughly 5 million years ago. Leap years occur every four years, except for years that end in double zeros and are not divisible by 400 … uh, forget it.
Join the Discussion | |
Post a Comment |
Let's not get technical. All you need to know is that Feb. 29 is the exact amount of time left over from synchronizing the Tavaputs Ranch calendar hanging above my desk with the astrological calendar used by witches and the federal government.
Leap year is also referred to as an intercalary or bissextile year. Intercalating refers to the process of assembling the seconds and minutes necessary to create the extra day. I have no idea what that last word means. I'm not going to look it up, either. Sounds painful.
The point is that right now I could be sitting in front of a TV with a bunch of Steve McQueen videos, out in the desert firing off something illegal or corrupting my grandchildren. Since it's my day, I can do whatever I want with it.
Years ago, I decided that I needed something to look forward to. The other 365 days of every year were subject to the demands of work, church, family, the government and assorted other time sucks. What about me?
In 1992, I reached my limit and decided to carve out a little personal time. Since all of the other days of my life were taxed, regulated and otherwise accounted for, I picked the leftover one. Who would miss one day out of 1,460? It seemed more than fair.
Having one day every four years where you ignore the rest of the world isn't impossible. I know because I did exactly that every day for the first 18 years of my life. I got the scars and the GPA to prove it.
This time, I warned everybody. For example, when I got hired to write this column, I told the editor Feb. 29 was mine. I wouldn't show up for work that day no matter what. And never mind trying to call me.

Me: "You must have me mixed up with somebody else."
"Whatever I want" is actually a bit of a stretch. It may be my day, but it lasts only 24 hours. I'm smart enough to know that the fallout could last longer. So, there are rules.
Two rules, actually. Both of them made by my wife. I can't commit a felony, and I can't chase women. But because both of those rather defeat the idea of being left the hell alone, they've never really come up.
So, what do I do on my day? As little as possible. On Feb. 29, 1996, I hauled 2,000 rounds of ammunition, a couple of Mark Twain novels and a lawn chair into the middle of Skull Valley. It set the standard for every other My Day.
In 2000, I watched 22.5 hours of movies, including "Bullit" three times and "The Wild Bunch" twice. In 2004, I slept almost the entire day with a dog.
You should try this. Pick a day and claim it as your own. You don't have to choose Feb. 29. It could really be any day in a leap year. There are 366 of them. Nobody will miss just one.

This week's winter storm proved less eventful than its predecessor, officials said, but it wasn't necessarily easier to deal with.
The steady New Year's Eve snowfall, which continued into the first day of 2013, accumulated about 1 inch, according to the Ottawa Water Treatment Plant. Despite the small amount of snow, local emergency responders still were kept busy.
The Franklin County Sheriff's Office responded to several incidents and vehicle slide-offs, as well as a few more serious wrecks, Jerrod Fredricks, master deputy with the sheriff's office, said.
"On Monday, there was not as many [wrecks] until after dark," Fredricks said Wednesday. "We felt like during the daytime, obviously because of the warmer temperatures, the streets were pretty dry.
"Along with that, we had a lot of the crews out working that did a great job of cleaning the roads," he said. "But after dark and the re-freeze, that was when we started to have problems."
About 20 slide-offs were reported throughout the county, Fredricks said. Four more serious weather-related wrecks also were tallied Monday and Tuesday. Kelly Layton, 34, Baldwin City, was transported to Ransom Memorial Hospital with possible head injuries after the vehicle she was riding in hit a slick spot on Old U.S. 59 and rolled into the ditch at about 10 p.m. Monday, according to law enforcement reports. Layton, who was riding with her two children and husband, Robert, was treated and released Monday night, according to hospital officials. Weather conditions also were reported as the cause in three other non-injury wrecks in the county, including a two-vehicle wreck on U.S. 59 and a single-vehicle wreck in the 2400 block of Eisenhower Road, southwest of Ottawa. The vehicles each reportedly suffered more than $1,000 in damage. Despite the wrecks, Fredricks said, he thought authorities handled the wintry weather well. "We knew that it was coming and I think we were pretty well prepared and handled it very nicely," he said. Crews from both the county, and the city were out Monday and Tuesday to ensure the roadways were safe for motorists. City crews were out Monday night for about five hours starting at about 8 p.m., Andy Haney, the city's public works director, said. The materials, a salt and rock chip mixture, weren't as effective, he said, until after the pavement temperature dropped. "It didn't get ugly during the day because the pavement temperatures were up and the roads stayed pretty clear, unlike the time before, but it did get slick [Monday] evening," Haney said. "We had been putting out material during the day to try and stay ahead of it, but when the temperatures dropped in the evening, it got slick so the guys had to be out for about four to five hours." County crews worked more than 20 hours, spreading about 35 loads salt and sand mixture on the county's roads, Jeff Welton, the county's roads superintendent, said. "We worked a 10-hour shift on Monday, then we had that lull and then we had another 12-hour shift on Tuesday," Welton said Wednesday. "Today we're still out treating and hitting some of the spots that didn't melt off or were shaded." No major issues were reported with the process, which involved pre-treating bridges, overpasses and intersections, Welton said. "We had some freeze-back in several of the locations, but for the most part, I think it went pretty well," he said. Capt. Adam Weingartner, with the Ottawa Police Department, said this week's winter weather event presented significantly fewer incidents than the previous storm the week before Christmas. "We didn't have many problems with it," Weingartner said. Two non-injury wrecks involving the weather were reported, Weingartner said. In the 300 block of West Keokuk Street, James Finch, 18, Ottawa, lost control of his vehicle and struck a vehicle driven by Wendi Weekly, 41, Olathe. A second incident involved a hit-and-run wreck in the 600 block of North Mulberry Street. The unknown driver of a vehicle reportedly hit three parked vehicles and then fled the scene on foot about 10:17 p.m. Monday. Officers were following up Wednesday to identify the driver of the vehicle, Weingartner said. The snow dropped on the area isn't expected to melt for a couple of days as temperatures are forecast to stay in the low- to mid-30s. The extended forecast shows a chance for rain later in the week, with temperatures climbing into the low-50s. No chance of snow is forecast for the rest of January.

EU Pulls Greek Economy Back From Brink. Now What?
By editor
European leaders hammered out a deal early Thursday morning to pull Greece back from the edge of default and provide a bigger buffer of cash for other vulnerable EU countries. The details, though, remain to be worked out, and many experts question whether meltdowns will spread across the Eurozone.

Observations from the Contract Packaging Association's annual meeting
Such an approach would seem to be a critical advantage for busting through the obstacles that are inherent in getting the various players on the same page for quickly and efficiently designing, packing, and distributing a CPG company's new or restaged product on very short notice to meet unrelenting retailer and consumer demands.
Another key area that both service buyers and service providers need to play closer attention to, says Chicago attorney-at-law Eric Greenberg, is quality control. "It's a more important time than ever to emphasize quality control and safety for the products you package," Greenberg told the audience.
Why? One reason is the new crackdown on food safety—an area of great interest to food product companies and their contract packagers. President Obama in January signed the Food Safety Modernization Act into law, giving the Food and Drug Administration additional power to take on food borne illness—before it occurs. The new law marks the first major change in food safety regulations since 1938, and it provides the FDA with additional authority to inspect food, implement recalls if a product manufacturer doesn't voluntarily stop selling tainted products, trace food outbreaks to the source, and increase food inspections.
Greenberg, by the way, says the new law doesn't affect meat and poultry companies, because they are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
CPA fall workshop
The association also used the occasion of its annual meeting to announce a fall educational workshop for members only. The workshop will be in late October to early November in the Chicago area.
Topics will be grouped in tracks by primary job functions (i.e., operations, maintenance, and quality managers, etc.). The association is looking for subject matter ideas from members, and it plans to have the program agenda finalized by the end of May.
Members having content suggestions should contact the association at 630/544-5053 or e-mail [email protected].

A new anti-ErbB2 strategy in the treatment of cancer: Prevention of ligand-dependent ErbB2 receptor heterodimerization Cancer Cell, Volume 2, Issue 2, 1 August 2002, Pages 93-95 Jose Baselga Summary Preventing ligand-dependent ErbB2 receptor heterodimers by an anti-ErbB2 monoclonal antibody shuts down receptor signaling and has potent antitumor activity even in tumors that express low levels of ErbB2, a finding that could result in a larger number of patients benefiting from anti-ErbB2 therapies.

Quantitative Characterization of the Large-Scale Association of ErbB1 and ErbB2 by Flow Cytometric Homo-FRET Measurements Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 4, 15 August 2008, Pages 2086-2096 Ágnes Szabó, Gábor Horváth, János Szöllősi and Peter Nagy Abstract The association of receptor tyrosine kinases is a key step in the initiation of growth factor-mediated signaling. Although the ligand-induced dimerization of inactive, monomeric receptors was the central dogma of receptor tyrosine kinase activation for decades, the existence of larger oligomers is now accepted. Both homoassociations and heteroassociations are of extreme importance in the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family, leading to diverse and robust signaling. We present a statistically reliable, flow-cytometric homo-fluorescence resonance energy transfer method for the quantitative characterization of large-scale receptor clusters. We assumed that a fraction of a certain protein species is monomeric, whereas the rest are present in homoclusters of N-mers. We measured fluorescence anisotropy as a function of the saturation of fluorescent antibody binding, and fitted the model to the anisotropy data yielding the fraction of monomers and the cluster size. We found that ErbB2 formed larger homoclusters than ErbB1. Stimulation with EGF and heregulin led to a decrease in ErbB2 homocluster size, whereas ErbB1 homoclusters became larger after EGF stimulation. The activation level of ErbB2 was inversely proportional to its homocluster size. We conclude that homoclusters of ErbB1 and ErbB2 behave in a fundamentally different way. Whereas huge ErbB2 clusters serve as a reservoir of inactive coreceptors and dissociate upon stimulation, small ErbB1 homoclusters form higher-order oligomers after ligand binding.

Members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family play important roles in various cellular processes, both in physiological and in pathological conditions. Dimerization and autophosphorylation of these receptor tyrosine kinases are key events of signal transduction. Details of the molecular events of the signaling are not entirely known. To facilitate the understanding of receptor structure and function at the molecular level, a molecular model was built for the nearly full-length ErbB2 dimer. Modeling was based on the x-ray or nuclear-magnetic resonance structures of extracellular, transmembrane, and intracellular domains. The extracellular domain was positioned above the cell membrane based on the distance determined from experimentally measured fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Favorable dimerization interactions are predicted for the extracellular, transmembrane, and protein kinase domains in the model of a nearly full-length dimer of ErbB2, which may act in a coordinated fashion in ErbB2 homodimerization, and also in heterodimers of ErbB2 with other members of the ErbB family.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A group Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin asked to study the state's drug problems told the governor this month to raise taxes on alcohol and cigarettes and tap into the state's sizeable "rainy day" funds.
Tomblin seems likely to ignore this advice from his Advisory Council on Substance Abuse.
Tomblin - who ran for governor on a no-new-taxes platform - "will not" do those two things, spokeswoman Amy Shuler Goodwin said this week.
The governor organized the council in 2011. It includes numerous senior officials, including top officials from the Department of Health and Human Resources, the Department of Education and the State Police.
The council's year-end report was made public late last week. It has nine recommendations.
Two of them are attempts to get more money to help the roughly 150,000 West Virginians who need treatment for drug abuse problems.
One idea was to get some money out of the state's $913 million dollar rainy day funds to help build treatment centers.
The other was to raise taxes on alcohol or tobacco to help prevent people from becoming addicts, to treat addicts before things go terribly downhill for them and to help addicts recover.
Both ideas are a no-go for Tomblin, whose campaign slogan included the phrase "lower taxes" and who has prided himself on the size of the rainy day fund.
Advisory Council member Rick Staton said he never expected Tomblin to go for either recommendation.
Staton is the current Wyoming County prosecuting attorney and a former state House majority leader.
"We clearly understood at that meeting that those were decisions that he had to make, not us," Staton said, referring to the council meeting where it made recommendations to the governor.
But Staton said the lack of that new money from taxes or the rainy day funds was not a "deal breaker or detriment to the objectives" of the council.
"I anticipate there will be some funding even if there's not funding mechanisms," Staton said.
Some of that money could come from savings the state hopes to see by reducing the prison population.
Last week, the Justice Reinvestment Initiative, a project of the Justice Center at the nonprofit Council of State Governments, released a plan to reduce the number of prisoners in the state.
The group estimates the changes would save the state about $142 million between now and 2018, with about $25.5 million to be reinvested in substance use treatment programs.
Tomblin spokeswoman Goodwin also pointed to money the governor has already put into substance treatment programs, namely $7.5 million for treatment.

We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.
Visitors to the winery often ask what "Reserve" chardonnay means to us. It's simple. Reserve means the winemaker's careful blend of individual wines made from time tested, meticulously farmed sections of some of the very best vineyards in Russian River Valley. Each lot is vinified separately in our finest barrels, and shortly after completion of malolactic fermentation, select lots are assembled in tank to facilitate flavor integration, and returned to barrels to finish aging. It literally is a matter of taste.
Frequent stirring of the lees during barrel aging added a creamy texture to an already full-bodied wine, making for a rich, plush mouth feel, balanced with vibrant acidity. Powerful aromas of spiced apple, pear and pie crust join lemon-cream and toasty oak on the palate, adding up to a compelling and thoroughly satisfying experience for true Chardonnay lovers.
"Floral honeysuckle, ripe fig and melon scents are rich, full-bodied, elegant and refined, showing a light touch of toasty vanilla oak on the finish, where the flavors turn subtle and delicate. Drink now through 2015." 93 Points Wine Spectator
"Expressive green and ripe apple scents mingle with a blossomy note and enriching creamy oak in the nose, and the wine makes an equally deep and inviting impression on the palate. It is ripe, to be sure, and comes with plenty of balancing acidity that adds a bit of tensile quality to the long and likeable aftertaste. Allow this one a year or two in the cellar." 90 Points Connoisseurs' Guide
Founded by wine industry pioneer, Rod Strong, in 1959, Rodney Strong Vineyards is now owned by the Kleins, a farming-based family that prides itself on land stewardship and a relentless push for superior wine quality from Sonoma County. After purchasing the company in 1989, Tom Klein began the endeavor that today brings together excellent vineyards, the industry's finest...Read More About Rodney Strong
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to...Read More About Russian River
Chardonnay (shar-dawn-AY) White Wine's Queen Bee Like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay can grow just about anywhere. It adapts well to different soils and different climates. While frequently paired with California, its native home lies in the vineyards of Burgundy, France. The only major white grape of the region, Chardonnay is at its best on the rolling...Read More About Chardonnay

Accelerating downloads with Trickle
Is your Internet connection groaning under the load of too many simultaneous downloads? If so, try Trickle, a simple application that gives you more granular control over network traffic.
High-volume downloads can make simultaneous interactive connections practically unusable. Just like in the bad old days of modems, users press keys and then wait for seconds for the server to finally echo the character on screen. TCP/ IP needs enough free capacity in both directions. No matter whether you are uploading or downloading, packets still travel in both directions. The device at the receiving end of the download is expected to acknowledge the receipt of every packet it receives, and obviously the receipt travels in the upload direction towards the source.

A large number of the UK's Universities and colleges have been using XNA since 2004 within gaming course curricula on Windows, XBox and Windows Phone. We have a huge set of Free curricula resources for XNA game development at http://www.microsoft.com/faculty
XNA over the last 7 years has provide a number of students and indie game developers with an impressive content pipeline, game assets, load functionality, animation, math, sound and user input tracking via gamepad, mouse, keyboard and touch with game logic organized in a straightforward game loop architecture, more recently we have also added curricula for XNA and Kinect.
Within education XNA has been a huge driver for a number of students and developers who wanted to learn how to create games. XNA along with Visual Studio made it as easy as File –> New –> XNA Game Studio Project and you were off developing.
Since Windows 8 is built on the strong foundation of Windows 7, any app built for Windows will run in the Windows 8 desktop environment. This includes apps based on XNA, Win32, .NET, WPF, Silverlight, etc.
Windows 8 also introduces a new type of app called a Metro Style App for developers that wish to make their app available in the Windows 8 Store, for free or for sale. Using Visual Studio 2012, you have a language choice of C++, XAML with C#, VB or C++, or HTML5/JS to create a Metro Style App.
Using the XNA Framework is not a choice for building a Metro Style App. Official Microsoft guidance on game development is documented here.
Windows 8 allows you too build highly immersive games using HTML5/JS, XAML/C#, XAML/VB or C++ and DirectX.
However a number of you have already stressed too me, that you and your students have been developing with XNA and have an existing code base, or would like to import existing XNA games too Windows 8 your only option it would seem is running as a desktop app.
This is where MonoGame comes in…
MonoGame is an Open Source implementation of the Microsoft XNA 4 Framework. The goal is to allow XNA developers on Windows & Windows Phone to port their games to the iOS, Android, Mac OS X, Linux with both PlayStation Suite and Windows 8 support currently under development.
NOTE : This project is not linked with Microsoft or any of it subsidiaries. It is a non-profit, open source project. MonoGame is licensed under the Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL)
MonoGame provides a cross platform XNA Framework implementation for XNA developers who want to take their code to non-Microsoft platforms as well as the ability, to target Windows 8.
MonoGame for Windows 8 you can take your XNA code and with a recompile and some additional features too simply create a Metro Style App for example Armed within the Windows Store uses MonoGame. I have too stress MonoGame is still under development and so any use of it should come with a note of advice to stay on top of that effort.
In order to provide a complete implementation of XNA on Windows 8, MonoGame leverages SharpDX , an open-source project delivering the full DirectX API for managed code (.NET) and Windows 8 (WinRT). SharpDX is an open-source project, free of charge available under the following MIT License.
Over the past few days I have had a few questions re how does a University go about installing Enterprise apps onto Windows 8 machines without having to setup Microsoft LiveIDs on each of the machines,
As your all aware from the Consumer preview, applications are installed via the Microsoft Store, authentication to the store is based upon your Microsoft LiveID. As a consumer you simply click on the store icon and use the Windows 8 Store to get an application onto Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
However if you are an Enterprise looking to get Metro applications onto your employees/students or lab Windows 8 desktops then you will likely want to do it more directly.
Which is where "sideloading" fits in.
Microsoft Technet has detailed documentation on Windows 8 Sideloading to add and remove line-of-business (LOB) Metro style apps
In brief:
At which point installing an app is as simple as
add-appxpackage C:\app1.appx
Additionally you can also remove apps via this process
Remove-appxpackage C:\app1.apx
More details on the Windows Store can be found here
And Building Windows 8 blog
Then this free day of training is the quickest way to find out all you need to know.

London - Saturday 17 September
Manchester - Saturday 24 September
Over the past few weeks with the Public Beta of Unity for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 have had a number of questions about the opportunity of Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and UNITY3D.
Unity is popular cross-platform game engine with a built-in IDE developed by Unity Technologies. It is used to develop video games for web plugins, desktop platforms, consoles and mobile devices, and is utilized by over one million developers.
Unity in education is primarily used to create mobile and web games, but can also deploy games to consoles or the PC.
The Unity game engine was developed in C/C++, and is able to support code written in C#, JavaScript or Boo. It grew from an OS X supported game development tool in 2005 to the multi-platform game engine that it is today which now supports Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.
A number of 3rd Party Unity assets are presently being developed to provide full support for Windows 8 and Windows Azure.
One of these plug-ins is developed by Bit Rave. Bit Rave have extensive experience working with the Windows 8 platform capabilities, and as part of that we decided to build a library for Unity to make Windows 8 integration easier for everyone.
Bit Rave are currently looking for people interested in joining a closed beta. Send an email to email@example.com if you want to participate.
So what important about Windows 8 features?
Live Tiles
Live Tiles are what makes your Windows experiences come to life. Bit Rave Live Tiles allows you to update and manage Live Tiles from within Unity.
For more information on Live Tiles check out Guidelines and checklist for tiles and badges on MSDN.
With both square and wide tile, Bit Rave makes it trivial to support both.
1: LiveTiles.Update(newSquareLiveTile);
2: LiveTiles.Update(newWideLiveTile);
With support for text tiles and image tiles, there are lots of options.
1: LiveTiles.Update(newTextLiveTile);
2: LiveTiles.Update(newImageLiveTile);
And for Unity Pro users, you how about a screenshot on your live tile!
1: LiveTiles.Update(newLiveTile);
You can also manage rotating tile updates with just a few lines of code.
2: LiveTiles.Queue(newImageLiveTile);
3: LiveTiles.Queue(newTextAndImageTile);
Snap View
Windows 8 comes with a variety of devices, all with varying different screen layout capabilities. Bitrave's Snap View library helps you implement responsive applications for all changes in UI without having to leave Unity.
To learn more about the view states, check out Guidelines for Snapped and Fill Views on MSDN.
Register for snap, filled, and full screen views with the following line of code.
1: SnapView.RegisterForViewChange(OnViewChanged);
Register for orientation changes with the following line of code:
1: SnapView.RegisterForOrientationChange(OnOrientationChanged);
Charms covers both the settings charm, and the share charm for sharing content from within your app. For integration with the Search charm, it has it's own component appropriately named Search.
Setting is how your users find your help, your privacy policies, and find out further information about yoru application. You can trigger the settings charm manually with a single line of code.
1: SettingsCharm.Current.ShowSettingsUI();
Sharing is one of the key components of Windows 8 applications. Sharing allows your application to interact with other applications who can consume the content. You can allows your application to share with your favourite social media client, or maybe share an image with a photo manipulation app.
Bit Rave for Live Apps allows you to share seamlessly. To register content for sharing, it can be all done in a single line of code!
1: ShareCharm.Current.RegisterTextShare("Title",
2: "Description",
3: "Hello World!");
Or maybe you want to share an image from within game:
3: imageTexture2D);
And for Unity Pro users, how about sharing a screenshot from a camera!
3: cameraObject);
And you can even trigger the UI manually from within game:
1: ShareCharm.ShowShareUI();
With your Microsoft ID following you between machines, you can now take advantage of Roaming Settings. Use roaming settings to synchronise high scores and game files across machines. Bitrave Settings let you do all this simply and easily without having to leave Unity, and also supports Local Settings for non-roaming preferences and data.
Register for updates to settings data with the following line of code.
Roaming settings go with you, and all it takes is just a line of code to set them.
1: RoamingSettings.SetValue("high-score", hiScoreValue);
And just one line of code to retrieve.
1: var highScore = RoamingSettings.GetValue("high-score");
Local settings act just like roaming settings, but stay on a single machine when you don't want them to roam. You set and retrieve them in the same way.
1: LocalSettings.SetValue("high-score", hiScoreValue);
1: var highScore = LocalSettings.GetValue("high-score");
Azure Mobile Services allow you to take your application to the cloud quickly and easily.
And now you can access Azure Mobile Services directly from your Unity code.
Initialisation is just as simple as you'd expect.
1: var service = AzureMobileServices("url", "token");
Insert an item into your Azure database in a single line of code from Unity.
1: service.Insert<ToDoItem>(myItem);
Update items in the Azure databsae with just one line of code from Unity.
Remove items from the Azure database in 1 line of code from Unity.
1: service.Delete<ToDoItem>(myItem);
Query items in your Azure Mobile Services from Unity.
1: service.Where<ToDoItem>(p => p.Category == "Exercise", MyCallback);
2: public void MyCallback(List<ToDoItem> items)
3: {
4: ...
5: }
NOTE: await / async will be available when supported by Unity. Until then we are using callbacks.
Lookup items in your Azure Mobile Services from Unity.
1: service.Lookup<ToDoItem>(myItem, MyCallback);
2: public void
3: MyCallback(ToDoItem item)
4: {
5: ...
6: }
Microsoft recently ran an full day of events to highlight the opportunity of Windows and Unity.
You can watch the content below and get access to all the materials at http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Windows-Camp/Building-Windows-Games-with-Unity?d=1

End-to-End: Develop, debug and deploy a Unity game for the Windows Store
In this session, we will build a game using Unity Editor and then export it for usage in a Windows Store app. You will see the exporting of the unity player, the visual studio project and deploying to a Windows RT device.
Deep dive: Tips & tricks for porting games from other platforms to Windows 8
Go deep under the hood of Unity for Windows Store apps. After this session you will understand how the engine works, and the changes you will need to make to port a Unity game to run on the Windows Store app model.
Sharing code: Reuse all this new knowledge on the Windows Phone platform
Most of what you learned so far on building Unity games for Windows 8 is applicable to Windows Phone too. In this session, we will highlight the few differences across the platforms; we will start with the Windows Phone Store monetization differences and then get to the tools and platform differences. ...
Differentiate: Integrate your game with Windows 8 platform features (such as contracts,…
To have a truly great game, you will need to integrate with Windows 8 features like contracts, live tiles, and push notifications; in this session you will see coding examples and learn techniques for writing plugins that integrate a Unity game with native Windows 8 features.
Introduction to building games with Unity
In this session, Carl Callewaert demos how to build a game using Unity Editor.
Partner Session: Rogue Rocket Games
Rogue Rocket games has released two games to the Windows Store: GunPowder and SushiChop. In this session you will hear their lessons learned during their journey writing these two games.
Partner Session: Coding Jar Studios
Coding Jar Studios started by writing Fling Theory for the Windows Store and quickly ported the game to Windows Phone. In this session you will hear their lessons learned while writing the Windows game and porting it to phone.
Partner Session: Luminary
Luminary is one of the first companies that ported games to Windows Phone. In this session you will hear their lessons learned in porting a Unity game from other platform to Windows Phone.
One of the questions I have had this week, is from Mobile development course leaders, how they can teach, Windows Phone, iOS and Android in the same lab?
For the first time ever, you can write native iOS apps in Visual Studio using C#.
So I know a number of academics love Resharper, Team Foundation Server, and the entire Visual Studio ecosystem, so hopefully the following information will make your life is now complete.
Another key aspect of mobile development is code portability simply put the Sharing code between iOS, Android and Windows and with the Xamarin iOS plug this has just got a whole lot easier.
Xamarin iOS for Visual Studio allows iOS applications to be written and tested on Windows computers, with a networked Mac providing the build and deployment service.
This article covers the steps to install and configure the Xamarin iOS tools on each computer, in order to build iOS applications using Visual Studio.
Developing for iOS inside Visual Studio provides a number of benefits:
Xamarin.iOS for Visual Studio supports configurations where Visual Studio is running inside a Windows virtual machine on a Mac (eg. using Parallels or VMWare).

Single Subject Credential Programs at CSUF
CCT Home
High school teachers, and most middle school teachers, hold single subject credentials. The single subject credential authorizes the individual to teach in the subject identified on the credential in grades K-12. So while most single subject credential holders teach at the middle school or high school levels, some teach in the lower grades. For example, many music teachers who teach at elementary schools hold single subject credentials.
The professional teacher must possess expertise in two broad categories of knowledge:
Undergraduates who are planning to teach middle school or high school should intentionally select General Education courses and a major that develops subject matter knowledge in the subject they will teach. In some cases, such as English, the selection of general education courses is not critical as the major will provide ample subject matter preparation. In other cases, such as social science, no one major provides all of the subject matter preparation required; students should choose General Education courses that supplement their subject matter preparation in the areas not covered by the major requirements.
Current teaching credential requirements include demonstration of subject matter knowledge and teaching skills.
