The Criminal Division of the United States Department Of Justice has just published a 125-page "Resource Guide" to give both non-lawyers and lawyers at least some clarification in the real world workings of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"). Link to the FCPA Resource Guide here: FCPA Guidebook 2012.pdf. The Resource Guide is written in a conversational, non-legalistic style that business persons will likely find helpful. Business persons who conduct business in foreign countries have complained for many years that the practical workings of the FCPA were ambiguous, at best. Employees of American corporations abroad were unsure whether whether relatively minor conduct might be enough to amount to a violation of the law subjecting their employer and themselves to horrific penalties. There were many rumors of "zero tolerance" for even the most abstract payments and no place to quickly consult for an authoritative answer. The Resource Guide, while not perfect, at least partially fills that gap.
The most valuable part of the Resource Guide is the section that lists numerous travel, gift and entertainment hypotheticals that sound very much like real life situations that a corporation engaging in foreign commerce might run into. The first hypothetical for example finds no fault with an American company which provides business class airfare to foreign senior officials traveling a long distance to examine the company's facilities and products especially since the company's own employees would be entitled to such an upgraded ticket if they were on a journey of similar length. The hypothetical continues to find no fault with taking the foreign officials to a reasonably priced dinner, a baseball game and a play. The line is crossed in the hypothetical, however if the foreign officials are given first class tickets, told to bring their spouses and given a week long, all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas after the review of the more mundanely located factory.
Continue reading after the jump.
A second interesting hypothetical considers the legality of a small payment to a governmental clerk in a foreign country in order to encourage the clerk to stamp an application for an environmental permit. The permit should be ministerially granted but bitter experience has shown the applications for the permit can sit on the recalcitrant clerk's desk for months awaiting his approval when such a payment is not made, The Resource Guide allows this payment because it would qualify as a facilitating payment as it is a one time small amount to obtain a routine, non-discretionary governmental service, that is the stamping and filing of the application.
Another section of the Resource Guide addresses the question of who is a "foreign official" the term of art in the FCPA for those who must not be subverted. Defense counsel dealing with payments to an employee of a foreign state-owned company have argued such persons are not foreign officials and therefore payments to them are exempt. The Resource Guide sides with the prosecution on this issue and finds such employees to be government officials.
One commentator was quoted as saying that the Resource Guide is basically a scrapbook of past DOJ and SEC successes with little new information, but at least it is a convenient starting point for answers where there may be no other quick reference source.

Pine Hill police tells FOX 29 that they think someone is trying to lure kids into his van.
There have been two reported attempted lurings that happened yesterday, and it's got parents in Pine Hill very nervous.
Parents in Pine Hill are shaken after two reported attempted luring within a mile of each other on Tuesday.
"Tons of kids walk by those houses every day; that's scary," says Jessica Gandy.
Jessica Gandy was at her pool yesterday when police arrived to ask questions.
A witness reported a van pulling up to a 13 year old girl on West Branch Road. The girl was asked to get inside but she refused.
"All it takes is oh you got hurt? Come here let me help you or something like that. Most of these kids are going to go. They don't know any better," says Gandy.
Then seven hours later it happened again. About a mile away on Erial-Clemtonton Road. Another witness reported a van approaching another teenage girl who was heard saying "no..no" before running away.
In both cases the vehicle was reported to be a white econo line van with dark rear tinted windows. And a partial New Jersey license plate starting with "WG4." The news has parents in Pine hill worried that not one but two attempted lurings happened in their backyard.
"I'm a paranoid parent. So they stay around me 24/7," says Terry Casey. "Awful. Awful. Scared. Scared for the kids who can't come out and play."
Police only have a vague description of the man they are looking for. And they are urging anyone with information on this vehicle or any other reported cases to contact police.
Mayor Michael Nutter says the city is already planning a celebration to honor the Dragons in the near future.

An April 2008 investigative report in the Sacramento
(Calif.) Bee has brought to a rolling boil the long-simmering
dispute between the building industry and safety experts over
contact-triggered (or "bump-fired") pneumatic
While some might fault the report's tone as overly
sensational — a good part of it dwells on graphic
descriptions of injuries and interviews with family members of
fatally injured workers — it raises a question that
can't easily be dismissed: Is the speed and
convenience allegedly gained by using contact-triggered nailing
worth the tens of thousands of injuries — and at least
a few deaths — that it causes each year? (The Bee
story is posted online at
Crunching the numbers. Duke
University researcher Hester Lipscomb has been tracking
pneumatic nailer use and associated rates of injury for more
than a decade, and was among the experts cited by the newspaper
story. During an interview with JLC, she confirmed the
Bee's report of 42,000 nailer injuries per year, a
figure she attributes to a study published in the public-health
journal Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report in 2007.
That number — 42,000 — was recorded at the
height of the recent construction boom in 2005; the annual
average during the five-year study came in somewhat lower, at
37,000 injuries. However, these figures cover only those
injuries that led to an emergency-room visit; according to
Lipscomb, the total number of injuries — many of which
are self-treated — is certainly much higher.
The Bee story also reported Lipscomb's finding that
workers using contact-triggered tools have an injury rate twice
that of workers using sequentially triggered tools, which
require the operator to manually activate the trigger for each
fastener. And that's actually a best-case scenario:
Lipscomb told JLC that this doubling of injury rates with
contact-fired nailers is typical among experienced,
well-trained workers. When inexperienced and poorly trained
— or untrained — workers are considered as
well, injury rates climb even higher.
Other research Lipscomb has conducted reaches similar
conclusions about the dangers of bump-nailing. In 2003 she and
three co-authors published a report based on a multiyear study
of actual accident rates among hundreds of residential
carpenters in the St. Louis area. The authors estimated that 65
percent of the injuries incurred while using contact-trip
nailers could have been prevented if sequential firing had been
used instead. Yet another study — this one among
carpenters in Ohio and North Carolina — concluded that
69 percent of nailer injuries could be attributed to
inadvertent nailer discharge or misfire; both problems can be
largely eliminated by using sequential triggers.
Interestingly, the St. Louis study also showed that 70 percent
of the studied injuries were associated with tasks typical of
framing — rather than with flat-nailing jobs like
sheathing — so it's possible regulatory
agencies would deem bump-nailing acceptably safe for some
applications even if sequential-trip nailers are mandated for
Just a matter of time. In 2002,
pneumatic tool manufacturers responded to growing safety
concerns by adopting ANSI standard SNT-101-2002, under which
they voluntarily ship tools from the factory in
sequential-trigger mode.
Most of these tools, however, are designed to be —
and almost always are — converted to contact
triggering by the user, either with an easily installed
conversion kit or by flipping a selector switch. Given the
continued high injury rate since the adoption of the standard,
some industry insiders concede that an outright ban on
contact-triggered nailers may be inevitable.
"I believe it's coming," says Chris
Dutra, vice president for product development at
Stanley-Bostitch. "Whether it's next year or
in two or three years, it's probably just a matter of
Such regulation, in Dutra's view, won't
necessarily have a major impact on the industry. "If
regulators tell everyone they have to go with sequential
triggers, we'll just do it," he says.
"It's really not an issue as long as
there's a level playing field."
But Dutra dismisses out of hand one contention made in the Bee
report: that manufacturers prefer to sell contact-triggered
tools because they use more nails. "That's
ridiculous," he says. "As someone
who's been involved in product development for years,
I can tell you that's never, ever even been
More to come. One question not addressed by the
Sacramento Bee — but of great interest to
those in the building trades — is whether a wholesale
shift to sequential-fire tools would overwork trigger fingers
enough to cause an upsurge in repetitive-motion injuries.
Lipscomb, for one, doesn't expect that to happen. She
notes that the St. Louis study — which examined every
injury associated with nailer use, not just puncture wounds
— found only two cases of repetitive-motion injury.
(One worker also suffered a back injury from picking up a
nailer.) And even if increased use of sequential-trip nailers
did lead to more such injuries in the future, she argues, the
overall injury picture would be far less dire than it is today,
and any problems that did emerge could be corrected with
better-designed triggers.
Also unknown is what effect a phase-out of contact-trip
nailers would have on productivity. Although many builders are
convinced that contact-trigger tools are substantially more
efficient than sequential-trigger guns, there's little
solid data to back that assumption up. It's a void
Lipscomb's team plans to begin filling with a new
study slated to be released this summer. Stay tuned for more

In response to what it calls "a small number of
Tacoma vehicles exhibiting excessive corrosion of the
frame," Toyota is offering to buy back models sold
from 1995 to 2000. The company will pay one-and-a-half times
the Kelley Blue Book "excellent condition"
value to owners of pickups with frame damage too serious to
repair, and has extended the original warranties of all listed
trucks from three years and 36,000 miles to 15 years and
unlimited mileage. The program covers an estimated 813,000
trucks and is expected to cost the manufacturer up to $100
million. For details, including information on how to schedule
a free frame inspection, call Toyota at 800/331-4331.
A recently released NAHB 2008–2009 national
housing-start forecast contains the usual helping of bad news
that builders have come to expect in the past year or so, but
it also holds out some hope for a turnaround — in some
areas, at least — by next year. The NAHB expects
housing markets in the Northeast and South — excluding
Florida — to recover sooner than those in the Midwest;
markets in California, Phoenix and Las Vegas will lag
As it happens, two recent reports — one from the
Vermont-based Mercury Policy Project and the other from the
Maine Department of Environmental Protection — offer
some perspective on the mercury threat, as well as guidelines
on how to clean up broken bulbs. Neither recommends that
consumers stop using CFLs — only that their use be
avoided in certain applications, such as in easily overturned
lamps in a child's room.
Both reports conclude that a single broken CFL can release
enough vaporized mercury to create a short-term spike in the
indoor mercury level. The increase is significant enough to be
cause for concern. The federal Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry, for example, sets the maximum safe
"reoccupancy level" — the point at
which it's safe to move back into a
mercury-contaminated building that's been
decontaminated — at 1,000 nanograms of mercury per
cubic meter of air. (One nanogram is equal to one billionth of
a gram.)
Tests performed by the Maine DEP found that indoor levels
could briefly rise to as high as 100,000 nanograms of mercury
per cubic meter of air immediately after a lamp was broken. In
one case, a Maine field inspector measured a level of nearly
2,000 nanograms of mercury per cubic meter of air directly
above the spot where a lamp had broken on a carpet several days
However, the two studies also found that the airborne mercury
levels quickly fall to near-background levels once a space has
been ventilated to the outdoors. It's best to take a
common-sense approach to dealing with a broken bulb:
Immediately open a window to allow the vaporized mercury to
escape and — if possible — close the door to
the room where the break occurred. Once the space has
ventilated for 30 minutes, carefully pick up the larger
fragments and put them in a glass jar; use duct tape to lift
chips and dust and then place it, too, in the jar. Seal the jar
tightly for disposal. (State laws on disposal of broken
fluorescents vary. Some require that they be handled as
household hazardous waste, while others consider them regular
Both studies caution against sweeping or vacuuming the area,
which can spread particles of mercury over a wide area.
According to Maine DEP's Stacey Ladner, bulbs that
have broken on a carpeted surface are especially problematic
because they're very difficult to clean thoroughly. If
children or pregnant women live in the house, Ladner says it
may be worth cutting out a dinner-plate–sized piece of
carpeting at the site of the break to prevent any retained
mercury from becoming airborne later.
To read the reports, go to
"We believe that if these companies wish to continue
as market leaders in new residential construction,"
the study's authors wrote of large, publicly traded
home builders, "they should embrace the opportunity to
drive the market toward more green building. If they do not,
they face the risk that smaller companies will surpass them in
meeting this growing area of consumer demand."
The study also ranked the country's 13 biggest
builders numerically according to their commitment to
sustainable environmental practices. KB Home tops the list,
followed by D.R. Horton and Pulte, which tie for second. NVR
comes in last, behind MDC Holdings and Standard Pacific.

Otsego County Treasurer Dan Crowell easily trounced his Republican-backed opponent, Edward Keator Jr., on Tuesday, winning a convincing re-election despite being dogged by Republican suggestions that his heart was no longer in the job and predictions he will not complete a second term.
The final results posted by the Board of Elections late Tuesday had Crowell beating Keator, 6,731 to 4017, with all but paper ballots counted.
"I'm very grateful to the voters for their support," Crowell told The Daily Star. "We've got an exciting four years ahead of us. It will be an opportunity to take a fresh look at how we provide services."
He also said that once the county fulfills its goal of selling the financially troubled Otsego Manor nursing home next year, "we may actually see a declining tax rate" in subsequent years.
Crowell, now back in his office as treasurer, had vacated the position for much of the year after being activated by the military. He is a member of the Army Reserves, holding the rank of captain.
Keator is the treasurer for the village of Cooperstown. Keator and the Republican Party trained their sights on Crowell after the latter announced last summer he would not seek re-election, suggesting he will be deployed again and indicating he was interested in returning to a private-sector job.
However, Democrats, after initially luring then Acting Treasurer Russ Bachman to run for the office, soon learned it was too late to get Crowell off the ballot, and Bachman's candidacy ended when he was unable to muster sufficient valid petitions to remain on the ballot.
The treasurer job pays $62,741 annually.
Crowell called the Republican claims that he would not stay in the job, "flat untrue. I'm here to serve the full four-year term."

It's New Year's so we're guessing you've probably made a few new year's resolutions for 2013. Health is always at the top of the resolution list so we wanted to encourage you to come on down to Hilton Head and get healthy with a beautiful view!
Here are 5 healthy activities you can do at Palmetto Dunes to support those new year's resolutions so they don't get left in the dust:
1) Walk the golf course – We offer three beautiful championship Hilton Head golf courses, each unique and challenging in its own way. When you play one of our courses, instead of opting for the cart, why not walk the course? You'll burn some extra calories, do your heart some good and more thoroughly enjoy your beautiful surroundings. It might even give you some more quality time with your golfing buddies!
2) Bike the resort – There are many paved paths throughout Palmetto Dunes, and the streets within the resort are also bike friendly. Everyone knows a good bike ride is a great workout, plus you're more apt to forget you're exercising as you take in the lovely views at every turn. Instead of driving to Shelter Cove Harbour to shop or dine, why not hop on a bike using our special passageway that lets you avoid crossing Highway 278? We offer Hilton Head bike rentals at Hilton Head Outfitters for everyone in the family.
3) Try a Zike Bike! Sure, biking is great on its own, but using this unique bike, you'll get even more of a workout. The Zike Bike is designed as a cross between a bike and an elliptical machine. You use the elliptical movement to power the bike and work your body even harder. Visit Hilton Head Outfitters to try one or rent one on your Hilton Head vacation.
4) Fall in "love" with tennis – When you book a Hilton Head vacation home or Hilton Head vacation villa with Palmetto Dunes, you get two free hours of tennis daily. Be sure to take advantage of that court time to get in a great tennis workout. If you'd like a little more structure, head over to our Hilton Head tennis academy for a variety of lessons, clinics and even a Cardio Tennis class.
5) Paddleboard our lagoon – Pick a sunny winter afternoon and head out on our 11-mile inland lagoon to try the fastest growing watersport, paddleboarding. When paddleboarding, you stand on a board similar to a surf board and use a paddle to navigate your way through the lagoon. The balance and core work required is like no other! Expect washboard abs if you do this sport regularly :).
What's your favorite way to be healthy at Palmetto Dunes? Please share with us your new year's resolutions and we'll suggest some ways we can support them here at the beach. If we can help you plan activities or a vacation to our beautiful resort, please give us a call at 866-744-7558. Happy New Year's!
Lots of families who visit Palmetto Dunes each summer love to learn how to surf in Hilton Head and the experience would not be the same without our fun and colorful surf instructors.
In this week's blog, we want to introduce you to Logan Cambron, our surf instructor. Get to know him a little better and come take a surf lesson from Capt Logan!
What is your job title and what are your responsibilities?
"I'm in charge of the surf program, but I also do kayaks and bikes. I have my captain's license, so I'm going to be piloting some of the lagoon boats."
What is the best part of your job?
"Just the look on [my campers'] faces when they stand all the way up during a surf lesson. I also love getting paid to work on the beach."
How did you wind up at Palmetto Dunes?
"I grew up on Hilton Head Island. I know there aren't many of us who can say that. As for Palmetto Dunes, I had worked at the General Store... Altogether, I've been here eight or nine years."
What is the best thing about Hilton Head that most tourists don't know?
"The natural beauty that we've kept unspoiled. You have to see it to believe it."
What's your favorite spot on the island?
"The Dunes House. That's where I've always gone to surf. The surfing is better in the morning before everyone gets out there and it gets windy."
What are the two most-played songs on your iPod?
"Well, I don't have an iPod, but if I did, I'd play '409' by The Beach Boys and 'Hey, Ya,' by OutKast.
Have you surfed with Capt Logan? Share your experience with us!
How cool would it be to tell friends and family you learned to surf while on your summer Hilton Head vacation? Maybe even throw around a little lingo, "The waves were waist to head high and glassy."
The experts at Hilton Head Outfitters at Palmetto Dunes will teach you everything you need to know during a week-long Surf School, from how to paddle and pop-up, to picking the right wave and finding your balance while riding a frothy white wave into shore.
With an emphasis on safety and the basic fundamentals, Hilton Head Outfitters' surf school is held throughout the summer. The Hilton Head surfing school specializes in teaching kids to surf, but the camp is open to all ages. Entire families have even signed up!
Each day, you'll spend one and a half hours on the beach in a small group session ($80 p/p). You also can choose from a private lesson for one-on-one instruction ($125 p/p). The staff will help you choose between 7-foot and 9-foot soft-top boards, which are better for learning than a hard fiber glass board.
While on the sand, instructors like Captain Logan will help you learn the basics of paddling out and popping up on the board. They'll show you the perfect positioning for your feet and work on your balance.
When you're ready to hit the waves, rest assured, the camp is held in shallow water, which is perfect for youngsters. Wipeouts are totally part of the experience, but when you get in the zone and ride in that first wave, it will be an experience you'll never forget … and a story you'll probably tell for ages. Recent surf campers have even been doing headstands on paddleboards and riding tandem together!
Registration is required, but you just need to call (866) 650-4132 to reserve your spots. Need a little more information and inspiration? Watch this fun video below about the camp. You'll be ready to hang 10 for sure!
So you've set the date, picked the location and asked your friends to be in your wedding party but you just can't ask the boss for an extra week off for your honeymoon quite yet.
The honeymoon is the icing on your wedded bliss cake but for many it's extremely challenging to plan more time off after the wedding planning week amidst work or school schedules. That's why we've created the Mini Moon Package.
This mini vacation after your nuptials will give you the much needed breather you need but will allow you to go back to work or school without taking too many extra PTO days! This package is also ideal for those looking for a long weekend getaway to rekindle the flames for Valentine's Day with all the spa, food and romance you could want.
The Mini Moon package includes:
Be bold and follow in the footsteps of William and Kate and Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries (except try to stay married longer than 72 days) and try our new Mini Moon. Call us at 866-744-7558 for more information and make sure to visit us at www.palmettodunes.com .
If your kids are looking to try something new and exciting this summer then head down to Hilton Head Outfitters and sign up for our surf camp! The classes are 90 minutes long and available for all ages. Captain Byron Sewell gives private attention to all attendees and brings his radical experience to the class!
Captain Byron was born on Hilton Head Island and has been a competitive surfer for 12 years. He has 5 State Championship titles and has even won an East Coast Championship. When he's not in Hilton Head helping your child catch a wave, you can find him either in Hawaii or in Costa Rica from November through May running a surfing adventure guide.
Every class starts with a 10-minute yoga stretch to get everyone loose and in the right frame of mind. All classes are full of laughter and he ends each session with a watermelon seed spitting contest! So get your children out there for fun in the surf so they can tell everyone they've been surfing in Hilton Head. Cowabunga dudes!

Unless you live in Central Kentucky, as soon as I say that John Calipari is in the news, your first thought is, "What did he get caught doing now?"
And when I say that Coach Cal just took to Twitter to tell all former Wildcat players in the NBA that they can workout in Lexington during the lockout, don't you just start sweating on behalf of every Wildcat fan out there?
Of course, there's probably nothing wrong with this. Any university would welcome the opportunity to have their top alumni back in the fold, even for a little while, to drum up some interest and good will.
The only snafu could come if any of Calipari's "guests" and visiting recruits end up in the same room together. But Coach Cal's too smart to let that happen. Or at least for you to find out about it for a couple years.

Blogging from patches beach with the wordpress iphone app
It's over 26 degrees with a slight northerly and I'm typing this from my towel on the sand at patches beach. This stretch of beach between Evans head and the ballina wall is long and featureless so is a favorite for locals and horse riders making the most of the long white expanse.
I'm starting to become familiar, through local knowledge and tips, with the tide and the wind to predict the good days for fishing, surfing or swimming. Todays northerly is generally not welcome as the sea is churned up and has the potential for jellyfish to be blown down from warmer waters.
Ok back to my *research* … Signing off from my spot in the sun, Dylan.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT)- Wilmington residents are taking advantage of a special delivery system during this winter storm.
Domino's franchises in the Port City are offering to deliver prescription medication orders, along with pizza dishes, to residents who find themselves stuck at home due to winter weather and poor driving conditions.
According to Gene Galindo, Director of Operations for Wilmington Domino's franchises, the company decided to offer this special deal for the first time during the winter storm. Galindo said he wanted to help out customers who couldn't leave their homes to pick up food or medication.
Galindo said a dozen customers have already taken advantage of the medication delivery. He said all customers have to do, is call-ahead to their pharmacy, pre-pay for their medication, and let the pharmacists know that a delivery driver will be picking up their order.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - In North Carolina, eight people have died from the flu.
Dr. Kamitsuka is the hospital epidemiologist at New Hanover Regional Medical Center. He is an expert on flu prevention and treatment.
According to Kamitsuka, the elderly, and young children are the most at risk of dying from the flu.
He says, underlying heart or lung issues combined with the flu can be a dangerous combination.
Kamitsuka says it is not too late to get the flu shot. The shot is the main source of prevention as it exposes the body to a form of the flu so the body can protect itself.
"By all of us getting the flu shot, we provide sort of a cocoon effect for those who are most vulnerable," says Kamitsuka, "that's why it's important we all get the shot."

Information About Scooter And Power Chairs Near
Allenspark, Colorado
There are many reasons why Allenspark, Colorado residents might want an electric mobility aid. Users might want a mobility scooter to help them get around their Allenspark neighborhood. Or they may like a power chair to make indoor activities easier. Whatever Allenspark residents need electric mobility help with, chances are there is a mobility scooter or power chair that's right for them.
Mobility scooters are developed with strength and stability in mind. They are ideal for users that need help getting around outdoors. Some scooter models are light-weight and easy to take apart. On the other end of the spectrum, there are heavy-duty scooters that are great for rough surfaces.
Power chairs are smaller and more agile than mobility scooters. They usually perform better indoors than outdoors. Their tight turning radius means they can operate well inside, even in small spaces. They require a minimum of physical strength to use, and can be easily operated by most people.
To help users find the best mobility product for them, AllMobilityScooters.com has created a directory of The SCOOTER Store locations near Allenspark.

Torii Hunter hasn't played in a game since May 12, as the Angels placed him on the restricted list so he could deal with a matter involving his son. Hunter's 17-year-old son Darius was arrested in Texas on charges related to sexual assault, and Hunter said he wouldn't come back to baseball until the issue was resolved.
Take it away, Mike Scioscia:
#Angels MGR Mike Scioscia said RF Torii Hunter will "likely" re-join team when it gets home Monday or Tuesday.— Mike DiGiovanna (@MikeDiGiovanna) May 23, 2012
Not long ago a family lawyer called for all the charges to be dismissed, and if Hunter's planning to return, that suggests that things are nearing a conclusion. Mark Trumbo has manned right field in Hunter's absence, and while Trumbo doesn't offer Hunter's range or charm, he does own a .981 OPS. Since Hunter last played, Trumbo has batted 17-for-41 with five doubles and a dinger. I'd say that is satisfactory production.

Joy Merrilees said her alias is "Crazy Chick in the Rubber Boots," and it just so happens this crazy chick is the winemaker behind our wine-of-the-week winner: the Steele, 2012 Lake County Cabernet Rosé.
This tangy rosé has a big personality with bold, ripe fruit. It's focused, with notes of strawberry, mineral and spice. The dry rosé has a crisp finish and it's a steal for the price.
Merrilees said she's a good fit for producing rosé because she's an all-out fan.
"I love drinking it," she said. "It's the perfect balance between white and red, and pairs with oh so many things."
Merrilees said what the uninitiated don't know about rosé is that "men drink pink ... Rosés are delicious and most of them are not the sweet style that consumers expect. This one is dry and refreshing."
At Steele Wines in Kelseyville, Merrilees is the assistant winemaker. She has a degree in plant sciences from Humboldt State University, and has taken additional classes at UC Davis.
What Merrilees finds most fascinating about winemaking is the progression from grapes to bottle.
"There are so many small choices to make along the way that can make a big effect in the long run," she said.
Sometimes making rosé can be a bit daunting for her, like when she wakes up in the middle of the night worrying if the color is just right. That said, she finds it exhilarating when she reels in all the flavors she wants.
Merrilees considers herself an accidental winemaker, of sorts.
"Well, they don't teach you that you can have a job in alcohol in high school," she joked. "I fell in love with wine by accident, as most of us do. It was while in New Zealand and I had Peregrine Pinot Noir 2001. It knocked my socks off, and I've been chasing the dream ever since."

BMW Performance Air Intake System
Getting everything your engine has to give.
The BMW Performance Air Intake System captures all the air your engine can possibly use, then introduces it as evenly as the engine can possibly use it, in the highest possible density. It generates more complete and more explosive combustion — and a fuller expression of your engine's sheer power and torque.
Upgrading to a BMW Performance Air Intake System will unleash gains of up to 3 horsepower and 3 ft-lbs. of torque, while also helping the engine to operate more efficiently with a 30% reduction in back pressure and increased overall performance.
This dynamic breathing system was developed with computer simulations that revealed the optional size, shape, number and position of pathways that not only allow, but actually inspire the most unrestrained flow of fresh air.
The end result is a vehicle that responds to throttle inputs more robustly, and accelerates more energetically. It is not a coincidence that the innovative BMW Performance Air Intake System even makes your BMW sound faster.

ARLINGTON – With lake levels quickly dipping across North Texas, water district officials say restrictions are likely to start next month.
Chad Lorance, spokesman for the Tarrant Regional Water District, says the October and November period was the second driest on record. Lorance says the ground is so dry that moderate rain would soak in without running off into reservoirs.
The district's seven lake system is at 78 percent capacity. Seventy-five percent triggers stage one restrictions.
"We haven't gotten the rainfall," says Mary Gugliuzza of the Fort Worth Water Department. "And because of the warmer temperatures the water district says we're seeing greater water evaporation on the lakes."
Lakes are losing about 1 percent every two weeks. At that rate, restrictions will start in mid January.
"I think it's more when than if we're going to hit stage one right now," says Gugliuzza. "We're only 3 percent away."
Ranchers, farmers and fire fighters are already dealing with the consequences.
"Once the embers get on the ground they can run from yard to yard and fence to fence," said Lt. Kevin Seeton of the Arlington Fire Department. "Huge problem this time of year."
Arlington put three alarms on a house fire Wednesday because it appeared to be spreading to other homes.
The Fort Worth water department is about to print bill inserts warning customers to get ready to limit watering to twice a week.

#25 Point Park cruises to victory at Houghton, win streak reaches two months
Feb. 4, 2012
Kristen Beatty and the Pioneers have not lost since Dec. 3, a span of two months.
HOUGHTON, N.Y. -- Point Park University, the No. 25 team in NAIA Division II women's basketball, extended its winning streak to more than two months in length with Saturday's 77-49 victory at Houghton College.
With the American Mideast Conference victory, the Pioneers (18-4, 9-0 AMC) have not lost since Dec. 3 when they fell at Rio Grande, 77-67. Point Park extended its school-record win streak to 13 games and swept the season series with Houghton (12-10, 4-6 AMC).
The Pioneers move to within one victory of the school record for wins. The 1993-94 team holds the standard with a final record of 19-12. Point Park has five games remaining beginning with a road date at Walsh on Tuesday.
Point Park had an easy time with Houghton from start to finish. The Pioneers, who broke into the NAIA Divsion II Top 25 Coaches' Poll on Monday, were up 14-2 at the 12:43 mark of the first half.
Point Park, which ranks second in the nation in scoring defense at 52.0 ppg, did not allow Houghton to get out of double figures the first 12 minutes. Point Park led, 24-8, with a little more than eight minutes to go before halftime.
Joncelyn Peterkin, a 6-2 center from West Mifflin had 10 of her team-high 14 points the first half as the Pioneers were ahead, 39-24, at the break. Peterkin, a senior, finished with seven rebounds and was 5 of 10 from the field.
Point guard April Austin, a senior from Penn Hills, Pa., totaled 13 points and six assists. Emily Schartner, a junior guard from Finleyville, Pa., had 10 points with eight coming the first 20 minutes.
Point Park built a 52-29 lead with 14:30 to go and maintained at least a 20-point lead except for a few brief seconds. The Pioneers bumped their advantage to 30 points, 72-42, with 3:15 to go.
Point Park shot well from the field as its 49-percent accuracy was 12 points higher than its season average. Point Park was just 3 of 15 from long range but was 33 of 67 overall.
The final margin of 28 points marked the most lopsided AMC win for Point Park this year. The Pioneers limited Houghton to 29-percent shooting (15 of 51), although the Highlanders made up ground by going 8 of 20 (40 percent) from long range.
Kristen Moose was the only Houghton player in double figures with 14 points on 4 of 11 shooting. Jennifer Hudson had nine points on 3 of 5 from long range, but no one else had much success shooting the ball.
Point Park won the battle of the boards, 42-33, and committed 18 turnovers compared to 26 for Houghton.
Point Park had won the earlier meeting with Houghton, 65-50, at home Jan. 17. The Pioneers held a slim lead of 49-48 but did not allow a field goal the last 7:49 in ending the game on a 15-2 run.

'We are grateful to the Duke for his understanding'
The Metropolitan Police has said the force is grateful to the Duke of York for his understanding after he was challenged by officers in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.
Prince Andrew was asked to confirm his identity after a break-in at the Palace 48 hours earlier.
– Metropolitan Police statement
In light of media reports we can confirm that the man spoken to by officers was the Duke of York. We are making this public with HRH's permission.
We are grateful to the Duke for his understanding and have apologised for any inconvenience caused.
An earlier statement had only confirmed a man was ordered to verify his identity by two officers in the palace's gardens at around 6pm on Wednesday.

All the recent rain Mid-Michigan has had lately, coupled with roller coaster temperatures, have created huge potholes across our state.
Those teeth-chattering potholes have people talking in Mid-Michigan, and not in a good way.
"The front end of my truck has taken a beating," said Steven Beson, a Bay City resident.
Beson owns a grocery store in town and told TV5 customers regularly regale him with stories about gaping potholes around the Banks neighborhood.
He passed along a personal experience.
"Well, I crossed the road to go to the body shop across the road over at C.J.'s, and it looked like just a little bird bath there, and I stepped in it and it went well over my ankle."
The owner of the body shop where Beson took his truck to get repaired after it was damaged by the potholes also weighed in on the situation.
"They're pretty bad, I wish they'd do a lot more road work than they've been doing, it's bad when you can't even drive down the road without knocking the spring out of your car," said C.J. Cunningham, auto repair shop owner.
TV5's Facebook friends agree, telling us that in Genesee County, Farrand Road between Linden and the expressway overpass is a mess, along with Kelly Road between Elms and Linden.
In Saginaw County, Mackinaw Road in front of Arthur Hill High School is on the pothole wall of shame.
In Bay County Flajole Road between U.S. 10 and Salzburg in Williams Township and Trumbull Avenue in Bay City also made the list. And they represent the tip of the iceberg.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation, a pothole is typically fixed by cleaning out loose debris and filling it with a hot and cold asphalt patch. Wary drivers just want road crews to get rid of the problem, and soon.
"We've just gotta attack 'em a little more often," said Beson.

|Raabe Motor continues strong commitment to FFA
|Thursday, December 13, 2012 1:08 PM
DELPHOS — Randy Custer has announced that Raabe Motor Sales, Inc., will join Ford Motor Company in its ongoing commitment to the National FFA (formerly known as the Future Farmers of America).
Ford has committed to a 16th year of the Built Ford Tough – FFA collegiate scholarship program, which will award $1,000 scholarships to hundreds of FFA members, each co-sponsored by Ford Dealers like Raabe Motor Sales, Inc.
Ford has supported the National FFA since the first F-Series truck was introduced in 1948 and has sponsored the Built Ford Tough collegiate scholarship program since 1997. The program, equally funded by Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers, has awarded over 7 million in scholarships to FFA members.
Raabe Motor Sales, Inc., is sponsoring the BFT collegiate scholarship program for Jefferson High School, Elida High School and Spencerville High School. For the 2012-2013 school year, they are helping four local student(s) attend the college of their choice.
To be eligible, FFA members must submit an online 2013 Scholarship Application at www.ffa.org and take the required Signature Page to Raabe Motor Sales, Inc., for the dealer endorsement and official dealer code, thus providing FFA members the opportunity to meet – and thank – the dealer for their support of continuing education.
"We're pleased to be able to support the local chapter and Ford Motor Company in its strong commitment to the National FFA," Custer said. "All our previous scholarship recipients tell us how grateful they are for the financial support and how the FFA experience has changed their lives."
"Visit any local farm and you can see that trucks – particularly F-Series – play an integral role in the agricultural industry," says Randy Custer. We want to help these future leaders succeed and become our customers from the start of their careers to the end – just like many of their parents and grandparents."
