Canada showed that they are still Team Canada with an 8-2 win over Germany Tuesday night in a Men's Hockey Qualification game.
Jarome Iginla scored two goals while Mike Richards, Joe Thornton, Rich Nash, Sidney Crosby, Shea Weber and Scott Niedermayer all scored one goal each. German goals were scored by Manuel Klinge and Marcel Goc. The Canadians outmatched a German team that will not win a game in these Olympics.
Canada outshot the Germans 39-23, including a 14-4 first period. The Germans looked overwhelmed for most of the game, while Canada showed why they are still a team that will contend for gold heading into the quarterfinals.
Canada converted on one of two powerplay chances while Canada was perfect on the penalty kill.
The rival Russians are up next on Wednesday night. This game was expected to be a matchup for the gold medal, not a quarterfinal game. The loser of this game is not going to be eligible for a medal, which is shocking in its own right.

UK has 'perhaps the safest food in the world'
British consumers have access to "perhaps the safest food in the world" after the horse meat scandal, according to a food expert.
Barbara Gallani, from the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) told Daybreak the Government acknowledged there were "some vulnerabilities, some areas where consumers and business are exposed", which they were dealing with after the horse meat scandal.
"The changes that have been put in place are quite wide-ranging; first of all there are more announced audits in businesses. The testing regime has been reviewed, informed by risk assessments that are now based on a much broader range of data.
"What we have learned is a much better sharing of data and intelligence, to make sure we know where the risks are."

Health Poverty and Place: Modeling Inequalities in Accra Using RS and GIS
Principal Investigator: John Weeks
Affiliation: San Diego State University
Country: USA
Abstract: This project, through a detailed analysis of spatial disparities in health in Accra, Ghana, aims to provide a model for the interpretation of urban health inequalities in cities in poor countries. Using Accra in Ghana, we will generate methods that we hope will serve as templates for comparative analyses of other major cities in the developing world. The project will produce a geographical synopsis of the differentials in health and mortality within the urban area in a format immediately accessible to government and the development agencies tasked with the improvement of health overall and with the reduction of health inequalities;map the distribution of poverty (both income and wealth) in the city and assess its spatial association with selected health and mortality outcomes;using remote sensing and GIS technology, measure the association of adverse health and mortality outcomes with neighborhood ecology, including the association with spatial measures derived from observations of physical features and built structures visible from multi-spectral high spatial resolution satellite imagery;and assess the additional contribution of community-level variables including social organization and institutions to the production of inequalities in health and mortality, net of individual-level characteristics. Our research involves the following major steps: (i) apply new methods of defining urban neighborhoods across space and time using census and survey data and information from remotely sensed imagery;(2) validate data-derived neighborhood definitions, attributes, and boundaries with field assessments in a purposive sample of Accra neighborhoods;(3) assemble existing census-based, survey-based, and vital statistics-based measures of morbidity and mortality at the neighborhood level, based on the derived neighborhood definitions, as well as existing and updated imagery and geographic layers;(4) re-interview (in 2008) the respondents to the 2003 Accra Women's Health Survey to generate new measures of neighborhood-level health outcomes and changes in those outcomes;(5) employ spatial analytic, multivariate and multi-level analyses to predict the inequalities in health outcomes between and within neighborhoods of Accra;(6) develop models that build on the WHS and DHS data in combination with the imagery to predict health outcomes by neighborhood;(7) apply the modeling algorithms to two key resources-the Demographic and Health Survey and remotely sensed imagery-to predict the variability (inequality) in neighborhood level health outcomes in Accra;and (8) employ the results locally in Accra for health policy and planning purposes, and use the results from relatively data-rich Accra to develop models that can subsequently be used to estimate the spatial variability in health in data-poorer cities in sub-Saharan Africa.

Mississippi Fishermen Say Spill Still Hurting Seafood IndustryBy Evelina Burnett | Published 18 Apr 2014 09:34am |
This Sunday marks the fourth anniversary of the deadly explosion that lead to the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Mississippi fishermen say that, four years later, their industry is still hurting.
Fishermen repair their shrimp boats at the Lighthouse Fishing Pier in Biloxi. Thao Vu, with the Mississippi Coalition for Vietnamese American Fisherfolk and Families, says many fishermen here have their lives invested in these boats.
"They can't suddenly abandon fishing - that's all they know," she says. "And with the language barriers and the older age of the fishermen, it's not something that they could readily leave fishing and go into another occupation."
Ngo Gin is a deckhand on a Biloxi shrimp boat. Vu translates for him.
"Before the BP oil drilling disaster, they were able to catch a consistent amount of shrimp," she translates. "He works on a bigger boat, and they would go out for maybe a month or so. Post-BP, they're not catching near the amount of volume they used to. And that's a great concern, because the fuel and expenses are still very high."
Gin says they've had trips where they spend more on fuel and supplies than they earn from the catch. His wife has had to leave the area, he says, to find work to support the family.
BP said in a recent report it's spent $27 billion on restoration and response and says the Gulf is making significant progress.
But Vu says she's seen an increase in people looking for help, for everything from mortgages to harbor fees.
With multi-generational families dependent on a healthy gulf, Vu says they want a role in the restoration.
"We're in a process now of coastal restoration that's been going on for two years now," she says. "And we would really implore that federal and state agencies develop a process where they will collobrate more, particularly with the Vietnamese American fishermen, who possess so much of the traditional ecological knowledge and contribute in a meaningful way in the restoration of the damaged Gulf, its ecosystems, marine life and fisheries."
Mississippi will start a three-year restoration planning project next month that officials say will include community participation.
The state's commercial fishermen caught almost $50 million dollars worth of seafood in 2012.

MGM Resorts International, owner of such popular Las Vegas resorts and casinos as the Excalibur and the Bellagio, recently filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against the owner of the Internet domain excaliburpoker.com.
Excaliburpoker.com owner and operator Adam Majewski does not believe his website's name infringes on MGM's rights.
"Excalibur is not a distinctive mark," Majewski's court documents stated, according to the Las Vegas Sun. "It was the sword of kings in the Arthur legends. Thousands of businesses use this name – Excalibur Bowling, Excalibur Taxi and even Excalibur Condoms."
With the website's line of business very similar to that of its popular casino, MGM believes that the domain name is allowing Majewski to piggy-back off of MGM. MGM is alleging the defendant is guilty of "cybersquatting," or using a domain with the intent to profit off of another person's or business' trademark.
MGM is in lawsuits with several other domains, including luxorpoker.com and bellagioonlinepoker.com. MGM is hoping to launch its own online poker websites tied to its popular casinos, and believes these competing domains could stymie these plans.

A deal that the state of Florida has reached with Amazon could be a major boon for employment in the Tampa Bay area, as well as the local economy.
Gov. Rick Scott and Amazon announced the deal Thursday in which the Internet retail giant would create 3,000 new jobs in Florida by 2016 -- with about a third of those likely headed for a 1-million-square-foot warehouse in nearby Ruskin.
But the good news comes with a catch: The new jobs in the state also mean consumers will be required to pay a 6 percent state sales tax on all the books, DVDs, CDs and other products they buy through Amazon.com.
The tax will kick in once the company opens its Florida operations centers, possibly next year.
"Amazon's commitment to create more than 3,000 new jobs in Florida is further proof that we've turned our economy around," Scott said in a statement. "Amazon will continue to work with (state officials) on its ongoing projects which will include a return on any taxpayer investment, and we look forward to the company's announcements as it chooses locations."
Details of the Amazon proposal were included in a packet of information provided to Hillsborough County commissioners.
As part of the agreement, Hillsborough officials will be asked next week to approve nearly $6.6 million in financial incentives for Amazon.
In exchange, Amazon would create 1,000 jobs in the South Shore area of Ruskin near State Road 674 and Interstate 75, and invest up to $200 million in a massive "state of the art facility."
The deal could be good news for Manatee County workers who would have a relatively easy commute to the Amazon warehouse.
Of the 1,000 jobs, 375 would be "higher-wage quality jobs," officials said, with average annual pay of $47,581.
"At that salary range, people would commute," said Sally Hill, a spokeswoman for Suncoast Workforce.
She added Suncoast Workforce has partnered with other regions before to place workers in jobs.
"It's too early to tell how we might partner with them and what we might do," Hill said Friday.
Hillsborough county commissioners were thrilled at the prospect of getting the warehouse in an area that needs an economic boost.
"This is a grand slam for South Shore," said commission Chairman Ken Hagan. "It's an extraordinary opportunity for Hillsborough County."
Commissioner Sandra Murman, who represents the area where the distribution center is being considered, said she's "ecstatic."
"This is the big silver bullet we've needed to kick off our economic development efforts," Murman said.
The cost to the county would be spread out over seven years starting in 2016. Officials say it would be awarded to the company only if it builds the complex and creates jobs.
"From that point of view, it's a really good value," said county Administrator Mike Merrill. "And South County definitely needs jobs."
It's also good news for local builders who have focused efforts lately on north Manatee which offers a quick commute to Ruskin.
Homebuilder Pat Neal of Neal Communities said Amazon's move to Ruskin, as well as its plans for two other Florida cities, is a big coup for the state.
"The government has been working on Amazon for a long time," the former state senator said. "A 3,000-person employer only comes once in a while."
Neal's developments in Parrish would be a 25-minute drive from the warehouse in Ruskin, and the developer said he's ready to provide homes to the workers if they come.
"What we need is for young people in this community to have jobs," Neal said. "As a homebuilder, I have to say I only sell to folks that retire from Michigan because young people don't have confidence in the housing market."
Neal is building homes with prices starting from $143,000 in Forest Creek and will open Sugar Mill Lakes soon with homes offered from the mid-100s. With $25,000 down on a $150,000 home with a favorable mortgage, the monthly payment after insurance and taxes would be $700 to $800, Neal said. "It's still lower than rent," he said.
Negotiations between Amazon and the state seemed dead last month after Scott signaled that he would not support a proposal that would include -- essentially -- a tax increase for many Floridians. But Scott spokeswoman Melissa Sellers said the deal announced Thursday was not a reversal of his earlier stance but a "culmination of ongoing discussions."
When the facilities are operational, Amazon will begin collecting the 6 percent state sales tax as required under Florida law. A 1992 U.S. Supreme Court decision ruled that an Internet company collects sales taxes only in states where they are physically located, which would eventually include Florida.
"We haven't had a chance to review the proposal," said John Fleming, spokesman for the Florida Retail Federation, an association of 6,000 small and large retailers who are physically located in the state and must levy sales taxes on their transactions. "We'd like to have more details on the time line. There are a lot of questions about location and what type of facilities we're talking about."
The federation has long complained of the unfair advantages online companies like Amazon have. The Florida Retail Federation estimates that the state loses $450 million a year in online sales taxes, with Amazon accounting for about 10 percent to 20 percent of that total.
State officials said they could not provide any more specifics because negotiations are ongoing and confidential under Florida law.
"We are truly in the process of negotiations where it's confidential," said Melissa Medley, chief marketing officer with Enterprise Florida, the public-private economic partnership overseeing the discussions, which could include additional warehouses.
Overall, the state says Amazon would invest $300 million in Florida.
"The company is very forthcoming in saying that they are making a commitment, but we haven't progressed that far into the project to give any details," Medley said.

Re-sizing API.
At this moment only ExtJS supports automatically layout resizing and stretching, awesome feature for business applications. There could be something like Layout Panel which will handle it's content resizing and stretching features.
It would be nice to have a "Masonry-like" functionality in Kendo
It would be nice if the screen resizes for the layout control to reevaluate and re-arrange the items.
As todd mentioned in the webinar, it sucks to have to have external dependencies on other libraries :)
The framework also should have layout managers
Slated for our Q3 2013 release (Nov)

My app is really slow with all the JS used for fitting / stretching content in the different panels
I really need something native
Any thoughts about putting something like the w2ui Panel layout into Kendo?
I know you have an article about Bootstrap Layout: with Kendo, but I find the panels, the load content options, etc., cleaner for a designer to think about.
Jason commented
If you are building a JavaScript application this can be achieved with Twitter Bootstrap or Flex Box in HTML 5 easily.
Paul Sinnema commented
We would really benefit from this.I am sure that a lot of business application developers share the same problems with resizing.
Elliot Slater commented
With the number of votes this has received I think it is pretty clear it should be promoted from "Under Review" to "Will be Implemented". Can we get some feedback on this?
Daniel Pach commented
Any updates on this?
Rahul Sharma commented
What is the current state of Layout Manager in Kendo UI?
HRR commented
This would be really helpful!
HRR commented
I would really URGE you guys to look @ an layout system. It will increase the usability enormous.
Jonathan commented
I agree with Vadim and Bob as well. A properly namespaced responsive css grid for multi-column fluid and fixed layouts would be a fantastic addition to KendoUI. The twitter bootstrap grid is nice, but it is poorly namespace. A JS layout framework is of less use to me.
So can Telerik consider including a 12 column grid like the Twitter folks did for Bootstrap? I am also asking for an MDI style interface in a seperate post (ala Visual Studio with docking, float, and pinned sections).
Bob Archer commented
I have to agree with Vadim.... you really do want to use javascript to do sizing if you can at all avoid it. Take a look at twitter bootstrap. A very excellent responsive CSS framework.
Vadim commented
Well not so quick. I have been working with EXTJS for years and I agree that Sencha layouts are useful (in fact mandatory) when you build JS-based application employing EXTJS framework.
But this also a weakness of EXTJS. Nowadays there are so many CSS grid frameworks, that employ latest CSS3 features to do adaptive layouts. In fact you may design your Web-page to work and look great on a desktop, tablet and smart phone using media queries. One of those CSS grids is Foundation CSS for example. And this is where EXTJS is not applicable because there is no way you could integrate EXTJS layouts governed by the JS code with the adaptive Web design, which is based on natural ability of the modern browsers to render HTML.
And this is where the strength of Kendo UI could be. In fact knowing EXTJS well I have started learning Kendo UI just because I could not marry Foundation CSS and EXTJS. Besides EXTJS is very heavy. Only CSS file is about 250K
So I think Kendo UI has its own niche. What I would like to suggest is make your widgets resize seamlessly in the Web page that implements the adaptive design or at least provide a method for each widget to resize it easily (EXTJS has widget_instance.doLayout() for example)
Vesselin Obreshkov commented
Yeah, I've wished Kendo had something like their Layout Panel. You can obviously accomplish some of those things by hand but I too have wished many times for this and other similar features that exist in Sencha's stack...
silverlightGeek commented
We need this especially in Kendo UI for MVC
Anonymous commented
Here's YUI2s - http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/layout/
James Hancock commented
See devexpress xtraLayout.
Please give me that functionality in the browser, complete with renaming, serializing customized layouts, etc. etc.
Let me clarify, I come from the SilverLight & Blend world. Silverlight has layout containers beyond what you have with PaneBars, Spliters, Accoridans, and Tabs. The most powerful one is the GridLayout. It has gridsplitters, align points, and different ways of scaling the content.
This might be a bit of work, but even the sencha layout controls discussed below would be a great addition.
In addition a IDE such as http://maqetta.org would really help (it is not blend, but it is greatly needed).
coming from the silverlight/blend world, I want to be able to place my controls in something like a Grid box and nest Grids. What I am looking for is an abstraction that maps to tables, divs, spans, etc, and an WYSWIG design surface that lets me place my controls withing that Grid flow layout control box. That would be the ideal, but I will settle for even a simple WYSWIG layout tool that I can also do simple styleing on the controls.
Sergiu Boboc commented
http://www.sencha.com/products/extjs/examples/#sample-7 A layout manager is good for better positioning of the UI elements and takes care automatically of the re-sizing issues. I certainly need one. Thanks

Growing (and unfortunate) trend among the 'Technorati'
Lately, something that I've noticed and am becoming increasingly frustrated by, is the attitude shift, and ever growing egos in the tech journalist community. As technology in society gets bigger and more prevalent among your average consumer, the fight for eyeballs and page clicks and advertising dollars is increasing proportionately - maybe exponentially, even. The result, it seems, is that catty-ness, high school-ish, and generally poor, immature behaviour between tech journalists is now at an all time high, be it on Twitter, a comments section, a podcast - whatever. Is there ever a moment where one site or journalist isn't in some sort of spat with another anymore? When it comes to consumer electronics products, competition, and hate or a strong dislike for the rival company is good for the consumer. I don't think the same can be said for the media who cover these products. All of this back biting, jealousy, and childish behaviour distracts from the story, and places the writer above the product they're supposed to be covering. I don't typically see this amongst the mainstream media, apart from perhaps egomaniacs like Keith Olbermann and Bill O'Reilly, but is that really what this community aspires to, or wants to become? I don't know if this is calculated, in an effort to build hype and interest for their sites, but it's definitely not a positive or helpful shift. Not in my eyes, anyway.
And for the record, its seems to predominantly be coming from other sites and journalists, directed towards The Verge. Most recently Om Malik last night, and Gruber this morning (regarding review scores, etc.), and less recently Ryan Block making comments re: Josh that were at the height of passive aggressiveness, and sort of embarrassing, frankly.
The tech world has always felt like a small, fairly tight-knit community, and it's a shame to see that going away.

Jelly Vibrators Make You Hum
Have you heard about the Canadian video game that's designed to teach young people about responsible sex? It has characters named the Sperminator and Wonder Vag.
No, I'm not making this up.
The original was so controversial it ran afoul of the Catholic school board since the school board focused on abstinence. No surprise there. In the original, The Sperminator is infected and he squirts his semen all over Wonder Vag, who occasionally cries out "Aaah! Right in the face!" The sequel should get the same response from those who have a problem with it. In the sequel, Wonder Vag, who has a figure like a Barbie doll, is caged. The Sperminator is cured and loses his penis arms. Yes, it's surreal.
The gist of the game is that Wonder Vag is kidnapped by her evil twin sister, Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary keeps her sister trapped in a cage in a bar where she's forced to drink booze unless she's rescued. Along comes The Sperminator – now cured and divested of his penis arms – as well as other superheroes and they rescue her. The game player answers questions about sex to release Wonder Vag. You of course have to get the answers right. Wonder Vag gets away and Bloody Mary is left drunk and vomiting. The lesson for young people is about the dangers of mixing drinking and drugs with irresponsible and risky behavior, including sexual behavior.
Use your sex toys in a responsible manner. Don't share unless you clean in between uses, especially if you're switching from anus to vaginal. If using a dildo or vibrator, cover it with a condom when using anally and then discard the condom to use vaginally. But above all enjoy your vibrators! One fine example of a fun vibrator is this purple super jelly vibrator. Like all jelly vibrators it's soft and pliant. Jelly vibes are known for being high quality and soft to the touch. You'll be in orgasm heaven when you use this solid jelly vibrator. It's realistically shaped and it feels like a real penis from the well-formed head down to the massive and squeezable balls. Ramp up the vibrations until you're beside yourself with pleasure. This vibe is also waterproof so take it in the bath with you. And remember to clean up thoroughly after use. Sex toy cleaner will do the trick. Above all, enjoy your sex play.

A local man is being praised tonight for returning more than a thousand dollars he found in the parking lot of a credit union.
Tony Michalak was servicing an ATM at Wildfire Credit Union on Bay Road in Saginaw when he stumbled upon an envelope full of cash.
"I took it back into the credit union and took it up to the teller and said 'I just found this out in the parking lot'. They ripped it open, it was all 20s and it was about $2,000," said Michalak.
The teller thanked Michalak just as the man who lost the money came in to the credit union hoping someone had found it.
Wildfire Credit Union is not releasing the name of the man who lost the money but they do say he was very happy it had been recovered.
Michalak says he just did what felt right, something he learned as a child.
"I guess it's just the way my parents raised me. They just taught me to do what was right, so I guess I got it from my parents," he said.

Some Smell Solutions continued...
• Baking soda. Of course you can stick a box in your fridge and freezer to soak up nasty smells. But this standby deodorizer -- which chemically neutralizes odors, instead of covering them up -- can also be put to work in litter boxes, garbage cans, kitchen and bathroom drains, smelly sneakers, musty cars, and carpets to absorb smells before you vacuum.
• White distilled vinegar. The smell may be strong the first few moments you apply it, but it quickly dissipates. The uses for this all-natural product range from cleaning bathrooms and kitchens to washing windows and hardwood floors. Just dilute it and use as you would a typical household cleanser. You can also put a bowl on your counter to eliminate smells, such as when you've burned something in the kitchen.
• Citrus. When there's something stinky in your sink, cut up a lemon or orange -- or simply toss the rinds down the drain -- and turn on the garbage disposal. For odors elsewhere, slice up a few lemons and place them in a bowl in the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room. The citrus smell will help freshen the room and cover unpleasant odors.
• Coffee ground. Put a bowl of dried coffee grounds in your refrigerator or freezer or set them on your kitchen sink to absorb distasteful smells. Make a sachet with coffee grounds in some nylons or cheesecloth and hang it in your closet or other musty places.
• Scent-free cleaners. Although a "fragrance-free" label doesn't always mean there aren't any chemical scents in a household cleaner, they likely won't have a noticeable fragrance. However, if you are actually allergic to fragrance, you may still have a reaction to those that contain fragrance.
• Air filters. Air cleaners and filters may be helpful in eliminating some odors, but research is mixed about whether these filters can help with odors, as well as relieve symptoms of asthma and allergies. There are many different types on the market, including mechanical (fan-driven HEPA) and electronic (ion-type cleaners). Avoid "ozone generators." Although all air cleaners (and other electronic equipment) produce small amounts of ozone, you can confirm with the manufacturer that an air cleaning system is within the acceptable level of ozone byproduct.
• Fresh air. Sometimes the best way to eliminate smells is just by opening a window. As long as you don't suffer from seasonal allergies, open your windows and let the air recirculate.
You can also cut down on your family's exposure to fragrances by looking for personal care products such as shampoos, lotions, and body washes that are fragrance-free, or that don't contain chemicals like phthalates. The Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database is a searchable guide that takes a look at more than 7,600 ingredients. You can use it to help you find out what's in your personal care products.

G'Day All.
i am planning on attending all 3 Oakland games in Toronto May 9-11. i've never managed to see the A's play live before and as i now live a half hour from T-Dot i have made it my mission not to miss this series. If there are any other A's fans out there in the Toronto area, i invite you to join myself and my friends for some baseball fun.
On another note, i work as a graphic designer for a sign manufacturer www.mcguiresigns.com and i am currently looking for a hi-res photo to use for a backdrop to make posters of a local little league baseball team. What i need it a shot taken from the pitcher's mound looking in towards the plate. We want to print this out on vinyl and put it on the wall so the kids can have their photo taken in uniform in front of the backdrop so posters can be made for them.
i have searched extensively online and as of yet i have found nothing suitable so i thought i'd see if any of you wonderful people could help.
Cheers from Canada and i hope to see some AN action at the Dome in May. Go A's!

Wineries interested in being Featured at the 2014 event: Please read through the below materials and submit the interest form and bottle sample no later than December 6.
"The event is not only the premier wine event in the country - and incredibly, amazingly well-run - but it truly reflects the spirit among the wine community."
-Andy Peay, Peay Vineyards
"The weekend was an awesome combination of wonderful camaraderie, intellectual interest and unabashed hedonistic debauchery (all good, right). In the end, it's not about the liquid in the glass, but about the feelings it helps elicit and the friends you share it with."
-Dan Goldfield, Dutton-Goldfield
If you would like to be added to our winery database and receive IPNC related winery announcements and mailings, please visit our Contact page and fill out the online form.
Each year in the fall (September - early December), the IPNC accepts wine submissions from Pinot noir producers who are interested in being Featured at the next July event. If you have never participated in the IPNC, you must submit a wine sample and 2014 interest form for consideration. Wineries that have been featured in the past are encouraged to submit an interest form, but not required to submit a wine sample. No wineries that were featured at the recent 2013 event will be selected, so please do not send submission materials.
The IPNC celebrates Pinot noir from all the major growing regions of the world. Through our selection process, the IPNC hopes to introduce guests to the outstanding quality and diversity of Pinot noir now being produced around the world. The Celebration is designed to give maximum opportunity for casual interaction between the featured winemakers and attending guests. Due to the confines of the venue and our commitment to maintaining the event's informality, we are limited in the number of wineries we can feature annually. Approximately seventy Pinot noir producers are featured each year. The IPNC's goal is to select a slate of wineries by focusing on quality, both of the individual wines presented and the event as a whole, as the principal criterion. Quality will also be the dominant factor in the determination of the number and distribution of participating wineries. Secondarily, the theme and focus of the program will influence selection, number, and distribution of wineries. Several other factors are also taken into account, such as region, diversity, participation history, and size.
A wine selection panel consisting of winemakers, restaurateurs, and retailers appointed by the Board of Directors will be meeting in mid-December 2013 to blind taste through samples and formulate a list of proposed featured wineries for the 2014 IPNC. This process takes several weeks. After the Board reviews the list in January, the selected wineries will receive an invitation to participate by the middle of February.
Participation as a Featured Winery requires a registration fee of $1500, a contribution of four to six cases of wine, and the participation of two winery representatives throughout the IPNC weekend. Other participation details will follow the selection process.
Submission Details & Requirements
If you would like your winery to be considered for inclusion in the 2014 IPNC, please fill out the form below (pdf) and send it along with two bottles of the same wine to:
2014 Domestic Winery Interest Form
410 NE Third St., Suite 5
McMinnville, OR 97128
Please note, these instructions refer to the 2014 featured winery selection. All samples must arrive by December 6, 2013. There can be no exceptions to the December deadline, as the tasting panel will meet soon after that date. Samples must be from the 2011 or 2012 vintage. Please limit your submission to ONE selection, as only one wine per winery will be reviewed. Samples must be finished and bottled (Barrel samples will not be accepted. Unlabeled bottles are OK). A winery must produce at least 500 cases of Pinot Noir annually (as of the current calendar year) and should have produced at least three commercially available vintages of Pinot Noir.
Thank you for your interest in participating in the IPNC
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to call the office at (800) 775-4762 or email email@example.com.

I haven't made a post in almost 3 months and I'm going to start making more now since my football season more. I'm going to start with a Off-Season Mock.
Player Movements
Cuts: Vince Young, Ronnie Brown, Juqua Parker, Steve Smith, Trevor Laws, Clay Harbor, Winston Justice.
- These guys deserve to get cut they did not contribute at all. Trevor Laws contributed but not as much as Derek Landri who came in at Mid Season and we can only keep one so i picked Derek.
Re-Signed: Evan Mathis, Antonio Dixon, Derek Landri, King Dunlap, Akeem Jordan.
- They deserve to get resigned they have done everything they were told to do. Antonio Dixon didn't play this season but the year before he did a really good job he stopped the run alot.
Signed: D'Qwell Jackson, Dashon Goldson
- Both of these free agents are under the radar guys but they are really good. D'Qwell Jackson can tackle he had the 2nd most tackle this season. Dashon Goldson is the most underrated free agent this year in my opinion he almost had 2 interception in the NFC Championship Game but he ran into his teammates and knocked one of them out by accident.
Desean Jackson, 4th round pick to 49ers for 1st round pick (30th), 2nd round pick (62nd)
Jamal Jackson to Denver for a 4th round pick
Asante Samuel to Minnesota for a 3rd round pick
Coaching Change:
I read reports earlier that he might become the new defensive coordinator. I will like this decision because when he was the DB Coach for Miami Dolphins those DB's were monsters. We would put Juan Castillo as a Assistant job or something like that.
1st Round, 15th Overall pick: Michael Floyd WR, Notre Dame (6'3, 224, 4.54 40 Yard Time) - Michael Floyd had a terrific season with 1147 yards and 9 TD Catches. With Desean probably gone i would go after a younger and more talented Wide Receiver. This is the type of receiver we needed for years a big and strong guy that will go up and catch it in the End Zone and he has pretty good speed for his size.
via a.espncdn.com
1st Round Pick (30th overall, from San Fransisco) Dont'a Hightower LB Alabama (6'4, 250, 4.68 40 Yard Time): Dont'a Hightower is the second best linebacker in this draft but people think otherwise. He is a physical also he can tackle just what we need. He is a former 1st team SEC and 1st team All-American and will fit in a 4-3 perfectly.
2nd Round, 46th Overall Pick: Stephon Gilmore CB S.Carolina(6'1, 193, 4.48 40 Yard Time):
He is versatile he can rush the passer, he is also effective in the zone and man. He has good strength for his size he can jam the receiver in press and good tackler. He can also read the offense and great awareness. With Asante mostly gone we will probably be thin in the CB position so it will be a good pick up and he can learn from Nnamdi.
2nd Round Pick( 51st, from Cardinals) Vinny Curry DE Marshall(6'4, 265, 4.74 40 Yard Time):
Recognizes blocking schemes. Very productive,applies consistent pressure on QB. He closes quickly when he gets a chance at the QB. He has a good motor also he doesn't quit on plays. We need a DE because jason Babin and Trent cole are getting up their in age so we need to bring in some young blood.
2nd Round Pick(62nd, from San Fransisco) Joe Adams WR/KR Arkansas(5'11, 190, 4.38 40 Yard Time):
This guy is super fast not Desean fast but pretty close to it. He return punts and kicks really good. He also has good hands he rarely drops passes and really good in change of direction which helps him escape defenders.
3rd Round Pick(67th, from Minnesota) Jared Crick DT/DE Nebraska(6'6, 285, 4.82 40 Yard Time):
Great interior pass rusher and very versatile can play either a 3-4 or 4-3 defense. A solid run defender and has a blue-collar work ethic. He reminds me of Derek Landri. He also is quick of the ball and great upper body strength.
via isportsweb.com
3rd Round, 77th Overall Pick: Kirk Cousins QB Michigan State(6'3, 205, 4.80 40 Yard Time):
He's poise in the pocket and good awareness in the pocket. He has good accuaracy and zip on the ball. He gets rid of the ball real fast. Also is athletic and good mobility.
via www4.pictures.gi.zimbio.com
4th Round Pick(100th from Tampa Bay) Keenan Robinson LB Texas( 6'3,240, 4.68 40 Yard Time):
Good sideline to sideline speed. Really good in coverage and wraps up tackles very well. Could cover RB's and a good blitzer. Could really hit a guy, but he can't shed blocks that well but he can learn that very easily.
4th Round, 115th Overall Pick: Mitchell Shwartz OL Cal University(6'6, 318, 5.35 40 Yard Time):
He moves his feet good, Intelligent and has alot of power and strength. If we do sign back Evan Mathis which i think we will, Shwartz will be a pretty young good back up.
via rantsports.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com
4th Round Pick(121st, from Denver)Markus Zusevics OL Iowa University( 6'5, 300,5.08 40 Yard Time):
He is a good competitor and finishes his blocks. He has good lateral speed and would be great in Howard Mudds blocking scheme. Quick of the snap and will be good back up behind Todd Herremans and can probably take his spot in the future.
5th Round Pick, 143rd Overall Pick: Chris Rainey RB Florida(5'9, 174, 4.24 40 Yard Time):
He can be our 3rd string RB which has alot of speed. He is good on Special Teams also, he had 6 punt blocks in his college career and a very dangerous return man. We need a speedster in the backfield, Lesean McCoy and Dion Lewis have speed but not as much speed as Chris Rainey.
6th Round Pick, 175th Overall Pick: Blake Gideon FS Texas(6'1, 205, 4.64 40 Yard Time):
He has decent speed for a Safety, He plays with instinct and can lay down a big hit once in awhile.
6th Round Pick(186st, from Denver) Josh Ogelsby OT Wisconsin(6'7, 330, 5.42 40 Yard Time):
He's a natural physical Lineman. He has the size, length and natural power to work his legs through contacts.
6th Round Pick(190th, from New England) Brandon Barden TE Vanderbilt(6'5, 256, 4.68 40 Yard Time):
Brandon Bardon will be a good back up to Brent Celek. He has good route running and decent blocking.He will be a steal if we get him in this round.

This week, Gallerist had all kinds of fun. Beginning at the piers for the Armory, we continued on to the Independent in Chelsea and then the Dependent Art Fair at the Comfort Inn on Ludlow Street, where hordes of people crammed into tiny hotel rooms to catch sight of all the ways emerging galleries made use of them, from wall to wall installations to mock protests. We stopped along the way to see Rob Pruitt signing books and toilet paper, naked, and watched Kara Walker and Clifford Owens engage in an unusual performance. We capped our evenings with nights on the town from openings to art fair after-parties. Here are some pictures from our favorite art outings of the week. Unless otherwise noted, all images are courtesy of the writers and editors at Gallerist. —R.J.

AZ DUI Laws, Felony DUI Penalties
"The cost of a felony DUI conviction, and it's consequences in Arizona is far greater than the price of hiring a good Arizona DUI defense lawyer"
If you were charged and/or arrested for felony DUI charges in Maricopa County, AZ you should contact an Arizona DUI defense attorney as soon as possible. A felony DUI conviction in Arizona will expose you to severe penalties. You will need a strong Arizona DUI defense attorney to defend your Felony DUI charges if you wish to challenge your DUI charges.
Felony DUI Charges - Arizona Laws:
There are three aggravating factors that will cause an Arizona Misdemeanor DUI to escalate to a Felony DUI charge. "Felony DUI" charges are also called "Aggravated DUI" charges:
1) A.R.S. §28-1383(A) (1): (Paraphrased) DUI charge while driving on a suspended, restricted or revoked driver's license in Maricopa County- Class 3 Felony
2) A.R.S. §28-1383(A) (2): (Paraphrased) Third DUI charge within 7 years and you have two prior DUI convictions that occurred during the last 7 years. - Class 3 felony.
3) A.R.S. §28-1383(A) (3): (Paraphrased) you were charged with DUI DWI and a child under 15 years of age was a passenger in the vehicle you were driving - Class 6 Felony
DUI Penalties - Arizona Felony DUI Sentencing Guidelines
Felony DUI charges and convictions in Arizona are serious. Felony DUI convictions are subject to mandatory DUI sentencing guidelines. Mandatory DUI penalties under Arizona Law include the following:
• Jail Sentences ranging from 1 day to 1 year;
• Prison Sentences ranging from 4 months to 2 ½ years;
• Revocation of your drivers license for 3 years;
• Ignition Interlock Device;
• Fines of Up to $150,000 plus 80% surcharge;
• $1500 prison assessment;
• $250 abatement fees;
• Probation fees;
• Costs for Drug or Alcohol Treatment Screening;
• Costs for Drug or Alcohol Counseling or Treatment Program;
• Supervised probation;
• Felony Criminal Record
Sentencing for a Felony DUI conviction in Arizona may be have "aggravated" or "mitigated". Aggravated factors are those that support the prosecution and warrant more serious DUI penalties. Mitigating factors are those circumstances that favor your defense and may help reduce the harsh penalties.
Arizona DUI Lawyer - Felony DUI Defense Lawyers in Arizona
Without compelling arguments presented or motions filed by your DUI Defense Lawyer, the judge or prosecution will not offer you a mitigated (less harsh) sentence. An experienced Arizona DUI Attorney will know what evidence can be used to argue for mitigated sentencing and reduced sentencing on your behalf for a felony DUI conviction.
Any Arizona Felony DUI charge can be challenged, regardless of the classification. Proven AZ DUI lawyers are often able to get evidence dismissed; charges reduced, or ultimately get the felony DUI charges completely dismissed. But rarely if ever does this happen without qualified legal representation and defense from a proven private practice AZ DUI Attorney or Criminal Defense Lawyer in Maricopa County. Early retention of a good Arizona DUI lawyer or criminal defense attorney is the key to a successful defense.

Graham Spooner, investment research analyst at The Share Centre, picks Melrose as share of the week.
We have been fans of Melrose for a long time, it has many years of experience and success in the engineering field and its arrival in the FTSE 100 once again highlighted the attractions of the company. The share price has recovered from its fall in November and its recent results have helped to underpin this return in confidence. Q1 was described as encouraging by management and we recommend investors buy for the chance of further growth and cash returns.
Its aim of 'buy, improve, sell' has proved attractive for investors and can lead to them receiving special dividends. Management has an excellent track record in improving businesses it has acquired however investors will need to be patient as these improvements take time.
Melrose's most recent acquisition was German water and gas meter making group Elster. The focus for 2013 is on implementing change in order to improve margins at this business and investors will be pleased to hear the plan is ahead of schedule and margins have already improved

It's one of the saddest and most difficult subjects to tackle...
But September might be one of the best times to confront the issue of suicide.
The Governor has proclaimed September as Suicide Prevention month.
According to the Department of Health, 107 North Dakotans died by suicide last year.
Many survivors of suicide will gather together this weekend to remember those who have been lost during an "out of the darkness" walk in Bismarck.
State health department workers says suicide can be prevented-- and people are only ACTIVELY SUICIDAL for around four hours during an attempt.
If you have concerns about a loved one, you can watch for warning signs, talk to a mental health provider, or simply ask, "are you suicidal".
"I think the reason that is so important to start the conversation is because it really does save a life. Suicide is preventable, in fact most people are really unsure about living or dying, so talking about it can find a reason to stay alive." says Micki Savelkoul, Suicide Prevention Program Director, Department of Health.
Six Out of the Darkness walks are scheduled to raise awareness on suicide prevention--and allow survivors a time to heal.
Minot and Bismarck have one scheduled for this Saturday.
If you or someone you know is struggling with suicide-- help is available by calling 1-800-273-TALK.

I have lived in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing. I have been to most of Chinese cities including Taipei, Taiwan with lots of business lunches and dinners over years and I would say that this is the best Chinese restaurant in London, rivalling some of best restaurants in major cities in China.
The quality and freshness of food and the authentic taste are delivered here in London very well right from Hunan province which is one of the Eight Schools of Chinese cuisines, in a pleasant Chinese atmosphere. You can tell how authentic and good the food is by the number of locals in the restaurant. In addition to all this, one thing you can't get in China very often is included; good service with smiles!
On food and drink and overall, I would give five stars if they improved variety of drinks.

Part six of my Dark Cloud Let's Play, split in half due to file size issues... it's still good though!
From anime to manga, from b-movies to cheap martial arts flicks, from video games to board games, if its geeky, nerdy, or generally otaku-ish, chances are it'll end up here on the show for a review!

The top 7 music-related things on the Internet that have nothing to do with Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin
Hey, did you hear that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, are splitting up? Of course you did. Did you actually read through an entire news item about it before remembering that Gwyneth Paltrow is the most insufferable actress you can think of, and that's really saying something because there are a lot of them? Then there's the fact that Coldplay is, without exaggeration, one of the most boring bands that currently exists in the vast, vast landscape of offensively boring, mall-friendly, easily digested pop-rock music. It's the musical equivalent of an unsalted rice cake.
The idea that any music fan is spending any amount of time today reading clickbait about this topic hurts us. It hurts our hearts. With that in mind: Here are seven good music-related things to do on the Internet today, none of which are trying desperately to sound like a watered-down version of Radiohead and failing.
1. Read our feature on Sharon Jones kicking cancer's ass and coming back stronger and sassier than ever before -- with a brand-new album and an indignant stance on American healthcare.
2. Listen to a track off Mikal Cronin's new record, which drops next Tuesday.
3. Watch Jon Stewart talk about his punk days in Jersey with the Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes.
4. Read our interview with Stephen Malkmus, in which he discusses the Jicks' new album, name-checks Ty Segall and tUnE-yArDs, and advises teens to stop sexting and start a band.
5. Read the East Bay Express' profile of Meklit Hadero, cover star of our On the Rise issue last week.
6. Check out LA-based funksters Vulfpeck's highly creative use of Spotify to simultaneously fund a bunch of free shows and call out Spotify for not supporting musicians more, with a full album of silent songs that clock in at just over 30 seconds each, the length of time after which Spotify pays bands whopping royalties. Just kidding about the whopping part.
7. Pay your respects: Today, March 26, is both Steven Tyler's and Diana Ross' birthday. Tyler, 66, is celebrating by advocating for copyright protections in our nation's capital. Ross, 70, appears to be doing a lot of casino shows throughout the Midwest, and also still looks goddamn fabulous in a sparkly gown. It's also the 17th anniversary of the Heaven's Gate mass suicide.
Sorry. Um. Celebrate/mourn that one however you will. We'll be over here with Alicia Silverstone.
The song they dropped on TI's album was Swagga like us.
In my humble opinion, Diddy out did the swagga
of the original Swagga Like Us song. t Believe the Truth, Coldplay X&Y, White Stripes Get Behind Me Satan, Editors The Back Room, Kanye West Late Registration, Pussycat Dolls
PCD, Sigor Ros Takk.
