Impact Napa 2012: Andy Beckstoffer, Beckstoffer VineyardsAugust 27, 2012
Andy Beckstoffer was trained as an engineer, but he's been training North Coast vines to produce world-class wines for four decades. He acquired what is now Beckstoffer Vineyards in 1973.
Mr. Beckstoffer will be a panelist at the Impact Napa 2012 conference the morning of Aug. 30. He spoke with the Business Journal about how the 2012 crop has been faring, whether or not the North Coast has a shortage of winegrapes and the impact of any crimp in supply on grape and wine prices.

Vineyard pond project taps law to 'dedicate' water to fishNovember 28, 2011
HOPLAND — Conversions of former pear orchards in Mendocino County to grapevines is nothing new and construction of sizable off-stream ponds to collect winter stream runoff for spring vine frost protection is gaining momentum with new state and local rules, but one major North Coast winegrape grower's project to do both adds a new element, dedicating a majority of historical water rights back to the stream.

He recruited veteran jazz musicians Bill Mays, Gerry Mulligan, Shelly Manne, Mundell Lowe, and George Duvivier. Also enlisted for vocal duets were Mel Tormé and Sarah Vaughan.

Patent office sees five-fold increase in filings before March 15
Send this to a friend
- Don Seiffert
- BioFlash Editor- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Numbers released from the U.S. Patent and Trademark office last week showed a five-fold increase in the amount of applications for new patents received in the week before new first-inventor-to-file rules went into effect, and local law firms reported spikes of as much as 10 times in their own filings that week.
And while two law firms contacted by Mass High Tech said that the types of applications spanned the range from biotech to engineering, one firm said the bulk of companies filing patents under the old rules in the Boston area were drug and biotech companies.
On Thursday, the USPTO said that there were nearly five times the average volume of patent applications in the five days leading up to March 16, the first day most of the new rules took effect under the America Invents Act, signed into law in 2011. On March 15 alone - the day the law changed from favoring the first person who can prove he or she invented a product to the first inventor who submits a patent application - the office said it received nearly half of the 34,112 patent applications submitted that week, according an article last Thursday in Law360.
The spike was widely anticipated, as many lawyers took advantage of the first major rule change in nearly 20 years to hold seminars for clients urging them to take advantage of the old rules, saying that the new rules make it easier to challenge a patent both through a new post-grant review process as well as by allowing global, rather than only U.S., publications to be used to invalidate a patent.
But no one knew the extent to which filings would go up. Wolf Greenfield, which touts itself as New England's largest IP-only law firm, processed 442 applications from March 1-15, 2013, about four times the number during the same time in 2012. More than a quarter of those filings (130) were on March 15.

6 ideas for the 'Buffalo Billion'
By Daniel Sabbatino
Staff Writer
The Western New York Regional Economic Development Council presented with Gov. Andrew Cuomo with investment options to spur the economy in Western New York. Also, Albany Molecular Research Inc., is planning to expand to a Buffalo medical campus with the help of $50 million from the state.

December 10, 2012
Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week was presented with six ideas to improve the economy of Western New York after pledging this fall to commit $1 billion for the cause. While visiting business leaders in the Buffalo region last week, he announced the state will invest $50 million in a new drug research center.
The Western New York Regional Economic Development Council laid out a plan to create jobs and attract private investing in the area over the course of the next several years, according to information from Cuomo's office.
"The strategies presented today by the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council make smart decisions with the Buffalo Billion to drive billions more in public and private sector investment to Western New York," Cuomo said. "New York state is helping Buffalo to realize immediate economic growth that puts our neighbors back to work now while setting the foundation for sustainable economic opportunity for future generations."
The regional development council's co-chairs Satish Tripathi and Howard Zemsky, along with Bruce Katz, the vice president of the Brookings Institution, are tasked with an assessment of the region's "market position" and were asked to identify "advantages" and "assets" in order to maximize investment potential, according to information from the governor's office.

The University of Buffalo's Regional Institute, the Buffalo Niagara Enterprise and Empire State Development, will assist in the analysis.
Sen. Patrick Gallivan, R-Elma, chairman of the Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business Committee, said the investment plan is good news in light of the state's financial difficulties in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
"The governor's reaffirmed commitment to Western New York is welcome news amidst Sandy's yet-to-be-determined fiscal impact on the state budget. Western New York's economy is a sleeping giant and I believe our regional economic development council has put forth a series of initiatives that recognize and build upon our local strengths; new market biotechnology applications, advanced manufacturing and continued investments in our regional tourism assets are the road map to a prosperous future."
Cuomo was presented with six "signature investable initiatives," that he must now consider, including; the Buffalo Center for Manufacturing Innovation, a state-of-the-art facility to drive manufacturing growth; the Buffalo Science Productivity and Research Catalyzer, dealing with healthcare research; the Buffalo Niagara Tourism Program; the Buffalo Skills Partnership, related to workforce training; the Buffalo Breakthrough Business Challenge, a competitive system to award resources; and the Better Buffalo Fund, a competitive fund directed at supporting economic and community development projects.
In addition to the accepting the council's plans, Cuomo announced a $50 million investment and partnership with Albany Molecular Research Inc., and as a result AMRI will expand to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus to launch a drug research center, according to information from the governor's office. AMRI will use $35 million toward new equipment and $15 million toward improving existing lab space. The agreement is slated to leverage $200 million in additional investments and create 250 jobs.
According to Cuomo's office, by using the money to invest in "core infrastructure" and equipment rather than give the money directly to the private company, the state can create "a state owned foundation for private sector job growth." To complement similar investments made in the Capital District, Buffalo is being developed into a center for biomedical research.
Thomas D'Ambra, chairman, CEO and president of AMRI, said the partnership is likely to be beneficial to all parties involved.
"[We] are pleased to be working with the state of New York to locate a new state-of-the-art pharmaceutical research, development and testing operation in Buffalo," he said. "We salute Gov. Andrew Cuomo's vision and leadership in building a new New York as a global hub for pioneering innovation and economic opportunity in the leading scientific fields in the 21st century."

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- OfficeMax® Incorporated (NYSE:OMX), a leader in office and facility supplies, technology and services, today announced that it will receive approximately $129 million in cash proceeds on February 12, 2013 related to its October 2004 investment in Boise Cascade Holdings, L.L.C. ("BCH"). Since 2004, OfficeMax has held two classes of securities in BCH, non-voting equity securities ("Series A Units") and voting equity securities ("Series B Units").
BCH will redeem all of the Series A Units held by OfficeMax for $112 million, equal to the original investment amount of $66 million plus $46 million of total accrued dividends. As previously disclosed, OfficeMax had been recording income earned from the 8% annual dividend yield on the Series A Units as a reduction of operating, selling and general and administrative expenses in its Corporate & Other segment. This dividend income will cease upon completion of the redemption of the Series A Units on February 12, 2013.
OfficeMax also continues to hold a 20.4% ownership interest in the Series B Units of BCH, which do not accrue any dividend. OfficeMax has accounted for the Series B Units under the cost method as a $109 million investment on its consolidated balance sheet since October 2004. BCH has declared a distribution of approximately $85 million payable on February 12, 2013 to the holders of its Series B Units, of which OfficeMax's share of proceeds is approximately $17 million. This distribution on the Series B Units will be recognized as income by OfficeMax and will not reduce the $109 million investment amount.
Ravi Saligram, President and Chief Executive Officer of OfficeMax said, "We're very pleased to have monetized a portion of this non-core Boise asset. Together with the removal of the Lehman-backed timber notes and reducing the unfunded pension liability, we have made great strides in optimizing our balance sheet over the past several months. We are considering the best way to utilize these proceeds to maximize shareholder value."
Following the redemption of the Series A Units and the distribution on the Series B Units, BCH will continue to hold approximately $28 million of cash and own 29,700,000 common shares of Boise Cascade Company (NYSE: BCC), which completed its initial public stock offering today.
Bruce Besanko, EVP, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of OfficeMax said, "Following the receipt of these proceeds, we'll retain our BCH Series B Units which represent an indirect ownership interest of approximately 6 million shares or approximately 14% of the common equity of Boise Cascade Company."
OfficeMax has carried a $180 million deferred book gain on its consolidated balance sheet related to its investment in BCH in October 2004. The redemption of the Series A Units is expected to trigger recognition of a pre-tax operating gain of approximately $68 million representing the portion of the deferred gain attributable to the Series A Units. The remaining $112 million of deferred gain attributable to the Series B Units will remain on OfficeMax's consolidated balance sheet until such time as the Series B Units are sold or redeemed. OfficeMax does not expect it will be required to pay any cash taxes as a result of the redemption of the Series A Units and the distribution on the Series B Units.

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API.

The move in recent years to cloud computing services and architectures has added significant pace to the application development and deployment environment. When enterprise IT can spin up large computing instances in just minutes, developers can also design and deploy in small time frames that were unimaginable a few years ago. The consequent move toward lean, agile, and fast development leads to the need for the development and operations sides to work very closely together. Thus, DevOps become...

Mercedes moans about Austria GP accommodation
Tension between arch F1 rivals Mercedes and Red Bull is ramping up ahead of the forthcoming Austrian grand prix. Recently, Mercedes team chairman Niki Lauda criticised Red Bull for axing the 'Niki Lauda Kurve' at the refurbished Red Bull-Ring and naming it after a sponsor instead. And now, a spat has broken out over Mercedes' accommodation for the forthcoming Austrian grand prix, where the race promoter is Red Bull mogul Dietrich Mateschitz. A rumour circulated in the Montreal paddock on Saturday that Mercedes had cancelled its bookings near the Red Bull-Ring because it discovered that the new owner of the hotel was none other than Mateschitz. But Mercedes' Toto Wolff is quoted by Kleine...

Conservative cardinal dropped from key Vatican post
Cardinal Burke, hero to conservative Catholics, removed from Congregation of Bishops

- December 17, 2013
Pope Francis' plan to reform the Roman Curia is primarily a two-pronged approach: changing the bureaucratic structures and changing the members of Vatican agencies.
Today we saw yet another sign that the new pope wants people in synch with his more pastoral vision of the church, and in particular with his views on what makes a good bishop.
U.S. Cardinal Raymond Burke has been dropped from the Congregation for Bishops, an office that wields tremendous influence in shaping the world's hierarchy. Burke has been a kind of folk hero to conservative Catholics, in particular for his statements criticizing Catholic politicians who support legal abortion. Moreover, he has said that bishops who refuse to withhold Communion from such politicians are weakening the faith.
It was significant that the new American named today to the Congregation for Bishops, Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, has publicly defended his decision not to deny Communion in such situations.
The change means that Cardinal Burke will no longer be among the approximately 30 members of the congregation who oversee the vetting process for bishops' nominations.
Just last week, Cardinal Burke appeared to take issue with Pope Francis' low-key approach on some topics. The pope said earlier this year that the church cannot keep hammering only a few issues, including abortion and gay marriage. Asked about this by the Catholic network EWTN, Burke expressed some perplexity at the pope's comments and said the church "can never talk enough" about abortion and marriage; he said abortion today is "literally a massacre of the unborn."
It will be interesting to see if Cardinal Burke hangs onto his job as head of the Apostolic Signature, the Vatican's highest tribunal. The cardinal frequently gives interviews, and his Vatican position has given his statements much more resonance in the media.
Pope Francis retired others out of the Congregation for Bishops, too, mainly for reasons of age. Dropping Cardinal Burke from the congregation was more unusual because he is a relatively young 65.

Kenya mall attack: Military names four suspects after CCTV of Westgate siege is broadcast
Major Emmanuel Chirchir, spokesman for the Kenya Defence Forces has identified four men as gunmen in the attacks

Saturday 05 October 2013
Four men have been named as suspects in the Kenya Westgate mall terrorist attack.
The identities of the men were released when a private television station in Nairobi obtained and broadcast CCTV footage from inside the Nairobi mall.
Footage from the Westgate mall aired on Kenyan television channels apparently showed at least four alleged attackers with guns walking around the mall's supermarket and a storage room.
Major Emmanuel Chirchir, spokesman for the Kenya Defence Forces, told Reuters afterwards: "I confirm these were the terrorists, they all died in the raid."
Major Chirchir named the four suspects as Abu Baara al-Sudani, Omar Nabhan, Khattab al-Kene and Umayr.
The footage shows four men walking calmly through a storeroom inside the complex, holding machine guns. One of the men's trouser legs appears to be stained with blood, although he is not limping. It is unclear if the blood is from an injury or from a victim.
In the worst terror attack on Kenyan soil since the 1998 US embassy bombings that killed more than 200, attackers armed with machine guns and grenades stormed the upscale shopping centre, shooting at everyone in sight before taking civilians hostage. At least 69 people, including six security officers, were killed.
Al-Shabaab, al-Qa'ida's affiliate in neighboring Somalia, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was revenge for Kenya's military intervention in Somalia in 2011 that was aimed at flushing out the extremists.

Baltimore intermodal project is crucial, leaders say
Send this to a friend
- Jack Lambert
- Digital Producer- Baltimore Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Gov. Martin O'Malley and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake called Baltimore's proposed intermodal project critical for the future of state transportation at Wednesday's christening of the Port of Baltimore's four new 40-foot cranes.
The $40 million cranes are part of a three-year, $105 million effort to prepare Seagirt Marine Terminal for the expansion of the Panama Canal in May 2015. The expansion will allow 13,000 twenty-equivalent-unit (TEU) ships to arrive in Baltimore, tripling the size of the ships currently able to dock at the port.
Ports America Chesapeake, which in 2010 signed a 50-year public-private partnership agreement to operate Seagirt, estimates the economic impact of the new ships at $16 million per year in tax income. But that depends on the city and state making sure CSX Transportation Inc. (NYSE: CSX) opens its new intermodal facility in Mount Clare by the spring 2015, Rawlings Blake said.
"These giant cranes are the physical representation of the future of the Port of Baltimore," Rawlings-Blake told the assembled crowd.
Jacksonville, Fla.-based CSX has proposed a $90 million, 70-acre intermodal facility in Southwest Baltimore to allow for double stacking of cargo containers on rail transportation. CSX is currently seeking approval from city and state officials for initial plans.
Trains leaving Baltimore cannot currently stack containers on top of each other due to height restrictions of the Howard Street Tunnel.
O'Malley also called for the intermodal facility as he stressed the importance of increased state financial help for Maryland's infrastructure.

A Dose of Nuance: We gave peace a chance
Palestinians hold a flag in the West Bank 370.

"What was the hardest thing about making aliya?" people still ask
me.They expect, I imagine, that I'll say something about our kids going
to the army. Or about living in less than half the space we had when we lived in
the States. Or, if they knew, they might imagine that I'd mention having one car
for four drivers, rather than two cars for two drivers.For me, though,
it's not that. What's been hardest has been watching the worldview on which I
was raised crash and break like a ship washed violently against a forbidding
shore. I was raised in one of those (then-) classic American Jewish suburban
families. Democratic voting, opposed to the Vietnam War, passionate advocates
for civil rights, my parents taught their kids that most people were reasonable
and that all conflicts were solvable. When it came to the Middle East, the
prescription for resolution of the conflict was clear – we would give land, and
we would get peace. The only question was when.We were not the only ones
who believed that, of course. A significant portion of Israeli society believed
the same thing – until the Palestinian Terror War (mistakenly called the second
intifada) – that is. Those four years destroyed the Israeli political Left
because they washed away any illusions Israelis might have had that the
Palestinian leadership was interested in a deal. And, to be fair, why should the
Palestinians be interested in a deal? Their position gets stronger with each
passing year. No longer pariahs, they are now the darlings of the international
community. They have seen the world shift from denying the existence of a
Palestinian people to giving them observer status at the UN. If you were the
leader of the Palestinian Authority, would you make a deal now? Of course not.
With the terms bound to get sweeter in years to come, only a fool would sign
now.Our enemies are not fools. But they are consistent. Hamas's Mahmoud
al- Zahar, in a much-quoted statement, said last year that the Jews have no
place among the nations of the world and are headed for annihilation.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared to Egyptian TV that he would never,
in a thousand years, recognize a Jewish state. Bibi gave the Bar-Ilan speech,
but Abbas refused to return to the table; he still insists on the refugees'
right of return, which he knows would spell death for the idea of a Jewish
state. Egypt's Mohamed Morsi makes no bones about the fact that he would like to
annul the treaty between Israel and Egypt. In videos recently posted by MEMRI
(which were recorded in 2010, before he was worried about being closely
watched), he openly described Jews as descendants of pigs, called Zionists
"bloodsuckers" and said that Jews "must not stand on any Arab or Islamic
land.They must be driven out of our countries."When Bashar Assad
falls, will the Syrian victors be more likely to accept Israel's existence? When
Jordan follows, will the quiet on the Jordanian border persist? ISRAELIS LIVE in
a world of utter cognitive dissonance. On the one hand, our region is becoming
ever more dangerous and our foes ever more honest about their desire to destroy
the Jewish state. And on the other hand, much of the world insists that "land
for peace" simply must work; some American Jewish leaders actually urged Israel,
even in the midst of the Gaza conflict, to return to the negotiating table. It
would be funny were it not so sad and so dangerous.That is why the
upcoming election, sobering though it is, may actually prove important. Israelis
across the spectrum are acknowledging what they used to only whisper: the old
paradigm is dying.Naftali Bennett of the Bayit Yehudi party explicitly
states that "land for peace" is dead and advocates annexing the portion of the
West Bank known as Area C. Yair Shamir of Yisrael Beytenu says that regardless
of Netanyahu's Bar- Ilan speech, the Likud never endorsed a Palestinian state.
Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party's website makes no mention of going back to the
negotiating table.Neither does the Labor Party platform.Even
Meretz recently acknowledged that Oslo is dead.To give up hope for peace
is not to choose war. Egypt's present and Jordan's future indicate how little is
guaranteed by a treaty; the Palestinian present shows that we can have quiet
even in the face of stalemate. What Israelis now want is quiet, and a future.
Nothing more, nothing less. And most importantly, no more illusions.The
demise of the peace addiction is no cause for celebration; it is merely cause
for relief. There is something exhausting about living a life of pretense; with
the death of illusion comes the possibility of shaping a future. After a new
government is formed, a genuine leader could actually lead Israelis into a "what
next" conversation. Deciding what comes next, now that we sadly know that the
idea of "land for peace" is dead, will not be easy. Israel could make wise
decisions or terrible mistakes.But if, as a result of this election, we
begin to have a conversation about a future that we can actually have, the
Jewish state will be much better off.Israel, though, is likely to make
much better choices if it is joined in its hardearned realism by forces outside
the country too. Now that Israelis are getting honest, the question is whether
the international community – and then American Jews – will follow suit. On the
former front, there are occasional causes for optimism. The Washington Post, for
example, recently acknowledged that the international community's rhetoric has
become an obstacle rather than a help. "Mr. Netanyahu's zoning approval is
hardly the 'almost fatal blow' to a twostate solution that UN Secretary General
Ban Ki-moon described... If Security Council members are really interested in
progress toward Palestinian statehood, they will press Mr. Abbas to stop using
settlements as an excuse for intransigence – and cool their own overheated
rhetoric."Amen to that. But what about American Jewish leaders? They
will likely find admitting that "land for peace" is dying no less difficult than
anyone else. Will they listen carefully to what the Israeli electorate, across
the spectrum, is saying? I hope so. Because loving someone means helping them to
fashion a future that is possible, not harboring an exhausted illusion that can
only yield pain and disappointment. The same is true with loving
Israel.In the midst of the cacophony and sobriety of this Israeli
election, a new, mature and infinitely more realistic resignation seems to be
emerging. Those who care about Israel might see it as failure, as moral weakness
or as sad exhaustion. Alternatively, we could see it for what it is – the
enduring Israeli desire to live, to thrive and to work not for a future that
others pretend is still possible, but rather for one that we can actually build
and then bequeath to our children.The writer is senior vice president
