Reducing risks to health: what can we learn from the Global Burden of Disease 2010 Study?

Debates about health priorities are likely to be better informed if there is a reasonable understanding among policy makers of the comparative importance of various diseases and injuries in the population, at different ages, and how this pattern of health loss is changing over time. Indeed, provided such a description of the epidemiological profile of a population is sufficiently comprehensive, and every effort has been made to ensure comparability of measurement across diseases and injuries, the results can provide a meaningful accounting of the relative importance of different conditions in causing premature death and disability, and hence, guide the need for various intervention strategies. This was the basis for undertaking the first Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study in the early 1990s which was commissioned and used by the World Bank to help define intervention packages designed to maximize population health gains for countries at different levels of health development (World B ...

I don't think I've looked that closely at gentoo's files, so I don't know exactly what you mean, but jhalfs employs something that's probably similar. When it extracts the commmands in the book, they end up looking something like this: #!/bin/sh set -e cd $PKGDIR mkdir -v ../gcc-build cd ../gcc-build ../gcc-4.0.2/configure --prefix=/tools \ --with-local-prefix=/tools --disable-nls --enable-shared \ --enable-languages=c make bootstrap make install ln -vs gcc /tools/bin/cc exit The variable PKGDIR is the name of the unpacked directory for that particular package. That variable is set via the unpacking of the tarball before the above scriptlet is run. If you wanted to have finer control over the build process (like isolating the configure, make and install parts) it would take some rethinking. -- JH

Democrats tout broadband support
Convention platform cites support for universal broadband access
PC World teases out the little bit of tech in the Democratic Party's convention platform. It includes a brief mention of support for universal access to broadband.
Both Bush and Kerry have said more on the issue. Bush is betting on streamlining regulations and continued tax-free access to reach universal access by 2007. Kerry goes a little farther, advocating 20 percent tax credits for companies that invest in next generation networks.

Abu Dhabi: An initiative to test three pilot projects, with the aim of developing a commercially viable seawater desalination technology by 2020, was launched in the capital on Thursday.

Masdar launches ambitious plans for renewable energy desalination
Masdar announces plans to test three-pilot programmes over the next three years for commercially viable desalination plant by 2020

- Shaikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, with Dr. Corrado Sommariva, President, International Desalination Association during the Masdar announcement yesterday. Also shown (from left) are Abdullah Saif Al Nuaimi, Director-General, Adwea, Dr. Sultan Ahmad Jaber, CEO of Masdar, Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak, Secretary- General Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi and Adnan Z Ameen, Director-General of Irena.
The initiative, by Abu Dhabi's renewable energy company Masdar, was announced at the first International Water Summit in Abu Dhabi.
As part of a three-year programme, three pilot plants will be developed to test different desalination technologies, said Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Masdar's chief executive officer and UAE Special Envoy for Energy and Climate Change. "With the UAE's growing economy and rising population, it is crucial that we identify a sustainable desalination solution to meet our long-term water needs," Al Jaber said.
"Our objective is to scale up the findings of the three pilots into one commercial plant by 2020. By the end of 2015, we hope to have finalised the testing of the three pilot desalination programmes. By 2016, we will begin our planning and construction for the commercial scale project, with the aim that by 2020, we have a commercial-scale water desalination plant completely powered by renewable technologies," he added.
All three pilot plants will be constructed in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, but in a variety of geographical locations to test differing technologies.
The capacity of each plant will also vary depending on the technology used, said Dr Corrado Sommariva, president of the International Desalination Association that is supporting the Masdar pilot.
"This programme is unique because it not only focuses on desalination research and development … but also hopes to overcome financial barriers [in implementing renewable energies for the process]. It will therefore improve the bankability of such technologies," Dr Sommariva said.
"Any new leading-edge technologies that have emerged in the past five years will be considered for the pilot plants, including electrolysis deionisation and membrane distillation," he explained.
According to Masdar, the Gulf region accounts for nearly 50 per cent of the world's desalinated water. In the UAE, seawater desalination requires about 10 times more energy than surface fresh water production, and its costs are projected to increase by 300 per cent in the future.
Abdullah Saif Al Nuaimi, director general of the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA), said on the sidelines of the conference that Abu Dhabi desalinates about 900 million gallons of water per day using conventional fossil fuel technologies. "The demand for water in Abu Dhabi emirate increases by about 5 to 6 per cent annually," he added.
When asked about the investment costs for the project, Al Jaber said that 50 per cent of the cost of each pilot project will be funded by Masdar, while the rest of the investment will be made by partnering technology providers. "The exact cost…can only be announced once we have identified a group of partners for the [pilots]," Al Jaber said.
Many technology providers have already expressed their interest to partner with Masdar.
"We received more than a 100 letters of interest from international companies that claim to have the required technologies [and are interested in becoming partnering with us for this programme]. Proposals from 48 companies have been short-listed, and both a technical committee, and a parallel commercial committee, have been established to evaluate these proposals," the Masdar executive said.
ADWEA, the Regulation and Supervision Bureau, the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company will coordinate with Masdar to realise the long-term goal of water desalination using renewable technologies.

@NathanG - In my opinion, these distinctions are made for investment purposes. Investors or banks want to look at a balance sheet and see if you're worth investing in.
To that end, I prefer the holistic capital maintenance approach which takes into account physical and financial capital. A company that pays back both physical and financial capital is very attractive indeed. Every dollar in earnings then is pure gravy.
There are not many businesses that operate on this margin, from what I can tell. Most businesses just want to show that at least they're servicing debt on their existing capital requirements.
But when profits are squeezed thin and the economy is tight, being able to show that you are, for all practical purposes, in the black on your capital repayment, makes you an attractive company for investors and even for other potential suitors in the case of a buyout.

Home :: Features :: Fleeing Katrina, a Family Finds Home in Texas:: Page [ 1 2 ]
Beverly Connelly
When Beverly Connelly D03 first stepped into New Orleans Phillips United Methodist Church in early December, she thought flames, rather than flood, had ravaged it.
Soot-like black mold covered the sanctuary walls, pews, hymnals, choir robes, Bibles, even her husbands preaching robes.
"The doors got so wet that they had burstjust split wide open," says Connelly. Waterlogged pews lay upside down or on end, as if thrown like sticks from above.
It was, says Connelly, a "very sad sight."
The Connelly familyBeverly, her husband, Joe, who pastored Phillips and another New Orleans church, and their daughterhad evacuated well ahead of Katrina. Following a morning meeting with Louisiana Bishop William W. Hutchinson on Saturday, Aug. 27, in Baton Rouge, the Connellys returned to their rental home in Kenner, 10 miles from downtown New Orleans and home of the citys international airport. They and a group of church members and friends had decided to caravan to Wylie, Texas, where Beverly has family.
Beverlys sister quickly secured as many hotel rooms as she could find for her brother-in-laws parishioners. With their group safe in Wylie, the Connellys hosted a barbeque on Sunday evening. Katrina seemed very far away.
But on Monday, as the media reported Katrinas trail of devastation and death, "We were all in shock," says Beverly. The following day, a relative of one of their parishioners had a fatal heart attack. "There was a sense of panic," says Beverly. "We had nowhere to send his body. Finally, one of his children living in another state had his body flown there."

Panthers hold on against Titans
The Panthers down the table topping Titans in a two-point thriller.
PT0M0S 620 349- Autoplay OnOff
- Video feedback
- Video settings
Penrith's gutsy 14-12 victory over the table-topping Titans could be overshadowed by accusations that Titans co-captain Greg Bird performed a "squirrel grip" on Penrith's Sika Manu on Monday night.
The incident in the 75th minute wasn't placed on report, with the penalty going to the Titans after Manu retaliated to the tackle from Bird.
Replays showed Bird's hand was around the groin region, but despite a protest from the Panthers - in which co-captain Peter Wallace said "he grabbed him on the nuts", a lack of evidence prevented Bird from being penalised or placed on report.
'He grabbed him on the nuts': Penrith skipper Peter Wallace and Sika Manu argue with the referee after an apparently wayward tackle by Greg Bird.
Despite a late comeback from the Titans, the Panthers held on through a nervous final set of six to notch their fourth victory of the season.
It was a barnstorming Jamal Idris who tormented his former teammates, inspiring his new club to a thrilling two-point victory over the top-of-the-table Titans on Monday night.
Idris, who was granted a release from the Titans to join the Panthers in the preseason, was back to his destructive best at Sportingbet Stadium as the Panthers returned to the top eight with a gutsy victory on home soil.
Bragging rights: Penrith centre Jamal Idris enjoyed a victory against his former club.
Fellow recruit Jamie Soward was just as influential, playing a hand in both of his side's tries and kicking three from three with the boot, including a penalty goal early in the second half that proved the difference.
Trailing by eight with three minutes remaining, Titans five-eighth Aiden Sezer set up a dramatic finish when he cleaned up the spoils that Matt Moylan failed to clear, converting his own try to reduce the deficit to just two points.
While the Panthers allowed the Titans a golden opportunity to snatch the two points with a forward pass in the final minute, they held their nerve in defence to secure the win.
Black magic: Dean Whare goes over for the first try of the night for the Panthers
The Titans came to the foot of the mountains with an opportunity to maintain their one-game lead at the top of the ladder, but the loss leaves them in equal first position with the Bulldogs, Wests Tigers and Sea Eagles.
The win lifts Penrith to eight points with four other teams, just two points behind the competition's pacesetters.
In front of 9555 fans at Sportingbet Stadium, the Panthers were the first to score, with Soward holding it up long enough to put Dean Whare over in the corner after eight minutes.
The second try came in a far more unorthodox fashion, with a Soward grubber fumbled in goal by David Mead, before Paul Carter kicked it away from an oncoming Soward, only to find Matt Moylan.
Soward played a hand in both of his side's first half tries, and looked like he'd send his his team into the break with a 12-0 advantage with two from two with the boot.
However, the Titans hit back on the stroke of half-time after Ryan James crashed over from close range, although replays showed that Kevin Kingston might have held the ball up.
Leading 12-6 to start the second half, it looked like the Panthers five-eighth had again inflicted some damage, only for the video referee to intervene and deem Soward had knocked on when he punched the ball out of the hands of Carter and cleaned up the spoils.
But it wasn't a complete waste, with the video referee awarding a penalty to the Panthers after Idris was taken out by Brad Takairangi trying to contest a Wallace bomb, gifting Soward another two points.
Titans prop Matt White was then placed on report in the 61st minute for a lifting tackle that placed Panthers lock Adam Docker in a dangerous position.
The penalty put the Panthers deep on the attack and despite Tyrone Peachey forcing a repeat set, the Panthers couldn't put their opponents to bed.
Sezer's late try gave the Titans a chance but they couldn't penetrate the Penrith defence.

Kveller's God Month
Full disclosure: Kveller.com is a partner site of our host, MyJewishLearning.
In a recent blog post on the Jewish parenting site Kveller, Joyce Anderson wrote about the process of teaching her oldest son to pray. For Anderson, teaching her child to speak to God, preceded (or facilitated, perhaps) her attempts to talk with him about God. Interestingly, Anderson is not Jewish; she is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her article is one of several non-Jewish perspectives in Kveller's God Month, an ongoing series on the challenges of talking to children about God.
While Anderson shows no ambivalence about encouraging her child to develop a personal relationship with the divine, the other responses in the series present more complicated experiences of parenting and faith. Among all the essays, Jewish or not, hers is the only one that takes for granted that children should believe in God. Taken together, the articles point towards a basic truth: we aren't that good at talking about God.
At first, I found this troubling. The ambivalence about God in the Jewish responses certainly reflects editorial choices or selection bias, but it still squares with my own experience of non-Orthodox Jewish life in America. Reading through the pieces, I found myself wondering, "Do any of us simply believe?"
Anderson's prayer-based solution makes a lot of sense, especially given the deeply personal relationship between individuals and God in Christ-centered theologies. Prayer takes a central role in a few of the Jewish responses, as well, but in a different way. For the Jewish parents that write about prayer, showing a child how to pray also helps him or her relate to God personally, but the contributors' own sense of God remains less defined. For them, the advantage of prayer is that it acknowledges and celebrates a creative force in the universe without limiting how we conceive of that force.Tellingly, of the two Jewish parents who write about sharing their personal religious practices with their children, both include prayers from Eastern traditions, like Buddhism.
Several God Month contributors—including self-identified Jews—reject the idea of God altogether, or at least bracket off questions about God's nature and existence as unknowable and inessential to an ethical life. These writers express ambivalence about the prospect of raising a religious child, though they note the importance of teaching their kids to respect other people's religious traditions. Some of the skeptics are attached in one way or another to Jewish culture and identity, and even want their children to have the option of choosing a more spiritual life.
Now, I'm neither traditionally observant nor deeply spiritual. I do not intend to criticize anyone's personal practice or to bemoan some lost golden age of Jewish observance. I am struck, however, by absence of modern Jewish voices that speak confidently about God, both in the Kveller series and in my own experiences.
Perhaps, though, the issue is not that we are bad at talking about God, but that God is and should be difficult to talk about. Sometimes, especially when children come into play, we may feel need for a simpler or more concrete sense of the divine. But complete certainty (fundamentalism) is a dangerous thing, and what kind of God could be understood through mere human speech, anyway?
The tensions and contradictions expressed in the Kveller series might not reflect deficiencies in our communities, but a healthy struggle between traditional beliefs and universal values. I still hope that the series will include a Jewish writer who approaches the topic of God with more certainty and less ambiguity, but I can also accept and appreciate the articles that are there so far. They represent a real effort to do right by our children when it comes to God talk. I'm not a parent yet, but I hope (God willing) that the questions raised by God Month are ones I will one day have to answer both for myself and my children.

"Graven Images" Onscreen: Narrowing Our View?
You shall have no other gods beside Me. You shall not make for yourself any graven image, nor any manner of likeness, of any thing that is heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (Exodus, Chapter 20, Verses 3-4)
I'm wondering about "graven images." Specifically, I'm wondering if Steven Spielberg and Cecil B. DeMille have helped or hindered us with their images.
When I taught 5th grade religious school, at the end of every class I took about 15 minutes to tell the story of the Torah portion of the week. And when Exodus came around, I used one entire class time to tell the story of Moses from his birth through the giving of the 10 Commandments. Though I am not a master storyteller, I did get quite good at this story, and each year took great pride in the wide eyes looking back at me.
Then one year, as I explained my vision of the golden calf ("imagine all the women in your family and your classmates' families taking off their rings and bracelets and necklaces and melting them down to make this idol, it must have been about this big…"), and held my hands about two feet apart to demonstrate the size of the idol, a child interrupted me to tell me that I was "wrong" about the size. It was large enough to ride on, he said, and he knew this because he had seen it in the movie The Prince of Egypt!
Needless to say, we spent a long time that day discussing the difference between faith, and film, a religious vision, or someone else's artistic vision, and that any one person's vision is not necessarily "the truth." I realized it's not just that student's generation that sees something onscreen, and then associates the film image with the Biblical story represented. I thought about my parents' generation, and their ingrained vision of Moses parting the Sea of Reeds, courtesy of Cecil B. DeMille.
The images of God as an old man in the sky, or Charlton Heston as Moses, or a golden calf of a certain size in a movie, are all very Hollywood, and also childlike. The problem comes when we outgrow those images and do not grow into our own adult visions of faith. I think the baby sometimes gets thrown out with the bath water. If you can't believe anymore like you did as a kid, then for some it is hard to have faith in anything as Jewish adults.
So I ask you: are the images from Mr. Spielberg and Mr. DeMille "graven images"? And even if they are not technically "graven images," are they helpful or hurtful?

Coffee Stocks May Lose Some Steam This Week
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Coffee stocks are up as coffee prices are down. But earnings could change all that.
Dunkin' Brands (DNKN - Get Report) and Starbucks (SBUX - Get Report) report results Thursday. They've been flying high all year, in part due to declining coffee prices. While both companies have impressive growth strategies, the shares are trading at lofty values. That means earnings will haver to impress investors for them to rise higher.
So far this earnings season, a number of stocks that had solid earnings results traded down on the day of the report -- JPMorgan (JPM) and American Express (AXP) come to mind. Management teams have been conservative on earnings guidance. If those two companies follow suit and don't raise guidance, especially given wider margins (less of a benefit to Dunkin's franchise model; see discussion below), there could be a pullback in the shares.
12 Highest-Rated Consumer Stocks Picked by S&P >> The one thing coffee stocks have going for them is a reduction in coffee bean prices, which some believe hasn't fully been reflected in analysts' estimates. Prices on the "C" market for Arabica coffee has moved significantly below $2 on economic concerns and a strong 2012 Brazilian crop. Coffee "C" prices are down 37% from last year at this time, and down 19% from the start of the year. According to Andy Barish, an equity analyst at Jefferies (JEF), the cost of coffee for specialty coffee companies represents about 20% of sales. That should benefit the cost of goods sold, but not until 2013. Most coffee companies lock in coffee prices ahead of time -- Starbucks had prices through March 2013 locked in at the end of January. While earnings guidance for 2013 isn't expected to be provided tomorrow, commentary on bean prices probably will be. Starbucks' stock has pulled back -- it's down 6% since reaching an all-time high April 13. Expectations are for the company to report second-quarter earnings per share of $0.39, an increase of about 15% from a year earlier. Brian Sozzi, chief equities analyst at NBG Productions, says when it comes to buying the stock ahead of earnings on weakness, he would approach with caution. "The Street is very bullish with their FY12 earnings estimates (already set above management's guidance) ... I just could envision a 'sell the news' event if Starbucks beats."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Somatic Experiencing: a body-awareness approach to healing trauma
Process Therapy: a form of body-centered psychotherapy
"I can't begin to describe the very deep personal changes that I've been able to make. I have begun to believe in myself, to heal very old, limiting beliefs and to find the compassion that allows me to live beyond my past. I stand at the center of my life now and am beginning to live the life I've always wanted." T.M., Pioneer Valley, MA, 2006 |
DEFINITIONS: Somatic Therapy, Bodywork or Body-Centered Psychotherapy are different names used to describe a category of complimentary and alternative medicine (CAM) practices that involve working with the human mind-body connection to improve quality of life and promote healing. The 'Soma' in Somatic Therapy is a term that refers to the unified 'mind-body' whole that cannot be separated into parts. Techniques vary greatly and may focus on assessing and improving posture, promoting awareness of the mind-body connection, working with the breath, movement and vocalization, tracking nervous system activation for working with trauma or cathartic release of emotions. Massage is a 'hands-on' treatment in which a therapist manipulates muscles and other soft tissues of the body to improve health and well-being. Varieties of massage range from gentle movement of muscles and other soft tissues to deeper manual techniques. Massage has been practiced as a healing therapy for centuries in nearly every culture around the world. It helps relieve muscle tension, reduce stress, and evoke feelings of calmness. Although massage affects the body as a whole, it particularly influences the activity of the musculoskeletal, circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems.1 |

Second man charged in fatal Egg Harbor City drag race
Written by James Fitzpatrick Tuesday, February 05, 2013 12:22 am
< Prev | Next > |
HAMILTON TOWNSHIP ŌĆō A Burlington County man was indicted for vehicular homicide in connection with a 2011 drag race in Egg Harbor City that claimed the life of a 19-year-old woman, acting Atlantic County Prosecutor Jim McClain said.
On Monday, Feb. 4, members of the Atlantic County ProsecutorŌĆÖs Office arrested Alec Kavanagh, 20, at his residence in Brown Mills. Kavanagh is the second man charged with vehicular homicide for alleged involvement in the fatal crash on Oct. 23, 2011 that left Ashley Adams of Southampton, Burlington County, dead.
On Oct. 25, 2011 Kevin Dilks, now 21, of Chatsworth, the driver of the vehicle Adams was a passenger in, was charged with vehicular homicide, driving under the influence, reckless driving and underage drinking.
A warrant for KavanaghŌĆÖs arrest was issued after an indictment by an Atlantic County grand jury last week.
Kavanagh was indicted on charges of vehicular homicide and conspiracy. He was lodged at the Gerard L. Gormley Justice Facility on $100,000 bail.
Police said that at approximately 1:30 a.m. on the day of the crash, Dilks was driving a Jeep Cherokee south on Clarks Landing Road when he lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle left the west side of the roadway and overturned, coming to rest against several trees. Adams was ejected from the vehicle and suffered serious injuries. She was flown to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center City Campus, where she was pronounced dead a few hours later, according to a news release from the Atlantic County ProsecutorŌĆÖs Office.
Dilks was also taken to the hospital and released shortly after with no serious injuries.
It is alleged that Kavanagh was the driver of a second vehicle that was engaged in a drag race with Dilks at the time of the accident.
Anyone with information involving serious crimes is asked to call the Atlantic County ProsecutorŌĆÖs Office at (609) 909-7800 or go to the ProsecutorŌĆÖs Office website at http://www.acpo.org/tips.html and provide information by filling out the form anonymously on the Submit a Tip page.

Equatorial Guinea's response to the infrastructure funding crisis – a new international airport
Equatorial Guinea is in an enviable position in comparison to much of the rest of Africa. The discovery of ample petroleum reserves has altered the economic and political status of the country. Its gross domestic product (GDP) per capita ranks 64th in the world according to the CIA World Fact Book and its GDP growth rate during this decade has been the highest in the world at over 60%.
Despite poor living conditions for many of the population in what is still regarded as a country lacking basic human rights, the oil wealth has at least obviated the need for the government to seek outside help to fund new airport infrastructure, as the commissioning and recent opening of the President Obiang Nguema International Airport at Mongomeyen proved. The USD375 million project was funded entirely by the government. [1875 words]
This report contains the following subheadings:
- Sub-Saharan Africa's third largest oil exporter
- Per capita GDP USD19600
- Foreign airlines benefit from EU ban on indigenous carriers
- British financiers not welcome
- New airport 'a milestone in the country's economic and social development'
- Capital city development already has its airport in place
This report contains the following charts and tables:
- Map of Equatorial Guinea
- GDP Growth of Equatorial Guinea (% change): 2008 to 2017
- Inflation, average consumer prices of Equatorial Guinea (% change): 2008 to 2017
- Volume of imports of goods and services of Equatorial Guinea (% change): 2008 to 2017
- Population of Equatorial Guinea (Persons): 2008 to 2017
- Equatorial Guinea international capacity (seats) by carrier: 29-Oct-2012 to 04-Nov-2012

Helen Keller said that, bless her old soul.
And this is where I come in. Hi, I'm Liam, and welcome to The College Nomad. Those words Helen Keller spoke, or wrote, have always been a part of me since I remember reading them. I was quite young, and I knew that life was not that which was going on around me. I didn't want to have a boring life, I wanted something else, something different. Something, more.
Therefore comes in the College Nomad. I was once a college student too, a very poor stressed out little guy, trying to figure it all out. It sucked, to be honest. I didn't really make time of the college services that were available to me, but if I think about it, even if I had all the help in the world, it wouldn't have helped my issues.
I was poor. I had a shitty part-time job at Burger King. And all I wanted to do was travel. I was a gypsy inside, wanting to get out of routine, wanting to break free. I lived in a crappy house share environment, though when it got bad I lived with the rents. It all was such a burden on me, I had no idea what to do, or how to do it. And it took me FOREVER to figure it all out. I wish I was smart then, as I am now because I would have done it a lot differently. I wouldn't have invested time and money into an education that was ultimately taking me nowhere.
I wasn't doing anything practical, like Law or Commerce. Not that its practical now either, but back then I thought I wanted to do shitty American Studies because it 'interested' me. I mean, give me a break, right? Continue reading

Well, one thing I've learned about Europe is that they are not on the same wavelength as America. That's right. Turns out we're NOT the center of the universe…weird.
It's the fashion that is most easily notable. The first day, every which way that I looked I saw hats that were much longer than they needed to be, and jackets that were about two and a half times too poofy.
Naturally, I have the strong desire to blend in. Who wants to overtly appear American? Not me (our rep isn't so great over here). So, within the first two weeks I made sure to purchase a long hat ("una capella lunga" as I like to call them) and my next mission is to hunt down a puffy jacket (or giacca vento). If you join me in this mission, perhaps you can beat the fashion curve across the pond.

Fabulous aromas of minerals, pear pie, nuts with bread dough and apple character. Full-bodied, lively and wonderful with bright fruit and a clean finish. Very layered and juicy. This was a very hot year for Champagne and a year for pinot noir. But this is so fresh and complex. 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay. 10% of the pinot is fermented in barrel. Drink now. (9/ 2014)
Very elegant, ethereal in texture and well-knit, offering flavors of poached pear, black licorice, lemon pâte de fruit, pastry and ground ginger. Shows fine balance and integration, with a fresh, lasting finish of ripe fruit and saline minerality. Drink now through 2027 (10/ 2014)
Yellow-gold. Powerful smoky, floral aromas of poached pear, orange pith, dried fig and iodine, with a smoky topnote. Rich and deeply pitched but almost shockingly energetic on the palate, offering a bracing mineral character to its citrus and orchard fruit flavors. The smoky quality comes back on the finish, which shows superb clarity and finishing thrust. This Champagne's marriage of power and vivacity is pretty impressive. (11/ 2013)
A complex and dynamic Champagne, this layers the cinnamon scent of oak over white chalk and fresh pear, all deepened by an umami richness (a portion of the blend was aged in neutral oak barrels). It has the light grandeur of the 1999 vintage and appears to be at an optimal moment for drinking right now. (12/ 2013)
The Billecart-Salmon 1999 Brut Nicolas Francois Billecart its Pinot predictably from the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs accompanies aromatic overtones of yeast and baked goods with an almost doughy sense of substantiality and plushness, yet features as well the buoyancy and the bright lemony and crabapple-y acidity with attendant cut and freshness that are hallmarks of this houses style. The understatement to this cuvees melange of herbs ranging from lemon verbena to blond tobacco as well as its subtly alkaline and chalky undertone are also characteristics I associate with the name Billecart-Salmon; and nutty hints of evolution are quite discrete, suggesting a younger wine. Metaphorically cooling; laid-back and soothing; yet offering stimulating refreshment and intrigue, this will probably be well worth following for another 4-6 years. (DS) (11/ 2013)
This Champagne is composed of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay and is 1/3 barrel fermented. It is aged for three years on the lees and is dosed at a tiny 3g/l of sugar. It has a pretty white gold color and an incredible bouquet of cream, high quality toast and even some nutella. It is rich Champagne with plenty of texture, but the very low dosage snaps it right into focus. It has all the complexity one could ask for in a Champagne.-Gary Westby, K&L

Associated Press
STORRS, Conn. — Niels Giffey had a career-high 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds to help No. 21 Connecticut rally for a 73-62 victory over Stony Brook on Sunday.
Shabazz Napier had 15 of his 19 points in the second half for UConn (5-1), and Omar Calhoun added 14.
Dave Coley led Stony Brook (4-2) with 15 points and Tommy Brenton added 14.
The game was tied at 39 when Connecticut found its stroke from outside, making its final eight attempts from behind the arc. A four-point play by Napier put UConn up 61-47 with just over 4 minutes left and sealed the win.
The Huskies finished 10 of 22 from behind the arc.
Connecticut trailed 33-26 early in the second half after a 10-0 Stony Brook run that overlapped with halftime.
The Huskies chipped away at the deficit, tying it at 39 with 11:40 to play on a jumper by DeAndre Daniels.
Back-to-back 3-pointers by Napier and Giffey put UConn up 45-39. That started the run of consecutive makes from behind the arc by the Huskies.
Stony Brook made just five of their 18 3-point attempts.
Coley opened the game with a 3-pointer and the Seawolves jumped out to an early 10-2 lead.
The Huskies missed 11 of their first 12 shots from the field and trailed 14-8 midway through the first half. Napier, their leading scorer, didn't take a shot until almost 13 minutes into the game, when his layup cut the deficit to 15-14.
Ryan Boatright made a tying 3 a minute later and Daniels' putback gave the Huskies their first lead at 19-17.
Stony Brook carried a 31-26 lead into the break.
No. 1 Stanford 77
Long Beach State 41
STANFORD, Calif. — Chiney Ogwumike had 16 points and 11 rebounds and No. 1 Stanford beat Long Beach State 77-41 on Sunday in its first game holding the top spot in the poll in nearly eight years.
Joslyn Tinkle added 18 points and seven rebounds and Amber Orrange scored Stanford's first seven points of the game and finished with 13 for the Cardinal (6-0), who extended the nation's best home winning streak to 81 games at Maples Pavilion.
Orrange also had nine assists — two shy of her career best — and grabbed seven rebounds, regularly looking to find Ogwumike in the paint. Ogwumike powered to the basket on the block to draw quick fouls on the 49ers posts.
Alex Sanchez scored 14 points but was her team's lone player in double figures as cold-shooting Long Beach State (3-4) lost its sixth in a row to the Cardinal in the series. Sanchez, who came in averaging a team-leading 14.4 points per game, shot 5 for 12.
Ogwumike crashed the offensive glass for five offensive boards as the Cardinal held a 43-32 rebounding advantage. Taylor Greenfield came off the bench for 11 points with three 3-pointers.
Stanford made 6 of its first 8 3s, two each by Tinkle and Bonnie Samuelson — and both of Samuelson's 3s came during a 21-2 run that broke the game open midway through the first half and put the Cardinal ahead 36-11. They wound up 10 for 24 from long range.
The 49ers rallied from 22 points down in the second half of a 77-69 win against Utah Valley on Friday night, but were overmatched from the opening tip against the aggressive, up-tempo Cardinal.
Long Beach State faced a ranked opponent for the first time since a 51-46 upset of Southern California on Nov. 23, 2005.
Stanford's defense held Long Beach State to 18 total field goals in the first meeting between the schools in 19 years — since a 122-49 victory on Dec. 8, 1993, that set the Cardinal's single-game scoring record that still stands.
The Cardinal took over the top spot in The Associated Press poll Monday from Baylor after ending the Lady Bears' 42-game winning streak in the Rainbow Wahine Classic on Nov. 16 in Honolulu.
Stanford narrowly edged Connecticut for the No. 1 spot in this past week's poll, and the Huskies will visit Maples on Dec. 29.

The consumer group has used Freedom of Information laws (FOI) to find 30% of the 81,236 parking fine appeals received by the NSW Treasury's Office of State Revenue (OSR) were granted, avoiding fines amounting to $3.2 million. In Victoria while just 10% of the 1.6 million parking fines were contested between July 2007 and June last year, 45% of those were successfully appealed. Common defences include faulty parking meters, an hour-restricted signpost that was difficult to see or simply blatant errors made by the council parking officer in issuing the ticket. One council told CHOICE that appeals that don't demonstrate exceptional circumstances include "I forgot to check the sign," "my appointment ran over time", "it was raining", "I was in a hurry" or "I do not live in the area". Motorists who believe they have been mistakenly or unfairly hit with a parking fine have three options: pay up anyway, appeal to the council whose parking warden issued the fine, or contest the case in court. Some councils allow parking ticket appeals to be made online, so check your local council's website for details. With speed camera fines there is scope for a caution. Drivers can appeal to the police or road authority for the penalty to be withdrawn or choose to contest their case in court. But it depends on their driving record, how fast they were going and other circumstances, which differ from state to state. "CHOICE in no way condones speeding or illegal parking but there inevitably cases in which an automatic fine or conviction without reviewing the full circumstances may be patently unfair," said CHOICE spokesman Christopher Zinn. "There are systems of appeal and, as with any other dispute resolution system, it pays for consumers to understand them and how they work." The consumer group says there are companies that claim to help you get off your parking or speeding fines, typically found selling books and documents on the internet. "Before engaging their services find out specifically what they claim to offer and make sure you can't do better yourself," said Zinn.

University of Arkansas Fraternities Give to Fayetteville Families
Monday, November 21, 2011Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and the men of the University of Arkansas' 13 fraternities want to help the local community. On Sunday, Nov. 20, fraternity members joined several families from the Fayetteville area to purchase groceries for Thanksgiving dinners.
The Interfraternity Council is the governing body of all 13 fraternities on campus. This year the University of Arkansas' Interfraternity Council chose to give local families Thanksgiving dinners. The chapters joined the families on their shopping trip at Walmart on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and purchasing at least $300 worth of groceries.
The Interfraternity Council Executive Board received the names of the families from local churches, and Life Source, a non-profit organization that helps the less-fortunate.
"This philanthropy event gives us the opportunity to give back to the community that is so supportive of our university. We also have the ability to showcase our philanthropic values that are instilled in our organizations," said Daniel Kleine, Interfraternity Council president.

Mottola, just 46 years old, was diagnosed with cancer 6 months ago and was forced to stop working as Directeur Sportif of the Michela Fanin Record Rox team after the first World Cup of 2010, Trofeo Alfredo Binda. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and the team. Rest In Peace. After her crash on Stage 2, Claudia Hausler (Cervelo Test Team) was admitted to hospital in Pisa with head injuries. The young German did not require surgery, but has internal bruising and was detained in hospital for observation and further tests. Hausler has now been ruled out of participation in the World Championships in Geelong in two week's time. The risks associated with complications arising from such a long plane journey and the exertion of competition are considered too great.

Pricing on Marvin Ultimates seems high
We are looking to replace several windows in our 1912 home. Marvin Ultimates seem the best quality and best fit the style of the home however, we have been surprised by the price estimates we have received from 2 Marvin dealers.
The windows are double hung and roughly 35"X56", dual pane low E with Argon. The window frames seem to be in good condition so we are looking at inserts instead of full frame replacement. We have been quoted about $1,400 a window installed, which seems high to me as we were expecting around $1,000 installed. Does the $1,400 price seem reasonable?
Since Marvin prices seem so high we are now also considering the Andersen Woodright insert windows. Are these likely to be signifcantly less expensive than the Marvins? Any other recommnedations for quality replacement windows suitable for an old house?
That does seem high - unless the are some extra installation needs - or you specified options you didn't mention - things like different hardware, fancy screens, and SDLs can add up!
But wben I replaced my windows I ended up going with the Andersen Woodright inserts because I couldn't justify the higher cost of the Ultimates - even though I preferred the latter.
Thanks for the replies! The price excluded lead abatement which is an additional charge. The only upgrades we selected were bronze fixtures.
Looks like we will have to look at alternatives starting with the Woodrights.
that price seems within range for a basic install for the marvin ultimate.. the ultimate is a very expensive window..so 1400 per opening including install seems reasonable.
as far as lead, it is NOT an abatement, it is only containment. window contractors have a habit of confusing customers sometimes,,lol
we only contain the lead, we do not remove. abatement is very involved and very expensive and has absolutely nothing to do with a window installation. there are procedures we follow in order to keep lead dust and paint chips contained but thats it. we do not remove nor are we supposed too.
Yes it is for lead containment not abatement. The charge for lead containment comes out to around $34 per opening. The window price included wrapping the exterior sill with aluminum coil.
Thanks for all the feedback. We have another 7 openings we were planning to get replaced over next year or two so not sure we wan to to sign up for a cost of $1,400 per opening - that's a lot of sushi. We will need to look at alternatives.
Here's the deal with windows, and it's quite simple. If you will be owning your home for more than 7 years, you need to spend the money. Vinyl windows don't last, clad windows don't last, Andersen windows might last for 10-15 years.
Marvin Infinity is a true lifetime window. I have never had one fail, and I have installed maybe a hundred of them throughout projects over the years. Either new construction or replacement. When I have used Milgaard, or Andersen, or Pella--which is to say, if I still own the building--I have had to replace them after 7-10 years. It stinks.
So if you are on a budget, and see yourself selling the home within 5-7 years, certainly, do not spend the money on Marvin.
But if this is your home, and you are in it for the long run, the cost is cheaper to buy Marvins, because you'll never have to mess with your windows ever again in your lifetime.
Marvins cost twice as much. The installation costs the same. But if you are spending, say, $15,000 to replace your windows every 10 years, not to mention living through the headaches of maintenance and seeing problems, and dealing with customer service people, where is the savings in that?
If you would just spend $30,000, you'll never have to think about it ever again. And living with gorgeous functionally perfect windows that look and feel like real windows--not the plastic junk--is really very nice. If you do sell, come resale time, buyers react subconsciously to nice windows. They do. If they are well informed enough to be conscious of what brand window you used, they might say, "Gee, if these people spent the money on Marvins, they probably really maintained the rest of the house." True that.
So it's your call. There are great reasons to buy lower end Andersen and Milgaard windows. If you're selling your house and won't have to deal with them, who cares, go ahead and save your money. But if it's your home, and you see yourself there for a while, do the right thing.
If you are having that many problems with vinyl windows, you are either selling a really cheap grade or there is something lacking in your skills, or both. i have been selling qualit vinyl windows for over 20 years and have never experienced failures after 7 years.
I can also assure you that very few home buyers are window savvy enough to make their decision based on Marvin windows. That's just pure sales puffery and you know it.
Fact is, windows come in all kinds of materials and there is no window that is the right window for everyone. I would favor a good composite window like Interstate or Okna Starmark, over a Marvin Fiberglass in many situations. Interstate and Okna run circles around Marvin in terms of overall energy efficiencey, exterior and interior color options, more architectural shapes, better hardware attachment integrity, much lower air infiltration volume etc.
Inline Fiberglass also runs circles around Marvin in regards to energy efficiency and air leakage volume
A good quality vinyl window will also way out perform Marvin in terms of U-factor, and air leakage. Additionally, better vinyl window manufacturers will stand behing their products as long as a homeowner lives in the house and will also allow the warranty to transfer to the next purchaser.
Don't misunderstand, I like Marvin. It's a fine company and they make a very nice product. But don't come on here and suggest that there aren't other options that a purchaser wouldn't be completely satisfied with for a very long time. And in any cases, for considerably less money than Marvin would cost. I have yet to see the headlines that there is an epidemic of vinyl window failures sweeping the country. If there were, it would be in all the consumer magazines, online home improvement forums etc.
Yep, that was my initial thought. Felt like I was listening to a RBA sales pitch. Straight out of the sales training manual. I know it's not always the easiest task in the world to convince a homeowner to purchase your premium quality and premium priced product. OTOH, I think it says a lot about a salesperson when they feel they have to bash and misrepresent their competition in order to sell their product. It usually more productive to work on your sales skills. Become more persuasive.

The most celebrated inscription at the Central Intelligence Agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, used to be the biblical phrase chiseled into marble in the main lobby: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." But in recent years, another text has been the subject of intense scrutiny inside the Company and out: 865 characters of seeming gibberish, punched out of half-inch-thick copper in a courtyard.
It's part of a sculpture called Kryptos, created by DC artist James Sanborn. He got the commission in 1988, when the CIA was constructing a new building behind its original headquarters. The agency wanted an outdoor installation for the area between the two buildings, so a solicitation went out for a piece of public art that the general public would never see. Sanborn named his proposal after the Greek word for hidden. The work is a meditation on the nature of secrecy and the elusiveness of truth, its message written entirely in code.
Almost 20 years after its dedication, the text has yet to be fully deciphered. A bleary-eyed global community of self-styled cryptanalysts—along with some of the agency's own staffers—has seen three of its four sections solved, revealing evocative prose that only makes the puzzle more confusing. Still uncracked are the 97 characters of the fourth part (known as K4 in Kryptos-speak). And the longer the deadlock continues, the crazier people get. :rolleyes: :huh:
SR: Actually the message reads......
"You all are a bunch of no di**ed James Bond wannabes....Signed Ayn Rand"

But sometimes, one part goes missing and a replacement is needed." Chapter 1: AssaultIn search of answers on the mysteries of Captain, Snippy warily snuck through the city, his target within sight. It was one of those days when Captain would decide to go on a long walk alone, then suddenly disappear and not return again until late in the evening. Nobody ever found out what he did or where he went. But this time, Snippy was following him imperceptibly. Asking never revealed the answers to his questions, for Captain would feign ignorance and simply change the topic to pull his head out of the loop. So now Snippy was on a... discovery mission (which totally didn't count as stalking), close enough to keep the leader in vision and just distant enough to avoid being seen.At the end of the street, the man in the gray wool

Using a metal tire valve for releasing pressure or pressurizing. A 3/16id plastic tube with compression fitting for beer uptake. going to a beer line attched to a thumb tap.EDIT: PLEASE USE A PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE TO AVOID KEG RUPTURING IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY DUMP TO MUCH PRESSURE INTO THE HOME MADE KEG USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

What? Have I gone to Urban Redneck for comments?
How does it work out?
What kind of water bottle?

Cool. That's a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll! How's it working out?
Once the wind has been broken, it cannot be fixed.
Does the cost of rigging that compare with picking up a used Corny, or was the purpose more for fun?
So far, I've had more experience thinking than I've had brewing....you don't think they are mutually exclusive, do you? 72 batches so far, 48 wine, mostly Loquat, peach, plum, prickly pear 23 beers and ciders 1 sauerkraut 1 Tequila, from a prickly pear wine experiment that didn't work. I call it "Prickly Heat"
Well, It works just fine. It didn't cost much for parts. I'd have to buy a tap regardless what keg I was using so the parts were really under $10 Canadain. (line with tap was another $12) We already had a few of these lying around since the place we get bottled water uses these, so I snagged one for use. Since it just the Cap of the bottle I've modified I can still return the empty botlle for the deposit when ever I want. It's a 5 gallon plastic water bottle that has a threaded top. I drilled two holes in the cap and added the fittings. I test pressure with a tire gauge. If it's to high then release some pressure. If you need to add more then you can use a co2 tire inflater, whcih is exactly what a lot of people use with those other plastc kegs or 5L party kegs. Since you don't need to purchase a regulator, CO2 bottle etc it's fairly cheap. It's good is you have you'd like 1 or 2 batches in kegs. Cornys are more convenient but the platic keg is good if you don't yet want to drop the coin to purchase a corny setup. Besides. It's a fun thing to build if you are bored!
Good call i will give it a crake
