Nighttime grape harvesting
Workers harvest ripe cabernet sauvignon grapes at the Shafer Vineyards "Borderline" site in Napa Valley, Calif., before sunrise to help keep the sugar levels stable and avoid "surprises" during the fermentation process. The scene at this vineyard is part of a worldwide practice that's increasingly the way all wine grapes are harvested -- in the dead of night.
Pickers can work longer hours in the lower temperatures at night -- and also avoid the wasps, bees and rattlesnakes that come out during the day.
Harvesting grapes at night is common worldwide, says Gregory Jones, a viticulture expert at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. "I have seen night harvests in South Africa, Australia, Argentina, Chile, Europe you name it," he says.
When the grapes are picked cool, the vineyards can save energy because they don't have to chill them before they're crushed.
California produces 61% of U.S.-made wines, according to the Wine Institute, and about two-thirds of those are from grapes harvested at night, says Nat DiBuduo, president of Allied Grape Growers, a California wine-grape marketing cooperative.
At 4 a.m., Shafer Vineyards is alive with light and motion. The sun won't be up for more than three hours but lines of pickers are moving methodically down vines full of ripe cabernet sauvignon grapes. They're lit by huge bright lights mounted on trucks trundling alongside.
Workers harvest ripe cabernet sauvignon grapes at the Shafer Vineyards "Borderline" site.
Today, most vineyards use diesel-powered light towers on trailers to help the pickers. Still, there are some vineyards where they "don't even use lights, they just have head lamps on the guys' heads."

This is the latest installment in a year-end series looking back at a few of the hundreds of victories by the ACLJ in 2011.
After working with orphans in the ravaged nation of Haiti for eight years, American Christian missionary Danny Pye was detained and falsely imprisoned without explanation or any formal charge against him. For over five months, Danny sat in the inhumane conditions of prison in a third world country – apart from his pregnant wife and young child.
Danny's wife and attorney in Haiti spent months working to free him or even learn the nature the charges against him. At one point another judge agreed to release Danny just in time for Christmas 2010, but at the last minute the judge who had originally imprisoned him overruled the release and ordered that he remain in jail.
In early March this year, Danny's wife contacted the ACLJ. Our attorney's immediately went to work to secure his release. We worked around the clock to free this wrongly imprisoned missionary, meeting with Haiti's Ambassador to the U.S. in Washington, DC and the U.S. State Department. Less than a week later, Danny was not only free from prison but back at home in the U.S. just in time for the birth of his second child.
This was an extraordinary victory. Not every client is a wrongly imprisoned Christian missionary; not every case is resolved this quickly; but this is the work that we are actively engaged in each day at the ACLJ in our truly global effort in defense of life and liberty.
To help the ACLJ continue to have the resources we need to produce and distribute these critical resources, please consider making a donation to the ACLJ through our year-end Matching Challenge. Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar though the end of the year.
You can read more about Danny Pye's situation here and more in the ACLJ's 2011 Victories series here.

Full text not available from this repository.
Knowledge of mammalian diversity is still surprisingly disparate, both regionally and taxonomically. Here, we present a comprehensive assessment of the conservation status and distribution of the world's mammals. Data, compiled by 1700+ experts, cover all 5487 species, including marine mammals. Global macroecological patterns are very different for land and marine species but suggest common mechanisms driving diversity and endemism across systems. Compared with land species, threat levels are higher among marine mammals, driven by different processes (accidental mortality and pollution, rather than habitat loss), and are spatially distinct (peaking in northern oceans, rather than in Southeast Asia). Marine mammals are also disproportionately poorly known. These data are made freely available to support further scientific developments and conservation action.

By the look in your eye I can tell you're gonna cry is it over me?

Editorial: Environmental regulations priority in oil country
Sen. John Hoeven introduced legislation last week which says states, not the federal government, are best equipped to be the primary regulators of hydraulic fracturing.

AsiaProfile: Hakimullah Mehsud Pakistani Taliban leader was killed in US drone strike weeks after he said he was ready for talks. 02 Nov 2013 11:15 GMT | Asia, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Pakistan, United States Mehsud took over the reigns of Taliban in 2009 after his mentor Baitullah Mehsud was killed in drone strike [EPA]Hakimullah Mehsud, the head of the Pakistani Taliban, has been killed by a US drone strike in Pakistan's North Waziristan region bordering Afghanistan, security sources have told Al Jazeera. Mehsud, who was believed to be in his mid-30s and was one of Pakistan's most wanted men, has been reported dead several times before. But late on Friday, several intelligence and army sources across Pakistan confirmed he had been killed, along with his bodyguard and driver, in the drone strike. The Taliban have confirmed his death, but there was no immediate comment from the government. The US offered $5m for Mehsud's capture after he appeared in a farewell video with the Jordanian suicide bomber who killed seven CIA employees at a base in Afghanistan in 2009. The US prosecutors have charged him with involvement in the attack. The killing was the latest in a series of setbacks for the Pakistani Taliban. A drone strike killed Mehsud's number two in May and one of his most trusted lieutenants was captured in Afghanistan last month. The death follows months of debate over potential peace talks between the Taliban and the new government of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who swept to a landslide victory in May elections. Came into prominence Mehsud came to prominence in the Taliban movement after a number of devastating raids on the nation's regular army in 2007. His first-ever mention in an English-language newspaper came when he was appointed as a spokesman for Baitullah Mehsud, his predecessor and mentor. Mehsud then gained a reputation for his fighting skills, particularly with the AK-47, and served as Baitullah Mehsud's deputy commander until the leader died in a CIA drone missile strike in August 8, 2009. Never shy of the media, Mehsud was reportedly an extremely mobile Taliban commander - cropping up in one or other of the tribal areas regularly, especially the Khyber, Kurram and Orakzai tribal agencies. He was an articulate leader, frequently spelling out his organisation's objectives: to maintain the campaign of attrition against the Pakistani army in order to carve out a Pashtun Taliban emirate in Pakistan. He was also the Pakistani Taliban's most successful leader to date. In one especially audacious raid, he captured 300 Pakistani soldiers - an attack that local journalists say added greatly to his prestige. 'Lively and dangerous' Shafiq Ahmad, a reporter for Geo TV in Peshawar, met the leader at the beginning of 2009. "Hakimullah is a lively man," he said. "He told us he could give us two gifts. One was the Humvee military vehicle that his fighters had captured during a recent raid in the Khyber pass on an Afghanistan-bound supply convoy for Nato forces. Mehsud, left, had vowed to continue war of attrition against the Pakistani military [AFP] "The other was a jeep that his men had snatched from UN employees." Another journalist, the BBC's Syed Shoaib Hasan, met Mehsud at the same time and was impressed by a "handsome young man with a pleasant demeanour", even though "danger radiated from him". "He [would] drive like a man possessed, manoeuvring around razor sharp bends at barely possible speeds ... braking inches short of a several hundred-foot drop." Mehsud was born near the town of Jandola in South Waziristan around 1980 and went to a small village school in Hangu District. Mehsud's reputation grew with every inaccurate claim by the Pakistani government to have killed him. On August 10, 2009, Pakistani officials announced his death, saying he had been hit by an unmanned drone attack after intercepting his phone calls. But just hours later a Reuters news agency journalist reported he had spoken to Mehsud after the attack. Later, on September 5, Pakistan forces "captured a man who confessed to killing Hakimullah", according to the national newspaper The Daily Times, which also headlined four weeks later that Hakimullah had most probably died on October 1. The headline was ruined three days later when the press-loving leader met a group of reporters in a bid to end any premature speculation of his demise. Reward offered Unabashed, Rehman Malik, the then Pakistan's interior minister, maintained doubts about the video following the meeting, claiming it was Mehsud's look-alike brother that featured in the footage. Hakimullah was involved in al-Balawi's attack on CIA operatives in Afghanistan [AFP] Clearly Malik had a change of heart, however, because on November 2, Al Jazeera's Imran Khan revealed that the Pakistani government was offering a $600,000 reward to anyone who could provide information that lead to the capture or death of Mehsud. By early January 2010, no one was left in any doubt of his sprightliness when he appeared in another video alongside suicide bomber Humam al-Balawi. Al-Balawi was a Jordanian national who attacked the US army Camp Chapman in Afghanistan on 30 December, an attack he called a "retaliation for the death of Baitullah Mehsud". And in the early hours of January 14, two missiles from a US drone - that struck a mosque in the Shaktoi area - led to speculation the Pakistan Taliban leader was among the 18 killed in the attack. But just days later, the Taliban released an audio tape where a man who claimed to be Mehsud said he had not even been injured in the attack. "I am saying it again - I am alive, I am OK, I am not injured ... when the drone strike took place, I was not present in the area at that time", the recording said. However, Pakistani television reported on January 31 that Mehsud had died on January 17 and that his body had been buried. The Taliban dismissed the reports, and on April 29, unnamed Pakistani intelligence officials said that after new checks, they had concluded that Mehsud had only been injured in January, not killed. Two days later, a failed car bomb was discovered in New York's Times Square, and what appeared to be Mehsud soon showed up in video recordings, warning the US of attacks and claiming "full responsibility for the recent attack in the USA". The videos, released by IntelCenter and SITE, two US-based groups monitoring Taliban media, were allegedly recorded in April.Source: Al Jazeera

OTTAWA, Dec. 27— When the courts ordered Aleksei Yashin to fulfill the fifth and final year of his contract with the Ottawa Senators last season, fans at the Corel Center took to jeering him, even though he played for the home team. Turns out they were just warming up.
Tonight, Yashin played his first game in Ottawa since being traded to the Islanders on June 23. His arrival on Long Island marked the end of a relationship with a team, its fans and a city that began as a promising love affair, but ended bitterly with Yashin's demand for a raise and his season-long holdout.
The sellout crowd of 18,500 tonight came to heckle Yashin as much as to enjoy a matchup between two of the Eastern Conference's better teams. They left doubly happy: Ottawa rallied twice before defeating the Islanders, 5-2, and Yashin was held scoreless.
When Yashin skated onto the ice for the pregame warm-up, he was booed lustily by the several thousand fans who had arrived early. Later, when the arena was nearly full, a deafening roar of disapproval erupted when his name was announced.
Yet aside from the occasional obscenity and the catcalls each time Yashin touched the puck, the fans were well behaved. There were few handmade signs, but a Senators official said security workers confiscated tasteless placards at the door.
The teams played to a 2-2 tie on Dec. 11 at Uniondale, N.Y., when Yashin had a goal and an assist. Tonight he did not have a point, but he said he was not distracted.
''I can't control what is said,'' Yashin said of the fans. ''I can't control what they think. Fans pay their money. I just tried to do my best.''
Yashin said it was a bit strange being in Ottawa, but added, ''I have moved to New York, moved into my new house, and am hoping to build on something with this team.''
The Islanders (18-11-5-2) took a 1-0 lead 16 minutes 42 seconds into the first period when Shawn Bates took a pass from Michael Peca to score short-handed, his 11th goal of the season.
In the second period, Senators center Radek Bonk tied the score with a power-play goal at 3:41 on a slap shot from the blue line. The Islanders regained the lead at 8:18, when wing Mariusz Czerkawski scored his 12th goal with a wrist shot over a sprawling Patrick Lalime. But Senators (19-14-4-0) defenseman André Roy tied it with a backhand at 14:23.
Ottawa broke the tie on a power play at 5:10 of the third period, when Marian Hossa shoveled a rebound past Islanders goalie Chris Osgood to make it 3-2. Wade Redden and Bonk scored short-handed, empty-net goals in the final 47 seconds. Osgood made 33 saves, including 18 in the second period, and Lalime had 27.
Hockey fans in Ottawa had been looking forward to this game since the summer trade that sent Yashin to the Islanders for defenseman Zdeno Chara, wing Bill Muckalt and the second overall pick in the draft.
Yashin took the opening face-off against Todd White, and the boos rained. When he won the draw and sent White to his knees with a soft shove, the fans grew boisterous. In the third period, when Chara leveled Yashin with a crushing check, the crowd became delirious with joy.
''I think he should be used to it after last year,'' Islanders Coach Peter Laviolette said. ''It didn't catch him off guard. He played a pretty strong game.''
Why would Yashin be affected? He got what he wanted and is excelling. Yashin leads the Islanders with 38 points -- 17 goals and 21 assists -- and is establishing himself as the superstar Ottawa had hoped he would be when it selected him second over all in the 1992 N.H.L. entry draft.
''He's a big-time player,'' Islanders defenseman Adrian Aucoin said. ''He doesn't get bothered by fans at all.''
After giving up millions while sitting out the 1999-2000 season in Ottawa, Yashin signed a 10-year, $87.5 million contract with the Islanders, saying it would be a privilege to spend the rest of his career with them. His efforts suggest he meant it. But Ottawa cannot forget.
Yashin was due the final $3.6 million of a deal signed in 1995, but he wanted $9 million or a trade and chose to sit out. He was forced to play the 2000-1 season when an arbitrator ruled he owed the Senators his services.
Yashin had 40 goals and 48 assists in the regular season, but just one assist in the playoffs as the Senators were swept by the Toronto Maple Leafs, scoring just three goals in four games. It was Ottawa's third straight first-round playoff exit. The fans blamed Yashin, just as they had in 1999 when the Senators were swept by the Buffalo Sabres and he did not score a point.
He had come a long way from his promising beginnings. By the time he refused to play, the city's love for him was dead.
As the final minutes of tonight's game ticked away and the fans chanted Yashin's name in a taunting sing-song, it was clear their disgust lives large.

Dependence of birefringence and residual stress near laser-induced cracks in fused silica on laser fluence and on laser-pulse number
Applied Optics, Vol. 37, Issue 33, pp. 7772-7784 (1998)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1035 KB)
Measurements of birefringence induced in fused-silica specimens by a crack produced by a 351-nm/500-ps Nd:glass laser as a function of laser fluence F L and of number of laser shots N are presented. The varying dimensional parameter is found to be the crack depth a and can be put in the form a(mm) = (0.0096 ± 0.0021)N[(F L /Fexit/th) - 1]2/3 with F L ≥ Fexit/th(Fexit/th is the exit-surface damage threshold). The retardance data are converted into units of stress, thus permitting the estimation of residual stress near the crack. The results of the measured residual stress can be cast in the form σ r (MPa) ≈ (0.0386 ± 0.0051)[(F L /Fexit/th) - 1]1/2 N2/3 with F L ≥ Fexit/th. A theoretical model giving the stress field around a crack is developed for comparison and shows reasonable agreement with the experiment. Good agreement with experimental data of others is also obtained. The effect of residual stresses on fracture strength is pointed out. The results obtained show that the presence of birefringence/residual stress in a fused-silica specimen with a crack on its surface has a strong effect on fracture and should be taken into account in any formulation that involves the failure strength of optical components used in inertial-confinement-fusion experiments.

Date — 14 November, 2012
For little Kumara, aged eight, it was the best day of her young life as she became the centre of attention when Laureus World Sports Academy member and Olympic legend Steve Redgrave visited the Foundation of Goodness community sports project in Sri Lanka.
Kumara – full name Kumara Wadu Parami Apsara – is the winner of a worldwide drawing competition. Her design is engraved into the case back of the Portofino Chronograph Edition Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, a special edition watch from IWC Schaffhausen. Five time Olympic-gold-medal-winning rower Steve Redgrave travelled to Seenigama, Sri Lanka, to congratulate the youngster and hand over her prize.
It is the sixth time that IWC Schaffhausen has selected a model from its collection as a means of supporting the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. On each occasion youngsters from Laureus-supported projects around the world have taken part in the drawing competition. This year the jury selected the illustration by Kumara, who interpreted the theme of the competition – "Time to inspire" – with a picture showing four young girls happily playing sport and enjoying themselves. The engraving is a reminder that a portion of the proceeds from sales will help disadvantaged children around the world.
Steve Redgrave said: "I have taken part in some important and exciting Laureus events since I became a member of the Laureus Academy, but I think being able to travel to Sri Lanka to meet young Kumara and give her this prize was one of the best moments I have had. You could see the delight in her eyes and her pride in what she had achieved. It's wonderful to think that the drawing she has made will travel around the world on the back of this watch from IWC and raise money to help other youngsters like her. It is a perfect example of how Laureus can give opportunities to young people that they would not normally get. I wish her all the best in the future as I do all the kids that I met in Sri Lanka."
Since 2005, as part of its social responsibility, IWC Schaffhausen has been one of the main sponsors of the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, an organization that brings together top-flight sport and social commitment at a high level.
Kumara is a participant in the Seenigama Sport for Life project. She was born exactly a month before the tsunami in December 2004 devastated the area around Galle in Sri Lanka and led the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation to support the Seenigama project, which helped to rebuild community spirit in the aftermath of the disaster. Kumara received a laptop as her prize and there was also a donation to the project from IWC Schaffhausen.
The Portofino Chronograph Edition Laureus Sport for Good Foundation in stainless steel is available in a limited edition of 2,500 watches. Designed in characteristic Laureus blue, it is a symbol of hope for a better future.

Relive or experience for the first time the beautiful story of Tidus, Yuna and the rest of the gang with shinier graphics and a newly arranged soundtrack. Don't forget the Sun Crest like I did.

of the PlayStation Store Team is here with this weeks European PSN Game Store updates, which include Strider, Rayman Legends and Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry.
To quote: Any old-timers among you can give a warm welcome back to Strider today, available on PS4 and PS3. Hiryu has been absent in our world for quite some time, outside of an appearance in the Marvel vs Capcom series.
But this week he has a game all to himself. Zip and cartwheel around with his signature Cypher in hand, and generally have a bit of a crazy time dodging enemy projectiles.
Also available this week for PS4 is the gorgeous Rayman Legends. It's more 2D platforming fun to get involved with, so if you missed it on PS3 and PS Vita and need some lush cartoon visuals on your new hardware then gobble this up. There's no reason to miss out on a great game now.
And that's not all. Check out 8-bit inspired Gunslugs for PS Vita, tasty JRPG Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God and the first beta for the huge Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on PS4.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- P&J Oyster Company, a 134-year old operation in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter, has stopped shucking.
The company processes and distributes oysters. A big part of its business was shucking oysters out of their shells, but that has been killed off by the BP oil spill. Fewer oysters are being farmed in the oil-stained waters of the Gulf of Mexico. So P&J Oyster has no oysters to shuck.
"My son -- who is delivering oysters right now -- he asked me yesterday, 'Should I go apply for food stamps?' " said Al Sunseri, president and co-owner of P&J Oyster. "I started here when I was 21, and I remember how I wanted to carry on the tradition of our business and I remember the feeling of not only the pressures of trying to carry on this long-standing business but also the opportunity that I had to do it."
Oyster shuckers are paid by the piece and typically make between $16 and $24 an hour depending on how skilled they are, according to Al Sunseri. Thursday was the last day P&J Oyster did any shucking, and 11 shuckers didn't have a job to report to on Friday.
Sunseri had warned his employees that the end was near, and the shuckers started working with BP representatives and Louisiana state representatives Thursday to arrange compensation for lost wages.
Oysters are big business in the Gulf area. About 67% of the nation's total production of oysters comes from the region, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In 2008, Louisiana alone landed nearly 13 million pounds of oysters worth almost $40 million in sales at the dock.
Oyster supply woes: The oyster farmer beds that P&J Oyster buys supply from were shuttered as a precaution. Sunseri isn't convinced the farms will reopen. A lot of the most productive oyster farms are closed: "That puts a real crunch on availability," he said.
Restaurants that depend on P&J Oyster have had to scramble. Dickie Brennan is the owner of Bourbon House, a restaurant in New Orleans' French Quarter. His family owns a handful of restaurants that depend on P&J Oyster Company.
Many of the restaurants that P&J Oyster works with have been customers for generations and want to continue to support the family-owned distributor. "I own and operate 3 restaurants: We are pretty good volume for these guys," Brennan said.
The Bourbon House buys both shucked oysters -- for sautéing, frying, and poaching -- and whole oysters -- for the traditional oyster on the half shell.
Brennan said he has been able to get oysters from distributors that draw from outside of the areas shut down by the spill. He hopes P&J Oyster will get back on its feet eventually.
"We are like family -- New Orleans is a small city," Brennan said. "I talk to Sal or Al 5 times a day and we are trying to come up with different strategies, but the goal is that P&J can get back to normal."
Selling oranges in an apple market: Without Gulf coast oysters to purchase, Sunseri doesn't know what is next for his 25-employee business. He is considering purchasing oysters from the East and West coast to deliver to his long-time customers.
Even if he can get prepackaged oysters on the half shell delivered from other regions of the country, there won't be enough to shuck. "The market in the end is going to determine what they do. They will help me as much as they possibly can," said Sunseri.
And the oysters won't be the Gulf variety that tourists travel for and the locals love. "It is like trying to sell oranges instead of apples in an apple market," explained Sunseri. "Those oranges that people aren't accustomed to eating instead of those apples, they are having to pay 3 times the price."
Sunseri doesn't know what is next for his oyster business. It takes oysters between 18 and 24 months to grow to full size to be harvested, and the next spawning season is in jeopardy. "There is a lot of unknown and it has everything to do with so much that we have never seen happen before."
