Afternoon Line Part 2

For how long did every agent, every player -- often orchestrated by the union -- drive every contract negotiation to the highest possible dollar, whether or not the team offering the contract could truly afford it?
We've always said, don't blame Shawn Horcoff for signing a six-year, $33-million deal. Or Scott Gomez (seven years, $51 million). Or Wade Redden (six years, $39 million.) I would have signed it; you would have signed it.
That does not mean, however, that there are no repercussions for draining far more from the game than one's value as a player deems appropriate. As a whole, that's what players have done: Taken more from the coffers than the game can afford to give them over the years, and now the pendulum swings back.

The fallacy here, though, is that except in very rare circumstances—teams in need or reaching the cap floor—the owners and general managers never HAD to give out these contracts, never HAD to acquiesce to the players'/agents' demands.
It's the same thing with the negotiation right now for no long-term contracts. Really? Is this worth a fight? Here's an idea: don't offer these deals! And if an agent asks for one…say no!

Players' salaries tied directly to HRR. When a player is overpaid, he is taking more money than he deserves from his fellow players, not from the league and their cost-certainty.
It's quite sad that somebody with a national voice can't seem to ever remember that basic tenet of the last CBA.

Director is such a tool. I have a hard time remembering when I've seen an article of his linked which was not crap. His premise here is completely uninformed.

Truth in Action Ministries regularly produces slick documentary-like videos filled with Religious Right leaders warning that activist judges are destroying the country, gay rights is turning America into a "lawless" nation, and how the United States is on the road to becoming just like Nazi Germany.
In fact, warning that America is turning into Nazi Germany seems to be Truth in Action's favorite scare tactic, which explains the organization's newest video, "Tyranny: The High Cost of Forgetting God," which "looks at Christians who stood against Hitler's tyrannical rule, and modern day Christian 'heroes' fighting for righteousness in America today." In the video, Tony Perkins, Richard Land, and Wendy Wright explain that things like banning prayer in schools, legalizing abortion, and kicking God out of the public square all signal that the United States is following the same path that led to the Holocaust:

Bottom Line
Avast! Rescue Disc can scan and clean any Windows installation, including one on a drive removed from another PC. No other product I've seen can do that. Its cleanup wasn't the most thorough, but it would probably be sufficient to revive a system rendered unbootable by malware.

I read the other comment and thought I should add my own. We have these pjs for our 14 month old, and I think the material feels fine. We wanted pjs like these that were 100% cotton (most aren't). I think they're soft enough and fit my son well (they are snug, but they're supposed to be). We're happy with them, and I was actually shopping around for the next size up for him.... :)

RIGHTS OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTSFaithful teachers who enjoy good traits occupy a high position in the society because of the appreciative efforts they exert for educating and supplying individuals with knowledge and moralities. Besides, they are the pioneers of culture and guides of th e coming generation. On account of that, they must enjoy definite rights against their students. First of all, students must respect their teachers in the same way as they respect their fathers so as to express their appreciation to them. Alexander, once, was asked why he used to respect his teacher in a way better than his respecting his father. He answered: "My father is the founder of my transient life while my teacher is the founder of my changeless life." Imam al-Baqir (a) said: "He who teaches an item of knowledge that leads to the right guidance will be having the same rewards of them who apply that item to themselves, without any decrease in their rewards. And he who teaches an item of deviation will b e having to burden the same punishment that is decided for those who practice such an item without any decrease in their punishment." ( 1 ) Students must appreciate their teachers' efforts and reward them by means of showing gratitude and respect and following their recommendations. They also must |
pardon and neglect any situation of strictness or discipline that are intended for their good e ducationally and morally. The best comprehensive word that gathered the rights of teachers is the following saying of Imam as-Sejjad (a): "The right of the one who trains you through knowledge is magnifying him, respecting his sessions, listening well to him, attending to him with devotion, avoiding raising your voice against him, avoiding answering any question before he answers, avoiding talking to anyone during his instructions, avoiding backbiting anyone before him, doing your best to defend him when he is backbitten and cover his flaws and publicize his good traits. Do not sit with his enemy and do not antagonize his friend. If you d o so, the angels will testify for you that you have attended to him and received his knowledge for the sake of Allah, not people." ( 2 ) Rights of StudentsSeekers of studies enjoy particular standings of virtue and honor because they exert diligent efforts for seeking, retaining, and conveying knowledge to the coming generations. The Prophet (s) said: "The like of students among the ignorant is the alive among the dead." ( 3 ) "Seeking knowledge is a duty that is imposed upon every male and female Muslim. It is most surely that Allah loves seekers of knowledge." ( 4 ) "The scholar and the seeker of knowledge are partners in the same rewarding: two for the scholar and one for the seeker of knowledge. Any other class is worthless." ( 5 ) Such merits traits are dedicated to the sincere students who aim at achieving self-discipline and moral conduct. The students who are empty of such intentions are deprived of such memorable traits and will have nothing more than transitory goals. Let us now refer briefly to some of the students' rights: |
1. Quoted from al-Wafi; part 1 page 42 (as quoted from al-Kafi).
2. Quoted from The Treatise of Rights; Imam as-Sejjad (a).
3. Quoted from Bihar ul-Anwar; 1/58 (as quoted from at-Tusi's al-Amali).
4. Quoted from al-Wafi; part 1 page 36 (as quoted from al-Kafi).
5. Quoted from Bihar ul-Anwar; 1/56 (as quoted from Bassaair ud-Darajat).

The third Annual Whole Grain Sampling Day is set for April 2, and a number of restaurants, foodservice organizations, supermarkets and more have already signed on to participate by offering special promotions or no cost whole grain items to their patrons on that day.
Organized by Boston-based non-profit Oldways and its Whole Grains Council WGC, last year's event encouraged millions of Americans to taste whole grains, according to a news release.
"Most people only need to try a new whole grain to realize they like it," said Cynthia Harriman, director of Food and Nutrition Strategies for the Whole Grains Council and Oldways. "This means that the best way to increase whole grain consumption and nudge people to better health is to find ways to help everyone try more whole grains .We invite the entire food industry to celebrate Whole Grain Sampling Day with us this year."
Among the first partners signed up to participate in this year's event are McDonald's, the National Restaurant Association, Compass Group, Barilla, Healthy Dining Finder, and the American Institute of Cancer Research. Past partners have included Arby's, several supermarket chains, Cooking Light magazine and many manufacturers. There are no fees or contracts in order to join.
Ideas for participation include:
The WGC is listing all participants on its website starting in early February and broadcasting news to its newsletter subscribers and social media contacts. A Twitter conversation is also being held using the hashtag #SampleWholeGrains.
To participate or for more information, contact Danita Boyce, WGC, at 617-896-4880 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Departmental Honors in Chemistry involves demonstrating excellence in both depth and breadth of the discipline, through accomplishments on a specific research project and achievement in studying the principle areas of chemistry knowledge.
Students wishing to pursue Senior Honors research in Chemistry should apply to the Chemistry Department Chair no later than April 15 of the Spring semester of their Junior year. Admission into the Honors program requires the approval of the Che mistry Department and the College. College minimum academic requirements (from the Course of Study) are:
In addition, the Department expects:
The Honors Program consists of five parts: (all specific dates will be given during the Fall semester of the Senior year)
A. Coursework. In addition to the minimum requirements for the Chemistry major, Honors students in Chemistry must complete CHEM 256: Biochemistry. Honors students are encouraged to enroll in CHEM 475 in order to work on learning about the primary literature related to their research project. An Honors candidate who is not a Chemistry major must complete the same lecture courses (but not necessarily lab courses) required for the Chemistry major: 231, 232, 335, 341, and 336 or 343, and one additional 300-400 level course.
B. Research . Honors research (CHEM 497-498) builds upon an established research project conducted with a faculty mentor in the Chemistry Department. Students accepted by the department to pursue Senior Honors research are those who have already demonstrated research proficiency and who show a strong potential for successfully completing the program. Work completed in the senior year, however, is the emphasis of the thesis and evaluation. Prior to the senior year, candidates must successfully complete at least two semesters (or one semester and one summer) of research at Kenyon:
Senior Honors - CHEM 497-498. Expectations for Senior Honors research are:
These research requirements are evaluated to determine the grade in CHEM 497-498, which is a year course with a single grade.
C. Thesis. The thesis is based on the research project and is submitted to an outside examiner for review. The Introduction section of the Honors thesis, reviewing relevant background material and primary literature articles relating to the project, must be submitted to the Department at the end of January (a complete draft is due before leaving campus in the Fall semester); we encourage Introduction sections to be 25 pages or less. A full thesis also includes sections describing Experimental methods, Results and Discussion, and includes appropriate references. A minimum of 50 pages is normally expected. Students should consult their faculty mentors on questions of style and format. Eight copies of the full thesis must be submitted to the Department by the end of April.
A final corrected copy of the thesis, with any changes requested following the oral exam, must be submitted to the department in mid-May. A copy must also be submitted to Olin Library. Be sure to follow the Kenyon College guidelines for the format of an Honors Thesis.
D. Written Examination. Honors students must satisfactorily complete a written examination covering material from the principle areas of our curriculum. This examination has six parts in the following areas:
Students choose to answer 5 of the 6 parts of the exam. The examination will be held near the end of April, after the thesis is due and before the Oral Exam.
E. Oral Examination. An oral examination is held at the end of the Spring semester. The candidate begins with a 30-minute oral presentation on their thesis research. If the candidate wishes, this talk can be open to the public. The oral presentation is followed by the oral examination, which is closed to the public and is conducted by an outside examiner along with the department faculty. The oral exam covers material from the thesis and (possibly) the written examination. Thus, students are strongly encouraged to prepare for the oral examination following the written examination.
The awarding of "Honors" (or "High Honors" or "Highest Honors") is decided by the outside examiner in consultation with the department faculty. The decision is based on: (1) the quality of the thesis, (2) lab productivity, (3) the oral summary and examinations, and (4) the written exam. Meeting deadlines set for the various parts of the program are also considered.
Students working toward Senior Honors simultaneously complete requirements for the Senior Exercise in Chemistry or Biochemistry. The 30- minute oral presentation of the thesis research (in May) counts as the oral portion of the Senior Exercise, and the Introduc tion section of the Honors Thesis (submitted in January) counts as the written part of the Senior Exercise. A grade for the Senior Exercise (passed, or passed with distinction) is a separate grade from Honors. In addition, Honors candidates must attend all of the regular Senior Exercise presentations during the Spring semester.
The Kenyon College Course of Study states that "at any time the Department may deny the student the opportunity to continue in honors." Also, some students elect not to complete the Honors Program for various reasons. The Department encourages students to consider the expectations and rewards of completing the program before the senior year, and we would like all students to complete the program. An Honors candidate who does not meet the expectations for the Fall semester will need to drop CHEM 498 and will receive a grade for CHEM 497 and will complete the standard Senior Exercise (see separate guidelines) at the beginning of the Spring semester. The research project could be continued for credit by enrolling in CHEM 376. An Honors candidate who does not meet the expectations during the Spring semester will not receive a degree "with Honors", but will receive a grade for CHEM 497-498 that reflect the effort for the year. To satisfy the Senior Exercise in Chemistry in this case, the student must give a 30- minute oral presentation on their project (background, results and analysis) before the end of the Spring semester.
Students graduating with Honors in Chemistry often state that it was the part of their time at Kenyon about which they are most proud. The Chemistry Department shares this pride and encourages students to consider the path toward Honors and discuss with us the challenges and rewards.

Several studies have analysed the diagnostic value of specific IgE (sIgE) for individual peanut allergens. However, little is known about the concordance between different techniques available in both children and adults.
To evaluate the value of individual peanut allergens by different techniques, i.e. multi-plexed microarray, single-plexed IgE assay, skin prick test (SPT) and immunoblot in both peanut allergic adults and children.
Sensitization patterns to peanut allergens Ara h 1, 2, 3, and 8 were evaluated using four different techniques: multi-plexed microarray immunoassay, single-plexed IgE assay, SPT and immunoblot. Twenty-two peanut allergic adults and 15 children scored on clinical severity according to double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenges and 27 atopic control patients were included.
Comparable sensitivity values were found between all four techniques in adults, with the highest sensitivity for Ara h 2 (76.2–95.5%, compared to 100% with all techniques in children). The multi-plexed assay to Ara h 1 (93.3%) demonstrated a higher sensitivity compared with the other three techniques (P = 0.04) in children, but absolute values were perfectly correlated. There were no differences between adults and children. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of sIgE to Ara h 1 was higher with the multi-plexed assay compared with the single-plexed assay (0.91 vs. 0.75). In adults, sIgE to Ara h 1, 2, and 3 was correlated with clinical severity. No such correlation was found in children.
Conclusion and Clinical Relevance
In conclusion, the single- and multi-plexed assay, SPT and immunoblot perform equally in both peanut allergic adults and children, with Ara h 2 being most often recognized with all techniques. Specific IgE to Ara h 1, 2, and 3 in adults was correlated with severity.

Continuing on the Hibernate Search 4 rails, we have just released Hibernate Search 4.0.0 Alpha2. It's the usual lot of bug fixes but also contains some interesting new features made possible by the refactoring started in the 4 series.
Near Realtime Search
Traditionally Lucene has focused on tremendous Search performance, but writes to the index could be costly even for small changes (by triggering segment reorganization).
So far in Hibernate Search, every time the changes related to a transaction where applied to the index, a commit was needed on the index to make sure newly started Queries would see the new data.
Taking advantage of Lucene's new Near Realtime advancements, Hibernate Search can now search the uncommitted buffers which are still in memory, avoiding costly commits and let the IndexWriter flush periodically as it needs for optimal memory management. Note that Hibernate Search still makes sure that a Query will only see fully committed transactions (no dirty reads).
To experience this new writing performance yourself, a single configuration line is required. Is that not a good motivation to upgrade now?
There are a few limitations though:
- You cannot use it in a cluster using Hibernate Search's JMS or JGroups clustering approaches
- You cannot use it in a cluster using Infinispan but you don't need to anyways as Infinispan is in-memory
- Index changes are flushed periodically so updates might be lost in case of crashes - you will of course be able to recover the state by reindexing the database if that happens
To summarize near real time: it's much faster for writes, the index is less safe (crash might lose data), it cannot be used in a cluster
Pluggable IndexManager implementations
The Near Realtime IndexManager is the first alternative implementation to the default IndexManager of a series to come. You can now provide your own and plug any indexing backend ; you can override the whole design of how to interact with the Lucene index. Of course if you do, we would love to hear about it and even accept contributions :)
Long requested features
This has been a long requested feature, you can now use @IndexedEmbedded on collections of basic types
@Entity @Indexed class User { [...] @IndexedEmbedded @ElementCollection public Set<String> getNicknames() { return nicknames; } }
Another requested feature: you can use full-text queries with a Criteria query that will restrict your results (ie with a where clause) - only criteria queries redefining the fetching strategy were allowed before. However, in this particular case, query.getResultSize() is not supported (exception). You need to use query.list().size() instead.
Mixing full-text query and criteria restrictions is useful when you want to refine the query further based on data not present in the index. However, we do not recommend this approach, you are better off putting the necessary information in the full-text index.
There are a few additional interesting features including support for JGroups on IPv6 and a much improved serialization layer based on Avro. It's now faster than in Alpha1 and the sample payload is 6.6 times smaller than what it used to be in Hibernate Search 3.4.
Java 7 warning
Java 7 has a few bugs that have not been fixed at the time this blog hits the press. It is not safe to use it with Lucene and Hibernate Search. More info here.
Get the release
Check out the release and as usual, make sure you read the Migration guide when you upgrade from a previous version.
The community has been stellar. Special thanks to Davide D'Alto and Elmer van Chastelet for going through the laser scrutiny of our design and code review process :)

Any pointers on how to upgrade AS 7.0.1 to use Hibernate 4.0.0.CR2 with Search 4.0.0.Alpha2 as it currently ships with Hibernate 4.0.0.Beta5? The docs say that you can just include with your deployment for a native application, but what about JPA? |

The docs say that you can just include with your deployment for a native application, but what about JPA? you don't need to: Hibernate Search 4.0.0 Alpha2 works fine with Hibernate 4.0.0.Beta5. If you really want to use the latest, one option is to simply replace the Hibernate libraries found in AS 7 with the newer ones. |

I was using the Java 7 with my Lucene and the hibernate search. But as you said due to some bugs there were many warning messages. Can I implement the pluggable index manager on my own? Can you please help me?river bank and trust |

NEVADA Legislature is proposing sever cuts and changes to PERS please attend one of the hearing sites!
Nevada PERS is ranked "Best in Class" yet lawmakers want to dismantle it!
The "Hybrid Plan" bill, AB190, will be heard for the first time in Assembly Government Affairs – WE NEED YOU THERE
When: Tuesday March 3, 2015 at 8:00 a.m.
Where: Rm 4100 of the Legislative Building at 401S. Carson City
videoconference to Room 4401 of the Grant Sawyer State Office Building, 555 E. Washington Ave Las Vegas,
AB190 is a bad bill because;
-The hybrid plan being proposed does not help the State to save money without reducing benefits, estimated administrative cost alone is 745 million dollars;
-This bill will increase retirement insecurity for the young and the old alike;
-This bill will take us from a large pool of payers for a defined benefit to several small diversified pools with less power;
-The hybrid plan will represent huge benefit cut, the pension multiplier is reduced by 60%, the age for retirement is increased and a cap on annual benefits;
-This same Hybrid plan has failed in other States; Rhode Island had to cut employee benefits after it switched to a Hybrid plan;
-State has never paid into the Social Security system for State workers, theses lawmakers now want to further our retirement insecurity by helping Wall Street brokers gamble with our retirement.
Please attend one of these hearings! Questions call Priscilla Maloney at 775-544-7338 or Patrick Burke at 202-210-7989.

Mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) concentrations were determined in feathers of nestling and adult bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in the Great Lakes region, 1985–1989. Relationships between concentrations and two measures of reproduction, productivity and nesting success, were examined. Hg and Se were detected in all feathers analyzed. A maximum concentration of 66 mg/kg Hg was found in adult feathers in the upper peninsula of Michigan. The geometric means of Hg in adult feathers for sample areas were: interior lower peninsula of Michigan, 21 mg/kg; interior upper peninsula of Michigan, 21 mg/kg; Lake Superior, 22 mg/kg; Lakes Michigan and Huron, 20 mg/kg; and Lake Erie, 13 mg/kg. The geometric means of Hg in nestling feathers for sample areas were: interior lower peninsula of Michigan, 8.8 mg/kg; interior upper peninsula of Michigan, 8.1 mg/kg; Lake Superior, 8.7 mg/kg; Lakes Michigan and Huron, 8.0 mg/kg; Lake Erie, 3.7 mg/kg; and Voyageurs National Park, 20 mg/kg. Se concentrations were not significantly different across regions or between adult and nestling feathers, and Se concentrations ranged from 0.8 to 3.2 mg/kg.
No significant relationships between adult or nestling feather concentrations and either measure of reproduction, productivity or nesting success, was found for either Hg or Se. It was concluded that neither Hg nor Se concentrations are currently affecting bald eagle reproduction in the Great Lakes region.

A bill making sure Destination Medical Center's administrative costs don't end up on Rochester property taxpayers' bills in the future sailed through a House committee today.
Rep. Kim Norton, DFL-Rochester, is sponsoring a bill that would require any money spent on administrative costs related to DMC count towards the city's required $128 million match. That's significant because administrative costs related to the Destination Medical Center Corp. and the DMC's Economic Development Agency are projected to be $21 million over the next five years.
Norton told members of the House panel that the city of Rochester is already committed to spending $128 million on the $6 billion economic development initiative — more than city leaders had originally envisioned when the bill was proposed in 2013.
"It just is not fair to the citizens of Rochester, who already got a surprise of $128 million in additional taxation, to just keep adding to that," she said.
In 2013, the Minnesota Legislature approved a $585 million public subsidy package to pay for infrastructure upgrades associated with Mayo Clinic's planned $3.5 billion expansion known as Destination Medical Center.
Besides making sure Rochester gets credit towards its required local match for spending on administrative costs, the bill also gives the city additional options for paying those fees. It would enable city leaders to use funding options authorized under the DMC law to pay for those costs, including extending the city's half-cent sales tax or raising the sales tax by a quarter of a cent.
No one spoke out against the bill during the hearing. Rep. Peggy Scott, R-Andover, did question why this issue wasn't taken care of in the original legislation. Norton said initially the thought was that the privately-run EDA's budget would be funded primarily with private money, but it appears the city of Rochester will actually be funding a large portion of the EDA's budget.
Members of the House Job Growth and Energy Affordability Policy and Finance Committee approved Norton's bill on a voice vote. It now heads to the House Taxes Committee for a hearing. Sen. Dave Senjem, R-Rochester, is sponsoring a similar bill in the Senate.

Two high school freshmen students become reporters for the local newspaper and stumble across an old graveyard mystery.
Barnes & Noble.comAMAZON.COMBARNES AND NOBLECHRISTY DAVIS CHILDRENS BOOKS NEWSHOUNDS By Christy Davis Jadee has dreamed about becoming a reporter for as long as she can remember. Suddenly at the age of fourteen her dream job lands right in her lap. On one of her assignments for the local hometown newspaper, she and her co-reporter Scott stumble across an old graveyard mystery. In 1942 a fire had completely destroyed a home, taking the entire Bentley family with it. Seven headstones rest in the cemetery, but only six names were ever listed in the paper. Who was Melissa J? Between collecting pieces of this mystery and the everyday adventures of life, Jadee and Scott are determined to find out. For kids ages 8 and up! Paperback (6x9) ISBN # 9781418449940 $ 9.50 FREE PREVIEW OF NEWSHOUDS: Scott turned on the computer and opened the file dated 1942. He clicked on the one marked February and enlarged it so we could read it a little easier. I glanced through the articles until I found the obituaries. "Here it is," I whispered. "'Memorial services will be held for William A. Bentley and family on Thursday, February 15th at 10:00 a.m. at the Glendale Chapel. The family will be laid to rest at 11:00 a.m. in the Oak Memorial Cemetery. The family includes William A. 37, Matilda R. 34, and sons James D. 12, Luke R. 11, Richard P. 10, and one-daughter Cassie A. 8 years old. The family died in the fire that destroyed their two story home at 234 Juniper Rd. early Saturday morning around 1:00 a.m. There were no survivors or known relatives.'" I paused for a moment and a cold shiver ran down my spine. "I thought there were seven graves," Scott looked at me with a puzzled glance. I picked up my notebook and re-read the names again. "There are seven names but only six are listed in the newspaper. They missed one. This one… Melissa J." "Let's look at the front page, that's where the main story should be," Scott said. I scanned the computer screen and located the front page. "Okay, here it is. It says: "'Local family dies in fire. William A. Bentley, Matilda R. Bentley and their four children died early Saturday morning when their home burned to the ground. The fire started at the rear of the home and completely engulfed the house before the Glendale Fire Department arrived. Cause of the fire is still under investigation. The children's names are listed as James, Luke, Richard and Cassie.'" "There's no mention of a Melissa anywhere, that's weird." I couldn't help but think of my own family trapped in a fire and the thought terrified me. "I wonder who Melissa J. was," Scott said. "She has to be their daughter… I mean she's buried right next to them and she has the same last name." "Maybe they didn't realize there were five kids until after the story was printed." I said. Scott glanced up at the clock. "It's getting late, you'd better get going." He shut the computer down.

Pinot Noir is one of the planet's most widely grown and enjoyed grape varietals, and thanks to the popularity of the key wines it is associated with Burgundy and Champagne it has successfully spread from its native home in France to much of the wine producing world. Pinot Noir means 'black pine' in French, and this refers to the extremely dark, inky color of the fruit, and the fact that it grows in conical bunches, resembling a large pine cone. It has long been revered for its wide range of refreshing, summery flavors, and the fact that it produces red wines of a beautiful garnet color and light body. More recently, sparkling wines made exclusively with Pinot Noir have been extremely popular, and the orchard notes found in the fizzy 'blanc des noirs' wines mark out just how versatile this grape varietal really is. Despite being notoriously difficult to grow, it isn't hard to see why this grape is now found in vineyards all over the world, as it is synonymous with romance and decadence, quality and fantastic flavor
To get some idea of how well established many of the wineries in New York state are, one only has to look to certain locations around the Hudson River area of the region, where there are several wineries which have vineyards dating back over three hundred years. This relatively long tradition of wine-making for a New World country has resulted in some truly exceptional wines, making the most of the imported grape varietals which thrive in the cooler, damper climatic conditions which characterize the state. New York today produces a wide range of wine styles, but is mostly known for its white wines made from such esteemed varietals as Riesling and Pinot Noir, and a few superb sparkling wines which demonstrate the strengths of the Chardonnay grapes grown there.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
