Early morning construction bothers reader
Issue: A reader wants to know what the noise ordinance is for businesses. According to the reader the new Alterra site starts construction at 7 a.m. most mornings, including Saturdays. She wants to know if this is allowed.
Status: Fred Knapp, building inspector, said construction is allowed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day but Sunday.
The city rarely receives complaints about these construction hours, and he has not received any complaints about this particular project, he said.

Archery Summit Premier Cuvee Pinot Noir 2012
Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon
Winemaker's Notes
An expansive array of fragrances arise from the glass of this aromatically complex Pinot Noir. This bottling beautifully expresses the superior quality of the Willamette Valley's stellar 2012 vintage. A mixture of blackberries, star anise, cinnamon stick and rose petals on the nose suggest a wine that's ripe, lush and layered. Upon entry, the palate supports this impression with plush, dark fruit flavors and a fine, silky dusting of milk chocolate. The wine finishes elegantly with a real sense of opulence and finesse.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Deep ruby. Cherry-cola, blackberry, licorice and a subtle note of woodsmoke on the fragrant nose. On the palate, pliant dark berry and spicecake flavors gain sweetness and weight with air, picking up a floral nuance along the way. Closes spicy, focused and very long, with supple tannins adding shape"
Archery Summit Winery
Since its inception in 1993, Archery Summit has been devoted to crafting exceptional Pinot Noir from its 120 acres across five estate vineyards. Inspired by the remarkable growing conditions provided by the Willamette Valley, Archery Summit approaches each step of the winemaking process with particular thoughtfulness and care. This rich tradition has driven an international reputation that is among the finest of new world Pinot Noir. The Archery Summit portfolio is comprised of Archery Summit Estate, Arcus Estate, which are located in the Dundee Hills AVA and Looney Vineyard, located in the Ribbon Ridge AVA as well as their proprietary blend, Premier Cuvee.

About Willamette ValleyView a map of Willamette Valley wineries (will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley are are number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.
About OregonOregon has long been an agricultural state, producing everything from hazelnuts to cattle. The Willamette Valley in particular is a fertile basin for all sorts of produce. Not quite pegged as a wine state, in 1965, a UC Davis graduate named David Lett decided that the Willamette's climate mirrored that of Burgundy in France. With that in mind, he decided to plant some Pinot Noir clones to see how they did. And a good gamble it was. The Willamette is now one of the only regions in the world to focus solely on Pinot Noir as its red variety. Also known for Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The southern part of Oregon has been slower in delving into the world wine market, but has been making excellent strides with their Rhone style varietals, like Syrah and Grenache. There are also coastal regions producing promising wines.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody?
Okay. Bent over. Hands on knees. Breathing hard. Whew. Made it. "Pant. Pant." For a while there, didn't seem like it'd ever happen, but somehow we mercifully staggered across the annum finish line, finally placing 2012 irrevocably in the rear-view mirror. Make no mistake, the political climate is still volatile. Rash. Mad. Loud. Pulsating forehead vein above arcing spray of spittle loud. And the double-crossing chicanery hasn't mellowed a bit of a spot of an iota from the fever pitch of last year's quadrennial heights.
This week's Chamber of Commerce Coffee will be hosted by Wheatland Electric, 2300 Broadway, at 9:30 a.m., Thursday. Ambassador in charge will be AJ Chrest with greeters Jan Westfall and Julie Smith. Coffee, doughnuts and door prizes will be available.

The primary arc of the movie is very well done. It manages to keep enough hidden to be suspenseful while also not feeling like totally random events are just happening for no reason. The ending sequence is a great way to spend a lot of money on special effects, but plot-wise it doesn't make much sense.

Capitol Forest WA

Had some fun at Capitol Forest just south of Olympia in WA. Thought I would post some pics. Make sure to bring a map and gps if you head out here... Its easy to get lost in this area.
Nice! Any ground clearance issues on those trails or are they friendly to stock jeeps?
All the main lines are well kept gravel and pretty much any car can run them. From the mains you can branch out on to easy or difficult 4x4ing. Lots of fun for stock or built 4x4s.
Hey I live in Olympia and I am looking for jeep friends! are any of you guys down to have a jeep party to the peak?

The amenities and the massage!
The amenities were great and the massage was relaxing as well. Also everyone was really nice and made me and my husband feel welcomed :) we will definitely be returning.

Nice that spa lead out to the pool.
Massage was not good... masseuse was just kind of lazy... that's the best way I can describe it. I could hear loud casino announcements during my massage.

We're just a little bit past the halfway mark for heading back to school. On Wednesday, I got emails from the school confirming my room assignment, meal plan, and listing move in dates. I actually get to move in a few days before the regularly scheduled date because my sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma, gets together in the days before school to start working on formal recruitment, which happens a few weeks into school.
Dear Yoties -- Boise may not have the art scene of LA, New York, or Paris. But that's not to say we're an artistic desert. If you want evidence that Boise's sense of culture is alive and well, all you need to do is head downtown on the first Thursday of each month.
So, last month I probably had the one of the most defining trips that I've ever been on. About three years ago, at the end of my freshman year, it was drawing close to finals and I was sitting in HIS-210 (Modern East Asia) taught by Professor Jeff Snyder-Reinke. We'd moved through most of the topics that were on the syllabus and on this day Dr. Snyder was showing us a slideshow. The pictures he showed us were captured two years earlier in the western provinces of China. These weren't stills commissioned for research purposes though.
Hey Yoties,
Last week, my family and I packed up the car and headed west for a family vacation. We drove to the Oregon coast, passing good old Caldwell in route. Considering how vast the U.S. is Idaho—or at least the Treasure Valley—is located far enough away from the coast to make a road trip feasible, but still tiring. This time around, we actually drove down the length of the Oregon coast to the very southern end of Oregon so that we could make forays into Northern California's redwood forests.
So campus is pretty empty these days. It is supposed to be so, school is over. However, there are still a few hardcore college students who soldier on and continue living in Caldwell during the break. Now, farming is lonely work, with only the plants keeping you company. So after almost a month and a half of keeping to myself, and petting rabbits and stealing the eggs my chickens lay, I decided that I would finish my self imposed exile of sorts.
Well. I made it. It's almost been four years since I unboxed all my stuff on the first floor of Hayman.
It's really not something I've thought about until this week. Being a student, I sometimes just get caught up living semester to semester. But now it's really hit me that I'm down to only two. I'm a procrastinator by nature, so actually being forced to sit down and ask "where am I going to be this time next year?" is a pretty daunting question that I'll have to answer soon. But that can wait.
Although I live on campus during the school year, in the summer I still call Boise home. Luckily, most of my friends are also from the Treasure Valley, and they stick around for the summer. On Saturday, I met up with three of my C of I friends to stroll through Boise's Saturday Market and to see a circus parade complete with two elephants.
So recently in my trips around campus, I came across the news that we are getting a sizable amount of international students for this coming year. On talking to our Dean of Enrollment, Brian, (Actually, I am going to go on a tangent here, but I love the fact that I can just walk unannounced into the offices of anyone while they are around. The small college atmosphere is refreshing after going to schools with systems more rigid then the doors of Fort Knox.
In my last post, I mentioned that I write for C of I's student newspaper, The Coyote. Our Editor in Chief, Danielle Blenker, landed a summer internship in Boston with Charlesbridge Publishing. And it just so happens that she's chronicling it via her own blog, defyinggravityboston.blogspot.com. Check it out—you already know she has to be a good writer.
-Megan Mizuta
NOTE: Danielle took this photo of some of the books she read in preparation for her internship.
I'm Megan Mizuta, and I'm yours for the next year. That is, I'll be one of your student bloggers for the upcoming school year—here to connect you with the C of I community and its goings-on.

Individualization of antiretroviral therapy
Authors Pavlos R, Phillips EJ
Published Date December 2011 Volume 2012:5 Pages 1—17

Abstract: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has evolved considerably over the last three decades. From the early days of monotherapy with high toxicities and pill burdens, through to larger pill burdens and more potent combination therapies, and finally, from 2005 and beyond where we now have the choice of low pill burdens and once-daily therapies. More convenient and less toxic regimens are also becoming available, even in resource-poor settings. An understanding of the individual variation in response to ART, both efficacy and toxicity, has evolved over this time. The strong association of the major histocompatibility class I allele HLA-B*5701 and abacavir hypersensitivity, and its translation and use in routine HIV clinical practice as a predictive marker with 100% negative predictive value, has been a success story and a notable example of the challenges and triumphs in bringing pharmacogenetics to the clinic. In real clinical practice, however, it is going to be the exception rather than the rule that individual biomarkers will definitively guide patient therapy. The need for individualized approaches to ART has been further increased by the importance of non-AIDS comorbidities in HIV clinical practice. In the future, the ideal utilization of the individualized approach to ART will likely consist of a combined approach using a combination of knowledge of drug, virus, and host (pharmacogenetic and pharmacoecologic [factors in the individual's environment that may be dynamic over time]) information to guide the truly personalized prescription. This review will focus on our knowledge of the pharmacogenetics of the efficacy and toxicity of currently available antiretroviral agents and the current and potential utility of such information and approaches in present and future HIV clinical care.

One point of perspective on the repeal petitions
Here's the Chron story about the HERO-haters turning in their repeal petitions.

Petition deadline coming
Scott Braddock takes a look at the petition effort to repeal the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, which must turn in its homework this week.

Vehicles for hire vote put off till the end of July
Seriously? The Houston City Council delayed a vote until July 30 on regulations for the vehicles-for-hire industry, keeping Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc.'s legal status in Houston in limbo. Council member Mike Laster proposed an initial delay of 60 days, saying, "I believe this cake is not fully baked." The delay was then reduced […] [Read More]
Who stands with Jared?
I noted yesterday that soon-to-be-former Harris County GOP Chair Jared Woodfill is busy trying to gather petition signatures to repeal the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance. Here's the beginning of his pitch: I want to thank all of you who stood against Mayor Parker's Sexual Predator Protection Act. The battle to repeal this ordinance has begun. […] [Read More]
And we circle back to Uber and Lyft
Took longer than we thought it would, but on we move to the next contentious debate. Companies that connect riders with drivers via smartphone and tablet applications could operate legally in Houston, subject to certain conditions, under a proposal to be considered Wednesday by the City Council. The suggested changes to Houston's taxi and limousine […] [Read More]

HERO passes
Finally. After nearly nine hours of chanting and tears from seas of opponents and supporters in color-coded T-shirts, Houston City Council passed an ordinance on Wednesday extending equal rights protections to gay and transgender residents. Despite weeks of discussion and dissent over the measure, the final vote was 11-6, a count that matched guesses made […] [Read More]
Recall effort against Mayor Parker?
The haters huff and puff with their last breath. Opponents of Mayor Annise Parker's proposed Houston equal rights ordinance have vowed to take the issue to voters in a referendum, but now they're seriously discussing a sort of nuclear option at the polling place: a recall election to remove her and some council members from […] [Read More]

Take your descending and climbing to the next level with Pivot's shred-ready Mach 5.7 Carbon. When you're stomping the pedals up a steep grade, you appreciate the low weight of the carbon frame and the ruthlessly efficient power transfer and traction of the dw-link rear suspension. Once you get to the top and point it downhill, the 5.7 really shines. Its 5.7-inches of plush Fox travel, tapered head tube, 142x12mm rear through-axle, and dialed geometry combine to slice and dice corners and sail confidently down the rowdiest tech sections. Up front, a 150mm Fox 34 fork gives you point-and-go steering precision and silky travel. This build is brilliant with tubeless DT Swiss wheels, a carbon bar, and the super light 1x11 XX1 drivetrain with carbon Magura brakes.

I have worked in patent law for several years. In that time, I have never encountered any patents that I would consider to claim the same invention. The patent office is split up into technology units, and the main thing they do when examining an application is look for similar patents (or earlier pending applications) which would anticipate the application. They also look more generally at other sources (books, journals, web sites, foreign patents, etc.) If they find anything that discloses the claimed invention, or can find a combination of prior art that would be obvious, they will reject your application. You then have to narrow your claims or give up.
Note that I said "claim" - the claims are the only part of the patent that has legal weight. The specification (the bulk of a patent) and the title of patents will often include similar subject matter as other patents, but this doesn't matter - it is only what is claimed that can be enforced against others.
Is it possible that some patents claim essentially the same invention? Sure, this has probably happened before, but I would think this would have to be the result of a completely incompetent examiner.
If I had to take a completely wild guess, the chance that a given patent has a single duplicate has to be on the order of 1/10,000, probably less. If I am anywhere near right, the likelihood of that the claims of the photo patent in the NPR story are duplicated by 5000 patents has to be infinitely small.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Against the grain
A few Manitoba ranchers are breeding cattle back to their natural, grass-fed state. Here's why
A decade ago, when BSE devastated cattle economics in Canada, the Bouw family had a collective epiphany.
The Bouws are cattle farmers. They raised cattle and ran a feedlot on which they fed the decades-old conventional diet of barley and corn to other people's cattle to raise them to slaughter weight.
A grain diet speeds weight gain so cattle get to market faster. It also produces larger animals. But cows are ruminants with four stomachs designed to digest grass, not grain. A rich grain diet causes cattle to contract diarrhea, and for some it becomes a chronic condition. The cattle also suffer acidosis, a very bad form of acid reflux.
To prevent cattle catching disease in this compromised state, and because feedlots keep cattle in close quarters where a disease can spread quickly and result in financial ruin, cows are fed antibiotics mixed into their feed as soon as they arrive as a preemptive strike.
But studies have begun showing those antibiotics can transfer to humans eating cooked meat. The fear is human overexposure to antibiotics could lead to resistant strains of bacteria. The United States Department of Agriculture recently recommended feedlots cut down their use of antibiotics.
The BSE crisis -- the discovery of a single cow with mad cow disease in 2003 that made Canadian beef a pariah internationally for a time -- caused a huge reassessment within the Bouw family. Family members saw themselves as addicts -- addicted to throwing money at big agriculture for an endless supply of feed supplements, antibiotics and growth hormones. The way to kick the habit was standing right in front of them, and under them, and all around them: grass. Just grass.
Today, Bouw brothers Jonathan and Stefan, along with parents Herman and Marilyn, don't just raise grass-fed beef on their farm near Anola, about 25 kilometres east of Winnipeg. They are re-breeding the cattle to get them back to their natural, grass-fed genetics so other ranchers can raise them. They are at the epicentre of the grass-fed beef movement.
"I read The Silent Spring in the '60s (the groundbreaking book by Rachel Carson about environmental impacts from pesticides)," said Marilyn, directing her comments toward her two sons. "You didn't know, it but those things were being bred into you."
How did farmers come to start feeding grain to their cattle? The practice took over in the 1950s thanks largely to developments in synthetic fertilizers, Jonathan said. The fertilizers increased grain yields exponentially, so feedlots were invented to take the extra grain and feed it to cattle. About 50 per cent of a cow's diet today is grain once it reaches the feedlot, he said.
The advantage to feeding grain, along with using growth hormones, is a huge one: efficiency. The cattle virtually explode in weight. You can get a calf to market in as little as 12 months on grain, versus 24 months for a grass-fed animal, said Jonathan. That's an extraordinary difference and it explains why the industry opted for grain diets so completely. Grain also allows animals to get up to 40 per cent bigger -- to about 1,500 pounds before slaughter, versus about 1,100 pounds for grass-fed cattle. "Grain was a game changer," Jonathan said.
But reversing those genetics, as the Bouws do, is complicated. You can't just take a calf and raise it on grass and expect positive results.
"The meat tastes like shoe leather," Jonathan said.
What you have to do is reverse half a century of cattle breeding because grain has changed the whole skeletal frame of today's beef cows.
To fatten animals faster with grain, breeders selected bigger-framed cattle with each passing generation, because those animals could put on more pounds per day. (They put on about five pounds a day on a grain diet in feedlots.) The genetics of animals with larger skeletons were the most prized and their genetics were carried on.
But an exclusively grass diet cannot support the larger frames of today's cattle. With grass, you're going back to breeding smaller cows that can support their bodies naturally.
It takes about four generations of feeding cattle on straight grass to obtain smaller, good-tasting beef cattle. That's where the Bouw family's grass-fed bulls come in. With their bulls, a farmer can produce that grass-fed beef in two generations. The Bouws sell about 30 grass-fed bulls per year for breeding from their line of cattle called Edie Creek Angus. They have been breeding their bulls since 2005.
What grass-fed beef lacks in efficiency, it may make up in health. "The health benefits are really quite striking," said Martin Entz, a professor of natural systems agriculture at the University of Manitoba.
It's the old saw about bad fat, Omega 6, versus good fat, Omega 3. The object in a healthy human diet is to get those fats in balance. "You've probably heard that wild game is really healthy for you... In venison, the ratio is 1:1 (Omega 6 vs Omega 3). We evolved as a species eating 1:1 ratios," said Entz.
But a typical human diet today has an 8:1 ratio. "That's why we're getting so much heart disease. We like to eat fat," said Entz. Grain-fed beef has about a 6:1 ratio, whereas grass-fed beef has just a 2:1 ratio.
Grass-fed beef also has elevated levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), another agent in the fight against heart attacks. Grass-fed beef is also high in cancer-fighting anti-oxidant selenium and Vitamins A and E.
As for the taste, proponents claim grass-fed beef is more tender and flavourful. The meat of an older cow just naturally takes on more flavour, as if marinated longer, Jonathan said.
Finally, grass-fed cattle are happier because they don't live in confinement on a feedlot. "They're out on nice green pastures and loving life," said Stefan, the other Bouw son.
Cam Dahl, general manager of the Manitoba Beef Producers Association, has heard it all before. He has no problem with cattle producers trying to find a niche market with grass-fed livestock. What he tires of is "this (theme) that how we did things 50 or 60 years ago was so much better than today... That just isn't true."
Dahl said science doesn't back up claims cow health is compromised by a grain diet. As well, the source of antibiotic resistance has been found to be hospitals themselves, he said, citing a recent study by the Centers For Disease Control in Atlanta, Ga. Neither are the antibiotics used for animals the same as those used for humans.
"If you look at the science, food-borne illness is continually declining, and production practises across agriculture are leaving a smaller environmental footprint," Dahl said.
The Bouws don't blame other ranchers for finishing their calves on diets of grain. Those farmers are responding to market signals. What the Bouws are trying to do is demonstrate grass-fed beef is economically viable, too.
Jonathan argues the economics of grass-fed cattle aren't bad once all the bills are tallied. For example, hay to feed grass-fed cattle through the winter is half the price of feed grain right now.
Yes, grain gets a calf to market much faster, but it also requires that the producer start buying such things as feed supplements, growth hormones and antibiotics.
Contrast that to the miracle of converting a mostly useless product like grass, which humans can't consume and has virtually no food value, into a high-protein food: steak, roast, ribs, hamburger, sausage, stew.
Growth in the grass-fed food sector has some legs, said Entz. "Grass-fed is huge in Europe. That extends into dairy products. For example, milk from pastured dairy animals is promoted as healthier for children.
There are about a dozen grass-fed beef ranchers in Manitoba today.
But they are all fairly small producers. They might market 10 to 20 heifers a year. Combined, that may total about 200 head annually, nearly all marketed directly to consumers. Compare that with the rest of Manitoba ranchers who sell about half a million cattle per year.

Accounting Roundtable Energizes Students
On Thursday, February 20, over 70 local college students attended the first St. John Fisher College Accounting Roundtable, featuring representatives from both the public and private accounting industries. The roundtable focused on careers in taxation.
The public firms represented were EFP Rotenburg, Insero & Company, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), and The Bonadio Group. Representatives from the firms included experience levels from associates to partners. Kodak Alaris' Chief Tax Officer, Diane Gardner, represented tax career alternatives that exist within private industry. Fisher students were joined by students from SUNY Brockport, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), and the University of Rochester.
The roundtable included 40 minutes of submitted questions from students in Fisher's tax classes and approximately 15 minutes of questions submitted from the floor. The last 30 minutes of the roundtable consisted of networking between the students and the roundtable participants. Professor Lynn Mucenski-Keck served as the event's emcee.
"The goal of the roundtable was not to discuss tax technical issues, but expose accounting students to what a tax career entails, as well as opportunities that can develop when a tax career is chosen. It is a goal to have additional roundtables in the future so that students can learn more about differing career paths within accounting," said Mucenski-Keck.
Phillip Gelsomino, a tax professor at RIT, said his students really benefitted from the event.
"Our students were amazed at the passion each panelist has for the tax profession, and I believe that showed in our students' questions for the panel," said Gelsomino. "Our students spent a great deal of time talking with the PwC representatives afterwards. I know they are very excited about their educational choice, and tonight's roundtable gave them reassurance that they are headed in the right direction."
"It is difficult for students to decide which would be their best fit for jobs and internships without having any experience or knowledge of the audit or tax field, so I thought the event was great for accounting students. As someone who is very interested in going into tax, it was nice to hear the panel discuss their typical days and what it is actually like to be tax accountants," said Accounting major Michelle Jennejohn '15.

I recently started teaching a graduate-level arts marketing course. When I was first handed the materials from the last time the course was offered, I immediately began sorting through to determine what would be useful to students learning the basics of arts marketing.
Something was missing, though. The only time the previous class had addressed money was toward the end of the course to discuss budgeting.
While managing a budget is an important skill, the role of revenue is a much larger part of an arts marketer's job.
The way I see it, an arts marketer has two basic objectives:
