McCrory administration launches workforce development plan
Gov. Pat McCrory and Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker announced the launch of a new workforce development initiative at a Caterpillar facility in Sanford Monday.
The initiative, NCWorks, is a portal designed to connect businesses in the state with the employees they are seeking. Will Collins will be executive director of NCWorks, a position that is designed to better coordinate the needs of employers with community colleges in the state.
The NCWorks plan is expected to be developed over the next 12 months. In a press release, the McCrory administration said the aim is to get a flow of timely data from industry to learn what workforce training programs are most effective.
A spokesman for the governor wasn't able to immediately say how much is being spent on the initiative.
Also in attendance at Monday's event in Sanford were Scott Ralls, president of the North Carolina Community College System, and Korey Coon, human resources manager at Caterpillar and chair of the state's Commission on Workforce Development.
Caterpillar employs several thousand workers in North Carolina at a half-dozen locations, including sites in Clayton and Winston-Salem.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: MEN'S ROUNDUP; Before a Difficult Stretch, Rutgers Capitalizes
Published: January 28, 2002
Rutgers now has more victories than it had all of last season, while West Virginia has tied a school record for most consecutive losses.
The freshman Ricky Shields scored 20 points and Rashod Kent had 19 points and 12 rebounds yesterday to lead Rutgers past host West Virginia, 77-59, sending the Mountaineers to their ninth straight defeat.
The losing streak for West Virginia (7-11 over all, 0-6 Big East) matches the record from the 1936-37 season.
''I was very disappointed in our performance,'' said West Virginia Coach Gale Catlett. ''I thought it was a very important game for us and we had great difficulty making shots.''
Rutgers (12-7, 3-4), which earlier this season put together eight straight victories, has turned things around under its first-year coach, Gary Waters.
''We really wanted to come in here and prove we could hang on the road,'' Waters said. ''People will find that Rutgers is here, and will be right in the mix of things once the season is nearing its end.''
Shields had heard comments that the Scarlet Knights could not beat a quality foe on the road. While yesterday's victory was not unexpected, it could boost the team heading into its toughest stretch of the season.
''We say we want to win and we are going to do this or that,'' Shields said. ''But it was getting to the point that talk was cheap. It was time to do something.''
They did. Rutgers had won just one Big East road game over the past year and a half, and its previous nine conference road victories were by a combined 45 points.
The Scarlet Knights, who have not lost more than two straight all season, now have home games Wednesday and Saturday against No. 25 Connecticut and No. 12 Syracuse and a road contest on Feb. 6 at Notre Dame.
''That will really tell us what we have,'' Shields said. ''It's the time of year when we have to play and stop the talk.''
NORTH CAROLINA 87, CLEMSON 69: It was a different locker room scene for North Carolina -- a happy one.
''We haven't felt like this in you all know how long,'' forward Jason Capel said after the Tar Heels broke their longest losing streak in 41 seasons with a victory over host Clemson.
Adam Boone had career highs with 23 points and 10 rebounds as North Carolina (6-11, 2-5 Atlantic Coast Conference), which had lost six in a row, won for the first time in 2002.
''It's relief, it's joy, it's pride,'' said Tar Heels Coach Matt Doherty, the lightning rod for his team's poor season. ''I think there's a lot of emotions that go into it. I can't tell you how proud I am of these guys. A lot of kids would've folded their tent and packed it in. They didn't.''
Boone, a sophomore, surpassed his previous high of 13 points, set last month against North Carolina A&T, in the first half alone with 15 points. He and his backcourtmate, Melvin Scott, kept the pressure on in the second half and North Carolina ended its longest slide since losing eight consecutive games in 1950-51.
Clemson (11-10, 2-6) thought it had a chance to end its four-game losing streak, but this one ended like so many others for the Tigers -- getting run down by the Tar Heels.
North Carolina is 110-17 all-time against Clemson.
Boone got things going with three consecutive 3-pointers as North Carolina broke to a 17-8 lead.
''We know we've been improving every game, every practice, every day,'' Boone said. ''Hopefully, this is something that can give us confidence, beating a good team on their home court.''

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2015 Miken Ultra 750X Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: ULTXMU? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
I was always under the impression that shorter barrels like 12" are better for power hitters as it enables more bat whip. Am I mistaken and would this bat with a 14.5" barrel be an optimal choice for a long ball hitter?
A shorter barrel length can help concentrate energy transferred into the ball on contact and create a bit more momentum with all of that weight away from the hands. You will find that many bats with a full end load will also have the shorter, 12" barrel length. But there are some bats that are great for power hitters that have a full ounce end load and long sweet spot (Miken Psycho SuperMax and Worth SICK Resmondo). Ultimately, it all comes down to preference. You can still generate quite a bit of power with a bat like this 2015 Miken Ultra 750X Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (ULTXMU), even with the longer barrel and just a half ounce end load.
Is this bat good with core .44 softballs?
The 2015 Miken Ultra 750X Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (ULTXMU) would be better versus the .52 core balls. The bat may be more easily damaged if hit versus the .44 core balls. They are harder balls.
What weight is the end load? Is it 1 oz, .5oz or 1.5oz, etc?
The 2015 Miken Ultra 750X Maxload USSSA (ULTXMU) will have a 0.5 oz. end load.
Product Description
If there's a Miken softball bat that everyone has heard of, it's the Miken Ultra. The newest Ultra to join the Miken slow pitch softball bat family is the Ultra 750X Maxload USSSA! This bat reigns supreme above the competition. Featuring an end-loaded, one-piece fully composite construction, the Ultra 750X Maxload is designed with optimal barrel flex to give players out-of-the-park performance and the durability to stand up to grueling play. This is due in part to where the bat gets its name: Miken's 750X HPI Technology. This groundbreaking technology takes Miken's premium aerospace grade carbon fiber to the next level. Injected with high-strength epoxy under intense pressure, the resulting composite truly changes the game with its high level of performance and durability! This also gives the Ultra 750X Maxload the honor of being 100 COMP Certfied! Plus, this new Ultra slow pitch softball bat is made in the U.S.A.! Miken: Don't Play. DOMINATE!

A new website called, appropriately, Lawyer/Nonprofit Connect was launched recently. The site is designed to enable nonprofit organizations to easily find interested lawyers to serve on their boards, and conversely, lawyers to easily find nonprofit boards on which to serve. According to the site, "Typically, nonprofit executives reach out to the people in their business or social networks for a board referral or recommendation. Their reach is only as far as their network. Lawyer | Nonprofit Connect broadens that network to find those lawyers interested and willing to serve on a board in their area of service. Lawyer | Nonprofit Connect also removes obstacles for busy lawyers. Nonprofits are able to search for lawyers with similar interests and with the skills most needed by the organization. Lawyers are able to search for nonprofits with open board seats that are involved in areas that excite them. Lawyer | Nonprofit Connect brings the two together and gives them the opportunity to connect with each other."

Access to Justice programs
An interesting v recently discusses how courtroom innovations in New York and elsewhereare helping self-represented litigants navigate the legal waters. One example is an initiative in New York, begun by Justice Fern Fisher, called the Court Navigator Program. It helps unrepresented litigants in New York City navigate the legal areas of consumer debt and housing; there are plans to expand the program into family court and uncontested divorces. An evaluation beginning this summer will help to quantify the success of navigators, but Fisher said the anecdotal results are "very good." "There are more defences being raised," she said. "Our litigants clearly have a better feel about their experience in court."

Proposal to make all .gov sites secure HTTP
Federal News Radio reports that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of the United States has proposed a plan to make HTTPS the standard for all .gov websites. "The majority of Federal websites use HTTP as the primary protocol to communicate over the public internet," says the plan, which also states that HTTP "create a privacy vulnerability and expose potentially sensitive information about users of unencrypted Federal websites and services." The plan goes on to say that "HTTPS verifies the identity of a website or Web service for a connecting client, and encrypts nearly all information sent between the website or service and the user. Protected information includes cookies, user agent details, URL paths, form submissions, and query string parameters. HTTPS is designed to prevent this information from being read or changed while in transit."
The OMB is asking for feedback and suggestions for this proposal and technical assistance materials. They add that you may email email@example.com to provide private comments.

News on the Georgia State copyright case
Publisher's Weekly reports that the lawyers for Georgia State University have filed a brief opposing reopening the record of the high-profile e-reserves copyright case that pitted GSU against several academic publishers (Cambridge University Press, et al. v. Patton et al.,). GSU argues that the previous trial record "was fully developed at trial and is complete," and that reopening the record would "unduly burden" the court and defendants. PW reports that "In 2012, Judge Evans ruled against the publishers, finding infringement on just five of 99 claims. But late last year, the case was remanded by the Eleventh Circuit with instructions for Evans to re-balance her four factor fair use analysis. The publishers say new evidence is needed if Evans is to fashion an appropriate injunction following the remand. But the publishers also appear to be angling for "a second bite at the apple," says Brandon Butler, practitioner in residence at the American University Washington College of Law, telling PW that re-opening the record would essentially mean "a whole new trial." And that matters because the publishers may have botched their first shot. Of the 99 counts of alleged infringement presented for the first trial in 2010, only 48 actually got to a fair use analysis, as many were knocked out by technicalities and record-keeping issues. And for 33 of the works in question, digital licenses were not available at the time, a fact that weighed heavily against infringement in Evans' fair use analysis, but would almost certainly not be the case today."

Pitt Law's first MOOC
Pitt Law has announced that the law school is offering its first free online course (MOOC), called Epidemics, Pandemics, and Outbreaks, which teaches the basic facts about infectious diseases like measles and Ebola—what they are, how they're transmitted, and what determines whether or not there will be an epidemic. This four-week class begins March 16, 2015. Course participants will learn about the laws and policies that enable us to fight infectious diseases—everything from quarantines to vaccinations to bioterrorism defense. The class is taught by Pitt Law faculty members Elena Baylis, a U.S. law and policy expert, and Elizabeth F. Bjerke, who specializes in the public health system with respect to emergency preparedness and response, along with infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, senior associate at the UPMC Center For Health Security, and Ryan Morhard, currently with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Friday Fun: the blue/black white/gold dress
The big news this week has been, of course, the great internet furor over whether a certain dress is blue and black or white and gold. If you have any science geek leanings you will certainly enjoy Wired magazine's explanation of WHY people can see the same dress so differently; the article is titled "The Science of Why No One Agrees on the Color of This Dress".
ps It's blue and black. But it created such a sensation that the manufacturer is going to make a white and gold version, and is auctioning it off on eBay (custom tailored to the winner) with proceeds going to charity.

Worldcat search tip
This little tip arrived via the govdocs listserv that members of the American Library Assn.'s government documents group uses.
When you are searching Worldcat, if you are looking for government documents on a topic, here's what to do: add the letters "ngp" to find national materials, or "sgp" to find state materials. So, for example, if you use the basic Worldcat searchbox and type "ebola sgp" you will find state-level government documents about the ebola virus outbreak.

Assessment of MOOCs as "the hype fades"
The Chronicle of Education Wired Campus blog has an interesting article titled "The MOOC hype fades, in 3 Charts". The author discusses how the popularity of MOOCs - Massive Open Online Courses - has leveled off, and how MOOCs don't seem to be a sustainable tool for universities. He says that "Those findings may not come as much of a surprise. The MOOC hype has been flagging since mid-2013, when it started becoming clear that this particular breed of online course would not transform the economics of mainstream higher education. The conventional wisdom now is that free online courses offer a promising recruiting tool and an interesting (but not essential) research tool for colleges that can afford the upkeep, while also nudging more-conservative institutions to finally start integrating online coursework into the curriculum."

How copyright law controls your digital life
The Consumerist blog has a post that discusses the theme of Cory Doctorow's (BoingBoing) new book, Information Doesn't Want to Be Free. The author says: "what most of us don't really think about is how broad the net of copyright law really is... Realistically, here in 2015, copyright law is a far cry from the original question of who has the right to copy a work. Now, copyright law is so much bigger. The tendrils of copyright law reach worldwide into almost everything we consume, do, and are in the digital era. The rules and regulations about how the internet works, what privacy rights you have, and how the entire digital economy functions all spring from copyright." It's an interesting read.

Font for dyslexia
There's an interesting article about a font that has been developed by a person with dyslexia that makes reading easier for people who are dyslexic. The typeface is called "Dyslexie," and was developed as a thesis project by a student at the Utrecht Art Academy in the Netherlands. The font makes reading easier for people with dyslexia by varying the letter shapes more, making it harder to confuse similarly shaped letters like "b" and "d," for example. The font is free at https://www.dyslexiefont.com/en/dyslexia-font.
FDLP webinar on consumer stats
FDLP is planning a webinar titled Buying Stuff: Comparing Personal Consumption Expenditures Data from the BLA and BEA at 2:00 p.m. on February 26. The webinar will focus on personal consumption data: the goods and services that Americans buy; about 2/3rds of spending in our nation is for goods and services. The goods we buy are our material possessions: either durable goods that have a shelf-life of 3 years or longer, or nondurable goods that last less than 3 years. The services we buy are such transactions as paying a company to compute your taxes or hiring someone to mow your lawn. Two federal agencies compute this data, the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Because of different survey methodologies their data for the same goods and services can be wildly different. The webinar will look at how to work with their websites to get this data. You can register here.

ABA Journal on drones
The ABA Journal has an interesting article titled "How should states regulate drones and aerial surveillance?" in which the author reviews federal and state regulation - or non-regulation - of drones used as "aerial surveillance".< According to the article, According to the National Conference of State Legislators, more than 20 states have passed laws related to drones. Some limit law enforcement's use of drones or other unmanned aircraft. One question that may arise from drone regulation is the difference between state and federal privacy protection. For example, the New Mexico Court of Appeals interpreted the state constitution as more protective of privacy than the U.S. Constitution. According to John Whitehead, president of a Charlottesville, Virginia-based nonprofit legal group called the Rutherford Institute, "Technology has outpaced law in this area. Traditional search warrants won't work with drones. They have the ability to hack into Wi-Fi and use scanning devices from airspace. They represent the essence of a surveillance-police state."

Smithsonian offers access to Selma Freedom March songs
Carl Benkert was a successful architectural interior designer from Detroit who had come down South in 1965 with a group of local clergy to take part and bear witness to the historic march for voting rights from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. In addition to his camera, he brought a bulky, battery-operated reel-to-reel tape recorder to capture the history all around him, in speech but also in song; songs of hope, defiance and unity were directly captured and documented. In their struggles to make a stand against inequality, Benkert wrote, "music was an essential element; music in song expressing hope and sorrow; music to pacify or excite; music with the power to engage the intelligence and even touch the spirit."
The Smithsonian offers free access to the sound recordings of the music of the freedom march. Note that a Spotify account is needed, but there is no charge to listen to the recordings.

Gender gap in online class discussions
The Chronicle of Higher Education's Wired Campus blog has a post titled "In STEM Courses, a Gender Gap in Online Class Discussions." The author describes the results of a recent study, and though it specifically looked at STEM courses, it also talks about the results in other classes. Some of the results:
Women are more likely than their male classmates to answer Piazza questions (Piazza is an online discussion platform used in many colleges) anonymously in computer-science and other STEM courses.
On average, women answer fewer questions than men in STEM and humanities courses, but more questions in social-science and business courses.
The study's authors suggest that the differences in behavior by gender represent a "gap in confidence" between women and men enrolled in courses.

2014 Tech Fails
MIT Technology Review has an article titled "The Top Technology Failures of 2014". The author explains that :Success means a technology solves a problem, whether it's installed on a billion smartphones or used by a few scientists carrying out specialized work. But many—maybe most—technologies do not succeed, typically because they fail to reach the scale of adoption that would make them relevant. The reasons for failure aren't predictable. This year we saw promising technologies felled by Supreme Court decisions, TV cameras, public opinion, and even by fibbing graduate students." Among the failures they note: Google Glass, Bitcoin, and sapphire iPhone screens.

On November 20, President Obama announced the commencement of a multi-pronged immigration initiative that could, among other things, enable a substantial portion of the unlawfully present alien population to obtain temporary relief from removal and work authorization. The new initiative also involves other actions, including narrowing the scope of aliens prioritized by federal immigration authorities for removal; using 'parole' authority to allow certain aliens to enter or remain in the United States; and modifying rules relating to visa eligibility (or processing). The Congressional Research Service has published a helpful Primer (3 page pdf with hyperlinks) online that summarizes the initiative.

Rethinking academic libraries
Inside Higher Ed has an article today titled "Clash in the Stacks" about academic libraries and librarians. The article discusses how "one common trend... is that several library directors who have left their jobs have done so after long-term disputes with other groups on campus about how the academic library should change to better serve students and faculty. The disputes highlight the growing pains of institutions and their members suddenly challenged to redefine themselves after centuries of serving as gateways and gatekeepers to knowledge." It looks at how different institutions of higher education are dealing with their libraries and librarians.
Most corrupt states
A recent article in the Washington Post is titled "A state guide to political corruption, according to the reporters who cover it". Sadly (but not surprisingly) Pennsylvania ranks in the top 7 states for "most corrupt", along with New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia and Alabama. The study on which the article is based was done by fellows at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University; the full report is available on the Center's website.

"Nature" moves towards open access
The Chronicle of Higher Education today has an article titled "In a Move Toward Open Access, 'Nature' Allows Widespread Article Sharing." The article discusses how Nature, one of the world's most-cited scientific publications, has taken a step toward open access by granting its subscribers and journalists wide authority to let outside readers view its articles at no cost. Under the new policy, subscribers to 49 journals published by the Nature Publishing Group and collected on Nature's website can create and share links to full-text versions of all of that content. About 100 media outlets also can include free links in news reports that reference articles in the group's journals.

Andis Winery 2012 Cabernet Franc on new Spring Menu
Chef Mavro restaurant is happy to showcase the Andis Winery Estate 2012 Cabernet Franc, Sierra Foothills. This is the perfect pairing for Chef Mavro's new Spring Menu pork pho dish. Starts Wednesday, March 18. Reserve your table here.
Berkshire pork loin & crispy belly pho, pickled green papaya, mung bean vermicellim pork consommé, kale & thai basil, aleppo pepper
Insight from Andis Winery:
"100% cabernet franc from two of our favorite and highest elevation vineyards, the Cabernet Franc was originally the first Andis wine to be aged in our egg-shaped concrete tank. This technique continues with the 2012 vintage, which helps to preserve the delicate and perfumed nature of this wine. Inspired by the amazing wines of France's Loire Valley, the grapes were fermented gently and slowly to capture the plush fruit character and bright cherry aromatics. It opens on the palate with juicy flavors of raspberry, tea and dark chocolate, with a long-lasting finish." www.andiswines.com

Chef Mavro Letter – New Winter Truffle Menu
First of all, our Chef Mavro Restaurant family
joins me & my wife Donna
in wishing you Delicious Holidays & an Astonishing 2015!!!
Festive Lamb Provençal on our 6-course Winter Truffle Menu
Happy Holidays!
It's a beautiful gift from Mother Nature, our Périgord truffles just arrived, as they do every year just before Christmas. And so our new Winter Truffle Menu starts December 17th and we're open every night through the Holidays.
Truffle slices falling on more truffles!
Captured by our friend world-famous photographer Sherrie Ott.Don't miss your Périgord truffles fix!
I love to observe the cycles of the truffle season. The season starts in Fall with Burgundy truffles, black outside, coffee color inside. They are cheaper than Périgord but no comparison with Périgord truffles. In Fall you find also white truffles from Alba Italy, they are delicious & very expensive. Their garlicky overtone is more appropriate for Italian cooking, gnocchi, pasta, risotto etc… At the end of the white truffle season comes Winter and the Périgord truffles…It has to freeze in Provence for the black truffles to pop up under oak trees! These treasures are black outside & black inside, you cannot be mistaken. They are not cheap at all; it's why we call them the "black diamonds."
As soon as they are delivered from France to our kitchen door, we open the box and they perfume the whole kitchen with their aroma! It's totally addictive…but don't worry, I never heard of truffle overdose! So every year just before the Holidays, we are proud to be the first to offer a Périgord truffle fix.
As you may know, every year we feature what is now our classic, Peterson egg upland farm, truffle "Osmose" with potato mousseline & San Danielle prosciutto ribbons.
When we receive the truffles, we store them in a hermetically sealed box with the eggs. By the osmosis process the eggs are naturally infused with truffle aroma.Then they are poached in order to preserve the truffle flavor. We serve them in truffled potato mousseline, topped with pickled shallot, prosciutto ribbon, chervil leaves & more truffles on top.
We selected the Jean-Marc Brocard, Chablis premier cru "Vaulorent." I love our sommelier Doug Johnson's description of this wine: "wet stone, white flowers & fruit notes; complex & intense, good length."
* * * * *
Truffled Brie de Meaux Mousse
If you never had Brie de Meaux, you don't know brie…and if you never had this delicious cheese flavored with truffles, you don't know Brie de Meaux..
We whisk the brie to a fluffy consistency, add chopped truffles, make it into a quenelle on top of country bread croutons served with escarole lettuce, lardons, walnut-truffle vinaigrette "et voila," simple & delicious…
The pairing, Domaine Huet, Loire, Vouvray sec (dry) ask Doug about the "expressive aromas of apple, quince & honeysuckle, creamy long finish." Don't get him started, I'm sure that he can talk to you about the bouquet, aromas & flavor of this wine forever!
* * * * *
These are fun vegetables!
Our new "méli-mélo"of upcountry vegetables. I love working on veggies…Vegetables don't have to be boring, almost by tradition people kill them! Especially when they are blanched. In our kitchen we don't blanch our vegetables. Instead each one is cooked the best way is supposed to be. We étuvée carrot, leek, fennel etc…we bake beets, we braise asparagus, broccoli…and when it is better not to cook them, we don't. Red radish is an example…Also, this season we accompany the méli-mélo with a "sauce verte," translation, green sauce…
We chop finely a selection of "fines herbes," including chervil, chive, tarragon, parsley & cilantro mixed with a pinch of French mustard & extra virgin olive oil. This sauce is the main condiment of our veggies plate…
These are not boring vegetables especially paired with the Fiddlehead, Sauvignon Blanc, "Happy Canyon" from Santa Ynez Valley & as Doug likes to say, it's "fresh pear, vanilla & citrus notes, with hints of apricot and balancing acidity" also balance the méli-mélo beautifully…These are fun vegetables!
* * * * *
If I'm visiting Nice on the Côte d'Azur, you know where to find me!
Lamb, socca & ratatouille – I am very excited about this recipe. Totally inspired from the French Riviera, Côte d'Azur. When food is concerned I like to include the French Riviera into my Provence. If I am visiting Nice, you know where to find me…in the Vieux Nice (old part of the town) eating socca.
In fact socca is more considered as street food that you buy from vendors as you wander around the old streets. But what is socca?… Here is the recipe, chick pea flour, water, extra virgin olive oil that's all. If you have a very hot oven, more than 500 degrees, & are not afraid to burn yourself with the boiling oil it's also easy to make. If not, come to the restaurant we are always happy to make for you! It's what we are here for, aren't we?
I don't have to describe ratatouille, you know what it is. Except that I have totally deconstructed the recipe to make sure you can appreciate every single one of the 1000 ingredients.
With the lamb, you have the opportunity to enjoy the prestigious Italian Brunello di Montalcino from Piancornello…by the glass of course!
Again, I'm way too long & I have no room to talk to you about the wonderful new desserts from our Jose Calpito, but don't go anywhere I will keep you posted.
You can also check our new web site www.chefmavro.com featuring Rae Huo photos & follow me on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram where I'll show you insider images of what's going on with us day by day.
Did I wish you the best for 2015?…yes I did…
Aloha, Mahalo & Merci Beaucoup for letting us cook for you!

greywacke, 2012 pinot noir, new zealand
"From the cool climate hillside vineyards planted to Dijon clones of pinot noir, Greywacke takes its name from the type of sandstone found in the hills, valleys and vineyards in Marlborough's Southern Valleys of New Zealand. Crafted by veteran winemaker Kevin Judd, founding winemaker of famed Cloudy Bay Winery, the 2012 pinot noir oozes of mulled raspberry, spice, rose petals and pepper; full bodied and delicious."
bergström wines, 2012 gregory ranch pinot noir
yamhill-carlton, willamette valley, oregon
"Gregory Ranch's viticulture and biodynamic programs have been managed by Josh Bergström and the Bergström Wines farming team since the vineyard's inception in 2007. Wines from the Yamhill-Carlton District of Willamette Valley typically show dark fruits such as blackberry and blueberry with flavors of mushroom and spice that stem from the marine sedimentary soil known as "Willakenzie."
paul lato, 2012 "duende," gold coast vineyard
santa maria valley
"From the cool coastal climate of the Santa Maria Valley, Paul Lato crafts the "Duende," from the Martini Clone of pinot noir, a low tannin clone that yields a full bodied and silky textured wine that shows bright strawberry fruit with earthy notes."
The exciting contemporary regional cuisine of Chef Mavro restaurant consistently earns the highest food rating in Hawaii with an 18/20 from Gayot.

New menu stories from Chef Mavro
Keahole lobster photo by Rae Huo
(new menu stories from Chef Mavro)
I must have seafood in my genes!
My previous newsletter "Fall Menu Part I" was mostly about our new seafood dishes. It is true that I love cooking seafood. Born on the old port of Marseille and from Greek sponge divers on my father's side, I must have the sea in my genes! In fact Bon Appetit just asked me about fish cookery.
But I know how to cook meat too!
Berkshire pork loin, house vadouvan curry, braised savoy cabbage, Brussel sprout petals, crispy pork belly.
First of all, in our fall Hana Hou (our greatest hits), we welcome back the vadouvan curry!
You may already know the origins of the Vadouvan but I love this story. The vadouvan curry was created about 2 centuries ago by the French living at this time in the Indian territory of Pondicherry. I always like to romance this story like this… French used to like Indian curries but there was a problem. India curries are very spicy & this is a «problème » for pairing wines. You know French…there is no food if there is no wine & no wine if there is no food.
Also, I know very well what you are thinking… French are convinced that they can cook better than anybody else. So…they created their own curry… the vadouvan was born! Of course I am doing my own vadouvan. Anyway, we always do everything from scratch.
What better than the Niman Berkshire pork to go with the vadouvan.
I consider Niman Berkshire pork as "la crème de la crème" of pork. It has this kind of marbling that you can find only in the top quality of beef. Served with a duo of cabbage, sauteed Brussel sprout petals & braised savoy cabbage,
crunchy pork belly, sooo… crunchy.
No Darjeeling for the pairing…the astonishing 2012 Lytton Spring from Ridge Vineyards, Sonoma. A selection from our sommelier Doug Johnson which the committee was crazy about.
Wagyu pavé, pomegranate-teriyaki glaze, sauteed kabocha, sumida farm watercress potato mochi with yuzu koshu accent
We are featuring the wagyu as a "Tajima Wagyu experience." You can add the wagyu to our 4 & 6 course menus. Or substitute it as your main entrée.
This is my opportunity to introduce our new chef de cuisine, Jeremy Shigekane, who contributed to this Wagyu recipe.
Jeremy just came on board a few months ago. Although he is young, he already has a very strong experience from working with Brian Bistrong at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay, to Gray Kuntz & David Bouley in New York. He came back home after working 10 years on the Mainland & was recently chef de cuisine of Hoku at the Kahala.
Back to seafood… I can't help it!
Our guests asked us to put back on the menu one of our more popular recipes & not the onaga baked in salt crust this time but the…
Steamed day-boat snapper Chinatown style, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, sizzled with grape seed & sesame oil, topped with fried cilantro & green onion
This is a deconstructed version of the popular Chinese recipe. When I arrived in Honolulu, fresh from France I discovered this local favorite, it blew my mind & I'm always happy to feature it in my menu.
We look forward to cooking for you soon!
George Mavro, chef/owner

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran is depending more on friendly powers in the international arena for fuel supplies after the U.S. passed far-reaching sanctions a week ago that aim to hinder Tehran's fuel imports and deepen its international isolation.
The Islamic Republic is buying around half of its July gasoline imports from Turkey and the rest from Chinese sellers, oil traders said on Thursday, as most other suppliers have stopped selling due to the U.S. sanctions.
Turkish refiner Tupras began supplying gasoline to Iran in June after a hiatus of at least 18 months, trade sources said, just days after Turkey and Brazil brokered a nuclear fuel swap plant with Tehran designed to quell international fears over the Islamic Republic's atomic ambitions.
Western powers rejected the plan, and Turkey and Brazil responded by becoming the only two countries to vote against the fourth round of sanctions on Iran at the U.N. security council.
China, one of Iran's main trade partners and a permanent member of the security council, signed up to the U.N. sanctions. But before it did so, Beijing demanded the measures were diluted to avoid targeting Tehran's oil and gas industries. Earlier this week, China denounced the United States for imposing its own sanctions on Iran.
"The Chinese are doing this in order to make their own mark," said Iran analyst Meir Javedanfar, an independent analyst based in Tel Aviv.
Iran would import around 90,000 barrels per day (bpd) of gasoline in July, steady from June, oil traders said. It would take around nine cargoes, four or five of them from Turkey and the rest from Chinese sellers, they said.
Chinese traders have been buying gasoline in the Gulf and elsewhere and selling it onto Iran. Unipec, the trading arm of Chinese refiner Sinopec, is one of those firms, trade sources said last month.
Unipec and state-run Chinaoil restarted direct sales of gasoline to Iran earlier this year, stepping into a void left by fuel suppliers who halted trade under the threat of U.S. sanctions.
Many gasoline sellers stopped trading with Iran in anticipation of the U.S. sanctions. French major Total(TOTF.PA) in June joined the growing list of those that had stopped sales. Total had supplied about half Iran's gasoline imports in May.
Royal Dutch Shell(RDSa.L), BP(BP.L), Reliance Industries(RELI.BO) and independent Swiss trader Glencore, were among suppliers that have already either stopped fuel sales to Iran or have made a decision not to enter into new trading agreements with the world's fifth-largest oil exporter.
The limited pool of suppliers was driving up the cost of gasoline for Iran and making it harder for the Islamic Republic to buy the quantities it needs, traders said.
"These restrictive measures mean it is getting very serious for Iran," said Mehdi Varzi, a London-based energy consultant. "The oil market is a big market, and they will always find suppliers, but it is getting more difficult and it is costing more."
Iran may well want to buy more cargoes than it had managed to secure, trade sources said.
"I suspect they would like more cargoes, they are only buying nine cargoes when they used to buy 12 a month," said one oil trader.
Iran is OPEC's second-largest oil producer but relies on imports to meet up to 40 percent of its gasoline needs as it lacks the refining capacity needed to meet domestic demand.
U.S. sanctions aim to target those imports, allowing for the imposition of bans on access to the U.S. banking system, property transactions and foreign exchange in the United States for international suppliers of gasoline to Iran.
The sanctions aim to pressure Iran to halt its nuclear programme. Western powers believe Iran is trying to build bombs under the cover of a civilian nuclear programme. Tehran says its needs nuclear electricity.
The sanctions were also impacting the international flights operated by Iranian airlines. Two Iranian airplanes have been forced to fly from Hamburg airport without refuelling this week, an airport spokesman said on Thursday.
Washington has not spelled out whether its new sanctions are intended to require firms to refuse to fuel Iranian jets at airports in third countries, but U.S. officials have made it clear they are pleased with reports sanctions had begun to bite.
Two of the gasoline cargoes coming from Turkey were scheduled to load from Turkish refiner Tupras' Izmit refinery, while two or three were scheduled to load from Tupras' Izmir refinery, sources said. The cargoes would be loaded load onto ships owned by the state energy giant National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), they added.
A Tupras spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment on Thursday.

free file for organzing embroidery designs
found this link thought I share
Here is a link that might be useful: organizing
My directory structure is similar. Since I keep my designs on CD, I cut out the first directory because I know what the CD is for and keep each category as its own directory so I'm not subdirectoring to oblivion with sub directories ending up buried somewhere in a sub sub sub category.
All it takes is a little forethought and planning with a good knowledge of computer directory structure. Keep it simple and you will find what you want every time.
I was just taught from working in offices for over 30 years to keep things in a sensible file system or computer directory so other people can find files quickly when needed.
Then there is the other factor of hating to hunt down lost files that would not have been lost if they had been filed where they were suppose to and the wasted time looking for those files when one could be doing something more productive and enjoyable--like getting your work or sewing done.
I'm with you Pat!! I have cd's and floppies in two rooms.
I kinda sorta have them organized in the computer.
I'm sure that if someone really organized looked at them tho they would disagree with me. LOL
Like you, I'll find what I'm looking for eventually.

South Shore MA Screening: Freedom for Birth
September 20th Details tba
There's a "revolution that's happening in birth today. There is a huge outcry around the world as birth seems to be getting worse rather than better. Whatever the reason (and it's different where ever you go in the world), it's clear that as a species we need to stop and take stock of the rapid changes that are happening in birth pretty much everywhere."

Only 1 Oven - convection or Wolf combi steam
Hello all,
I apologize if this question has already been addressed. I did do a search and could not seem to find anything that addressed this particular issue.
I am soon to move to a CCRC and the kitchen is SMALL. I can, however, update appliances. I'm going to replace the drop in electric range with an induction cooktop and an oven. This raises the question, which oven, convection or Wolf combi-steam. Since it is a retirement community with it's own restaurant and my duplex would have little room for large group entertaining, my oven would primarily be to cook for me only. With that in mind, would a combi steam oven be an appropriate choice? From what I have read, it appears to be able to do everything that a convection oven does and more. I love to bake and I love al things vegetable. The duplex has an over-the-range microwave that I'd keep for those times I make homemade candy or popcorn.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Combi steam, without a doubt. If you are only cooking for yourself, you will love the reheat function - it combines regular heat with moisture so the reheated food does not dry out. It is also much faster than a regular oven when you used the combination mode. While it has a smaller cavity, that should not present a problem.
If you only have one oven and it is a steam oven, I would go for the Miele "XL" model over the Wolf. The Miele has a broiler element; the Wolf does not. The Miele is far more controllable than the Wolf (which relies heavily on pre-programmed settings).
Here is a link that might be useful: Miele XL combi-steam
Bobbie, when I suggested a combi steam oven, I forgot the point that Caliete makes a, I don't have a broil element in my combi steam, I have one in my range but nearly never use it. If you have the time, you might want to look at the different options - Gaggenau, Miele, Wolf, and Thermador to see which combi you like best- they all have different controls and pluses and minuses, depending on your use.
If I had to choose just one it would be to keep our Wolf steam oven, it is great. It is large, does a great job of cooking and baking, and to be honest I don't think i would ever miss a broiler in it. i can count on one hand how often I have ever used a broiler in 20+ years of cooking.
But that is just MHO.
I was reading this thread and curious about this assertion:
'''The Miele is far more controllable than the Wolf (which relies heavily on pre-programmed settings).'''
I wonder what factors make this true.
Has anybody used both Wolf CSO and Miele XL? (and can comment on this?)
My sister just gifted me with the Cuisinart CSO Combo-steam oven and we LOVE IT.
So as others have noted, I would opt for a steam oven. Having said that, this cuisinart is a countertop model and it is also convection.
I am not familiar with the wall ovens with steam so things you may need to consider are: gaggenau is plumbed and would you be allowed to have that installed? Which of the ovens you listed offers convection with their steam option...and of course, if you have been happy with a standard oven and have counter room (I know you said the kitchen was small), this countertop glorified toaster-oven, steam, convection may be the best of having it all.

Nicolaus Bruhns initially learned music from his father Paul Bruhns (1640-89?), who was the organist at Schwabstedt; he later studied composition and organ with Dietrich Buxtehude.
With Buxtehude's help, he received a post as violinist and composer at the court in Copenhagen, and in 1689 became the town organist in Husum, his last post before his tragic early death (sources disagree on whether he was 31 or 32 at the time).
Although primarily an organist, he had many musical talents; he was known for playing improvisations on the violin over a bass line played on the pedal board of the organ, and was one of the best composers of sacred cantatas of his era. He also composed chamber music, which is now unfortunately lost.
Johann Sebastian Bach's son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach later wrote to his father's biographer Johann Nikolaus Forkel that his father had admired Bruhns' work. J.S. Bach's obituary stated that he studied and followed Bruhns' compositions, but showing this musically is not easy.
Two compositions can be downloaded from the library of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

WASHINGTON - Mitt Romney ended his rollercoaster return to presidential politics on Friday, declaring his party would be better served by the "next generation of Republican leaders" and concluding his unlikely comeback as suddenly as it began.
