Small Wineries Team Up For Big Impact
By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren
When you're a small winery seeking a big impact, it helps to have friends. But OTHER wineries?
That's the tale of the collective calling itself Bear Creek Boutique Wineries.
Ten smaller wineries scattered around the Medford/Ashland area joined forces under that name to offer discounts and deals that potentially benefit all of them.
We visit with several of the operators about making the boutique collective work.

text: Think Of U (Parts 1&2) [LNTG Rework] by Late Nite Tuff Guy published on 2013/10/02 00:23:51 +0000 People often ask me what my favourite dance tracks of all time are, and it's always a difficult question to answer, because most of the time it depends on how I am feeling on that particular day. More often than not, 'I Want Your Love' by CHIC is one that comes to mind. It was one of the very first 12" singles I bought (I was 14 years old). Now...I know this track has been remixed, remodelled, remade, and re-edited a hundred times. There are versions that I absolutely love, especially the Dimitri From Paris version from a couple of years ago, and of course the Moodymann version from the mid 90's. I initially wanted to just do Part 1, but every time I got to a certain point I just wanted to hear THAT whole riff! So, I ended up doing this. Hope you enjoy it, LNTG. 'Think Of U' will be part of my latest vinyl Tuff Cut #04 release scheduled for November 2013. ★ For more news and updates follow me on Twitter @LateNiteTuffGuy

by James Slater - A few days ago, when the hugely intriguing Kelly Pavlik-Paul Williams fight was announced as happening on October 3rd, fans everywhere rejoiced. A great fight on paper, Pavlik-Williams is just the kind of fight boxing needs today. However, in announcing the fight and the subsequent press conference that would make the fight a go, the promoters jumped the gun. Depressingly, as fans now know, Pavlik and his team said they would not be attending any press conference because the middleweight king would not be in any shape to fight Williams on October 3rd due to a serious problem with the middle finger of his left hand..
Hoping to save the fight all of boxing wants to see take place, a later date, of either November or even December, was put forth. Even more recently, though, Williams' team have made it clear they do not want to have "The Punisher" wait around for a fight that long. Not having fought since his dominant points win over Winky Wright back in April, the welterweight and light-middleweight titlist is concerned about staying on the shelf too long. And this is where we are now; left in the dark about whether or not this potential super-fight will actually happen after all.
No-one's blaming anyone. Pavlik's finger injury is as serious as it is 100-percnt genuine. And after what happened to him when he went ahead when less than 100-percent in his fight with Bernard Hopkins last October, no way should anyone expect "The Ghost" to risk doing the same thing against Williams. Jack Loew, when speaking to The Youngstown Vindicator, spoke briefly about the injury his fighter has.
"It turned my stomach," Loew said. "There's a hole in it (Kelly's left hand)."
It's clear then, that this fight is not being postponed (or, God forbid, even cancelled for good) due to one half of the match-up getting cold feet and using stalling tactics. Pavlik's injury is legit, simple as that. What has annoyed fans, though , is just why they had the fight dangled in front of them by the promoters, when they should have known all along that Pavlik would be in no shape to fight on the October date they were publicising.
The outlook now is pretty grim, it must be said. If Williams does not want to wait around until November or December to fight Pavlik, and instead opts to take a fight with someone else so as to keep active and sharp (possible opponents mentioned are Sergio Martinez, Sergiy Dzinziruk and, according to some rumours, Bernard Hopkins!), then that's his call. Williams wants to fight, Pavlik can't fight - at least not right now - and that's the bottom line.
Again, neither fighter is at fault; but that's no conciliation to the fans. Indeed, some fans are already saying they felt all along the Pavlik-Williams fight was too good to be true. Let's hope this line of thinking is not borne out.

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds
By Tom Sellar
Before the fourth duet is over, the evening is beginning to seem long, but this encounter is full of lovely images. Baker is less a nymph for the Faun to seduce (although they do embrace and nuzzle each other on the ledge) than an interested fellow-dancer. She watches him, intrigued, and copies his moves. Side by side, they walk pigeon-toed, but she intrigues him too, and he stretches her leg into a lavish arabesque.
As Diagnosis of a Faun is winding down, Rogoff alludes again to Nijinskys ballet. While Baker relaxes on the ground, Mozgala brings a bark basket of rose petals and scatters them over her. When she rises, he lowers himself onto her flowery simulacrum in orgasmic delight. She leaves quietly. I cant remember exactly when Dr. A. entered and reclined on the floor, his back against a rock, but hes there when the Faun climbs back up to his resting place and lies down in the same pose. Dr. B., now in pointe shoes, bourrées smoothly across the stage and disappears. A recorded voice weve heard before says, Paging Dr. B.! And in an instant, Kollisch and Mozgala sit up and stare toward us, their identical poses stirring a memory of a Nijinsky photo. They look as if theyve been awakened from a dream. As have we.

The civil trial between the State of Victoria and the former holders of gaming machine licences in the state, Tabcorp Holdings Ltd (Tabcorp) and Tatts Group Ltd (Tatts), has commenced in the Victorian Supreme Court before Justice Hargrave. Until the expiry of their licences in August 2012, the two companies held a duopoly over Victoria's 27, 500 gaming machines located outside of Melbourne's Crown Casino. Following the expiry of the licences, the entitlement to operate gaming machines was allocated to club and hotel venue operators.
The Tabcorp action arises under the now repealed Gaming and Betting Act 1994 (Vic) (1994 Act) which entitled Tabcorp to receive a payment upon the granting of new licences (other than the initial licences which Tabcorp and Tatts held).
The Tatts action arises under contract law. It entered into an agreement with the Victorian Government on 17 November 1995 which created a similar entitlement to payment.
Combined, the companies are suing the Victorian Government for over AU$ 1 billion.
The Victorian Government is arguing that the 1994 Act is unenforceable as it has been repealed and replaced by new legislation and also that the new "entitlement" of the clubs and hotels is materially different from the licences previously held by Tabcorp and Tatts, and that the obligations to make payments therefore do not arise.
We will continue to monitor this matter as it progresses through the Victorian courts.

No, there is a difference between opinion and the facts of history--the latter you are not using.
Fact one
: in 2012, many treid to write of Serena after the AO/FO results. That blew up in their faces as she won Wimbledon, the USO and made history at the Olympics. You are doing the same thing, and trying to ignore that a fully healthy Serena was next to invincible in the 2nd half of 2012.
Please tell us how that is not how history unfolded.
I don't remember vaidisova
How long have you watched tennis? She reached the semis of the '06 FO, semis of the '07 AO, and was a Wimbledon QF in2007/'08. Far greater majors run than Stephens, who only reached a majors SF thanks to an injured player.
Fact two
: If you recalled history, then you would know Vaidisova and Oudin had stronger majors runs, but it did not amount to anything. Stephens has not proven anything by getting (what amounted to) a near-walkover by playing an injured player. Further, you cannot spin or erase her 1st set beatdown at the hands of Azarenka, who (before that set was midpoint) clearly had more than an edge over Stephens. Thus, her AO results are no idication that she is part of some "new guard" in the way majors winner Azarenka is.
and i never felt strength from oudin
Her USO run was all the "strength" one needed to think she was going somehwere, having defeated 3 top players in a row, but for all of that success, the game fell apart, and everyone figured her game out.
as for the "loser in my avatar" ... that i agree with you on. she's a loser and a cheater, as is azarenka .... can't win without creating the hindrance of the scream
It is amusing how the majority of players never complain about this so-called screaming, nor does it prevent others from defeating such players, otherwise, Sharapova would have 30 majors by now if it was such an advantage. Moreover, Kvitova is about as mousy as anyone could be, but she's not campaigning to bring an end to vocal players.

Bryan Nixon has won nearly 90 games in 12 years at Centennial High, a winning percentage most coaches would pay for. He's beloved by Golden Hawks past and present and had no reason to leave the school.
No reason, that is, until last month, when his son Jace, 7, told him next to the Christmas tree that he and his friends were going to play football for Liberty.
This came as no big surprise to Nixon, considering his family lives in the Liberty district, but Jace's next statement caught him off-guard.
"He said, 'So, if I'm playing for Liberty against Centennial, and you're coaching Centennial, who do you root for?" Bryan Nixon said. "I said, 'Well, I root for Centennial and hope you have a great game.'
"He said, 'You'd root against my team?' And it just got me thinking that I never wanted that to be the situation."
That leads us to Friday's news: Nixon, who only interviewed for the job Wednesday, has been hired as the new football coach at Liberty, the chief rival of the school he left.
"It's a great place for me," he said.
Little did Jace know last month that the former football coach at Liberty, Tony Mills, had stepped down just the week before. And little did either Nixon know that an independent studies teacher at Liberty had just retired.
Nixon happens to teach independent studies.
In 12 years at Centennial, Nixon compiled an 89-52-1 record and reached two Central Section championship games, including the Division I title game in 2009. He sent numerous players to Division I college, including current USC quarterback Cody Kessler and Utah linebacker Jared Norris.
"It was hard to tell the guys I was leaving," Nixon said. "It was very emotional. That was the hardest part."
Centennial's athletic director, Becky Porter, is moving at the end of the month. Her interim replacement, Wayne Cherry, said he would assist Centennial principal Steve Wedel in searching for Nixon's replacement.
"We haven't got a timetable, but Mr. Wedel will start looking pretty quick," Cherry said. "I feel good for Bryan. He made a decision based on his family, so that's a good deal for him. And I'm sure we'll get somebody good."
Liberty won a Yosemite Small Division title (the equivalent of Division II) in 2001, but it has never played for a D-I title. Mills reached the semifinals twice in his five years at the helm.
"(Nixon) fits all our needs," Liberty athletic director Tim Davis said. "He's a great coach, a great family man and a great role model for our kids. He fits the bill in every way."
Liberty will play at Centennial in an emotional Freedom Bowl to end the regular season this year. Nixon said he'll deal with that when it arrives.
"It's Liberty-Centennial. It's a great rivalry," he said. "But it's about the kids, not anything else. I hope I can hug and love on those guys like any other time."
Then, in a few years, Jace will suit up for the Patriots and Nixon won't ever have to answer the Christmas tree question.
"It's tough leaving a place like Centennial, but I'm excited about this new journey," he said. "Hopefully I can spend another 12 great years here."

Huge second half propels Ateneo past National U
More News from Celest R. Flores
MANILA, Philippines – Ateneo flexed its muscles in the second half with a 70-56 dumping of National University Thursday to stay atop the heap in the 75th UAAP men's basketball tournament.
The Blue Eagles were even trailing by two points at the end of the first half but blitzed to a double-digit lead to as high as 18 points in the second half at the Philsports Arena in Pasig.
With its 10the victory Ateneo is assured of at least a playoff for the twice-to-beat edge.
Greg Slaughter dominated the paint and Ateneo leaned on his eight straight buckets midway the fourth quarter, which opened up a 68-50 lead.
"At half time we made some adjustments that worked well for us and allowed us to pull away," said head coach Norman Black.
Slaughter finished with 22 points and seven boards while Nico Salva and Kiefer Ravena pitched in 14 markers apiece.
The Blue Eagles also started making their outside shots in the second half — after taking zero attempts in the first half — which helped spread the Bulldogs defense and relieved some of the burden off Slaughter.
It was also a tough night for the Bulldogs' top offensive threat as Bobby Ray Parks only managed to conjure 11 points on 5-of-17 shooting.
"We didn't go into the game trying to limit him [Parks]," said Black, though.
Emmanuel Mbe finished 19 points and 14 rebounds for the Bulldogs, who lost their grip of solo fourth and allowed La Salle to tie at 7-5.
Jeff Javillionar added 15 points for NU, which didn't win against Ateneo in their two meetings in the elimination round.

If a childminder employs an assistant or works
with another childminder, each childminder (or assistant) may care
for the number of children permitted by the ratios specified in
sections 3.39/3.40 of the EYFS Statutory Framework, subject to any
restrictions imposed by Ofsted on registration.
Children may only be left in the sole care of
assistants for no more than two hours in a single day.
Childminders must obtain parental permission to leave children with
an assistant.
If a childminder can demonstrate to
parents/carers and Ofsted that the individual needs of children are
being met, then exceptions to the usual ratios can be made where
childminders are caring for sibling babies, or caring for their own
baby. This is to allow continuity of care for families. Exceptions
may also apply in the event of short-term and unforeseeable
emergencies, as long as care for all children is safeguarded and
the one-to-six ratio is not exceeded.
In all cases, when deciding to care for
additional children in the early years age group childminders
should consider:

The SONA as mirror of Philippine society
More News from Alex Y. Vergara
Based on online comments generated by an earlier front-page story that I wrote on the much-awaited annual fashion showdown that preceded President Aquino's State of the Nation address Monday afternoon, not a few readers were appalled at the extent some VIPs, especially the women, would go just to grab the public's attention.
One even took media to task for its seeming inability to "tighten its intellectual screws and realize [that] this [Sona] is not a 'social event' where fashion needs to be underlined and made worthy of commentary."
In plain speak, the reader was wondering why legitimate media were indulging these seemingly frivolous women for hogging the limelight by parading on the red carpet, as if the Sona were some movie premiere or awards night.
In effect, the reader said, these guests could even be drowning out the President's annual report and vision for the Filipino people with their eye-popping jewelry, tiered skirts, beaded bodices and embroidered hemlines.
But the reader was also conveniently forgetting one thing: Media, at least in a free and open country, is simply doing its job by mirroring the society it covers. It would have been more remiss on our part had we ignored the event as if it never happened.
The same thread also produced this seemingly inspired suggestion from another reader. Instead of guests spending untold sums on expensive designer fashion, "How about going all-out and wearing a barong or terno made of crocodile or snake skin?"
If guests were to take the suggestion literally, the reader obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. Since they're quite rare, exotic skins, apart from harming innocent and endangered animals, can cost a pretty penny. And in some cases, they don't, ah, photograph well.
When it comes to a subjective and touchy issue like fashion, I've learned through the years of covering it that it's definitely much better and wiser to leave wearers, designers and observers to arrive at their respective opinions, illusions and conclusions.

He was a Life Member and Past Commander of the Charleston VFW Paul McVey Post 1592; a member of the Patriots, Berwyn Cisero VietNow, the Howard County Vietnam Veterans Association and a member of the former Charleston Eagles Club.
Jerry's primary hobby was airplanes and he enjoyed assembling airplane models. He was knowledgeable on the different types and models of planes and could talk planes with the best of them. A highlight in his life was piloting the Goodyear Blimp and was made a Charter Member of the Goodyear Blimp Club. He was also a NASCAR enthusiast and a Jeff Gordon fan.
