World Trade Organization issues ruling in Havana Club case
On Aug. 6, a WTO dispute panel ruled on the case involving ownership of the Havana Club rum trademark. The ruling supported the US side on most points in the dispute with the European Union (EU), which made the complaint on behalf of the French spirits firm Pernod Ricard. However, the ruling left the door open for the firm to try for another round in US courts.
The dispute stems from the claim by Bermuda-based Bacardi that it owns the rights to the Havana Club label, which has been registered in the US to the Cuban company Cubaexport since 1976. In a joint venture, Cubaexport and Pernod Ricard have been marketing rum around the world under the Havana Club label since 1993.
Bacardi claimed ownership of the trade name and cited a 1998 US law known as Section 211 that prohibits use in the US of trademarks that originally belonged to companies confiscated by the Cuban government. The law also prohibits US courts from hearing claims presented by current users of those trademarks.
The ruling accepted the US view that the WTO agreement on Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) does not require the US to recognize confiscation decrees, and consequently Pernod Ricard's claim that it owns the trademark is nonenforceable in the US.
Because the WTO panel agreed with the EU that the US could not deny access to its courts for companies seeking protection for trade names, Pernod Ricard could decide to press its trademark claim again in US courts.
Mark Orr, head of Pernod Ricard's North American sales, said, "We are extremely satisfied that the European Union was able to make its point on this fundamental issue."
The company has lost in three attempts to get the courts to stop Bacardi from selling rum under the Havana Club name in the US. After the Supreme Court last year refused to hear an appeal of lower-court rulings against Pernod Ricard, President Fidel Castro said Cuba might ignore Bacardi's trademark protection and begin selling rum under the Bacardi label in Cuba (see NotiCen, 2000-02-17, 2001-04-19).
The WTO decision narrows the scope of international protection of trade names by excluding them from coverage under TRIPS. The European Commission said, "This very narrow interpretation of TRIPS could significantly reduce the level of trademark protection around the world by leaving each WTO member complete freedom on determining who is the owner of a trademark as long as it respects the procedural requirements of TRIPS."
A commission official asked, "If you had a US trademark, how would you feel about this? The international enforceability of trademarks is something that goes beyond just this case about rum."
The EU said it would appeal the parts of the WTO decision that deny trademark protection under TRIPS.
US to try smugglers after death of six Cubans at sea
US authorities will try two Cuban-born Miami residents for smuggling and perhaps homicide following the Aug. 1 deaths at sea of three adults and three children heading for Florida in a speedboat.
Twenty-two passengers, including the two alleged smugglers, were rescued after the boat capsized in heavy seas near Key West Aug. 1.
Border Patrol spokesman Joe Mellia said 20 of the survivors would be allowed to stay in the US because they were needed to testify against the two men who allegedly charged US$8,000 per person for the trip to the US.
The two men, Osvaldo Fernandez Marrero and Roberto Montero Dominguez, were charged with criminal alien smuggling by the US attorney's office in Miami. They face life imprisonment or the death penalty if convicted.
The day after the boat sank, Cuban exile leaders in Miami began to pressure the White House to allow the survivors to remain in the US. Armando Gutierrez, who was prominent in the efforts by the exile community to keep Elian Gonzalez in the US (see NotiCen, 2000-07-13), wrote President George W. Bush asking him to grant asylum. "Those people have been victims of the communist regime of Fidel Castro, of the unmerciful weather on the high seas, and now they run the risk of being returned to Cuba," Gutierrez said.
Under an immigration agreement with Cuba, undocumented Cubans who do not reach dry land (wet feet) are returned to Cuba. The decision to exempt the survivors may represent an intensification of US efforts to crack down on smugglers. The Cuban government has often complained that the wet-feet, dry-feet policy encourages smuggling and that the US does not do enough to prosecute offenders.
Mellia said, "We're actively pursuing them. We're prosecuting them. And we're getting convictions."
But the exemption also raised the issue of compliance. The immigration agreement has no provision for granting permanent-residence status to undocumented Cubans who testify in US courts. William LeoGrande, an expert on Cuba policy at American University, said the exemption "sets a precedent that others will point to in terms of bringing to the States people under conditions not really included under the current policy."
Complicating the criminal case against the alleged smugglers are reports that among the missing were Fernandez Marrero's wife and two children. Relatives of the accused smuggler said he did not make the trip for money but to bring his family to Miami.
Bush said that, for the time being, the immigration policy would remain unchanged. "We're adhering to that policy while treating emergency cases with compassion," he said during an interview with The Miami Herald and other newspapers.
Sugar harvest lower than expected
Cuba's 2000-2001 sugar harvest failed to meet government projections of 3.7 million metric tons and was well short of the previous harvest. Sugar Minister Gen. Ulises Rosales del Toro said the harvest, which ended in late June, reached 3.532 million MT. The 1999-2000 harvest produced 4.05 million MT. Despite the setback, Sugar Ministry officials say they expect 4 million MT next year and have not abandoned the longer-term goal of returning to harvests averaging 7 million MT.
The modest yield was attributed to drought conditions followed by torrential rains, production inefficiencies, and shortages of spare parts.
The ministry has pursued a policy of closing inefficient mills and cutting overhead in other ways to produce crops at lower per-ton costs and diversifying into production of sugar derivatives (see CubaSource, 2000-07-10).
The Banco Central de Cuba said last year's sugar exports earned US$450 million. Despite lower output, the earnings are expected to be higher this year. Of the total crop, Cuba will export about 3 million MT. At the current world price of around US$250 per MT, Cuba could receive as much as US$750 million in export earnings.
Meanwhile, Cuba is expanding mixed-capital ventures in the industry with six new ones planned for this year.
At present, there are 10 joint-venture enterprises in the sugar industry with Mexican and EU investments in alcohol products and equipment for sugar production. New ventures created this year using capital from Ukraine and Belarus will begin work next season refining Cuban sugar in their respective countries.
A Sugar Ministry official said Cuba would be paid with tires, tractor parts, and other production supplies depending on the amount of sugar exported to those countries for refining.
A third enterprise, created with Brazilian capital, will supply technical services. A project planed in conjunction with French capital will build a plant for producing construction materials made partly out of cane residue (bagasse).

Architecture is a profession which requires high levels of specialized training before the individual may be considered ready for professional work. If someone were to ask, 'How long does it take to become an architect?', the answer would require some explanation because of the number of steps involved. If you are interested in learning this process to decide if architecture is the career for you, continue reading this guide.
Architecture is becoming more and more sophisticated with advances in technology, and the need to make structures more efficient in terms of energy consumption and materials. There is also a need to reduce the impact of these structures on our modern day environment. As a result, the field of architecture is growing at an above-average pace – 24 percent within this decade alone – corresponding to roughly 30,000 jobs. Those who wish to enter this profession should be observant of the fact that architects have to work long hours, often over 50 hours a week, in order to meet client expectations and beat deadlines. So while the earnings are high, the expected commitment to the job is also quite high.

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: The Sultan of Brunei, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, is among the royalty being invited by Malaysia to attend the installation of the 14th Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah.
The royal invitation was presented to the Sultan of Brunei by Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim, who is chairman of the Special Installation Committee, during an audience at Istana Nurul Iman here on Wednesday.
Rais, who was accompanied by his wife Datin Seri Masnah Rais and an installation committee delegation, arrived here on Tuesday for a two-day visit to deliver the invitation.
They were entertained at a luncheon hosted by Brunei's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade II Datuk Seri Lim Jock Seng at a restaurant in Jalan Kota Batu here.
Speaking to Malaysian reporters after the audience with the Brunei Sultan, Rais said relations between Malaysia and Brunei would be further strengthened through the visit to extend the royal invitation, which reflected the close ties of the royal institutions of both countries.
Rais said he and the installation committee would endeavour to ensure that the colourful ceremony proceed smoothly.
He said various programmes symbolising that "The Ruler and His Subjects Are Always Together (Raja dan Rakyat Berpisah Tiada)" had been drawn up such as the "Exhibition on Our King" and the programme "The King and the People".
"The symbols in the official ceremony, besides the component of the King as a representative of Parliament, are made up of the (Yang di-Pertuan) Agong, the Dewan Rakyat and the Senate, but many do not understand how these three key elements make up the legislative power, the power of the monarchy and the judiciary," he said.
April 11 has been declared a public holiday in Malaysia in conjunction with the installation. — Bernama

The Phantom of the Opera (Italian title: Il Fantasma dell'opera) is a 1998 Italian horror film directed by Dario Argento, adapted from the novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by Gaston Leroux. However, there are many differences between the book and the movie.
In Paris 1877, rats save an abandoned baby in a basket and raise him in the underground of the Opera de Paris. This child becomes The Phantom of the Opera (Julian Sands), a misanthrope who kills anyone who ventures into his underground chambers, just as rats are killed who venture above ground.

The pleasure of a bowl of pho is principally in the broth, which should be aromatic and round, a brew made of beef bones, sweet charred ginger, star anise, and cloves. The pho at Pho Sure—a jokey name predicated on a mispronunciation of the soup, which is actually pronounced "fuh"—wins more than half the battle with its properly beefy, flavorful broth. The restaurant makes three versions of the soup, but the notable addition to the pho genre this year is the mo pho, a steaming bowl replete with beef tendon, tongue, and penis, which looks disconcertingly like the human variety, and is soft, chewy and mild.

Forest Vs. Biofuels
Scientists from seven nations released a new study on Monday that finds clearing tropical forests in order to plant biofuels harms the environment by reducing animal and plant diversity.
Biofuels are considered greener than fossil fuels because plants absorb greenhouse gases from the atmosphere as they grow.
"Keeping tropical rain forests intact is a better way to combat climate change than replacing them with biofuel plantations," the scientists wrote in a report about the study.
In South East Asia, millions of hectares of forest land have been converted to palm oil plantations to produce biofuels.
The study, conducted by scientists from the U.S., Netherlands, Malaysia, Germany, Indonesia, Britain and Denmark, was unveiled on the opening day of a meeting in Poland of 187 nations that seek consensus on a new U.N. climate treaty.
According to the research, it would take 75 years for carbon emissions saved from the use of biofuels to compensate for carbon released into the atmosphere by burning down a forest to clear it for a biofuel plantation. And if the habitat was carbon-rich peatland, it would take more than 600 years to reach the break even point.
However, the study found that planting biofuels on degraded grasslands could lead to a net removal of carbon after only ten years.
"Sourcing biofuel feedstock from crops such as palm oil simply doesn't make environmental sense," Emily Fitzherbert from the University of East Anglia, one of the study's authors, told Reuters.
The spread of biofuel plantations in Asia has also resulted in a loss of habitat for species such as orangutans and rhinos, the report said.
However, the problems are not just in South East Asia.
"In Latin America, forests are being cleared for soy production which is even less efficient at biofuel production compared to oil palm," said co-author Faizal Parish of the Global Environment Center.
"Subsidies to purchase tropical biofuels are given by countries in Europe and North America supposedly to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions from transport," said the study's lead author, Finn Danielsen, of Denmark's Nordic Agency for Development and Ecology.
The researchers said that only one in six forest animal species could survive in plantations. Furthermore, plants species that thrive alongside palm oil in plantations are typically the ones that like bright sunshine, while forest species such as orchids, lianas, native palms and others that favor shade die out.
The authors recommend the development of common global standards for the sustainable production of biofuels, and suggest that reducing deforestation is a preferable approach for countries to fight climate change while meeting their obligations to protect biodiversity.
The study was published in the journal Conservation Biology.

A few hours change in sleep patterns might not seem like a big deal. But for members of the Navy's silent service, it could have major implications. The Navy has given commanders the green light to change submariners' sleep schedules, so that they more closely resemble life above the ocean's service. Now, sailors' work days will begin every 24 hours, instead of every 18 hours. Lt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for the submarine force, told Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp what prompted the changes.

This place is wonderful, we met the owner, he is increable, the service was thr best, the food wonderful and we had a large group who he treated like family, this is a gem of a place and everyone who visit's maui must visit this place! So rather than head to the mass tourist places ( where I found to be much more expensive and the food and service was not always the best ) go visit the place, and do not be fooled if the place has little people in it, that makes it even more privet aspeacily if you are on a honeymoon, and you might get lucky and meet the owner who we hope to see again when we re-visit Maui, he is an amazing man!

VACCINATED News Article
September 1, 2010
Given a set of hospital admittance and death records, the VAST 2010 Mini Challenge 2 was to characterize the spread of a pandemic in terms of the attack and mortality rates, spatiotemporal patterns of onset and the recovery time. We began the analysis by preprocessing the hospital admittance records using the University of Pittsburgh's CoCo classifier that takes hospital admittance text fields and classifies them into chief complaint categories. Once the data was classified, we utilized and extended the work done by the Purdue University Visual Analytics Center on healthcare analysis. Our system consisted of a combination of linked views, showing time series views of syndromes and death rates through line graph views, stacked graph views showing deaths, geographical map views showing the impact by country, and summary windows providing statistical breakdowns of the data. All views are linked through an interactive time slider that allows users to explore the data over time. Extensions to our previous work include the stacked graph view, summary windows, new control chart methods, and an interactive 'tape measure' tool.
Our system won an award in the Support for Future Detection Category. Our team members included Abish Malik, Shehzad Afzal, Dr. David S. Ebert and Dr. Ross Maciejewski from Purdue University and Erin Hodgess from the University of Houston - Downtown.

Bacterium Uses Natural 'Thermometer' To Trigger Diarrheal Disease
How does the bacterium Shigella–the cause of a deadly diarrheal disease–detect that it's in a human host? Ohio University scientists have found that a biological "RNA thermometer" monitors whether the environment is right for the bacterium to produce the factors it needs to survive within the body, according to a study published May 21 in the journal PLOS ONE.
The scientists have been seeking more information about the genetic pathways of Shigella in the hope of finding new treatment options for the disease it causes. Shigellosis kills more than a million people worldwide each year and is becoming more resistant to antibiotics, said Erin Murphy, an assistant professor in Ohio University's Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine.
The recent study led by Murphy and Andrew Kouse, a doctoral student in molecular and cellular biology, found that when Shigella was in a 37 degree Celsius environment (or at "body temperature"), it efficiently produced the ShuA protein from the corresponding messenger RNA molecule. The bacterium needs the ShuA protein to obtain iron from heme, the most abundant source of this essential nutrient within the human body. Without iron, the invading Shigella would not survive, Murphy explained.
At room temperature, 25 degrees Celsius, production of the ShuA protein from the corresponding messenger RNA was inhibited. The scientists suggest that the structure of the RNA thermometer was blocking genetic expression by preventing protein synthesis.
"This may be an evolutionary adaptation, as it would be wasteful for the bacterium to make this protein before it was in the host," Murphy said.
But once at body temperature, part of the structure of the thermometer "melts away," she said, triggering the bacterium to synthesize the ShuA protein.
The new study marks the first time that researchers have observed a "RNA thermometer" in the Shigella bacterium.
This particular thermometer belongs to a subclass called "FourU RNA thermometers" that was first characterized by study co-author Franz Narberhaus of the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany. These thermometers have been identified in only two other bacteria, Salmonella and Yersinia, both of which can cause serious human illnesses.
"I find it fascinating that an entirely new class of genes has been found to be controlled by an RNA thermometer," Narberhaus said.
Now that the scientists have identified the RNA thermometer in the ShuA gene, they'll look for this structure in the other genes that regulate Shigella's ability to survive in the human host and cause disease.
"The findings could have practical implications for drug design," Murphy said.

Well liked in this house
posted 6 years ago
My dogs love can food. However, I only give them can food once in a while and only as a topper on their dry. I split one can of dog food for four dogs.
I like giving them Wellness can. the Wellness 95% Venison is grain freed, no by-products, no corn, no soy, no artificial colors or flavors. It is one of the most natural can food you can find.
You should let your dog try it. I bet they will love it.
Pros: natural, grain free
Cons: price

Property Details
3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, easily sleeps 6 to 8 people
Black "Beary" Cabin, an incredible vacation retreat, is located just off of Bear Wallow Mountain Road, near Hendersonville, North Carolina.
Now with High Speed Internet
Black "Beary" Cabin is a spacious 3 bed/2.5 bath log home that easily sleeps 8 people. A full basement game room provides entertainment for visitors of all ages. The covered front porch and open back porch deck complete with hot tub invites hours of outdoor conversation and the sounds of nature.
Recently constructed, Black "Beary" Cabin is a short scenic drive to many Western North Carolina wonders and attractions including: Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Apple Valley, the Pisgah National Forest, the Biltmore Mansion and Asheville, to name a few. The altitude is approximately 2900 feet above sea level, which makes for a short climb up, however not too daunting for low landers. The town of Hendersonville is nearby and boasts many fine restaurants, shopping, antiques, parks, and street concerts.
Guest Book Comments: Richard, I just wanted to tell you that we had a wonderful time at your cabin. I was a little skeptical about renting a place we had never seen from someone we had never met, particularly with having to pay the full cost so far in advance. I am glad that I took the chance because the cabin and the location were all that I hoped for. We had a great time in the game room and really enjoyed the outdoor hot but. Actually, the cabin and surroundings were perfect and exactly as advertised. I hope to rent from you again next year. :)
We enjoyed our time in the mountains and at the cabin. It is very nice indeed!
Guest Book Comments: Mr. Singer,
I had to email to tell you how much my husband and I enjoyed our stay at your wonderful home!!! We were very impressed with the accommodations. The cabin was awesome and the surroundings were breathtaking! The time provided us with some much needed rest and relaxation. We are considering a return visit March 21st – 23rd, 2008. I see that the cabin is available during this time and I'd like to know what the cost would be. Thanks again so very much!
Just wanted to let you know we thought the cabin was great!! We really enjoyed the game room. Hope we can use it again sometime.
Thanks again!
Hi Richard,
We returned yesterday from a most wonderful stay in the NC mountains....perfect weather, glorious fall colors, not much traffic anywhere.....loved it! Drove back via the Smokies....I've never seen such RED before....so many sugar maples at their peak....what a treat! The drought scared us into thinking there wouldn't be any color ANY where, so we were thrilled!
Guest Book Comments: Richard, we had a great time at the cabin, very nice weather and the cabin was nice as promised. Had no problems at all, other than it took some time to figure out the fireplace….We really enjoyed the fact that it was "off the beaten path" and up a solitary winding mountain road after a scenic drive.
Just wanted to tell you want a wonderful time we had at your cabin this past weekend. It truly lived up to my expectations and beyond!!

Guestbook comments from the manager
What a great cabin. It was exactly as described. Extremely well outfitted. There is even a supply of DVD's! My teenage boys loved it! The air-hockey and ping pong tables provided a great diversion on the one rainy day we had. The cabin is definitely away-from-it-all but within 30-60 minutes of tons of hiking trails . . . Chimney Rock, Pisgah Forest and DuPont State Forest. The hot tub is a great way to rejuvenate after a hike. The directions to the place were perfect. We only had one minor problem . . . animals were getting into the garbage left outside by the previous renters. Within minutes of calling to ask what we should do, the garbage was removed! I would definitely recommend this place to friends. Hope to make a return visit in the future.

Sen. Leahy won't head Appropriations Committee
Sen. Patrick Leahy said Wednesday he would remain as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee rather than take over the top slot on the Appropriations Committee, which became vacant this week with the death of Sen. Daniel Inouye.
Leahy, a seven-term Democrat from Vermont, said in a statement that continuing to chair the Judiciary Committee while "maintaining my seniority on the Appropriations Committee will allow me to protect both the Constitution and Vermont."

Raytheon is pressing ahead with unmanned air vehicle weaponisation, successfully flight-testing the Small Tactical Munition (STM) at the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona recently, the company says.
The 0.6m-long (2ft), 13lb (5.9kg) bomb – the smallest in the company's extensive weapons complement – was specifically designed for UAV use. The dual-mode, semi-active laser seeker and GPS inertial navigation system enable it to engage fixed and moving targets in all weather conditions, the company says. STM is based in large part on the Griffin missile, a 84cm (33in), 19kg motorised weapon developed two years ago by Raytheon.
During the Yuma trials, two STMs were tested on two separate passes from the company's home-grown Cobra UAV. The GPS system guided each glide weapon to a mid-course position, from where the design's semi-active laser seeker guided them to their targets, "achieving all test objectives," Raytheon says.
The US Marine Corps recently released a request for information on options for weaponising its small, quiet Shadow UAV in the near future. "This is perfect for Shadow because it is also very quiet" Raytheon says. "It comes in without any noise whatsoever." The Cobra was chosen in part for the tests because it is in the same class as Shadow.
The company plans on continuing testing next year with the expectation that the Marines' RFI will move forward into a request for proposals. US Special Operations command has also expressed interest in precision weapons for small UAVs. "They're going to want something really fast," Raytheon says "We want to be ready." The company estimates needing 12 to 18 months to get STM production lines running at quantity.

NSG Precision Cells Opens the Spigot with its New Line of Water Decontamination Products
NSG Precision Cells, world leader in the spectroscopy industry, is proud to announce they launched their exclusive water decontamination machines. These units are built for home use or for industrial use and offer the cleanest, healthiest water available.
Farmingdale, NY (PRWEB) September 02, 2012
After years of meticulous research, NSG Precision Cells is proud to announce its new venture in the field of water decontamination products for both home and laboratory use. The importance of clean water in laboratories is unquestionable. Water is by far the most commonly used solvent in laboratories, making up an overwhelming mass of most solutions. Therefore, quality control is paramount.
In response, NSG´s R&D department has produced the ultimate solution for decontamination of water in the laboratory in the form of its Combined Ultra-Pure and RO Water Purification Systems. Drawing on Crystal Source CDT10 technology, which the Water Quality Association awarded a Gold Seal Certificate in 2011, it provides a number of unique, high-quality advantages to the laboratory.
Unlike other water decontamination systems, no disposable filters are required for the removal of suspended solids, giving users a substantial savings as there is no need to replace costly filter cartridges. NSG´s 1 year manufacturer´s warranty is also in effect with extended warranties available. The Combined Ultra-Pure and RO comes in 3 separate flow options- 1.32 gallons/hour, 2.64 gallons/hour, and 5.28 gallons/hour. Laboratories engaging in biochemical analysis, reagent preparation, microbiology media preparation and others will benefit greatly from these water decontamination system.
For heavier water decontamination, NSG´s Process and Waste-Water Biological and Chemical Decontamination and Remediation [link] system is the go-to solution. Filtering out a diverse array of chemicals, organic contaminants, and agricultural contaminants, the Process and Waste-Water Biological and Chemical Decontamination and Remediation comes in 2 standard models- the BCDR- 3.5 (3.5gallons/minute) and the BCDR-7 (7gallons/minute) as well as an option for customers to have their own custom models built.
Finally, the Safe and Beyond Water Filter for Laboratory or Home Use (SAB) provides a breakthrough home solution for customers looking to filter out harmful contaminants from their water supply such as chlorine, chemicals, lithium, chloride, suspended solids and microorganisms. The SAB is currently the only practical water decontamination product on the market that brings the user´s water supply to within health ranges as stipulated by the FDA and EPA.
Home users will find that by using the SAB filter they will never need to purchase bottled water again, saving them hundreds possibly even thousands of dollars per year. The filter life varies upon how much contamination is in the user's water, but NSG recommends replacing the SAB-B filter about once a year.
The SAB comes in 2 basic configurations: basic and advanced. The Basic SAB (SAB-B) significantly reduces a broad spectrum of residual chemical contamination which routinely passes through municipal and private water purification systems, including Reverse Osmosis Systems. The Advanced (SAB-A) goes even further, eliminating bacteria, protozoa and fungus contamination of drinking water, which otherwise often occurs as a result of imperfection of water distribution systems and frequently occurring malfunctions at water purification facilities. The SAB can easily be installed on a wall, on the floor or in an under-sink cabinet and hiring a licensed plumber is not required.
NSG Precision Cells seeks to build on its longstanding reputation in the field of spectroscopy and its tireless dedication to its customers by providing the highest quality water decontamination products available on the market today. Customers will be impressed not only by the unmatched quality but also the competitive prices that current NSG customers have come to expect.

Over the past year or so I've lost five friends. About one every two or three months and it sucks. I don't want to bring you down, but every so often I think about those friends and what they meant to me.

I am a novice home brewer. There I said it. I am attempting to get better. Really that's the crux. I have brewed off an on for about a decade but can't seem to crawl out of the beginning stages of my brewing career. I've brewed some decent beers – beginners luck turned my first ever brew, a hopped up Pale ale, into my all-time favorite beer. But I've also brewed some duds and encountered some really strange outcomes – including an oddly sour hefeweizen – I don't want to talk about (but I will, of course).
Like many home brewers, I came to the hobby via the craft beer explosion in this country. The experience of tasting really good beers created a curiosity in me about all things beer-related. It wasn't too long before I was at a home brew supply shop getting my supplies and requisite copy of The Joy of Homebrewing, along with a handful of pointers from the friendly owner.
Despite all the years I've been doing it I'm no expert. In fact, I've got a lot to learn. Sure I've been brewing for 10 years. But, I've got no flow. I brew a handful of times a year and each time I seem to need to re-learn a portion of what I've forgotten since I last brewed. Thrown into the mix are a day job, a night job and two small children to wrangle – a one year old and four year old. I realize that kids aren't necessarily an impediment to brewing but in my case they are a distraction (albeit a happy one) from my pursuit of the perfect brew. My goal of brewing on a regular basis has moved off the front burner.
But no more! As we all know, the best way to learn is by doing. Therefore, with the launch of this blog I am setting out to go from novice to intermediate to, someday, expert. Fingers crossed. Here, I'll share my successes and inevitable – let's not call them failures – missteps. I will provide details on what a novice brewer can do to get better, whether it's tweaking a recipe by one ingredient per batch; utilizing a particularly useful tool; or reviewing some of the helpful brewing literature out there. I may even attempt to grow hops in my big back yard. Come along with me as I struggle, stumble and, hopefully, learn how to become a better home brewer....
I'm sure everyone that is old to enough to ride a bicycle has been subjected to the overused cliche that patience is a virtue dozens, if not hundreds of times. During the last 3 months of 2011 I got a chance to test this time honored theory out. My hiatus from this blog during the holiday season was indeed intentional, as I did not want to burden you with the tedious details about the roadblocks we were dealing with trying to get this brewery going. Now that we have entered the new year, allow me to make amends and give you the scoop.
I know I mentioned our search for a new location the last time around and the ironic part is that we decided to give it one more try at the original spot. Our two major issues were the existing septic system shared by the business complex and the inability to sell pints out of that building due to zoning restrictions. Thanks to the wonderful people at the county office, our wastewater consultant and a coffee shop in downtown Mariposa going out of business, those problems have been solved! We now have an approved permit for our own leach field and a perfect space to convert into taproom.
The other major hurdle we had was really a result of how much steam this craft brewing industry has gotten. Due to the high demand for the construction of professional brewing equipment, our manufacturer of choice had not only gotten a ton of orders from that last time we spoke, but their prices also went up! After about a month of going back and forth on delivery date and pricing, the time finally came for THE decision. Everyone knew that once the system was ordered and a deposit was put down, there was no turning back. Two days before Christmas, I received the call that the sales agreement was signed and that this thing was really going to happen. Merry Xmas to me!
So what does this all mean? Since I began chronicling this journey nearly 2 years ago, I made it clear that my ultimate end game was to open a small brewery. Thanks to my education (Thank you UC Davis), my public display of creative expression (Thank you BYO Magazine), an email from one of my soon to be partners (Thank you Terry), my drive and last but certainly not least, patience.... it is now finally a reality. In a months time I'll be packing my bags and heading into unfamiliar territory both literally and figuratively. It's scary, it's exciting and I couldn't be happier that I'm going to doing what I hope is truly my labor of love for many years to come.
For those of you that have followed this blog, I would like to say to that it has been a pleasure sharing this time in my life with you. Since there is already a very good blog being written about the trials and tribulations of a budding new brewery for BYO, I shall close the curtain on this one. That being said, you can bet you haven't heard the last of me!
If you happen to take a trip out to Yosemite National Park later this year, feel free to stop by Prospectors Brewing Co. in Mariposa and have a beer or two. You can say you know the Brewmaster. We're hoping to be open by mid/late summer.
James Spencer and I are happy to announce the next in our series of Brew Your Own/Basic Brewing Radio collaborative experiments. We have two experiments this time, and you can participate in both (or either) by simply brewing a single batch of beer.
Experiment 1 -- How does trub in the fermenter affect your beer?
For homebrewers who use immersion chillers, after boiling and chilling wort, they must transfer it to their fermenter. (If a plate chiller or counterflow chiller is used, chilling and transfer happen simultaneously.) Some homebrewers try to minimize the amount of trub (protein, hop material and other "gunk" at the bottom of the kettle) that gets transferred and just rack clear wort. Others, thinking that the yeast may reap a nutritional benefit from some trub carryover, rack some trub to their fermenter along with the wort.
In our collaborative experiment, we want to test if beer made from clear wort vs. wort with some trub in the fermenter can be distinguished. And, if they can, we want to find out what the differences are.
For any homebrewer who wants to participate, the experiment is simple -- all you need to do is brew one batch of beer and ferment equal amounts of wort in two identical fermenters. After boiling and cooling, whirlpool the wort and let the trub settle. Transfer half of the wort to your first fermenter, taking care not to pick up any trub. Transfer the rest of the wort to the second fermenter, carrying over a substantial amount of trub. (It's up to you to decide how much, just write down an estimate when you do. For example, "half the trub" or "2 quarts.') If you have a plate chiller or counter-flow chiller, you will need to let the wort in one of the fermenters settle, then rack the clear wort into another fermenter....

Police Video Shows Power Explosions at Wells Beach
There's no question that it's been a weird weather year in Maine. The experts are watching waterways around the state for possible flooding. And, with the rain we've had this week, some are already overflowing their banks. Like in this video from Wells Beach, where a storm surge caused some dramatic power explosions.

FORT LEWIS, Wash. -It was the first mission Specialist Mike Ballard had ever gone on in Afghanistan. It turned out to be his last, at least for 2009.
Specialist Ballard broke his leg, and injured his hip and knee when an improvised explosive device blew up beneath the Stryker he was riding in August 16.
I've never felt that kind of pain before, Specialist Ballard told KING 5 News.
Specialist Ballard was deployed to Afghanistan with the 5th Stryker Brigade in July. A month later he survived the explosion that he knows could have killed him.
I know how extremely lucky I am, said Specialist Ballard.
He's been assigned to Fort Lewis' Warrior Transition Battalion while he recovers from his injuries.
Specialist Ballard hopes to be good enough to return to Afghanistan sometime in 2010.
He's aware this October has been the deadliest month for Americans fighting in Afghanistan.
That's why he wants to go back as soon as possible.
When they're getting hurt, said Specialist Ballard, That's when I'm needed the most. I'm stuck here and I can't go back there now.

Latest Cold dark matter Stories
By observing colliding galaxies with the ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have found evidence suggesting for the first time that dark matter may interact with other dark matter in a way other than through gravity.
A team of Australian astrophysicists has determined that the Milky Way has half as much dark matter as previously thought, according to a new study published in the Astrophysical Journal.
Scientists believe they have found a way to explain why there are not as many galaxies orbiting the Milky Way as expected.
For decades, the mystery of Dark Matter has been at the forefront of physics research. Since the 1930s, scientists have been aware that all of the mass that we can see – the stars, the dust, the planets, and black holes – makes up only 20 percent of the Universe.
A research team is hunting for a theorized but never-before-seen elementary particle called an axion that may be at the heart of dark matter.
Researchers found that the density of the dark matter was greater near the center of the galaxy clusters, on average, gradually becoming more diffuse moving out towards the cluster's edge. This is consistent with a cold dark matter model, which, along with other evidence, has been the leading candidate theory for some years.
Scientists at the institute have found that a phenomenon known as "cosmic web stripping" is responsible for the lack of dwarf galaxies near the Milky Way that should be there according to the theory of cold dark matter and dark energy.
Astronomers have developed an algorithm that is able to chart and explain accurately the structure and dynamics of the universe.
Two teams of astronomers have used data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes to map the distribution of dark matter in a galaxy cluster known as Abell 383, which is located about 2.3 billion light years from Earth.
Like all galaxies, our Milky Way is home to a strange substance called dark matter. Dark matter is invisible, betraying its presence only through its gravitational pull.

I believe you hinted at an interesting view on this topic in the original post: you had already owned your boat for several years and made up your mind about many things.
Sometimes I think it's a mistake for "new" sailors to spend much time online reading about "my new 44 footer" and "I'm so glad we're not smashed in the 28 footer any more." If you took this at face value, it would seem like no one would cruise anywhere on a smaller boat.
It's obvious that only a percentage of cruisers are going to stay with a smaller boat for all of their sailing lives, but that doesn't mean that starting with a smaller boat isn't a bad idea. The best way to find out is to have a cool Vega 27 for a couple of years, and find out.
We were perfectly happy chartering an Islander 28 with two kids aboard, and I think we could have cruised for a month in Puget Sound on her. We did similar trips on our C&C 27, and that affected the "size discussion" of our next boat purchase (a 34 foot) for our growing kids.
Anyway, I think too many of us "over research" boats and should simply buy small to begin (something we can easily afford) with the idea of letting go of it in a year or two if it's not a right fit. The idea of "getting the lifetime boat," especially at the start, is pretty misleading.
Sensible Cruising is a great book, even if it could use an update. (Disclaimer-- I have been pushing my brother to find an Albin Vega for his next boat.)

School's almost out here in New Jersey which means that many will indeed be heading for the Jersey shore. The FDA announced new rules on Tuesday to clarify which sunscreens provide the best protection against the sun and also discounted manufacturers' claims that they are waterproof.
To be said to offer "broad spectrum" protection, sunscreens must now protect against both two kinds of the sun's radiation, UVB and UVA. Only sunscreens that have an SPF of 15 or higher can make the claims that they help to prevent sunburn and also reduce the risks of skin cancer and early skin aging. Both types of radiation cause cancer: UVB radiation causes burning while UVA rays causes wrinkling.
As the New York Times notes, the rules have been under FDA consideration since 1978. The sunscreen industry is a $680 million domestic market and manufacturers are seeking to expand, noting that there are numerous other sunscreen agents approved in Europe and Japan, but not yet in the US. That may not be a bad thing, considering the statistics for skin cancer and the likelihood that people are likely to expose themselves to more of the sun's rays, if they think they are using more potent sunscreens. As the New York Times points out:
More than two million people in the United States are treated each year for the two most common types of skin cancer, basal cell and squamous cell, and more than 68,000 receive a diagnosis of melanoma, the most deadly form of the disease. Sunscreens have not been shown to prevent the first case of basal cell carcinoma, but they delay reoccurrences of basal cell and have been shown to prevent squamous cell and melanoma.
Federal regulators aren't yet finished screening sunscreens as they have "yet to decide whether to end an SPF arms race in which manufacturers are introducing sunscreens with SPF numbers of 70, 80 and 100 even though such lotions offer little more protection than those with an SPF of 50." Dr. Warwick L. Morison, a professor of dermatology at Johns Hopkins University and chairman of the photobiology committee for the Skin Cancer Foundation, expressed dismay that the FDA has not banned SPF numbers over 50 as "such products expose people to more irritating sunscreen ingredients without meaningful added protection."
The best protection against sunburn is of course, to minimize exposure to the sun and to even avoid the sun altogether. That's not possible in my household, as my son loves the beach and to be active outside. That means my blond and blue-eyed (Irish American) husband has to be out with him: We have bottles of sunscreen all over the house and in the car, as my husband has to use the stuff even in the winter. A teenage memory of being burnt to a proverbial crisp while visiting relatives in southern California taught him to always slather on the sunscreen (and to wear a hat).
So after you take your dip in the waves, too, make sure you use your common sense and reapply the sunscreen which, as the FDA reminds us, does wash away in the water.

Great info
National Public Radio had an excellent interview with a scientist on this topic, and many callers' questions were answered: Listen to it here-
Also, it's fairly obvious in this uncredited photo that the baby has food on his face, not sunscreen.
"Avoid the sun altogether?"
This another Care2 article that is not well researched nor providing sound advice. As well-known Dr. Joseph Mercola says: "sunscreen blocks your body's production of vitamin D. Most brands contain toxic free radical generators which I believe can increase your risk of disease." If you are interested in researching what is best for you and your family, start here: http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/19/The-Sunscreen-Myth-How-Sunscreen-Products-Actually-Promote-Cancer.aspx
Sun exposure is very important to reducing cancers - such as breast and colorectal cancers. Burns are always bad, but zero sun exposure is also dangerous. Sunscreens are full of toxins that cause, not prevent cancer. Arm yourself with the facts.
Most sunscreen contain toxic ingredients, and you want to slather your kid with those?
Do your research before using anything on the shelf. Yes, Valerie, the brands you mention are full of cancer causing junk.
Check out the Environmental Working Group's website (EWG) for safe sunscreens.
Plenty of them. You just have to know the names!
Thanks Kristina.
Most sunscreens have cancer causing ingredients so do your research and get a product that doesn't.
thanks for the info
a good read! thanks.
thankx it's good to be aware especially for children

Go-Kart TrackRead MoreGo-Kart Track is precisely what it sounds like?an outdoor go-kart track designed for drivers and passengers of nearly all ages. Broken up into six-lap sessions, each turn on the windy track lets visitors put the pedal to the metal as they hug corners and zip past stacks of tires, which serve as a reminder to the go-karts what happens to them if they misbehave. Open on weekends year-round, plus weekdays from March??September, Go-Kart Track hosts single- and double-kart races both during the day and beneath the lights and the moon's rubbernecking at night. Visitors ages 8 and older and 54 inches or taller can drive the single carts; however, only visitors ages 18 and up can pilot a double kart, but kids as young as 3 can ride along.4300 Kenilworth AvenueBladensburg, MD US
Six Flags AmericaRead MoreSix Flags America offers unabashed family fun. The massive park includes 60 different attractions, ranging from roller coasters to water slides. The Mardi Gras section of the park will soon expand to include the new Bourbon Street Fireball coaster, while a DC Superhero section features rides themed around Superman and Batman.13710 Central AveUpper Marlboro, MD US

Terrapin AdventuresRead MoreTerrapin Adventures never fails to live up to its name—even their swing set gets the stomach fluttering with excitement. To be fair, though, the swing in question is anything but the traditional apparatus you'd find at a city park. It seats three people and starts its trajectory 40 feet above the ground, generating 2Gs of force as it swishes riders back and forth over the landscape. The park's other attractions are equally exhilarating. On the high ropes course, visitors attached to sturdy safety harnesses cross 18 traverses situated between lofty platforms; some must be tackled via a rickety bridge, while others require leaps of faith. The 43-foot high climbing tower offers 10 routes up and down, including a head-first downward climb over the Rainbow Serpent. Otherwise, the 330-foot-long zipline sends visitors gliding through the treetops at speeds of up to 20 mph, fast enough to beat the USA track team's star squirrel.8600 Foundry St.Savage, MD US
XP Laser SportRead MoreThis sort of deft dodging is required at the 5,000-square-foot arena in Owings Mills. Teams compete in one of ten missions during each game of Frontal Assault tactical laser tag, which are inspired by popular video games such as Call of Duty and Battlefield. The snack bar at XP Laser Sport reenergizes players with Polar Shock slushies and personal pizzas. Meanwhile, windmills, loops, and carousels obstruct the path of LED mini-golf balls tumbling down the nine-hole indoor course. The facility's projection screens broadcast the latest angry faces of professional sports coaches, and two 25-foot screens let up to eight guests compete in Xbox 360 games such as Mortal Kombat.14705 Baltimore AveLaurel, MD US
The Adventure Park at Sandy SpringRead MoreThe Adventure Park at Sandy Spring's 13 courses are color-coded by difficulty level, from yellow for beginners to double black diamonds for experts. They aren't ski trails, though?they're climbing challenges. More than 150 platforms adorn 5 acres of trees, which participants trek among by way of cable, wood, and rope bridges, as well as ziplines. A short safety briefing precedes all excursions, covering how to use the included gear and harnesses. The park's main courses aren't the only place to test climbing skills. Over in the Monkey Grove, visitors can scale 10 trees fastened with the footholds and grips of a classic rock wall. Younger climbers, meanwhile, can explore The Labyrinth, a small, contained structure featuring more than 40 junior-sized versions of the park's other challenges. The courses illuminate on select Glow-in-the-Park evenings, when food, live music, and hoot-owl choruses await climbers upon their return to terra firma.16701 Norwood Rd.Sandy Spring, MD US

Eagles hold off Palm Beach State, deliver Barnes' 250th TCC winDecember 14, 2013
OCALA, Fla. (December 14, 2013) – FCSAA No. 7 Tallahassee Community College overcame a cold-shooting second half and held on to defeat Palm Beach State College, 66-63, on day one of the annual Florida College's Men's Basketball Shootout, hosted by the College of Central Florida.
The win, Tallahassee's (8-4) third straight, was head coach Eddie Barnes' 250th victory as head coach of the Eagles. He now needs just eight wins to match Mike Gillespie's total of 258 victories as head coach at Tallahassee.
Saturday's win, like many on Barnes' Tallahassee ledger, was a grinder.
The Eagles led 36-31 at the half and extended their margin to 43-35 early in the second stanza before enduring a cold stretch offensively. That allowed the Panthers to claw their way back into the game and eventually take a brief 47-46 lead near the midway point of the second half.
Tallahassee had an answer, however. The Eagles regained their shooting touch just enough and knocked down some key free throws to open a 60-53 lead in the closing minutes before fending off a last-ditch rally from Palm Beach State.
Tallahassee actually shot more free throws (21) than field goals (18) in the second half. The Eagles were 6-of-18 from the floor and 14-of-21 from the charity stripe after the intermission.
Earvin Morris led the Eagles in scoring with 20 points. Dirk Williams scored 15 and Cameron Naylor added 14.
Tallahassee will wrap up play in the Shootout on Sunday with a 6 p.m. game against Broward College, who defeated Hillsborough Community College, 87-69, on Saturday.
Sunday's game can be seen on NJCAA TV.
