Keep it neat…no leaves and grass in the street
It's so tempting to just blow or rake leaves directly into the street and out of your yards.
You're probably thinking, why keep leaves and grass clippings off the street? The answer is simple. It's very bad for our water quality and can create hazardous street conditions. Leaves and grass clippings clog storm drains, causing flooding during storms both in the streets and in our waterways.
Leaves in storm drains also contribute unwanted nutrients into streams and lakes, which ultimately decreases our water quality. Storm drains empty directly into nearby surface waters without treatment, making it imperative that only rainwater enters them.
If that were notenough to convince you to properly dispose of your leaves, keep in mind that leaves in our streets causes our community to look untidy. More important, City of Durham's street sweepers could come along and suck up the leaves. This may seem helpful, but in fact, the leaves make the sweepers less efficient by forcing them to work harder to collect litter and debris beneath the leaves. Debris collected by street sweepers is not compostable in the same way leaves are. As a result of litter contamination, it is considered "municipal solid waste" and must go into the landfill with other trash.
Durham street sweepers collected 6.4 million pounds of debris last year. While this is an important way to clear litter and debris from our streets, it is no substitute for prevention. Residents can help by keeping the street and drains near their property clean and clear of litter, leaves and grass clippings.
How can you dispose of leaves properly?
-- Compost your leaves on your own property. In mowing season, leave grass clippings on your lawn to act as fertilizer.
-- Hire a yard service that properly disposes of leaves.
-- Take your leaves to the City of Durham transfer station for a prorated fee of $26.50 per ton.
-- City residents can become yard waste customers and rent a cart for a $78 annual fee. Yard waste customers may place up to 10 additional biodegradable brown bags filled with leaves alongside yard waste carts each week.
-- County residents with a current 2013 decal can dispose of yard waste at the Bahama, Redwood, and Parkwood Convenience Sites. Visit the County's website at www.dconc.gov/recycling for more information.
Remember, burning leaves is not allowed in the city or county due to fire hazard and air quality concerns.
Leaves and other yard waste collected from city yard waste customers are ground up for volume reduction and transported to another compost facility that turns them into valuable products such as fertilizer amendments.

June 2002

The Enron/Anderson debacle has resulted in a legislative and regulatory
examination of whether 401(k) and retirement plan fiduciaries, who are often
also executives at the company sponsoring the plan, are equipped for their
jobs as fiduciaries either on account of potential conflicts of interest
or ignorance about their responsibilities.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), the pension
law governing 401(k) and retirement plans, does not require ERISA fiduciaries
to have legal, investment or administrative expertise. Their primary responsibility
is to "oversee" the plans which includes a duty to demonstrate prudence
in the selection and retention of outside experts they hire, ensuring that
assets are "prudently" invested and otherwise protecting participants' interests
by making sure that the plans are operated and administered in accordance
with their terms and the requirements of ERISA and the qualification provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code").
Problems with the ERISA fiduciary system have been around since its enactment
in 1974. This is because ERISA's statutory provisions allow a corporate
officer of a plan sponsor to also serve as a plan fiduciary and enforcement
of the law depends on the monitoring of ERISA's self-dealing and other prohibited
transaction provisions by the Department of Labor ("DOL") and the courts.
(See ERISA Sections 406(b) and 408(c)(3)). Although the number of fiduciary
breach cases brought by the DOL has remained relatively steady in recent
years (totaling 2,500 cases for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2001), the
number of cases involving 401(k) plans has increased as the result of the
recent economic downturn and the growing prevalence of employers becoming
delinquent in required contributions and the proper administration of plans.
Also, plan participants are complaining more as the stock market slump has
sent the value of plans plunging. As more high-profile accounting scandals
came to light, from Enron to Global Crossing to Rite Aid, lawyers are expanding
the focus of lawsuits to company directors, executives and other plan fiduciaries.
Even plan advisors have been particularly hard hit. For example, major actuarial
firms have been so hurt by litigation that they have been unable to obtain
adequate insurance and are asking plans to accept a liability cap of $250,000
and seeking indemnification from plan fiduciaries.
In addition to the increasing potential for litigation from the DOL and
plan participants, the DOL and IRS are increasing their audit activity and
examination of 401(k) and retirement plans. In particular, the IRS has made
significant policy changes in recent years relating to compliance and enforcement
in the qualified retirement plan area. Under the IRS Employee Plans Closing
Agreement Program ("CAP"), draconian monetary sanctions can be imposed on
the sponsor of a qualified retirement plan for failure to operate its qualified
plans in compliance with the qualification requirements of the Code or for
failure to follow the terms of plan documents even if the plan operations
otherwise comply with the Code's qualification requirements. In many instances
the amount of CAP monetary sanctions will be substantial (possibly millions
of dollars) since the required payment amount is based on the total amount
of tax that would be imposed on the employer, trust and participants if
the plan were disqualified.
The spectre of a government audit and participant litigation is particularly
threatening in the event of a bankruptcy or other restructuring situations.
For example, the filing of a petition for bankruptcy will trigger the DOL
to initiate an audit. Additionally, the filing of an IRS determination letter
application for qualification upon plan termination in order to effectuate
distributions also triggers an IRS Audit. In fact, the DOL has created an
enforcement initiative entitled the "Rapid ERISA Action Team for Bankruptcy"
or REACT. Under REACT, the DOL initiates audits based on the filing of the
petition, newspaper articles regarding the bankruptcy and/or participant
calls with respect to the bankruptcy filings.
Exacerbating the audit dilemma is the fact that the Creditor's Committee
in a bankruptcy situation often will not permit distributions to participants
from a 401(k) or other retirement plan (leading invariably to litigation
and/or complaints to the DOL and IRS) until it receives "iron clad assurances"
that the bankruptcy estate will not be held liable in the event the IRS
determines that the plan is not tax qualified and/or requires that operational
errors be corrected in the future. The debtor is also concerned about the
tax-qualified status of the pension, 401(k) or other retirement plan since
it is representing to the IRS that the plan is qualified when it issues
a Form 1099R to plan participants and the IRS upon distribution of assets
to plan participants.
Awaiting receipt of an IRS determination letter upon termination of the
plan prior to distributing assets to plan participants will not provide
"iron clad assurances" of the plan's qualified status since the IRS determination
letter merely provides assurances that the plan document is in compliance
with the Code's qualification status and does not relate to the operation
and administration of the plan being in conformity with the plan documents
or applicable law. The only way to obtain "iron clad assurances" is to conduct
a Fiduciary Audit® Operational Review of the plan, which qualifies the plan
sponsor and plan for coverage under the Fiduciary Audit® Insurance Program
through a review and analysis of the plan's operation to ensure that it
complies with all applicable law and plan documentation. The Fiduciary Audit®
Insurance Program (more fully discussed below) indemnifies the plan sponsor
and plan for any IRS liability or corrections required under a closing agreement
with the IRS.
Problems also abound in the accounting and transactional areas. Employer
plan sponsors (and trustees of multi-employer plans) are asked annually
by their auditors in their management representation letter to make a representation
that the plan sponsor is operating the plan in accordance with the plan
document and applicable law. This representation (which appears as a footnote
in the plan's annual financial report) is required by the AICPA in view
of the draconian tax sanctions that can be imposed by IRS on the employer/trustee
plan sponsor if the plan is not operated in accordance with its terms and
applicable law. An identical representation occurs in every corporate transaction
where the seller is required to represent to the buyer that the 401(k) and
other retirement plans are administered in accordance with their terms and
applicable law. The problem is that this is rarely the case since although
ERISA lawyers may draft perfect plan documents and obtain a determination
letter from IRS, the document rarely accurately depicts all aspects of plan
administration which may also be incorrect. A plan sponsor fiduciary can
represent the correctness of the plan document and administration if a Fiduciary
Audit® Operational Review is conducted to verify that plan terms are consistent
with actual operation.
These issues of sanction avoidance, balance sheet enhancement and transactional
facilitation also raise the possibility of civil liability for corporate
directors who fail to establish procedures for monitoring compliance, particularly
where a federal agency such as the IRS and DOL have established a self-audit
compliance program that encourages corporations to identify and correct
employee benefit violations so as to (i) avoid or mitigate sanctions imposed
by IRS for not operating plans in accordance with the Code's qualification
requirements (see IRS Revenue Procedure 2001-17) and (ii) civil and criminal
penalties imposed by the DOL and ERISA (see In re Caremark Int'l Inc.
Derivative Litig. 698 A.2d 959).
Over 700 plan sponsor employers (mostly large corporations) have converted
traditional defined benefit plans to cash balance plans. The problem is
that all applications for a determination letter involving the conversion
of a defined benefit plan to a cash balance plan are being sent to the IRS
National Office for review. In other words, issuance of determination letters
for such converted plans have been effectively suspended.
Also DOL is investigating cash balance plans to determine if employees'
pensions are being underpaid. A list of companies that drastically underpaid
pension benefits was recently released by U.S. Representative Bernie Sanders
who has introduced legislation in which the DOL would be required to enforce
existing rules on cash balance plans and to take enforcement action against
the plans already cited for violations. In addition, in many cash balance
plans there are issues relating to age discrimination that have come to
the attention of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The IRS has identified a number of concerns including: (1) whether cash
balance plans satisfy the benefit accrual rules under Code Section 411(b)
(relating to the three methods of accruing benefits under a defined benefit
plan), (2) whether the conversion of a defined benefit plan to a cash balance
plan violates the "anti-cutback" rule of Code Section 411(d)(6) (relating
to the prohibition on reducing benefits that have already accrued under
the plan) and (3) whether such conversions to cash balance plans violate
the age discrimination rules under Code Section 411(b)(1)(H).
The IRS has indicated that relief from plan disqualification and penalties
would be provided to any cash balance plan which has received an IRS determination
letter. However, if the IRS finds that there are significant problems with
the cash balance plan concept, retroactive correction may be required. This
means that plan sponsor employers may be required to make additional contributions
to the plan to make participants whole. Also, there may be ERISA fiduciary
issues relating to the conversion that the IRS cannot address. If this is
the case, any relief from ERISA fiduciary responsibilities must be handled
by the DOL.
An excellent solution to a number of problems enumerated above can be
illustrated by the recent dilemma of a not-for-profit Hospital which maintained
two defined benefit pension plans that had been converted to cash balance
plans. Both plans were terminated in 2001 on account of the bankruptcy filing
by the Hospital whose assets were eventually liquidated. Both cash balance
plans were overfunded at termination. After distributions were made to all
plan participants, the excess plan assets were used by the Hospital to pay
its creditors. Such reversion of plan assets was not subject to the 50%
excise tax on reversion of plan assets to the employer plan sponsor since
the Hospital is a tax-exempt organization.
Upon termination of the plans, an application for a determination letter
from the IRS was sought for each plan that such plan continued to satisfy
the requirements for tax qualification under the Code. The IRS did not issue
the requested letter in accordance with its policy which requires technical
advice to be sought through the IRS National Office with respect to any
determination letter request or examination case involving a conversion
of a plan to a cash balance plan.
Since the plans were unable to obtain an IRS determination letter or
any other assurance on the qualified status of the plans, the Hospital was
concerned about its representation to IRS and participants about the plan's
tax qualified status when it issues a Form 1099R upon distribution of plan
asssets to participants and the Hospital's creditors were concerned about
liability to the bankruptcy estate in the event the IRS determined that
the plan was not qualified. The solution for the Hospital was to obtain
insurance coverage for itself and the plans under the Fiduciary Audit® Insurance
Program which indemnified the Hospital and the plans for any IRS monetary
sanctions and the cost of correction of disqualifying errors imposed on
the Hospital as the result of entering into a closing agreement with IRS
under CAP.
Coverage under the Fiduciary Audit® Insurance Program is conditioned
on a Fiduciary Audit® Operational Review by our Employee Benefits Group
to determine if a plan is qualified based on the terms of the plan document
and the actual day-to-day operation of the plan. The Fiduciary Audit® Operational
Review consists of:
The Fiduciary Audit® Insurance Program is truly a panacea for post-Enron
compliance since it enables employers to establish self-audit internal control
procedures designed to comply with the IRS Employee Plans Compliance Resolution
System set forth in Rev. Proc. 2001-17 on a cost-effective basis and obtain
insurance for any IRS liability and required cost of correction that might
occur as the result of an audit by IRS.

It seems like everything on the web has turned social as of late. The geek cooler talk seems to be about Social Media and how it will affect the web. Currently, social media on the web goes almost hand in hand with 3rd party web applications. If you want to microblog chances are you don't have your own, you use Twitter. If you want to share photos, updates, make friends, you don't host your own social network but instead you use Facebook.
Update: March 2011 = the open source project Diaspora is gaining some major traction. It's basically an open source social networking application that is far and away more genius than what I have mentioned here. Read my article on Diaspora for more info.
But where does Open Source fit into this equation? It's gotta fit somewhere, doesn't it? I am actually one believer who thinks it does. And specifically I think it's Social Aggregator Applications that are the future of where Open Source and Social Media come together. Let me explain…
What Are Social Aggregator Applications?
Before diving too deep into this conversation, let me first explain to you what Social Aggregators are. They are basically web based applications that aggregate or gather data/information from various 3rd party social applications. A basic idea of this would be a web application that aggregates your Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube etc. information into one location, allowing viewers to see all of that information in once place.
Why Are They Important?
There are a couple reasons these are important. The first and biggest reason being particularly that you get to mashup all of your social activity into one place for your friends, family, or whoever else to see. The second reason coincides with the first in that you get to actually retrieve and maintain this data/information yourself, on your own web server. The data is yours! Am I making sense?
What's Out There?
In my opinion, I think that people like you and I will continue to use major 3rd party services such as Facebook and Twitter for our Social Media activities because of the communities that exist with them. But it's my theory that Open Source will begin to take a bigger stake into the development of rich web applications that allow people like you and I to aggregate all of our activity on the web. We are already seeing this. But I do think that these technologies will get better and better. For now, let's take a look at what's out there already.
1. SweetCron
SweetCron pulls in your Social Data from various sources including Twitter, Flickr, Digg etc. Tutsplus.com has a great tutorial on designing a slick looking theme for your SweetCron aggregator.
2. WP Lifestream theme for WordPress
One of the interesting themes for WordPress that gets in this Social Aggregation mix is the WP Lifestream theme. With it you get all the benefits of WordPress and with a simpe theme install, you can start aggregating data from places like Facebook, Twitter and more in just seconds.
3. Storytlr
Storytlr was actually a free 3rd party application that you could sign up to use, but is now Open Source. Storytlr has kind of a more unique way of displaying your information as you can see from the screenshot below.
4. Pubwich
With Pubwich I have actually spent some time toying with and I have really enjoyed it. A very simple, few file package that's up and running in seconds aggregating your social info from around the web.
5. P2 Theme for WordPress
The P2 Theme is actually developed by the Automatic team from WordPress. It's basically a theme for WordPress that turns your blog into a microblog. I use it for aggregating my Tweets from Twitter and thus it serves as a social aggreagtor for me.
There you have it. There are a few more out there, some of which I just decided not to review because I have not used them yet and others I'm probably just not aware of. Anyhow, i'm interested to know from you guys what you think about Open Source and these Social Media Aggregators. What other benefits or downfalls do you see from these types of web applications?

Well guys, I found a great solution for hard water that requires no maintenance called Hard Water Genie. It uses Radio Frequency and Magnets to change the molecular structure of the water that passes through the pipes. BEFORE THE HATERS SAY IT WON'T WORK, all I can say is I own one and I no longer have scale problems and my water is soapier and feels softer without having to use a water softener to add salt to the water (for those of you that have high blood pressure, salt is not good). The Water Genie is sold by Northgate vacuum and comes with an unconditional six months money back guarantee. That's right, doesn't work for you, send it back. Did I mention a lifetime warrantee?

Android red alert! We've just been notified that some changes have been made to the tech specs on the official Galaxy Nexus page. Originally, Google was listing the Verizon version of the Nexus (LTE/CDMA) as having "16GB/32GB" internal storage space but in a rather unsettling turn of events, the 32GB version has been removed with only the 16GB surviving.
Not sure exactly what's up but what do you guys think? Would you be upset at having only the lesser option of storage space for the Galaxy Nexus?

The images might be humorous, but thousands of dieters nationwide aren't joking when they claim that eating like a caveman is working for them.
We're talking about what's known as the Paleo Diet.
"It is a really restrictive diet. It is said to be one of the hardest fad diets to follow."
Samantha Cortese is a registered dietician at Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre.
She explained the basics of the eating plan, the center of which is any kind of animal protein you can hunt yourself, such as chicken, beef, venison or wild-caught fish.
"Some of the other choices would be any kind of nut or berry you can harvest, or any fruit and vegetable you can get from the grocery store."
In other words, whatever a caveman could hunt or gather is ok.
What's not allowed? All grains and dairy products. No lentils, legumes, potatoes, sugar or processed foods of any kind.
Difficult to follow, yes, but Cortese says the diet is also nutritionally imbalanced.
"It does not allow for calcium and vitamin d, vital for bone health. And there's a lack of fiber if you're not including enough vegetables. It also makes it difficult to get b vitamins vital to metabolism."
Cortese says the Paleo Diet was first introduced in the 1970's, and has enjoyed a resurgence of sorts.
She knows several people who've tried it, but not for longer than about a month.
At its core, in her opinion, it is a healthy eating plan. If you balance it out by adding some whole grains and low-fat dairy.

Rampage: UFC won't let me wear Reebok in the cage | UFC NEWS
By Evan Stoumbelis
Rampage Jackson says he has a new reason for leaving the UFC after his upcoming fight against Glover Teixeira at UFC on Fox 6 in Chicago.
Rampage says that UFC refuses to let him wear Reebok apparel in the Octagon, after recently inking a deal with Reebok, Rampage wants to represent his new sponsor during his fights.
"My reasons for wanting to leave the UFC is still the same. Matchmaking is just one of the reasons. It's nothing about money. I've done this interview several times before and don't want to go into it. I have a new reason. I'm sponsored by Reebok and UFC says I can't wear Reebok in the cage. Stupid stuff like that. It's not about money, it's about respect. I'd rather take a money cut to go to another show and get appreciated. I'm sponsored by Reebok, just not allowed to wear it in the cage. I can't wear Reebok while I fight."
The former UFC light heavyweight champion has gone 4-3 since losing his light heavyweight strap to Forrest Griffin in 2008, including a submission loss to Jon Jones in 2011 for the title. Rampage is coming off a decision loss to Ryan "Darth" Bader last February in front of Japanese fans at the Saitama Super Arena. Since then Rampage has continued to made it abundantly clear that he officially wants to part ways with the UFC after he completes the last fight of his contract in January against Glover Teixeira.

Rampage been bitching a lot (still a fan though) but i wonder why the UFC wont let him wear Reebok in the cage.. i mean that's just straight up taking money out of Rampage pocket!
The sad thing Rampage, there isn't anywhere else to go. Before you could have went to WEC, Bellator, or Strikeforce. Unfortunately Zuffa has bought out all the competition except for Bellator…Wait Rampage vs King Mo! That would be a big hit!
dream is back and theres one fc which is starting to get its name out there u have bellator (id rather he not go there), mfc, or world series of fighting
I'm sure guys at dream or even k-1/boxing are more than willing to pay him more base money than the UFC does.
the more i read stuff on this website the more i think dana white is a douche. Dana sounds more and more like Vince McMahon in his power tripping and disrespect of MMA legends. I can't wait for the next MMA promotion to come into the race. should be quite interesting
Dana is a douche! Fighter can rock boarderline racit tat's on them (BROWN PRIDE) But man can't rock reebok!That's waste! Dana fucks with whoever he doesn't like ..ex Tito! Look how he sent him under the bus,Oh lets not forget Randy! Once Randy was hitting to retire he shat on him too, once you have a few bad losse's and want to take your own direction or have more say he throws his people under the bus…The guy is no different then Vince mcmahon of the wwf..or wwe..or whatever its called now!
"brown pride" has nothing to do with skin colour buddy, its the college he wrestled at.
Stevie, you're an idiot. He went to Arizona State University. Their mascot is the Devil. Brown Pride simply has to do with his Hispanic heritage not where he went to college. It's not any more racist than BJ being a proud Hawaiian, or GSP being a proud Canadian. I honestly don't see the problem with "Brown Pride" but that's just me. I'm half Hawaiian and half Caucasian.
Look up brownpride.com and the look up whitepride.com.
One sells hate music, the other sells lowrider accessories.
Million penny pinchers doesn't get worse then that!!!
Rampage in ONE FC I wanna see him soccer kick someone! lol
Then watch Pride FC lol he made a living doin that
Yea that's fd up rampage shld were reebok anyway what's goin happen they goin to fine him. Yes rampage will be fighting in Japan and yes Dana is a douche and very disrespectful to all his fighters he thinks he runs mma and thinks he created mma plus thinks people watch the UFC cause of him poor rampage or any fighter that tells it like it is
So other fights can be sponsored by Nike and wear Nike in the ring cough Jon Jones ..Cough Anderson Silva ..cough JDS ! Yet Rampage can't sport Reebok in the ring ??? Sounds UFC has a deal with only showing off NIKE apparel and logos !
Sponsors have to pay a fee to the UFC if they wanna sponsor a fighter. Either Reebok doesn't want yo pay the UFC that fee or Nike's deal with the UFC prevents direct competitors like Reebok from sponsoring a UFC fighter. Sounds like this isn't UFC's fault but Reebok's for not doing their homework.
Rampage will go back to Japan and fight for Dream. Good on him, I actually dont think he's "bitching". I agree with alot of his arguements.
Carlo said it best. This isn't the UFC's doing. It's a contract thing. Rampage is just ignorant to realize that. And I guess you all are too.
Rampage is a one dimensional fighter he gets mad when he fights a wrestler…this is MMA not boxing if you wanna have a standup only fight go box UFC ain't going anywhere Rampage is washed up…and if I hear Rampage say this is his best training camp ever like he said in his last 4 fights u automatically know hes gonna suck
washed up? his last two fights were for the belt and a top contender.. im not the biggest rampage fan but he is far from washed up
He is a washed up bum… No matter who he fought he looked like trash he last few fights…
@stophatin.. you read my mind..lol
Why Junior Dos Santos allowed them to wear Nike ?
Reebok and Nike are 2 different brands, so what's your point?
This guy said he wants to go where he is appreciated… Appreciated for what? Cuz all you been doing is losing.. and losing bad… Rampage wants someone to stand right in front of him and box… Well news flash this isn't boxing.. I can't wait till I watch Glover kick ur ass live at the United center…
Rampage is a whinny little bitch. All he has to do is get Reebok to pay the UFC their extortion money and he could wear Reebok on his face.
this site seriously has the scariest e-thugs ive ever seen. I think you guys need to realise that Rampage is one of the few veterans left, in a few years thats it. All the old school guys will be gone. Rampage was obviously injured in his fight with Bader and before that I thought he looked good. He fought a good fight against Jones but was clearly outclassed, before that he beat Machida, nearly KO'd Rashad etc. Stop hating the guy he has legit points and not so legit points but atleast he's keeping it real unlike most UFC champs these days.
Ok I get it, you are a Rampage fan and will give him slack. I'm not wired that way. If Rampage says something coherent and smart, I'll say he is on point, but if he is being a douche, then I'll point that out too. What matters is NOW, not what WAS. That is dead and gone. Rampage is being a baby and just needs to follow the UFC rules and he can get Reebok to pay him whatever he can get. Why is calling out a douche move a threat to you? Is this a politically correct and dishonest site?

Rochioli Three Corner Pinot Noir 2010
Pinot Noir from Russian River, California
Winemaker's Notes
This bottling is from a small triangle shaped vineyard on the southern end of our property. The wine has aromas of ripe cherry and spice with a touch of anise with concentrated flavors of bright fruit that are balanced and rich.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Very rich and deeply concentrated, this extraordinary wine is focused on a dense core of blackberry, with a touch of jam, showing hints of raspberry and wilted rose as well. Firm, tight, concentrated and pleasantly tannic, this has a lot going for it."
Wine Enthusiast - "Three Corner is a block in the estate vineyard that was planted in 1974. The 2010 is very rich and full bodied,—dramatically so—packed with cherries and pomegranates and savory spices and minerals. The power reflects the vineyard's site in a warmer part of the valley. But the wine never loses sight of elegance, and, like all Rochioli's vineyard designated Pinot Noirs, it is in need of age. Don't even think of popping the cork before 2016, and the wine should develop for many years afterward.
Cellar Selection"
International Wine Cellar - "Deep ruby. Explosively perfumed bouquet displays black raspberry, cherry preserves and potpourri. Lush and sweet, with palate-staining dark berry flavors, supple tannins, and an exotic floral pastille quality that emerges with air. Extremely seductive and open-knit, finishing with outstanding power and spicy persistence."
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "The 2010 Pinot Noir Three Corner wraps around the palate with intense dark black fruit, menthol, spices and licorice. This is one of the most brooding, structured wines in the lineup. Energy, focus and power are some of the many virtues found in the Three Corner. Layers of fruit continue to build in the glass as the wine fills out over time. This is a dazzling effort from Tom Rochioli.

Rochiolli Winery
The Rochioli family has been growing grapes on its 136-acre ranch since the 1930s. In 1984, Tom Rochioli created the first wines to be produced under the Rochioli name. The 9000 case winery produces Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. View all Rochiolli Wines
About Russian RiverView a map of Russian River wineries
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

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

On a call with reporters, a senior administration official told reporters that two types of activities would continue in the event of a government shutdown. First, operations that have other funding sources such as user fees or appropriations that are not done annually will continue to operate. Second, any activities "necessary for the safety of life and protection of property" of the U.S. and its citizens would continue. This generally means military and law enforcement operations would continue.
Administration officials told National Journal on Wednesday that the following government services could possibly cease in the event of a government shutdown:
- Federal Housing Administration's new home loan guarantees may cease. During spring home buying season, this suspension of new issuances could have a gravely adverse effect on recovery of housing market. Private mortgage lenders across the country could suspend new home loan closings as a result of having no assurance those loans will be guaranteed. Some 30 percent of the market is FHA loans.
- Small Business Association approval of applications for business loan guarantees and direct loans to small businesses would likely cease, impacting the engines of our economy, which could slow economic momentum.
- Internal Revenue Service's processing of tax refunds for paper-filed returns (approximately 30 percent of total), and performance of tax audits, would be suspended.
- Operation of E-Verify activities by DHS would be suspended, which could slow down new hiring.
- Patent processing will be suspended.
- Non-emergency consular and passport operations may be suspended, though this is still under discussion with the State Department.
These services would stop:
- All areas of the National Park Service and National Wildlife Refuge Systems will be closed. Limited access to public lands could adversely affect communities that depend on recreational tourism.
- Smithsonian Institution and National Gallery of Art would close to the public (although Kennedy Center will remain open, due to significant private funding sources).
- Many Environmental Protection Agency functions, including review of environmental impact statements. Only functions necessary to protect life and property will continue.
- E-commerce transactions on U.S. government websites.
- Many civilian employees at the Defense Department would be furloughed.
- The National Institutes of Health clinical center would not take new patients or initiate new clinical trials. Trials in process would continue.
- District of Columbia: Trash collection would be suspended for first three days of funding lapse. Public libraries (except for security), and a variety of District offices that perform non-excepted functions, including the Department of Motor Vehicles, would suspend operations. The Cherry Blossom Parade scheduled for this weekend would not take place.
These critical services would not cease:
- Social security checks for seniors, people with disabilities and survivors would still go out (though the Social Security Administration is still finalizing plans).
- Medicare payments will continue for a temporary period. They would be cut off in the event of an extended shutdown, but the official said that meant a shutdown that lasted for months. "I think we're into a hypothetical beyond a period of time that any shutdown has lasted," the official said.
- Troops would be able to continue to work, though they will not be paid until the government began to function again.
- Critical homeland security functions such as border security would continue.

BOGOTA, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Colombia's government and FARC rebels will sit down in Cuba this month in search of a peace agreement that has eluded Latin America's fourth-largest economy for decades.
Unlike past failed negotiations when there was a broad agenda and other parties participated, this time the government and rebels have a tight five-point schedule and will talk face-to-face with a minimum of mediators.
Here are the agenda points and obstacles they face:
* After a formal launch in Oslo, substantive discussions are set to begin in Havana in November with rural development the first point on the agenda. The FARC has long maintained the central government ignores peasants' rights and needs, while authorities accuse the rebels of wantonly abusing rural inhabitants by forced conscription and illegal taxation.
* This agenda point will include issues ranging from land and property rights to food and agriculture. Rural services like health, education and housing, plus credits and technical assistance, will also be on the table. Every attempt since the 1960s to tackle land issues has failed. One of Santos' key reforms since taking office - aiming to give stolen land back to displaced peasants - has hit numerous hurdles as powerful regional players stymie the process.
* With foreign investment pouring into Colombia thanks to the government's success in beating back rebels over the last decade, the FARC are saying multinationals should get out. But that will not happen, the government says. If the guerrillas want to change the economic system, Bogota says, then they must enter politics and win elections.
* One possibility is that the FARC morphs into a political party as has happened with insurgencies from central America to central Africa. In a country where leftist political parties have been haunted by the murder of thousands of members of the Union Patriotica Party in the 1980s, the agenda item's focus on guarantees for opposition parties is particularly poignant. That is especially true for the FARC's chief negotiator Ivan Marquez who was at one point a member of Congress for the UP. The massacre of UP members has been held up as proof that right wingers will never allow a leftist party to rise up and win elections.
* After five decades of kidnappings, bombings and assassinations, the FARC's top leaders have dozens of arrest warrants hanging over their heads. Although temporarily suspended for the current round of talks, the accusations may prevent the seven-member secretariat from holding public office. Mid-level commanders and regular fighters, however, might be able to stand in elections. It could be possible that the government designates a certain amount of seats in Congress for demobilized FARC members similar to what has been done in past efforts to politically integrate guerrillas. But a recent poll showed that more than two thirds of Colombians oppose allowing FARC leaders to be candidates.
* Fighting will continue at home while negotiators take place abroad. Colombia says there will be no ceasefire until a final agreement is signed and the government has even vowed to step up military operations. But the guerrillas says the first point they would discuss is a bilateral truce. After a dramatic drop in violence since a U.S.-backed offensive was launched in 2002, bloodshed has picked up over the last four years as security gains appear to have hit a plateau.
* Despite years of experience demobilizing and re-integrating guerrillas and other illegal armed groups, Colombia's track-record has not been great. Many right-wing paramilitaries that gave up arms in the 2000s turned into drug gangs while some FARC members who have taken part in voluntary demobilization have dropped out of sight, turning to crime.
* Some analysts have pointed out that the agenda, which was hashed out over two years of secret talks, speaks about the "abandonment" of weapons but not the handover of guns. At the official start of talks in Oslo on Oct. 18, rebels cited the preamble to the five-point agenda as opening the door to talk about issues that were not specifically included in the document.
* A peace deal will not stop drug production in the world's top cocaine producer. Many of the points in this item such as crop substitution and development programs for rural areas are already being tried with mixed results. The white powder will continue to leave Colombian borders and there are concerns that a possible fragmentation of the FARC post-peace may lead many fighters to continue the lucrative trade.
* Once most famous for the flamboyant drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, Colombia's drug scene has dramatically changed since the 1990s, the last time peace talks were tried. New criminal gangs have sprung up from the breakup of traditional cartels in the 1990s and the demobilization of drug-running paramilitaries in the 2000s. Unlike the attention-grabbing Mexican cartels that have dominated headlines with beheadings and massacres, Colombia's bands have learned from past mistakes and are keeping a lower profile, preferring to co-opt and bribe officials and kill smaller numbers of people.
* With tens of thousands dead and millions more displaced over the last five decades, how Colombia and the guerrillas deal with victims and finding out the truth about crimes will be key to preventing future conflict, retribution and more misery. The five-point document has the least detail about victims - only mentioning compensation, human rights for victims and truth.
* Santos' administration has already pushed through a law giving reparations to victims, which could cost as much as ${esc.dollar}30 billion over the next decade. The main questions: what form will truth telling take - a commission, trials, or some other platform; will the agreement deal with military abuses during the long war; and can a deal safeguard victims rights while at the same time give incentives for rebels to give up arms?
