The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Preston Vineyard, one of our top Rutherford Appellation vineyards, while the Merlot is from our Henry Ranch and finally, the Petit Verdot is from the excellent "Vittorio's Vineyard" adjacent to the winery in St. Helena. The dusty, mocha and cassis-filled Rutherford Cabernet combines with cool-climate, elegant Carneros Merlot, which is then topped off with the inky, cedary, aromatic Vittorio's Vineyard Petit Verdot.
Ripe black cherry fruit, hints of coffee and cocoa, black currant in the nose - it shows fruit and tannin structure and complexity that portends excellent long-term age worthiness. "We are trying to achieve a clear balance and harmony among the components," says Brooks Painter, Director of Winemaking. "The different attributes of each grape engage masterfully with one another to create an extremely enjoyable drinking experience - a real marvel of a wine. After 18 months of bottle age it has developed a very interesting and complex bouquet and depth of flavors that will deliver in the nose and on the palate. We're extremely pleased with the result - Enjoy!"

HMRC Working Together e-group
This online Working Together discussion group is a joint project between HMRC, Taxation and AccountingWEB.co.uk to provide an online equivalent of the local Working Together groups that work with HMRC to help improve the services it provides. The group's objective is to identify systemic HMRC operational problems or issues and will work in the same way as local groups. The group is open by request to registered and profiled members of the AccountingWEB community. The focus for discussion should be on practical issues and based on presenting evidence and exploring the nature of problems faced rather than rehashing the political debates and philosophical arguments that take place elsewhere on the site. Please behave as you would if you were face to face with HMRC colleagues.
Brian Redford (left), HMRC's Deputy Director Intermediaries and External Communication, Business Customer Unit, HM Revenue & Customs: "We are delighted to be joining forces with Taxation and AccountingWEB.co.uk to create a Working Together e-group. This new group is a natural extension to the valuable work already being carried out by our local Working Together groups. We anticipate some valuable learning from extending the Working Together model online."

The United Republic of Tanzania has ever since 2000 signed and therefore committed it self to implement the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGS).
Implementation of these MDGs has been made at different levels, initiatives and strategies that the governments adopted with the basic objective of reducing poverty and improving the quality of peoples' life.
These initiatives include the adoption of the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) popularly known as "Mpango wa Kupunguza Umasikini Tanzania ('MKUKUTA')", this was mainly based in Tanzania mainland and the "Mpango wa Kupunguza Umaskini Zanzibar ('MKUZA')" for Zanzibar.
Other initiatives or policies that Tanzania has made with the aim of reducing poverty in the country include Development vision 2025 (for Tanzania mainland), vision 2020 (for Zanzibar ) ''Kilimo Kwanza'' (Agriculture first), which encourages modern methods in agricultural production and the Tanzania Five Year Development Plan 2011/2012- 2015/2016.
These were mainly adopted to promote growth and reduce poverty among Tanzanian citizens, to enhance social wellbeing, the quality of life, governance and accountability.
These policies are very good in theory and practically may be as well good if only they can be implemented timely, and be participatory enough. For instance, critics attribute non- participatory mechanism of National Budgeting Process to factors hindering poverty reduction initiatives in the country.
The vice is said to have led to government's failure to prioritize development projects in its government/public expenditures.
The observation is part of the content in a paper titled 'Three years to 2015 MDGs target, Tanzania and the Myth of Poverty Eradication', prepared by the SAHRINGON Tanzania Chapter.
"Many of the foreign investors enjoy tax holidays due to weak government policies and laws that could have protected the country from loosing huge income," reads the paper in part.
Most of the investors have been at the helm of things in the country due to having an upper hand on land issues, and as such involving into land grabbing for various investment be it on mining, hunting or even large scale farming for food production.
This Correspondent managed to talk to SAHRINGON's National Coordinator Martina Kabisama who said Tanzania's economy fails to improve due to poor legal and regulatory regimes especially in management of revenue streams, supervision of resources and accountability of public leaders who manage public funds.
"The government should create conducive environment for the fully participation of all major actors of the national budget process to ensure that priorities are set in accordance," said Kabisama.
Furthermore, the government's policy on tax exemptions should be coupled with good administration of the resources to ensure more revenue is collected domestically and thus contribute towards the national budget.
There are several challenges hindering successions of MKUKUTA, one being the poor quality of education.
The rapid increase in enrolment has also thrown up challenges with regard to quality because of overstretched educational infrastructure as well as human resource capacity.
For instance, education quality at the primary education level manifested itself in high pupil/teacher ratio (52:1 in 2006 and 54:1 in 2009); the percentage of pupils passing the primary school leaving examination (PSLE) (70.5 percent in 2006 and 52.7 percent in 2008).
Worse, still, there are reports indicating that there are several primary school pupils who have passed to join secondary school while they can neither read nor write. This all raises a lot of questions over our quality of education in general.
Gender imbalance at post secondary school level also remains a challenge. During 2008/09, for example, females made up only 32.1 percent of total enrolment in public universities and university colleges compared to 32.2 percent in 2006. Low participation rate of women in tertiary education does deprive women in terms of level and nature of their participation in decision making processes, the report by SAHRINGON says.
Needless to say, lack of decent shelter and human settlement can not go unmentioned as vulnerable groups such as women, youth, the indigenous, elderly and disabled face inadequately serviced land for shelter and human settlements.
In its paper, SAHRINGON suggests that the government ought to cut capital flight and unnecessary tax incentives and exemptions.
"The government should introduce taxes to those who deserve but don't pay like Members of Parliament, encourage internal trade, to be focused and take those who eat public money allocated for MKUKUTA to account. Furthermore, it should abide to principles of democracy by being transparent and enhance accountability in order for Tanzania to eradicate poverty as its initiatives objectively projected.
Also the initiatives must also be known to all stakeholders including the people who are to benefit and implement. I still recall vividly how one of the researchers went to Kibondo to find out on awareness of ordinarily Tanzanians over the national strategies to reduce poverty.
The researchers we are told asked one of the shop owners at Kibondo on whether he had heard of MKUKUTA and the guy responded saying it was never sold in shops around there.
Asked on MKURABITA, he said he had never seen that either saying perhaps it was sold in Kigoma township, funny! At the time we laughed a lot but the reality was, a lot of people in rural areas were then and some are even in dark even as we speak over to what the policies stand for.
One last piece of advice, charity should start at home. There is no need to condone strangers against our own people as is the case in Loliondo. The land belongs to Tanzanians and they deserve better treatment than eviction and threats.

- "I'm going to ask you to deal with a problem, and you're going to deal with it, or you're not gonna deal with it and you're gonna be a problem that somebody else has to deal with."
- ―Jimmy Pegorino, to Niko Bellic.
Pegorino's Pride is the first mission given to the player by Jimmy Pegorino, head of the Pegorino Family.
Niko briefly meets James Pegorino at his house at Westdyke, Alderney. Jimmy tells Niko how much a meet with the Pavanos would help him gain a seat on the Commission; Big Pete and Marco are following to accompany Pegorino at the deal. On the way to the meet at the abandoned DUDE Chemicals plant in the Acter Industrial Park, Pegorino reveals to Niko that he will bribe the Pavanos to give the Pegorino Family a name; Pegorino wants Niko to oversee the deal as "insurance" in case the deal goes sour.
As Niko watches over the meet with a rifle, the Pavanos ambush and open fire at Pegorino's party, prompting Niko to do the same. Jimmy is injured before he can do anything about it while Big Pete and Marco are killed. Upon rescuing him, the Pavanos escape with the offering; Niko blasts them down, and transports Pegorino and the offering back to Westdyke.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get in Pegorino's car
- Drive to the old refinery
- Go to the vantage point and watch over the meet
- Keep a guard over Pegorino
- Protect Pegorino from the Pavanos
- Rescue Pegorino
- Get Pegorino's offering back from the Pavanos
- Go get Pegorino's offering
- Get back in Pegorino's car with the offering
- Take Pegorino back to his place
At least full health is required for this mission, preferably some body armor as well. Suit up at Perseus and head to Pegorino's. After the conversation, head to Pegorino's car and meet his men (Marco and Peter) while Pegorino gets his shoes on. He will join the team, so drive them all to the refinery. Then a cutscene appears. Marco gives Niko the sniper rifle and instructs him to a building ledge. Go up the stairs and to the ledge. Then a cutscene appears. The Pegorino family come forward along with the Pavanos. More Pavanos come and shoot up the party, killing Big Pete and Marco. Snipe them all as a chest shot or headshot, as these detract the most health and don't waste expensive rifle ammo.
When the game instructs to save Pegorino, jump off of the railing as it's quicker than descending all of the stairs and only cuts back on a bit of health. Get out your Assault/Carbine if you have one or something in the SMG family if you don't. Four men immediately start shooting once you get outside - shoot them ASAP. Ascend the stairs on the right and pick off the rest of the lackeys. The abandoned refinery's roof is disintegrating, with lots of missing sections. Climb up and move across the roof, using the holes to flank and pick off Pavanos waiting for you behind cover or in back rooms. Or you can just run to the hole in the rooftop over Jimmy and drop down to end the mission quickly without having to shoot anyone below. Also, don't miss the Body Armor next to a mattress in a room near the middle of the refinery building.
Cutscene. Pegorino and Niko enter their car and notice a Pavano car escaping with the offering/bribe. Chase them but don't waste bullets shooting them as this will not get the offering any quicker. Follow their exact tire marks and after a minute or so, watch as they brutally crash at the docks and don't make the same mistake. Keep the car away from the men as they might try to pick off Jimmy. Leave the car and toss a grenade at the Pavano car so as to get the two goons standing near it. Chase the last Pavano with the offering and step over his body to collect it. Head back to Jimmy and drive him to Westdyke as he comments, "[You] kept your head while everyone else was losing theirs - sometimes literally. We're going to need your skills again soon. Arrividerci."
Video Walkthrough
- Peter Marchetti - Killed by the Pavanos.
- Marco Bonnaro - Killed by the Pavanos.
Tips and Tricks
- When killing the Pavano carrying the offering, shoot him in the legs to lessen the risk of destroying the offering.
- It is possible to kill Big Pete and Marco during the shootout, this won't fail the mission unless Jimmy is killed.
- Marco and Pete have unique dying animations, slightly resembling those of previous GTA games.

Hello, Ruedy.
Hooo, Boy! Have I got a lot to learn.
First, I am really impressed with these two maps. They are beautiful and very well done. Congratulations on your excellent work.
Now, if I may, some questions.
1) How did you get such great topology drawn on your map? I'm very impressed with your terrain details -- plains, highland, mountains, waterways, etc. -- and am very interested in how you get such beautiful terrain onto paper?
2) Did you use your height field map (relief map) as the basis for then "painting" the terrain?
3) Any input, tutorials or advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Again, Ruedy, these are excellent maps and you should be quite proud of them.
Thanks for sharing them with us.

Primary Users of Rules Technology
Jan 14th
One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. – A A Milne.
For the past month or so I have been pondering how to describe the applications of rules technology on a compact but useful slide. To me, the primary uses entail automating:
- Decisions
- Event response
- Processes
- Inferences
Various products do some of these things, with varying degrees of success. I don't think any single product would claim to do all these things well. I'm sure that some people would also like to see "Business Insights" on the list too, but as that is not my area of expertise I have taken the liberty of omitting it.
The four product categories can all trace their roots back to artificial intelligence to some extent. However, as one of my AI professors used to quip, when pressed for a definition of AI, "It's Computer Science that doesn't quite work yet…" So, most things can!
So without further ado or commentary, here is the diagram. I hope it will provoke some reflection and response if nothing else. I have included the XMind diagram, so don't hesitate to hack away at it and send me your revisions.
Printable PDF file is here and an XMind diagram file (ZIP compressed) is here.

The statement came in response to a report in the Sunday Star-Times newspaper that the military collected phone metadata to spy on journalist Jon Stephenson, a New Zealander. The story by journalist Nicky Hager said the military became unhappy at Stephenson's reporting on how it treated Afghan prisoners.
Also Monday, the country's Minister of Defense Jonathan Coleman acknowledged the existence of an embarrassing confidential order that lists investigative journalists alongside spies and terrorists as potential threats to New Zealand's military.
The acting defense force chief, Major General Tim Keating, said the military officers responsible for operations in Afghanistan have assured him that there had been no unlawful monitoring of Stephenson by New Zealand or foreign spy agencies.
That would appear to be a reference to the NSA with which New Zealand shares intelligence information under a long-standing arrangement known as the "Five Eyes," which in addition to New Zealand and the U.S. includes the Britain, Australia and Canada.
The White House and AP intelligence sources in Washington did not respond Sunday to requests for comment on the Sunday Star-Times story.
"We have identified no information at this time that supports Mr. Hager's claims," Keating said in the statement.
Stephenson wrote for several news organizations and was a freelancer for McClatchy for about 10 months last year.

Comments On Mar 22, 2013:This fan fit right to the radiator like the original equipment. I am worried that where the wires attatch to the fan and the coupler seem to be exposed and that the wireing was not as long as the original. It barely reaches the plug in on the ATV. I wonder if moisture and vibration could be a problem later. But, at 1/3 the cost of the OEM fan and a twenty four hour turn around from being inop to riding again I will take the chance. The fan is operating correctly and blows air.

Skamania offers Astronomy Class near Portland, Oregon
Skamania Lodge will be offering an outdoor astronomy class this Saturday featuring Mr. Les Hastings, an accomplished astronomer that resides locally in Stevenson, Washington.
Join us this Saturday, August 17 to explore the reaches of the universe at 9:30pm. Admission is free. Check in at the Skamania's front desk when you arrive.
About Les Hastings
Early in his teaching career, Les introduced astronomy to his high school curriculum. Later, with the help of a grant, Les and another math teacher organized a space science class. They used the Galileo spacecraft as the theme that connected several years of classes together following the Galileo project from conception to the final crash down.
One of the highlights in his life was the viewing of the Supernova 1987A. It was only visible in the southern hemisphere, and he just happened to be teaching astronomy to a high school class in Australia as an exchange teacher.
Supernova 1987A was the first one visible to the naked eye since 1604, when Johannes Kepler discovered one in Ophiuchus. The current supernova was in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Sometimes great teaching moments fall right out of the sky.

Sierra Nevada, Spain
Sierra Nevada range from La Calahorra, showing agriculture, forest and snow cover. @ C.Michael Hogan
The Sierra Nevada is a significant mountain range in Andalucia, in southern Spain, whose highest point is 3478 meters. This mountain range represents the tallest landform in all of southwestern Europe, even exceeding the Pyrenees. There is a vast variation in climate within the Sierra Nevada, since snow covers the higher elevations for most of the year, while hot temperatures prevail at the lower elevations, particularly in summer. As a result of these climatic differentials as well as the Mediterranean influences on the southern slopes, there is enormous biodiversity within the Sierra Nevada; this species richness is further amplified by the considerable soil differences within the mountain range.
While human history in the Sierra Nevada dates back at least as early as the early Holocene, there is also a well documented written history beginning in the Roman era, with some of the more western reaches of the Roman Empire consisting of villages along the southern flanks of the Sierra Nevada in the era 50 BC to 150 AD. The Phoenicians, and later the Carthaginians, had a presence in the Sierra Nevada that even predated the Romans.
The Sierra Nevada exhibits a central core comprised of a dome consisting chiefly of mica schist; this core extends for a west-southwest to east-northeast line of about one hundred kilometers, and manifests a topography of somewhat smooth contours at the higher elevations. Younger Triassic limestone and sandstone form the middle and lower slopes, which zone is deeply incised by the generally north or south flowing rivers that endure year around, due to the copious snowmelt.
The upper montane zones have been considerably influenced by glacial activity during the most recent ice age; this glacial scraping has created numerous residual moraines, one of which is 2.5 kilometers in length. There was likely a small disjunctive ice sheet that covered much of the high Sierra Nevada during most of the most recent ice age, perhaps enduring as recently as fifteen to twenty thousand years before present.
Iberian conifer forests occupy most of the Sierra Nevada. Source: WWF The major ecoregion comprising the Sierra Nevada range is the Iberian conifer forests; a less prominent low elevation ecoregion occupying chiefly lower slopes is the Iberian sclerophyllous and semi-deciduous forests, which is particularly evident in the southeastern Sierra Nevada. However, the most important way to dissect the habitats within the Sierra Nevada by using altitudinal characteristics; there are five chief ecological zones within the, Sierra Nevada, as viewed by elevational factors:
- Alpine
- Pre-alpine
- Hedgehog scrub
- Mediterranean montane
- Mediterranean
Alpine zone
The highest zone of the Sierra Nevada ranges above 2600 meters and consists chiefly of herbaceous perennials that can tolerate snow and ice cover that persists the majority of the year. Approximately 200 distinct plant species are found in this alpine zone, around 40 of which are endemic. Among the most abundant endemics are: Ranunculus acetosellifolius, Meum nevadense, Linearia glacialis, Eryngium glaciale and Saxifraga nevadensis. Around twenty of the flora taxa found here are common to Morocco's Atlas Mountains, and about a dozen species of the alpine zone are shared by other mountain ranges of southern Spain; moreover, approximately 70 of the plant taxa found in the alpine zone are also found in the Alps (e.g. Draba azoides, Gentiana verna, Vitaliana primuliflora, Erigeron alpinus and Saxifraga oppositifolia.
Pre-alpine zone
Elevations of this zone may be construed to lie between 2300 and 2600 meters in altitude. Niches seen occupied by spiny shrubs in the Hedgehog scrub at lower elevations, are supplanted here by dwarf juniper taxa, Juniperis communis subsp. nana and J. subina subsp. humilis.
Hedgehog scrub zone
While some of this zone, lying between 1700 to 2300 meters in elevation, is forested with pine species, the greater fraction is covered with a low scrub, many of which component species manifest a characteristic dome geometry. These shrub species are generally sparsely distributed on the stony slopes; many of these taxa bristle with sharp spines and comprise a set of taxa that are common to similar height montane zones in North Africa and other parts of the European Mediterranean. Characteristic species of this zone are Bupleurum spinosum, Erincea amthyllus, Astralagus granatensis, and Vella spinosa, the last of which assumes a xeromorphic form in this zone.
Mediterranean-montane zone
This ecological zone spans elevations of 1200 to 1700 meters. In the late Holocene this realm was covered in majority by native oak woodlands, most of which have now been destroyed by agricultural land conversion; however, there are some notable extant stands of these oak forests in such places as the east side of Laroles Canyon about two kilometers north of the village of Laroles. In any case, many of the understory plants characteristic of such oak woodlands are still present in this zone, including: Stachys lusitanica, Phlomis criinita, Lavandula lanata, Salvia lavandafolia, Geum heterocarpum, Digitalis obscura, Helleborus foetidus and Paeonia coriacea.
Mediterranean zone
Intensively cropped areas on Sierra Nevada south slopes, Laroles Canyon, about 1200 meters elevation. @ C.Michael Hogan This heavily disturbed zone lies below elevation 1200 meters. While there are remnants of oak forests in steep or stony soils, most of the primordial tree cover is removed, with replacement by cultivated olives, oranges and almonds along with introduced chestnut trees. Characteristic native shrubs found in this zone are Genista umbellata, Helichrysum stoechas and Lygos sphaerocarpa; moreover, the limited distribution plant Anthyllis vulneria subsp. argyrophylla occurs only in southern Spain, including the Sierra Nevada. At the upper extent of this zone are found many deciduous spiny thickets comprised of such taxa as Berberis hispanica, Rosa micrantha, and Ulex parviflorus subsp. funkii.
The northern slopes, being more steep, generally offer more rapidly flowing streams than the southern flanks of the Sierra Nevada. Snowmelt keeps many of the streams as perennial features, even though most flow rates are modest. A number of river diversions exist particularly on the southern slopes, where agriculture has been nurtured for at least the last three millennia. Many of these diversions occur at altitudes as high as 1500 meters to supply water to almond, olive and other crops. Results of these diversions include degradation of considerable riparian habitat.
The principal river draining the northern slopes is the Rio Genil, which ultimately discharges to the Rio Guadalquivir. The origin of the name Genil derives from the river's Roman name Singilis, belying the early presence on the northern slopes by the Romans. The southern flanks are drained by a series of relatively narrow river valleys such as the Rio Laroles.
Ancient history
Bowl from Los Millares. Source: José-Manuel Benito Álvarez
Prehistory of the region includes not only Neanderthal presence but also very early Homo sapiens who left elaborate cave paintings at such sites as Cuevas de la Pietra circa 30,000 years before present, situated not far from the western verge of the Sierra Nevada. An elaborate chalcolithic age city was discovered at Los Silillos, also somewhat west of the Sierra Nevada, with an areal extent of around 180,000 square meters. At the eastern end of the Sierra Nevada is an even more well known archaeological site of Los Millares, which dates to at least as early as the late fourth millenium BC as a chalcolithic site, whose culture influenced the entire region.
The written history of the region, including the minting of coins, shows some of the earliest sophisticated settlements to have been of Punic origin. Coinage records indicate the majority of coin mintage in the region to have come from Roman times, and to have occurred on lower flank southern slope locations. Interestingly, the coin designs show evidence of Punic and local Iberian tribe influence. indicating Roman concessions to earlier cultural traditions. It is also notable that the third largest Roman city in the entire Empire lay only slightly west of the Sierra Nevada at Italica.

July 12th, 2012
Last year, when Oregon Health Authority officials announced they would adopt the 2009 FDA Retail Food Code, restaurateurs suddenly faced a piece of legislation that would prohibit foodservice workers to touch prepared food with their bare hands. The gloves came off.
The no-bare-hands rule was originally supposed to go into effect on July 1, but Oregon public health officials delayed the decision because of public debate that these new safety rules were not actually safe.
The rule would have prohibited food handlers from contacting "exposed, ready-to-eat food" with their bare hands. Instead, any contact would have to be made with "suitable utensils," including deli tissue, spatulas, tongs and single-use gloves.
Wednesday, regulators of Oregon's Foodborne Illness Prevention Program announced that "…at this time, the 'No Bare Hand Contact' section of new food safety rules will not be adopted."
"While the regulation is being put into place to prevent norovirus contamination, the bottom line is that gloves alone will not prevent the problem without being used in combination with hand washing," says Mindy Brashears, a professor of food safety at Texas Tech University. Norovirus is what laymen more commonly refer to as food poisoning.
"We would not want an employee to simply put on a pair of gloves after using the restroom; we also need them to wash their hands. Covering up contaminated hands is not the answer, removing the contamination is important," she says.
Oregon-based chefs like Adam Sappington and John Gorham agree.
Sappington, the executive chef at The Country Cat Dinner House & Bar in Portland, regards the now-void ban as "crazy."
"I got a little philosophical about the whole idea. It takes away one of the senses of cooking," he says. "It's more likely that you're going to wash your hands less, and moving from hot to cold, hot to cold in gloves, things are just going to fester."
Gorham, the chef of Toro Bravo, Tasty n Sons and Interurban in Portland, says while there is a time and a place for gloves, requiring them at all times is downright dangerous.
"As much as people are fighting against the gloves, I spend a lot of money on gloves," says Gorham, who says his staff does wear gloves when butchering and cleaning fish and shellfish.
"Most of the gloves are made out of a rubber product and they break down with animal fat," he says, noting plastic's potential to leach chemicals into meat.
"I'll do what I think is best, but I'm not going to obey a law that will actually harm you," he says.
Members of Oregon's Foodborne Illness Prevention Program are hopeful that industry intuition, like Gorham's, will help avoid fisticuffs in the future.
In addition to dismissing the bare-hand rule, the program's website stated it will, in the next few months, allow restaurateurs, chefs, government inspectors and interested consumers to form a workgroup and have a hand in future food safety decisions.

First, let's get you in the right mindset. Click this and turn your volume on high.
Okay, now it's down to business. You've booked a trip to Miami – but before you hit up those white sandy beaches and over-the-top nightclubs, there are a few things you should know about this city's dress code. The most important? Leave all preppy polos at home. Just do it. Read on:
More is More
Have a few bangles on? Add more. Showing a little skin? Show more. Here, stacks of gold arm candy and peekaboo tops are an absolute must.
Color is the New Black
When in Miami, resist the default option of standby neutrals and go instead for bold, standout colors. I'm talking retina-popping hues like neon pink and electric blue – and if they happen to be on a kaftan, well, bonus points for you. Remember: if it can stop traffic, you should probably wear it.
One-Pieces Rule
In most parts, bikinis are the popular ones. But in Miami, a one-piece isn't just considered a swimsuit – it's deemed an outfit. Add shades, a pair of wedges, and hop from rooftop to rooftop.
Our Road Trip Across America: Next Up, Miami Boutique opens Thursday, July 11, at 11AM.

Finance minister Mustafa Mkulo has directed the Procurement and Supplies Professionals and Technicians Board (PSPTB) to come with strategies that would reduce expenditure use.
He issued the directive here when opening the fourth meeting of PSPTB workers' council, saying the move would enable the government to accomplish the planned activities.
He said the board is important in building the country's economy, adding that the government spends millions of shillings in procurement.
Mkulo said the other challenge facing the government is the prevalence of ghost workers in public offices hence forcing them to regularly conduct censuses to identify genuine workers.
Speaking earlier, the PSPTB chief executive officer, Dr Clemence Tesha, said the board is facing financial constraints which pull back its performance.
However, he noted that the board will continues to register new professionals according to its stipulated laws and regulations.
He said all procurement and supply professionals as well as technicians including those registered by the former National Board for Materials Management (NBMM) are required to register anew immediately under the PSPTB Act.
Dr Tesha said more than 710 procurement and supply professionals have been registered so far, adding that those who are not registered are given six months from now on to register.
According to him, all procurement and supplies professionals are reminded that pursuant to Section 11 of PSPTB Act No. 23 of 2007 no person is allowed to continue working or practicing the profession in both public and private sectors without being registered by PSPTB.

I had some requests on my Facebook fan page, you are a fan right, for a few different recipes. Some are things I can't see spending the money to make because no one here but me would eat it and some are for foods I couldn't imagine eating, such as octopus or squid or organ meats.Many Italians do eat those things but I am not one of them. I am too American and well, frankly, a bit grossed out at some of those things. Maybe one day I'll try some of those, but not the organ meats! But I want to share the ones I found with others and let you know about the wealth of information available online. Don't forget to utilize youtube for recipes and tutorials. Many are posted there as well. Just search for Italian cooking recipes or lessons.
A friend wanted an Eggplant Parmigiana recipe and I found one on the Food Network by Mario Batali. I would actually try this one because it's not fried but baked and so the fat content is somewhat reduced. He also uses fresh mozzarella instead of the shredded mozzarella in a bag and I think the fresh cheese will give this a different flavor all together. So I will probably try this one.
Next up is a Fetticuni Alfredo recipe. I looked for several back in January when my daughter requested this for her birthday. I can't remember what I ended up using but try this recipe from eHow with step by step instructions. It is a fattening sauce so use it sparingly.
Now onto antipasti recipes. There are so many recipes for great Italian "appetizers" that it's almost impossible for me to list them all. But there are some favorites among the blogs I visit and some are simply popular all over Italy.
Caponata is one of them. This is an eggplant "relish" and all vegetarian and healthy!
This Italian version of the Mexican seven layer dip is wonderful. I made this in January and we all loved it so much that I made it again as a side dish to a pasta meal. Be sure to make a good crunchy crostini to serve it with, but good crackers will work as well.
The Caprese salad is one of my favorites and almost anyone can do this without fail. One tip, get a good quality olive oil if you are going to make good tasting Italian food. I have both cheap and more costly olive oils here and I use them at different times, but for a salad, use the better oil, extra virgin would be better.
If you are looking for something more pesante or rich in flavor or difficult to digest, how about these delcious looking Parmesan-Reggiano stuffed onions wrapped in Proscuitto de Parma? I would have to wait about 30 minutes after eating one or two of those to even think about adding in the primo and secondi courses!
Here is one example of a video at youtube showing a classic antipasti plate. I might be using some of these Saturday when we have friends over for Italian food! It's very simple.
I am a lover of artichoke hearts and olives. They are a great pairing for a quick salad. Here is what I do, so this is basically my own recipe.
1 can of quartered artichoke hearts, in water-drained
1/2 can of ripe black olives-drained
1/2 can of ripe green olives, not Spanish olives. Lindsay brand has a line of Naturals which has the green olives-drained
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 clove of minced garlic
olive oil and red wine vinegar
salt and pepper
pinch of red pepper flakes, optional as they add heat
grated parmesan cheese, optional
croutons or dry crusty bread in chunks
Mix all together in a bowl and add enough oil and vinegar until moistened. Let sit for about 15 minutes before serving for bread to soften a bit and flavors to mix.
Italian food is simple and easy. Please believe you can make good food. And it doesn't need to cost a lot either. If you can't afford the best then buy the best you can afford. Relax and enjoy your food.

Michelle Obama on Mother's Day and Beyond
This Sunday Michelle Obama will spend her first Mother's Day in the White House. We don't know much about the surprises planned -- other than that they will almost certainly involve her two daughters, her happens-to-be-President of a husband and a dog named Bo. Yes, she already gets a fantastic breakfast every day, superbly prepared by the White House Chef, but she's no doubt looking forward to something more...authentic. You know, the burned waffle, soggy bacon, and over-filled orange juice glass combination that somehow, inexplicably, makes our insides glow. You can just tell that Mrs. Obama, First Lady or not, relishes those prosaic joys. Though she's been busy with a number of issues in her first 100 plus days in office, the one impression that really sticks so far -- she's just crazy about those girls. (O.K. And the clothes.)
How refreshing. Think about it. This is also the first Mother's Day that we've had a new role model in the White House. Our first post-feminist first lady. Mrs.Obama, that hugely accomplished, highly educated lawyer, with a Harvard and Princeton pedigree no less, did not arrive on the East Lawn with any chip on her shoulder. (A boulder of the sort that we later learned had been crushing poor Cherie Blair, for example. Her advice to the incoming first lady -- learn to like the back seat.)
No -- Michelle doesn't seem to have anything to prove -- any angst over the fact that her "career" might be on hold for a while -- any frustration because she might technically be as "smart" as that guy next to her who's running the country.
Mrs. O. represents instead a new wave of women in their 40s who are starting to embrace the fact that their career may come in waves, instead of a straight path to a questionable "top." Women more and more are making seemingly counter-intuitive decisions about work -- rejecting promotions, turning down better paid positions, in order to gain what they really want -- time. Time with kids, time for marathons, time for their lives. They are dialing back careers, working three or four day weeks, whatever the formula -- knowing it's the right decision for right now. True, for many of us it hasn't been easy to reach this modern nirvana. And yes, many of us do worry about the future. But having Michelle Obama out there making the moves all look so strong and sensible sure helps.

2006 Seidenberg Scholars Summer Experience
June 25, 2007 ~ June 29, 2006
In an effort to identify prospective Seidenberg Scholars scheduled to enter in fall 2007, the Ivan G. Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems of Pace University invited top high school students from across the country to participate in an exciting summer experience on the Pace downtown campus that combined both a challenging academic activity with a great deal of fun and sightseeing in the "Big Apple."
The process of identifying participants was selective, requiring applicants to submit transcripts and test scores, request recommendations from guidance counselors or teachers, and write an essay proposing a technological solution to a significant global problem or need. Of the 500 students invited to apply, 133 submitted applications, 32 were accepted, and 31 ultimately attended. The group averaged 1440 on the SAT with three scoring a perfect 1600! They came from 12 states with two from as far away as Arizona and Montana. There were six young women in the program. All had indicated an interest in pursuing science, math, engineering or computing in college.
After four jam-packed days, everyone involved including the students, their parents, and the Seidenberg School faculty and staff who made it all happen, enthusiastically agreed that the first Seidenberg Scholars Summer Experience was a resounding success!!
Once the participants arrived midday on Sunday, June 25, they wasted no time getting started. They were divided into teams and given their assignments by Richard Kline, PhD who designed the challenges and served as their mentor throughout their stay. Each team was assigned two challenges involving alternative energies and renewable resources ? one involving solar energy, the other wind power ? and were charged with developing workable solutions for each using LEGO robotics computing tools. The teams worked on their projects collaboratively in three-hour sessions called "design sprints." They became truly engaged with their assignments. Some even expressed frustration in not having more time to work through them, but "all work and no play" does not make for a well-rounded New York City experience.
Each day, during lunch, a faculty member addressed the group on a topic relating to computing. Michael Gargano, PhD gave a talk on genetic algorithms, Professor Catherine Dwyer provided "helpful hints" on "Planning for your IT Career," and Mary Courtney, PhD challenged them with a missing digit problem. Charles Tappert, PhD and Allen Stix, PhD, spoke about pattern recognition.
After lunch on Monday, the students went uptown for a guided tour of the American Museum of Natural History followed by a walk through Central Park. They later went to Times Square where they had dinner at John's Pizza. Their sightseeing continued on Tuesday afternoon with a Circle Line Harbor Cruise of lower Manhattan; a visit to the South Street Seaport Museum where Jeff Remling, a Pace alumnus, told the group how he had combined his passion for history with his interest in computing resulting in his ongoing pursuit of a digital history of lower Manhattan; and a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. In the evening, participants enjoyed a multi-course Chinese banquet and then went on to see "Blue Man Group," an unusual and entertaining off-Broadway play made even more enjoyable through the participation of Caitlin O'Gara, a group member, who was recruited from the audience.
On Wednesday, the students switched gears and came to Westchester. They spent the morning touring IBM's Industry Solutions Lab in Hawthorne, NY and then visited Pace's Pleasantville campus where they heard a talk about the behaviors and characteristics of various species of animals given by James Eyring of the Environmental Center. They then heard from Pace Energy Manager, Bill Batina about recycling such as reusing french fry oil to fuel a bus. The talk was followed by a campus tour, and a barbecue outside the Campus Center completed the day.
One of the most exciting highlights of the experience came when Ivan G. Seidenberg, CEO of Verizon Communications and the individual after whom the school was recently named, dropped by on Tuesday afternoon to meet the prospective scholars and to observe them working in the lab. He inquired about their projects and made an effort to learn more about each student by asking them to state their name, home state, and one interesting fact about themselves.
Another and equally exciting highlight was the presentation of each team's completed assignment in the presence of Seidenberg faculty and proud parents, and the bestowal of awards. Although more than one team was assigned a given challenge, each approached the problem differently and came up with different solutions demonstrating that there often is no one right answer to a problem. All of the robot designs and programmed behaviors were excellent, making it difficult for the judges to determine who placed first for each challenge but ultimately named the winners as follows:
Before departing, the students, exhilarated by their brief but intense experience, gathered for their final lunch together. All were glad that they had come but sad that they were about to leave their new friends with whom they had shared so much. All appeared impressed with Pace and many expressed firm interest in applying for the Seidenberg Scholars program. One mom commented that her son "had a fantastic time and now Pace is on his short list."
The Seidenberg Scholars program was established at the request of Mr. Seidenberg who, at the time he made his gift of $15 million to the school, stipulated that a third of it be used to recruit and nurture talented students with a flair for innovation from among the nation's "best and brightest." The first group of five Seidenberg Scholars is expected to enter in fall 2007. They will receive close to full scholarships. The Seidenberg Scholar Summer Experience, superbly organized and run by Bernice Houle, associate dean, and Jonathan Hill, assistant dean and director of special projects, was established to begin the process of identifying suitable applicants and to make those unfamiliar with the school aware of all we have to offer.

Michigan Oncology Journal
From the Editor
Traditionally, cancer therapy began with surgery, followed by radiation therapy, followed by chemotherapy. Now we can add biologic agents to the armamentarium of the cancer physician. This issue of Michigan Oncology Journal highlights important new developments at the University of Michigan Cancer Center.
For well over a decade, Fred Chang has been an international leader in the development of adoptive immunotherapy strategies for patients with renal cancer and patients with malignant melanoma. In this article, he reviews the requirements for successful adoptive immunotherapy strategies in patients by highlighting the principles learned from the appropriate animal models. CT scans of patients illustrate the effectiveness of this strategy. Jim Mulé has brought a new technology and strategy to Ann Arbor with the use of dendritic cells as the principal ingredient for a cancer vaccine. Dendritic cells are called the professional antigen-presenting cells because of the effectiveness with which these cells present antigens to lymphocytes and induce immunologic response. Currently this strategy is being explored in patients with breast cancer. Another strategy under investigation is described by Joe Uberti from our bone marrow and stem cell transplant program. Recent studies suggest that high-dose chemotherapy stem cell support for patients with widely disseminated cancer, such as breast cancer, is not as effective as initially published. Dr. Ubertis strategy immunizes patients with a dendritic cell vaccine, thus immunizing patients against their own tumor post-bone marrow transplant. Still another strategy using dendritic cells is described by Bruce Redman. Flt3-Ligand is a new cytokine that not only stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells but also significantly increases the natural production of dendritic cells. It is under evaluation by Dr. Redman and colleagues, in cooperation with M.D. Anderson Hospital and the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Center.
For years, we have heard researchers present new findings with the hope that they would lead to better patient outcomes. Recently, we have heard translational as the buzzword or mantra for clinical research. The trials described in this issue of MOJ are exciting and represent a new direction based, in part, on improving natures own way of dealing with adversity. Hopefully, translational research doesnt necessarily mean from the laboratory to the clinic, but rather from adversity to success.

"My fiancée actually picked this design for our save the dates! I wasn't sold on it at first, but it was his favorite, and after we personalized it and made it look exactly how we wanted it to, I started to love it. Once they arrived in the mail, I was so impressed with the quality and how cute they turned out! I'm definitely glad we chose this design, and that we were able to do some things to make it our own. We will absolutely be returning to personalize and purchase formal invitations!"
"I absolutely loved the save the dates. They showed up a week early. They're very thick and durable, surprisingly much so even. They just look fantastic; absolutely beautiful!! :D"
"I would recommend this site to anyone! Their site was easy to navigate and find the perfect Save the Date for us and their costumer service was extremely helpful in creating a unique product."
"Great product! It was easy to design and they turned out super cute! I was able to add extra pictures on the back with a quote and our registries."
"These save the date announcements are simply breathtaking. When I received the package, I was simply blown away with how absolutely beautiful these were. The card stock is very thick, but not overly thick. The laser etching is absolutely amazing. It seems to be very fragile, but even after repeated handling, the laser etching did not bend or tear. I noticed that there is some evidence of heat being applied to the laser etching, since there are trace amounts of scorch marks, however I believe this gives a very rustic feeling and is really hardly evident. I imagine that a white backdrop might show quite a bit more of a discoloration. Our guests who received them where really impressed with them. This prompted almost all of their friends and family asking "where did they get those done!?" I am truly impressed with how well this style fits our theme and I would 110% recommend this style."

Article: CDM - Clean Development Mechanism
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is one of the market-based mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol used by Countries with commitments under the Protocol to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in order to meet their emission targets. It has been operational since the beginning of 2006. As of mid-2011, there were 6,292 projects in the CDM pipeline (see CDM project cycle below).
Renewable energy projects account for nearly two-thirds of CDM projects and include such things as hydro, wind and biomass projects. Methane avoidance, landfill gas, afforestation and reforestation, and energy efficiency projec are also common CDM projects.
CDM projects are extremely similar to Joint Implementation (JI) projects, another of the market-based mechanisms under the Jyoto Protocol, with one major distinction: where the project is based. Under JI, an industrialized country can meet part of its target by carrying out a project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in another developed (Annex I) country. CDM is very similar, but the project activities must be hosted by a developing country. CDM projects are far more common than JI projects (6,292 to 437 as of mid-2011).
The CDM is defined in Article 12 of the Protocol, and allows a country with an emission-reduction or emission-limitation commitment under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex B Party) to implement an emission-reduction project in developing countries. Such projects can earn saleable certified emission reduction (CER) credits, each equivalent to one tonne of CO2, which can be counted towards meeting Kyoto targets. The mechanism is seen by many as a trailblazer. It is the first global, environmental investment and credit scheme of its kind, providing a standardized emissions offset instrument, CERs. A CDM project activity might involve, for example, a rural electrification project using solar panels or the installation of more energy-efficient boilers.
A CDM project must provide emission reductions that are additional to what would otherwise have occurred. The projects must qualify through a rigorous and public registration and issuance process. Approval is given by the Designated National Authorities. Public funding for CDM project activities must not result in the diversion of official development assistance.
CDM Executive Board
The CDM Executive Board (EB) supervises the Kyoto Protocol's clean development mechanism under the authority and guidance of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (COP/MOP). The CDM EB is fully accountable to the COP and MOP. The EB is the ultimate point of contact for CDM Project Participants for the registration of projects and the issuance of Certified Emission Reduction Units (CERs).
The EB is supported by the Methodologies Panel, Accreditation Panel, Registration and Issuance Team, Small-Scale Working Group, Afforestation and Reforestation Working Group, and the UNFCCC Secretariat.
Designated Operational Entity
The authority responsible for project certification is separate from the EB, although it is designated by the EB. A designated operational entity (DOE) under the CDM is either a domestic legal entity or an international organization accredited and designated (on a provisional basis until confirmed by the CMP) by the CDM Executive Board. It has two key functions:
- A DOE validates and subsequently requests registration of a proposed CDM project activity
- A DOE verifies emission reductions of a registered CDM project activity, certifies as appropriate and requests the Board to issue certified emission reductions accordingly.
Designated National Authority
In accordance with the CDM modalities and procedures, Parties participating in the CDM shall designate a national authority for the CDM. The registration of a proposed CDM project activity can only take place once approval letters are obtained from the designated national authority of each Party involved, including confirmation by the host Party that the project activity assists it in achieving sustainable development. The DNA is the authority who approves of projects and facilitates participation in CDM activities.
CDM Project Cycle
In order for an activity to become a CDM project and receive certified emission reductions, a seven step process must be undertaken. After completion of all the steps, the CERs will be awarded. The steps are:
Project Design Document (PDD): Prepared by the project participant, the project design document form was developed by the Executive Board on the basis of Appendix B of the CDM modalities and procedures. Project participants shall submit information on their proposed CDM project using the CDM-PDD form. In this form, the project participant must include a general description of project activity, application of a baseline and monitoring methodology, duration of the project activity and crediting period, environmental impacts, and stakeholders' comments.
National Approval by a Designated National Authority (DNA): The DNA of a Party involved in a proposed CDM project activity must submit a letter which indicated that the country has ratified the Kyoto Protocol, the participation is voluntary, and a statement from the host party that the proposed CDM project activity contributes to sustainable development.
Validation: An independent evaluation of the project activity by a designated operational entity (DOE) against the requirements of the CDM according to the CDM modalities, procedures, and relevant Kyoto decisions is conducted.
Registration: A valid project submitted by DOE to the CDM EB must go through registration, which is considered the formal acceptance by the EB of a project activity. The registration process consists of a completeness check by the secretariat, vetting by the secretariat and EB, and possible review if a Party or three members of the EB request such review.
Monitoring: The project participant is responsible for monitoring the actual emissions according to their approved methodology.
Verification: The DOE then verifies that emission reductions took place in the amount that they were claimed to according to the approved monitoring plan. Verification occurs after the fact. After the reductions are verified, it receives certification, or written assurance, by the DOE entity that conducted the verification.
- CER Issuance: Lastly, the DOE submits a verification report with request for issuance to the CDM EB. In this request, the DOE includes the completeness check by the secretariat and vetting by the secretariat and EB that occurred in the registration process.
CDM Projects
Although CDM projects are hosted globally, most of the CDMs projects are hosted in Asian and Pacific Island Countries. In that region, China and India dominate the CDM market. The countries with the largest number of CDM projects are China, India, Brazil, and Mexico, hosting about 80% of all projects.
CDM projects cover a wide array of topics, including replacement of district heating boilers (energy distribution), switching coal to natural gas (fossil fuel switch), solar thermal power (solar), and shifting from road usage to railroads (transportation).
N2O Emission Reduction in Onsan, Republic of Korea: Countries Involved: Republic of Korea (Host Country), Switzerland, Japan, Netherlands, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Project Description: The project activity consists of the installation of a dedicated facility to convert at high temperature the nitrous oxide into nitrogen based on the process of thermal decomposition. A boiler which generates steam with the high-temperature flue gas coming from the thermal oxidizer will also be installed. The installation of the decomposition facility will enable Rhodia Polyamide Co. Ltd to avoid N2O emissions (GHG emissions), which would in the absence of the project activity have been vented to the atmosphere. The installation of the decomposition facility would not only make Rhodia Polyamide Co. Ltd contribute to sustainable development by restricting the release of GHGs but will also give economic and technical benefits to the country by providing direct and in-direct employment and transfer of thermal decomposition technology to the country.
- Baji River Stage I 10MW Run-of-river Hydropower Project: Countries Involved: China (Host Country), Switzerland, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Project Description: The Baji River Stage I 10MW Run-of-river Hydropower Project is located in Yanyuan County, People's Republic of China. It is a run-of-river project with the power density of 22.49W/m2 and is the first stage of the Baji River hydropower project as a whole. The proposed project will ease up the tension of local power supply. It will also reduce GHG emission and other pollutants emissions from the level if use was continued with commercialized power generation.

When it comes to historic buildings, few generate the level of interest that one-room schoolhouses do. It's hard to pass one by without taking a second look and wondering what life was like for students who were educated there. It's also fascinating to see how they have been remodeled and repurposed into homes, shops, and other useful structures. On February 24, the Library will host a program for all of us who love these old buildings - Michigan's Historic One Room Schoolhouses. Presenter Dianna Stampfler will take us on a photographic tour of schoolhouses throughout Michigan and reveal their history and how many are being used today. Dianna always presents a lively, informative program; and as a resident of southwest Michigan her presentation will include many familiar landmarks. Join us at 7:00 pm on the 24th for a great program, and don't forget that you can always find useful information about Kalamazoo County rural schools under Education in the All About Kalamazoo History section of our website.
