Remember the old commercials where burly, bearded Orson Welles would intone, "We will sell no wine before its time"? Most of us had no idea that the brand he was hawking - Paul Masson - neither required nor would benefit from cellar time. That didn't stop us from yelling "It's time!"
The best Aglianico wine from the Campania region of Italy? It may be the wines produced by a small six-person winery called Cantina Giardino, in the town of Ariano Irpino, says Neil Duarte. He recently paid them a visit.
If you speak French like I speak French, you probably get as confused as I do about its unfamiliar ways. All those consonants that get dropped off the end of words! In Southern France, though, we get a break from rhat ... which makes things more confusing.

Once a popular November wine ritual, Beaujolais Nouveau's ship has pretty much sailed. But that doesn't mean that we don't love Beaujolais! Columnist Richard Fadeley takes a close look at some regional treats.
Pinot Gris and its Italian twin, Pinot Grigio, are still mighty popular. This trend line hasn't changed since I wrote three years ago that Pinot Gris plantings in California had jumped almost 300 percent over the preceding decade.
Ros� wine is pink the world around, no matter what you call it. Whatever we call it, it's still pink wine. Not quite red, not quite white, but something in-between. At its best, pink wine can be a quaff of delight.
Americans "are finally moving in the right direction," writes Taylor Eason. "Many people are reaching for and craving something out-of-the-ordinary - authentic, well-made wines made by people who actually care." Such as Rhône whites.
Think pink! It's hard to imagine a more refreshing option on a sultry summer evening than a chilled, crisp rose wine, sipped by itself or chosen to accompany a salad, cheese course or light summer evening meal.
Once upon a time, not so very long ago, wine writers - even me - stuck to a conventional wisdom about Pinot Noir: Only in Burgundy, we wrote, as recently as the 1980s, does this historic but notable quirky grape achieve greatness in wine. What a difference a generation makes!
The U. S.'s northernmost wine-producing region, Washington state, has soil and climate conditions that give it a clear advantage over the rest of the country in producing wine. Richard Fadeley's panel tastes a sampling of some of the best.
Mention Sauvignon Blanc, and many wine fanciers will think of the ripe, explosively aromatic style that put New Zealand on the wine map, or the dry, acidic and herbal style of the Loire Valley's Sancerre and Pouilly-Fum�. But Italy? Not so much.
More and more Americans are drinking wine daily, but most of us can't fork over $20 per night for the stuff. Taylor Eason has put together tips to finding "super affordable, tasty wines to pair with dinner or to scratch that end-of-the-work-day relaxation itch we all have."
Okay, I'm on the record as being no great fan of high-alcohol wines. Well, other than Port, Madeira, Sherry and other fortified wines that are meant to be that way, anyway. But every rule has its exceptions ...

Seamus and Jim were two callers – both from Connemara. They had followed the story from yesterday when we spoke about a bridge in Seanafeistin. There is now a weight restriction on the bridge which is making it difficult for local residents. We discussed the fact that 80% of Connemara is a special area of conservation which makes planning difficult.
Mary called from Killarney. Her son had his bag stolen from the hold on a Bus Eireann coach from Limerick to Cork. You are not allowed to have your bag with you on the bus but no one will take responsibility for it when it is in the hold.
We ended the programme with a chef who told us the best way of eating pigeon is with black pudding, bacon and little bit of balsamic dressing.

In August 2011, Donnell D. Jackson was committed to a California mental hospital after a judge found him mentally incompetent to stand trial for setting a small fire in a wooded area near a freeway offramp outside Sacramento, court records show.
At the time, the judge found Jackson "lacks the capacity to make decisions regarding anti-psychotic medication" and that his "disorder requires treatment with anti-psychotic drugs," according to records filed in Sacramento County Superior Court.
However, the judge also ruled that the finding that Jackson "lacks the capacity to make decisions does not depend solely on that diagnosis of mental disorder," the records say.
It's not clear how Jackson ended up in Seattle after seemingly spending most of his life bouncing between Northern California and Las Vegas. But according to charging papers filed Tuesday in connection with an unprovoked knife attack in Pioneer Square on Friday night, he arrived here six months ago and told police he's been off his medications for the past four months

The 44-year-old is accused of fatally stabbing Troy Wolff, a 43-year-old professor and chair of the English department at Shoreline Community College, and critically injuring Wolff's girlfriend, Kristen Ito, 30.
Ito was released from Harborview Medical Center on Monday.
Jackson, who was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, is being held in the King County Jail in lieu of $2 million bail.
"The defendant claims to be schizophrenic," he is homeless, has no permanent address or employment and "has no known family or friends in Seattle," King County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Don Raz wrote in charging papers.
Court and public records, however, indicate Jackson has a child with a former girlfriend from California and both now live in the Seattle area. One of the woman's relatives said Tuesday that the woman had no idea Jackson had made the 750-mile trip north from Sacramento and was now living here.
It's not clear whether Jackson was aware that the woman and child live in the Seattle area.
After his arrest in the knife attack, Jackson "was lucid," understood detectives' questions and answered appropriately, charging papers say. Detectives say he told them he recognized the man — Wolff — as someone who had pulled a gun on him at a light-rail station an hour before the attack, the papers say.
Jackson apparently thought the couple were "members of a group that was stalking him and trying to kill him," and the group was "holding several people hostage in South Seattle," the charges say.
According to police, Wolff and Ito were among the 55,000 soccer fans who attended a Seattle Sounders game on Friday night at CenturyLink Field. After leaving the game, couple was walking through Pioneer Square around 10:30 p.m. when Jackson "started suddenly attacking Ito" near Third Avenue South and South Jackson Street, the papers say. When Wolff intervened, he was repeatedly stabbed in the chest, neck and abdomen, according to the charges.
Other people called police and attempted to help Wolff, the papers say. One witness told officers "he heard Jackson saying, 'I'm going to kill you' to the victims," according to the papers.
"Officers arrived quickly and found Jackson still standing over the now-down Wolff. One witness standing nearby before the police arrived said Jackson kept repeating, 'Blood money,' " the papers say.
The folding-blade knife used in the random attack was found at the scene, according to the papers.
According to a spokesman for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Jackson was arrested in Las Vegas in June 2009 for several traffic violations and possession of stolen property. It couldn't immediately be determined if he served jail time there.
Court records show Jackson racked up traffic violations and misdemeanor crimes in Arizona and Oregon. He also filed for bankruptcy in May 2010 while he was living in Las Vegas, but the case was dismissed that November after Jackson failed to make plan payments to debtors, according to documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
In June 2011, Jackson was charged in Sacramento County Superior Court for intentionally setting a fire that burned "a structure and forest land located at Interstate 80 at the Elkhorn Boulevard Exit," court records show. The exit is east of Sacramento, in the city of North Highlands, where court records show Jackson was living at the time.
He was later ordered to pay $434.15 to the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District.
It appears Jackson spent about three months at Napa State Hospital before returning to court in December 2011, when he was placed on probation for five years, court records say.
Court records show that a warrant was issued for Jackson's arrest in October 2012 for violating probation and he was sentenced in November to a 30-day jail term — the last information available.

Have you noticed masses of webbing on the ends of some of your tree branches? They are the work of the fall webworm, a species of caterpillar native to our region. The outbreak of fall webworms occur every year here in late summer and fall, but are particularly prolific this year. The good news is that they rarely cause serious damage and in most cases there is no reason to do anything about them.
These caterpillars will feed for four to six weeks, then leave the host tree to spin the cocoon that they�ll live in all winter.
This mass of webbing is known as a nest, containing hundreds of webworms and can expand to three feet across or more. But the main concern is whether they will cause permanent damage to your tree. Webworms only damage tree leaves and don�t kill branches the nests are on. Established trees can tolerate losing a considerable amount of foliage, particularly at this time of year and the nests will weather away over the winter. The injury caused by the webworms is cosmetic and doesn�t affect the tree�s health. In most cases there is no need to do anything about the fall webworms. The exception is young, recently planted trees which can be completely defoliated by webworms. Then it is beneficial to treat or physically remove webworms before significant leaf loss occurs. Any product labeled to control caterpillars will work. Products containing neem oil or B.T. are good organic choices. Check first to see if the caterpillars are still in the webs. If not, spraying will be both unnecessary and ineffective. Insecticides are highly toxic to bees, so wait until late evening to spray after they have returned to their hive.
Litter is a problem that never seems to go away in New Bern. It doesn�t take that many people to create big problems. Groups and individuals are keeping it from being catastrophic. Craven Clean Sweep will attempt to tackle it again on Oct. 5. Clean Sweep is an effort by volunteers to help rid the county of litter. This sweep kicks off at 9 a.m. at Lawson Creek Park and our hope is to get plenty of volunteers from organizations, civic groups and schools. You don�t need to commit for the entire morning. Any time at all someone can give to the effort is worthwhile and appreciated. You can do a lot in an hour or two. When the cleanup is over, the bags are left beside the roads for the Department of Transportation to haul off. You can call the Craven County Agriculture Extension office at 633-1477 or just show up.
The Coastal Environmental Partnership will hold their annual Household Hazardous Waste collection events soon. Pamlico and Craven events will both take place on Saturday, Oct. 12. The Pamlico County Courthouse on N.C. 55 in Bayboro is the site for the Pamlico event. The hours there are 9 a.m. to noon. Craven Community College in New Bern is the site for the Craven event. Signs will direct you to parking lot E, near Orringer Auditorium. The hours there are 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA9) -- A local soccer league is under fire, accused of ignoring child sexual abuse by a coach and former Secret Service agent.
Jake Fisher of Warrenton has just sued the Fauquier County Soccer Club alleging he was sexually abused there by his coach starting when he was just 13.
And Mark Gallick is still coaching elsewhere.
But the accuser is also facing big trouble of his own.
Jake Fisher, a star of youth soccer, and behind him -- the coach at the Fauquier County Soccer Club he now says abused him for five years: at sleepovers, at camp, during overnight trips.
In a lawsuit, Fisher says Mark Gallick plied him with alcohol and GHB, the date rape drug, starting in 2005, and that he sexually assaulted him repeatedly.
Fisher's mother Beth Ann says she only learned about the alleged abuse recently. "He told me that his coach raped him at the soccer summer camp when he was 13," she said, her voice breaking.
Beth Ann Fisher says the Fauquier County Soccer Club allowed Gallick to keep coaching, even after several parents warned the club about his inappropriate conduct with the boys. "The Fauquier County Soccer Club spoke to him, spoke to Mark, and they let him walk out without any discipline. They never alerted the police, they never alerted me."
Beth Ann Fisher says the abuse sent her son spiraling downward until police arrested him in February for robbing the Medicap pharmacy in Harrisonburg, Virginia in search of drugs to end his life. "He didn't want to hurt anybody. And he didn't hurt anybody. He wanted to hurt himself."
Gallick has moved to Colorado, where he continues to coach youth soccer. His father tells me the allegations are false.
But Gallick's history goes back to 1989, when the Boy Scouts of America placed him in their so-called perversion file -- based on another boy's claim that Gallick "grabbed his genitals" at a camp in North Carolina.
Still, the Fauquier County Commonwealth's Attorney wrote last month there was "not sufficient evidence" to file criminal charges against Gallick in the alleged abuse of Fisher.
"Predators like this move in and gain trust and take advantage of these poor young kids who are so impressionable at that age," says John Yannone, Jake Fisher's lawyer at Price Benowitz.
The standard of evidence in a civil lawsuit is lower than in a criminal case. It will now be up to a judge or a jury to decide if the club is legally responsible for allowing this alleged abuse to continue.
Gallick emailed me saying he would call, but so far he has not.
The Fauquier Soccer Club also declined to comment.

I had zimbra installed and everything was working fine. Then I installed Outlook, but I could not get Zimbra to open from Firefox. I then uninstalled Outlook, and had the same problem. I uninstalled Zimbra, downloaded a fresh copy, installed it again and it still will not open mail from my Firefox. Zimbra opens fine from within Internet Explorer.
I have selected "Use Zimbra Desktop as default mail application" under Preferences.
When I tried to set the default mail within Firefox (Tools/Options/Applications), it only allowed me to select an exe file. So I have selected zdesktop.exe. However, when I zdesktop.exe, I get the error message "Unable to load config file".
I have spent hours on this and am unable to get Zimbra to open from within Firefox. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Type: Water
Attack: 75
Defense: 75
Special Attack: 90
Special Defense: 100
Speed: 70
Abilities: Damp / Water Absorb / Drizzle
Recently Politoed took the crown as the number one pokemon away from Scizor since... like 5 years ago. Why? It got drizzle, which means instant rain for the rest of the match. Swift swim abuse + drizzle got banned over a year ago, but one can still use that great boosted water stab on many things and hurricane abuse, it even has defensive niches to decrease fire stab, getting rid of sand, and rain dish tentacruel abuse. Politoed also gets a few nice moves like perish song and encore for support and can be a beast with specs, but lets be honest here, your using it for drizzle.
Common sets:
Politoed @ Leftovers
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Scald
- Toxic
- Perish Song / Encore
- Protect / Ice Beam
Yeah the most common Politoed set, goal: stick around to keep rain up. Personally I prefer the specially defensive version to take on special attackers, but this gives it good mixed bulk I guess. Scald gives the chance to burn which is amazing, toxic can cripple things automatically. Perish song can win endgames and cripple set up sweepers, but on move offensive teams encore can be used to force switches outright. Protect gains leftovers recovery and toxic stalls, while ice beam can kill incoming dragons.
Choice Scarf
Politoed@ Choice Scarf
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power Grass / Perish Song / Toxic
- Surf / Perish Song / Focus Blast
A great check to a ton of things when equipped with a scarf, in rain your effectively at +1 so hydropump still hurts. Ice beam gives good coverage against dragons types. After that your in filler land, HP grass is a popular option to hit Jellicent and Gastrodon, but its doing pathetic damage so sometimes, option for perish song or toxic is better. If you thought that was filler, the best option for the last slot is surf so that if needed you don't miss on the thing your revenging without using unstabbed ice beam. Perish song is always an option, focus blast can hit Ferrothorn or a switched in Tyranitar for pathetic damage, don't use it.
Choice Specs
Politoed @ Choice Specs
Trait: Drizzle
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power Grass / Perish Song / Toxic
- Surf / Perish Song / Focus Blast
Instead of revenging, this set walls breaks, for example with hydropump in the rain Politoed has a chance to 2HKO Blissey after rocks (retarded physically defensive Blissey, but still). One can use it to weaken walls so that something like Keldeo or Tornadus-T and sweep itself. Outside of modest > timid, everything else is the same from the scarf set as far are movepool goes, the only real chance is HP grass and focus blast are stronger which makes them slightly better options, still they are crap though.
Ill do this every monday I guess.

Much enjoyment living life vicariously thru you and following Issuma. What camera are you shooting with? Reason I ask is that here at the magazine we get a few cameras with gps positioning ability inside and I could mention your blog and travels to someone who would load you a camera in return for a review if you are interested. It might make for some interesting reading as well as some publicity for both involved. Hope to see you again soon and happy sailing. Scott
Good to hear from you, glad you're enjoying the blog.
Hope you are doing well and getting some good sailing in.
I started out shooting pictures for the blog with a Pentax Optio WP waterproof camera. When the custom battery in that camera died, I was in Brazil and unable to buy another one, so I switched to a non-waterproof Tron camera, which I used for a year until it got wet.
I then used a Nikon Coolpix for a year until it got wet.
For the last couple of months, I have been shooting the blog pictures with a Fuji Finepix S.
I also have a GoPro Hero waterproof helmet-cam, but I'm using that strictly for video (and am only at the learning stage of how to film with it).
Yes, I would be interested in using a camera with GPS in exchange for a review.

"What midsize sedan should I buy?" The answer to this question has long been "Honda Accord." It's the instinctive response, like being asked your birthday or your dog's name. The Accord has been a top choice in the segment so consistently that recommending one has always been easy. Times are changing, however. With impressive new competitors, the 2011 Honda Accord now has more serious rivals to compete against.
The current-generation Accord (it debuted in 2008) is the biggest yet, offering the most accommodating interior in its class. Yet this super-sizing of the Accord also comes with a downside, because it no longer feels like the "right-size" choice in the family sedan class. While its steering remains responsive and tactile, the Accord has a tendency to feel super-sized when driven around corners. Its acceleration is also a bit underwhelming, with a five-speed automatic transmission doing duty here when most competing models now offer snappier six-speeds.

Kumeu Car FestivalWritten by on August 5, 2013 Contributors: John McCartney, Marc Gewertz, Roger Rohrdanz, John Medcalf Roddin' @ Random
"A" Picnic In The Park
More than 250 Model A's of every body style and configuration—from period-correct restorations to rusto rods—came together recently at Hart Park in the city of Orange, California. The occasion was the 52nd annual pancake breakfast hosted by the Orange County chapter of the Model-A Ford Club of America. Earlier and later early Fords are also welcomed, as pictured on both flanks, but the center stage is still reserved for cars and trucks that rolled off of Henry's assembly line between 1928 and 1931.
'70s Survivors
Old Bridge Township Raceway Park's recent NHRA Summernationals brought this eclectic group of famous artists together for possibly the first—and hopefully not last—time ever. Possibly no other five individuals in motorsports history have inhaled more paint fumes (among other things!) than (left to right) Bob Gerdes (Circus Custom Paints), Julian Braet (Mr. J Signs), Kenny Youngblood, Glen Weisgerber (Glen Designs), and "Jim the Painter" Hartner. A real, real good time was had by all, we presume.
Willy Rare
From age seven, Rob Ida knew he wanted a Willys. His father's shop, Ida Automotive, was a major force on the early East Coast gasser scene, and Bob himself was a regular winner in his own 409-powered A/GS Willys before retiring to concentrate on the Morganville, New Jersey, operation. Father and son have since amassed an impressive collection of Willys cars, trucks, and rare parts. Their shared dream of finding an original, unmolested coupe was realized with the discovery of a rust-free, 49,000-mile '42 Arizona car owned for two decades by fellow collector Eddie Belfour, the Stanley Cup–winning NHL goalie. Although it hadn't moved under power in more than 30 years, when Rob went to look at the car, he was able to turn over the engine. After a trip to the local parts store for a six-volt battery, fluids, hoses, and a few small parts, the four-banger fired right up. He's been driving it ever since, and even made one eighth-mile pass at the dragstrip (14.70 seconds at 49 mph)—where lovely Taylor Miller couldn't resist Rob's invitation to slide into the driver's seat.
Les Paul Lives
When Gibson Guitars' custom shop offered to loan out some background props for this issue's Parts With Appeal section, ad-guy and moonlighting musician Mark Dewey offered to bring them in to the photo session at Estrus Racing. These electric guitars were so impressive and period-perfect for HRD that we worked them both into this shop scene, along with cover-girl Crystal Bentley. Each instrument is a faithful, affordable reproduction of famous '50s originals that have escalated deep into six-figure territory. Crystal is holding the reissued Gold-Top Les Paul, whic comes complete with a patina finish and tarnished hardware. Beside her is the Tobacco-Burst model, also built to Les Paul's original specs. Get more information at GibsonCustom.com.
Cruisin' Customs
About 700 rods, customs, and low riders drew a huge crowd to the West Coast Kustoms Cruisin' Nationals in Santa Maria, California, on Memorial Day weekend. The 32nd annual event, featuring only pre-1961, American-made vehicles, kicked off on Friday with a cruise down the main drag, South Broadway. Located midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco on California's central coast, Santa Maria is famous for its 58 wineries the other 51 weekends of each year, but not on Memorial Day weekend. This show and its host club are widely credited for helping ignite the resurgent popularity of customized cars. Head to WestCoastKustoms.com for more information on this great event.
Do your part to help two HRD contributors, Tommy Lee Byrd and Scotty Gosson, pay the rent by purchasing their respective CarTech books. Tommy's new Lost Drag Strips traces the births, lives, and deaths of defunct tracks including Lions, OCIR, Riverside, Bee-Line, Motion, Motor City, Oswego, U.S. 30, Dover, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, and Pocono in words and pictures. A bonus is the well-written foreword by Big Daddy himself. Scotty's latest is America's Wildest Show Rods of the 1960s & 1970s, featuring the good, bad, and ugly from the peak period of custom-car shows. Whoever laid out these colorful pages (not the author!) mismatched several photo captions, unfortunately, but historical details and 300-plus pictures more than compensate for that minor annoyance. Order both books direct from the publisher at CarTechBooks.com or (800) 551-4754. HRD was still just a gleam in our parent company's eye when The Business of Speed was released, but its well-researched content is timeless, and the 343-page hardcover is still available from Amazon.com. Published by the highly respected Johns Hopkins University Press, David N. Lucsko's textbooklike history of aftermarket speed equipment goes all the way back to the 1910s and its Midwestern origins, shedding long-overdue light on manufacturers that preceded southern California's eventual industry dominance.
Strip Ts
Two ambitious restoration projects are getting underway on the West and East Coasts. Photographer Tim Sutton (email@example.com), one of our favorite freelancers, is seeking photos for a friend who reportedly dug the Dean & White A/Altered "out of the ground" somewhere in California. He's got the big pieces, as you can see, plus valuable input from friends of the late drag and land-speed racer Nolan White, but needs help identifying and positioning the suspension and other components. The Eastern barn find belongs to an old friend of ours, memorabilia dealer Mike Goyda (Goyda.com). "It's not a famous hot rod, but then it never got the opportunity," Mike writes. "Everything you see was purchased in 1965 and has been sitting in a barn ever since. The guy who bought it back then mounted the brackets for the wishbones and cut out a plywood reinforcement for the firewall, then stopped working on it." We'll look forward to seeing and publishing photos of both completed projects.

Among this year's entries into Show Low, Arizona's, annual Soap Box Derby race was Larry Robinson's homebuilt slingshot, made from wood (hand-carved engine block, heads, blower and manifold, pulleys, injector, fuel pump, magneto) and scrap metal. The chassis and body are reminiscent of Paul Sutherland's Charger, a leading contender to legitimately shatter drag racing's 200-mph "barrier" until the Race Car Engineering chassis builder crashed in the summer of 1964. Bicycle wheels are cleverly concealed inside the rear tires. Jill Tippin, the dragster's main sponsor, explains that the host town was named after a "show-low" card game between two men vying for ownership of the host city. The winner pulled the deuce of clubs and promptly renamed the town.
Scene at the Kumeu Car Festival
Auckland is New Zealand's answer to L.A.: great weather and beaches, a sprawling metropolis with the associated traffic problems, large enough size for various parts to have their own unique character. West Auckland's annual Kumeu Car Festival is known for attracting what Kiwis refer to as "bogans" of both sexes—recognizable for their black T-shirts and jeans, advanced partying abilities, and fascination with American iron—along with a wide variety of hot rods, muscle cars, and rare stockers. Anyone driving something interesting gets free entry to the two-day event, so the range of machinery dragged out of sheds is impressive. With no local car industry to protect, New Zealanders have always had relatively good access to and a fondness for American cars. Now, with the Kiwi dollar close to a 20-year high against the greenback, even more Detroit iron is being imported. Te event is always held on the third weekend of January (in the middle of the southern hemisphere's summer). Next year's 20th-anniversary show is sure to be extra special, well worth a hop across the Pacifc. Once you're over the jet lag, you'll feel very much at home, as illustrated by this overview of the 19th edition.

One of my most favorite things is looking at my daughter when I wake up in the morning. We bed share, and sometimes when I wake up, she's already up. Other mornings, I wake and she is stirring, and I watch her arms shoot up in the air, legs kick out and eyelids flutter...slowly opening. I love that moment when her eyes first open and she blinks her sleepy eyes. OMG...
I love hanging out with her all day! Everything she does makes my stomach tighten up like I am going to laugh. My cheeks have been getting an excellent workout :)
Tonight, she laughed for the first time! Daddy made her do it, tickling her tummy. It was SO precious!
I can't imagine going to work either. It must be so hard for those mommies. I feel for 'em.

Military History Manuscripts top level
View the Online Exhibit
Samuel Dickerson Rockenbach, United States Army officer, was born on January 27, 1869 in Lynchburg, Virginia. He was graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1889 and in 1891 was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant. He married Emma Baldwin on October 19, 1898. Prior to World War I he saw tours of duty in Cuba, the Philippines, various U.S. posts, and served as a military observer in Germany in 1914. He arrived in France in June 1917 with the American Expeditionary Force and from 1917-1919 served as Chief of the newly formed Tank Corps, A.E.F. He was notable for his role in the establishment of the Tank Corps and for his work in the development of tank warfare.
At the end of the war, Rockenbach continued his work with tanks, serving as the Army's Chief of the Tank Corps and as Commander of the Tank School at Camp Meade, Maryland. He retired to Brownsville, Texas in 1933 and died in 1952 at the Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, DC.
The papers contain approximately 1000 items that document Rockenbach's career in the United States Army. Included are correspondence and memoranda (1889-1945), military orders (1891-1933), Tank Corps operations reports (1918), numerous photographs of early tank designs and tank maneuvers, drawings of tank designs, and reports and minutes of the Inter-Allied Tank Committee. Also included are letters and photographs documenting the early army career of George S. Patton, Jr., who served under Rockenbach during World War I (ca. 15 items). Other notable correspondents are John J. Pershing, Leonard Wood, Douglas MacArthur, James G. Harbord, and Charles P. Summerall.For additional information about the Rockenbach Papers, see the detailed online guide to this collection.

New Poll Shows Majority Of Americans Think The GOP Is Out Of Touch And Extreme
By T. Steelman
It looks like the rest of the country has caught up with us here at Addicting Info. According to a new Pew poll released on Tuesday, most of America has figured out that the Republican party has been taken over by the crazies. Sixty-two percent of adults (I guess they didnt talk to any Congressional Republicans) say that the GOP is out of touch and 52% said they were too extreme. Compare that to 46% and 39% who think that, respectively, about the Democratic party.
In every category the pollsters asked about out of touch, extreme, looking out for the countrys future, favorability and disapproval the Republicans scored dismally. The only place they did better than Democrats was in the strength of their principles. Thats fair, I guess. When an entire political party is willing to let the country go to hell in a handbasket just to stick to their guns (literal and figurative), I guess they have strong convictions. Because they certainly have no honor.
The Pew poll spoke to 1,054 adults 366 Republicans and 470 Democrats by phone between Feb 15 and 18. Other polls show similar outcomes: HuffPos pollster has the Republicans at an average 31% favorability. They also show that half of Republicans disapprove of their Congressional representatives and that a majority of all Americans say that the GOP has moved out of the mainstream.
When you look back at the record of the Republican party, even just the recent record, you can clearly see why their numbers are so bleak. Lets examine why the GOP is viewed by so many Americans as out of touch and extreme. Here are just a handful of examples:
Richard Mourdock: Mr. rape babies are a gift from god cost the GOP a Senate seat in the 2012 election with his insensitive remarks. Youd think that would put him out to pasture as far as electability goes. But youd be wrong.
Marco Rubio: Ah, the supposed savior of the GOP. They put him in the spotlight to deliver their response to the State of the Union address a few weeks ago, hoping he would improve their image in the sight of the country. Not. Though they were delivered by a newer face they were the same old failed ideas.
Rand Paul: Where to start with this guy? When hes not insulting Cabinet members, hes fomenting conspiracy theories. He has no idea whats in bills he votes on. Hes the guy the Tea Party chose to give their response to the SOTU address. His logic does not resemble our earth logic.
The message: The last election should have been an eye-opener for the GOP but apparently they still have blinders on. They think that its the *way* they say it. Um, no. From their attitude about women to their policies on immigration to their stubborn clinging to the Defense of Marriage Act, the Republicans hold views that are so far out of step with the nation that it would be laughable if it werent so damaging to so many Americans. Frank Luntz cant save you, guys. Not this time.
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC): As if to prove how backwards they are, this yearly meeting of people who live in the past has invited all of the losers they know. From Sarah Palin to Karl Rove to Paul Ryan, the CPAC folks have invited the flaming stars bags of poop (in the sense of that tired and outdated doorstep prank) that have done so much to embolden ruin the conservative brand. But no invite for Chris Christie. He was a bad boy and does not salute the GOP flag (the one with a dunce cap on it) so he was snubbed this year.
And then there is their continual use of the term the American people, as if they have an actual idea (or even care) what the people really want, say or feel. We can pretty much assume that any time we hear a Republican say that, he is relating what his corporate masters want, say or feel. Because if they really did know what we want 92% want background checks for gun buyers, for example they would not be trying to destroy the country in pursuit of their ideological and monetary happiness at the cost of ours. Yes, the GOP is out of touch. They are extreme. They are unpopular and, all the gods willing, they are soon to be extinct.

Williams Returns To ISU As Associate Head Coach
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head tennis coach Armando Espinosa has announced the return of Chris Williams as an associate head coach. Williams was an assistant coach for the Cyclones from 2008-10 after serving as a volunteer coach for the program in 2007-08.
Williams served as head coach of the Bradley women's tennis team last season, helping the Braves to their best win total in 20 years. Under his guidance, Bradley won nine matches in 2012-13 after going just 4-19 the previous season. Prior to Bradley, Williams spent two seasons as an assistant coach with the men's program at Air Force.
"Chris has an enthusiasm that is infectious and he's been successful at all of his stops," Espinosa said. "He has a great understanding of what a special place Iowa State is and that led to him and his family wanting to return. I am very excited to have him back in Ames."
During his first tenure in Ames, Williams helped Iowa State to a number of milestones. The Cyclones reached No. 66 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll during the 2009-10 season. He helped bolster the recruiting efforts as Iowa State landed Mexico's top-ranked player in Maria Fernanda Macedo and top-10 Canadian prep Marie-Christine Chartier as well as four of the top-100 U.S. players.
"I am excited to get back to Iowa State," Williams said. "It is where I started my coaching career and I love the Iowa State Athletics Department. I really enjoyed working with Armando the first time around and I have a lot of respect for how he coaches. I can't wait to get started."
Williams also served as head coach at his alma mater, Buena Vista, in 2004 after earning his bachelor's degree in sports and fitness management. He played tennis for the Beavers and teamed with Nate Stuck to win the 2002 Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title at No. 2 doubles.
Williams and his wife, Nikki, have two-year old daughter, Reese.

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - The Minnesota Timberwolves used a fourth-
quarter scoring barrage from J.J. Barea and a solid all-around effort from
Kevin Love to halt the Oklahoma City Thunder's 12-game winning streak in a
99-93 decision at Target Center.
The Timberwolves, losers of 12 straight against their Northwest Division
rivals coming in, had allowed five consecutive opponents to score over 100
points, but held the NBA's highest scoring team to 40 percent shooting.
Barea erupted for 14 points in the final frame, while Love added 28 points, 11
rebounds and seven assists for Minnesota, which improved to 8-3 at home.
Nikola Pekovic chipped in 24 points and 10 boards in the unlikely victory.
The Thunder were led by Kevin Durant's 33 points, seven rebounds and six
assists, though it wasn't enough to extend the club's longest winning streak
since relocating to Oklahoma City. Russell Westbrook finished with 30 points,
11 boards and nine helpers, but shot just 9-of-28 from the floor and committed
eight turnovers.

Efficient and controlled information exchange among excipient manufacturers, distributors, and excipient users is crucial to ensure that the optimal information is obained by the user to better control the drug product. The author discusses the use of various documents and guides by the International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council to facilitate this information flow.
A more proactive approach would be to adopt the standardized excipient-information approaches afforded by documents provided by the International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC). By using these documents, excipient users have information about excipient raw-material sources and other information needed to answer regulators' questions without the need to ask further questions of their suppliers. Instead of reacting to a regulatory or industry news headline by sending out questionnaires pertaining to a supplier's source and method of manufacture of an excipient, a pharmaceutical manufacturer can take a more beneficial and economical approach by first reviewing existing information already available from its supplier. These approaches are explained in IPEC guides, including among others: the IPEC Excipient Information Package (EIP) Template and User Guide; the IPEC Quality Agreement Guide and Template; the IPEC Excipient Composition Guide; the IPEC Excipient Qualification Guide; and the IPEC–PQG Excipients GMPs Guide, which offers GMP appropriate for the manufacture of excipients and is a joint initiative between IPEC and the Pharmaceutical Quality Group (PQG).A recent example potentially concerning excipients was the use of "gutter oil" to manufacture antibiotic APIs. Gutter oil is a term used in China to describe illicit cooking oil, which has been recycled from waste oil collected from various sources, such as restaurant fryers, drains, grease traps, and slaughterhouse waste. The potential health effects of gutter oil are unclear because experts have expressed opposing opinions on the safety of the intermediate produced using this oil. The topic, however, became a source of questions from pharmaceutical manufacturers to their excipient suppliers regarding the security of the supply chain of excipients sold in the United States, irrespective of whether or not the excipient could be derived from this material. This incident is another example of where a standardized excipient information package could be used to obviate the need for customer questionnaires and improve the flow of information between excipient manufacturers and users.
Pharmaceutical companies' understanding of the source, quality, and performance of the excipients they use in their drug products is crucial to ensure the safety, quality, and efficacy of the medicines they produce. Excipients have a wide range of applications and are essential components of the drug-product formulation. Characteristics that excipients bring to formulated drug products include appearance, manufacturability, stability, and delivery of the active ingredient. Understanding their composition, performance attributes, manufacturing, and supply chain is essential.
Pharmaceutical users should refer to excipient information previously provided from their suppliers during the user's supplier-qualification processes, such as through the EIP. In the Jatropha and "gutter oil" examples, pharmaceutical companies would have been able to quickly identify excipients that were not subject to the alert and that needed no further follow-up. The informed pharmaceutical user could focus their efforts on the few relevant excipients and APIs.

On Dec. 5, Oracle International Corp. and CedarCrestone Inc. representatives will face off in court for the first time since the software giant accused its former partner of copyright infringement and fraudulent practices in a lawsuit that highlights Oracle's continued quest to protect its software-maintenance business in the face of changing industry practices.
In the first of dueling lawsuits filed in California federal court, Oracle in September accused CedarCrestone of stealing customers and intellectual property, specifically updates for tax and regulatory software originally developed by PeopleSoft, which Oracle acquired in 2005.
CedarCrestone, which has sold maintenance support for the software as an approved Oracle partner since 2005, filed its own lawsuit in mid-October denying any wrongdoing. The company claims the lawsuit is part of Oracle's "broader war on competition," against third-party providers of consulting, implementation and support for its software.
CedarCrestone also alleges that Oracle knew about the business practices in question for several years, yet never complained about them until the day before filing its lawsuit, and earlier this year, even renewed CedarCrestone's partnership agreement and invited the firm to join an elite tier of Oracle business partners.
The software support in question accounts for approximately $1 million in yearly sales, and represents less than 1 percent of CedarCrestone's annual revenue, according to CedarCrestone's countersuit.
Golden Gate Capital, a San Francisco-based private equity firm, paid more than $79 million to buy the privately held Marietta, Georgia-based company in 2011, according to the San Francisco Business Times.
Representatives from Oracle declined to comment. A CedarCrestone lawyer confirmed the companies will meet Dec. 5 for a hearing in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, but declined to provide additional details.
Because CedarCrestone is much smaller than SAP, some industry watchers don't put it in the same league as other competitors Oracle has sued in recent years, including SAP and Rimini Street. Still, it shows how serious Oracle is about protecting its maintenance business, says Jason Averbook, CEO of human resources consultant Knowledge Infusion. "The minute someone starts screwing with it, they come out with gloves off," he says.
Averbook predicts that legal squabbles over software maintenance and support fees will go away as more companies stop using the kind of on-premise HR software that's at the heart of the litigation, software that companies must license on an annual basis and run on their own servers. In its place, they're adopting cloud-based software services that are accessed over the Internet and paid for through subscription fees that include updates.
But that transition isn't happening overnight. Small and midsize companies may be moving to cloud-based HR software, but it will be slower going for large enterprises. "It's going to take longer to wipe out your whole ERP system and move to the cloud," says Adam Mansfield, director of services for Upper Edge, referring to enterprise resource planning systems. Upper Edge is a Boston consultant that helps companies negotiate maintenance contracts for Oracle and other HR and business software. "This Oracle third-party support issue is still going to be very relevant for those size organizations for many years to come," Mansfield says.
According to Mansfield, Oracle's legal actions have an unintended silver lining for companies evaluating service contracts. By exposing details of service contracts from Oracle and its competitors, the lawsuits provide companies with leverage to better negotiate their own deals. "This allows us early on to coach our clients to really force Oracle to provide a stronger value proposition, what they'll give and why it's valuable," he says.
CedarCrestone is the latest of three former business partners Oracle has sued over copyright infringement and other issues related to ongoing support for Oracle software from outside providers. In August, SAP agreed to pay Oracle $306 million after admitting liability for illegal downloads by TomorrowNow, a third-party support provider that SAP acquired in 2005. SAP shut down its TomorrowNow operations in 2008. Oracle is appealing the settlement as part of its efforts to obtain $1.3 billion in damages related to the lawsuit.
Oracle is also suing Rimini Street, a third-party support vendor headed by TomorrowNow's former founder and chief executive. Oracle based some claims in its lawsuit against CedarCrestone on material the company uncovered while collecting information for lawsuits against Rimini Street and SAP.

SNOW HILL � After five seasons and 14 wins, Ken Grantham is out as Greene Central�s head football coach.
The Free Press learned late Monday and the school confirmed Tuesday that Grantham has been relieved of his coaching duties following a 1-9 season in which the Rams lost their final nine games.
He will remain on staff as a teacher at the school.
While administration � and Grantham � confirmed he had indeed lost his ability to lead the football program, neither Grantham nor Greene Central Principal Don Marr would elaborate as to why Grantham was relieved.
�I am withholding my comment for a later time,� Grantham said.
Marr released a statement to The Free Press, which said: �Greene Central High School would like to thank Coach Kenneth Grantham for five years of service as the head coach of the Varsity Football Team. After careful consideration, the administration at the high school has decided that the program will move in a new direction.
�Coach Grantham will remain a valuable member of the Greene Central High School faculty but will no longer serve as the head coach of the Varsity Football Team. A search for a new head coach will begin immediately.�
When asked why the move was made, Marr declined to comment further but said, �It was my decision.�
A message left for Rams Athletic Director B.J. Bass seeking comment was not returned.
Grantham took over for Jim Bob Bryant in 2008. The Rams won four games his first season and fell in the first round of the NCHSAA state 2A playoffs.
In five seasons Grantham�s teams went 14-41 and reached the postseason twice, never winning a playoff game.
Grantham�s best season came in 2011 when the Rams went 5-6 overall and finished 2-4 in the Eastern Plains 2A Conference. They fell to 50-0 at Jacksonville Northside in the first round of the state 2A playoffs.
The Rams went 3-8 in 2010 but had to forfeit two games for using an ineligible player.
Greene Central lost its final nine games this season after a season-opening 21-19 victory over North Lenoir. The streak set a school record for consecutive losses according to records kept by The Free Press.
This story will be updated as more details emerge.
