College Hockey:Eagles Reach Fourth Straight Frozen Four
Kobasew Breaks Third-Period Deadlock in Win Over Maine
WORCESTER, Mass. — The Boston College Eagles are heading to the Frozen Four — again.
For the fourth straight year, Boston College advanced for the chance to fight for college hockey's biggest prize thanks to a 3-1 victory over the fifth seed, Hockey East rival Maine, on Saturday.
Chuck Kobasew, the Hockey East Rookie of the Year, scored with 13:45 remaining in the third period to break a 1-1 deadlock, and senior Rob Scuderi added a power-play insurance marker at 17:31 to give the Eagles the victory.
"The puck was just laying there and I took it to the left circle," said Kobasew. "[Maine's] defenseman was kind of screening the goalie and I just tried to throw it to the top of the net."
"I didn't see the shot at all," admitted Maine goaltender Matt Yeats, who finished the game with 23 saves. "[Kobasew] picked up the puck out near the blue line and I didn't see him take the shot, I just heard it. My natural instinct was to just drop and take as much net as I could and it just grazed my shoulder and went top-shelf."
Scuderi's goal came just after a 5-on-3 advantage had ended. Afterward, Maine head coach Shawn Walsh's protest was immediate, resulting in referee Steve Piotrowski assessing Walsh a bench minor. Further protest led to the longtime Black Bear coach's ejection.
"All I said was, 'Let the players decide the game,'" said Walsh, who admitted that he was embarrassed by the incident but called it inconsequential to the game's outcome. "I was extremely disappointed because that should not be a bench penalty.
"I know I've got a loud voice, but if you can't handle my voice, maybe this isn't the arena for you. He's a great official, though, or he wouldn't be here."
With an 8:30 start time, the Black Bears were playing just 18 and a half hours after finishing their first-round game against Minnesota. The Black Bears took the Gophers to overtime before winning, 5-4, to advance. A double-overtime opener on Friday started the night late for Maine.
"For a team that didn't get back to its hotel until two in the morning, it didn't matter. We refused to be tired and we did everything we could but score the second goal," said Walsh. "I thought we played a whale of a game and lost to just a great team that has been there all year."
Playing in the regionals for the fourth time, BC goaltender Scott Clemmensen (29 saves) extended his regional win streak to six games, allowing the senior class to become the first Eagles class to advance to the Frozen Four all four years. BC, though, hasn't won the national title since 1949.
BC clearly showed that its game in the first period was to be playing the body. With Maine fatigued from its 1 a.m. finish this morning, the Eagles wanted to wear down the Black Bears early. BC's Ales Dolinar and Bobby Allen set that tone early, delivering multiple bone-crushing hits.
That physical play, along with two Maine penalties, allowed the Eagles to control the flow of the game early. But Yeats stood tall, first on Brian Gionta at 2:27 and then again on Jeff Giuliano at 10:05.
Surviving the early penalties gave Maine a bit of spark and allowed the Bears to draw two penalties themselves. As the first resulting power play came to a close at 16:38, Maine's Martin Kariya broke 2-on-1 with Michael Schutte, one of Friday heroes after tying that game with 2.7 seconds remaining. Clemmensen, though, came out to challenge Schutte and made the save.
The second period gave the crowd plenty more to cheer about, but still goals couldn't be bought. The clubs traded golden chances around the five-minute mark, when Ben Eaves was stopped by a diving Yeats on a two-on-one at 5:05, before Clemmensen got a little help from the right post on a Doug Janik.
A minute later, at 6:53, Schutte continued to try his luck with Clemmensen, putting back-to-back grade-A chances on net, but Clemmensen stood tall on the first and stacked his pads to stop the second.
At 11:18, it was BC's chance as Eaves picked up the rebound of Bill Cass' shot on a 3-on-2 break. Eaves fired a blast that was headed for Yeats' five-hole, but the junior netminder closed it just in time.
Just when it seemed chances couldn't get better and saves couldn't be bigger, enter Todd Jackson for Maine and Clemmensen at 18:19. Set up perfectly in front, Jackson picked the top corner, but Clemmensen flashed just enough glove to deflect the shot into the seats.
A penalty to Maine's Dan Kerluke with 8.7 seconds to play in the second put BC on the power play to start the third, and finally the wall was broken. Giuliano banged home the rebound of Allen's shot from the right point 35 seconds into the third, giving BC a 1-0 lead and sending the sellout crowd of 11,977, many wearing Eagle maroon and gold, into hysterics.
Incredibly, Maine answered immediately, scoring on its next shot. Schutte, with what seemed like his one-millionth scoring chance in front of, showed great patience when he received a pass from Kariya. Moving the puck around Clemmensen, Schutte tied the game at 1:41.
Sixty-seven seconds after that, the Black Bears appeared to gain the lead when a rebound ended up in back of Clemmensen in the net. But referee Piotrowski waved the goal off immediately, saying the puck was directed by a high stick, something that video replay confirmed.
It was then Kobasew's time to shine. Entering the zone three-on-three, Kobasew took a drop pass from Krys Kolanos and then allowed Kolanos to set a perfect screen. Kobasew feathered a wrister that Yeats seemed not to see, beating him over the right shoulder.
Just over a minute later, Robert Liscak, who scored the overtime game-winner for Maine on Friday, nearly equaled the score again. But Clemmensen, moving right to left, came across with another glove save.
That seemed to take the legs out of the Black Bears, as back-to-back penalties gave Scuderi the chance for insurance. Taking a feed from all-tournament selection Allen, he one-timed it through the legs of Yeats for the 3-1 final.
"We feel very fortunate to be moving on to Albany," said Eagles coach Jerry York. "It was a solid checking game by both teams and we rode the play of Scott Clemmensen."

Surgeon General to public: Stop tanning
SAN DIEGO - Surgeon General Boris Lushniak issued a rare call to action Tuesday against tanning, calling the rise in skin cancer a major public health issue.
In his report, the Surgeon General said that almost five million people in the United States are treated for skin cancer every year, costing an estimated $8.1 billion. Nearly 9,000 people die each year in the U.S. from melanoma, the most deadly type of skin cancer. Melanoma is also the most common type of cancer for teens and young adults.
In an interview with the Washington Post Monday, Lushniak said melanoma cases have almost tripled in the last 30 years. He said the exact cause of the increase is unknown, but specifically called out tanning beds as contributing to the problem.
"According to research… we're looking at about 400,000 cases of skin cancer, about 6,000 of them melanomas, that are estimated to be related to indoor tanning in the United States each year," Lushniak told the Post. "So I have to look at this as being a major problem. We certainly know it's something that's become popular amongst youth. And much like the surgeon general comes out very vehemently against youth smoking, I am coming out quite vehemently against youth exposing their skin to ultraviolet radiation in tanning booths."
The report found that as many as 90 percent of melanomas are linked to UV radiation.
Along with avoiding tanning beds, the Surgeon General is advising people to wear sunscreen and protective clothes like sunglasses and hats when going into the sun. He's also calling on businesses to put up canopies and offer more shade.

Amazing Natural Ads Printed in Sand, Snow, and Grass
BY: Lea Stewart
Start Slideshow
- Curb MediaMore often than not, advertising campaigns are wasteful endeavors that leave our urban environment plastered with billboards and banners, but the UK startup Curb Media hits all the right notes with their innovative and sustainable ad installations. Curb Media is not a design agency -- instead the group specializes in the production of eco-friendly advertising mediums. Using completely natural materials, they have developed communication methods that will turn heads with an ultra-low carbon footprint. If you have never heard of terms like sea tagging, logrow, or rake ads, take a look after the jump to see some of these incredible installations.1
- Curb MediaRake Ads create imagery on beachfront sand. A team of 13 Curb Media creatives installed one of the largest Rake Ads for UKTV Gold's Satellite channel. It measured 206 ft by 113 ft, and took top beach art experts seven hours to complete.2
- Curb MediaIf you live in an urban area, you may have noticed a rise in sidewalk advertising in the past few years. Instead of using spray paint, Curb Media uses "Clean Advertising" to mark the pavement.3
- Curb MediaCurb has other low impact ways for marking the street, such as sea tagging. Using salt water, which evaporates slower than potable water, they can create temporary impressions. The resulting ads draw a crowd due to their innovative application and then disappear without a trace.4
- Curb MediaCurb Media's exerts can develop Field Advertisements, using natural materials like stone, chalk, sand and mud to create enormous adverts. Other forms of these oversized adverts include Crop Circles and Mow Ads, where plants or grass is cleared to create duo-tone images from a bird's-eye view.5
- Curb MediaSnow tagging uses stamps to leave impressions in freshly laid flakes.6

Guatemala: Weavers Find International Markets
In a poor village in a rural region of Guatemala, many women have woven traditional textiles for generations, earning little revenue for their efforts. Now, with the support of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), these local weavers have found ways to sustain their community and preserve their Mayan traditions by teaming up with industrial designers to create top-selling textiles for export.

|24.1 Introduction to Buffers
|A buffer holds a block of text such as a file.
|24.2 Buffer Lists
|Keeping track of all buffers.
|24.3 Markers and Extents
|Tagging locations within a buffer.
|24.4 The Buffer Object
|The Lisp object corresponding to a buffer.
|[ < ]

|[ ? ]
A buffer is logically just a Lisp object that holds some text. In this, it is like a string, but a buffer is optimized for frequent insertion and deletion, while a string is not. Furthermore:
current_buffer. Buffer operations operate
on this buffer by default. When you are typing text into a buffer, the
buffer you are typing into is always
current_buffer. Switching
to a different window changes the current buffer. Note that Lisp code
can temporarily change the current buffer using
set-buffer (often
enclosed in a
save-excursion so that the former current buffer
gets restored when the code is finished). However, calling
set-buffer will NOT cause a permanent change in the current
buffer. The reason for this is that the top-level event loop sets
current_buffer to the buffer of the selected window, each time
it finishes executing a user command.
Make sure you understand the distinction between current buffer and buffer of the selected window, and the distinction between point of the current buffer and window-point of the selected window. (This latter distinction is explained in detail in the section on windows.)
|[ < ]
|[ > ]
|[ << ]
|[ Up ]
|[ >> ]
|[ ? ]
Recall earlier that buffers are permanent objects, i.e. that
they remain around until explicitly deleted. This entails that there is
a list of all the buffers in existence. This list is actually an
assoc-list (mapping from the buffer's name to the buffer) and is stored
in the global variable
The order of the buffers in the list is important: the buffers are
ordered approximately from most-recently-used to least-recently-used.
Switching to a buffer using
pop-to-buffer, etc. and switching windows using
other-window, etc. usually brings the new current buffer to the
front of the list.
etc. look at the beginning of the list to find an alternative buffer to
suggest. You can also explicitly move a buffer to the end of the list
In addition to the global ordering in
Vbuffer_alist, each frame
has its own ordering of the list. These lists always contain the same
elements as in
Vbuffer_alist although possibly in a different
buffer-list normally returns the list for the selected
frame. This allows you to work in separate frames without things
interfering with each other.
The standard way to look up a buffer given a name is
get-buffer, and the standard way to create a new buffer is
get-buffer-create, which looks up a buffer with a given name,
creating a new one if necessary. These operations correspond exactly
with the symbol operations
intern-soft and
respectively. You can also force a new buffer to be created using
generate-new-buffer, which takes a name and (if necessary) makes
a unique name from this by appending a number, and then creates the
buffer. This is basically like the symbol operation
|[ < ]
|[ > ]
|[ << ]
|[ Up ]
|[ >> ]
|[ ? ]
Among the things associated with a buffer are things that are logically attached to certain buffer positions. This can be used to keep track of a buffer position when text is inserted and deleted, so that it remains at the same spot relative to the text around it; to assign properties to particular sections of text; etc. There are two such objects that are useful in this regard: they are markers and extents.
A marker is simply a flag placed at a particular buffer
position, which is moved around as text is inserted and deleted.
Markers are used for all sorts of purposes, such as the
mark that
is the other end of textual regions to be cut, copied, etc.
An extent is similar to two markers plus some associated properties, and is used to keep track of regions in a buffer as text is inserted and deleted, and to add properties (e.g. fonts) to particular regions of text. The external interface of extents is explained elsewhere.
The important thing here is that markers and extents simply contain buffer positions in them as integers, and every time text is inserted or deleted, these positions must be updated. In order to minimize the amount of shuffling that needs to be done, the positions in markers and extents (there's one per marker, two per extent) are stored in Membpos's. This means that they only need to be moved when the text is physically moved in memory; since the gap structure tries to minimize this, it also minimizes the number of marker and extent indices that need to be adjusted. Look in `insdel.c' for the details of how this works.
One other important distinction is that markers are temporary while extents are permanent. This means that markers disappear as soon as there are no more pointers to them, and correspondingly, there is no way to determine what markers are in a buffer if you are just given the buffer. Extents remain in a buffer until they are detached (which could happen as a result of text being deleted) or the buffer is deleted, and primitives do exist to enumerate the extents in a buffer.

|[ > ]
|[ << ]

|[ ? ]
Buffers contain fields not directly accessible by the Lisp programmer. We describe them here, naming them by the names used in the C code. Many are accessible indirectly in Lisp programs via Lisp primitives.
window-start position in the buffer as of
the last time the buffer was displayed in a window.
nil if it
doesn't have one. See section `Display Tables' in XEmacs Lisp Reference Manual.
markers. See section `The Mark' in XEmacs Lisp Reference Manual.
nil if the buffer's mark is active.

Job Search: Make Professional Etiquette a Habit

I am finding often, and not just with recent graduates, that follow up, and phone and email etiquette is sorely lacking with many professionals today.

With two months nearly gone in the missing person case of 20-year-old Heather Elvis, the investigation appears to be ramping up. Fox News reported Feb. 7 that a task force of more than 15 local, state and federal investigators are currently working in an effort to solve the mystery of young woman's disappearance.
To date, there have been 15 search warrants issued and several polygraph tests have been administered. However, authorities have yet to name a suspect.
Horry County Police Chief Saundra Rhodes said Thursday, according to MyHorryNews.com, that the investigation remains "very active." Still, police lack probable cause to make an arrest, she said.
Rhodes revealed during a press conference that a 15-person task force was assigned to the Heather Elvis investigation. The task force consists of two Myrtle Beach police detectives, two Horry County sheriff's office deputies, a solicitor's office investigator, a State Law Enforcement Division profiler, and individual investigators from the U.S. Marshall's Office and the FBI.
Without getting into specifics, Rhodes told reporters that some search warrants were issued for Elvis' social media accounts, where they were able to gain access to the young woman's personal messages. Search warrants to search private residences and properties have also been issued. Again, Rhodes refused to give details.
It was noted that police haven't totally ruled out the possibility that Heather Elvis was a runaway, although given what was known about her and her circumstances (a hostess at a local restaurant, close family ties, and a licensed cosmetologist), that scenario is considered unlikely.
They do believe that she drove herself down to Peachtree Landing in Socastee, a few miles from her apartment where she was dropped off after a dinner date around 2 a.m. It was there that an Horry County officer found her abandoned vehicle. Terry Elvis, her father, identified the car Dec. 19 and he immediately filed a missing person report.
Police discovered that after being dropped off at her apartment, Heather Elvis had spoken to her roommate (who was out of town) by phone. According to a police report, the roommate said she had seemed upset. However, the date, an old high school acquaintance named Steve Shiraldi, said she'd been in a good mood when he left her.
By searching her phone records, police were able to ascertain that Elvis had been in contact with 38-year-old Sidney Moorer, a 38-year-old Horry County man with whom police records indicate she had a relationship history. Moorer at first denied having spoken with Elvis since October but would later tell authorities that he had called her to tell her to stop trying to contact him.
Shiraldi has been ruled out as a possible suspect in the case, police confirmed.
A $30,000 reward has been offered for information regarding Heather Elvis' whereabouts or details regarding what might have happened to the young woman.

When DH and I had our 5y/o son DH wanted it done because he is, but at some point changed his mind. So we din't have him done either. Again, it's never been an issue. If this baby is a boy he won't be either.
I'm a SAHM answering surveys to make some extra money to support my CD addiction. :)
DS 17, DD 14, SDD 14, DS 6 and baby girl!
Also, there are also recent studies that show that there are medical benefits to circ'ing. Most of the time you can find studies to back whatever your opinion is on any subject...
I can't believe some of the language used just to get your view across...Wow.
We will be circ'ing. My younger brother was adopted from a foreign country and I remember we had trouble with it..and the Dr. suggested we have it done. It was painful for him just at the age of 3. The way I look at it...one has possible infections and also I don't want to have to worry about when he's older and in a nursing home if someone will take care of it for him. It just seems like one is easier than the other. That being said I could care less if you don't circ. It's all personal opinion.

RE: Not a fan of WYSIWYG. The WYG part is usally bloated. I edit my pages in a text editor.
Dreamweaver isn't WYSIWYG, I don't believe any html editor can be due to the nature of the medium. Dreamweaver will create bloated code if you don't know how to code HTML and CSS. Dreamweaver allows a decent coder to be more efficient, and more productive.
I think there will always be die hard coders against Dreamweaver, I say give it a go for a month, see if it can speed your daily tasks up.

By now you have probably heard of Microsoft Sharepoint, a high-effectively document management program that is available to all UNH faculty and staff. When asked: Do you use Sharepoint? And if not, why? For those unfamiliar with Sharepoint, the answer has been they are not aware of its functionality, don't know how to use it, or both. To remedy this, UNH IT is offering training classes through May 2012 to demonstrate how you can use Sharepoint in your office.
Sharepoint streamlines collaboration and communication, and allows departments to create, edit, share, approve, track, and centrally-manage documents, all with an easy-to-use web-based interface that is available from anywhere with an Internet connection. Gone are the days of emailing documents, waiting for others to close a document before you can work on it, or searching through endless folders on file shares trying to locate a document. With Sharepoint, you can enjoy an environment that is well-organized, easily accessible, and ultra-secure, and completely searchable.
Many departments are already using Sharepoint. It is currently the central document management system being used for UNH's decennial accreditation process with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
Sharepoint training is available on Friday, May 19 from 9-11a.m. at the IT training center, located at One Leavitt Lane. To register, visit ittraining.unh.edu, login with your UNH username and password, and click on 'sessions.'
For questions, contact the IT service desk at 2-4242 or submit a question online.

Ramon Espinosa, Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela — All day, the political heirs of Hugo Chavez filled Venezuela's airways with a steady drumbeat of attacks on the man who says they stole the presidency from him. They called opposition leader Henrique Capriles a coup-plotter and said he was inciting post-election violence that had claimed seven lives and injured 61.
President-elect Nicolas Maduro further charged Tuesday that the violence was being bankrolled and directed by the United States, which said it wouldn't recognize his victory without a vote-by-vote recount demanded by Capriles.
It was not clear, however, whether the violence was as serious as Chavez's anointed successor claimed. Venezuela has an average of more than 40 homicides daily, one of the highest rates in the world, and the government offered almost no information on the deaths that Maduro blamed on "neo-Nazi gangs."
Capriles called the government assault a smoke screen to divert attention from his demand for a recount of every ballot from Sunday's election, which the National Electoral Council said Maduro won by 262,000 votes out of 14.9 million cast.
A number of opposition protests across Venezuela have turned violent, but apparently only after National Guard riot troops and police used tear gas and plastic pellets to turn back marchers converging on provincial offices of the electoral council.
While government officials complained of violence by Capriles' supporters, incidents of intimidation by gangs of pro-government forces, some armed, also occurred.
An Associated Press journalist witnessed a pro-government gang of motorcycle toughs rampage through Teques, seat of the state that Capriles governs. They tossed a firebomb into an opposition party office and smashed display cases and looted goods from a bakery they said was owned by a Capriles supporter.
In the western town of San Francisco in Zulia state, three journalists with the local newspaper La Verdad said they were arrested by motorcycle-borne National Guard troops and jailed overnight Monday because they had interviewed a family that the troops had harassed. Reporter Juan Jose Faria wrote that the troop's commander told the reporters the country was in the midst of a coup and that they were putschists.
Maduro accused opposition protesters of attacking government health clinics, a socialist party office and the house of electoral council President Tibisay Lucena on Monday, but the government provided no details. Like Chavez, Maduro has a history of making allegations he does not substantiate.
Meanwhile, Maduro's government announced that 15 countries had confirmed they were sending high-level delegations to Maduro's swearing-in on Friday. They included Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Haiti, Uruguay and Argentina.
The potential for violent street confrontations in the capital Wednesday seemed to be headed off when Capriles called off a planned march to electoral council headquarters. That decision came after Maduro urged his supporters to take to Caracas' streets at the same time.
"Whoever goes out into the street tomorrow is playing the government's game," Capriles said at a news conference. "The government wants there to be deaths in the country."
The president-elect spent Tuesday on state TV at various events demonizing Capriles as "a murderer" and coup plotter. And he heaped accusations on Washington — always a popular target of Chavez, for whom Maduro served as foreign minister for six years.
"The (U.S.) embassy has financed and led all these violent acts," Maduro said during an appearance at the state-owned oil company PDVSA, which accounts for more than 95 percent of Venezuela's exports.
The countries have been without ambassadors since 2010 and the latest U.S. charges d'affaires, James Derham, left the country Monday.

Josh Johnson is a now fireballer
Holy smoke, literally.
That was not the Josh Johnson I remember from 2006. Before Tommy John surgery Johnson's fastball sat in the 90-91 range and occassionally touched 93. I charted each of Johnson's 87 pitches in his first start back Thursday against the Dodgers. Check out these numbers:
60 fastballs at 93-plus
48 fastballs at 94-plus
25 fastballs at 95-plus
10 at 96; one at 97
Are you kidding me? From whom did orthopedic surgeon James Andrews extract Johnson's new ligament? Lee Majors, circa 1977?
Even Johnson's slider was in the 87-88 mph range. Johnson did not throw a pitch at less than 87 mph. His tempo was outstanding, maybe even a bit too fast.
Still not sure how the Dodgers managed to score three runs during his five-inning outing. All came on two-out singles in the third.
The velocity is off the chart, but Johnson's command is a tick or two off. He threw 64.4 percent of his total pitches for strikes, but he didn't get that slider over as consistently as he probably would have liked.
All in all, an impressive and encouraging return.

Bill Maher wrote an editorial in todays L.A. Times (which I couldn't find anywhere on their website). It is entitled "We love a good wiretapping."
Here's the paragraph that caught my attention:
"This whole country is one big desperate cry for somebody to listen to me, photograph me, Google me. Read my blog. Read my memoir. It's not interesting enough? I'll make stuff up. Just somebody, please, notice me."
But what if I make things up and they're still not interesting?
While you're not reading the LA Times you might want to go to EatPES - Home of the Twisted Films of PES There are some cool short videos that ARE interesting. I'd recommend KaBoom and especially Roof Sex. Also some Short Short videos; watch Fireworks (25 seconds long) to get the idea.

You can often tell just how much someone loves Napa wine from their familiarity with the sub-appellations or American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) that divide the larger Napa Valley into select, smaller sections. Many consumers have heard of the Stag's Leap District, and possible Rutherford or Oakville, but there are more than ten other AVAs in the Napa Valley.
AVAs are not enough for some people, however, especially those that pursue the most expensive and difficult to acquire wines of Napa. Discussions of the finer points of these wines rarely begin with appellations or AVAs. Instead they invoke individual vineyards and select growing areas -- small patches of vines that have become legendary over the past few decades. Names like Martha's Vineyard, Chabot, and To Kalon are familiar currency in such discussions.
One of the places that will inevitably enter the conversation when discussing the upper echelon of Napa Valley wines is a small area known as Pritchard Hill. Neither one single vineyard, nor its own AVA, this small area on the eastern edge of the Napa Valley that looks down on the town of St. Helena on one side, and Lake Hennessey on the other, nonetheless has an identity all its own in the lore of Napa wine.
Though it is home to many long-standing wineries and vineyards, the area has achieved renown as the home of some of Napa's priciest wines, most prominently Colgin and Bryant Family Vineyards. Luckily for those of us who could never afford such bottlings (even if we ever did make it onto their mailing lists after 10 years of waiting) there are a number of other wineries who make excellent wine in the area.
Girard is one such winery. Girard's history as a wine label dates back 32 years, to the beginnings of what we might call the modern era of Napa winemaking, but in more recent times it established 18 acres of estate vineyards on Pritchard Hill and set about making excellent wines at great prices from legendary terroir.
Girard's modern incarnation is the work of owner Pat Roney, a Palo Alto, California native, who had a long history in the food and wine business before trying his hand at being a winery owner. Roney got his start in business as a sommelier while in college, and went on to hold a number of prominent positions in the wine and food world, including president of Chateau St. Jean, president of Kunde Winery, and eventually CEO of Dean and Deluca, which happened to purchase the Girard winery brand in 1995.
Apparently it didn't take much convincing for Leslie Rudd, the owner of Dean and Deluca, to let Roney purchase the brand in 2000 and revitalize it as a fairly priced purveyor of high quality Napa wine. To assist him in this effort, Roney enlisted the young Marco DiGiulio, the U.C. Davis-trained former winemaker at Robert Pepi who had recently taken over winemaking for a single year at Lokoya and managed to turn out a blockbuster wine that essentially cemented his reputation as a top winemaker.
The two set about finding long-term vineyard contracts strategically placed around the valley to take advantage of the diverse microclimates of Napa. The resulting 40 acres of vineyards, including the 18 acres on Pritchard Hill are carefully tended and blended to make Girard's portfolio of wines that range from a Russian River Valley Chardonnay, to a Zinfandel, to more traditional Bordeaux blends and varietals.
This particular wine is a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, 9% Malbec, and 5% Petite Verdot. The grapes are hand harvested from 12 select vineyard sites around Napa Valley, and then rigorously sorted and barely crushed before fermenting using native yeasts. After primary fermentation, the wine is lightly pressed into French oak barrels where it spends 24 months aging, and undergoing a slow secondary (malolactic) fermentation. It is bottled completely unfined and unfiltered. 4,827 cases were made.
Full disclosure: I received this wine as a press sample.
Tasting Notes:
Dark ruby in the glass, this wine has a beautiful nose that nicely melds aromas of mud, espresso, and graphite with higher toned floral notes that resemble nasturtium. In the mouth it is full and round with decent balance and rich flavors of cherry, tobacco and sweet oak. Very light tannins support a moderate, but perhaps less than desirable, depth and complexity to the texture and flavors that linger pleasingly through a moderate finish. An excellent effort for a tough vintage.
Food Pairing:
I'd love to drink this wine with something earthy, like this wild mushroom tart.
Overall Score: 9

Disease Proof
Excuses are Irrelevant
Eating for health is a mindset. We make firm choices based upon correct information that's been proven to restore health to the body.
However, if food choices are determined by our circumstances or fluctuating emotions, we will suffer the consequences of decisions that will never lead to optimal health.
When I first started the journey to get my health back, I was obese, unfit and didn't feel well. It was an effort just to get out of bed in the mornings, let alone enthusiastically eat for health. I knew that if I was ever going to succeed, I had to have something simple and concrete to follow.
After thoroughly studying Eat to Live, using a small font, I typed out the six week eating plan on page 179. I then printed off three copies, and laminated them at an office supply store. I kept one in my purse, one next to my bed, and one under a magnet on the refrigerator. The plan made all of my decisions. Period.
- Those first couple of weeks I didn't feel like eating romaine lettuce, collard greens or brussel sprouts. I followed the plan.
- I was heavily addicted to salt, creamy cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, and crunchy peanut butter. I followed the plan.
- I craved diet cola and diet pudding. I followed the plan.
- I was addicted to creamy ranch dressing. I followed the plan.
- My bedtime snack was always a large bowl of cereal and milk. I followed the plan.
- My son became seriously ill. I followed the plan.
- Life suddenly became an out-of-control roller coaster. I followed the plan.
- He had to be transferred to another hospital in another state. I followed the plan.
- I had to find my way around in a new city. I followed the plan.
- I hit rock bottom with sadness and fear of the future. I followed the plan.
- The hospital cafeteria food looked comforting and inviting. I followed the plan.
- The candy in the gift shop called out my name. I followed the plan.
Three months later, back home, I got on the scales. Even though the picture on the left shows the strain of crisis on my face, I was forty pounds lighter; and more importantly, I was no longer addicted to toxic foods. I now craved fresh greens and fruits. Diet soda, diet desserts and salty foods tasted disgusting to me. I could walk for ½ hour every morning and evening, and feel great. My body was thoroughly refreshed after a good night's sleep, and brain fog had completely disappeared.
The crisis eventually subsided. My body was well-nourished. I had newfound energy to try recipes. I had a bounce in my step to attempt challenging exercises. I knew I was well on the way to getting my health back. I was free.
"Success or lack thereof is not based upon circumstances; therefore, excuses are irrelevant." Emily Boller
Thanks, Emily! So true and so timely! Even though I've still been losing, it has been SMALL amounts. The other day, I finally started facing why I've become more complacent. Yesterday I got back on the STRICTER bandwagon!
What's been going on w/me is, I think, having to acknowledge a loss of "myself". Even though I'm just shy of an 89-lb weight loss and feel better than I have in years; it's still saying good-bye to the "me" I've lived with for so long.
Well...as you so appropriately put it...
(Sidenote: one of the women in the cafeteria at St Joe wants me to bring her some of my blueberry smoothie tomorrow...She is so encouraging and tickled for me!)
(Sidenote #2: I'm wearing a size 18 pants...probably been at least 25 years!!!!!!!!!)
Thanks for another great "word"!
Thank you, Emily! This could not have come at a better time. Sorry to hear about your son. Congratulations on your success -- especially in the face of such stressful circumstances.
I need to just make a plan and stick to it -- and I really needed to hear that the cravings would eventually lessen or go away. I also need to just throw away the remaining tempting food in my house. Unfortunately, we had a birthday party here on the day before I started my *plan*, so the dips and chips and ice cream have been staring at me since. Now I know what I need to do -- so thank you again.
Thank you for sharing your story Emily. Right on!
The laminated cards are a great idea! I've read the book, and the challenges I have with this plan are a) it's 100% very low fat vegan, and b) navigating social eating situations, which are everywhere in our culture. Have to admit though, you look great. I hope your son is OK.
What a fabulous inspiration you are! I have done very well on Eat to Live, but I have had some backsliding and then get back on track. You have inspired me to "follow the plan." If you can do it with all you've been through, I know I can! Thank you!
Emily, thanks for the timely reminder. I've been very frustrated lately but you're right - follow the plan!!
You are an inspiration!
When in a social situation where everyone is eating for disease, follow the plan. Eating for disease is the ABNORMAL way of eating! Our bodies were designed to thrive on high nutrient foods; not the other way around. Smile.
Freedom to all,
(PS My son is doing relatively well now. It's an ongoing, daily challenge, but life never promises to be easy. I am grateful that I started the journey to health beforehand; otherwise, I would have gained another 40 lbs or more through the additional stress, and who knows what condition my own health would be in today!)
Emily, you still are an amazing person to me and I love your inspirational writings.
What a wonderful, inspirational post, Emily. Thank you!
Emily, I am so amazed every time I see your before and
after ETL picture. I needed to hear from you today.
I've been compromising and know that that will keep me
straddling the fence. It's a dangerous place to be. Why are
we so afraid to let go of our old ways, especially when we
KNOW what is best for us? You are correct--there is NO excuse.
The conversion would be much easier if it were only myself, and not eight other persons. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on how to "convert" all ages of kids to a nutrient dense diet w/out turning them off?
I am so frustrated. Every night I tell myself that I will do better the next day and I don't. I end up stopping in the morning and starting my day with a Pepsi. The next thing I know, I am eating a donut that a coworker brought in. Then, lunch comes and off to Taco Bell I go for another Pepsi and other food. I know that this is toxic food, that it is not nourshing for my body, yet I do eat time and time again. I have read ETL, EFH, The China Study, Quantum Wellness, Skinny B_itch etc...but I just haven't been able to stick to it. I may last for three weeks, but that is about it. I have been trying to get back on track and everday is another disappointment when I find myself indulging in sugar, fat and salt. I am so very frustrated with all of this, I just can't seem to make it work. I know that this is not good for my body, yet I continue with the same horrible habits and buy larger clothes.
Wonderful post!
I have to say, something inside you was/is so strong to
follow the plan under such extreme stress.
I would love a post about where/what was the thought/mindset
"Aha!" moment. If you have posted this in the past, please share it. Thanks.
Emily, the typed up laminated copies of the six week plan is brilliant! You wouldn't still have that file that you could send to me to save me from having to retype it would you? My son is 4 months old and after being a nutritarian for most of the pregancy, I have to admit I have fallen off the wagon. But I KNOW it's time to get back on. Thanks for your inspiration!
It's all about making healthy eating the most important part of your day. If you've eaten well, you've had a good day.
There are two kinds of food in this world: disease-promoting foods, and health promoting foods.
Most people today continue to eat the disease-promoting foods, probably unaware that many will die from their unhealthy choices, in some not-so-pretty ways. Some will live, but live with disability. All of these are the people you see at parties and restaurants, eating "anything they want".
Choose health!!
Lisa Fuhrman wrote a great post for Disease Proof (October 1, 2009) titled, "Don't Make Food a War Zone." It may be helpful to you. http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/healthy-parenting-dont-make-food-a-war-zone.html
You mentioned that you have "read" all of the above books, but do you have a specific plan that you are committed to following? Make a plan. Stick to it, no matter what. No excuses. Decide in your mind that no cirumstance or emotion will deter you from the plan.
From what you wrote above, you are severely addicted and need to make getting free a top prioritiy in your life right now ~ above everything else. Addiction is a progressive, downward spiral, and will only get worse with each day of ongoing compromise.
Are you a member of the member center of DrFuhrman.com? I highly recommend the ongoing, personal support of Dr. Fuhrman and other members. Make getting free a top priority in your life before it's too late.
Between the documentation of my transformation journey on my web site (www.emilyboller.com "transformation") and the thread titled, "journey of transformation" on the member center of drfuhrman.com you can read plenty of my "motivations." Smile. I also have a son with type I diabetes, and living day-in-and-day-out with that disease is highly motivating to NEVER get type 2 diabetes! Ever. Diabetes is a nasty disease. Understatement.
Freedom to all ~
Thanks Emily, I have tried ETL plan, but just couldn't do it. I really enjoy and miss eating horrible foods when I try to eat clean. I know they are not good for me, but for some reason, I am not able to beat my bad eating habits. I really admire you for having the ability to take charge and continue to live well. So, I continue to be frustrated at my ability to stick with it. Thanks so much for all your beautiful posts.
It's time for you visit to a local kidney dialysis center, and visually see what is in involved in the kidney dialysis process. I'm serious. (Eating for disease will eventually lead to the development of type 2 diabetes, which will eventually lead to complications such as kidney failure that will require possible dialysis.) I don't know you personally, but I care for you; I care for everyone in your same situation.
Make the changes while you have the opportunity to prevent further damage to your organs. Make it a top priority in your life. Put everything else on hold so that you can completely focus on getting your health back. Tell your family and friends how seriously your health will be affected if you don't change, and solicit their help and support.
Cheering for you. Cheering for everyone to freedom!
Thank you Emily, you are always an inspiration. This weekend I am going to take a serious inventory of myself and try to get myself together to be able to do this. Funny thing is that in all other facets of my life (family, career, etc...) I do fantastic and over achieve. My health and making good food choices is the one thing that I have not been able to be successful at! It truly is so frustrating, I am not sure what the road block is. Thank you again, appreciate all your very kind words and concern.
Thanks for the inspiration. I've been struggling with being on/off the program. You're right. I am no longer going to let circumstances or stress dictate my eating habits.
Dear ald,
Good on you for not giving up and deciding to trying again. I have found myself using the same rationalisations as you - I just can't do it, it's too hard, I love the bad food etc etc. And berating myself for being successful in all other areas of my life except for looking after myself! Crazy isn't it? It IS hard to stick to the plan when your body and mind thinks it wants the bad food you've been giving it, but, you can do it for just one day at a time, even just one meal at a time, and the cravings WILL go away. Be kind to yourself and get back on the plan if you slip up, just keep going! I've found another essential thing is to be super organised. If you plan ahead what you will eat, always carry healthy snacks with you to help you avoid making poor choices while out, that can help. Don't forget, you are strong, and you can change your life for the better. Even if you can make a commitment for just one week - you will feel amazing, your cravings will dramatically lessen, and you will want to continue - good luck and take care :)
Emily - thank you for your continuing inspiration and support. Your words are often just what I need to help me keep going
Thanks for sharing such an inspiring story! I think we have all made excuses and it's really true that if you just stick to your guns you start craving health food!! Congrats, you look amazing......
Thank you so much Natalie for taking the time to respond to my comment. I think you are right, I need to take this one meal at a time. That's what I will do, just try to get through one meal and look at that as a success. I get so very frustrated with the fact that I know what I need to do, I just don't do it!!! I sabatoge my own self! Thanks again Natalie for your encouraging words.
thanks for this post Emily, I enjoy your blog posts on here and needed to read this today.
Thank you, Emily for sharing your story. I really need to hear, ...."I followed the plan"....I have an excuse for just about everything to avoid eating right. I appreciate your fortitude! Best wishes to you in continued Eating Right.
Suite 408

When do mobile device users click on in-app ads?
Oct 23,2013 by Francis Bea
Whatever way we're spending time on mobile devices, one trend from 2013 is clear. Mobile is slowly eating away at our consumption of other forms of media. eMarketer predicts that this year, we'll be spending more time on mobile (141 minutes) than any other form of media including PC, radio, and print, with the exception of television (for now). In fact, 79% of smartphone owners have their devices on their person for 22 of 24 hours in a day according to the IDC. This level of connectedness to our devices translates to a $12 billion opportunity cost for advertisers to capture the attention of mobile device owners.
However what do we really know about when people are actually engaging with their mobile devices? To answer this question, we dug through 300 million mobile ad impressions from the United States between August and September to answer the question of not only when, but also gain insight into "why" people were clicking on mobile ads when they do.
What hours are people most active?
If we take a look at the data below, you'll notice that click activity parallels the restful and wakeful active hours within a person's day. The volume of clicks on ads peaks at 6PM, suggesting that mobile device owners are the most active at this hour. For many of us the start of the evening is when we're getting off of work and on our way home, whether by public or private transportation, and our commutes tend to double as a brief respite that we'll spend gaming or reading the news on our devices.
Hourly click behavior
By looking at the same data set and analyzing the growth rate of clicks hour-by-hour as we've done with the chart below, we can identify a different set of insights that gives us a look into click behavior at specific hours during the day.
There's a high drop off rate that starts after 6PM and lasts until 11PM, when click volume plummets a total of 62.7% within a span of five hours. However, between 11PM and 12AM, there's a sudden 11.4% jump in clicks. We suspect that with as many as 54% of smartphone owners admitting that they check their phones while in bed, these users might be getting in their last hour of mobile leisure (and the discovery of new apps and brands) before dozing off between 12AM and 1AM. Then as the night wears on, it's only an hour or two later that by 2AM we see the lowest volume of clicks in a day.
Weekday vs. weekend click trends
As much insight as we can derive from looking at average click volume and rates during the week, we broke down clicks by the days of the week and uncovered marked differences in click patterns between weekends and weekdays.
Comparing the weekday and weekend data sets separately, we can observe a more accurate analysis of mobile ad click behavior. Note the similarity between Saturday and Sunday weekend click patterns; and notice the similarities in the click patterns for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Weekday clicks closely resemble the average click trend that we observed in the first graph of average clicks by hour; during the weekday the lowest volume of clicks occur between 1AM and 2AM, while the most clicks occur starting at 6PM. Weekends on the other hand tell a different story.
With the weekends reserved for resting or relaxing, we're able to see that people will spend more time on their mobile devices during Saturdays and Sundays; we can observe this trend in the data. A Saturday or Sunday on average will get 1.3x more clicks than any one weekday thanks to a longer period of high click activity that lasts between 8AM and 6PM. The largest volume of clicks during a 24 hour period occurs at 11AM. The lowest volume of clicks occurs between 2AM and 3AM.
What days have the highest and lowest CTRs?
Now that we have a pretty good idea about when advertisers and publishers can expect people to be clicking on ads during the week and hour-by-hour, the question that advertisers might want answered is "when do clicks convert most frequently?"
We looked at CTRs on a day-by-day basis, and discovered that Wednesdays on average saw the lowest click-through rate with a 5.87% CTR. The highest CTRs on the other hand occurred on a Friday and Saturday both with a 7.17% CTR. Sundays followed with the second highest CTR at 6.65%.
Click behavior parallels daily routines
Based on AppFlood's click data, we can get an accurate and in-depth answer to the question of "when" or what hours and days mobile device owners tend to click on ads. Not surprisingly, the click behavior that we see here reflects hours of rest, work, and play. So if you ever ask yourself, "When do people click on or engage with ads" reflect on your usual daily or hourly routines, and there's a good chance that you'll find your answer.

Channel 4 and the Welsh Government have agreed a 12-month funding partnership to bolster Channel 4's Alpha Fund, specifically supporting the development of creative output from Welsh based producers and suppliers.
Both Channel 4 and the Welsh Government have each pledged a £100k investment to the Alpha Fund, which supports creative ideas from new starts-ups, new creative talent, new companies and grass roots innovation, in this case specifically in Wales.
Welcoming the strategic partnership with Channel 4, Welsh Government Business Minister Edwina Hart said: "The commercial media environment is extremely competitive which is why I welcome this partnership with Channel 4 which will provide a great opportunity to support the creative industry sector in Wales and encourage and promote Welsh creative talent.
"The funding agreement will bolster the amount of support available to Welsh creative companies applying to the Alpha Fund with the overarching aim of directly increasing the number of Channel 4 commissions secured by Welsh independent production companies and digital agencies."
Stuart Cosgrove, director of Creative Diversity at Channel 4, heads up a team of media project managers in creative communities across the UK. Media project manager Ian Mackenzie heads up talent spotting and development in Wales and leads on commissioning content and ideas through the Alpha Fund. In 2012 to date, he has commissioned 10 creative projects via the Alpha Fund in Wales, three of which have gone to full commission with Channel 4.
"This initiative reflects our belief that new and existing talent is emerging in Wales that we wish to work with on a regular basis," says Cosgrove.
Channel 4 also announced today its latest commission to come via The Alpha Fund, Tattooed Britain (w/t) from Welsh producer Rondo Media. This one-hour film explores the world of tattoos - the artists, the reasons why people have them and what happens when they regret them. The executive producer is Tom Ware and the director is Yonni Usiskin.
Other recent Welsh projects commissioned through the Alpha Fund include Plant Detectives (w/t), a new six x 30min series produced by Cwmni Da based in North Wales. The executive producer is Neville Hughes and the series producer is Arwyn Evans.
The series, commissioned by Jill Fullerton-Smith, aims to discover how plants can offer understanding of Britain's changing landscape and other forms of wildlife. It is presented by Royal Horticultural Society gold medallist and landscape gardener Chris Myers and his labrador, Lottie, together with botanists Dr Trevor Dines and lichenologist Sally Eaton.
Welsh indie Boom Pictures produced 40 episodes of weekly magazine show That Paralympic Show (pictured), which was broadcast in the build-up to the London 2012 Paralympic Games. The shows were fronted by Channel 4 Paralympics anchors Ade Adepitan and Rick Edwards. Boomerang also produced the seven primetime episodes of Jon Snow's Paralympic Show fronted by the Channel 4 News anchor, setting the scene for the beginning of Channel 4's coverage.

The New Mexico Senate approved the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act (SB 238) on Wednesday, February 7, 34 to 7. If the bill becomes law, it will allow qualified patients suffering from certain illnesses, such as cancer, HIV/AIDS and epilepsy, to use medical cannabis for relief of their symptoms.
With momentum from yesterday's Senate vote and a recent statement by New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson supporting the bill, SB 238 now moves to the House. The first committee hearing there could take place early next week.
"We are grateful for the strong leadership shown by the Senate," said Reena Szczepanski, director of the Drug Policy Alliance New Mexico. "We're hopeful that the members of the House will show the same compassion."
The New Mexico House has been the sticking point for medical marijuana in past years, with the 2005 and 2006 legislative sessions ending without a House floor vote.
Erin Armstrong, a medical marijuana advocate who suffers from advanced thyroid cancer, expressed hope that the governor's support will help the bill move through the House. "I am thrilled that Gov. Richardson continues to show compassion for seriously ill New Mexicans," she said. "I hope the Legislature also recognizes that many New Mexicans can't wait any longer for relief."
Armstrong, one of the two people for whom the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act is named, has worked tirelessly with DPA New Mexico to advance medical marijuana legislation. DPA New Mexico has made passage of medical marijuana legislation a top priority in 2007, engaging in a collective effort with supporters across New Mexico as well as DPA board members.

Purist fans of John Green's hugely popular Young Adult novel should be satisfied with the film adaptation of "The Fault in Our Stars;" director Josh Boone respects the original material's charm, wit, courage, and, above all, sincerity. This is not a Lifetime cancer movie full of melodrama and phony inspiration but rather a tragic though real love story.
Faced with the pessimism and depression of slowly dying of cancer, Hazel (Shailene Woodley) is encouraged by both her doctor and her mother (Laura Dern) to attend a cancer support group at a nearby church. Hazel's routine, closed off life is changed when she meets Isaac (Nat Wolff) and his attractive friend in remission, Augustus (Ansel Elgort). Aware of her always nearing death, Hazel shuts most people out of her life in an attempt to limit the pain felt at her death, but Gus refuses to be left out and pursues her. They share their interests with each other, including Hazel's love for a thoughtful novel about a girl with cancer. Together, the couple seeks out more information from the author (Willem Dafoe), but Hazel's health is a constant challenge.
Almost exactly like the book, "The Fault in Our Stars" has a few necessary cuts to contain the length of the film but maintains the heart of the story's characters. Most significantly, the casting embodies the characters with pure candor and sweet emotion. One hopes for future successes for Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, as they portray such personable, witty, and adorable teens with wisdom beyond their years. Neither Willem Dafoe nor Laura Dern is whom I expected after reading the book (I imagined more of Jared Harris or Werner Herzog and Margo Martindale, respectively), but they remarkably pull off their characters.
Kids might enjoy Shailene Woodley from films such as "Divergent" or her earlier portrayal in the American Girl classic "Felicity," however, you will probably want to have a conversation with preteens and younger before taking them to "The Fault in Our Stars." Despite its humorous perspective, "TFiOS" is a very serious movie that deals with real life hardships. Hazel carries the oxygen tank around with her wherever she goes and reminds the audience of her daily struggle to even breathe. It's a powerful film that is an honest portrayal of both cancer and teenage life; loss of virginity and looming death are both heavy weights on these characters.
In conclusion, pack tissues.
Rating for "The Fault in Our Stars:" A+ I really cannot offer any criticism of this film.

"The Fault in Our Stars" is playing all across Columbus, including at Gateway and Arena Grand. For showtimes, click here.

DARFIELD videographer and filmmaker Giannis Kipreos is capturing this year's LIVE in Barnsley action in a 'fly on the wall' documentary.
Giannis, 25, of Nanny Marr Road, will film the free festival which takes place across 13 venues in town on June 21.
He has already got music documentaries, and music and news videos under his belt and worked with Tramlines music festival in Sheffield last year.
Mail Online used one of his videos about Sheffield Ski Village and when Foulstone School in Darfield was demolished, Giannis's film was used on local newspaper and news websites.
He said: " The LIVE in Barnsley documentary is a fly on the wall look into what goes on behind the scenes of arranging a music festival. They have given me total access so expect interviews with organisers, band members and a few special guests."
Giannis also works with dance schools around Yorkshire. He filmed shows, festivals and competitions, then created DVDs and distributed them to the dance schools involved.
He has always been a fan of films and documentaries and has had an interest in media since he was very young.
Giannis's ambition is to make a living out of his own video business and create a documentary or film that is aired on TV or cinema.
