Plush, opulent and delicious, the 1998 Chateau des Annereaux has been dubbed "the most elegant wine of the year," by several members of the tasting panel and "the quintessential dinner party wine" by others. Supple, fruity and easy to drink, it would be easy to dismiss this wine as a lovely, round claret for early consumption. However, as a result of centuries of cultivation at the same site, the presence of natural wild yeasts on the grapes add elegance as well as complexity to des Annereaux. Nuances of spice, leather, and chocolate combine with lush fruit and silky tannins to provide depth and layers of flavor in the wine. Ample airing and further bottle age enhance the wine's long, lingering finish. A votre sante!
An elegant dinner party provides the ultimate setting for the 1998 Chateau des Annereaux. Roast chicken, quail or squab would be perfect pairings with this delicious Bordeaux as would more traditional fare, like a crown roast of pork, beef tenderloin or loin lamb chops. But then again, this Chateau des Annereaux needs very little to show it off. A plate of ripe, soft cheeses (check out http://www.cheesemonthclub.com/ for exquisite suggestions), will also do this fine Bordeaux justice. Whatever you decide, open the des Annereaux an hour before serving, and pour it preferably into a decanter, and enjoy!
Chateau de Annereaux is presently owned by the Milhades, a Bordelais family known for their uncompromising devotion to the production of fine wine and unwavering commitment to the viticultural restoration of historical Bordeaux estates. Critics consider Chateau des Annereaux to be this family's crowning achievement. No time in its more than five centuries of continuous production has Chateau des Annereaux produced better wine than it does today, prompting Decanter to call this property, "an essential discovery for any claret lover". Situated on the plateau near Lalande in the heart of the appellation, Chateau des Annereaux produces one of the region's largest lived wines. Here, the gravel and clay soils favor Merlot, and the 55 acre vineyard is planted primarily to that variety, with the balance consisting of lush, fragrant Cabernet Franc. Vinification is totally traditional, beginning with hand-harvesting and a long maceration (time the fermenting must spends on the skins). Elevage or ageing takes place in small barrels, about 35-50% of which are new each year. The resulting wine is invariably rich and full, and long lasting, developing a creamy richness with bottle age.

A pleasing Thanksgiving table was set with glassybaby, and everyone had plenty of turkey with all the trimmings: sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce, and lots of gravy! And of course, as is tradition, the kids put black olives from the relish tray on all five fingers.
Some family members, as can be clearly observed, overdid a skosh and immediately took their places on the sofa for postprandial forty-winks:
But they came back to life when they heard it was dessert time!
Speaking of eating, did you see the two page spread in "Food & Wine" featuring glassybaby and drinkers? Drinkers are on my "to buy more of" list in time for the holidays. They make any gathering more festive.
'cedric' is especially cheerful, as well as versatile. The gorgeous hue is as at home at a holiday celebration in December as it is at a garden party in August.
There are seven glassybaby road shows on the docket for December including one in Spokane on Thursday the first.
Please join us and shop the glassybaby collection from 5:30 - 8:30pm at Madeleine's Cafe and Patisserie at 707 West Main Avenue, Spokane. We are pleased to tell you that 10% of sales from this jolly event will be donated to Lilac Services for the Blind.
Oh yes, just so you know, 10% of sales at the Bellevue store will be going to Special Olympics the entire month of December! So come on down!
Happy news! Armelle and Sean, our glassblowing couple, welcomed a new baby girl on November 18th. The young lady was named Juniper Anouk. Much happiness and love from your glassybaby 'family'.
And warm wishes to you our glassybaby friends.
Until next time,

Lithuania Moves a Step Closer to Adopting Euro
Lithuania received a preliminary green light on Wednesday from the European Commission and the European Central Bank to adopt the euro at a time when the Baltic state plans to spend more on social security and national defense amid heightened tension with neighboring Russia.
The commission, the European Union's executive arm, said Lithuania meets all the criteria for adopting the euro and proposed that it do so Jan 1, 2015. A formal decision is expected to be taken by the EU Council of Ministers in the second half of July 2014, the commission said.
Lithuania failed in an earlier bid to adopt the euro after inflation rose above the level allowed for entry. Like its Baltic neighbors Estonia and Latvia, the country of around 3 million suffered a sharp economic downturn in the wake of the global financial crisis that began in 2008.
Estonia entered the euro zone in 2011 and Latvia in 2014. The adoption of the euro in the Baltics is seen as another step in the region's deepening alliance with the West. All three nations joined the EU and North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 2004.
Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaité said in an interview Friday that introducing the euro in January will help attract investment to Lithuania and lead to lower borrowing costs.
Lower borrowing costs and increased inward investment should give the economy a boost, allowing policy makers to divert money to improve social security, she said. "This also helps us to secure additional resources for our security matters and to fulfill our obligations as a member of NATO," she added.
Ms. Grybauskaitė, re-elected in May to a second term, said "it is now time to return back to people what we have been not able to do during the crisis". Economic growth of around 3.5% two years in a row will support this process, she said.

The commercial development of the Internet has been punctuated with legal disputes over the use of trademarks as domain names, as metatags, as search terms, and as advertising keywords. As in previous disputes in copyright over the legal status of software, these Internet trademark disputes arise from the overlap of communicative and functional symbols in information technology. Such "cybermarks" are not merely indicators of product source, but function both as symbolic indicia for human recognition and as strings of computer code in the operation of automated search and indexing mechanisms. Application of trademark law's functionality doctrine, perhaps with some modest amendment, could begin to resolve disputes over the use of cybermarks.

Professor of Biochemistry
Department: Biochemistry E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Area of Expertise: Enzyme kinetics and mechanism; bioethics; teaching
Retired: 2007
After spending eighteen years in academic administration as associate dean and director of academic programs for Purdue's School of Agriculture, I returned to the Department of Biochemistry full time as a faculty member in July 2002. Prior to moving into administration, I had an active research program and published in the area of the kinetics and mechanism of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. I employed both steady-state and stopped-flow kinetic methods, with a principal focus on flavin-mediated oxidation-reduction reactions. I also taught graduate-level courses in both areas. I retain an interest in these general areas and am interested in working in a consultative/advisory capacity with graduate students whose thesis projects involve any element of enzymology and/or kinetics.
My interest in bioethics has evolved from an avocational interest in philosophy and public policy dating back to my undergraduate days. I spent the spring 2003 semester on sabbatical leave at Duke University studying bioethics under Allen Buchanan, professor of philosophy and public policy, in the Sanford Institute of Public Policy, and in affiliation with Duke's Center for Genome Ethics, Law and Policy headed by Robert Cook-Deegan.
I am particularly interested in two broad areas.
For the next few years, my energies will be focused heavily on undergraduate teaching. For many years, enhanced by my experiences as an administrator of academic programs, I have had an abiding interest in the areas of curriculum and of teaching excellence. They still occupy my thinking. Are we educating our students – undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate – well? What constitutes a good curriculum? How do you decide if a curriculum is good? What is the difference between "education" and "training"? How does one become an excellent teacher? What is teaching excellence? Can it be learned/taught, or is it innate? Can we enhance our teaching skills? How can we promote the practice of talking with our colleagues about our teaching with the same enthusiasm that we approach talking with our colleagues about our research?

According to a new report, Colorado is one of the states with the lowest percentages of obesity, but the rate is still growing in this state and across the country. A study released by the Trust for Americans Health gave the government a failing grade when it comes to legislation related to obesity.
The report called "F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies are Failing in America", shows that over 25% of adults in 10 states are obese. Seven of those states are in the South and the number of obese people nationwide has ballooned. Approximately 119 million Americans, or about 65% percent of adult Americans are either overweight or obese.
The Director for Trust for Americans Health says the government is partially to blame for the problem. Shelley Hearne says policies, such as improving school nutrition programs and physical education, are needed to deflate the alarming number of growing Americans.
According to the report, Oregon was the only state where the rate of obesity did not increase.

Mel Strobel owns Evans Building Supply. He says around this time of year there's usually a reduction in costs, but not this time, not right now. And what would usually take up to 48 hours to produce is now taking up to eight weeks. Most of the supplies are going down to the coast. And Strobel is among the many building suppliers, contractors, and manufacturers who are feeling Hurricane Katrina's and Rita's bite.
With petroleum rates at all-time highs, diesel prices for fuel are even higher, shipping and handling rates, are through the roof. And the plywood supply is even higher. In the past five weeks, lumber costs have jumped 65 percent.
Daryl Hutchins owner of Slingluff Construction Company, says because of the inconsistency in material hikes, he has to make up for the difference, which in the end is passed on to customers
The bottom line: A $100,000 house will now cost about eight percent more. In Mississippi alone, 60 billion feet of lumber was destroyed. Only a small percentage has been recovered.

Issue No.01 - January (2004 vol.16)
pp: 56-69

Abstract—Memory-based collaborative filtering (CF) has been studied extensively in the literature and has proven to be successful in various types of personalized recommender systems. In this paper, we develop a probabilistic framework for memory-based CF (PMCF). While this framework has clear links with classical memory-based CF, it allows us to find principled solutions to known problems of CF-based recommender systems. In particular, we show that a probabilistic active learning method can be used to actively query the user, thereby solving the "new user problem." Furthermore, the probabilistic framework allows us to reduce the computational cost of memory-based CF by working on a carefully selected subset of user profiles, while retaining high accuracy. We report experimental results based on two real-world data sets, which demonstrate that our proposed PMCF framework allows an accurate and efficient prediction of user preferences.

This was a difficult climb for anyone. The stones are slippery and dangerous. The Acropolis is an amazing sight that it even exists, but the repairs and the crowds will make me stay away forever now.
Not to our liking. The tour guide didn't interest us at all. The climbing at the Acropolis with all the construction going on was a nightmare. It seemed very disorganized and hard to hear the lady. The city was in turmoil with strikers shutting down the streets. We didn't feel welcome there at all. The Plaka is not like it used to be. Overpriced items and shopkeepers not as friendly as I had remembered from the 90's. We ate in a Taverna recommended by the guide, and I personally got food poisoning. I returned to the ship with great pain and new what it was from the moment I ate the late lunch. I had to rest that whole evening in bed to recover.
After hearing so much about the Blue Mosque, I was disappointed. The people there were very rude and really didn't want us. The building itself was interesting but so was San Marcos with the beautiful mosaics in Venice! Don't bother, people.
I thought this place was disgusting with nothing but junk to buy. The merchants were so rude to us, in fact. One said, "you Americans should go back home. Don't buy here. We don't want you." And, we were with 2 others and we hadn't said a word! It was most disconcerting and upsetting. It is so dirty over there and not somewhere I would ever buy anything.
This is a must-see in Istanbul but not something I would return to.
The tour guide was knowledgeable and thorough but the city is not somewhere I would return to. It was very dirty and overcrowded and gave me a bad feeling.
The Cisterns were interesting, but again, not a place I would return to. It is always interesting to see how those of the past lived.
Most important and worthwhile experience from the Roman era.
This is a place where the Virgin Mary supposedly spent her last days. It is a place of tranquility and of prayer. It is a wonderful visit and one should do it for the spiritual value.
We had a group of 8 people booked privately. The tour covered everything we wanted to see again. We had been there 17 yrs ago, so this was a different experience. Ephesus is a must-see for everyone. And "Mary's House" is a place to visit for spiritual value. We had been to the Basilica of St John on our last visit which is why we by-passed it this time. Our tourguide was a sweet, young lady with great hopes for Turkey.
We think Mykonos is beautiful but so overcrowded with tourists and more. the other side is prettier with the beach. But,for us as we live somewhere warm, it really didn't matter. We walked around and looked in shops. Nothing much to buy at any decent rates. This was my last time there after visiting three times before.
Naples is a busy city but very dirty. We took the Hop On Hop Off bus and did enjoy the sights, but we chose not to get off. The one place we wanted to enter was closed that Tuesday. The flies are everywhere there and they are digging to build their Metro. It was an absolute mess! One can take a boat to Capri, Amalfi or Sorrento and that is the only reason to visit Naples.

Sean Cassidy told The Anglo Celt that he was even more amazed that this had happened in view of the fact that he was open and frank with all the media, including the News of the World.
His son Ciaran (22) was killed on a packed London Underground train on the Piccadilly Line together with 26 other people. At the time of his death he had been working for a printing and stationery company.
Mr Cassidy revealed that the police said they would be back in touch with him in a few weeks time, but in the interim the hacking list saga remains a total mystery to him.
He confirmed that he does not know for sure yet if his land line phone was hacked but it has been found on the list under investigation.
"We have great support here from the public and people at work even ask me why they would want to target me, of all people," he said.
When asked if he was a News of the World reader over the years, he replied "sometimes I do and sometimes I don't".

The Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Ennis will not be further downgraded as part of a new policy being developed in relation to small hospitals, it emerged last Wednesday.
According to Deputy Joe Carey, he and fellow Clare TD Pat Breen, have met with Minister for Health Dr James Reilly informally on a number of occasions since the formation of the new government and have brought up issues in relation to the reduction of services in small hospitals.
"What he said in relation to the future of Ennis hospital is that we have come through the HIQA process, there are no patient-safety issues and there will be no change to the services that are currently given at the hospital," Deputy Carey told The Clare Champion.
According to Deputy Carey, "A policy in relation to smaller hospitals will be developed but Ennis is already there".
A meeting of the Fine Gael parliamentary party called to discuss the controversy over hospital closures took place last Wednesday and continued into the night.
"The HIQA report in relation to Ennis was published in 2009. Minister Reilly said Ennis has come through the HIQA process and there is no patient-risk fears now. We have a dramatically reduced service introduced by the last Government and we lost surgical services, we lost 24-hour A&E and all major trauma cases are brought directly to Limerick," Deputy Carey said.
"The hospital is working well at the present and we are committed to developing the new 50-bed ward block and works are ongoing. When fully completed, it will be the first Strategy for the Control of Antimicrobial Resistance in Ireland (SARI) compliant hospital facility in the country, public or private, which will help to combat hospital acquired infections, such as MRSA and C difficile. We are also committed to the development of an endoscopy unit, which is nearing completion," he went on.

The Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) warned that "further procrastination and delay is not acceptable and can put patients' lives and safety at risk", following confirmation that it will close it's A&E in November.
HSE Chief Executive, Cathal Magee, confirmed last week that Mallow General Hospital's emergency department is to be replaced in November with an urgent care centre, which will be open 12 hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week and will result in all major trauma incidents being referred to Cork University Hospital (CUH). A Medical Assessment Unit is also expected to be established there in April 2012.
Management and staff at the Mallow hospital will discover more this week following negotiations with the HSE.
He stated that Roscommon, Loughlinstown and Bantry hospitals would also lose their A&E departments.
Last Wednesday the HIQA published its background narrative and update on developments arising from HIQA's reports into patient safety issues.
It also warned that it believed that change for safety was long overdue in many aspects of the health system.
"The Authority recognizes and understands the difficulties in bringing about these changes. However, further procrastination and delay is not acceptable and can put patients' lives at risk. The Authority will continue to highlight patient safety concerns as they arise and evaluate and monitor the HSE's implementation of our recommendations and future compliance with national standards," HIQA said.
In August 2010, HIQA investigated the provision of services at Mallow General Hospital, following information received about the care of a patient with complex clinical needs who subsequently died at another hospital.
"In September 2010, subsequent to the launching of the Mallow Hospital investigation, the Authority received for the first time a national HSE report setting out, by HSE region, issues raised in the Ennis report recommendations as they related to acute clinical services in similarly sized hospitals to MWRH Ennis."

All Is True? Naye, Not if Thy Name Be Shakespeare
By WILLIAM S. NIEDERKORN
Published: August 19, 2003
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 — Shakespearean fraud can be good material for comedy, and "Fakes, Forgeries and Facsimiles," an exhibition that opens on Wednesday at the Folger Shakespeare Library here, shows it. A letter once said to be from Queen Elizabeth begins:
"Wee didde receive youre prettye Verses goode Masterre William through the hands of oure Lorde Chamberlayne ande wee doe complemente thee onne theyre greate excellence." Sent to "Globe bye Thames," it orders the playwright "withe thye beste Actorres" to "come toe usse bye Tuesdaye nexte" in "Hamptowne," where she is expecting to be visited by "the lorde Leicesterre."
There was just one catch, an exhibit label points out: Leicester died before the Globe was built.
But that was too subtle a point to stop William Henry Ireland, who was 17 in 1794, the year he "discovered" many Shakespeare manuscripts. To great public acclaim his father, Samuel Ireland, a Shakespeare idolator, eagerly published all of them he could.
How had manuscripts like a love letter Shakespeare wrote to Anne Hathaway, with a lock of his hair attached, come into William Henry's possession? As he explained, they were given to him by a Mr. H., who would allow publication but demanded anonymity. And what's more, he said, they were an inheritance.
You see, it was like this: Shakespeare was out drowning one day, and an ancestor, named of course William Henrye Irelande — well, let Shakespeare tell it — "Savedde mye life whenne onne Thames." Shakespeare expressed heartfelt gratitude:
In life wee
wille live togetherre
shalle forre a lytelle
part usse butte
Shakspeares Soule restlesse
inne the grave shalle uppe
Agayne and meette his freynde hys
Inne the Bleste Courte of Heavenne.
Then in 1796 the play "Vortigern," from the "Shakespeare manuscript" newly discovered by the young forger, was produced in London. It was a bomb, the game was up, and William Henry confessed. But the public had almost as much enthusiasm for forgeries it knew were forgeries as it had for forgeries it thought were genuine. There was still a bright future for a 19-year-old (though some suggest he lied about his age) who could sign Shakespeare's name as well as Shakespeare could — and had done so in scores of books called the Shakespeare Library.
Another Shakespeare Library, the Folger, is not shy about discussing the deals in which Henry C. Folger, the library's founder, was taken.
There is a "Taming of the Shrew" drawing that an art dealer, John Anderson Jr., sold Folger in 1927 along with 35 others, under the pretense that they were by the 19th-century painter J. M. W. Turner. As Anderson apparently had more of these drawings, he went on to promote them, saying that such Turner drawings were in "the matchless collection of Shakespeareana belonging to Mr. Henry C. Folger."
A "Richard III" quarto with five William Penn signatures was sold to Folger by a book dealer who believed it had been owned by the William Penn who was the father of Pennsylvania's founder. (Not.)
An edition of Shakespeare's works whose bookplates say it was from "John Adams Library" was bought with the bookseller's assurance that the former president had owned it. But someone forgot to scratch out the apostrophe on one bookplate, showing that that library was plain old John Adam's.
A guessing game lets visitors try to distinguish real from fake. Which actor's picture is an original drawing and which is an inked-over photograph, the one of David Garrick or the one of Junius Brutus Booth as Hamlet? And it is hard to tell a 1555 original from an 1800's facsimile in facing pages of "The fardle of facions conteining the aunciente maners, customes, and lawes, of the peoples enhabiting the two partes of the earth, called Affrike and Asie" by Johannes Boemus.
Fakes, too, are of two parts. While some are created to deceive, beguile and cheat, others are acknowledged by sellers and add value to books.
Books several hundred years old are often missing pages. Good facsimiles let libraries complete their books, as the Folger repeatedly shows. Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" (1477), one of the first books printed in England, is shown in a copy completed with 16 facsimile leaves, while a copy of "Henry V" from 1600 is mostly facsimiles and has only a few original pages.
Books can also be completed with pages from other original copies. Copies of the First Folio (1623), the first collected edition of Shakespeare's works, that were completed this way are on display. Two copies of the book displayed side by side show marginalia written by the same hand, leading to the conclusion that the same copy of the First Folio was used to complete both of them.
In the age of the fax machine, viewers of the show get a fresh appreciation for the word facsimile. A facsimile could be, for instance, a book of autograph manuscripts like "The Autographic Mirror" (1864), containing a photolithographic reproduction of a letter from Elizabeth I to James VI of Scotland, later James I of England. Or a 1967 photographic reproduction of "Astronomicum Caesareum" (1540), containing "volvelles," paper disks that rotate to show astronomical changes, like star positions or when the Moon's light side or dark side will be visible.

This week's blogger challenge was to create a project using this picture of bed coverings as inspiration. Awesome color combo, huh? I'm not sure I'd want all of those striking colors in my bedroom, but it sure is great inspiration for my card this week. I just LOVE red, black and white together!
I needed to make an anniversary card for my in-law's upcoming 51st anniversary, so I took this opportunity to combine my "need" with my challenge.
I was so happy to finally receive my Top Note Bigz die from Stampin' Up! after waiting for what seemed to be forever while it was on back order. Since I've gotten it, I've been putting it to a lot of use. I trimmed my white piece along the perforated lines so that my black piece acted as a perfect mat. Take a peek on the inside of the card and you'll see that I used the left over from the black die cut cardstock to decorate the inside of the card, leaving a nice place to write a personal note.
I made my "band" by stamping two different stamps from the Guide Lines set from Papertrey Ink. Then added ribbon to the bottom and mounted that onto a scalloped edge.
Don't you just "love" these glitter chipboard letters. Best part is they came with the glitter already on them! No muss, no fuss, just some sparklie love.
It will be really interesting to see what all the other Blogger's Challenge players do with their inspiration piece today. If you click the Blogger's Challenge logo along the left-hand sidebar of my blog, you'll find a list along with links to their blogs. I hope you will check them out.
Thanks for checking in today. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend filled with lots of sparklie love. :)
Stuff I Used: Stamps: Guide Lines (PTI); Papers: Stampers Select White, Pure Poppy, Basic Black; Ink: Archival Ink - Jet Black; Other Stuff: Top Note Bigz Die (SU!), Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Glitter Chipboard Letters (Paper Studio), Flowers -Blossoms & Buttons 5th Avenue-Elizabeth (Making Memories), Brads (Making Memories) Scalloped Border Punch, Pure Poppy Luxe Satin Ribbon.

I did this sketch on site and everything was very flat blue. I'd wanted to try some of the things I learnt on the Ken Kempley workshop and it seemed a perfect subject matter.
Learning points: I need heavier watercolour paper to layer properly as we were shown then. Also, the foreground is too bland and doesn't draw you into the picture. Oh well, I'm happy with how productive today has been, even if not it hasn't been totally successful.

I love the hazy buildings in the distance. And there is nothing wrong in the foreground that can't be fixed with one more wash! I'm really enjoying your watercolour sketches :0)ReplyDelete
Mi sembra che il risultato sia buono e che stia dentro il mondo degli sketch ... on fit ... Good!ReplyDelete
I added another wash to the sea Sandra. Looks worse now. A learning moment.ReplyDelete
you need to use paper with at least 200 grams . the watercolor moleskine notebook paper is very good. I only use it, although is quite expensive.ReplyDelete
Thxs Omar. This is something I did at home so isn't in a sketchbook. I will buy heavier paper next time.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your comment. I have had to put word verification on again as I keep getting spamed. Sorry.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Already criticized for long wait times for medical appointments, the Department of Veterans Affairs has fallen short of another commitment: to attend to the needs of the rising ranks of female veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, many of them of childbearing age.
Even the head of the VA's office of women's health acknowledges that persistent shortcomings remain in caring for the 390,000 female vets seen last year at its hospitals and clinics -- despite an investment of more than $1.3 billion since 2008, including the training of hundreds of medical professionals in the fundamentals of treating the female body.
According to an Associated Press review of VA internal documents, inspector general reports and interviews:
"Are there problems? Yes," said Dr. Patricia Hayes, the VA's chief consultant for women's health in an AP interview. "The good news for our health care system is that as the number of women increases dramatically, we are going to continue to be able to adjust to these circumstances quickly."
The 5.3 million male veterans who used the VA system in fiscal year 2013 far outnumbered female patients, but the number of women receiving care at VA facilities has more than doubled since 2000.
The tens of thousands of predominantly young, female veterans returning home has dramatically changed the VA's patient load and the system has yet to fully catch up. Also, as the total veteran population continues to decrease, the female veteran population has been increasing year after year, according to a 2013 VA report.
All enrolled veterans can use what the VA describes as its "comprehensive medical benefits package," though certain benefits may vary by individual and ailment, just like for medical care outside the VA system. The VA typically covers all female-specific medical needs, aside from abortions and in-vitro fertilization.
The strategic initiatives, which sprang from recommendations issued six years ago to enhance women's health systemwide, have kick started research about women veterans' experience of sexual harassment, assault or rape in a military setting; established working groups about how to build prosthetics for female soldiers; and led to installation of women's restrooms at the more than 1,000 VA facilities.
Yet enduring problems with the delivery of care for women veterans are surfacing now amid the growing criticism of the VA's handling of patient care nationwide and allegations of misconduct, lengthy wait times and potential unnecessary deaths.
Used to treating the men who served in Vietnam, Korea or World War II, many of the VA's practitioners until a few years ago were unaccustomed to treating menopause or giving advice about birth control.
The study on distribution of prescription medication that could cause birth defects is illustrative of the lagging awareness.
One of every two women veterans has received medication from a VA pharmacy that could cause birth defects, compared to one in every six women who received drugs care through a private health care system, said the study's author, Eleanor Bimla Schwarz, a senior medical expert on reproductive health with VA.
Hayes said the VA seeks to place a trained, designated women's provider in every facility and expects to install a "one-stop" health care model that allows women to go to one provider for a range of services, including annual physicals, gynecological care and mammograms.

National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute Announced
On August 15, 2012, the White House announced the launch of a new public-private institute for manufacturing innovation in Youngstown, Ohio. The new partnership, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (NAMII), includes manufacturing firms, universities, community colleges, and nonprofit organizations from the Ohio-Pennsylvania-West Virginia "Tech Belt."
The consortium was selected through a competitive process led by the Department of Defense and will receive an initial $30 million in federal funding, matched by $40 million from the consortium itself.
On March 9, 2012, President Obama announced his plan to invest $1 billion to catalyze a national network of up to 15 manufacturing innovation institutes around the country that would serve as regional hubs of manufacturing excellence to help make U.S. manufacturers more competitive and encourage investment in the United States. The president's fiscal year 2013 budget includes a proposal to create the National Network of Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI).
The president also announced immediate steps to launch a pilot institute to serve as a proof-of-concept for the NNMI. Five federal agencies—the departments of Defense, Energy, and Commerce, the National Science Foundation, and NASA—jointly committed to invest $45 million in a pilot institute on additive manufacturing. In fiscal year 2013, NIST plans to issue a grant for applied research related to measurement needs in additive manufacturing.
Director of the National Economic Council Gene Sperling, Acting Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank and Under Secretary of Defense Frank Kendall along with other administration and local officials, announced the award at M7 Technologies in Youngstown, Ohio.

Baldrige Program Celebrates 25 Years of Performance Excellence
Not many 25-year-olds can boast that in their short lifetime they have helped thousands of organizations develop and maintain world-class operations, innovative management, efficient procedures, involved workforces and highly satisfied customers. But one certainly can: the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, the nation's premier means for organizations of all types to seek, achieve and maintain performance excellence.
On August 20, 1987, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Improvement Act, establishing the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and its supporting program "to spark U.S. competitiveness and create a sustainable economy." Named after Malcolm Baldrige, the 26th Secretary of Commerce, the Baldrige Award and the Baldrige Program have guided organizations worldwide on their journeys toward continuous improvement and enhanced performance through the seven Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence—leadership; strategic planning; customer focus; measurement, analysis and knowledge management; workforce focus; operations focus; and results.
The Baldrige Program is managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in cooperation with the private sector. It also is a partner in the Baldrige Enterprise, which includes the private-sector Baldrige Foundation, the Alliance for Performance Excellence—a body made up of the 33-plus state, local, regional and sector-specific Baldrige-based programs serving nearly all 50 states—and ASQ, an international organization promoting quality. The program raises awareness about the importance of performance excellence in driving the U.S. and global economy; provides organizational assessment tools and criteria; educates leaders in businesses, schools, health care organizations, and government and nonprofit organizations about the practices of national role models; and recognizes them with the Baldrige Award.
To celebrate its silver anniversary, the Baldrige Program has created a special Web page, "Honoring Our Past. . . Building an Even Better Future" (www.nist.gov/baldrige/25th/index.cfm), that provides numerous links, including:

Security First: New NIST Guidelines on Securing BIOS for Servers
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is requesting comments on new draft guidelines for securing BIOS systems for server computers. BIOS—Basic Input/output System—is the first major software that runs when a computer starts up. Both obscure and fundamental, the BIOS has become a target for hackers.
Server manufacturers routinely update BIOS to fix bugs, patch vulnerabilities or support new hardware. However, while authorized updates to BIOS can improve functionality or security, unauthorized or malicious changes could be part of a sophisticated, targeted attack on an organization, allowing an attacker to infiltrate an organization's systems or disrupt their operations. BIOS attacks are an emerging threat area. In September, 2011, a security company discovered the first malware designed to infect the BIOS, called Mebromi.*
An important mechanism for protecting BIOS in servers is to secure the BIOS update process, guarding against unauthorized BIOS updates. NIST's 2011 publication on BIOS security** provided instructions for protecting BIOS in desktops and laptops. The guidelines focused on the core principles of authenticating updates using digital signatures, BIOS integrity protection and "non-bypassibility" features that ensure that no mechanisms circumvent the BIOS protections.
BIOS Protection Guidelines for Servers addresses BIOS security in the varied architectures used by servers. "While laptop and desktop computers have largely converged on a single architecture for system BIOS, server class systems have a more diverse set of architectures, and more mechanisms for updating or modifying the system BIOS," says author Andrew Regenscheid. In addition, many servers contain service processors that perform a variety of management functions that may include BIOS updates, and this document provides additional security guidelines for service processors.
Servers require more flexibility, according to Regenscheid, because in addition to having different architectures, they are almost always managed remotely. BIOS Protection Guidelines for Servers is written for server developers and information system security professionals responsible for server security, secure boot processes and hardware security modules. The draft publication BIOS Protections Guidelines for Servers, (NIST Special Publication 800-147B), is available at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/800-147b/draft-sp800-147b_july2012.pdf. NIST requests comments on this draft by Sept. 14, 2012. Please email all comments to email@example.com.
* Information on Mebromi: www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2011-090609-4557-99.

NIST Co-Sponsors the 2012 Biometrics Consortium Conference
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will co-sponsor the 2012 Biometric Consortium Conference (BCC 2012), September 18-21, 2012, at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Fla. The annual conference, produced in cooperation with the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA ), is focused on the latest advances in biometric technologies for identity management, electronic commerce, defense, homeland security and border crossing.
The two and a half days of meetings and seminars attract policy makers, government and industry executives, information technology users and developers, law enforcement officials, and systems integrators and researchers involved in using biometrics for personal identification and authentication applications.
This year a new track—the AFCEA Identity Management Focus Session—has been added. It covers best practices, national and international case studies, health care, and the challenges of working securely with developing technologies, including cloud computing and smart phones.
Speakers from India and Indonesia will discuss the large biometric applications they are undertaking in their countries. India's Unique Identification Authority of India project, for example, intends to enroll more than 1 billion citizens using biometrics conforming to internationally accepted biometric standards to facilitate delivery of financial and other services. Citizens will be issued a unique identification number that can be verified and authenticated online to eliminate duplicate and fake identities.
The conference begins with a history-based keynote on "FBI Biometrics—Approaching 90 Years," and the sessions move to address the current state of identity management, updates on face and iris recognition, voice biometrics, rapid DNA analysis, biometric standards, and biometric technologies for accelerating identity management. A presentation will spotlight the recently published NIST Special Publication 500-290, the new version of the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard. NIST's session will highlight ongoing biometric projects in NIST's Information Technology Laboratory.
In addition to the conference tracks, workshops will be held on a number of topics, including "Securing Your Biometric Data," "Biometrics in a Cloud Computing Environment Panel" and "Report on the Role of Biometrics in the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) Identity Ecosystem." A biometrics training update will also be held for IEEE Certified Biometrics Professionals.
Charles Romine, director of NIST's Information Technology Laboratory, will provide a keynote address on the opening day.
Concurrent with the conference is the Biometric Technology Expo that showcases a variety of solutions of biometric and identity management challenges.

SAN FRANCISCO -- 140 characters could be worth $1 billion.
Microblogging service Twitter publicly filed its paperwork for an initial public offering Thursday afternoon, announcing its intention to seek a $1 billion IPO, though that figure could be a placeholder before the company later announces the size and targeted price range for its IPO. The company also did not announce if it will list on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, though it did say it will use the symbol TWTR.
Ev Williams, Jack Dorsey and Biz Stone originally formulated the idea of Twitter as a group-messaging app in 2006, and many outsiders regarded the service as a novelty early on, a way for people to share inane thoughts 140 characters at a time. Inanity was no longer an issue when Twitter quickly became a go-to feed of real-time events and reactions, as well as a communication platform pliable enough to be handy for activists in the Middle East, politicians in the United States, and aid workers in tsunami-ravaged Japan.
"They turned it from a toy to a tool," Gartner analyst Jake Sorofman said recently, "and now a platform and an ecosystem."
Twitter's massive growth under CEO Dick Costolo -- Twitter announced that it had reached 500 million accounts in 2012, two years after Costolo took over -- produced strong IPO buzz in the past couple years, but neighbor Facebook's rough Wall Street debut quieted much of the excitement. The Menlo Park company exercised a record-breaking IPO in May 2012 that valued CEO

Taking Information Seriously: Misrepresentation and Nondisclosure in Contract Law and Elsewhere
Richard Craswell
Stanford Law School
October 24, 2005
Stanford Law and Economics Olin Working Paper No. 314
Stanford Public Law Working Paper No. 111
Contract law attempts in various ways to regulate the information that contracting parties exchange. However, most contract law doctrines (and most contract law scholars) have yet to come to grips with the practical issues involved in regulating information. For instance, the disclosure of information can produce costs as well as benefits, by distracting parties from other, more important information; so it is often hard to decide which information should have been disclosed in any given case. Similar costs and benefits are often involved even in cases involving false statements (misrepresentations), where liability might seem less controversial.
While these issues are underappreciated in contract law, they are much more familiar in federal consumer protection law, especially in cases involving false advertising; and they are beginning to be recognized in products liability cases involving the duty to warn. This paper suggests various ways to improve contract law's handling of misrepresentation and nondisclosure, all of which involve closer attention to the relevant costs and benefits.

Video: Tony Nominees Benj Pasek and Justin Paul On What Makes Actors Unique

6 Holiday Shows To See This Season (Slideshow)

'A Christmas Story: The Musical' Doesn't Need to Sing but You Don't Mind

The Colorado National Monument announced it will be getting more than $50,000 for improvements.
More than 160,000 people will hike the trails in the Colorado National Monument this year. And even though the trails are mostly dirt and rock the constant hiking does take a toll.
Joan Anzelmo, Superintendent for the Colorado National Monument says, "We're not funded to do the kind of major rock work and rehabilitation that we need to do." $58,000 in stimulus funds coming to the Monument will change that.
"It's the difference between doing trail improvement work or not having the trails maintained," says, Anzelmo.
County Commissioner Janet Roland says this is just a small amount of stimulus money that needs to come back to the area. "We are trying to get as much as we can of the stimulus dollars," says, Roland.
Roland says its unclear as to how much the stimulus will cost tax payers locally. But she would like to make sure it stays as little as possible. "The same amount that the federal government takes out of Mesa County for this stimulus plan of theirs, that same amount of money should come back to Mesa County. That's my goal."
Some of the stimulus that has already made its way back to the Valley includes $91,000 for the Community Development Block Grants for the City of Grand Junction. And $230,000 for the Energy and Conservation Block Grants, something shared between the city and county.
Roland says, "Do I agree that most of the things we are applying for are creating jobs and stimulating the economy? Absolutely, not. But I do want to make sure that we get as much of that as we can, its our money."
Anzelmo says the money coming to the Monument has already created jobs. "And we have already recruited for those positions and we did recruit locally in the Grand Valley for those jobs."
The Colorado National Monument could also get more funding from within the National Parks Service to help with trail renovations as well.

"The Voice" Winner Cassadee Pope Signs Deal With Country Label
On The Voice, Cassadee Pope was a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n' roll—and a lot of pop music.
Looks like the TV contest winner will be joining her coach, Blake Shelton, in the world of country music. Cassadee and her new label announced Thursday (Jan. 17) that she's joining Republic Nashville, home to acts such as The Band Perry and Florida Georgia Line.
And Cassadee is thrilled.
"Happy to announce I've officially been signed to Universal Republic Nashville!" she posted on Twitter.
It was Cassadee's country performances that convinced label group chief Scott Borchetta that she belonged in Music City.
"Each week Cassadee continued to knock down big country songs by Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban and Faith Hill," Scott said in a statement, "and after she won we were thrilled to find out that Cassadee was on the same page with us and wanted to come to Nashville."

The second record allows you to use an alternative subdomain for email hosting an delivery.
The third record allows you to use the docs.example.com subdomain with Google Apps, where you can use Google's document management system. This type of record requires additional configuration with Google.

European Commission's Directorate General for Regional Policy recently commissioned Professor John Goddard and Louise Kempton of CURDS to write a guide to help the Managing Authorities of ERDF Operational Programmes to improve the contribution of universities to regional development, with a view to strengthening the economic, social and territorial cohesion, in a sustainable way.
The document Connecting Universities to Regional Growth has been designed to enable public authorities to promote the active engagement of universities and other higher education institutions in regional innovation strategies for smart specialisation, in cooperation with research centres, businesses and other partners in the civil society.
It is also aimed at helping academic and economic partners to explore the benefits they can expect from working together for regional development. It is anticipated that this Guide will be one of the resources in the European Commission's 'Smart Specialisation Strategies' (or 'S3') Platform, the establishment which was announced in the communication Regional policy contributing to smart growth in Europe 2020.

Definition of primatology in English:
noun[mass noun]
The branch of zoology that deals with primates.
Example sentences
- It was in this climate that in 1952 Kinji Imanishi, the father of Japanese primatology, wrote a book that criticized the view of animals as automatons driven by instinct.
- These are just a few examples of the rich additions that behavioral primatology can make to understanding the human condition.
- Many of the people in primatology are looking now more at the learning aspect of behavior and cultural traditions - more at the flexibility of behavior than a genetic program.
- Example sentences
- My primatological reverie is interrupted by a crowd of visitors.
- The International Primatological Society was created to encourage all areas of non-human primatological scientific research, to facilitate cooperation among scientists of all nationalities engaged in primate research, and to promote the conservation of all primate species.
- Russell Mittermeier, a primatologist who is the president of Conservation International, described the find as 'one of the most amazing primatological discoveries this century'.
primatologist noun
- Example sentences
- When primatologist Jane Goodall first observed chimpanzees 'fishing' for ants and the larger, bulbous-headed red termites at Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park, she was astounded.
- 'When chimps reach age three or four, they start climbing and feeding on their own,' said primatologist Anne Pusey, head of research for the Jane Goodall Institute, based in Silver Spring, Maryland.
- Mehlman, the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund primatologist, says the behavior also suggests that complex tool-use may not have originated in chimps and humans but may have evolved earlier in the primate family tree.

Hi, i'm looking for a Linux equivalent of Windows XPe Enhanced Write
Filter, which basically will write all system changes to a ram disk
which can, if required, be committed to disk by the user via a write
utility. If power is removed and changes not committed to disk all
changes will be lost.
The reason i am after this is because i wish to run Linux on compact
flash. I have been messing around with pfsense firewall but it
transpires i need something a bit more flexible, a Linux based install
which can run on compact flash with minimal disk writes to compact
flash to ensure the CF card doesn't die, but also with the ability to
update the file system and install custom packages, install from
source etc.
It would be ideal to have BSD (ok not linux but dont want to get OT
here), CentOS or similair running on CF card, i know people talk about
make the file system Read Only but then that has issues with certain
packages in the system that need write access, would be nice if these
changes could be committed one as off writes.
Have searched for a compact flash enabled distribution but with the
benefits and flexibility of installing packages via apt-get etc but
cannot find one, hence my idea that a write filter driver which could
sit in between the CF card and IDE driver would be great... then i
would get the benefit of both worlds.
Any ideas? Any recommendations to a an existing CF based linux distro
would be great, but as this is for a number of router boxes that need
to be up and running in a short space of time i dont want to spend too
much time on the development side of it. Plug and play write filter
driver would be best.
Many thanks in advance,

In an initiative to create a community among teachers as well as foster potential programs for further development, Slow Food NYC and North Brooklyn Farms (NBF) partnered to host a Teacher's BBQ on a recent summer night at NBF's farm in South Williamsburg. In the shadow of the Domino Sugar Factory, amidst flourishing growth on their new farm, the farmers and teachers gathered to enjoy fresh food and drinks. There was spirited discussion sharing successes, struggles, and brainstorm potential resources the farmers could provide to help them develop or expand their garden programs. SFNYC and NBF are committed to creating a space for growth among teachers and the tools necessary to enhance their programming. The added takeaway was a synergy among a community dedicated to creating a unique, positive learning experience for students.
The Urban Harvest program at Slow Food NYC supports hands-on educational programs that give children a comprehensive understanding of what good food is: where it comes from; how it is produced; how it is distributed; how healthy it is for them; and, of course, how good it tastes. Urban harvest coordinators work with teachers in 17 schools throughout New York City supporting their efforts to grow their good food education curriculums and garden programs in and outside of the classrooms. For many of these teachers, building and integrating these programs into their student's lives are a labor of love, as they are often going above and beyond to create these unique educational experiences for the children. SFNYC wants to support these impassioned educators in every way to initiate and expand their resources and their communities... celebrating them and what they are trying to achieve for their students.
