Monterey County AVA Video
Monterey County boasts more than 40,000 acres planted with wine grapes – more than Sonoma Valley and nearly as many as Napa Valley. But it's the diversity of the area's climate, topography and soil composition—not the quantity of grapes—that makes Monterey County's wines special. From the fog-blanketed coastal hills to the sun-drenched Salinas River valley, vineyards in the county's nine appellations, or American Viticulture Areas (AVA), produce wine that is distinctly theirs and uniquely Monterey County's.
But how many consumers and members of the industry are aware of the breadth and depth of Monterey County's wine appellations? Until now, no single marketing piece captured and fully explained the diversity of the county's nine distinct AVAs. The county's AVAs are Monterey, Carmel Valley, Santa Lucia Highlands, Arroyo Seco, San Antonio Valley, San Bernabe, San Lucas, Chalone and Hames Valley.
In this video, Full Steam Marketing & Design explores the particular microclimates, soil characteristics and topography that distinguish each American Viticultural Area (AVA) and make them ideal for growing certain varietals, be it Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir in the Santa Lucia Highlands, or Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah in the Hames Valley. Growers and winemakers from each area describe their AVA's special characteristics and how they translate into the wine grown and made there. The video was shot over a 10-month period so that each growing season was represented.

BPC president reports encouraging outlook in State of College address
MOUNT VERNON—Dr. David Smith, president of Brewton-Parker college, encouraged faculty and staff with "Five Fs," faculty and their achievements, facility improvement, fundraising, faith-based activities and the college's future, during his annual "State of the College" address August 16 in Gilder Recital Hall on BPC's main campus.
With regards to the faculty at BPC, Dr. Smith announced the beginning of a mentoring program for new faculty members and mentioned several recent faculty achievements.
New faculty members hired for the 2006-2007 academic year include: Dr. Camille Castorina – Associate Professor, Business; Mr. George Mosley – Instructor, English; Dr. Mark Mosher – Associate Professor, Spanish; Dr. Mary Waalkes – Associate Professor, History; Mr. Harry Vogel - Assistant Professor, Sociology; Dr. Julie Tiu – Assistant Professor, Sociology; and, Ms. Shelia Simmons – Assistant Professor, Education, Health & PE.
The new faculty mentoring program will begin this semester and will be headed by Dr. Lee Cheek and faculty provost, Dr. T. Ronald Melton. "This remarkable new mentoring program will provide our new faculty with a better transition to academia," Dr. Smith said.
The highlighted faculty achievements included a healthy mix of academic publishing and nominations to prestigious institutions. Those announced included the following:
In speaking about facility improvements, Dr. Smith
Dr. Smith announced the late spring acquisition of two parcels of adjoining property in Ailey and Mount Vernon, one of which will provide access to the Briscoe Center, across the street from the main campus. The college also acquired 12.1 acres of land on the west side of the main campus for a scenic two-lane entry, to be constructed with the help of the city and state.
In the realm of renovations, Robinson Hall, a former male dormitory built in 1945, is in the process of being renovated for rehearsal rooms and a music technology center. The long term goal is to use the historic on-campus building as a student residence.
Plans are also under way to re-purpose the Lee House, a historic home off-campus, for faculty and staff apartments. Smith said construction on four large apartments will begin during this calendar year.
The Phillips Student Center snack bar will receive an upgrade to its interiors, making it "more attractive," Smith said.
New construction projects include the addition of the $1 million Hildegard Stanley Music Center. Construction will begin this fall thanks to more than $1 million in fundraising since December, 2005, Smith said. This annex to the Miller Music Building will include a band hall, studio offices and the possibility to add a music recording studio at a later date. A ground-breaking ceremony will be held Oct. 19 in conjunction with the fall meeting of the Board of Trustees.
Smith commended the Division of Math and Sciences, and biology professor Dr. David McMillin, for their efforts to build a 1.6 mile nature trail on the main campus, which is scheduled to open late fall.
In other outdoor facility improvements, Smith announced plans to improve Jones Lake. The project includes draining and dredging the lake, building an island on one end with a gazebo and a new pier to replace the unusable one.
With regards to fundraising, Dr. Smith was proud to announce that over $1 million has been raised in the college's $2.5 million capital campaign, which began last December. Smith credits the impressive fundraising to the staff in the Office of College Advancement, under the direction of its new vice president, Pam Davis.
Davis, originally from Jesup, Ga., started at BPC this past April. Other new staff members in College Advancement are Roger Byrd, director of Alumni Relations, and Gena Hart, administrative assistant.
The college and its faculty and staff participated in many faith-based activities, ranging from a local missions group traveling to Pascagoula, Miss., to provide relief to the victims of Hurricane Katrina to two students providing language translation at an international conference.
The college's main campus was the site of two summer music camps, sponsored by the Georgia Baptist Convention. One of the camps included the first ever GBC All-State Youth Choir and Orchestra, which held rehearsals at Brewton-Parker before departing on a concert tour of the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area.
Other external and main campus activities included a Community Block Party at Brewton-Parker's Hinesville campus in July. Over 200 people attended the event and met the campus' new director, Sandra Jenkins.
One of the upcoming activities will feature the Georgia Baptist Convention's Jubal Chorus concert, Thursday, Oct. 12 in Saliba Chapel. The concert is part of the 50th annual meeting of the Georgia Baptist Church Music Conference, which will be held on the Mount Vernon campus.

Equipment durability is an important consideration in food production, and within the harsh environments of many food processing operations, having sharp and durable blades results in better productivity and profitability.
In response to growing concerns over bacterial contamination, mechanically tenderized meat products must now be labeled as such and must include proper cooking instructions.
The number one poultry producer in the U.S. intends to eliminate the use of human antibiotics in chicken flocks by September of next year.
Since 1946, WW Johnson Meat Company has produced premium, quality ground beef distributed to retail and food service operations across the Midwest and beyond. As the company's workforce continued to diversify, it needed a way to break the language barrier between employees and trainers and verify that employees understood training concepts. This case study shows how WW Johnson Meat implemented consistent, multilingual content and automated recordkeeping to overcome barriers of learning.
Buckhead Beef wanted to implement consistent safety practices across its operation. The company held weekly meetings with employees to discuss safety, but the meetings were not effective in building a culture of safety. This case study examines how interactive training, food industry educational courses, and automated recordkeeping and reporting helped Buckhead Beef improve its safety record and boost efficiency.
Bye-bye manual testing: Replaced by new on-line gas analyzer. This case study examines how a meat processing company made the switch from manually and randomly testing of its packages five times each day to an on-line headspace analyzer for its Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) products.
Shelf life studies are used to determine how long a product can reasonably be expected to maintain its quality, safety, and character. These studies take into account not only products' functional qualities such as safety and effectiveness, but also cosmetic qualities such as color and texture that make them appealing to customers.
As a maker of cooking sauces, pickles, dips, and soft drinks, Greencore Foods has become a significant player in the food processing industry. However, the company's effluent from food manufacturing contains an array of inorganic salts and organic components which enter the waste stream in part from the intense wash-down of processing tanks and lines during clean-inplace (CIP) procedures for product changeover. This article explains how the company overcame the challenges of managing its waste water treatment at its Selby, U.K. plant.

US Gets Boost in Nuclear Power as Reactor Comes Back Online
From Penn Energy
Nuclear power production in the United States rose to its highest level in more than three months. Bloomberg reported that after the Tennessee Valley Authority reconnected a reactor at an Alabama plant, the U.S. reached 91,705 megawatts of nuclear power – the highest seen since September 14.
The reactor had been shut off since December 22 due to a power interruption to protection systems within the reactor, the article stated. When the reactor located in Alabama came back online, it added 664 MW to the country's nuclear output levels.
"Reactor protection systems control a number of systems throughout the unit, and all systems affected by the loss of power responded as designed," the Tennessee Valley Authority told Bloomberg. "The NRC resident inspector was notified and an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the power loss."

A Daily Dinner: Soft-Shell Crabs with Spring Greens
Along with ramps, soft-shell crabs are another favorite spring delicacy. Delicious even when pan-fried with just a dab of butter and tossed with pasta, these meaty, sweet crustaceans are worth seeking out.
When I got two of the season's first crabs the other day, I wanted nothing more than to batter them and fry them with little accoutrement. They're so flavorful that they hardly need it. After soaking the crabs in buttermilk for about 30 minutes (it help them absorb even more flavor), I coated them in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper, and pan-fried them for just a few minutes, until they were golden.
The crabs were the inspiration for the meal, but the star ended up being a salad of simple spring greens, dressed with a homemade avocado vinaigrette. If you only do one thing this weekend, you have to make this dressing.
Trek out to the greenmarket and gather up a big bag of spring's tender first greens—mizuna, lamb's quarters, watercress, frisee, baby spinach, etc. Anything goes and you won't regret having variety.
Spring Greens with Avocado Vinaigrette
1/2 avocado, pitted
1/2 c. buttermilk
2 tsp. red wine vinegar
6 c. mixed spring greens
1. In a blender or food processor, blend avocado, buttermilk, vinegar, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper until smooth.
2. Drizzle the greens with the dressing.
With the piping hot crab on top of the salad, the whole meal was a light, refreshing taste of spring. If you wanted to turn the meal into a vegetarian dish, the greens and dressing could be tossed with barley, quinoa or couscous for a more filling salad.

Making a decision
If you are ill or have a health problem, you can often choose between different treatments. In many cases there will be a treatment that is clearly right for you – or none of the options would be worth the trouble or justify the possible adverse effects. Then you will find it easy to decide what to do.
But sometimes you will have to make a decision. Then you have to compare different treatments and weigh their possible benefits and harms against one another. Although this is not always easy, there are some fundamental questions that may help guide your decision.
We have put together some questions that can be useful when making a decision. These questions can be grouped according to two different stages of decision-making.
- Collecting information: The first stage involves finding the information you need to make a decision.
- Evaluating information: The second stage involves assessing the information you have collected and weighing the pros and cons of the different options. The aim is to evaluate information in such a way that you can arrive at the best decision for you.
In many cases, the stages of collecting and evaluating information overlap. We have deliberately decided to describe these two processes as separate stages to show how one follows the other and to make the differences between the two clearer. You can find the main stages in the menu on the right.
IQWiG health information is written with the aim of helping
people understand the advantages and disadvantages of the main treatment options and health
care services.
Because IQWiG is a German institute, some of the information provided here is specific to the German health care system. The suitability of any of the described options in an individual case can be determined by talking to a doctor. We do not offer individual consultations.
Our information is based on the results of good-quality studies. It is written by a team of health care professionals, scientists and editors, and reviewed by external experts. You can find a detailed description of how our health information is produced and updated in our methods.

Morning team!
Steve here! It's Thursday so we are getting very close to the weekend, very close indeed.
I still have no Bentley, so I'll be zooming up the motorway on Saturday in the rental Suzuki! Uh oh, I doubt it'll end well, I just hope I'm back for the show on Sunday.
We digested some fantastic stories this morning, mainly about food would you believe.
People that eat breakfast burn more calories than those who are fasting. According to a new study people that eat first thing are likely to expend more energy by being active, mainly in the morning after eating. It may be a new study, but I'm sure it's something that we all know about, surely?
Also another food type story for you! Children whose parents are divorced are more likely to be obese. According to a new study, boys are especially prone to having excess weight. I guess that would explain why the producer is so fat...I just thought it was glandular.
Plus we also spoke about Kevin Spacey as hr reprimanded an audience member for leaving their mobile phone on during the opening night of his one-man show. Luckily a phone has never gone off in one of my one-man shows!
Until tomorrow,

2009 Repeat: SK's Media Fight Begins Anew
The media war is returning to the national agenda.
The entertainment industry was rocked this weekend when KBS said it would end one of its most popular shows, "1 Night, 2 Days," early next year because its star, Kang Ho-dong, is leaving it.
The speculation is that Mr. Kang, a professional wrestler-turned-comedian who also hosts shows on two other networks, plans to join one of the new TV stations that will go on the air in the next few months. Neither Mr. Kang nor KBS provided details.
But the move is one of the most visible changes yet in a reshaping of South Korea's media industry that is only going to get more lively in coming months.
For much of 2008 and 2009, South Korea's political scene was shaped by debate over the desire of President Lee Myung-bak to privatize two of the three broadcast TV networks owned by the government – KBS2 and MBC. The other big TV network, SBS, is privately-owned and the government planned to retain KBS1.
That effort failed when the powerful National Union of Media Workers, opposition parties and other unions resisted. Mr. Lee and the ruling Grand National Party came with a different idea – allowing newspaper companies to start TV stations that would compete with the existing Big Four – and passed such legislation in a fistfight-marred legislative vote in July 2009.
Then, late last year, the government chose four newspapers (all with political views that align with the conservative GNP) and the Yonhap news agency to start new TV stations.
None of the companies have announced launch dates for their new channels. But South Korea's journalism industry has been shaken up in recent months by reporters and editors leaving their jobs to take positions at the new stations.
Now, the media union, opposition lawmakers and other opponents to the change are taking a new tack to slow down the change. They want the new TV stations to be barred from selling advertising directly and instead required to use the government-run ad agency called the Korea Broadcast Advertising Co., or Kobaco, as KBS and MBC must do.
The media union said it will launch a general strike on Tuesday to press for legislation that prevents the new TV station from dealing with advertisers directly. Democratic Party leader Sohn Hak-kyu on Friday said such legislation should be a priority for the party this month, according to local newspapers.
Kobaco's monopoly on the sale of TV ads was found unconstitutional in 2008, a ruling that helped spur the media-industry reform effort. Kobaco was formed in the early 1908s by then-President Chun Doo-hwan as a way to keep a thumb on the money flowing to TV stations – and thus maintain influence over them.
It's ironic that the opposition parties and media union – many of which are led by democracy fighters who opposed Mr. Chun's authoritarian regime in the 1980s – now want to use one of Mr. Chun's tools for their own ends.

When commentators are discussing impending water shortages, they understandably focus on personal uses, from drinking water to bathing. But the resources needed to keep the faucets on are a just a drop in the bucket, especially considering the millions of gallons guzzled each day to maintain society's various mechanical processes, including energy production. Even an iPhone relies on water, IEEE Spectrum (June 2010) points out in the introduction to an illuminating package of articles on "the coming clash between water and energy."
"Plug your iPhone into the wall," the magazine reports, "and about half a liter of water must flow through kilometers of pipes, pumps, and the heat exchangers of a power plant. . . . Now, add up all the half liters of water used to generate the roughly 17 billion megawatt-hours that the world will burn through this year. Trust us, it's a lot of water. In the United States alone, on just one average day, more than 500 billion liters of freshwater travel through the country's power plants—more than twice what flows through the Nile."
In a bit of cyclical perversity, it takes an enormous amount of energy to push all that water through pipes, and in an era in which both resources—the water and the energy—are in greater and greater demand, conservation and efficiency become paramount. IEEE Spectrum profiles two places that may point the way for the rest of the world in balancing these twin demands: Singapore and Malta.
Singapore, an island with virtually no freshwater supply, collects wastewater, cleans it with a state-of-the-art filtering system, and returns it to the water system. One expert even credits Singapore's economic success over the past 45 years to its water strategy. While the filtering process is energy intensive, because it relies on natural gas imports, it also drives innovations in efficiency.
In Malta, a nation of 400,000 people on a seven-island archipelago between Italy and Tunisia, a "smart" electrical grid that is being created will monitor both water and electricity. The grid will heighten efficiency, prevent electricity theft, and prepare for coming strains on both systems. "Maybe the Maltese," writes IEEE, "can conserve their way to a sustainable future."

Women on the Verge of an Empty Nest
When my mother, an amateur photographer, finally saw the last of her four birdies fly off, she took a photograph of herself looking at once wistful and bemused, with the dog at her feet. She called it "Self Portrait of the New Me."
The message couldn't have been clearer: The kids were launched, and she was left behind. Then, like most of her friends, she went back to school and launched a mid-life career. Both of my grandmothers made changes, too, once their children were gone. They accepted that they had morphed into matrons, becoming community leaders and dressing themselves with elegance and care, as befitted women of a certain age. They had devoted the first half of their adulthoods to being wives and mothers, and now, with their nests empty, they were adopting a new idea of themselves.
As far as I can tell, my own generation of mothers doesn't really do the empty nest thing, no matter how large the hole left behind and no matter how pressing the grief. Unlike our mothers, we generally don't go back to school to finally launch careers or, like our grandmothers, embrace the newly won status of matron and then grandmother. Unlike past generations, today's middle-agers typically started their careers before marriage and motherhood. As for our wardrobe choices, my own concession to aging mainly involves wearing low-heeled shoes, but otherwise, like practically every woman I know, I continue to dress like I did in my student days. You know the uniform: jeans and a T-shirt or blouse, with clogs or sneakers or sandals.
There are other reasons we don't stop to realize that we're fretting over our empty nests. With the endless options for instant communications, we're able to check in with the kids, or vice versa, on an embarrassingly regular basis. When my eldest went off to college four years ago, a friend of mine who was a year ahead of me in the kid-launching game reassured me. Don't worry, he said: His wife and their college-age son "text at least once a day." Another friend, whose eldest is studying abroad, told me that she regularly talks to him. "I can Skype daily without any big buildup or pressure that this is the big, expensive, long-distance call," she said. "It's easy to communicate, and it doesn't cost anything."
Often, the nest doesn't even really empty any more. There's the so-called "boomerang" trend—my friend Heather calls it "cycling back in"—something that started well before the current financial meltdown. One study notes that as of 2007, 14.5 million children age 18 to 24 lived at home, more than twice as many as fifty years ago. Another, conducted by Columbia University, concluded that as of 2010, 52.8% of 18- to 24-year-olds were living at home. And even when grown children have moved out, we may well be helping them economically–if only through our family health-care plans–longer than the previous generation did.
I'm not at all sure that these ways of staying in touch are so good for moms. No matter how much our daily work and wardrobe routines remain the same once the kids leave, the house gets a whole lot bigger and our days a whole lot less filled with kid-related stuff. It's almost as if my entire generation is in denial that there's any real change at all—either that or we cling to the belief that the post-kid years are slated to be better than our years of active parenting. After all, an empty nest really does mean more time to do all the things that you're reluctant to do when the kids are still kids, such as travel whenever you feel like it, indulge in a new passion for music—or even get a divorce.
Après kids, the divorce rate increases 16%. According to the family therapist Terrence Real, 52% of married couples make it to their 15th wedding anniversary, while only 33% celebrate their 25th. On the verge of both an empty nest and our 23rd anniversary, my husband and I find these statistics rather jarring.
My friend Bonnie, herself just one year into the kid-free zone, told me that after her youngest started college, she tended to burst into sobs every time she saw a school bus. My friend Angie said, "I've filled my life up with lots of new exciting things so I didn't have to confront what's really going on, and it worked–except on my bad days, when I have this big empty hole inside me and no one to discuss it with, because everyone else is working or pretending that at fifty you have another fifty good years left."
So yes, among women of my generation, there is anxiety over our suddenly kid-free homes and our marriages, the loss of our daily routines, the vast new stretches of potentially empty—and boring—time, the prospect of loneliness. There is also the sudden vision of becoming grandparents, which tends to segue rather rapidly into becoming elderly.
What's missing is any culturally shared notion of "aging gracefully." Instead we throw ourselves more deliberately into our careers and our exercise routines. There is nothing wrong with this, of course, but it's hardly conducive to accepting loss—of one's youth, of having children at home—as a normal part of life.

Shreveport, La. The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's tennis team ended their regular season on a high note Tuesday afternoon as they downed Centenary College by identical 5-0 scores in their match doubleheader.
The Islanders finish the regular season at 11-11 overall and will now look forward to the Southland Conference tournament starting on Friday at 12:00 PM. The Islanders will be the No. 7 seed and will take on No. 2 seed Lamar, who they narrowly lost to on Sunday by a 4-3 final. It is the first time in the program's history that the Islander women have qualified for the SLC tournament.
"Obviously this was our most successful team in school history," said Associate Head Coach Jason Holland. "We ended the season with a .500 record and quality Division I wins, something that has never been done before."
The Islanders dominated from the opening serve, winning all 10 matches played on the day and only losing a total of two games in the matches.
In the first match, the No. 3 singles between Pernelle Soulie and Stephanie Canady ended in a 6-0, 6-0 win for Soulie. Megan Harless took a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Arielle Schulman in No. 4 singles. Nadia Filmalter too a 6-0, 6-0 decision over Polly Henderson at No. 5 singles. In No. 1 singles, Mirna Cicak had little trouble, winning 6-0, 6-1 over Courtney Myers. The No. 2 singles match was defaulted and gave Nina Ciric the win after Centenary did not have anyone to fill the spot.
In the second match of the day, Ciric and Cicak switched positions, with Ciric winning 6-1, 6-0 over Myers. Cicak took a 6-0, 6-0 win over Kate Buchanon in No. 2 singles. Harless defeated Canady 6-0, 6-0 at the No. 3 position. Filmalter got her second victory of the day over Schulman with another 6-0, 6-0 final at the No. 4 position. The final match of the day had Fabiana Mersan winning a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Henderson to complete the second 5-0 victory of the day.
"We used today as kind of a platform to work on things for Friday," said Holland. "We have our eyes set on that rematch with Lamar after coming so close this past weekend.
"Out of all the possibilities, I love this matchup, it is exactly who we would have wanted to play after being so close this past weekend."
The Islanders will now turn their full attention to the SLC Tournament, where they will have a change to avenge their last loss of the season, a 4-3 decision to Lamar on Sunday, April 19. The Islanders took the match down to the wire before losing the deciding point at No.1 doubles to give the Cardinals the doubles point and the win. The match was played in Beaumont on the Cardinals home court whereas this match will take place in Corpus Christi on one of the Islanders home courts.
"We are completely focused on our matchup with Lamar this Friday," said Holland. "They will be in our home town this Friday and have to deal with our fans on our home court."
The match will begin at 12:00 PM and will be held at the HEB Tennis Center on Shely Street. Ticket prices are $10 per day of $15 for a tournament pass, which allows admittance into all three days of the event. All fans are encouraged to come out and support the Islanders as they make their first appearance in the SLC Tournament.
"This is a great opportunity for our seniors as it is their first time playing in the post-season in their careers," said Holland. "I think we will see them fight the hardest they have ever fought.
"We need the fans to come out to recognize them for all that they have accomplished and all their hard work they have put in."

Celebrated for the unique approach, probing intellect, and consummate artistry he brings to a broad range of repertoire, Israeli pianist Inon Barnatan currently serves as the first Artist-in-Association of the New York Philharmonic. This unprecedented three-season appointment sees him appear as soloist in subscription concerts, take part in regular chamber performances, and act as ambassador for the orchestra.
"a complete artist: a wonderful pianist, a probing intellect, passionately committed, and a capable contemporary-music pianist as well."
In 2015-16, Barnatan embarks on his second season with the Philharmonic, playing Mozart with Jaap van Zweden, Beethoven under Music Director Alan Gilbert, and Saint-Saëns on New Year's Eve. Other upcoming highlights include his Disney Hall debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel, and a U.S. tour with the San Francisco Symphony and Michael Tilson Thomas, featuring dates at the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall.
Awarded the Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2009, Barnatan has performed extensively with many of the world's foremost orchestras, including those of Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco; the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields; Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin; Orchestre de la Suisse Romande; and the Jerusalem and Shanghai Symphony Orchestras. He has worked with such distinguished conductors as Roberto Abbado, James Gaffigan, Matthias Pintscher, David Robertson, Edo De Waart, and Pinchas Zukerman. Passionate about contemporary music, last season the pianist premiered new pieces composed for him by Pintscher and Sebastian Currier. "A born Schubertian" (Gramophone), Barnatan's critically acclaimed discography includes Avie and Bridge recordings of the Austrian composer's solo piano works, as well as Darknesse Visible, which scored a coveted place on the New York Times' "Best of 2012" list. His Chopin and Rachmaninoff duo sonatas album, recorded with cellist Alisa Weilerstein, will be released by Decca Classics next season.
Recitals at Mostly Mozart and Aspen
On August 13, Inon presents a solo recital that marks his festival debut at Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart, highlighting repertoire inspired by the kind of dance suite popular in the Baroque with movements including a chaconne, allemande, courante, fuga, and others. What distinguishes the concert-length suite Barnatan assembled is that each movement is by a different composer, and the composers themselves span periods from the Baroque to the 21st century. Also featured on the program is the New York premiere of Variations For Blanca by Thomas Adès, who himself has a penchant for musical dialogue with past eras: his deconstruction of a Dowland song serves as the title track on Barnatan's album Darknesse Visible, which earned the pianist a coveted spot on the "Best of 2012" list in the New York Times. The concert can be streamed live here on lincolncenter.org beginning at 10pm ET.
Five days after his Mostly Mozart debut, Barnatan performs an almost entirely different solo recital at the Aspen Music Festival. This summer's program includes Ravel's notoriously difficult Gaspard de la nuit, also recorded on Darknesse Visible, as well as the U.S. premiere of Grawemeyer Award-winning composer Sebastian Currier's Glow. Currier's piece was another Barnatan commission, and the pianist gave the world premiere in London's Wigmore Hall a year ago.Later in the month, Inon returns to the Mostly Mozart Festival to join Garrick Ohlsson August 24-27 for Mozart's Sonata in D for Two Pianos, K. 448 in David Geffen Hall, part of a program that also includes performances by the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra and Mark Morris Dance Group.
Partnership with Vocier Titans Collection
Live Recording of Messiaen's Des canyons aux étoiles… Now Available
Commissioned by art patron Alice Tully for the U.S. bicentennial and premiered at Lincoln Center in 1974, Canyons celebrates the awe-inspiring beauty of the great canyons of southwest Utah, which include Cedar Breaks, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Park. Encompassing a characteristically Messiaenic mix of birdsong, modernist experimentalism, and religious mysticism, the work expresses the composer's faith in the power of nature to communicate the very essence of God.
Inon's frequent collaborations with Alan Gilbert — who launches his eighth and final season as Music Director of the New York Philharmonic next month — include his three-year residency as the New York Philharmonic's inaugural Artist-in-Association. Inon and Alan look forward to reuniting in the coming season to continue recording Beethoven's Five Piano Concertos with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and to perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Leipzig Gewandhausorchester.
Listen to Des canyons aux étoiles… here on iTunes, here on Amazon, and here on Spotify.
Delft and Santa Fe Chamber Music Festivals
Shortly thereafter, Inon appears at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival for a solo recital on August 4 — including works by Bach, Ligeti, and Brahms — and subsequent chamber performances with festival musicians. Concerts on August 7 and 8 include works by Moszkowski and Schubert, with a finale on August 9 featuring Beethoven's Piano Trio No. 3. Full repertoire and tickets can be found on Inon's schedule.

Pine-Richland's Giordano on pace to defend WPIAL Class AAA boys' diving crown
As a junior last season, Pine Richland's Dominic Giordano scored a 544.50 to capture the WPIAL Class AAA diving championship. He blew out the field, with the next highest score being over 100 less than his.
The last time the WPIAL had back-to-back champions it was North Allegheny's Connor Kuremsky, who won all four WPIAL diving championships during his career. Now it is three divers from the Tigers chasing Giordano.
Through Friday, Giordano had the highest reported score among WPIAL divers with a 365.5. He was ahead of three North Allegheny divers, Christian Wrigley (224.35), Lucas Hilderbrand (176.9) and Andrew Doerfler (170.05).
Shaler's Thad Piet also had a reported dive of 163.45.

New Incentives to Storm-Proof Homes
By Kelli B. Grant
Installing storm shutters or trading up for impact- and wind-resistant roofing isn't just a way to make a home a safer place to weather a major storm. Increasingly, such projects are a way to cut the insurance bill.
Prompted by rising financial losses from natural disasters, insurers and state governments are pushing discounts for consumers who add safety features to their homes that could better protect them against damage from hurricanes, earthquakes and other disasters. Depending on where you live and what steps you take, savings could top 35%.
Of course, the insurers and governments have incentive to do so: financial losses from natural disasters have increased dramatically as building costs rise and populations become denser, especially in high-risk areas such as coastlines. In all, U.S. catastrophe losses totaled $20.6 billion for 2010, including $13.6 billion covered by insurance. That's the highest on record for a year without a hurricane landfall, and up 30% from 2009, which previously held that title. 2011 could be a contender, too, with tornado and flooding damages already topping $9 billion and predictions for an active hurricane season.
Consumers don't seem to be losing out, either. In addition to discounts on their premiums and preferential rates, homeowners who take steps to disaster-proof their property may be eligible for government grants, tax-credits and sales-tax holidays to cut the upfront costs for materials and construction. On the back end, they may see increased home value when it's time to sell.
But experts say such remodels are no guarantee of savings or safety: a solid insurance policy and family emergency plan are still vital.

Semi-Permanent Bench Grinder Mount
Threaded inserts keep grinder locked-down, but easily movable.
My work table often pulls double- and triple-duty for tons of shop tasks. Most often it's sharpening, but I also use it for drilling, holding bench hooks and shooting boards and occassionally as a chop-saw station. Hopefully soon, it will also hold a midi-lathe.

DOHA: Thirty-six participants from 10 countries yesterday completed the UNWTO Regional Capacity Building Course on Tourism Strategy organised by Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) and UNWTO THEMIS Foundation.
The five-day regional workshop held at Al Mirqab Souq Waqif Boutique Hotel provided the participants skills needed for building successful destination tourism strategies.
Hassan Al Ibrahim, Director of Strategy Development and the Head of the Tourism Industry Development Committee at QTA, said the workshop was part of the QTA's Tourism Strategy.
"This initiative is one of those we have launched in the field of developing human capital, which is one of the most important factors in the implementation of the strategy. This initiative also comes as an implementation of the second phase of the agreement we have signed with the UNWTO in February. We will hopefully be organising more courses before the end of the year and every quarter next year," said Al Ibrahim.
A vital element of the workshop was excursions to existing and potential tourist destinations in Qatar to assess their potential for growth.
Divided into three groups, the participants visited potential tourist attractions in the country including Zekreet, Al Zubarah, and villages and forts in the Northern part of Qatar.
"They visited these sites to propose some policy recommendations and product development recommendations, which they shared in the final session today and definitely we'll try as much as possible to integrate their creative and innovative ideas in our plans moving forward to the future," added Al Ibrahim.
Omar Valdez, Executive Director of UNWTO Themis Foundation, described the course a complete success with very good participation from Qatar and the Mena region as well as experts from Hungary and the UK, "making the course an international forum for discussion on tourism and policy and strategy."
"The UNWTO has already organised a few courses in the past but this is the first one in a series of courses that would come in the near future, within the framework of collaboration with QTA and UNWTO," said Valdez. He said there will be two more courses this year; one in September on "Tourism Product Development" and another in December which will focus on "Investment and Public and Private Partnership."
"Our plan is to continue delivering educational and training activities to all UNWTO member states in this region and around the world, because this is one of the best ways to improve competitiveness and sustainability in our member states."
This initiative is just one of the many initiatives of QTA along developing human capital building capacities in the sector. Another important initiative Al Ibrahim mentioned was the Tour Guide programme, in which QTA has collaborated with Stenden University Qatar.
The first batch under this programme has already graduated. This programme focuses on Qatari candidates to attract them to the sector and the tour guide job, one of the most important jobs in the sector, he added.
"We will also be targeting the public and private sectors moving forward in the future with some of these initiatives," he said.

New D4 Arrived Home Yesterday
My personal Chief Financial Officer (wife) gave the ok for me to purchase a new D4 and I brought it home yesterday from my local Nikon Dealer near my home. Now I am reading all the technical stuff and setting up the camera/computer. Will "play" with the new toy starting tomorrow. And Thanksgiving will really get the test. I greatly appreciate all the commentary about the D4 and the D600 which was the alternative. And my D200 begins its quiet retirement years.

Welcome to your new favorite forum. Enjoy your D4.

Enjoy your new camera.
Kind regards.
#3. "RE: New D4 Arrived Home Yesterday" | In response to Reply # 0
Congratulations. The only drawback is that coming from a D200 (assuming your profile is up to date) you have a lot of learning to do. That's not a bad thing, since it encourages you to go out and take pictures. Not only that, it gives you an excuse to avoid housework while you master your new tool.
I got mine under similar circumstances. The CFO now gets some new furniture for Christmas.
As part of my study regimen, I made a spreadsheet containing all the menu items (at least as far as I could figure them out). That took about 2 days going through the manual with the camera and laptop to check things out. I recommend that as an exercise, but if you don't want to do that you can look at mine at http://small-farm.org/D4-spreadsheet.xls . It's password protected to avoid accidental modification, but you can open it read-only or use the password which is D4. PS: it's a work in progress.
When I used a D200 I would go up to ISO 400, maybe 800 with some noise reduction. Rarely above that. On the D4 I'll probably use 800 as the normal sensitivity (except maybe outdoors). Playing around over the last couple weeks I get good clean images at 3200, 6400 needs a touch of noise reduction, 12800 is quite usable with noise reduction (I use Lightroom). ISO 50K is OK with significant noise reduction. I wasn't expecting much from ISO 200K, but it will take pictures when the light is so low I can't see much through the viewfinder. At that point you need noise reduction and downsampling to get usable stuff, but you can get something from it.
Live view has a quiet mode which is just a bit less noisy than the shutter+mirror. However, it also has a silent mode, where nothing moves. When I tried it out the camera took about 25 shots before I realized it was working. The only thing that told me it was taking pictures was the green light started to flash. No clicks, no beeps, no sound at all.
A word of warning: If you don't have a good filing system for your photos so you can find what you want quickly after 3-4 years, get one in place now. The D4 is so much fun to use you will be taking 1000 pix a month or more. Pretty soon you will be buried in image files unless you develop a habit of deleting the stuff you'll never look at again. I like Lightroom for its Digital Asset Management capacity. Putting tags on all my photos is essential to me. I also have a program to download pix from the card and give them meaningful names. A month from now you will not remember what DSC_1348 is a picture of, but if it's something like "Suzie's Birthday Party 2012 006", at least you have a clue. Lightroom can change the name for you, but since I got the program before I found out that Lightroom can do that, I've stuck with it.
Before this post gets so long you won't read it, let me conclude with another congratulations and have fun with it. Put some pix in your gallery and don't forget to update your profile.

Hi Dwight, Many thanks for your words of encouragement. My work flow consists of downloading the images from the card to a primary file on my iMAC 24. Then after viewing the files I will move them over to iPhoto and play with them. I am still "learning about" Aperture that is installed on my MAC. The D4 will probably prompt me to learn faster. I have a library of images from digital, 35mm slides, 35mm negatives, and color and B&W photos in my primary file. I am looking forward to using the D4 both for family holiday images, and taking pics of the grandkids at their respective sportiing events; golf, baseball, and soccer. I do periodic photo work for the church and golf season photos for the high school golf team which my oldest grandson plays on.
I like your thought on creating a spreadsheet of the settings on the D4. The complexity certainly will tax just the mental memory process so I will get it down on a spreadsheet. The D4 is set up based upon a full two days of reading the manual. I will take some pics later today and see how they turn out, including the image file sizes. Want to understand the differential between my D200 and the D4. I currently have the ISO set at Auto and from 100 to 12,800. Based upon your comments and others I think I will adjust that down to 6400 and try it out.
As I get some experience under my belt with the D4 I will update my profile. I am thinking about establishing a SmugMug account and then put a link to it here in Nikonian. I need to get past the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
I believe that big tractor in the barn is the famous "John Deere Green" - nice rig.

Don't let me discourage you from trying out the higher ISO levels. The D4 shutter is rated to 400K so you can take all sorts of test shots in the process of learning the camera. I've probably taken 300-400 in the three weeks I've had it.
I generally set things to generic settings and adjust in post if needed. That means I don't have to stand there searching through the menu to find an adjustment while the shot is evaporating in front of me. The exposure is generally pretty close and I shoot RAW only so most everything is adjustable.
My D4 is generally set to CL (5fps), so I can take one shot or several. CH is too fast for me to squeeze off one shot. For Thanksgiving you will probably want some group shots. In our family there are a couple of blinkers, so I do group shots in bursts. Set the ISO to 3200 or above, set the camera to CH, and take a burst of 3-4 shots. Generally the blinkers have recovered by the 3rd or 4th shot and you have one with everyone's eyes open. If you want to be in the shot too, you can set up the interval timer (shooting menu) to take a sequence of shots, maybe 5 seconds apart in groups of 3.
I did a test of burst shots with my SB800. ISO1600, flash bounced from the ceiling. Got 10 shots before the flash power dropped off. http://www.flickr.com/photos/photofarmer/2366646996/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/photofarmer/4505910462/ . They say you shouldn't do that to your flash but I've not had any problems doing it occasionally. I let the flash rest for half a minute before I do it again, but I've only used this technique maybe 5 times at events.
I have a flickr account as you can see above. Never tried Smugmug so I can't compare it. Flickr has a free account but you're limited to 200 pix in your photostream. I believe the pix over 200 are still there and if you buy a higher level account you'll see everything. Don't know what the Smugmug cost is but flickr is about $25/yr (or free for the limited account). It does make it easy to share photos if you have a URL you can point to. I also have the website for the farm, which costs a bit less than $100/year for the domain and the hosting. That includes a few hundred GBytes of storage so I could put a lot of pictures there, but I would have to do all the coding. I do that for a couple websites (using Dreamweaver) and that's one way I share photos from the events I cover, but it's work, and I frequently don't have the time. The canned sites are a lot easier.
The tractor is a JD3020. Nice one. Dates from around 1979. The whole lineup can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/photofarmer/8128999859/

>I am thinking about establishing a SmugMug account and then put a link to it here in Nikonian.
I have a SmugMug "Power" account and find the service very easy to use and flexible. When I shoot an event, I create a gallery for my clients to view their images and to share with others. I also do the same for family related events/activities. Here's a link for a free 14 day SmugMug trial: https://secure.smugmug.com/signup.mg?Coupon=xBv29L3wGGKDA

Suggestion: Put the camera away for at least 1 hour before and until one hour after the meal, or the CFO might not let you buy the new accessories you will now want for it.
Enjoy, it's a great toy.... I mean tool... yes, useful necessary tool. Who said "toy"?

I've had mine for about a month now, and it's just so much fun. The challenge is that it just may take me the rest of my life to figure out what everything does. There's just so much to learn.
The first important step I found was to set up the 4 shooting menus, and put your custom menu in place. Many have made some great lists for the menus and I used them.
Second is to try and figure out the many different focusing options. I'm still working on that.
In terms of high ISO, I question whether or not my camera is working right, because my images look awful at 12,800 and upwards. I can use some help with that for sure.
Oh and smugmug works great, although it clearly has it's limitations.

So how are you processing the images? Any noise reduction?
I shoot RAW only and use Lightroom, which includes some noise reduction. I can get useful pictures at 12800 and 25K with some noise reduction. At 50K and up it takes a lot of noise reduction and even some downsampling. PhotoShop might help out but I haven't had the camera long enough to try it out.
There are other noise reduction programs out there but I haven't tried any yet.

Why do Chelsea accept a #$%$ as their captain?
I don't understand. Can anyone explain how the likes of John Terry can be fronted as a leading representative of any reputable institution/organisation??
I would appreciate answers from Chelsea fans.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
good question, its not that hes a good player, thats for sure
- 1 Reply to frtg
He has ability to be a professional football player and most clubs would take him but as a representative(captain) he degrades the title. of captain. England found out to late and took the captainacy from him - but his antics have been well known for years (even the abusing of American tourists after the events of 9/11). my point is that chelsea is suppposed to be a class brand and having a a class package with #$%$ as its label (chelsea captain) does not go together.
Dregs of his type might of at one time represnted clubs like Leeds, Wimbledon or millwall surely chelsea know ths?
His private life should have nothing to do with it. He would have taken England further in the World Cup than the non entity Gerrard had he been kept as captain.
It is time that all celebs were treated on the merits of their professional behaviour, rather than their private lives, as long as they act within the law.
JT will always be captain, leader legend for his services to CFC

It has nothing to do with private life "Character/integrity/behaviour/"???
We are not talking abut anything sexual - it is about a low-life making a livng on the back of brand products which are supposed to represent CLASS and quality.
Selling hospitality boxes is against the sirit and values of the being a engalnd team captain (FRAUD)
Taking money from people for vists to exclusive places in chelsea football club and not declaring to the owners is (THEFT)
the only thing that can be said in terrys defence is that he is the rreslut of breeding with between subculture male and female low - lifes (mammy and daddy say no more.
I dont think he should represnt quality, brands, fairness, sportsmanship or any thing else.
Chelsea isa large corporate orgaization with a strong brand which spposedly represents CLASS. JT is a low-life who could crawl under a snakes belly with a top hat and platform shoes.
Regradless of his onfield abilities when you are at that level in business and internationally (England ) it DOES MATTER!
Even other player know waht he is up to from scams, deceit, theft fraud etc.? along with the pedigree of his family.
I object to him wearing an England badge to represent my homeland country and he should not get way with it in a football club which claims it has integrity

What a stupid question. Terry is our captain because he gives his all to the team, what he does in his private life is his business. As for the theft, deceipt and others you mentioned, you shouldn't believe everything you read in the red-top rags of our media,
If England is your apparent homeland country, firstly, "Why is your spelling so bad" and secondly, with all of the evidence of scams, deceit, theft and fraud you have against John Terry, I suggest you build up a case and take it to court.

I suggest you emigrate to Afghanistan or Somalia then.
Being a life long Chelsea fan, i am sorry to say there is not an answer to your question, as i do not see terry as a #$%$ bag at all, in fact why is he a #$%$ bag ? should be your question after all what has he really done wrong on the football pitch ? Nothing not 1 thing ,as for his private life the only person i feel sorry for is his wife, but on the field he is 1 hell of a good defender

Macy's Lures Midnight Shoppers
Nikki and Dwayne Bowens were browsing the Macy's home department on Sunday, where they were trying to finish their Christmas gift shopping before the work-week began. It was 2:00 am, but the couple was exhilarated by the novelty of seeing the usually bustling store practically empty.
"This is our first time ever doing this," said Ms. Bowens, a 38-year-old insurance broker, who was holding two sets of pajamas, and a $120 Martha Stewart reversible throw blanket and a $54.99 Conair foot massager for her mother in law. "It's more relaxing than I thought it would be."
With just 27 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, five fewer than last year, retailers "will have to work really hard for those last minute sales," says Craig Rowley, a consultant at Hay Group. By the second week in December, U.S. consumers on average had completed 47.1% of their shopping, compared with 52.6% at this time last year, according to a survey by BIGResearch for the National Retail Federation. The survey also reported that 19% of shoppers hadn't even begun buying gifts yet, compared to 16.5% who said they hadn't started at this point last year.
Macy's Inc. became the first major retailer to test the concept of 24-hour holiday shopping in 2006 at a single store in the Queens Center mall. Ron Klein, chief executive of the company's Macy's East division, which this year expanded the holiday marathon to 13 stores on the East coast, said in an interview that he was inspired by Paris's "Nuit Blanche" initiative, in which French cultural institutions remain open all night for a single night in October. "Publicity literally had nothing to do with the idea," he said.
At 1:30 am on Sunday, shopper Tamiika White was one of several people sitting on a chair in the Macy's women's shoe department, trying on shoes and boots. "I thought it would be interesting to see how many other people would be in the store," said Ms. White, 31, who walked out with Tommy Hilfiger sandals (at $40, a 50% discount) and $100 Lacoste boots. She said there were "more people than I thought."
The main floor, which sells handbags, cosmetics and jewelry, was more crowded than the upper floors, which were sparsely populated by late-night wanderers in the early Sunday morning hours. One Martha Stewart bedding display was upended, as if somebody had been sleeping there just moments earlier. When asked whether the costs of staying open outweighed the benefits, Mr. Klein said "we usually don't repeat things that don't work." –Rachel Dodes

WILLIAMSTOWN -City council on Tuesday gave unanimous voice approval to make the city's trick-or-treat an hour-long event.
"As a healthy lifestyle community, I think collecting candy from neighbors for an hour is long enough," said Mayor Jean Ford. "We are going to try it for this Halloween and see how it goes."
During the Sept. 17 city council meeting, Ford voiced her opinion as to a need for a unified Halloween trick-or-treat throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley as well as a shorter event for Williamstown.

Williamstown Mayor Jean Ford discusses the council's unanimous voice vote to change the city's trick-or-treat to an hour-long event from previous years' hour-and-a-half or longer.
"After the last meeting, I have had several phone calls and I know council members have as well from community members about trick-or-treat," she said.
Because Marietta has an ordinance that states the city will hold trick-or-treat the last Saturday of October of each year, Williamstown has traditionally held its at the same time to keep children from traveling across the river.
While Williamstown and Marietta join forces, other cities, including Parkersburg, Belpre, Vienna and North Hills, hold theirs together on another night.
"I did speak with the other (area) mayors about doing trick-or-treat at the same time next year and they all seemed interested," Ford said.
Parkersburg Mayor Bob Newell and Vienna Mayor Randy Rapp told Ford they would discuss the possibility with their councils and see what happens.
"Maybe next year all five cities will have (trick-or-treat) on the same night," Ford said. "If it happens, I think it will be a nice evening for everyone."
Ford has been advocating the need for a unified Mid-Ohio Valley trick-or-treat Halloween observation since 2011.
Williamstown's trick-or-treat will be from 6 to 7 p.m. Oct. 26, while Marietta will hold its from 6:30 to 8 p.m. the same evening.
Belpre, Parkersburg and Vienna will hold trick-or-treat Oct. 31. Times are currently unknown.
