After 25 days from the date the technician first came to my home, I called again and they reported that the part was reordered again (today) and it would be another week or more. HH Gregg gave me another number to call and register a complaint with. I called this numer and it was GE Zurich and spoke with someone who said they would find a technician and call me in 2-3 days. After already waiting 25 days I did not think it was appropriate to have to wait another 2-3 days just to hear that someone would be able to check the dryer and diagnose again. I then asked to speak to a complaint/customer service department and was transferred to very rude lady named Debbie who reported that my dryer could never be replaced until many service calls were completed. She told me I could not do anything about the situation. She also reported that there was no one else to complain to, that she was the supervisor. She refused to give me the name of anyone else who might help expedite the process. She also did not want to take a number to reach me during the day. She said I should have an answering machine if I wanted to get called back. Finally she agreed to take my work number. After 25 days I am still waiting for a dryer repair/replacement which is what the extended warranty is supposed to pay for. It has been very costly to take my clothing to a laundromat every week to dry them.

Join us for the second annual CIA Sommelier Summit!
Randall Grahm will be presenting at the Tuesday, April 25th (10-11:15 a.m.)
Breakout Session:
Natural Wines: WTF? (What's the fuss?)
"What do women want?"
~ S. Freud
"Sometime a Cigare is just a Cigare."
~ R. Grahm (with apologies to S. Freud)
"I mean, to put it crudely," he was saying, "the thing you could say (Flaubert) lacks is testicularity. Know what I mean?"
"…Lacks what?" Franny said….
…He hesitated. "Masculinity," he said.
"I heard you the first time."
~ J.D. Salinger, "Franny and Zooey"
"I woke up this mornin', my baby mighty mad.
Cause the lead in my pencil, it's done gone bad
Lead in my pencil, baby its done gone bad
And that's the worst old feelin' that I've ever had."
~ Johnny "Geechie" Temple, "Lead Pencil Blues"
"There's a man in the house."
~ Harlan Miller
My friend Amy recently told me, "Randall, you're really missing the boat." "Of course I am," I told her. "The nautical conveyance and I haven't been, shall we say, intimate for quite some time." "No, you're missing a great business opportunity." "And, what pray tell, Amy, might that be?" "You make chick wine," she said. "You should be marketing your wine to women."
The technical difficulty of figuring out precisely how one might market one's wine to women and the discipline in doing so notwithstanding, I was intrigued by what she was saying. It felt that she was perhaps on to something and I wanted to better understand what she meant. "Amy, assuming that what you say is correct, why do you imagine my wine is appealing to women?" I asked.
"For one thing, it's soft, doesn't have a lot of harsh, aggressive tannin, and the alcohol isn't over-the-top. The highly concentrated, punch-you-in-the-face "statement" wines are very difficult for a lot of women. We just can't deal with that much alcohol, that much structure. And your wines have a story – they're about something. The labels are funny, non-threatening and beautiful, with a lot of attention paid to detail. Women like details."
It seemed that certainly what she was saying about "chick wines" was true on a number of levels. The first thing I thought about was the whole notion of "trophy wines" – wines that are considered desirable in virtue of their great rarity, and whether they might somehow be akin to "trophy wives." Both species tended to be very expensive, flashy, and with a number of obvious if somewhat superficial charms. (Non-trophy winemakers and non-trophy wives might well want to scratch out the eyes/pull out blonde hair by the dark roots of their opposing numbers.) One thing seemed certain. I didn't imagine that women would likely buy a particular wine to impress other women; they might buy it because they liked the label or more likely because they were intrigued by the label and having tried the bottle once, rather liked the wine. There was certainly a lot more of a question of status, establishment of pecking order and demonstration of competence involved in a man's decision to purchase one particular wine over another. It seemed to me that wine – whether it be its tannic structure or its usefulness as a fungible asset and investment vehicle, was for men, something that needed to be managed and mastered.
I have sometimes jocularly remarked about Le Cigare Volant, our flagship wine, that it differs considerably from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the southern French wine on which it is modeled, in that, being produced in Santa Cruz, where men are more in touch with their feelings, with their feminine side, it is decidedly kinder and gentler than its somewhat rustic, more broad-shouldered Gallic counterpart. You don't have to go out and slay a large beast, drag it back to your lair and roast it on an open hearth to make an appropriate pairing with the wine.1 And while Cigare differs from Châteauneuf, it is also, broadly speaking, quite a bit different from many if not most of its New World confrères. Our wines tend to be higher in acidity, lower in alcohol and tannin than those of many "serious" New World wineries.2 While the proposition of more elegant, presumably food-friendlier wines is intellectually quite interesting, I think that it is also a bit confusing to a lot of wine writers and tasters. One way to think of our wines is that they are a bridge between New World and Old World. I suppose the question might be: Is the bridge leading anywhere or is it just a bridge out over the abyss?
I believe that the style of our wines tells only part of the story as to why they are (if they are) putatively attractive to women. Without getting too New Agey about it, I find that our wines are somehow more "sensitive" to their surroundings,3 more mutable, subject to greater changeability, based on the climate, both meteorological and emotional.4 They are wines not immediately accessible to the imbiber at first sip – they are typically quite closed up at first approach, and demand some patience and understanding. But once they begin to emerge from their shell, they are ready to engage in a long and meandering conversation with the food. In short, they are chick wines.5
Now, here is where I think it gets interesting, at least to me. If my wines are particularly interesting to women, might the converse be true, i.e. might they on some level be not so interesting to men? Lately I have been getting a fair amount of press, partially from the new book and partially due to my rather vocal and public plans to produce a vin de terroir, a wine intended to express a sense of place, from a new vineyard site, as yet to be planted. I am, of course, very pleased to have garnered so much public attention,6 but what has me a bit vexed is that while some very astute writers are quite willing to vigorously cheer me on in the pursuit of this new vineyard in its audacious aspiration, with but a few exceptions, they seem to be rather less convinced about the brilliance and uniqueness of our current line-up (especially the reds).7 They just can't quite "get" the wines, are not quite ready to thoroughly embrace what I am proffering as an aesthetic; I suspect that they are troubled by the fact that the wines are to them, somehow neither fish nor fowl.89 Maybe there is too great a disparity between my protestations of esteem for "somewhereness" and the nowhereness (or geographical indeterminacy) of the current line-up that just bugs them.10 Maybe it's the hubristic grandiosity of my project – the creation of a vin de terroir – and instinctively, not wishing to become disappointed themselves, they are being a bit harsh on the wines in the hopes that I will try just that much harder to attain this worthiest ideal.11
Perhaps a less convoluted explanation is indicated. Maybe in some of my wines the standard signifiers of "quality," if not missing, are at least perhaps a bit occluded.12 What actually is "quality" in a New World wine? I think that one would be hard pressed to insist that it is authenticity or trueness to its Platonic essence, because likely there is no such Platonic essence, especially if the wine does not come from a singular vineyard, and that vineyard is not farmed in such a way to optimally express its unique character. I believe that all of us hold some sort of template in our brains as far as what constitutes "quality" and what provokes our interest in a particular wine; likely we respond to wine in ways analogous to other sensual stimuli. Perhaps wine affects us a bit like music does, though its balance and logic does not have the same kind of temporal sequencing. With wine the elements are initially apprehended all at once in a sort of trumpet blast and then slowly, almost imperceptibly they shape-shift and unfold with time. Most people, at least us Westerners, are attuned to tonal music, with a recognizable structure and a predictable, inevitable logic; there is satisfaction and resolution when the melody returns to the tonic, a harmonic resonance of a few key elements. In wine maybe these elements are wood, fruit, tannin and minerals (though nobody really knows what this last category really means). Withal, I would suggest that these flavor elements cannot simply be present but they need to be organized in such a way that suggests that they represent something. Put another way, in a vin de terroir, the unique qualities of the site are driving the bus, in a vin d'effort, a winemaker with a strong stylistic vision is driving the bus. But somebody's driving. And that there are some strong scenic elements on the way to observe: "Look, there's that Russian River cherry fruit!" the helpful wine-guide/critic points out.
Critics – wine critics, movie or art critics – are always looking for some sort of explanatory hook, revelatory lens, if you will, to explain to themselves and readership what is most interesting and worthy of approbation. It can be the relatively obvious tic – the eucalyptus note found in older Heitz' Martha's Vineyard Cabs, the soft structure and caramel/vanilla of the early Silver Oaks, the iodine of La Mission Haut-Brion, the pencil lead of Latour, but there is something that tells us that this wine is different, and maybe, by extension, that there is A Plan of some sort. I'm not sure whether it has been my lack of imagination or maybe lack of will to make a wine that makes a strong statement. It is hard to think of "Balance!" "Elegance!" "Harmony!" as incendiary, revolutionary slogans that one shouts, or more accurately, murmurs at the ramparts.13 It seems that all too often, absent a strong organizing thema of a wine, (pre-understood by the taster/critic), it is tactile imminence/presence on the palate that is the default measure of quality. Meandering, elegant wines that change and evolve, and whose qualities take time to emerge, maybe are not so convincing.
I am left to conclude that in the New World we are still frontiersmen, that we must hew our way, leave an indelible trace, if we are to be taken at all seriously. Perhaps at the end of the day, in virtually every arena, including wine criticism, there is something like an implicit contest of wills, at least between men. Male wine critics and perhaps testosterone-infused female ones, are always gauging the power, the will of the winemaker, trying to divine the measure of his (or her) intention, and how well that intention has been met in the final product. I have spoken my piece in rather measured and modulated tones; perhaps it will be necessary to come down an octave or two.

This post was mentioned on Twitter by RandallGrahm: New post on #beendoonsolong website, "Chick Vit or What Do Women Want (In Their Wine) http://bit.ly/6SLAMx…
As a member of the female sex and a big fan of the Doon wines, I guess I'm qualified to comment, tho I don't think I'd have the hubris to say that my comments applied to all of my sex. I've loved the Doon wines not for their softness (sorry, softness isn't something I generally look for, being a fan of punk rock and kentucky whiskey) or their labels (beautiful as they are). What I enjoy is the creativity and inventiveness. Traditional structured wines are great, but I'm a lover of the new, and a big believer in nothing ventured nothing gained; and one thing that has been true of the Doon wines is that there's rarely one that is like another – they all have something different to say, even if they don't scream it in a traditionally structured way. (I do agree about one thing –that I rarely buy wine to impress others, unless by impress you mean get them to say "Wow, thats really good!")
Thanks so much for your comment, and sorry to be unconscionably late in responding. Yeah, the BDV wines are or at least have been maybe more than a little eclectic, and this has been perhaps both a blessing and a curse. Maybe some customers are looking for more consistency in style, or even some of the more traditional signposts of "quality." But it is very important to me that we continue to experiment and really try to find something that gives us some unique results. Of course the winemaking end of things is ultimately the most trivial aspect of the process – you really have to begin in the vineyard. If it wasn't raining so hard, that's where I would be this a.m.
"Chick wine" is a somewhat disparaging term, and some (cue certain howling feminists) might reject the notion's legitimacy. But I do think aesthetic experience is gendered, that women and men have different physiological responses to signals entering their sensoria, and that culture (values, ideas about who we are, the "normativity engine") drives us to interpret these differently. The character we ascribe to a wine is based on who we are, and who we are is partly based on our gender, which is a mashup of our biological constitution and our cultural inheritance. Hence, chick wine, despite the flipness of the term, is a legitimate idea, worth pursuing.
Now, an interesting challenges is to clarify to what extent such femininity is extrinsic—in the eye (mouth) of the imbiber—and to what extent it's inherent in the wine itself. Some wines present outward qualities that make them attractive to women, that make women able to identify with them; they're softer, more integrated, more food-friendly, tell stories, have clever labels, play well with others, etc. These wines have a kind of extrinsic femininity, and this is more or less the definition of chick wine your friend Amy uses. The wine is "feminine."
But you clearly also believe that a wine can have a persona, have its own inherent qualities—a life force, an approach toward a Platonic ideal, "somebody driving." Perhaps your wine is strongly feminine, or perhaps it's somewhat betwixt: a strong feminine core—lower alcohol and tannin, higher acid, sensitive to the environment—with some masculine attributes—umami, deep strength. But let's say that a wine might have intrinsic femininity; the wine is therefore somewhat "female."
This feminine/female distinction is subtle, and these two vectors aren't exclusive. A "female wine," one with feminine life force, would most likely present as feminine, a chick wine. But the opposite isn't necessarily true. A twelve dollar bottle of mass-market Merlot with a fuzzy critter label might present as feminine, but might not have anything like a feminine core, might not, in fact, connect with the imbiber on any deep level at all.
Now it gets interesting. A wine with an intrinsic core becomes a character in the drama, and the dialogue between wine and consumer suddenly gets much more complex. Identification with or "relating to" the wine isn't always the goal. A woman might sometimes crave an inherently powerful, structured, dynamic wine, while a man might be drawn to gentle nuance. And the dialogue itself can get kind of gender-bent. The sexiest wines I've ever had weren't masculine at all, they were feminine: lithe, elusive, coy, slowly yielding, flowering, subsiding, then… haunting.
The press does seem to value a more masculine style, and don't place high value on "chick wine," so if you make chick wine, you'll be dismissed as unserious. Maybe you should go straight to those who are more predisposed by virtue of their gender, and though there's no guarantee women will like feminine wine, the women's direct-to-consumer market might hold some promise. But I think it's not the full solution, because it feels like an over-simplistic answer to a complex and nuanced problem, and means you have forfeited some degree of your wine's rightful claim to broader relevancy and appeal.
A frontiersman's contest of wills, where you shout about your wine's tender attributes, feels ironic and a little silly, like caving to machismo. But I think it's actually likely to have some success over time, since accepting and adopting the terms of the dominant discourse means greater likelihood of actually getting heard.
I guess I don't—or refuse to—think of your your wine is chick wine, even though it sometimes dresses that way, and even though (some of) it has a female center. Your wines—and those of other likemindeds—are far more complex than that simple gloss. They offer us intense and vivid experiences we can't get any other way, and overall I'd love to see us moving toward a more nuanced interpretation of these experiences, to an appreciation of what you call "meandering elegance" (love that).
I value what you and others are already doing to educate consumers and the press, and to elevate the discourse so that wines of subtlety become more highly regarded. I think it's maybe starting to have some effect, though likely not fast enough to have an effect on the immediate bottom line. Not everyone will get it, but some will, and in the end I doubt gender is the predominant factor in "getting it." I think it has more to do with one's comfort with ambiguity, acceptance of incertitude, and receptivity to astonishment and wonder. If you can find people like that, they will love the wine.
Meg, my dear. Apologies for the potential offensiveness of the term "chick vit," but I was of course spoofing on "chick lit," and I absolutely cannot let a good pun go, which is of course my own OCD cross to bear.
It is interesting that you would characterize "umami" or savoriness as a more or less masculine characteristic of wine. i think that I might identify it as a more feminine characteristic – found in a wine that tries to integrate, blend or engage in a dialogue with food, rather than seek to dominate it. Women do seem to be a bit more clever than men in trying to find potential opportunities to link with the world.
I take your point on the distinction between feminine and female in a wine and would like to suggest that in some instances (though not always) this distinction arises from the dichotomy between vins d'effort and vins de terroir. A wine of effort is a stylized wine and therefore its qualities might be thought of as being perhaps more extrinsic than the deeper qualities found in a vin de terroir. I would suggest that in fact all vins de terroir, even the ones we think of as being the most "masculine" – think Paulliac with its firm astringent tannins or Cornas with its hard mineral edge – have a deeply feminine quality to them, a seductive, ever-changing, revealing/hiding aspect that draws us to them – haunting is the word that you use.
A propos of nothing, if you are ever given the opportunity to try a Musigny, esp. from de Vogüé, you should seize upon it. It is truly the most feminine and mysterious wine that has ever been fashioned. And of course beneath the "soft," beguiling, wildly fragrant surface aspect lies a core of strength that descends right to the center of the earth.
I am in agreement that the vocabulary of gender might not be the most productive in truly conveying a wine's essence. But I think it is incredibly useful to think of the wine tasting experience as a dialogue, and we bring all of ourselves to this dialogue – our sexuality, our history, our understandings and misunderstandings about the world. Maybe it's time to dust off the Martin Buber text from the Philosophy survey class that we haven't thought about in ages.
I am not sure about the future of wine criticism or wine writing, but I think that it is always useful to think about the tools that expand our experience and consciousness, that make us more complete human beings. I sincerely believe that wine (like sexuality) can be something like a holy sacrament that brings us to a more rarified, ecstatic realm of experience. I'm going out now in the driving rain – maybe the universe is telling me that I need to take a cold shower.
I must respectfully disagree with your friend Amy regarding marketing wine to women. For one thing, the current generation has overwhelmingly been reared in gender equal homes so the notion of something being specifically "for" the male or female seem odd. For another thing, hasn't this already been done recently and flopped? I'm trying to remember, but I think it was Beringer or another large white zin conglomerate. I'll look it up and get back to you. (Too bad we can't add footnotes to comments, btw:-)
Agreed that it would be a singularly bad idea to spend a lot of money marketing wine to a particular gender. (For one thing we don't have a lot of money to market to anyone of any gender.) But I think that it is always interesting to have some sense of who your customers or potential customers might be. But, agreed, whenever there is even the remotest whiff of pandering, it is a big turn-off.
This harkens back to an article I wrote in Mutineer Magazine about target marketing, though obviously that's not the bottom line of this post. The sad truth about marketing targeting women, gays, etc. is that as insulting as it may be to many, there are plenty of others who actually like and are drawn to a cute little black dress on their wine bottle label for instance.
Marketing aspect aside, I'm not sure the dichotomy that exists in what men drink and what women drink is quite so clear cut—there's a gaping split on the men as far as I'm concerned. While I will give you that most women are not drinking the high-octane wines that line our store shelves, men are not exclusively flocking to them either. There are two camps of men wine drinkers from what experience has shown me: those that chase the steroid-like trophy wines and those that could give a shit about muscle and instead prefer the soft curvature and subtlety of a wine that doesn't knock you on your ass. Hell, those men even pick up a glass of (gasp) white wine in public once in a while.
Either way, to purposely direct your wine to a certain consumer group is certainly, as Meg said, to forfeit "some degree of your wine's rightful claim to broader relevancy and appeal." Why point a laser when you can cast a flood lamp?
[…] The same thing men want? […]
Per footnote 13. A 'rampart' is any wall that keeps an enemy out. It is usually plural because no real defense is possible if the enemy may just do an end around. The Maginot Line is a good example. There is, of course, the Great Wall of China but it, too, was routinely breached (owning largely to the madness of the project and the determination of China's enemies). So it is that defensive structures are closed, sealed all around. Like a castle, or an ego. Now, the idea of a rampart is easily transposable to other cultural registers. Take fashion. Obviously gendered, women's clothing is often a play of gaps and openings, while men's fashion is all about total concealment. The former plays hide and seek with a real body, however 'cut up', and the latter masks a body behind a uniform image (pun intended). Women's fashion promises more. Men's fashion performs the absence of carnal mystery. One hints that the ramparts may be breached, the other pulls up the gate.
So the first thing I would ask about whether wines might be gendered is how do you arrest the slippage? I mean, how do you stop 'gendering' from impregnating the entirety of wine culture? From the flowery label, to the aggressive tannins, from the barrel filled with juice, to a stuck fermentation, from a cork forcefully inserted, to a prophylactic screw-cap, does the gendered imagination ever tire? Perhaps it doesn't, perhaps it won't. It certainly hasn't.
What do women want (their wine in)? A clean glass. Blind tastings, anyone?
The question, Ken, is why would you want to arrest the "slippage." If you are a pantheist and devotée of the magnificent Norman O. Brown – I was fortunate enough to know him a bit – you would know that sexuality/life-force/divine madness imbues all things. This force cannot be constrained; when repressed, it erupts somewhere else unexpectedly. The best one might help to do is hang on for the extraordinary ride, as it were. This is mete and good.
Hi, Randall. Yes, I knew NOB. I attended an infuriating Heidegger class with his tweedy self at the helm. I was also one of the more interesting hecklers at his James Joyce Wake, an all night reading. Were you there? I even wandered the campus woods with him, though not in search of magic mushrooms. (We were not that close!) Norman's great talent as a teacher was to hook the student into Norman's own personal passion play. Skilled at transference games, he muddled many a student's head; he well understood the eros of teaching generally. In many instances, he effectively crippled their ability to think independently. They always needed the master.
And this hints at what I'm getting at with the phrase 'arresting the slippage'. It is well know that psychoanalysis proposes that desire is structured as a 'lack'. When the baby boy is finally severed from his originary continuity with the mother's body by the father's phallus, two things happen simultaneously. One, the boy spends the rest of his days trying to reunite with mama (which is primordially his 'proper' body), and two, as a freshly formed 'self' he must mediate or translate this desire (for what he cannot not possess) through the agency of the father, which is, in Lacan's magnificent rereading of Freud, language itself, rooted, as you might guess, in the father's possession, his ownership, of the only phallus that matters. So the baby boy must learn to ask for what he cannot have with a language he does not 'own'. Language is a haunting, alienating agency, not the road to a cure. And this, btw, is why analysis is said to be interminable. Speech does not fill the hole in a troubled soul. It is the hole itself. All of this is to say that desire, in the psychoanalytic schema, is born of a lack. However much we speak, however much we wander the world, however many our loves, all of our efforts, all of our 'desires' are driven but this structured lack, by this lifelong search for the primordial missing part of our body that language, the father's phallus, itself creates. Every subject/object of our desire is but more slippage. Life is an endless series of ideational substitutions for what cannot exist, the search for a place that is 'nowhere'.
And the situation with the baby girl is an even more grim and fatalistic scenario. Indeed, the shadow of Freud haunting your essay does not really get at his truly monstrous intellectual rigor. It is not for nothing that generations of women have fought hard to out-think both he and his most brilliant student, Lacan, to find a pleasure that is not phallocentric. And to that point, frankly, NOB's notion of 'polymorphous perversity' was mere diddling with the massive Freudian prick. We both know that it was just a line to pick up girls. The promise of sexual equality by us cool dudes was a ruse, a mask, yet another trick of seduction. And NOB knew that game well.
So, no. I am not a pantheist. I am most certainly not a NOB devotée. That 'sexuality/life-force/divine madness' can be seen as conceptually isomorphic would funny to me were it not so historically tragic, certainly if read through the prism of Freud and Lacan. NOB's last talks and work, pagan in the main, spoke of the need for the world to be cleansed by fire. You will be hard pressed to find a more perfect illustration of the return of the repressed. Mother Earth, I am coming home.
Been Doon So Long is a very fine book, by the way.
[…] What Do Women Want. I've been having a bit of a Women's Studies moment lately (the bonehead naming of the iPad must have set me off) and I enjoyed this piece from Randall Grahm of Bonny Doon on marketing wine to women — and what might make his wines particularly interesting to the fairer sex. Not sure I buy all of it, but there's some interesting stuff here for sure. […]
Tremendous insight! This is an old style colloquey smack down…I am not in the category of a highly sophisticated wine drinker, but I do appreciate your quest toward a deeper understanding of the process and current landscape: the discussion of tricking up wines vs. working with natures gifts, the everpresent battle between the authentic and the conjured notions of brand magicians. Cheers to you, you old bastard up on the hill…
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I'll definitely be back.
Thanks so much for your post and for your kind words. There were some interesting ideas in the post, to be sure, but maybe it just ranged a bit too far afield. At some point, it might be interesting to rework it and perhaps make it a bit more focused. Please continue to read the blog; I promise to be a lot more regular in my posting.
Join us for the second annual CIA Sommelier Summit!
Randall Grahm will be presenting at the Tuesday, April 25th (10-11:15 a.m.)

I just happened upon this "interesting" story today for the first time. As inflammatory as it is, I laughed out loud. First of all, I don't have any customers in that city or state. Secondly, there is no stated "case" for what I did or didn't do...just random ranting and raving.It took my daughter to bring to my attention of who the culprit of this ficticious report really is - a very dishonest used car salesman whom we had a very unpleasant experience - the end.

I don't know about you, but at our house everything goes dark at bedtime. I'm pretty good about turning the lights off, but my wife pulls the plug on everything that can connect to the power grid so that we can save on the last possible cent before it dribbles away into the power company's coffers.
Power IT Down Day is an attempt by a group of companies to convince the government IT universe to do the same. Despite all the push for green IT, apparently agencies are still pretty wasteful with their power consumption.
There have been mandates for agencies to reduce their energy use, there's a goal to cut government energy use and emissions by 28 percent by 2020, and the Obama Administration earlier this year launched its GreenGov Challenge. Given that the federal government accounts for around 1.5 percent of the total U.S. annual energy consumption, and is the largest user, just a little savings could add up to a lot of green.
The trouble is getting this message down into the trenches, or in this case down to the regular government employee at his or her desk or workplace. It doesn't matter what the muckety-mucks in the White House or on the upper floors at agency headquarters dream up: If those employees aren't convinced to turn their computers, printers or other devices off when they leave at night, then it's just talk.
Most of the efforts around green IT have so far centered around the data center and other large energy users. But the largest user population, those everyday government grunts, probably have the greatest effect on energy consumption but haven't been the focus of anything much. Hence, Power IT Down Day.
This is the third of the annual Power IT Down Days, which this year is happening on Aug. 27. The number of participants last year doubled from that of the initial event to 5,600 and achieved a total energy savings of around 73,000 kWh. The Wounded Warrior Project got $45,000 as a result.
This year, the event's sponsors -- Citrix, Intel, Hewlett Packard and GTSI -- have a goal of getting 6,100 people to participate and, given that Aug. 27 is the first day of a weekend, save a total of 335,000 kWh of energy. That's around $45,000 in hard dollar savings. And the Wounded Warrior Project gets another donation.
For the goals of the sponsor's corporate citizenship, the intent is to be positive. Get people to sign up at the Power IT Down website to participate and, broadly, show government what the ROI is on better managing this every day power drain.
Here's a more devious idea. On Aug. 27, get someone to drive around town with some kind of luminosity meter. I'm sure some bright spark can invent that in time. See which agency comes out as the best saver, and which the worst. The winner gets a shiny gold star it can put onto its Web home page proclaiming it the government energy champion, while the loser has to pay the winner's energy bill for that weekend.
Who do you think will be the winner and the loser? Leave us a comment.

The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
I work for the Forest Service and we also get security and software updates at night. We have been told over and over that as long as our computers are hooked into the FS network, we will get the updates, but there are still people at the office who believe their pcs must be turned on. I turn off my computer every night and I have never missed an update yet. In the past, we did have to leave our machines on. No more. Those of you who think you need to leave them on might want to check with your IT folks to make sure this is still the case.
I am a federal worker. We are required to leave our computers on when we leave because application updates/system upgrades are performed in batch jobs on nights and weekends. It would negatively impact productivity to perform these updates during working hours, which would cost significantly more than energy savings. I suppose if IT could communicate which nights and weekends they plan to make updates, then we could power off when nothing is scheduled, but this kind of night-by-night power-off determination would be difficult to manage across an entire workforce.
We've tried. We've printed out the various Executive Orders and DoD regs, and provided them to management. They Don't Care. They say the PCs HAVE to be left on to do scans and pushes. Blame the manufacturers for making things so power-hungry even in 'sleep' mode. Most around here don't even bother to switch off monitors and printers.
Actually, we have been told not to shut down our computers at night so that security updates can be applied. If the computer is off, the security update will not be received. Although arrangements could be made to only leave computers on when updates are pushed, no one has tried to coordinate that to save energy.
Brian, great story except for one challenge - many federal agencies (both in federal building and commercial leases) do not have a direct energy bill and always pay a flat rate for rent and utilities (water, electric); meaning the agency can turn off all their computers, printers, etc., for an entire month and the agency still pays the same bill. Although less energy is used, the only immediate benefit is the profit margin of the leasor.

LED Lighting Retrofit to Save Hawaii Hospitals $1.2M
Hawai'i Pacific Health (HPH), comprised of four nonprofit hospitals and 44 outpatient clinics and service sites, expects to save more than $1.2 million thanks to a LED lighting retrofit across its facilities.
The switch to LED lighting at its four hospital facilities also will help reduce HPH's carbon emissions by 465,324.65 pounds per year from just the parking garages alone, according to Pacific Eco-Lights, which is supplying the LED lighting.
HPH expects to recover the cost of the conversion through energy bill savings in 15 months due to Eco-Light's Seesmart LED technology, which is said to use 50 percent to 90 percent less electricity than a standard light bulb or compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL). Other benefits include longer life and no hazardous wastes such as mercury and lead, which are found in CFLs.
By retrofitting existing fixtures with LEDs, HPH is projected to save up to $10,000 to $12,000 per month from the conversion of just one of its parking garage facilities, which will translate into $1.2 million in combined annual savings by retrofitting hallways, waiting areas, cafeterias and offices throughout its four hospitals.
Pacific Eco-Lights says it offers city municipalities and companies financing, such as leasing with maintenance, installation and extended warranty agreements to make switching to LED lighting easier.
New York hospitals are also looking to cut their energy costs and improve energy efficiency. As an example, a $10 million grant program is aimed at helping as many as 100 New York hospitals increase their energy efficiency, reports The Buffalo News. The target is to reduce energy use by 20 percent at each of the hospitals.
National Grid, the area's primary electric utility, and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), launched the Energy Efficiency for Health grant program at Buffalo General Hospital.
NYSERDA told the newspaper that the program will help New York meet its goal of getting 45 percent of its energy needs from renewable sources and efficiency by 2015.
New York's 45×15 initiative set a goal for the state to meet 45 percent of its electricity needs through improved energy efficiency and renewable sources by 2015.

Wow, that's a lot of money to save just by changing the lights. I think LED lighting is wonderful. It's environmentally friendly and they last about 40 times longer than incandescent lights, offer a high level of brightness and have excellent color rendering. I work with Sharp and I wish everyone would change to LEDs. They are the best lighting.
Each year in the United States buildings use $200 billion worth of electricity and natural gas. If the energy efficiency of U.S. buildings improved by 10%, Americans would save about $20 billion and reduce greenhouse gases equal to the emissions from about 30 million vehicles. Here are some ways you can reduce the environmental impact where you work…

Conason: Raising Medicare age won't save money but will cost lives
By JOE CONASON
Creators Syndicate
Raising taxes on the rich alone won't close the deficit or erase the national debt, as Republicans superciliously inform us over and over again. But in their negotiations with the White House to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, congressional Republicans seem obsessed with a change in Medicare eligibility whose budgetary impact (when compared with ending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy) is truly negligible — but whose human toll would be immense.
That Republican imperative is to raise the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67.
Why do Speaker John Boehner and the Republican majority in the House so badly want to put Medicare out of reach of elders younger than 67? It will be costly to their most loyal voting constituency among older whites.
And it won't save much money, according to the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation's latest study — which shows that the estimated $148 billion in savings over 10 years is largely offset by increased insurance costs, lost premiums and higher subsidies that will be paid as a consequence.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities offers an even more stringent analysis, which shows that raising the eligibility age in fact will result in total costs higher than the putative federal savings — which amount to around $50 billion over 10 years. Contrast that with the savings achieved by ending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, which amounts to well over $1 trillion during the same period — and it becomes clear which party wants to reduce deficits.
Assuming that the savings are mostly mythical, the only sensible assumption is that Republican politicians and financiers simply hate Medicare, a highly successful and popular federal program that the right has been trying to destroy, with one tactic or another, ever since its establishment in 1965.
They don't really care whether their alleged solutions save money or improve efficiency. They want a privately-funded medical system that preserves profits rather than a system that improves and expands health care, as Medicare has done for almost half a century.
What the Republicans evidently desire most in their "reform" crusade is to exacerbate inequality among the elderly — because that is the only assured outcome of their plans.
The impact of raising the Medicare eligibility age by two years will fall most heavily upon older African-American and other minorities, as they are still known. The projected damage is summarized clearly in a chart posted on Monday by Sarah Kliff at the Washington Post's Wonkblog. The number of uninsured among the elderly will be increased for all groups, but the greatest increase will be among minorities, who will also become more likely to postpone medical care because they lack coverage. The net effect of those changes, to project from what we already know about people who lack of insurance and postpone care, will be earlier deaths and much suffering.
Even more broadly, delaying eligibility is a direct assault on the standard of living of working-class Americans, especially those who have earned their way through physical labor. By age 65, people who have spent decades engaged in hard physical work — such as firefighters, nurses or other first responders, to consider the most obvious examples — are ready to stop working. Medicare is a critical element of their ability to retire, but Washington elites, especially on the right, are obtusely unsympathetic to their conditions.
It is up to the Democrats in Washington, especially President Obama, to protect Americans from such policy proposals, which are economically idiotic and socially inhumane. For there is one objective that the Republicans would certainly achieve if they induce the president to accept, or worse, propose, any such plan: They will discredit his second term before it has begun.

Our repair wasn't covered by insurance, so AMM helped us to get where we needed to be within our tight budget. They came in with an estimate that was 3/4 the price of the other estimates and ended up being even less expensive. Their workmanship was solid and they were friendly and got the job done early. Can't say enough good things about this business.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR AT THIS LOCATION. Our car was broken into -- window smashed and items stolen. Normally one can't blame Budget for others' behavior, but the Budget employee admitted they'd had "five break-ins this week." If you've had that many break-ins in one week, it's a pattern. You have a responsibility to warn customers of the risks, hire a security guard -- something. They did nothing.

My parents were essential in applying for financial aid. It was a lot of work, but we got so much financial support that it made going to USC cheaper than everywhere else I applied to.
Campus Housing:
I loved my dorm my freshman year. It was very nice, spacious, had air condition, refrigerator, and microwave. Also the first floor had a pingpong table, pool table, 2 music rooms with pianos, and plenty of study hall spaces. I was not very social with my suite mates because I was gone for welcome/move-in week due to band camp, and throughout the rest of the year I was always out studying, or playing sports. My dorm was everything I needed and became a home for me.
This school seems very invested in sport activity, so there very good facilities also.
Off-Campus Housing:
They are many options, but it's really costly.
Party Scene:
Roamers are that they are many parties on row, but I never attend. There is huge concern over safety, making it difficult to have fun in general. Unless you are willing to spend money and time for nightlife in west LA, around campus there are not many options.

There are many options in Los Angeles for dining, I never had any feeling of shortcoming.
Parking is hassle. Also when you call public safety, it's like there has to be a actual crime, other than that they will not help you much.
Campus Housing:
The dorm that I lived was old and was not comfortable at all. The gym was in small room in parking, and with bad smell. The heating system constantly need maintenance. The room was painted with bizarre brown color. Overall. It was awful.
Off-Campus Dining:
I like that the restaurants are within walking distance from the school.
I got an amount that was helpful but it wasn't as much as I would have liked. But it was still enough to allow me to go to the school, and I'm very grateful for that.
Party Scene:
The party scene is quite prevalent, but you aren't forced to join it. People respect if you party or not which is great.
They really endorse being safe when intoxicated.
Campus Food:
I liked the variety. And even the worst options were still good.
Campus Housing:
I had so much fun and met so many people and made a lot of great friends. It was also nice to be right next to a dining hall.
Greek Life:
I really appreciated greek life at USC. Being a member of a sorority has allowed me to make a big school feel smaller by becoming part of the greek community. Although I do not feel that greek life is all-consuming (I have friends outside of greek life), it definitely provides a great community atmosphere which I love. I am not a typical sorority girl and was skeptical of rushing at USC because I thought it would be a bunch of superficial southern Californians. I was surprised by the geographic diversity and devotion to academics & community service that I found in greek life. The all-row average GPA is consistently higher than the all-USC undergraduate average GPA.
Off-Campus Housing:
Off-campus housing options include apartments, greek housing, non-USC-owned houses, and off-campus USC-owned apartments. I have friends who live in all of these kinds of housing and they all enjoy it. The easiest and safest options are apartment buildings (West 27th, Gateway & the Lorenzo) and off-campus USC-owned housing. My friends who have lived in these kinds of housing have found it very easy and convenient. I live in a sorority house which I also love!
Party Scene:
Parties at USC are very fun. Regardless of how fun the parties are, I have found that a night out is always dependent on who you I am with. I love parties on the row because I am always running into friends (greek and non-greek), however frat parties are fairly exclusive to male students that are not in that fraternity.
Off-Campus Dining:
In walking distance to campus are several dining options, categorized below as fast food, cheap full-meal options and further off-campus restaurants (car or bus). Overall, I never get bored and enjoy a variety of inexpensive food options! 1) Fast Food: Panda Express, McDonalds, Five Guys, Dominos2) Cheap Meal Options: Subway, Jimmy Johns, Blaze Pizza, Which Wich, Pizza Studio, Starbucks, Built Burger, Soy (sushi), Leno juice bar (acai bowls and smoothies) 3) Further off-campus destinations (relatively close proximity): LA Live (Smash Burger, Yardhouse, Rock and Fish, Wolfgang Puck, Katsuya sushi), Urth cafe, Boutega Louie, Sugarfish, Wakeno, etc.
USC campus strictness definitely helps to make students feel safe on campus despite its urban setting and location. Although I do not think that USC is an extremely strict campus overall, USC is very strict in regards to policies that protect student safety. For example, no one can enter the campus after 9pm without showing their USC ID card. Also, in order to go upstairs in any on-campus dorm, students must quickly fingerprint in order to verify that they live there. Other students or visitors who do not live in that dorm must sign in with a student who lives there by giving their ID at the front desk and retrieving it again when they leave. Because of these strictly regulated policies, I was never worried about feeling unsafe on campus or in my dorm.
Although I do not personally have a scholarship, many of my friends do.
Campus Food:
There is a huge variety of food options on campus. The three traditional dining halls are great but can get monotonous if you constantly eat at just one. With unlimited swipes at the dining halls, it is easy to mix it up by going to different dining halls. The Campus Center offers lots of yummy options as well, from Lemonade to Seeds to Panda Express to CPK to Nektar juice bar, which dining dollars can be used for! I loved having dining dollars so that I never got bored.
Campus Housing:
I loved living on campus as a freshman. The fact that mostly underclassmen choose to live in the on-campus dorms makes it more of a tight-knit community for those who live there. I constantly ran into friends and classmates in the dining halls and around my dorm, which helped me to make the big student body at USC seem a lot smaller. All of the dorms are very conveniently located and provide proximity to classes. I lived in New-North, which I highly recommend as it is a very social dorm.
Health & Safety:
I feel safe on campus.
Greek Life:
Greek life is awesome - great way to make connections.
Varsity athletics is everything - especially football season.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Students from Southern California usually love USC from the beginning and strengthen their bonds with the school as time passes. Students who travel to USC from longer distances tend to adapt more slowly, dealing at first with the culture shock that inevitably comes with a first impression of LA. Universally, those who can survive the transition into the USC way of life fall in love with the school after first semester. Typically, students entering school with a skeptical mind-set ends up getting the most pride out of being a Trojan. At the very least, they come away with a new affinity toward college football.
The opportunities on campus are plentiful, and in LA, opportunities are endless. Time flies for everyone at USC, and changes in living conditions, academic standards, and career goals come quicker than newcomers might expect. USC graduates are sure to look back on a college experience that could not have been offered anywhere else. Basically, the more that students are willing to explore the opportunities available to them, the more they endorse the idea that USC is the perfect school for its time and place.

NYPD Taps Philip Banks III as New Chief of Department
Hours after the retiring Chief of the New York Police Department, Joseph Esposito, walked out of his office at police headquarters for the last time on Wednesday, officials announced his successor would be Philip Banks III, the current Chief of Community Affairs.
Banks, a 26-year veteran of the force, will be officially promoted by Commissioner Raymond Kelly at a ceremony on Thursday, a news release said.
"Phil Banks has proven himself time and again to be as outstanding a field commander, adept in managing police personnel and operations, as he has a consummate builder of community relations whose robust School Safety and Juvenile Justice Divisions, as well as New-Immigrant Outreach and Crime Prevention programs, flourished under his command," Kelly said in the news release.
He had been the commanding officer of the community affairs bureau since 2010 and is a fixture at large protests and community gatherings.

He succeeds the hugely popular Esposito, who held the position of top uniformed officer for more than 12 years – a record. According the NYPD, Banks will become the 37th individual to hold the post, which prior to 1985 was known as the Chief of Operations and before 1973 as Chief Inspector.
Banks is a married father of three who lives in St. Albans, Queens. He became a police officer in 1986 and served as the commanding officer of Patrol Borough Manhattan North, 79th, 81st and Central Park Precincts. His father is a retired NYPD Lieutenant.
He has an undergraduate degree from Lincoln University and has completed police and management training at Columbia University and Harvard University, the NYPD said.

The Oklahoma Sooners and the Nebraska Cornhuskers may schedule a 2020 and 2021 home-and-home football series, USA Today has reported.
Discussions for the series are preliminary and are dependent on the future Big Ten conference scheduling format. Nebraska AD Tom Osborne said they "can't make a decision until we know if the Big Ten is going from eight conference games to nine."
Back in June, Nebraska announced that they were leaving the Big 12 and joining the Big Ten Conference for the 2011 season.
Nebraska and Oklahoma do not play each other in the 2010 regular season, but could meet in the Big 12 Championship game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. Both schools are currently undefeated and ranked in the Top 10 of the Coaches Poll (Nebraska #6, Oklahoma #7).
The Sooners lead the overall series against the Cornhuskers 44-38-3.
Football Schedules:
No Big 12 Team should play these losers in the future. Why should we entertain these guys after how they dumped the rest of the Big 12 North teams with the exception of Colorado. Let them keep playing Little Sister of the Poor type non conference teams. Our conference doesn't need to lower our standards to play a low class team like NB. Its a shame they use to be a real 1st class program. They sold out the Kansas teams and Iowa State Let them go.
Jim you have got it 100 percent correct. Jamie needs to get a life and look for a better team to follow than worthless Nebraska. Let's hope Bo Pelini accepts the Miami job, then Jamie could cheer for the Miami Hurric. as they move back to the top of the college ranks. Nebr. could re-hire Callahan as he had that program moving in the correct direction before he left.
Nah….its a great rivalry game and it should be played.
And as far as OOC games go…..Oklahoma has played its fair share of bad teams…..
Jim, get your facts straight. Six Big 12 schools were about to bolt to the Pac 10, leaving Kansas, Kansas St.,Baylor, Iowa St. AND Nebraska in the lurch. Don't believe me, just ask Larry Scott. Nebraska had no choice but to look out for themselves and go to the Big 10.
If you wish to do more research, you will find that in 1990, when Arkansas left the SWC, Oklahoma negotiated with the SWC to try to join that league. The negotiations fell through, but the seeds of the Big 12 was formed.
In five years, maybe less, Texas is going independent, OU and A&M will be in the SEC and selling out the poor Iowa States of the world.
hey i hope you know that we left because texas runs the damn conference. and OU is just as pissed as we are. they hate texas just as much as we do.
that was meant for Jim that classless loser.
Nebraska just crys about everything. In six years they will be crying because they cannot win more than seven games in a year and have not made it to the Big 10 Championship game. Where will they bolt to then? Maybe the MAC. They were looking for an excuse to get out of the Big 12 because they cannot beat the Texas teams. Good riddance to them and hope they lose most games in the Big 10. Let's hope Bo Pelini has enough sense to accept the Miami job and get out of Nebraska before the roof caves in on that program. Would be awesome to see those Corn Doggies or Huskies with 9 or ten losses a year!!!!
Nebraska goes from a conference they said didn't give them enough weight in decisions to one that doesn't even admit their existence within the name of the conference itself. Irony…
Let the pansies in Nebraska leave, they are tired of getting their ass whooped and handed to them year after year. They got nothing on OU or Texas so let them go to the sissy league. Do you guys at Nebraska knit sweaters before the games in the winter?
@#$! you

The Impact of Headquarter and Subsidiary Locations on Multinationals' Effective Tax Rates
Kevin S. Markle, Douglas A. Shackelford
Chapter in NBER book Tax Policy and the Economy, Volume 28 (2014), Jeffrey R. Brown, editor (p. 33 - 62)
We examine effective tax rates (ETRs) for 9,022 multinationals from 87 countries from 2006 to 2011. We find that, despite extensive investments in international tax avoidance, multinationals headquartered in Japan, the U.S., and some high-tax European countries continue to face substantially higher worldwide taxes than their counterparts in havens and other less heavily taxed locations. Other findings include: (a) Effective tax rates remained steady over the investigation period; (b) Entering a tax haven country for the first time results in a slight reduction in the firm's ETR; (c) ETR changes vary depending on whether the subsidiary is a financial conduit or an operating subsidiary. These results should aid ongoing international tax policy debates and expand scholars' understanding about the taxation of multinationals.This chapter is no longer available for free download, since the book has been published.

Steven Finn was the driving force as the tourists bowled their hosts out for 185. Even Brendon McCullum's (79) third successive half-century was unable to rescue a defendable total for New Zealand, after England skipper Alastair Cook had won the toss.
It seemed a foregone conclusion that England would make light work of their target, with Cook contributing 46 at the start. In the event they were not flattered by a five-wicket margin, and it was more instructive that they also had 12.3 overs to spare.
Finn's first of three wickets for 27 was his 50th in ODI cricket, and for good measure Graeme Swann was later to take his 100th - only the eighth Englishman to do so in this format. Finn began England's dominance by having BJ Watling caught by Swann at second slip.
Anderson struck with a length ball which held its line and had Kane Williamson edging behind on the back-foot defence. Hamish Rutherford, managed just two runs from 19 balls, eventually falling to Finn by edging to the wicketkeeper.
Ross Taylor and Grant Elliott dug in to attempt a recovery. But after a hard-working stand of 53 in 15 overs, their industry was squandered via a mix-up over a second run which left Elliott sent back and stranded mid-pitch.
When Taylor then became the third caught-behind departure of the innings, McCullum began the second recovery phase but batting partners came and went. James Franklin poked a catch back to a diving Swann, before McCullum's brother Nathan edged the returning Finn to slip at the start of the batting powerplay.
Finn had figures of 8-3-10-3 at that stage, but McCullum punctured his pride by clubbing him for two pulled fours and a six over long-off in successive balls in a ninth over which cost 17. McCullum was last out in only the 44th over when he tried to pull another maximum off Swann but was well held just inside the deep midwicket boundary by Anderson.
England's batsmen were never likely to be taken England out of a comfort zone with such a modest chase, and openers Cook and Ian Bell were soon making a mockery of their opposite numbers' troubles.
Bell mis-pulled Andrew Ellis to be caught at deep midwicket; there was a minor wobble when Jonathan Trott and then Cook both went caught-behind to loose shots in successive overs from Tim Southee (three for 49). Two late wickets jangled a few more nerves, but Eoin Morgan dominated his and Joe Root's 56-run stand to help settle the issue.

Oates had worked for the BBC for more than 25 years, but had recently left to work as a freelance radio journalist.
The BBC said his death had come following a short illness, though other sources reported it as the result of a virus.
Oates worked primarily on football and rugby league, and was a noted Blackpool fan.
He had less than a year ago been commentating on the FA Cup match in which Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba had suffered a near-fatal cardiac arrest.
"Everyone at BBC Radio Sport is in shock at this terrible news," said Richard Burgess, head of radio sport at the BBC. "David was a trusted and much-loved colleague who provided many years of loyal service to the BBC.
"His enthusiasm for commentating and reporting on football and rugby league was boundless - we will all remember with great affection his love of Blackpool FC in particular. To lose him at such a relatively young age is a tragedy."
Former footballer and now TalkSport radio host Stan Collymore added: "Sincere condolences to Lotty & Family at hearing the sad news of the death of David Oates.
"Worked with him many times, devastating news."
"So shocked that BBC friend & colleague David Oates has died," said Claire Balding. "He was a loveable Eeyore. Thinking of Lottie & the girls."
"Blackpool FC would like to pass on its condolences to the family of BBC 5 Live broadcaster David Oates. Big Pool fan, will be sorely missed."

I just made this this afternoon for my sister and me and it was delicious! It tasted just like the ones from Starbucks but cheaper and much less calories!! I am so glad I found this recipe and I will continue to use it from now on! ?
I just made this yesterday, followed recipe to the letter and it turned out amazing. Better than Starbucks I would say since it's not as sweet = not as much sugar & calories =)
I wanted a frozen coffee drink and this was it! It was thick like I wanted and had great flavor. The other recipes looked like they didn't have enough ice. This was perfect.

Field Neurosciences Institute Participating in International Research Trial
The research team at Field Neurosciences Institute (FNI) is participating in an international clinical research trial to investigate a new treatment for traumatic brain injuries. The study will test whether the hormone progesterone helps decrease brain swelling in patients.
The trial, SyNAPSe, is taking place in over 22 countries and is seeking to enroll 1,180 patients worldwide with severe traumatic brain injury.
