Further Follies:
Unh-uh. Tired platitudes and spurious anecdotes that suggest Fulghum may not have been kidding when he said he hadn't learned anything since kindergarten. (Villard)
A House of Secrets
The former First Daughter gives us a heroine with a dim-bulb dad and a Medea mom who destroys the heroine's purple poetry and wishes she, not her sister, had died. Actually makes you feel for Ron and Nancy. (Birch Lane)
American Psycho
"Surface, surface, surface was all that anyone found meaning in," complains Ellis's numb yuppie cannibal in a line that applies aptly to the creator of this repellant rant. (Vintage Contemporaries)
Flight of the Avenger
In 1944 Navy pilot George Bush was shot down in the Pacific. Rescued three hours later, he returned home and married a nice girl named Barbara. There's not much more to this cream-puff portrait, no hint of the drive that took Bush to the White House. (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich)
Woody Allen
A half over-lightly biography heavy on sycophantic slavering. Lax's research style seems patterned on the parody interviews in Allen's Zelig. (Knopf)
Good Guys, Bad Guys
Dispiriting anecdotes (many recycled from old Hite reports), dopey self-help tests and simplistic advice—just what every woman needs. (Carroll & Graf)
The Runaway Soul
You marvel at the 30-year blizzard of self-obsession that produced this 835-page snowdrift of a novel, but mostly you just want out. (Farrar Straus Giroux)
Happy Endings
In the Washington Post Quinn had bite. In this sodden, steamy novel, she's just yapping. (Simon & Schuster)
A Jaws with tentacles? This giant squid would be more menacing as fried calamari (Oh, the heartburn!) than as Benchley's stupid squisher. (Random House)
I Remember
Glad you had a loving childhood, Dan, but did you have to recount it so droningly? Even in a newscast you don't have to explain an outhouse is a "toilet." Courage, reader. (Little, Brown)

ORIGINAL CAST 2, a musical celebration showcasing artists from theatre, television and cabaret performing songs they originated in musical productions, will take place for one-night-only on Saturday, April 2. Garrett, who appeared in 22 previous S.T.A.G.E events, was preparing to perform a number in this year's show from "Something for the Boys," in which she appeared on Broadway in 1943 with Ethel Merman. A musical retrospective honoring Garrett is now being planned as part of this year's show.
Heading the initial list of participants who will donate their time and talents to this notable event is a slate of Tony®-award-winning performers, among them stage legends Carol Channing and Rita Moreno and Robert Morse from the hit series "Mad Men."

Those scheduled to appear and the shows from which they will perform material are as follows: Jonelle Allen ("Two Gentlemen of Verona"), Liz Callaway("Baby), Philip Casnoff ("Chess"), Patrick Cassidy ("42nd Street"), Mary Jo Catlett("Hello Dolly"), Carol Channing ("Hello Dolly"), Carole Cook ("42nd Street"), Barbara Deutsch ("Godspell"), Willy Falk ("Miss Saigon"), Danny Gurwin ("Little Women"), Bill Hutton ("Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat"), Jane Kean ("Ankles Aweigh"), Dale Kristien ("Showboat"), Sean McDermott ("Showboat"), Rita Moreno ("The Ritz:"), Patricia Morison ("The King and I").

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – For state Rep. Brandon Dillon, it's all about what downtown Grand Rapids has to offer.
Rep. Lisa Posthumus Lyons, meanwhile, boasts of the activities at the annual Kent County Youth 4-H Fair.
Dillon, a Grand Rapids Democrat, and Lyons, a Republican from Alto, are among a dozen state lawmakers who filmed videos as part of a Pure Michigan and Art Van sponsored campaign aimed at getting people talking about the state's strengths.
The MIplace Sweepstakes asks residents to capture themselves on camera discussing their favorite place or write a 200-word essay describing what makes Michigan special to them.
The sponsors, which also include the Michigan Association of Realtors and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, hope the contest leads to economic development through "placemaking" that builds communities through people's interests.
Of course, there's a carrot for taking part in the promotion. Art Van Furniture will give a $50 gift card that all entrants can use on a purchase of at least $499. The retailer will also randomly award a $3,000 prize after the Sept. 4 close of the contest.

Several updates to Windows Azure can help you move your organization's data and applications to the cloud.
We are in a new era of the hybrid cloud. The contemporary definition of the hybrid cloud brings together the best of on-premises and cloud computing. There are many elements to this equation.
Virtual machines (VMs), virtual networks and Web services are now available as preview services for Windows Azure. SQL Reporting is available, there's a locally redundant storage option and several enhancements to existing Windows Azure services are now live. These updates help you build and bring your applications to the cloud in whichever manner is most appropriate for your needs.
There are also a number of pricing and metering updates. These changes include graduated pricing for networks, content delivery networks (CDNs) and storage; preview pricing for Windows Server and non-Windows VMs; and a 90 percent reduction in storage and CDN transaction prices.
Here's a closer look at the details of some of the service enhancements:
Using Windows Azure VMs gives you application mobility, letting you move your virtual hard disks (VHDs) back and forth between on-premises and the cloud. You can also migrate existing workloads such as Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft SharePoint to the cloud, bring your own customized Windows Server or Linux images, or select an OS image from a gallery.
Compatible OSes and images available in the online gallery include:
You can access VMs in the new Windows Azure Management Preview Portal or through Windows PowerShell, using the new Windows Azure SDK (June 2012). There are also command-line tools available for Mac or Linux development.
The Windows Azure Virtual Network service lets you create a private environment called a virtual network (VNET) in Windows Azure. You can also connect this to your on-premises network using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway. Within the VNET you create, you have control over the network topology. For example, you can configure IP address ranges for the VMs or even specify your own DNS. For creating a secure connection with your corporate VPN gateway, Windows Azure uses the industry-standard IPSec protocol.
With the Windows Azure Virtual Network service, you can extend your on-premises datacenter by building "virtual" extensions within the public cloud. You can also provide a networking on-ramp for migrating existing apps and services (including legacy apps) to Windows Azure. You can also run "hybrid" apps that span the cloud and on-premises networks.
You can use Windows Azure to build Web sites and applications with this highly elastic solution that lets you easily deploy with a few clicks. You can build applications in .NET, Node.js or PHP, and connect with Windows Azure SQL Database (formerly known as SQL Azure) or MySQL (offered as a service on Windows Azure by ClearDB).
Deploy those apps using built-in integration with Git and Team Foundation Service, along with FTP. Integration with Microsoft WebMatrix also lets you easily pull down your Web sites locally to make changes and then easily deploy back to Windows Azure. You can deploy popular open source Web apps such as WordPress, Joomla!, DotNetNuke, Umbraco and Drupal to the cloud.
The preview of the Windows Azure Management Portal features rich scenario-based UIs, real-time monitoring charts, diagnostics data, notifications and alerts to manage the health of your application. This helps with deploying, configuring, monitoring and troubleshooting applications. The Preview Portal supports the following services: Cloud Services, VMs (Preview), Web Sites (Preview), VNET (Preview), SQL Database and Storage.
The Windows Azure SDK, released in June 2012, includes new developer capabilities for writing code against the latest service improvements with updated support for Java, PHP and .NET, and the addition of Python as a supported language on Windows Azure. The SDK now provides 100 percent command-line support for both Windows and OS X.
Here's a list of some of the other tool and language support enhancements:
For the preview period, the Windows Server and Linux VM cost per hour is $0.013 for Extra Small, $0.08 for Small, $0.16 for Medium, $0.32 for Large and $0.64 for Extra Large. The SQL Server 2012 Evaluation edition is included at no additional charge. At general availability, images with SQL Server 2012 Web and Standard Editions will be available for an additional fee.
If you're using graduated pricing for Storage, CDN and Network Egress, you'll automatically see those features' costs go down as their usage volume increases. There's no need to do anything special. If you're a Pay-As-You-Go customer, you'll receive this benefit automatically.
The new Locally Redundant Storage option offers up to a 33 percent discount over the Geo-Redundant Storage option with the same graduated pricing tiers. Storage and CDN transaction costs have been reduced by 90 percent (from $0.01 for 10,000 transactions to $0.01 for 100,000 transactions).
Windows Azure will be available in 48 new countries, including Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa and Ukraine. This means Windows Azure is one of the most widely available cloud platforms, with offerings in 89 countries and in 19 local currencies. These updates give you greater flexibility for spanning on-premises and cloud servers, deliver powerful enhancements for cloud applications, and help to make Windows Azure an open platform.
Bob Kelly is the corporate vice president of Windows Azure Marketing for Microsoft.

UNEP Announces Launch of China's HCFC Phase-Out Management Plan
20 December 2011: The UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) has announced the launch of China's Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) Phase-out Management Plan (HPMP) under the Montreal Protocol. The US$270 million HPMP aims cut consumption of HCFCs in China by January 2015.
HCFCs are used in the production of chemicals and foam, as well as in the industrial and commercial refrigeration, air conditioners, refrigeration servicing and solvent sectors. HCFCs have high-global warming potential, and are ozone depleting. China is the largest producer, consumer and exporter of HCFCs.
According to Lijun Zhang, Vice Minister of Environmental Protection of China, "as a responsible developing country, China will earnestly live up to her promises and meet her commitments." According to UNEP, China's HCFC phase-out will involve the conversion of hundreds of assembly lines. Under the HPMP, 45,000 metric tons of HCFCs will be eliminated, and replacement technologies will significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country.
UNEP, the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the World Bank and the Governments of Germany and Japan are assisting China in the development and implementation of its HPMP. [UNEP Press Release]

Objective: Return to Vergari, secure their 2005 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Mission Status: Accomplished!
Current Winery: Vergari Wines
Wine Subject: 2005 Vergari Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Winemaker: David Vergari
Backgrounder: Earlier this year, we feature a fantastic wine from Vergari, a winery that thrilled our Operatives so much that we got several requests for another great Vergari wine.
Napa Cabernet Sauvignon continues to dominate as the leader in California red wine. For good reason, too, as Napa produces some of the richest and most delicious examples on the planet. Today's wine is a beautifully balanced delight that had us wishing for another bottle, mere moments after we polished off the first. Read Agent Red's tasting notes and mission report for the full briefing
Wine Spies Tasting Profile:
Look – Dark garnet with an inky core. The wine maintains deeply concentrated color out to it's edges. When swirled, this wine shows a loosely bouncy surface. When it settles, it leaves behind chubby branching legs that flow slowly down the glass
Smell – Dark and rich, with huge dark layers of blackberry, blueberry, smoky black cherry, earthen plum, toasty oak and soft spice. These sit softly atop beautiful notes of cedar shavings, soft anise, vanilla custard and soft mineral notes
Feel – Light, lush and wet up front, then softly grippy and mouth-coating across the mid. Moments later, medium-grained tannins show up, drying the cheeks and lips as a bright flavors cascade around the mouth
Taste – Rich and delicious, with balanced bright and dark flavors. Bright cherry and plum lead the way, followed by dark mixed berries, vanilla tart, dark raspberry with softly toasted oak, spices, and soft anise
Finish – Begins with big, bright flavors that linger for a long interval before they begin to fade gradually, revealing a smoky minerality and dark fruit that tails off slowly, with a hint of cedar, soft oak and a wisp of licorice
Conclusion – This is another outstanding offering from our friend David Vergari – aka Agent Elvis. David's experience shines through in this great Napa Cabernet, showing off his prowess as a superior winemaker. While working for Phelps, David made wines that cost more than twice the price of today's wine. In today's offering, you have the unique opportunity to take advantage of his experience with making some of the best Napa Cabs in the world. This is a delicious and delightful wine that is serious fun to drink. With all of the richness of a Classic Napa, this wine also has great balance and brightness , making it an easy pairing companion for most meals. We are so pleased to have met David Vergari, and even more pleased ot share his great wine with you today. Cheers!

AGENT RED: Greetings, Elvis. We are thrilled to be showing your 2006 Sangiacomo Pinot Noir today. Thanks so much for taking some time to answer questions for our Operatives today.
DAVID VERGARI: Hey, it's my privilege.
RED: Was there a specific experience in your life that inspired your love of wine?
DAVID: My family is Italian. I grew up with Dago Red. Need I say more?
RED: And where did you learn the most about winemaking?
DAVID: On the practical side: Working with Damian Parker at Joseph Phelps Vineyards. It was cool to integrate the cellar experience with the theory I learned in school.
RED: What is your winemaking style or philosophy?
DAVID: I missed that lecture. I've been winging it ever since. What seems to work for me is not getting in the way, using oak very judiciously and letting the vineyard express itself
RED: What wine or winemaker has most influenced your winemaking style?
DAVID: With Cabernet Sauvignon, I'd like to give a tip of the hat to Randle Johnson and Tom Smith, whom I interned under at the Hess Collection back in the early-nineties. There's also Damian Parker at Joseph Phelps, who continues to mentor me to this day. Finally, James Halliday introduced me to sooo many wines from his phenomenal cellar when I worked at Coldstream Hills. I took notes and learned.
RED: How long have you been making wine?
DAVID: I started making Zinfandel at home in 1981. Professionally, since the early-90s.
RED: Who do you make wine for? DAVID: People who will appreciate the style of wine I've made… in other words, not everyone. I do not pander to critics and accept the fact that some of them will not "get" what I am trying to accomplish. No big deal. Be true to oneself and let the chips fall where they may. Oooh, that's heavy, man! RED: Tell me, what makes the Napa Valley so special for Bordeaux varietals? DAVID: I wish I could give you a definitive answer, but that's impossible. The fact is, I've made wines with these grapes from a number of different AVAs and the ones from the Napa Valley rise to the top. Before anyone gets their drawers in a knot about this, relax, it's just my opinion.
RED: What is one piece of advice that you would give to someone that is considering a career as a winemaker?
DAVID: Give me a call. I'll try to talk you out of it
RED: What is occupying your time at the winery these days?
DAVID: I wear all the hats: production, sales, administration, grower relations, spiritual advisor, athletic director, blah, blah, blah. However, at the end of the day I am a wine-seller. Vintners who fail to embrace this axiom are screwed.
RED: Please tell me a little bit about the wine we are featuring today DAVID: The grapes are grown in the Coombsville District, which lies due east of the City of Napa. I learned about the vineyard in '03 from Mark Herold who succeeded me as the Research Enologist at Phelps. Mark proceeded to absolutely blow up and become quite the rock-star with his Merus wines. Did I say "succeeded me"? Hah, it was more like he blew my doors off! I worked with Peter Nissen, the vineyard manager, and had quite a good time. RED: What is your favorite pairing with today's wine? DAVID: Red meat, preferably grilled. RED: Please share one thing about yourself that few people know DAVID: I swam across Lake Tahoe in a relay race. The water was rather cold. RED:What is your favorite 'everyday' or table wine?
DAVID: Whatever I am drinking at the time. Really. During the harvest my favorite white is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or Bear Republic's Racer 5 IPA.
RED: How would you recommend that people approach your wines, or wine in general?
DAVID: Mine? With extreme caution. Wine in general? Remove the cork or screwcap and just enjoy.
RED: If you could choose any one wine to drink (regardless of price or availability), what would it be?
DAVID: Yes.
RED: What is the one question that I should have asked you, and what is your answer to that question?
DAVID: Jeepers-creepers, haven't I bored you enough? Okay, here goes: "When did you feel comfortable inside your own skin as a winemaker?" Answer: Only recently. I make wine with my heart and guts. It's scary and exhilarating. When something clicks, I am very grateful. And relieved.
RED: Thank you so much for your time. We learned a lot about you – and about your wine. Keep making your great wines. We became instant fans, the moment we tasted with you at [REDACTED].
DAVID: You guys are really cool cats. It's been my pleasure. Thank you for featuring my wine.

03 October 1997
BRIEFER: JAMES P. RUBIN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1997 INDEX ARMS CONTROL 11-12 Dept. of Defense Laser Test/Not a Treaty Violation/Impact on Passage of START II by Russia RUSSIA 12-13 Control and Security of Nuclear Weapons Q: How does the State Department feel about the Pentagon's decision to go ahead with the anti-satellite test? RUBIN: Well, as you know, Carol, I have some familiarity with this issue over the years and there is always going to be discussions back and forth on a subject like this. But having checked with our people, I have no reason to believe that we here in the Department had any specific problem with this test. The reason is that the kind of test that it is doesn't pose any problem with becoming an anti-ballistic missile system and this experiment does not violate any arms control agreement. As you know, there is no anti-satellite treaty, other international law, or US domestic law. It is an experiment. It is designed to collect data that will help improve computer models used for planning protection measures for US satellites. This is not a test of an anti-satellite system. This experiment will not destroy the satellite, will not result in any orbital debris, and will not pose any risk to other satellites. Furthermore, this laser, as I said, does not have an ABM capability. We, therefore, see, no reason why this experiment should cause any problems with the Russians or any other country. I can't rule out that officials in the State Department might have asked some questions, but this is an experiment that we don't believe is anything but a good use of research and development funds. Q: Well, as the Secretary has argued in the case of the Middle East, where there is a climate of distrust or at least there is a problem or some tension, sometimes even things that seem to be in other situations maybe benign, in certain environments, they are viewed more as greater tension-producers. And I just wondered, given the fact that you're having so much trouble getting the START II treaty through the Russian Duma and that there are elements in the political ferment of Russia that are concerned about the ABM treaty and what the United States may be doing in terms of missile defenses, do you believe this is the right time for this kind of a test? RUBIN: Today is, what, Friday? Last Friday the Secretary of State and the Foreign Minister of Russia signed two arms control agreements -- one very important one on the ABM treaty and how to make sure that anti-tactical ballistic missile defenses were permitted and strategic defenses were prohibited. We have been working very, very well with the Russians. There is no crisis of confidence in the relationship between the U.S. and Russia. Frankly, Secretary Albright finds her ability to work very closely with Foreign Minister Primakov one of the true surprises and something she's very pleased about in her job. So there isn't the kind of environment in this case that would lead to the analogy that you were suggesting some might have. So we don't have trouble with this test. As I said, it's not a test of an anti-satellite system. It's an experiment that will not destroy the satellite, will not result in any debris, will not pose any risk, and we see no reason why it should be a problem, especially in an environment where things are moving forward with the Russians on subjects like the ABM Treaty. Q: (Inaudible) the Russians? RUBIN: Yeah, let's stick with Russia. I know where that next one's going. Q: Do you? I'll bet you do. An eminent Russian scientist came all the way from Moscow yesterday to testify to Mr. Weldon's Committee on the House that, indeed, he knew the scientists that designed and made these hand carryable munitions, sometimes called suitcase atomic devices, but they're not that small. He knows they exist. He knows that Lebed made a very accurate study. He testified to that effect and he believes, as Lebed does, that some of these weapons are unaccounted for. The Russians are saying that they never even existed; whereby, our Defense Department refutes that. Jamie, is there a problem with these types of weapons that the Russians will either not account for them or can't? RUBIN: Our view of allegations that numbers of suitcase-sized warheads were missing from Russia's inventory have not changed. There is no evidence other than hearsay to support such claims; therefore, we give such claims little credibility. Russian officials, including Prime Minister Chernomyrdin, as well as Defense Ministry Officials, Atomic Energy Ministry Officials and others have strongly denied these specific allegations and confirmed that all Russian nuclear warheads are under Russia's control. This is a subject of the highest possible interest to the Secretary of State and the President. We have a number of officials in this Department and many in other departments who work every day on programs to try to ensure that nuclear weapons don't get out of control. As you know, movies are made about the people who do work on this subject and there are a lot of them. We have remained in close and cooperative contact with Russia on questions involving command and control of their nuclear arsenals. The government of Russia continues to assure us that it retains adequate command and control and that appropriate physical security arrangements exist for these weapons and facilities. We have no reason or evidence to doubt these assurances. We believe Russia, like the US and other nuclear powers, produced nuclear weapons of various sizes from strategic warheads hundreds of kilograms in weight to smaller atomic demolition munitions. We cannot comment, however, about the precise specifications or dimensions of any nuclear weapons, but we have no information or evidence suggesting that nuclear weapons were ever developed for or put under the control of the KGB, which is part of the story here. The U.S. Government is taking considerable steps to assist Russia in improving the security of its nuclear materials and technology through the Nunn-Lugar program and other programs. The United States is working cooperatively with Russia and other governments to further enhance the physical security of Russian nuclear storage facilities. I've been following this issue for a long time and there are always different accounts of what happened in Russia during the Soviet period and what capabilities there were. There are many different experts who have many different opinions as to what was or wasn't happening. I can tell you this, that there's probably no issue where you have the combined resources of the US Government working as well together and with such determination as on the issue of security of nuclear weapons. We work on it every day -- hundreds, if not thousands, of people in the government -- and if they say that we have no information on this and they say that these accounts are hearsay that's pretty compelling. Q: Wouldn't it be appropriate to challenge them or to go to say (inaudible) the KGB head that was in charge at the time? RUBIN: Well, I welcome, you know, your efforts. I'm just saying that we worked this problem. We are aware of these allegations. This is not news to us, these kinds of stories. That's my point. So we do what we can here in the government to try to get to the bottom of stories, to try to work with the Russians. From the top all the way down to the lowest levels, there are always going to be stories that you can't ever get to the bottom of, but for now that's our position. Q: So, no challenge or accounting should be asked for of the Russians of these types of weapons? RUBIN: We have worked with the Russians on this subject and I am sure that in the course of that work the issue of atomic demolition munitions, which are the ones that might be small, have been discussed. ..............

ATTICA - Car crashes and death were the topics of a safe driving program for high school students Thursday morning at Seneca East Local Schools.
Lt. Brent Meredith, commander of the Fremont Post of State Highway Patrol, showed graphic images of crash scenes he has been at and a video that included examples of young drivers who were involved in fatal car crashes and the impact the crashes had on families, friends and the community.
"With me being here, I want to get through to you that it is not just about proms and graduations, but the rest of your futures," Meredith said. "Your principal and teachers look around and see the potential in you and want to continue to give you the opportunities to be whoever and do whatever you want to do."

Lt. Brent Meredith of the State Highway Patrol talks to Seneca East Local High School students Thursday on the importance of driving safely, especially during prom and graduation season.
Meredith said he was not showing the images out of disrespect, but to convince students that every year it happens and happens in Seneca County.
"I am not here to preach to you, I am just here to give you a reminder," Meredith said.
He said students can protect themselves by wearing seat belts, following the speed limit, not driving impaired, looking both ways when at stop signs, not looking for traffic until the vehicle is stopped and remembering green does not mean go.
"Even when the light turns green, give it a second and look both ways before you go," he said. "Some drivers out there do not adhere to the caution light."
Meredith said 2013 was one of the safest years on the road in Ohio's history, with less than 1,000 drivers killed in car crashes.
So far this year, 51 crashes have resulted in 61 fatalities in Ohio, he said. That figure includes 17 accidents in which people younger than 24 were killed and 19 accidents caused by people younger than 24, Meredith said.
He said distracted driving is more dangerous than drunk driving.
Meredith explained three types of distracted driving: Visual, eyes off the road; manual, hands off the wheel; and cognitive, not concentrating on driving.
"Driving is your responsibility," Meredith said. "Don't be another statistic."
He read a list of about 20 names of people who have died in car crashes.
"My goal here today is to impact you and convince you that it does happen here and near Seneca East," Meredith said. "I read these names out of respect and remembrance to try to encourage you to make good decisions, mature decisions, and right decisions and to try to encourage others to do the same."
Seneca East High School Principal Don Vogt said, "Standing on the sidelines, I tried to find something brilliant to say to leave with you, but I thought that if the videos, pictures and list of names that Lt. Meredith shared with you doesn't do it, then nothing will."
"Don't forget you have a responsibility every time you get behind the wheel," Vogt said. "You have to take it seriously. We want to see you today, on May 15 and on Aug. 25."
After the program, Seneca East junior Jack Daniel said he is going to wear his seat belt and not speed.
Junior Jaclyn Willman said she will continue to wear her seat belt and make sure her friends do the same.
"It is scary," Willman said. "The list of names definitely hit home for me."

Wine Details
Winemaker's Notes
Since 1981, when Winemaster Ed Sbragia first began blending the most expressive components from Beringer's best vineyards to craft the Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, he and Bob Steinhauer, vineyard manager at the time, worked steadily to identify Napa Valley sites that they thought could be developed into producing the rich, intensely colored and flavored Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that Ed requires for the Private Reserve. In 2002, Ed had six reserve-potential vineyards to draw from, choosing...
Without question, the best tasting cab I have ever tasted. It has an uncanny combination of bold fruity flavor with zero acidity. It's incredibly smooth. The only problem with this wine is that I couldn't afford to buy more than one bottle.
very smooth, incredible nose, strong cassis scent, full bodied, mocha. 95 pts.

On Friday, the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza listed Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland as the leading candidate in the Barack Obama veepstakes. Here's what he wrote:
Obama may not want to put Clinton on the ticket (see above), but he and his campaign know that the best way to unify the party behind him is to offer an obvious olive branch to her supporters. Strickland, who was elected governor of Ohio in 2006, accomplishes that task, as he was one of Clinton's most prominent backers during the primary season. Strickland is also extremely popular in his home state, hails from the conservative southeastern reaches of Ohio and has a deep religious background -- he was a Methodist minister -- that would help Democrats close the "God gap".
I was about to give you a third iteration of my "Strickland has the breadth of support but not the depth of support to bring Ohio" lecture, although I suspect that the horse I'm beating isn't moving and it isn't sleeping either.
But then something interesting happened. Here's what Strickland said on NPR, as reported by ABC News:
Asked on NPR's "All Things Considered" if he is auditioning to be Obama's running mate, Strickland said, "Absolutely not. If drafted I will not run, nominated I will not accept and if elected I will not serve.
So, I don't know how more crystal clear I can be."
So should we stop talking about Strickland as a potential running mate? Marc Ambinder seems to think so.
I'm not so sure. Does Strickland really know for sure how he would react if Obama put the question to him? Isn't it possible Strickland is simply sick of hearing the question or worried that the folks back home in Ohio are starting to think he's more interested in national politics than governing their state? Wouldn't this be a really easy pledge to break, without negative consequences?
If you hear a noise right now, it's probably an exasperated sigh from Ted Strickland.

"Parking is a real pain but the inn itself really makes up for it in the end. My stay started off very rocky with having to park far away and carrying a ton of luggage but the innkeeper ended up coming to help and made it a very nice stay. Tons of stairs!! Be prepared!! But it's so beautiful."

What you should know about Rockland
Hotels in Rockland
From luxury villas to cozy B&Bs, there is certainly a wide variety of accommodation in Rockland. Villa Marco Polo Inn is a 5-star Rockland hotel that has opulent, traditional Italian-style guest rooms, with some even featuring fireplaces and balconies that overlook the landscaped Tuscan gardens. The Craigmyle is a popular 3-star Bed and Breakfast hotel in Rockland that is just moments away from historic Craigdarroch Castle.

This Rockland boutique hotel is located right in the heart of the neighborhood with the area's key attractions just a short distance away.
Things to do in Rockland
Visit the vibrant Cook Street Village with a wonderful array of shops, restaurants, coffee houses, and even a popular market selling local produce and organic goods. Take a trip around the 200-acre Beacon Hill Park, considered one of Victoria's most beautiful parks, and where you can hop in a horse-drawn carriage and ride through the magnificent landscaped gardens, past the lakes, ponds, exotic flowers, and wild peacocks. Government House, the residence of the Lieutenant Governor, has commanding oceanic views, and a wonderful costume museum exhibiting period pieces. Enjoy a relaxing stroll through the cultivated gardens, and pop into the Tea Room for a spot of afternoon tea. Don't forget to stop by Craigdarroch Castle, a key Victoria landmark and a Canadian National Historic Site dating back to the late 1880s. The architecture of the Castle wonderfully combines Romanesque, 11th- and 12th-century Spanish, French, and Italian designs, stained glass windows, and intricate woodwork.
Good for couples
Vacationing near Victoria offers a unique opportunity to enjoy a vibrant city vibe with a diverse mix of old-world charm combined with extraordinary natural surroundings.

Sponsored by Biggest Loser Resort
Last week was the final week on the ranch! Now, the final four are all headed home to see their families and friends who haven't seen them since the beginning of their journey just a short 12 weeks ago. The changes that Becky, Vinny, Antone, and John have made are unbelievable and to be able to share it with their loved ones is such an amazing experience. Everyone is floored when they see the contestants and it is such a special and touching moment to see. I am so proud of each of them for all they have accomplished! It's moments like this that make the entire journey worth it and make each of the contestants want to continue on. I know that feeling and its one of the best in the entire world!
The contestants also get videos from their trainers and reflect back on the entire 12 weeks since the beginning. My jaw drops when I see how much each of them has changed since then. In three short months, they have changed their lives. If they can, why can't you? That's what the question has to be. Anyone can do it! Whatever life change you need to make, set your mind do it, see it, believe it, and then just do it! Anything is possible if you believe it is.
Vinny had some HUGE moments in this episode and I loved it! He finally gets the opportunity to talk to his mother about the abuse that his step-father put her and the kids through. She is open and honest with him, but doesn't have a direct answer. Vinny still tells her that he loves her and he is okay with her not knowing the full reason why she let is happen. I am proud of him for opening up to her the way that he did. I think the biggest and best moment happened when Vinny proposed to Lori! He rented out the entire Grand Ole Opry House for their date and proposal. I am so happy for both of them and wish them the very best of luck in their marriage!
The trainers visit each of their contestants in their home towns to help motivate and inspire them and also their families. Bob talks to Vinny's older brother Shane and helps him get started on his own weight loss journey. It's all about paying it forward. Dolvett and John talk about finding a balance at home. John's wife is basically doing everything for John so John can spend his entire days in the gym. It's all about finding a balance and I have full faith that all of the final four will be able to find that balance at home before and after the finale. Bob and Dolvett also workout all of the contestants in their home towns for their absolute last workouts with them…ever!
Now it's marathon time!!! Not only do we get to see the fit and healthy final four, but we also get to see all of the eliminated contestants who are coming back to compete for a spot in the final 3! Whoever wins this marathon will be a finalist and CAN win the title of the season 12 Biggest Loser! There are so many competitors and everyone is in it to win it. And everyone looks BEYOND wonderful! They have all obviously been training very hard. Bonnie isn't allowed to run the marathon because of her knee, but she is a fabulous cheerleader. Alison also tells the contestants that the first five finishers will also win a cash prize from Walgreens. Yet another incentive to do well in this marathon! Ramon and Courtney are in the lead and neck and neck for the entire 26.2 miles through the rough terrain. John, Jessica, and Patrick are not far behind them. Vinny and Joe both got pulled from the marathon because of medical reasons and miles 20 and 21. They did an amazing job for the conditions they were in! After a long five hours, Ramon wins the marathon!!! He is now a finalist and is in it to win it! My girl Courtney finishes only 3 minutes behind Ramon and did an amazing job as well. I am so proud of EVERYONE for finishing this marathon. It says a lot about what hardwork and dedication (Thanks, Dolvett!) can do for people. Like I said before…if you believe it, you can do it.
The final weigh in determines who the other two contestants are in the final 3 and who will be joining Ramon as a finalist. Becky, Antone, John, and Vinny all weigh in and even though it's very close, Antone and John are the other two finalists! Vinny was so close to them though and I am so proud of him and Becky!
So, the season 12 Biggest Loser is guaranteed to be a man but the question is will it be someone from the young group and original red team or someone from the middle group and the original black team? Will the winner be Ramon, John, or Antone? Who do YOU think will have the title of the Biggest Loser?
Be sure to watch the season 12 finale on December 13th on NBC to find out!!!

"Son of Neptune" reviewed by Sabrina Gasana on May 29, 2012
The Son of Neptune is about a boy named Percy Jackson is at another camp for Romans, and doesn't remember anything except the name Annebeth. I would read this book soon because he also meets new people, and also meets old people he knew, too.
The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan.
Yes, I would recommend this book to anyone who loves greek mythology as much as I do. First book of the Heroes of Olympus series is The Lost Hero. Second book is The Son of Neptune. The third book is coming out soon.

Warwickshire sneak through
Click here for all the latest scores, match reports, news, videos and exclusive interviews during the Yorkshire Bank 40 campaign
Warwickshire earned an away draw against Lancashire in the semi-finals of the Clydesdale Bank 40 after a 55-run Duckworth/Lewis victory over Yorkshire at Scarborough.
In a Group C game reduced to 29 overs by rain, Yorkshire found themselves chasing a revised target of 214 after Tim Ambrose had led the Warwickshire charge to 211 for six with an unbeaten 87 off 64 balls, including nine fours and a six.
Yorkshire managed only 158 in deep gloom, with Warwickshire beneficiary Neil Carter coming to the fore on his first one-day appearance of the season to snap up the first three wickets at a cost of only eight runs en route to 4-16.
That saw the visitors finish second in the group, level on points with Kent but having won one more game.
With no chance of reaching the last four themselves, Yorkshire rested several senior players ahead of their important LV= County Championship match against Gloucestershire; they were led for the first time by Gary Ballance, who scored a robust 68.
The White Rose also suffered misfortune early in the match when Richard Pyrah fielded a ball at backward point and injured the same hand which he broke in similar circumstances during the opening week of the season. He took no further part in the game and the extent of the injury was due to be assessed later.
Put in to bat, Warwickshire were given a sound start by Will Porterfield and Varun Chopra but, on 37, the latter edged an intended drive at Steven Patterson and was caught behind by Dan Hodgson.
Shortly afterwards, skipper Jim Troughton gave a return catch to off-spinner Joe Root.
Rain, which had already caused a brief interruption, returned to bring about a reduction in the overs, but, on the resumption, Warwickshire took full advantage of some wayward bowling from pacemen Iain Wardlaw and Oliver Hannon-Dalby.
The departure of Porterfield to Adil Rashid left the visitors on 83 for three and they quickly assumed command as Ambrose and Darren Maddy racked up 89 together in 10 overs before the latter was caught on the long-on boundary by Root off Patterson for 44.
Ambrose continued to dominate until the close of the innings and, although he struck Patterson for six in the final over, the fast bowler still emerged with the excellent figures of 3-25 from six overs.
Yorkshire made a dreadful start to their reply, losing Adam Lyth lbw to the fourth ball of the innings from Carter, who also bowled Root in his next over and returned after a short rest to have Alex Lees caught by Troughton.
Ballance took the attack to Warwickshire with big sixes off Steffan Piolet and Ian Blackwell.
But debutant Jack Leaning was bowled cutting at Paul Best and Rashid fell lbw to Piolet before he had scored.
Consecutive sixes at Best's expense rushed Ballance to a 41-ball half-century, with three fours and four maximums.
He added a further four and six before being caught on the boundary edge.
Patterson and Hannon-Dalby hit out bravely in near darkness until Patterson was out with 3.5 overs remaining.

UNFCCC Loss and Damage Committee Considers Draft Workplan
28 March 2013: The Executive Committee of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage associated with Climate Change Impacts has identified possible focus areas for its two-year workplan.
The Executive Committee held its first meeting from 25-28 March 2013, in Bonn, Germany, with a focus on preparing its draft two-year workplan. The meeting was opened by Christiana Figueres, UNFCCC Executive Secretary, and Minister Marcin Korolec of Poland, President of the 19th session of the Conference of the Parties/19th session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (COP 19/CMP 9), and co-facilitated by two interim members of the Executive Committee Thiago Mendes and Matti Nummelin. It was attended by the full interim membership of the Committee and approximately 45 observers.
Speaking at the opening of the meeting, Korolec highlighted the crucial role of the loss and damage mechanism, and urged the Committee to develop an effective and viable workplan that would lead to effective outcomes at COP 20 in December 2014.
During the meeting, in addition to identifying possible focus areas, the Executive Committee also identified some concrete actions/activities with associated deliverables/milestones, timeframes and responsible actors. The Committee will further develop the draft workplan with inputs from relevant organizations and experts, and present its initial workplan at COP 20.
The Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage associated with Climate Change Impacts was established by COP 19 in November 2013 to address loss and damage associated with impacts of climate change, including extreme events and slow onset events, in developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. The functions of the Mechanism include: enhancing knowledge and understanding of comprehensive risk management approaches to address loss and damage; strengthening dialogue, coordination, coherence and synergies among relevant stakeholders; and enhancing action and support, including finance, technology and capacity building. [Meeting Website] [Remarks by COP 19/CMP 9 President]

A rare, brain-eating amoeba once found in Louisiana public water systems is believed to have caused the death of a 9-year-old Kansas girl last week, according to a Kansas City television report.
Hally "Bug" Nicole Yust passed away on July 9 from primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, KCTV-5 reports. Yust had been swimming in several lakes near her family's home in Spring Hill, the station reports, and health officials are attempting to determine in which body of water she could have come in contact with the deadly amoeba.
A type of freshwater amoeba called Naegleria fowleri causes the infection, which destroys brain tissue. It typically reaches the brain via water up a person's nose.
The brain-eating amoeba claimed the life of a 4-year-old Mississippi boy last year after he visited a home in St. Bernard Parish.
The boy likely contracted the infection after water went up his nose while playing on a Slip 'n Slide, health officials said at the time.
The parish's water system had tested positive for the amoeba in September of last year, according to the state's Department of Health and Hospitals. Further tests of St. Bernard's water collected in late January of this year came back negative.
DeSoto Parish's water system also tested positive for the amoeba in October of last year.
Both parishes previously tested positive for the amoeba in 2011 following a death linked to the infection in each parish.
The deadly amoeba's presence in the state prompted DHH officials to adopt an emergency rule increasing disinfectant levels for public water systems.

Ward, Nicholas S. MD; Lin, Dennis Y. MD; Nelson, David L. BA; Houtchens, Jeane MS; Schwartz, William A. BA, RRT; Klinger, James R. MD; Hill, Nicholas S. MD; Levy, Mitchell M. MD
Objective: To compare the ease and efficacy of two commonly used methods for choosing optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: a static pressure-volume curve to determine the lower inflection point (Pflex) and the "best PEEP" (PEEPbest) as determined by the maximal compliance curve.
Design: Prospective study.
Setting: Medical and respiratory intensive care units of university-associated tertiary care hospital.
Patients: Twenty-eight patients on mechanical ventilation with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Interventions: A critical care attending physician or fellow and an experienced respiratory therapist attempted to obtain both static pressure-volume curves and maximal compliance curves on 28 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome by using established methods that were practical to everyday use. The curves then were used to determine both Pflex and PEEPbest, and the results were compared.
Measurement and Main results: Our results showed at least one value for optimal PEEP was obtained in 26 of 28 patients (93%). Pflex was determined in 19 (68%), a PEEPbest in 24 (86%), and both values in 17 (61%). In patients who had both Pflex and PEEPbest determined, there was a close concordance (±3 cm H2O) in 60%. When the values of Pflex and PEEPbest were interpreted by two additional investigators, there was unanimous agreement on the Pflex (±3) only 64% of the time. There was agreement on the value of PEEPbest 93% of the time.
Conclusions: Our data show that optimal PEEP, as determined by a pressure-volume curve and a maximal compliance curve, are sometimes unobtainable by practical means but, when obtained, often correspond. A maximal compliance is more often identified, has less interobserver variability, and poses less risk to the patient. We conclude that determining optimal PEEP by maximal static compliance may be easier to measure and more frequently obtained at the bedside than by using a static pressure-volume curve.

Good news for Sean "P. Diddy" Combs: A North Carolina Court of Appeals has overturned a court order requiring the music mogul and Broadway star to pay $450,000 to a limo driver who claimed he was beaten by Combs's bodyguards in June 1995, the Associated Press reports.
The 9-year-old lawsuit was first brought by Cedrick Bobby Lemon, who said he was beaten by guards who were hired by Combs to protect R&B Mary J. Blige at a Joel Coliseum concert in Winston-Salem. (At the time, Combs was Blige's manager.)
According to legal papers, Lemon had a pass that permitted him to stand backstage. But when two bodyguards attempted to clear that area in order to escort Blige from the coliseum after her concert, they punched Lemon in the head, kicked him in the back and broke his right ankle, said the suit, which blamed Combs for allegedly failing to provide proper training to the bodyguards.
The legal documents go on to say Lemon ran up $14,400 in medical bills and was rendered unable to drive or engage in sports because he is "permanently impaired from running and jumping."
Lemon's attorney, Howard C. Jones, tells AP that his client has not decided whether to pursue an appeal.
There has been no comment from Combs, 34, who is currently starring in the Tony-nominated revival of A Raisin in the Sun.
