Waste Basket —By— 4 GRANT BERGSTROM "Sprig Has Cub" That's what everyone thought until Monday morning when snow began t'n-^ng and winter was with us once more, and as this is written Tuesday evening, the thermometer says 20 above and snow is still falling. * * * * And speaking of cold weather, heating the print-shop this week has been about as easy as thawing out the froz- eremussians in Finland. With half the windows knocked out and the big doors hanging askew there's nothing to stop the old nor'easter from parading right through the place. But this will all soon be changed. It is our misfortune that the weather man had to push on the storm-button at a time like this when things are all more or less topsy-turvy. * * * * A Champ is Born L<Last week the Pine River cagers trotteqt through the sub-district tourney like as if it was all in a days work and the village dopsters having been laying odds ever since. Anyway tlfe Mattson basketeers created something of a sensation Friday evening of laj^t we i\ when they outsmarted Hie Sebeka boys of last year's championship f? me, moving about the floor like we 1-oiled robots, never taking a false turn. * * * * The school was in a bedlam Friday afternoon as 'buses-lined up to take students to the district tournament at Staples, where the Tigers met C-I. Anyway, everyone was keyed to a fever pitch and by the looks of things nothing this side of the Atlantic could h'ave kept them from the tournament. * * * * It isn't every year that an honor of this kind is brought to a village of this size but when it does the lid is off and you hear nothing but basket- l^ anil tournaments at every turn. llTIen the school board was aroused to its loyalty and conducted their meeting enroute to the games Tuesday evening so as not to miss a single play, ■y * * * * * Thanks Students have George Mahood and Arvid Lundin to thank for their free trip to the tournament Tuesday evening. These two gentlemen spent a day soliciting funds from local businessmen to finance the trip and make it possible for all of them to attend. ^ * * * * It's a tough job writing a column , when all you can thing of is mopping t,w derbis in a fire swept print shop and polishing off corroded and rusty machinery. Hope we' can get it out of our mind soon and can turn around without seeing something that has heen relegated to the ashpile. * * * » "Confucius Say" No typee, no pressee, no printee. .OCALS U- Psne River Toasts Its Cage CliampiSons Local Items *,. *wia , Pine River was turned over to these oVemy. :,t, clean-limbed boys and their coach, H.

Dr. Kenneth Niemeyer Passes Away
Dr. Kenneth H. Niemeyer, who earned his bachelor's degree, doctor of veterinary medicine and master's degree at the University of Missouri and went to serve his alma mater as a College of Veterinary Medicine faculty member and administrator, died Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2011. He was 83.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m., Monday, Jan. 2, 2012, at Memorial Park Funeral Home in Columbia, Mo. Burial will in Memorial Park Cemetery immediately following the service. The family will receive visitors at the funeral home immediately following the graveside services.
Dr. Niemeyer was born to William C. and Olinda C. Schwerdt Niemeyer on Sept. 15, 1928, in St. Louis. His family relocated to a 100-acre farm near Treloar, east of Hermann, Mo. There he learned to milk cows, raise chickens and grow crops, experiences he said influenced his decision to pursue veterinary medicine. "I remembered how veterinarians would come out to our farm and treat our animals, that's what I wanted to do," he recounted in an interview for an article in the Spring/Summer 1999 Veterinary Medical Review.
Dr. Niemeyer served in the U.S. Navy from 1946 to 1949 as an electrician, which included one year on the aircraft carrier USS TARAWA. He returned to Columbia following his military service and enrolled in the University of Missouri under the G.I. Bill. He married Margaret R. Rennick on April 3, 1953.
He earned a bachelor of science and his DVM in 1955. After working briefly at a small animal clinic in St. Louis, he was offered a teaching position at MU. He said he planned to teach just two years and then open his own practice.
"But you know, I enjoyed working with the students. They challenge you. I was only a few years older than my students, and I felt I was learning more than they were," the VMR article quoted him as saying.
He completed his master of science at MU in 1962. In 1963, he was hired as an associate professor and took over the duties as the director of the Small Animal Clinic at the College of Veterinary Medicine from 1964 to 1968.
In 1976, Dr. Niemeyer was named assistant dean for student and alumni affairs and essentially began developing an alumni relations program from the ground up. He is credited with initiating alumni publications and beginning a College development fund. With others, he also started the College's annual fund-raiser for student scholarships — the Gentle Doctor Benefit. Dr. Niemeyer is credited as serving as the point person for raising the private support needed for the construction of Clydesdale Hall, which now houses the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. He also oversaw its construction, which was complete in 1993. He served as the interim chairman of veterinary medicine and surgery in 1981 and 1982. In 1985, his position was consolidated with that of the associate dean of academic affairs, a post he held until his retirement in 1993 after 38 years of service. He was known as an influential teacher who mentored hundreds of veterinary students.
Following his retirement, he was named as a professor emeritus.
Although he retired, Dr. Niemeyer remained active at the CVM. He helped raise funds and oversaw the College's 50th anniversary celebration. A tireless champion of the College, Dr. Niemeyer, along with his wife, established the Visiting Lecture Fund, which brings prestigious speakers to the College to deliver scientific lectures to students, faculty and other interested individuals. He and his wife were also members of the Jefferson Club.
His other memberships included the American Animal Hospital Association, American Veterinary Medical Association, Missouri Veterinary Medical Association, Central Veterinary Medical Association, Association of Veterinary Clinicians, Association of Veterinary Medical Educators, Sigma Xi, Gamma Sigma Delta and Phi Zeta. He also served on the Advisory Board to Animal Control for the City of Columbia.
He was a longtime member of Missouri United Methodist Church.
Dr. Niemeyer was well-respected among his peers. He received the Faculty Improvement Award from the MU Graduate School, he was named the CVM Alumnus of the Year Award 1986, and the Missouri Veterinary Medical Association presented Dr. Niemeyer with its most prestigious award when its members named him Veterinarian of the Year in 1993. In the 50th year historical pictorial review of the College, it was said of Dr. Niemeyer, that "no one individual gave such steady, loyal and consistent service to the college."
Dr. Niemeyer is survived by his wife, Margaret of Columbia; one son, Russell W. Niemeyer and his wife, Pamela J., of Hobbs, N.M.; two grandsons, Kyle W. Niemeyer and Michael J. Niemeyer, also of Hobbs, N.M.; one brother-in-law, Robert F. Rennick and his wife, Mary, of Jefferson City; one sister-in-law, Juanita Rennick of Washington, Mo; and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, colleagues and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother-in-law, James W. Rennick.
Memorial contributions may be made to The Niemeyer Lecture Fund, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Missouri, 1600 E.

Top Moments Of Our iHeartRadio Music Awards
The iHeartRadio Music Awards were full of amazing moments. Music history was made yet again. Check out the best of the very first iHeartRadio Music Awards below!
[iHeartRadio Music Awards Winners]
How's this for an LA story: traffic. Rihanna won the evening's first award (for Hip-Hop/R&B Song of the Year for "Pour It Up"), but presenter Pitbull had to accept for her – because she was stuck in traffic on the 405. When she got to the Shrine Auditorium, she got people talking with her unique hair and makeup, and ended up being the night's biggest winner.
Usher channeled the spirit of Michael Jackson as he led an incredible choreographed routing to Michael Jackson's new single, "Love Never Felt So Good." Clear Channel stations around the country will premiere the full version of the single, which features Justin Timberlake, tomorrow morning.
Kendrick Lamar was featured talking about how he saw 2Pac and Dr. Dre film the video for "California Love" - and then proceeded to cover the 1996 hit surrounded by his fans.
Pharrell Williams brought the house down with a set that included new song "Come Get It Bae," "Blurred Lines," "Get Lucky" and "Happy" before Gwen Stefani presented him with the iHeartRadio Innovator Award.
The Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan bromance continued. Blake cheekily introduced Luke's performance by calling him a pain the ass and then proceeded to beat out Luke's "My Kind of Night" for Country Song of the Year with "Boys Round Here"
Miley Cyrus won Best Lyrics for "Wrecking Ball," but her dad Billy Ray took it home for her. His speech included several shout outs to the late great country storyteller George Jones.
Pitbull was on a boat – in the middle of the Shrine Auditorium. He performed "Wild Wild Love" (with G.R.L.) and "Timber" on the audacious yacht set. "Timber," his Ke$ha project, took home Best Collaboration.
The Mahomies were out in force to catapult Austin Mahone to iHeartRadio Instagram Award victory. Considering that Rihanna has been on an Instagram spree this week, tagging all of her posts with the method-of-entry hashtag #iHeartRihanna, this is a very impressive achievement.

The Portland Police Bureau, in cooperation with Crime Stoppers of Oregon, is asking for the public's help in identifying a suspect in a Downtown Portland assault.
On Monday July 15, 2013, at 2:30 p.m., Central Precinct officers responded to Southwest 3rd Avenue and Oak Street on the report of an assault outside the Portland Outdoor Store.
Officers and medical personnel arrived and located the victim, 70-year-old Larry Allen, suffering from a head injury. He was transported to a Portland hospital for treatment to the non-life-threatening injury.
Witnesses told police that a large group of transient "street kids" were involved in the assault of the man, an employee of the Portland Outdoor Store. Witnesses told police the victim was hosing off the sidewalk when he was attacked.
Officers recovered a skateboard possibly used in the assault but have not identified the suspect.
Detectives believe that there may be several witnesses associated with the suspect that have not spoken to police.
The suspect is described as a white male in his 20s, 6' tall, thin build, light colored eyes, and blond and brownish hair. At the time of the assault, the suspect was associated with a group of at least 2 other males and one female.
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information, reported to Crime Stoppers, that leads to an arrest in this case, or any unsolved felony, and you can remain anonymous.
Leave a Crime Stoppers tip online at http://www.crimestoppersoforegon.com , text CRIMES (274637) and in the subject line put 823HELP, followed by your tip, or call 503-823-HELP (4357) and leave your tip information.

Extracting Water From Thin Air
via npr.org
on 17 April 2017
Even scorching desert landscapes have water molecules floating in the atmosphere. Until now, the technology required to extract them has required vast amounts of energy. But a scientific duo from MIT and UC, Berkeley has just prototyped a new machine employing an MOF, or metal-organic framework. Here, a thin MOF powder layer absorbs water vapor—and ambient sunlight then releases it into a basin within the device. The prototype used was quite small but one of the two scientists, Evelyn Wang, says a full-sized system could pull almost three quarts of water each day—quite literally extracting the liquid from thin air.
New Study Proves Art Can Help With Wellness
via theguardian.com
According to a British all-party inquiry, it's evident that involvement in the arts can "keep people well, aid recovery from illness, help people live longer, better lives and save money in health and social services." With case studies and research gathered over two years, the study focused on people suffering from all kinds of ailments (from depression to recovering from a stroke) who undertook various art classes over an eight-week period. The results were impressive: "A cost-benefit analysis showed a 37% drop in GP consultation rates and a 27% reduction in hospital admissions," according to The Guardian, where you can find out more.
Thirza Schaap's Plastic Ocean Photographs

Creating art that furthers awareness of ocean pollution, Dutch photographer Thirza Schaap collects trash from Clifton Beach, Cape Town and makes something quite pretty from it. Arranging various items (from straws to flip-flops) into sculptures, she then photographs the strange works of art, and the results are delicate-looking, pastel beauties. Schaap says it's frightening how much waste washes up on the beach. "I love the faded colors so much... But there's a contradiction between the attraction and repulsion," she says. "It made me realize what we've done." Read more about the series at i-D.

There's more to mobile housing units than the trailer category. As design writer Rebecca Roke notes in her new book "Mobitecture: Architecture on the Move" (published by Phaidon), everything from floating cabins to trampoline tents now exist—thanks to entirely inspiring developments. From suspended works like Dom'Up, by Bruno de Grunne and Nicolas d'Ursel (pictured here) to huts on wheels by Olson Kundig, these abodes remind one of the sometimes mobile nature of life—and the beauty of the outside world.
New Study Claims T-Rex Couldn't Run
via bbc.com
Forget everything "Jurassic Park" taught you: Tyrannosaurus Rex couldn't actually run. Using a computer simulation, scientists at University of Manchester have calculated that the large theropod probably got to top speeds of 20km per hour—thanks to its build. In fact, "had it moved from a brisk walk to a sprint, the dinosaur's legs would have snapped under the weight of its body." This also means that as they aged, T-Rex would probably get slower and slower—affecting its hunting tactics. Read more at the BBC.

Advancing the Ancient Lettering of the New York Times Nameplate
via nytimes.com
Even before the Gutenberg printing press, Gothic (also known as Blackletter) was a well-known letterform—with roots dating back to the 700s. Gutenberg would make it the first-ever font. And, centuries later, Henry Jarvis Raymond would use it in the nameplate of his newspaper the New-York Daily Times, today known as the New York Times. Since the paper's inception, the nameplate's received many tweaks—from dropping the hyphen and then the period to embellishing portions of individual letters. There's an extensive and fascinating history that's led to the nameplate of today. More information and plenty of images are available over at the Times.
Hillary Clinton's Unused Confetti is Now Art
via artnet.com
On view until 12 August, "Bunny Burson: And Still I Rise" (taking its name from Maya Angelou's book of poetry) is an installation that has made the unused confetti from Hillary Clinton's election night into a work of art. Burson tracked down the unused confetti—after being told it was likely in the trash—and turned it into a snow globe-like piece. Burson was at NYC's Jacob Javits Center on the night of the election and says "I was among her supporters... waiting for the symbolic shattering of the glass ceiling and the shard like confetti to fall down on us. We left the Javits Center at 2 in the morning with profound emptiness." In an effort to turn this into a message of hope, she says, "I wanted to fill that emptiness with hope by giving voice to my feelings that even in defeat, Hillary's confetti could be used to inspire the next generations of little girls and young women to dream big and to act on their dreams."

NASA Developing Nuclear Reactors for Mars
via trendintech.com
NASA is, once again, embarking on a large and expensive project—this time a $15 million endeavor to create nuclear fission reactors that would function on Mars. If and when humans reside on the Red Planet, they will need a power source for water, fuel and air, so NASA has built several 6.5-foot reactors that will soon be tested on Earth (other reactors have been tested in space). The reason for going with nuclear power is that solar power won't work on Mars, thanks to its distance from the Sun and frequent dust storms. Read more at TrendinTech.
Pairing Wine And Weed

Stereotypically, pot pairs well with ice cream, potato chips and cookies, but in the ever-evolving and growing world of cannabis, its reputation is being elevated in all ways. We've seen countless companies offer a more sophisticated take on marijuana over the past several years, and one of the newest delving into food and cannabis is the Sonoma Cannabis Company. They are offering "curated" farm-to-table dining experiences for which weed is paired with wine and food. But with this comes concerns regarding California's land, economy, tourism, traffic and more.

A Salem woman died Saturday night after police suspect her husband shot her during a domestic incident at their home.
Salem Police Chief Brad James said police responded to the couple's home in the area of 400 East and 300 South about 7 p.m. Saturday and found Teresa Scott, 47, dead of an apparent gunshot wound.
While an autopsy is pending, James said Sunday that police believe Tracy Scott, 47, used a firearm to kill her. Scott remained in the Utah County Jail on Sunday on suspicion of murder.
James said the Scotts had a history of domestic violence dating back a number of years, but police hadn't been called there in the last few years.
The couple have two teenage sons, but James wasn't sure if they were home at the time of Teresa Scott's death.

Osteoporosis, which means "porous bone," is a disease in which the bones gradually become weak and brittle. The condition often results in broken bones, or fractures -- especially of the hip, wrist, and spine -- even from simple activities like lifting a chair or bending over. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), about 34 million Americans have osteoporosis. Another 18 million have low bone mass and are at an increased risk for the disease. Osteoporosis is common among the elderly, but the disease can strike at any age. Although it is more common in older women, men can also have osteoporosis. One of every 2 women and 1 in every 4 men older than 50 years of age will have an osteoporosis related fracture in their lifetime.
Osteoporosis is a potentially crippling disease. Estimates from the NIH indicate that osteoporosis is responsible for about 2 million fractures annually. Fortunately, most Americans can avoid osteoporosis altogether by eating a well balanced diet, exercising regularly, and living a healthy lifestyle. That's important for young people, too, because you accumulate about 85% - 90% of your bone mass by age 18 or 20.
Osteoporosis is sometimes considered a "silent disease" because bone loss occurs without symptoms. In fact, many people don't know they have the disease until they break a bone. Osteoporosis can also cause a vertebra (one of the 33 bony segments that form the spine) to collapse. Signs of a collapsed vertebra include:
Your bone strength and density is partly due to how much calcium and other minerals they contain. Your body is constantly making new bone and breaking down (reabsorbing) old bone. When you are young, this process happens quickly. You make more bone than you lose, so you build bone mass. After your mid 30s, your body continues to make new bone, but more slowly, causing you to lose more bone than you make. The amount of bone you have in your 30s helps determine your risk of developing osteoporosis later. For women, bone loss increases significantly at menopause, when estrogen levels drop.
Other than age and menopause, causes of osteoporosis can include:
Osteoporosis can be prevented. Because your body builds bone mass until you are in your 30s, prevention should start early. Making sure you get enough calcium and vitamin D (required for your body to use calcium) is essential.
Weight bearing exercise, such as walking or lifting weights, as well as other exercises, including tai chi, can also help stave off the disease. Research has shown that exercise early in life boosts bone mass, while exercise later in life helps to maintain it. Exercise also increases strength, coordination, and balance. Experts recommend 1/2 hour of weight bearing exercise daily. These are important tools to help prevent falls that cause fractures, especially in the elderly.
Other techniques for prevention include:
If your doctor believes you are at risk for osteoporosis, he/she will order a bone mineral density test (BMD) to determine your bone mass. Several tests can measure bone density, and they are all painless, noninvasive, and safe. Some tests measure bone density in the spine, wrist, and hip (the most common sites of fractures due to osteoporosis), while others measure bone in the heel or hand.
The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends a BMD for women who are not taking estrogen and:
For those who are at risk for osteoporosis or already have the disease, current treatments are designed to boost bone mass and prevent (further) bone loss. While calcium by itself doesn't cure or prevent osteoporosis, getting enough calcium is an essential part of any prevention or treatment program. Making lifestyle choices, such as eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and doing weight bearing exercises can also enhance bone strength.
Studies suggest that diets rich in the following foods and nutrients may help prevent bone loss in both men and women:
Exercise can help prevent bone loss. Although it is best to begin exercising when you are young (to help build bone), it's never too late to get the benefit. Weight bearing exercise (walking, weight lifting) stimulates bones to produce more cells, slowing bone loss. Exercise also improves balance, flexibility, strength, and coordination -- thereby reducing falls and broken bones associated with osteoporosis.
The standard treatment for osteoporosis for postmenopausal women used to be estrogen, but there are new options for men and for women who are wary of estrogen's risks. Most medications slow down the rate at which bone is reabsorbed (antiresorptive). One drug can help the body make new bone (bone forming).
A procedure called kyphoplasty can be used to treat kyphosis, the humplike deformity sometimes caused by osteoporosis. A catheter inserts a balloon into the middle of a collapsed vertebra and then expands so that height of the vertebra is restored. The surgeon then injects bone cement into the vertebra to hold its shape. Vertebroplasty is another procedure in which cement is injected into the vertebra to reinforce it.
Eating fruits and vegetables and consuming adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D are crucial in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Keeping bones healthy throughout life depends on getting enough of specific vitamins and minerals, including phosphorous, magnesium, boron, manganese, copper, zinc, folate, and vitamins B12, B6, C, and K. Avoiding sodium, alcohol, and caffeine will also enhance bone health.
Calcium -- Calcium helps the body build bone. Recommended intakes of calcium are as follows (note that you generally get from 500 - 700 mg of calcium in your diet):
The recommended intake for older women is 1,500 mg/day, except for those on estrogen, who need only 1,000 mg/day.
Good dietary sources of calcium include:
If you do not get enough calcium from food alone, you may want to take a calcium supplement. There are several different kinds available. Ask your doctor which one is right for you:
Calcium supplements should be taken in divided doses during the day, because your body can only absorb 500 mg of calcium at a time. Work with your doctor to make sure you get enough, but not too much, calcium.
Vitamin D -- In order to absorb enough calcium, your body also needs vitamin D. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends the following:
Vitamin K (150 - 500 mcg) -- Vitamin K, which the body makes in the intestine, helps bind calcium into bone. A recent study suggests that at menopause, vitamin K may start to lose its ability to bind calcium, so that even women with normal levels of vitamin K may not have enough to maintain bone health. Eating 3 servings of low fat dairy or dark, leafy greens per day can help. Talk to your doctor about whether you need a supplement, especially if you take blood thinning medications (diuretics).
Soy isoflavones -- Isoflavones are phytoestrogens, plant chemicals that have some of the same effects as estrogen. Because estrogen helps protect against osteoporosis, researchers theorize that isoflavones may also help stop bone loss. Studies are conflicting, however. The best source of soy isoflavones is through your diet (tofu, soy milk, soybeans); when isoflavones are eaten in foods, they don't appear to have the same negative effects that supplemental estrogen does. If you have a history of hormone related cancer, talk to your doctor before taking soy. Soy contains phytic acid, which may block the aborption of calcium and other critical minerals.
Ipriflavone (600 mg per day) -- Ipriflavone, a synthetic isoflavone derived from natural isoflavones found in soy, red clover, and other food sources, may also help prevent and treat osteoporosis. Most studies -- though not all -- indicate that ipriflavone, when combined with calcium, can slow bone loss and help prevent fractures of the vertebrae (spine) in postmenopausal women. Talk to your doctor before taking ipriflavone.
Omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in fish oil (4 g per day) -- A few studies have shown that supplements containing essential fatty acids, such as those found in fish oil, can help maintain or possibly increase bone mass. Essential fatty acids appear to increase the amount of calcium your body absorbs, diminish the amount of calcium lost in urine, improve bone strength, and enhance bone growth. Foods rich in essential fatty acids (including coldwater fish, such as salmon) can help raise the amount of essential fatty acids in your diet. People who are taking blood thinning medication (anticoagulants) should not take fish oil supplements without talking to their doctor first.
Preliminary studies also suggest that the following nutrients may help prevent or treat osteoporosis:
(See the "Warnings and Precautions section" for a list of supplements that people with osteoporosis should avoid.)
Although most herbs have not been studied extensively for the treatment of osteoporosis, some have estrogen like effects that might offer protection against bone loss. However, they may also carry some of the same risks as supplemental estrogen. Talk to your doctor before taking any of these herbs.
Other herbs that may help prevent or treat osteoporosis (evidence is lacking so far) include:
Some studies suggest that too much vitamin A may increase the risk for osteoporosis. People with osteoporosis, or those at risk for it, should not exceed the daily recommended intake of vitamin A (900 mcg/day for men and 700 mcg/day for women).
Certain medications may contribute to the development of osteoporosis when used for long periods of time:
Talk to your doctor if you take any of these medications.
Bone fractures are the most common complications of osteoporosis and are a significant cause of disability and death. After age 60, 25% of women have a spinal fracture -- and that percentage doubles after age 75. By age 90, 33% of women and 17% of men have had a hip fracture, usually from a minor fall or accident. Many elderly people who suffer a hip fracture lose the ability to walk and, most significantly, up to 36% die within one year.
Although about 2 million bone fractures in the U.S. each year result from osteoporosis, most are preventable. Several medications are currently being researched that may expand the treatment options available to people with osteoporosis. In the meantime, a combination of medications, diet, exercise, and calcium and vitamin D supplements can help slow the progression of the disease.

Nearly a year before starting, La Salle had sent up the lakes fifteen men to trade for furs.
This great event gave a new impulse and a new direction to the ambition of La Salle.
La Salle, with his brother Cavalier and one or two others, got on.
The governor furnished La Salle with letters to the minister which would secure for him a respectful reception.
In 1680 La Salle, returning east, passed the site of his ruined and abandoned fort.
The sublime plan which La Salle thus proposed, could only be carried into execution by the continuous labors of many years.
La Salle instantly called all his force to arms, that he might be prepared for any emergence.
La Salle returned to Canada full of bright dreams for the future.
It is, Charley; and you will not let the caprice of a girl separate me from my friend—will you, La Salle?
The young man was taken into a cabin adjoining that which was occupied by La Salle and Galinee.

Winemaker Joseph J. Wagner is a fourth-generation winemaker from a family with farming and winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since 1906. The name Belle Glos (pronounced BELL GLOSS), honors Joseph's grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, a co-founder of Caymus Vineyards. View all Belle Glos Wines
About Central Coast
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

As expected, Peyton Manning's absence from the practice field was a short one. Manning returned to limited practice on Thursday after taking a day off to rest his recently aggravated high-ankle sprain. He will start against the Chiefs on Sunday night.
Fantasy Analysis:
Manning admitted that his ankle was sore following Sunday's win over the Chargers, but after his Monday MRI didn't reveal anything significant, there was no doubt that he would be playing as usual in Week 11. Expect Manning to go through another limited practice on Friday, but he is an easy top-five fantasy quarterback this week. The Chiefs' defense has been beaten for big plays down the field by Jason Campbell, Case Keenum , and Jeff Tuel in recent weeks.

|[drink]This weekend Elizabeth and I went to Weekend Wine School at Chelsea Wine Vault in NYC. We learned so much about wine and the fun accessories that go along with it. Our favorite was the Tote + Able Wine and Moonshine beverage Canvas Tote. The outside is canvas the inside is a BPA proof liner with a spout to drink out of. It holds a 750 ml bottle of wine! Great for days at the market, concerts, or any time you're out and about.

Torque 2.5.9 Maui 3.3.1 I am having an issue with a priority job not getting a reservation. When I set reservation depth to 2, the second priority job does get a reservation though. The cluster has 3552 core available for the queue it is submitted to, at the moment they are all in use. Since the jobs has the highest priority, it should start reserving nodes (and it does try.) When i change the RESERVATIONDEPTH to 2, the second highest priority job does get a reservation, though this is a much smaller job. Perhaps I am misunderstanding how these reservation work. If there a timefram in which it has to reserve nodes? We don't have a size limit on jobs and the cluster does have the resources for this job. Does anyone know what may be going on here? We have this type of workflow where some people send it very large jobs, and some small so I would like to figure out what is happening. Do you have any good strategies to deal with the type of workflow? Here is the checkjob output and as you can see, it isn't requesting any resources other than cores.

There have been major changes in our society which have brought new stresses to family life. The family is a system and good family therapy recognizes that you cannot understand a family by analyzing the family members individually. My work is an interdisciplinary effort to help families. I meet the family members with acceptance and empathy and begin with what is the most troublesome issue for them presently. My style combines a Jungian approach with its vast collective unconscious and the multiplicity of its archetypes with an understanding of the complex web of interlocking meanings within the family. We explore multiple issues such parenting, managing the home, separation and divorce, car....
