We received this press release last week about the new collaboration wine by the winemakers at Pollak Vineyards, King Family Vineyards, and Veritas Vineyards. We are looking forward to tasting this one!
We received this press release last week about the new collaboration wine by the winemakers at Pollak Vineyards, King Family Vineyards, and Veritas Vineyards. We are looking forward to tasting this one!
We started our evening with the 2009 Chardonnay from King Family. We paired it with some parrano cheese and a baguette. On the nose we noted pear and a twist a lemon. In the mouth we noted pear, a hint of granny smith apple, creme brulee, and a weightier mouth feel with a lengthier finish. We also noticed the clear straw color. It went well with our nibbles.
For dinner Warren selected the 2007 Petit Verdot from Gadino Cellars. I had a steak and Warren had herb crusted lamb chops. We also had roasted vegetables and pearl pasta. On the nose we got concentrated fruit, anise, and a streak of minerality. In the mouth we noted similar characteristics as well as a black pepper, longer finish with a vanilla ending. As with most 07 red vintages from Virginia decant first. And that's exactly what we did. We thoroughly enjoyed it and Warren used the word "lovely" more than once.
What Virginia wines are you enjoying this weekend?
Not to be outdone by Paul, I've decided to present my own favorite wine of the week, and that would be the Sunset Hills Cabernet Franc Reserve from the outstanding 2007 vintage. I last sampled this one back in March of 2010, and I can say that it has gotten even better over time. It presented a nice dense color in the glass and a smoky nose that included aromas of concentrated dark fruit and spice. Lush and complex, I noted flavors of dark plum, dark cherry and blackberry along with complements of tobacco and pepper. Aging in both French and American oak barrels for 18 months made for a lengthy finish. I nursed a glass for an entire evening and noticed that it softened considerably with some air time. If readers still have a bottle of this one on their wine racks, consider aging for a little longer; however, the enclosure is synthetic, and I've grown to distrust the ability of these to keep wines from spoiling or aging properly. Do enjoy with any braised meats, steaks or roasts; be sure to serve with roasted veggies, too.
We have not done a tasting of current releases at Sunset Hills since last fall, so we are certainly due for a visit. If you get there before we do, mention that Virginia Wine Time sent you.
The temperature changed today back to a more wintery level. With wintery weather in the forecast, I was looking for a red to sip for the evening. I have lots of reds to choose from but most of them I would need to have food. I was just looking for a sipper. I picked the 2009 Cabernet Franc from Blenheim Vineyards. I know I just posted about them last week but I do enjoy their wines and have several of them on my rack. While the 2009 Cabernet Franc would go beautifully with food, it doesn't have to. That's one thing I like about it. You can just sip it.
After cracking open the screw cap and pouring a glass, I noticed smoke and some light fruit on the nose. The first sip revealed some green pepper, a very slight hint of cherry, herbs, and a tart finish. After a few swirls and a little air, I noticed a floral quality that I haven't noticed before. This cab franc spent 6 months in French and Appalachian barrels. I'm not familiar with the characteristics that come from Appalachian barrels. Maybe some of the qualities I'm noticing come from these barrels. In any case, I enjoyed the 2009 Cabernet Franc from Blenheim Vineyards. Blenheim is one of my favorite wineries and really enjoy the direction Kirsty is going with her wines. Visit Blenheim soon and tell Kirsty Virginia Wine Time sent you!
On our recent visit to Charlottesville we planned to stop at Blenheim Vineyards to catch up with Kirsty Harman and to taste the newest wines. We last visited Blenheim in August so most of the wines we tasted were new. We were lucky to have Kirsty conduct our tasting.
The whites started with the wonderfully crisp and fruity 2009 Blenheim Farm Chardonnay. This was my kind of chardonnay. While tasting I jotted down honeysuckle, tropical fruit and a nice soft finish. The 2009 Blenheim Farm Chardonnay received my gold star for the whites. We then tasted the 2009 Painted White. This is a blend of viognier, rousanne, and marsanne. We noticed melon, spice, and honey and a creamy finish. Warren suggested this would make a perfect winter white wine. The last white was the non-vintage What Table Wine. This one is 100% chardonnay aged five months in French and American oak. It also has a very low .6% RS. We noted apple, pear, and citrus flavors. Warren noted the nice texture and thought this one would go well with spicy foods. Before moving on to the reds we tasted the 2009 Rose. Don't let the salmon color fool you. This is a nice crisp, fruity rose. We enjoyed the melon and strawberry flavors. We know this one is perfect for warm days. We usually take it with us to Wolf Trap concerts.
The first of the reds was the non-vintage Red Table Wine. This is a blend of merlot, malbec, syrah, and cab franc. It's aged in stainless steel. No oak on this one! Right away we noticed how much this one reminded us of a Beaujolais. It was bright and fruity with hints of violet, cherry and plum notes…a perfect pizza or burger wine. Next up was the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon. This one is a blend from two vineyards. We noted raspberry and plum flavors. The 2009 Syrah was next. This one is 86% syrah with 10% mourvedre and 4% grenache. We noted cherry on the nose and on the tongue with some black pepper. We haven't tasted very many syrah's in Virginia but we think this is one of the best. Last up on the tasting sheet was the 2008 Cabernet Franc. We noted cherry, smoke, cranberry, and a nice finish. With the regular tasting complete, Kirsty suggested we try some others that were not on the regular tasting sheet. Of course we said we'd love to try them. We were able to taste the 2009 Seven Oaks Merlot. This one was part of the Taste Live event late last year. We enjoyed this one but only after having it open for some time. It needs time to breath. Giving it some oxygen brings out the flavors. If you have a bottle of this one, open it and walk away. Come back in three hours and you'll love it. We also go to taste the 2009 Petit Verdot. This one quickly became my favorite of the day. It received my gold star for the reds. I noted some dark red fruit with a smooth mouth feel and a bit of spice and smoke. LOVE IT!
Kirsty then asked if we wanted to taste a few things still in the barrel. She had to twist our arms but we obliged. We got a sneak peek of the 2010 Rose right out of the tank. OMG! Beautiful color, pink roses on the nose; strawberry and cranberry in the mouth. This is going to be an amazing rose. We can't wait to get some in the bottle. Kristy then let us taste two different barrels of syrah. She's not sure what she'll do with them yet but the second one really stood out as special. We then tasted a barrel with grenache and mourvedre blended together. She's not sure what she's going to do with the barrel but wants to see where it's going.
We always enjoy our time at Blenheim Vineyards. Kirsty is so full of wine knowledge and is always willing to share it with us, as well as all her wines! I left with a case of Blenheim wines. Half of the case was the 2009 Petit Verdot! The next time you're in Charlottesville, plan a trip to Blenheim Vineyards. You will thoroughly enjoy the wines. And them them Virginia Wine Time sent you!
It's that time of year when we go to Naked Mountain Vineyard and Winery to enjoy lasagna and wine. Which wine did we enjoy with lasagna? Well, to figure that out we had to complete a tasting of wines at the tasting bar, of course!
The 2006 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay and the sweeter Chardonnay Riesling were the two white wines offered for tasting. My favorite was the Barrel Fermented Chardonnay with its aromas of pear and vanilla; I also enjoyed its creamy mouth feel. Paul preferred the fruity characteristics of the Chardonnay Riesling, and I think he had visions of a warmer spring day and a refreshing fruit salad when he savored this one.
Speaking of food, we certainly had lasagna on our minds when we sampled the red wines. The Rhone-inspired 2006 Scarlet Oak Red earned my stamp of approval. Created from a blend of 45% Syrah, 45% Mouvedre, and 10% Tannat, it presented a smoky nose with cherry and raspberry aromas with a whiff dried herbs to boot; similar flavors with a toasty edge were evident in the mouth. Paul, however, was more inclined toward the newly released 2007 Raptor Red, a blend of Tannat (31%), Merlot (30%), Petit Verdot (20%) and Cabernet Franc (19%). Darker fruit elements abounded here with a smoky/earthy nose. I concurred that this blend offered a bolder, more complex wine; from the 2007 vintage, it will only improve with time.
So with lasagna on the way, we settled on a glass of our favorite red wines; I enjoyed a glass of the 2006 Scarlet Oak Red, and Paul sipped the 2007 Raptor Red. As we sipped and nibbled, we met cellar master Brooke Walter who hinted at exciting possibilities for the upcoming releases. She was particularly enthusiastic about the possible release of a stand-alone Malbec. Brooke also assured us that new owners Randy and Meagan Morgan were commited to maintaining the strong winemaking tradition at Naked Mountain Vineyards. Needless to say, we promised to return in the near future to sample new releases at Naked Mountain Vineyards and Winery.
We should also mention that the sausage lasagna is amazing at Naked Mountain, so plan to enjoy a lasagna lunch with a glass of wine at Naked Moutain Vineyards and Winery. Please mention that Virginia Wine Time sent you.
On Sunday we attended the annual Cabernet and Chocolates event at Gray Ghost Vineyards. We always have a great time enjoying chocolates and all the red wines. We got to see some of our favorite wine friends. We also got to taste the new 2010 Riesling! It was delicious! Here are some pictures from the event.
Just recently we visited Blenheim Vineyards (more details to come) and picked up a few bottles of the White Table Wine. I decided we would begin our evening with this wine.
The White Table Wine from Blenheim VIneyards is 100% chardonnay.On the nose we noted pear, floral notes, peach, and stone fruit. In the mouth we noted stone fruit, peach, apricot, and a nice round mouth feel. We had this with goat cheese and baguette. It was a perfect pairing with our evening nibbles.
For dinner we were having parmesan encrusted tilapia with wild rice and mixed vegetables. We opted for the 2009 Viognier Water Bent Barrels from Breaux Vineyards from the Wine Club Selection. Right away we noticed the very light color. On the nose I wrote down light airy fruit. Warren noted floral qualities with some ripe fruit. In the mouth we noted floral notes, hints of honeysuckle, mango, apricot, and a nice mouth feel. It was very crisp and paired very well with our meal. We also noticed that as this one warmed up in our glasses, the flavors were much more pronounced. We really enjoyed this bottle of wine!
This evening we started with the 2007 Chardonnay from Flying Fox Vineyards. We haven't been to Flying Fox for a few years. We had this with some nice goat cheese and baguette. On the nose we got pear and melon. In the mouth we got pear, and a crisp finish. We thought this was a very good pairing with our goat cheese and baguette. We thought it was an easy sipper that would go well with most before dinner nibbles.
Our dinner wine was the 2002 Kluge Estate New World Red. We had this with big, fat steaks and roasted potatoes. We noted blackberry, dark cherry, and anise on the nose. On the tongue we noticed blackberry, tobacco, integrated tannins, and a smooth lengthy finish. We also noticed the dense garnet color. While we know the fate of Kluge, we thought we should probably have kept this one on the rack for a few more years. Instead we went ahead and enjoyed it with this meal. It was quite lovely and we enjoyed it very much.
While we were in Charlottesville last weekend for the sparkling tasting at Keswick, we planned to stop by a few of our favorite wineries to check out the latest releases. Pollak Vineyards was at the top of my list. It was our first stop on our Charlottesville trip. We are always greeted like family when we visit Pollak. All our favorite tasting associates recognize us and great us with a smile.
Most of the wines we tasted this time were new. We started our tasting with the whites. First up was the 2009 Chardonnay. We tasted this one in the barrel back in March of 2010 and enjoyed it then. I loved it even more this time. We noted pear, green apple, and some nice minerality. I knew I'd be leaving with some of this one. We followed this one with the 2008 Chardonnay Reserve. I noticed citrus notes with a smooth, round mouth feel. The final white was the 2009 Durant White. I really enjoyed the 2008 Durant White and knew I'd enjoy this one as well. I picked up pear, and lime. This is a great sipper for before dinner nibbles. It's a blend a three different whites. Again, I knew I'd be leaving with a few bottles of this one. I was disappointed they were sold out of both the viognier and the pinot gris. We'll have to return in the spring when they are released.
The first of the reds was the 2009 Durant Red. This is a cabernet franc, merlot blend. This one was probably the biggest surprise of the tasting. We didn't remember tasting it before. The color was beautiful and we noted lots of ripe, red berry fruit. It reminded us (as the tasting sheet notes) a beaujolais. We think this one would make a great pizza or burger wine. Another one to add to the list! THe 2008 Merlot was next. With this one we noted dark cherry, blackberry, and a full mouth feel. The 2008 Cabernet Franc spent 14 months in oak and presented cherry, jam, and black pepper. The last red was the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon. Since the petit verdot is sold out, this was the biggest red on the tasting. We noted lots of big cherry, dark fruit, and a lingering finish. That finish makes you want more.
With our tasting complete, we had a glass of the 2009 Durant Red by the fire while deciding how many bottles of each wine to bring home. I settled on a mixed case with mostly the 2009 Chardonnay. I completed the case with the Durant White, Durant Red, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. I have always enjoyed Pollak Vineyards wines. The wines are consistent across the board. Jake Busching is a talented winemaker. I look forward to returning in the spring to taste the viognier, pinot gris, and the petit verdot. If you visit Pollak Vineyards anytime soon, please tell them Virginia Wine Time sent you!

My JavaScript is very rusty, but can't you assign variables to these
properties to be interpreted at runtime? This is the problem--do you
just restrict to these properties as strings? I don't know how common it
is to use hard-coded URLs versus variables...

We should probably take this to htdig3-dev. This sounds like a job for
an external parser, but I imagine running the binary file through the
command-line program "strings" would be useful.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Euro zone governments are considering inserting a "review clause" into their agreement on the direct recapitalisation of banks so that they can reverse or renegotiate the deal in the coming years, officials have told Reuters.
Under the proposal, governments would be able to review direct recapitalisation - one of the most hard-fought-over principles of the debt crisis - after 10 years, once a single euro zone bank resolution fund (SRF) is in place.
The discussion shows how far policymakers have moved on from the height of the crisis in mid-2012, when the idea of direct recapitalisation helped calm volatile markets.
Inserting a review clause would mark another victory for Germany. Although it initially came up with the idea of direct recapitalisation, it has since grown concerned about German taxpayers having to stump up for banks in other countries.
The review clause is the initiative of Germany and Finland but is supported by several other states, officials say.
"Germany and Finland told other euro zone countries last week they would like direct bank recapitalisation to be in place only for 10 years, starting from the date the SRF is set up," a euro zone official with knowledge of the talks told Reuters.
Leaders agreed in 2012 that the euro zone's bailout fund, the ESM, must have the option of directly buying a stake in a bank to break the 'doom loop' that binds indebted governments to
the unstable banks they are trying to prop up.
Despite German opposition to direct recapitalisation, all euro zone ministers agreed last June on guidelines for when the 500 billion euro ESM would be allowed to buy a stake in a bank.
However, they decided to wait until the passage of a new EU law on bank recovery and resolution before turning those guidelines into a legal text.
With the law on bank resolution agreed last month, and talks underway on building a 55 billion euro bank resolution fund over the next 10 years, the ministers now want to finalise the guidelines on direct recapitalisation.
Another official said Germany and Finland had support since ultimately there may be no need for the ESM to directly recapitalise a bank. New "bail-in" rules state that shareholders, bondholders and even large depositors in banks will be first in line for any bank rescue, not taxpayers, making direct recapitalisation potentially unnecessary.
"After the full bail-in laws are in effect and enforced in every case and the SRF is fully funded, there should be very little need left for the use of the ESM direct recapitalisation tool," the second official said.
"After the SRF is complete...it should be a more theoretical possibility at that point."
Yet while there is a push to insert a 10-year "review clause" on direct recapitalisation, finance ministers are unlikely to agree on scraping the possibility of direct recaps altogether - a so-called "sunset clause".
"There may be a review clause, but there will not be a sunset clause," a third policymaker said.

Cycloaddition of 1,4-dimethyl-2,3-dimethylenehexahydropyrazine to electron deficient alkenes.
In: Tetrahedron (Tetrahedron), Jg. 56 (2000), Heft 25, S. 4157 - 4162
2000Artikel/Aufsatz in ZeitschriftChemie
Cycloaddition of 1,4-dimethyl-2,3-dimethylenehexahydropyrazine to electron deficient alkenes.
Kniep, Carina Sofia; Boese, RolandLSF; Sustmann, Reiner
The mechanism of cycloaddn. of 1,4-dimethyl-2,3-dimethylenehexahydropyrazine to moderately and highly electrophilic alkenes is probed by stereochem. studies. Retention of configuration for the E/Z-isomeric alkenes fumaro- and maleonitrile and loss of stereospecificity for di-Me dicyanofumarate and di-Me dicyanomaleate show that the mechanism of cycloaddn. (concerted or stepwise) depends on the gap between nucleophilic and electrophilic character of the reaction partners. The behavior of 1,4-dimethyl-2,3-dimethylenenehexahydropyrazine follows that of other amino-substituted dienes.

What I think we could/should do about that for 8.4 is to improve the HINTs associated with the impending-wraparound warnings in varsup.c, so that they mention cleaning out old prepared transactions as another thing you might need to do. A more extensive solution --- in particular, adding warnings that occur at some lower threshold than the wraparound warnings --- seems to me to require more changes than we should consider post-beta.

Comments on Poll: Obama leads Romney 45-41 in Florida TypePad 2012-06-27T13:05:43Z Miami Herald http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/ tag:typepad.com,2003:http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/2012/06/poll-obama-leads-romney-45-41-in-florida/comments/atom.xml/ Brittanicus commented on 'Poll: Obama leads Romney 45-41 in Florida' tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017615ea4404970c 2012-06-29T00:50:35Z 2012-06-29T00:50:44Z Brittanicus http://profile.typepad.com/carracticus ILLEGAL ALIENS WILL BE ARRIVING HERE IN THE MILLIONS FOR FREE HEALTH CARE. HERE is a summary of the Constitutional...

 ILLEGAL ALIENS WILL BE ARRIVING HERE IN THE MILLIONS FOR FREE HEALTH CARE.

HERE is a summary of the Constitutional TEA PARTY ideology, which from its inception has advocated a halt to illegal immigration that Democrats, Liberals or Republicans pay lip service too. Since the 1986 fraudulent amnesty illegal immigrants and migrants has poured into America, through a border that still remains porous. The television broadcasts of CNN, ABC and other stations always show the huge steel reinforced fences between Mexico and the United States. This is misleading as further along the demarcation between two countries, there is nothing more than a few thin strands of rusty barbed wire. Go to 'AMERICAN PATROL, to be enlightened about the true length of the border fence and other details. For every Democrat, Liberal or Republican incumbent in office, we need to replace with a honest fresh face TEA PARTY leadership. We must stop President Obama's 'Tax and spend" epidemic or Mitt Romney potential to press for better advantages for Wall Street and financial institutions.

Just today with the stunning news the Supreme Court in supporting ObamaCare, could be yet another nail in America's economic coffin. This is going to further encourage illegal alien absconders from poverty stricken countries, to bring their sick by international flight or through state borders ; people needing FREE treatment as an appendicitis to major surgeries, will arrive here and because of federal mandates American taxpayers will be further raped to pay for these unfunded mandates. Millions will try to slip through our Borders or fly into America, because of the Democrats and it's financially in our laps.

 IT is the Time of the PEOPLE'S PARTY. It is the time for the moderate TEA PARTY, not the far left or right. The TEA PARTY is complimented by man/women; African, White, Hispanic, Asian and other Americans of different nationalities. The TEA PARTY is a wealth of different religions, faiths, gay and ordinary people of every walk of life. Remember a large perpetual majority who votes for President Obama for a second term could are most liable none citizens or American citizens who spend their days watching TV, selling drugs, collecting public assistance, food stamps and living off the rest of us as parasites. These are the people who want something for nothing. THE TEA PARTY BELIEVES IN INDIVIDUAL CHOICE, NOT RELYING ON GOVERNMENT FOR EVERYTHING. Illegal aliens don't just come here for jobs but to pilfer state treasuries because elected officials have allowed this to happen. As an example of states in big trouble every month the Sanctuary State of California--as just naming one haven has a deficit of $15.7 Billion dollars, with over $1 billion dollars annually soaked up by illegal alien welfare and rising.

The exception is the sick and true disabled human beings, so think of their dilemma that taxpayer money should be assisting citizens, instead of illegal aliens. If you are frustrated with feeding the rest of the world, unable to get a decent job then join the TEA PARTY. The controversial immigration debate and the problems it has brought; it is a theft of your taxes. Obama's new the rules and regulations have been forced on American with its so called 'Political Correctness' along with its growing taint of a growing Socialism agenda impregnating young minds in the schools and universities. President Obama has placed obstacles to halt the extraction of valuable energy resources in a time of urgent need. This administration has squashed efforts to extract oil, natural gas and coal; that we could lower the expenditure from transportation and we could sell residual amounts to friendly foreign countries. The progressive's zealots in the environmentalist world have stopped the laying of oil pipelines from Canada to Texas, when America could be self sufficient and not relying on Saudi Arabia, and other foreign potentates. Shouldn't we become a creditor again, instead of a debtor to China and other investing countries?

This is the time when every American who believes in the 'Rule of Law' and steps forward to let their Senator or Congress person knows how you will vote. Bombard politician's aide, that you insist the lawmaker sponsor E-Verify and the Birthright Citizenship bill (H.R.140). NEITHER PARTY DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE THAT THIS COUNTRY IS BEING OVERWHELMED BY THE POVERTY FROM SOUTH OF THE BORDER, BUT ALSO A MAGNET TO MILLIONS OF PREGNANT WOMEN WHO ONCE ARRIVE HERE CAN STEAL THE WELFARE OF AMERICAN FAMILIES. ONCE SMUGGLED THROUGH THE BORDER OR STEP OF A PLANE, 400.000 ILLEGAL ALIEN MOTHERS ANNUALLY CAN REAP THE REWARDS OF CRIMINALLY ENTERING THE UNITED STATES. THIS PUBLIC HELP SHOULD BE GOING TO OUR OWN CITIZENS NOT TO EDUCATE FOREIGN CHILDREN ORE FREE MEDICAL CARE, THAT TAXPAYERS EVENTUALLY RECEIVE THE BILL.

Citizen voters should phone Congress at the central Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Insist YOUR CONGRESSPERSON TO accomplish their obligation to the oath of office and stop rewarding the businesses that use cheap labor or the pro-illegal alien lawmakers that are desperate for votes, no matter illegal or legal. By only voting for those who favor the TEA PARTY ideology is the veil of corruption going to be lifted from American politics. Use the power of your VOTE to demand politicians sponsor good policies or we are destined to become like Europe, besieged by the poverty from other countries.

First, an acknowledgment to the Aspen Daily News and Aspen Times editorials, Doug McMillin, Emzee, and the other authors who have lucidly written about the Basalt-O'Connor debacle.
It is mind boggling that we can know so much about, say, David Petraeus, former head of the CIA, and nothing save conjecture about the Basalt investigation. Hiding behind what hopefully will be found as questionable and legally unsustainable state laws has nothing to do with transparency. Shame on the Basalt Town Council and the police department. Luck and speed to the newspaper's investigation and legal team. May truth and justice prevail.
Trust is hard won and easily lost. It is the essential glue that holds together the fragile structure of a small community like ours. It is the by-product of honest and open communication as well as subsequently aligned actions. The complexities of a community require extra diligence to transparency and its attributes. As it now stands, the integrity of the current co-chiefs and the police department is not without question. Same for the council. They, and others, have some explaining to do if reparation is to be achieved.
Furthermore, I must at least suggest a slight level of collusion on O'Connor's part based on his words from The Daily News article: "I get that people are curious, but it's just the way it's going to be. It's a personnel matter, and [the secrecy] is meant to protect me, the town, everybody." We, those people he mentioned, get his attitude as both understandable yet unacceptable at a gut level — the one that really matters to the many of us.
So who really is the man behind the mustache? Roderick had some part in creating the ridiculous level of frustration, and the weakening of our town's fabric regardless of how good a job he did, and all the other worthy accolades bestowed upon him. This event has also adversely affected those up and down the valley. It is not an incident isolated to Basalt. That is true, unsettling and selfish.
Coins all have two sides — it is pathetic that we know neither. How did this incident get "top secret" designation? It certainly is not blessed with our clearance. It is enough to incite a riot, both of laughter and tears. Let's get real and get to the bottom of this mystery. We, the people, deserve it and need it to reestablish our community's equilibrium.

You should be able to create a standard ASP.NET Server Control to do this. Over the last few days I've converted most of my MonoRail View Components into ASP.NET Server Controls and this seems to work fine (so long as the control doesn't require postback).
You can create a customisable section/template by using properties of type ITemplate.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new senior adviser to President Barack Obama will recuse himself from deliberations on the Keystone XL oil pipeline, the White House said Wednesday.
John Podesta, a former chief of staff under President Bill Clinton, has spoken out against the pipeline, which would carry oil derived from tar sands in western Canada to refineries in Texas. Podesta founded the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank that opposes the pipeline.
Podesta's hiring cheered environmental groups, who say the $7 billion project would be a major contributor to global warming. They also worry about spills of tar sands oil, which is heavier than conventional oil.
Some Keystone supporters, including Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., expressed alarm, calling Podesta's inclusion in Obama's inner circle a possible death-knell for the pipeline. Backers say the project would create thousands of jobs and boost North American energy independence.
The White House says Podesta suggested that he not work on Keystone because his views are well-known.
Obama is expected to decide early next year on Keystone, which is under review at the State Department.
The White House said earlier this week that Podesta will serve a one-year post as counselor to focus on energy and climate change issues.

Response to
OK, Bikerscum, here is the deal
Hi OB
Thanks for speaking up on the scba valve thing. Having looked at the underside of a scba valve stem, many years ago, the wall looked very thin and the reduction in metal seemed in a word - catastrophic. I said before i believe folks simply needed to know a bit more than what was being said. I understand and respect your answers.
Playing devils advocate here something for users to think about -
Following the ISO specs is great and the valve may indeed be safe but was the performed work legal, was the work done in a legal DOT/OSHA approved fashion?
IF someone was hurt/killed with a modified valve would the user of the valve be guilty of negligence?
This isn't a personal attack or anything like that, i've shot with you in AZ and consider you a friend. I don't have a business selling scba tanks or valves and have never been a shill for any company. Safety is simply safety. Liability is just a fact of life.

Cigna Plans Aggressive Expansion for ACO-like Program
Cigna is doubling down on its commercial ACO strategy.
The insurer has accelerated the development of its collaborative accountable care (CAC) program. The CAC is Cigna's variation on the accountable care organizations (ACO) created as part of federal healthcare reform.
While ACOs focus on physicians and hospitals providing coordinated care to improve quality and lower the cost of care for Medicare beneficiaries, Cigna's version of the comercial ACO is an insurer-physician partnership that provides coordinated care to improve quality and contain healthcare costs across Cigna's commercial and Medicare Advantage books of business.
Leavitt Partners, a Salt Lake City–based health intelligence business estimates that there are currently nearly 200 commercial ACOs or ACO-like organizations at some stage of development. Aetna is one of them. Blue Shield of California is another.
Like Cigna's efforts, Aetna's ACO program is in its infancy but has plans for significant growth. It has 10 ACO agreements in place and expects to have 20 under contract by the end of 2012. It plans to develop a national ACO network over the next five years.
Cigna has fashioned the original ACO concept into a model that enables the insurer to use its extensive member database in a more formal care management relationship with selected physician partners.
The Connecticut-based insurer added 20 CACs this year, including 10 in July alone. Cigna now has 32 CACs covering 300,000 members in place in 16 states. Its goal is to have 100 CACs serving one million members in place across the United States by 2014, says Dick Salmon, MD, Cigna's national medical director for performance measures and improvement.

WILKES-BARRE - Erik McCray, 36, of Midland Court in Wilkes-Barre, pleaded guilty Thursday to stabbing his girlfriend during a dispute.
Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Thomas F. Burke is scheduled to sentence McCray on charges of aggravated assault and interfering with the custody of children at 9:15 a.m. Nov. 17.
City police said McCray in March stabbed Monique Murphy in the throat, liver and shoulder before taking three of his children from the home.
WILKES-BARRE - Colleen Wetherhold, 36, of West Butler Drive in Drums, Butler Township, was paroled Tuesday on charges stemming from the purse snatching of a 77-year-old woman.
Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Conahan ordered the parole after sentencing Wetherhold on Tuesday to the amount of time she served in prison on charges of robbery and delivery of a controlled substance.
State police at Hazleton said Wetherhold on Jan. 24 grabbed the purse from Margaret Stracka outside the Weis market in West Hazleton.
Wetherhold and another woman used money from the purse to buy drugs.
WILKES-BARRE - Mark Weston, 44, of East Clay Avenue in West Hazleton, pleaded guilty Tuesday to snatching a purse from a woman.
Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Toole is scheduled to sentence Weston on single counts of robbery and theft at 8:30 a.m. Oct. 25. Additional charges were dropped.
State police at Hazleton said Weston on March 13 grabbed the purse from Olga Duffy in the parking lot of the Pantry Quik on state Route 93 in West Hazleton. Weston said he needed money for food.
WILKES-BARRE - Neama Abdelmalek, 43, of West Butler Drive in Drums, Butler Township, entered a rehabilitation program on Tuesday for allowing her son to wander out of her home into 12-degree weather.
Abdelmalek entered the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program on a single count of endangering the welfare of children.
Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Conahan ordered Abdelmalek to serve one year in the program, pay costs and fees, perform 35 hours of community service, and complete anger management and parenting classes within 10 months.
The ARD program is offered to first-time offenders on minor offenses. A defendant who successfully completes the program is eligible to have his or her criminal record expunged.
Township police said Abdelmalek on March 10 left her 4-year-old son unattended at home. The child left and walked about a half mile in 12-degree weather.
WILKES-BARRE - Mark David Traver, 42, of Boland Avenue in Hanover Township, was sentenced Friday to the amount of time he has already served in prison to 23 months on child pornography charges.
Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Conahan also sentenced Traver to five years of probation on charges of possession of child pornography and dissemination of child pornography.
State and Hanover Township police said a man from Wisconsin, working for an agency that exposes online sexual predators, was in an Internet chat room posing as a 14-year-old boy in June 2004. Traver sent the man images depicting children engaged in sexual acts.
Traver later told police he had 30 to 35 images of naked children ages of 8 to 10 stored in his computer.
WILKES-BARRE - William Muchler Jr., 36, of Stanton Street in Wilkes-Barre, pleaded guilty Thursday to possession of child pornography.
Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Thomas F. Burke is scheduled to sentence Muchler on a single count of the charge at 9:15 a.m. Nov. 16.
State and Wilkes-Barre police said Muchler in 2004 had images of naked children stored on his computer.
WILKES-BARRE - Kasey Daniels, 19, of Riverview Manor in Pittston, pleaded guilty and was sentenced Thursday to the amount of time she had served in prison to one year for her role in a beating.
Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Thomas F. Burke sentenced Daniels on charges of simple assault and reckless endangerment.
Police said Daniels helped Mark and Clint Donovan beat a Philadelphia man with a hammer and flashlight at her home in February.
A jury this week found the Donovans not guilty of all charges in the beating. Daniels was previously charged with more serious charges, but they were dropped in exchange for her testimony against the Donovans.

Local Reality Show Strip Search to Hold Viewing Party Tonight in Tempe, Episodes Available Online Tomorrow
An attendee of the Strip Search casting call last summer.
Benjamin Leatherman
Wanna interact with some local exotic dancers without needing a fistful of cash? Strip Search, the locally produced reality show focusing on a group of Valley ecdysiasts and adult entertainers, is screening its pilot episode tonight in Tempe and a number of its cast members will be present.
The viewing party, which will take place at Mill Avenue's School of Rock, will also serve as a kickoff to Strip Search's first season, which the show's producers told Jackalope Ranch will be available only online, at least for the moment.

Some of the attendees of the Strip Search casting call last summer.

According to Strip Search producer Fat Hendrick, episodes of the reality show will be available starting Wednesday via the website stripsearchtv.com. Segments and teasers from each episode will be viewable for free, while entire episodes can be purchased and downloaded for $1.99 each. (The program also will be available via iTunes.)
Hendrick says that producers chose to take the show online after they weren't able to broker a deal with any TV networks or studios to air Strip Search.
A casting call was held last summer at local venue Stratus (see the photos from the event) that was attended by hundreds of Valley strippers. A pilot episode of the reality show, which involves a dozen or so dancers living at a Phoenix mansion and hanging out at local nightclubs, was filmed in the weeks that followed.
Armed with the episode and other footage, Hendrick and others behind the scenes of the show traveled to Hollywood but "didn't find a deal to their liking."
"It's really risky taking the show online," Hendricks says. "But there wasn't a ton of [networks] that were willing to give us what we wanted to make the show happen."
There were some interested parties, he claims, but the Strip Search crew wasn't satisfied with what they were offering.

"Although we had people into the concept and who wanted to work with us, we would have to give up so much in order to get in on a network," he says. "We wouldn't be in control. And on this kind of show, it's easy to go the wrong direction with it. They could conceivably buy and shelve it for two years, or they could shelve it and never do anything with it. Or they kill the show after two episodes."
An online-only version of the show seemed a safer bet, Hendrick says, especially given the growing popularity of downloadable or streaming content.
"Online views are going through the roof these days," Hendrick says. "More and more people are watching content on their computers or iPads or smart phone instead of on TV. It's fast becoming more about time-shifting and on-demand programming."
Episodes of Strip Search currently are being shot and will be released each week.
"The show's actually happening as we're putting it out," Hendricks says.
Many of the dancers who will be featured on the show, most of whom dance at Valley strip clubs, will at tonight's viewing party, including Hika, Maggie B., Erika, Cameron Lee, and Brittany.
Hendrick would give us only their stage names. Those in attendance at School of Rock who feel daring might have a better chance at getting them to divulge a little bit more about their backgrounds. Maybe.
The Strip Search Pilot Viewing Party takes place at 8 p.m. tonight at School of Rock in Tempe. Admission is free.

NAB chief executive Cameron Clyne says the credit rating downgrade of its British subsidiary Clydesdale Bank is "disappointing," citing better conditions in the business after a recent restructure.
In a review released late last week in Britain, ratings agency Moody's said the Clydesdale bank ''faces longer-term structural challenges from its weakened franchise and past risk-management/control weaknesses''.
Moody's cut Clydesdale Bank's long-term bank deposit and senior debt rating from A2 to Baa2 while cutting from Prime 1 to Prime 2 the rating attached to the bank's deposit and short-term debt.
Mr Clyne said in a statement that NAB continued to support Clydesdale, and the bank's performance was improving.
"The downgrade of Clydesdale Bank's credit rating is disappointing given that the restructure of the UK operations announced in 2012 is driving significant improvements in the business and NAB's support for Clydesdale Bank is unchanged," he said in a statement on Monday.
"Clydesdale has a smaller and stronger balance sheet following the transfer of the vast majority of its commercial real estate portfolio to National Australia Bank in October 2012, materially improving Clydesdale Bank's risk profile."
The review of the bank last year resulted in NAB cutting staff numbers in the United Kingdom - where it has been dogged by a series of bad commercial loans made before the global financial crisis.
In a trading update last Tuesday, the lender said bad and doubtful debts fell 10 per cent to $489 million in the latest quarter, led by better credit quality in Britain and its business banking division.
''The bank's franchise as a retail and selective business lender has been materially weakened, following a strategic pull-back from commercial real estate lending and other areas of business lending,'' Moody's said.
This followed continued losses that required NAB to inject capital as well as transfer £5.6 billion in property debt off the Clydesdale balance sheet.
NAB's intention of offloading the bank ''leaves Clydesdale in an uncertain position'', it said.
The changes under way following problems with Clydesdale Bank's risk management and governance, which brought about the problems with its property book, will take time to take effect, Moody's warned.
The bank's poor efficiency, as measured by the cost-to-income ratio of 70 per cent, is a prime reason for Clydesdale Bank's low profitability, it said. Cost cutting and redundancies would help to improve its operating efficiency.
''These reductions in footprint and scale of the business, which are being pursued to improve this efficiency, are not without execution risks, however,'' Moody's warned.

Crow Boy (original 1955; edition 2004)
by Taro Yashima
Work details
Crow Boy by Taro Yashima (1955)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Good theme of course, but it just didn't capture me at all, and I am not able to appreciate the artwork either. For example, if the theme supports the idea that everyone is special, why are all the other children anonymous blurs with missing features? And here's a discussion question - why did Chibi attend school all those years? He didn't learn anything academic - his talents relate to nature and creativity. I'm simply bemused.
I enjoyed reading this book, especially because it was my first introduction to multicultural literature in children's books. In my opinion, this is a great book for children to read. For example, if they are moving, transferring schools or from another country, this is an inspirational book to encourage them on their new journey. The language did seem as if it was a little advanced and for children who are not raised with much international knowledge some of the names, such as Chibi and Mr. Isobe, may be complicated to understand. The one aspect of the book that I do have mixed feelings on is the illustrations. They seem to incorporate Japanese tradition but they do not look as appealing to the eye. For this matter I do not think that they enhance the story. I do appreciate the lesson in this book and the triumph that Chibi faced in continuing to go to school even if he was frightened on the first day. It shows children to persevere through tough times, especially ones involving school, which is a commonality for younger students. I would recommend this book to be read to all children entering a new adventure to calm their nerves and encourage them throughout the way.
I enjoyed reading this book. I thought that the language and writing in this story were clear, descriptive, and organized. The characters were described very well as the author built the tension between the young boy and the other kids in the class. The classmates would constantly make fun of "Chibi" as they called him, because he was not very smart. At the end the tension was released when the boy was no longer being made fun of.
This book forces readers to look at a different perspective of things, especially in the classroom. Not all students are good at everything and sometimes you just need to find that "thing" that your students excels in. This teacher did just that to add a happy ending to the story. When it was time for the talent show, the students in the class learned that the boy was really good at crow noises and could make any sound that a crow could make. It also made the readers see that you never know what someone else is going through. This boy was so good at making crow noises because he walks from the other side of the mountain to school every day and night. When the students were told this they came to respect and appreciate their classmate more. I would recommend this story to anyone in the education field.
Respect the inherent worth of all....
Crow Boy - Taro Yashima
Response - Crow Boy is a book about a young student that is ostracized by the other students for seeming different. When he finds a teacher that can showcase his strengths and help other students understand his differences, this student gains confidence and the student body gains empathy. I loved this book, and believe it would be an important story to showcase a different culture while also finding bridges in cultural tendencies between a contemporary American classroom and a historical foreign classroom.

The Live+7 numbers for the second week of the season came out, and they're almost identical to those for premiere week, meaning that people established viewing habits and are sticking to them. Fringe, the second biggest gainer last week behind 90210, was No.1 this time, adding 45% to its Live+same delivery and rising to a 2.9 18-49 rating. Parenthood jumped 2 spots to No.2 with a 40.9% gain to a 3.1, while Gossip Girl slipped a notch to No.3 with a 40% boost to a 1.4. No change in the overall standings from Live+plus same day, with Glee remaining No.1 for the week with a Live+7 18-49 rating of a 6.9 for the Britney Spears episode, up 19%. Grey's Anatomy (6.4, up 28%) was second with the biggest net gain, 1.4 rating, and Modern Family (6.2, up 26.5%) was third. Like it did in premiere week, Hawaii Five-0 (16.8 million) added the most viewers, 3.3 million, followed again by CBS' The Mentalist (3.2 million) and Grey's Anatomy (3.0 million).
LIVE+7 RATINGS: 'Fringe', 'Gossip Girl' & 'Parenthood' Are Top Gainers In Week 2
3 Comments
Parenthood is a lot like Brothers/Sisters. The dramas are small and personal and there rarely is a wildly dramatic event that drives an episode. They are just very identifiable and likable characters. I am nearly out of the coveted demo but I think there is room on tv and viewers for show that tell a quiet story well and the ones that make you sit up and scream at the tv.
Brothers and Sisters is a guilty pleasure. People love it. Other than that there is nothing interesting on network. Loving Boardwalk Empire. Incredible. Would a network ever dare to make such a show?
Go 90210! I only watch for the nostalgia and that big blond boy. Have not got around to Boardwalk Empire as of yet and is Brothers and Sisters still on?????? Either way.

Funny story- a few weeks ago my sweet, innocent mother and I were at an antique market. We came across a booth with a neon sign in it that said, "GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS!" My mom, without any hesitation, says, "How cute would that be in a baby girl's nursery?!" I just looked at her in shock as I realized she had no idea that used to be the sign for a gentleman's club. For the rest of the day I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of the sign hanging above a newborn's crib.
Although I couldn't think of a reason to buy that sign, I have come across a few interiors that utilized neon signs and made me want to try it in my own house. Mixing it in with fine art creates a funny, playful juxtaposition:
If I were going to purchase a neon sign for my current bachelorette pad, I'd have to go for some lips:
Or maybe this one would be more appropriate...?
I don't think neon signs are just for bachelor pads and man caves anymore- as long as it isn't a Budweiser or Hooters sign- in that case, it should definitely stay in the man cave.
{You can purchase your own custom neon sign here.}

Description of Research ExpertiseRESEARCH SUMMARY
We study protein synthesis. Protein synthesis consists of four steps; initiation, elongation, termination and recycling of ribosomes for new round of translation. In 1970, we discovered the recycling step and continue to work on this step. In prokaryotes, this step is catalyzed by two soluble factors, ribosome recycling factor (RRF) and elongation factor G (EF-G). Our lab discovered RRF (an essential protein for maintenance of bacterial life), and the gene for RRF (frr) (for review see (1,2). RRF is essential for maintenance of mitochondria in eukaryotes. Our recent work elucidated the structural aspects of the mechanism of the action of RRF at the atomic level (3,4). GTP energy is constantly required to keep the subunits separated under physiological ionic conditions (5). We have recently shown that RRF, together with other factors is involved in the rescue of the stalled ribosomes (6).
We have recently extended our work on the ribosome recycling step to eukaryotes. In yeast, there is no RRF homologue in cytoplasm and nothing was known about the ribosome recycling step. In 2010, we showed that eEF3 and ATP disassemble, and hence recycle, the yeast post-termination complexes (PoTC) (7). eEF3 was already known to be essential for peptide chain elongation in yeast but we found the second important function of this factor the ribosome recycling. We recently found that the order of events in the yeast recycling is that tRNA release, mRNA release and ribosome splitting (8).
The following is a short review of our past work. In 1963, we have discovered that specific tRNA binds to the complex of mRNA and ribosome. This finding was essential to decipher the genetic code (9). Regarding RRF, upon in vivo inactivation of RRF, the ribosome starts the unscheduled translation downstream from the termination codon. Crystal structure by X-ray crystallography as well as solution structure by NMR has revealed that RRF is a near perfect structural mimic of tRNA. Indeed, we found that RRF functionally mimics tRNA in that it moves in the inter-subunits space like tRNA does. However, the mode of RRF binding to the ribosome is different from that of tRNA. We also discovered arginyl-tRNA protein transferase in 1963(10). This enzyme is an essential for higher eukaryotes and involved in post-translational protein modification (11)

John Hart seems to have baseball connections everywhere, and the Atlanta Braves made their connection to him official Friday by hiring him as a senior advisor.
Hart spent the last eight seasons as a special advisor for the Texas Rangers, but John Schuerholz and Frank Wren offered him a spot in Atlanta when his contract expired.
"We are excited that we are able to add a senior advisor with John's resume to our baseball-operations staff," Wren said on braves.com.

Jay Z & Beyonce Aren't Struggling To Sell Concert Tickets
Billboard breaks the news that ticket sales for the On The Run Tour are pacing well despite rumors of low ticket sales.
A source close to the production of the tour reports otherwise to Billboard.
Sources close to the Live Nation-produced tour tell Billboard that, as of June 17, the tour has racked up about $86 million in ticket sales and is on a pace to gross close to $100 million from just 19 shows.
The source says attendance is on a pace to top 850,000 tickets sold, and a Live Nation rep confirmed to Billboard last night that the tour is indeed nearing that threshold.
That's a whopping nightly take of $5.2 million, and an average attendance of nearly 45,000 per show -- well more than two sold-out arena shows would generate in any given market. Numerous shows are sold out, and Live Nation cites "unprecedented" VIP and platinum ticket sales.
