Open Source Bootstrap on AIX = "RPM dependencies from hell" Fixed
nagger 100000MRSJ Comment (1) Visits (29620)
Installing Open Source on AIX systems can be a little .... um .... frustrating and I have just been round that loop with installing Ganglia the excellent Performance Monitoring tool to demonstrate it and actually use it too on my own servers. The hard bit is that for every Open Source program, that you want to install, there is 10 to 20 prerequisite packages that you need to install first and you go round this the loop four times as the prerequisites have prerequisites .... This has got known as the "RPM dependencies form hell" problem.
So here is what to do: Download the AIX Toolbox version of wget as this version has no prerequisites - phew! This will act as our RPM fetching tool.
Now the excellent techie Michael Perzl (who works hard on behalf of all AIX people wanting up to date Open Source packages) has come up with a way to list dependencies so you can download them all quickly (with wget) and then simply run one rpm command to install them all. He also compiles 100's of Open Source packages for us all and makes them available from his personal website. You can read more about this at Michael's website http
Note: The below websites are not from IBM and IBM takes no responsibility for them
In the below we use, as an example, the Apache 2.4 webserver. When writing this Apache 2.4.3 is the latest version - that will change with time.
Job done - Michael, you are a genius.
For Ganglia, I did the same for adding other things it needs:
For Ganglia itself - it is back to Michael Perzl's website http

Natural Resource Mapping Tool Being Launched in Wyoming
The Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center (WyGISC) at the University of Wyoming developed the database and website for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's newly released natural resources initial assessment tool.
A computer-based mapping tool for viewing the locations of a wide variety of wildlife habitats, big game migration corridors, federal/state/private land status, human structures such as towns, roads, oil or gas wells; and other features is now available through a comprehensive database on the Internet.
This landscape-level information, called the Wyoming Interagency Spatial Database and Online Management System (WISDOM,) is endorsed by the Western Governors' Association. Similar information will soon be available in all western states and is already available for Arizona, California and Montana.
"These special maps are valuable for anyone interested in wildlife, but particularly to companies looking to lay a pipeline or other means of transmission," says Kirk Nordyke, geographic information system coordinator for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. "The maps could also be useful for someone planning any type of project and wanting to know the type of wildlife habitat in the project area, as well as proximity of other projects, roads, streams, etc., so they will have a detailed snapshot of the land use and wildlife status they would deal with on the project."
WISDOM does not identify the location of individual private lands or owners' names, or specific wildlife sites, such as sage grouse leks, raptor nests or bear dens. The maps are not recommended as a public/private land guide for hunters.
WISDOM can be accessed at http://wisdom.wygisc.org. It includes a tutorial on its operation and what the system offers.
This month, WyGISC offers online workshops on how to use the system and its various applications. Enroll in the workshops at http://wisdom.wygisc.org. Workshops are offered Thursday, Aug. 16, noon-1 p.m.; Monday, Aug 20, 1:30-2:30 p.m.; and Friday, Aug. 24, noon-1 p.m.
Before its launch to the public, the WISDOM system was presented to agricultural and energy organizations, land management agencies and various other organizations during spring 2012.
Persons with questions about the system should email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Manure can be a valuable fertilizer if you store and use it correctly on your farm. But just how valuable? A recent University of Kentucky research project studied 10 cattle in a confined area for 200 days.
In that time period, the animals created an estimated 62 tons of manure. When compared to fertilizer prices the nutrient value of the manure was worth more than $2,100.
So maybe it's better to focus on the value rather than seeing manure management as a time-consuming hassle.

Genetically engineered foods have been available to consumers since the mid- to late-1990s. In fact, most of us have eaten food that contains ingredients from GMO crops without even knowing it.
So how do you know which foods contain a genetically modified crop as an ingredient?
Well, that's not so easy.
Many people would sum up their Thanksgiving experience by saying, "it was a feast." However, with most feasts there is the potential for leftovers and Thanksgiving is no different.
Many of us are acquainted with leftover turkey sandwiches, turkey enchiladas and even turkey potpie. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests the following as a means of reinventing Thanks-giving leftovers:
l Prepare turkey soup. Boil the carcass and add diced sweet potatoes, green beans and other vegetables.
The University of Kentucky, Kentucky State University and Purdue University are co-sponsoring the 2015 Goat and Sheep Webinar on Thursday, December 3, 2015 from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. The webinar will focus on herd health and production.
The Trimble County Cooperative Extension Service will be hosting this webinar session. Presentation schedule is as follows:
To ensure that foodborne illness isn't a guest at your holiday table, follow these tips from USDA when buying and preparing your turkey.
When buying a turkey, allow one pound per person. If you buy a fresh turkey, check the "sell by" or "use by" date to make sure that it really is fresh, and buy it only 1 or 2 days before you cook it.
Early winter is an optimum time to prepare your spring-calving herd for reproductive success. Adequate nutrition from about 50 to 80 days prior to calving is critical to maximizing a cow's ability to rebreed and maintain a 365-day calving interval according to Les Anderson, University of Kentucky Extension Beef specialist. A cow that gets inadequate nutrition or is thin at calving and breeding will take longer to come into heat and will require more services to conceive.
With the holiday season quickly approaching, many families are in the process of planning trips to visit family and friends. Unfortunately, the holidays can often be the most expensive time of the year to travel, especially if you are flying. Below are some travel tips that may help you save money during the holiday season:
Book early. If you have yet to book a hotel room or plane tickets, book soon. Booking airline tickets, rental cars and hotel rooms early is a great way to save money.

Few things say fall better than pumpkins. Whether you use them to cook, decorate or carve, chances are a pumpkin in some form or fashion will be a part of your seasonal celebrations. In fact, 80 percent of the U.S. pumpkin supply is available in October.
Here are some interesting facts about the season's favorite gourd.
Pumpkins originated in Central America and get their name from the Greek word pepon, which means large melon. Pumpkins are in the same family with cucumbers, squash, zucchini and melons.

Barnard College has both elected and standing committees. The Faculty Governance and Procedures (FGP) Committee appoint members of standing committees. Elected and Standing committees may be tripartite, composed of faculty members, administrators, and students designated by the Student Government Association. Unless specifically indicated, faculty typically serve 2 year terms on all committees. At the start of each academic year, all faculty should receive a request to indicate the three standing committees they prefer to serve on. The FGP uses the completed forms to assign faculty to standing committees.
Faculty in the Professional Practice series may be named to or elected to College committees in seats reserved for untenured faculty (i.e., Assistant Professors of Professional Practice) or tenured faculty (i.e., Associate Professors or Professors of Professional Practice), with the exception of the Advisory Committee on Appointments, Tenure and Promotion (ATP) and the Faculty Budget and Planning Committee (members of these two committees must be tenured, and in the case of the ATP, at least three must be full professors).[Resolution passed by the Faculty on April 3, 2000.]

If you advance the video to 10:50, you will see a close-up of the top of the rocket with greenery and water in the background. If you look closely behind and to the left of the rocket, you will see a bird magically appear out of nowhere and take a highly improbable flight path through the video frame. It appears to glitch twice and mysteriously has a new trajectory after each glitch. This takes place from 10:51 to 10:58.

Well, you have ammunition for that belief, that's true. I would say there is no reason to believe a video is undoctored these days, and different video artifacts reveal different types of video changes. Some are indications of pure CGI, some of augmented reality, some of frame painting/rotoscoping, morphing, etc. and combinations thereof.
We should really be paying attention to the differences and I appreciate the membership of this forum perpetually trying and making guesses and understanding what the majority of duped will be thinking. We are making a difference and changing the dialogue, and continuing to try to do so. And that means we have hope. Thanks y'all.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A SpaceX capsule returned to Earth on Wednesday with precious science samples from NASA's one-year space station resident.
Less than six hours after leaving the International Space Station, the Dragon cargo carrier plopped into the Pacific, a few hundred miles off the Southern California coast. SpaceX reported a good splashdown, with three red-and-white striped parachutes slowing the final descent.
The Dragon had been at the station for a month, dropping off supplies as well as an experimental, inflatable room that will pop open in two weeks. It was set free by the station's big robot arm.
British astronaut Timothy Peake bid farewell to Dragon on behalf of the station's entire six-man crew.
"Dragon spacecraft has served us well, and it's good to see it departing full of science," Peake radioed from 250 miles up. "We wish it a safe recovery back to Planet Earth."
Nearly 4,000 pounds of items fill the Dragon, including blood and urine samples from astronaut Scott Kelly's one-year mission. Kelly returned to Earth in March and has since retired from NASA. Researchers will use the medical specimens to study how the body withstands long journeys in space, in preparation for an eventual mission to Mars in the 2030s.
Also on board: a spacesuit that leaked water (!!)into an astronaut's helmet in January, forcing an early end to a spacewalk. Engineers want to examine the suit to see what might have gone wrong. Well, first I'd start by trying to get my head around how there's any water to leak in during a fookin space walk...
It is SpaceX's first return trip for NASA in a year. A launch accident last summer grounded the California-based company for months.
SpaceX's Dragon is the only station supply ship that returns to Earth. The other capsules — Orbital ATK's Cygnus and Russia's Progress — are filled with trash and burn up on re-entry.
It's the company's eighth return flight from the station since 2012.
The Falcon rocket that launched this Dragon back on April 8 is now in a hangar at Cape Canaveral, Florida — awaiting another flight.
Rather than getting dumped in the ocean as is customary for launch companies, the Falcon's first-stage booster flipped around after performing its job and flew to a vertical landing on a barge floating in the Atlantic. It was the first successful rocket touchdown at sea. A second booster touched down safely at sea last Friday following a satellite delivery.
SpaceX chief Elon Musk wants to recover and reuse his rockets to drive down costs.

A chance conversation while out on a record shopping expedition
birthed this split-zine, wherein memories of Lou Reed fandom (circa
Berlin no less!) segue gracefully into a tale of high school
misfits trying to turn a whole school onto the Violent Femmes.

The only clues given in the news story were that the soldier's name was N. E. Waring and the person he was writing to was Hilda McLeod. A short video with the story clearly shows Hilda's address as 126 Hampton Ave, Toronto Ontario. The couple want to return the letters and photos to a descendant and are asking for help.
How I wish I could see those letters and photos to pick out more clues and details but I decided to look for the author of the letters with the clues provided. A search of the online CEF database on Ancestry.com and on Collections Canada brought up the most likely candidate for the letter writer - Norman Edmund Waring of Carleton St. in Toronto. He gave his next of kin as Mrs. James Waring, same address as his, when he enlisted in December 1915.
Norman gives his birth date as February 1886 and that allowed me to find his birth registration on Ancestry. His parents are listed as James Waring and Bessie Waring and his place of birth, Ingersoll, agreed with the Attestation Papers.
No marriage record for Norman was found on Ancestry.com so I began a hunt for possible siblings of Norman. The 1891 census for Ingersoll reveals the family of
James Waring, 42 born Ireland
Bessie, 35 born Ireland
Henry, 12 born Ireland
Willie, 10 born Ontario
Albert, 8 born Ontario
Norman, 5 born Ontario
and Frederick 2 born Ontario
A later census record for 1911 shows one more son, Samuel, age 19 in 1911. The family is living at 279 Carleton Street in 1911. Henry, Norman and Fred are still at home with their parents and still single.
|1940 Voter's List
So I decided to trace Norman's brothers to find out if they married and left descendants
A search for Norman's brothers revealed the following:
Henry Waring was found on Ancestry.com on a Border Crossing Record in 1915 crossing at Buffalo New York. His birth place is given as Belfast Ireland. I could fairly easily trace the family backwards and in fact, discovered their names on a passenger list for the ship The Montreal arriving Quebec from Ireland in June 1880. But the couple who found the letters and photos want to give them to a descendant so I had to stay focused and trace down from James and Bessie, not back. Henry died in August 1933, never having married. He lived with his brother Norman at the Carleton Street address and in fact died in the house.
Willie (William Alexander) Waring went to Detroit Michigan in 1911 [Source: Border Crossing Records] He married Edith Boyd and had one known son, Roy Waring born Dec. 1900 in Sacremento California (Source: US Passport Application 1920). His son Roy's passport application dated 1920 states his father William is deceased. Roy died in 1969 in Los Angeles California but I've not yet found if he had children.
Albert (James Albert) Waring enlisted during WW1 in Nevada, USA. In January 1917 he is found on a list of individuals crossing from British Columbia to Marcus Washington. I have not yet hunted for Albert after 1917 so perhaps my readers will take on that task.
Frederick (John Frederick) Waring married Violet May Cridland in 1914 according to the online marriage registrations on Ancestry. I have not yet searched for further details on Frederick.
Samuel (Samuel Holt) Waring is found in the CEF database as enlisting in January 1918. He was single and living with his mother at the Carleton Street address. A marriage registration on Ancestry.com shows him marrying Jane Elizabeth Gardner in 1924. The last record I found for Samuel was a 1963 Voter's List for Eglinton Ontario. His wife "Jane" is with him. I found two children, both stillborn. I do not know if he and Jane had more children.
Searching for Hilda McLeod proved a little more challenging. I found a possible candidate living for Hilda, born in 1893 and living in Toronto in 1911 with her parents Dougald and Mary Ann, and marrying in Toronto in 1921. But not to Norman Waring. I do not know if this is Hilda of the letters.
Whatever the relationship between Norman and Hilda, they did not marry and so far I have not found a living relative of Norman E. Waring. Perhaps my readers can use their genealogy sleuthing skills to help bring these letters and photos home.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27, 2006 – A U.S. Air Force F-16 engaged in support of coalition ground combat operations crashed about 20 miles northwest of Baghdad today, and coalition and Iraqi forces killed two terrorists and detained 10 in separate operations Nov. 25 and yesterday, military officials reported.
The crash occurred at about 1:35 p.m. Iraq Time with one pilot on board. A board will be convened to investigate the incident, officials said. By mid-afternoon Eastern Time, officials had not released any information on the fate of the F-16 pilot. In Ramadi, coalition forces conducted a precision strike on insurgent forces after observing three men loading weapons from a known cache site into a vehicle yesterday. After establishing positive identification, coalition forces fired precision ordnance at the vehicle, killing two terrorists. One terrorist was seen fleeing from the scene. Elsewhere, soldiers of the 4th Battalion, 4th Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division, and Company D, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, detained 10 terrorist suspects and found a cache of improvised explosive device components near Taqa, a village on the banks of the Euphrates River southwest of Yusufiyah on Nov. 25. The 10 Iraqi males were caught attempting to place roadside bombs along a route the U.S. forces were traveling. Upon questioning, the group identified a cache site. The cache contained two pressure plates, three portable phones, four six-foot bundles of wire and a 300-foot roll of copper wire. The cache and detainees were seized as part of Operation Polar Black Diamond, a combined air assault into the former al Qaeda sanctuary about 20 miles southwest of Baghdad. In another operation, Iraqi army and coalition forces were dispatched to the scene of an oil pipeline fire just north of Mahmudiyah this morning and secured the area. The Iraqi army and coalition forces are at the site and will remain there to provide security and to prevent further injury or damage, officials said. Iraqi emergency responders are working to contain the fire. The cause of the fire is unknown and is under investigation, officials said.

About vrob
previous post is not by anonymous coward, was written by vrob.
Ok, fair enough. I almost didn't include "upon wider distribution" in my initial comment.
Perhaps these days they want to have the right to remake the film as well, but my understanding is that at least initially it started because there was a trend in which independent/low budget movies grossed more money than anyone thought possible after gaining a wider release through festival success and Hollywood wanted a piece of the action.
We aren't really disagreeing here. I am just thinking back to the late 80's early 90's rather than a recent film like District 9 - which was a great movie and I am glad they didn't remake it.
Big shout out for complexify!
I like publificate and publification. It may not be the best option, but it is less awkward than our other options and it is a great start!
Maybe I like it because it sounds similar to pontificate, I don't know. I don't really want to question why I like it; I just do.
These testimonials, heart-breaking as they may be, just don't seem plausible without a hefty dose of stupid along with a variety of personality malfunctions - and/or a seriously dysfunctional "family" scenario. In any case, the blame is squarely placed on the people involved, not the messenger/conduit.
I can't see this as anything more than a thinly-veiled ploy to sway Congress into enacting laws that will finally enable greater control/censorship over Internet content for those who have sought such control for so many years. Child porn has long been the big gun in the arsenal of those who seek to censor and limit the Internet - and it really isn't much of a stretch from child porn to "enabling" child prostitution/human trafficking.
The people who are using these stories, and/or creating these stories, to garner support for upcoming legislation should be ashamed.
I think it might be the four years I spent studying philosophy talking, but I get why the term "publicness" makes sense. It looks awkward, and it sounds awkward, but this phenomenon is still so new that we have not yet created the appropriate signifier for it. The traditional practice in philosophy is to add the suffix "ness" to a word in order to signify something greater than the connotation typically attributed to that word. For example, in order to talk about the qualities of a "chair" without being held to the qualities specific to one or more or any actual chairs one may use the term "chair-ness."
I agree with you that "publicness" includes a marketing element, but I also agree with Jarvis that "publicity" is not the right term. People who "Tweet or post photos online" are engaged in self-promotion rather than publicity in my personal lexicon. The term "publicity" is too intertwined with traditional notions of commercial advertising to be appropriate here. I am also of the opinion that "publicacy" is at least as awkward as "publicness" if not more so.
We should start a campaign here in the Techdirt forum to come up with a better word for this phenomenon than "publicness" or "publicacy."
"They wouldn't be GPS tracking someone without a good reason (...hopefully...), so it shouldn't be hard to get a judge to sign off on it, right?"
That should be true, and it generally is true. In the law, a "good reason" for a warrant is called "probable cause." If probable cause exists it is usually not hard to get a judge to sign off on a warrant.
There are also circumstances in which a warrant is not required. However, these "exigent circumstances" generally require some immediate threat to personal/public safety, or loss of evidence, etc.
This reminds me of cases in which new technologies are employed for a "search" and the question raised is whether it is a simple enhancement of the senses (binoculars); or something extra and unusual (infra-red glasses that read heat signatures). My understanding is that a simple enhancement is OK, but new technology that goes beyond our natural senses is more complicated. GPS tracking devices seem to fit into the latter category.
Agreed. Additionally, people have been making memorable and successful films for far less than $200 million for many many years. I Don't think it is wrong to say that the primary reason Hollywood has become a huge presence at "independent" film festivals is to buy up any low budget films that appear to have the potential for turning a profit upon wider distribution. Nothing wrong with a first-time, independent and/or low-budget filmmaker gaining some success through Hollywood...but it does beg the question of why Hollywood can't or won't make these movies on their own.
"I really wonder if the part of the law making ratings agencies liable would stand up to a First Amendment challenge."
This does appear to be the sort of clumsy legislation that we have come to expect from the US Congress. However, I am having a hard time seeing where it becomes a First Amendment issue. To begin with, no one is trying to prevent the ratings agencies from voicing their "opinions."
Given that the Roberts Court recently decided that corporations have First Amendment rights regarding political speech, it is worth noting that the Citizens United decision did not give corporate entities carte blanche to say anything they want without consequence.
It is also worth noting that not all speech is equal under the First Amendment. Political speech enjoys the highest level of protection. The standard of protection for commercial speech is significantly lower.
If we are going to classify the "opinions" promulgated by these ratings agencies as speech for purposes of the First Amendment, we can be sure that they are not political speech. If these opinions/ratings can be classified as speech under the First Amendment, they would most likely be considered commercial speech.
The Supreme Court has previously protected commercial speech under the First Amendment because of the importance of such speech in the making of well-informed and intelligent decisions as to the allocation of resources in a predominantly free enterprise economy. here, the ratings agencies appear to have been complicit in hindering people from making well-informed and intelligent decisions by obfuscating the actual risk involved with these complex financial instruments.
No one expects S&P and Moody's to be right all the time, but this is not about a mistake here and there. Having a mechanism by which the ratings agencies can be held liable for making unreasonable determinations of the value of financial instruments seems pretty mundane; e.g., "Wait, they weren't already liable?"
Thanks pal. I suppose if I agreed with your point of view, I could have posted a "real reply" instead of just being snarky.
Next time I will just PM you first to find out how you would reply and then plan my post accordingly. Kind of like when we were in 7th grade and used call each other every night to plan our outfits for the next day so that we would match.
On the other hand, I was serious about the whole hurray for jobs thing.
"They are useful in cases of emergencies, especially if someone needed to call you."
1. An "emergency" and "someone needed to call you" are not the same thing.
2. Back before there were cell phones, there were phones with land lines. I am fairly certain that they still exist today and that every school has at least one. This means that when an emergency occurs, a family member can call the school office resulting in a person from the school office walking down the hall to interrupt your class and notify you of the emergency. This system has been tested and has been proven to work.
3. I have never been in a classroom where it was acceptable for a cell phone to ring during class time, and that applies to everyone; teachers, professors and students alike.
I agree that litigation against BP will most likely not result in bankrupting this deeply flawed corporation. On the other hand, I am not sure how much this has to do with anti-trust cases; other than being a history lesson in how corporations learned to circumvent the law by dividing and regrouping like a ball of mercury.
We should all know that corporations have the support of the law to create an almost infinite number of subsidiaries and holding companies. And that each subsequent entity comes equipped with its own limited liability making it increasingly difficult to reach a satisfactory result when a corporate decision causes things to go horribly wrong.
I am all for anti-trust law, I just wish it was easier to pierce the veil.
That sounds great. Should we finance the construction of another building, or ten, or more, to house all of the personnel necessary to monitor the Facebook and Twitter activity of people who are supposed to know how to keep things private? "Top Secret" may be among the lowest of clearance levels these days, but it should still carry with it at least a modicum of discretion.
On the other hand, Jobs!
This Leo Stoller guy just brightened up my day. I love you Leo Stoller for not letting the man get you down with his crazy laws telling you that can't live your dream to own everything everywhere. Good for you Leo Stoller!
If only there was a Darwin Award in the category of Trademark Abuse.
I think I agree with you. If revealing sources that wish to remain confidential is not an issue, then there does not seem to be a reason for refusing to turn over additional footage from any specific interview for which additional footage is requested. So long as the footage requested is relevant to the lawsuit.
It seems that the documentary's story was a bit negative, which is why Chevron wants to see more footage. If the story was positive, along the lines of "Chevron saves the Rainforest," the extra footage would not be an issue. Chevron would most likely be taking the other side and arguing for confidentiality.
I agree that the footage should be released - but only if it is relevant. As a filmmaker, would you appreciate it if outtakes or you and the rest of the crew goofing around with the equipment were entered into the record of a public trial with national coverage?
I think that turning over any relevant footage is reasonable. A request for all of the footage filmed during the process of making the documentary would be invasive and most likely beyond the scope of the lawsuit.
As long as the request is limited to footage that directly involves the issues presented, such as all of the footage from a specific interview, it seems like a reasonable request (unless the person being interviewed requested anonymity).
Beyond the DMCA notice/takedown provision, this issue of when a copy is a "copy" as defined by the Copyright Act is often a point of contention in the courts and elsewhere. The legal concepts/defenses of fair use and de minimus infringement have been significantly diminished over the years due to lobbying efforts by the established copyright industries. As a result, the definition of "copy" is fraught with contention within the law.
I don't think Scribd should be required to expend the resources necessary to support a full-blown lawsuit, but I think it might be beneficial to have a statement from the Judge on why this case is being dismissed on summary judgment as opposed to dismissing it outright without an explanatory statement. Who knows if that will happen here, but hope does spring eternal.
Lawyers are required to take an oath in which they promise not to file frivolous lawsuits. And although there may be a fine line between "frivolous" and "creative legal theory," when I hear about this sort of persistence in the effort to establish a passable case, I can't help but think of Orly Taitz.
What is the reason for all of this worry over the icons or snowflakes or whatever you want to call them? I think its weird that you are freaking out about this.
Perhaps one of the multitude of anonymous voices would like to explain why you find the identifying icons so outrageous. Personally, I find them helpful because many comments are posted by anonymous authors, and most of those posts are not titled. The result is a bunch of "Re: Re: Re:" replies to posts written by what appears to be one anonymous author.
Stand by your work.
Without the icons, you all look the same to me.
I am not as up to speed on the UK's approach to handling the Internet "problem" as I would like to be. From what I have heard, it seems that they have not approached it with the same (relatively) hands-off approach we have had here in the US.
This may be one area where our strict adherence to the free market philosophy here in the US has actually benefited the public. Given that the Internet is a (huge)new marketplace. I am guessing that the powers that be here in the US thought that they could control it just as they have controlled so many other markets. Now they have realized that it is out of their control, and all of these lawsuits and calls for new legislation, regulation and taxes sounds a lot like sour grapes and whining to my ear.
I am not a fan of the term "negative spillovers" as it is applied in this context. Characterizing the advent of a new marketplace as a market failure only makes sense if you already had a good position in the formerly prevailing (traditional) marketplace. Even then, it seems that being open to new possibilities rather than stubbornly clinging to the familiar offers greater opportunities in thee future. From what I understand, the corporate form was constructed with the aim of encouraging greater risk-taking in order to generate greater profits. That a large number of existing established corporations are unwilling to take the risk of venturing into this new marketplace created by the Internet can also be called a "market failure."
I am not opposed to having the FCC regulate the Internet here in the US. In my opinion, we would be better off having the government install the infrastructure than leaving it to private corporations who really do not care whether or not you have access at all, except that they want to collect your monthly fee.
The ISPs charge what the market will bear and not a penny less. They are corporations looking to make a profit. Not one of the big ISP players cares what you do through their connections unless it interferes with another of their business interests, which it generally does. AT&T did not like Skype because it cut into the market for person to person communications. Comcast would prefer that their customers not stream videos online because it cuts into their Cable TV revenues.
One last thought: Can it be true that the British still think the way to solve a problem caused by a new marketplace is to tax it? That strategy has not worked out so well in the past. Might be time for a new solution?

Outside of Cooperstown New York, the world's largest collection of baseball research materials will be found in a library in San Diego.
Workers have had more than 15 tons of baseball memorabilia to sift through, and they put best of the best on display Saturday at the Sullivan Family Baseball Research Center on the 8th floor of the new San Diego Central Library.
The collection comes from Northern California resident William Weiss, who was a long time minor league baseball statistician and historian. His family donated the memorabilia to the center after Weiss' death in 2011.
Tom Larwin, who was tasked with going through the enormous collection, said it was like Christmas when the 600 boxes arrived on the research center's doorstep.
"The collection we're receiving today goes back to the 1870s: books, periodicals, newspapers, score sheets, raw data," Larwin said.
Weiss started compiling baseball statistics as a child in the 1930s. He eventually made it a career for various minor leagues across the country, even remodeling his house just to store it all.
"And now we're going through it all, and every day we find a nugget of rare material," Larwin said, still in awe.
Some of the material is so old, its authors spell "base ball" with two words. It even harkens back to the era when major and minor league players filled out hand-written questionaires at the end of their first season.
According to Larwin, Weiss' family decided to send the collection to the Sullivan Family Baseball Research Center because "it's the ultimate." Its shelves hold the largest collection of baseball research materials in the world, outside the Baseball Hall of Fame.
"Now, I think we're going to be the best in the world," said Larwin.

United Airlines CEO paid more than $13 million
Jeffery Smisek helped put together the world's largest airline with the merger of United and Continental, and the company rewarded him by more than tripling his compensation last year to $13.4 million.
AP Airlines Writer
Jeffery Smisek helped put together the world's largest airline with the merger of United and Continental, and the company rewarded him by more than tripling his compensation last year to $13.4 million.
More than half the compensation for the airline's CEO came from stock awards, including incentives for the merger that created United Continental Holdings Inc.
Smisek's 2011 compensation was disclosed in a proxy statement that the Chicago-based company filed Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. An analysis by The Associated Press calculates the value that the company put on compensation awarded to the CEO in that year and excludes changes in pension value, so it differs from the total that the company reports to the SEC.
Smisek, 57, was the CEO of Houston-based Continental Airlines and helped negotiate the combination with United. He was paid compensation valued at nearly $4.4 million in 2010.
Last year, Smisek was given stock awards that were valued at $7.53 million when they were granted in February 2011, including $4.4 million in merger incentives.
Smisek was paid a salary of $975,000, up from $791,250 in 2010; $4.41 million in separate incentive payments, up from $3.56 million in 2010; and $454,918 in other compensation, up from $9,766 the year before.
The other-compensation column included $241,457 for travel and relocation help, as well as $67,947 for insurance premiums paid by the company.
Other top United executives also got merger incentives that could become very valuable. The awards for Chief Financial Officer Zane Rowe, Chief Operations Officer Peter McDonald and Chief Revenue Officer James Compton were valued at $1.65 million apiece. Rowe announced this month he is leaving for Apple Inc.,
For Smisek to get his merger payoff, the company must hit revenue and cost-saving targets over a three-year period ending in December 2013 and achieve merger milestones. Some of those milestones have already been met.
One milestone was combining the United and Continental computerized reservations systems. The switchover last month, however, didn't go smoothly, and many customers endured long waits on hold to fix ticketing problems. Smisek apologized this week, saying the airline had failed to deliver adequate customer service.
United Continental and rivals such as Delta Air Lines Inc. have benefited from consolidation that has reduced the number of U.S. airlines and made it easier for the survivors to raise fares. United earned $840 million in 2011 and $253 million in 2010 after losing $6 billion the previous two years combined.
But lately, even fare increases and a slew of extra fees charged to passengers haven't been enough to offset sharply higher jet fuel prices. This week, United Continental reported that it lost $448 million in the first three months of the year, although the loss was smaller than analysts had feared.
Even as United Continental earned money last year, stockholders didn't share in the bounty. The airline's shares lost 26 percent of their value during 2011, although they have gained most of it back this year.
The AP's calculation of executive compensation includes salary, bonuses, perks and the estimated value of stock and stock options awarded during the year. The amount that Smisek or other CEOs eventually get can differ, depending on the performance of the company's stock after awards are granted. Most companies require an executive to wait a certain amount of time before getting stock grants or exercising options.

California farmers examine climate change issues
New science and research has San Joaquin Valley farmers taking a harder look at the effect that climate change may have on their industry.
If researcher's predictions hold true, the Valley's multi-billion dollar agriculture industry will be hit with longer stretches of hot temperatures, fewer colder days and shrinking water supplies.
What that means for agriculture is potentially lower yields, a loss of revenue and fewer acres being farmed.
Farmers and industry leaders say that while there is still skepticism among their ranks, they are doing what they can to stay ahead of the issue, including educating themselves, testing new fruit varieties or investing in water-saving technologies.
"You know, this is sort of like Y2K," said Joel Nelsen, president of the Exeter-based California Citrus Mutual, a citrus trade group. "You better figure out if it is going to affect you or not and what are the possible scenarios."
One of those scenarios is not good news for farmers. Researchers predict that rising temperatures over the next several decades could pinch the yields of some Valley crops, including an 18% drop in citrus, 6% in grapes and 9% among cherries and other orchard crops.
Nelsen said he was one of the early naysayers. The early debates about climate change were often mired in politics, or seen by farmers as an agenda pushed by the environmental community. But more credible research has caused many to take the issue more seriously.
"I am not completely buying into it," Nelsen said. "But as an industry, it behooves us to be out in front of an issue that could affect the production of citrus in the state."
Nelsen wants to know how hotter temperatures will affect the flavor of citrus fruit and how oranges will develop their vibrant color with fewer colder days.
"And do we take a second look at what possible locations might be available to grow citrus, if the San Joaquin Valley is not amenable to producing citrus anymore?" Nelsen asked.
Breeders of peaches, plums and nectarines -- major crops in the central San Joaquin Valley -- are also keeping climate change in mind as they evaluate varieties in their test trials.
Longtime fruit breeder Glen Bradford in Le Grand paid close attention to varieties of fruit that wilted this summer under a string of triple-digit temperatures. The heat caused several test varieties to brown on the inside or become dry and pithy. Bradford will weed those out from test trials.
"At the same time, we had varieties that came through 109 degrees and did fine," Bradford said. "And those will get a second look. The fact is, if we are going to have consistent climate change, than we are going to have to take that into account as plant breeders."
Along with the potential for rising temperatures, the possibility of drought exists. Valley farmers, especially those in west Fresno County, are no strangers to dry years. Several years ago, west-side growers fallowed thousands of farm acres because of a lack of water.
To maximize what little water they had, many farmers turned to irrigation equipment that was more efficient and conserved water. West-side farmer Dan Errotabere was among those who installed a system that waters his processing tomatoes below the surface of the soil, reducing the loss of water through evaporation.
Like Nelsen, Errotabere remains open to the possibility that climate change could affect farming in the future.
"We hear all kinds of interpretations of what is going on," Errotabere said. "But what it tells me is that we need to take a serious look at our water infrastructure. If we are going to be dealing with less water then we are going to have to improve our water storage systems."Karl Longley, coordinator of water resources programs for the California Water Institute at Fresno State, said there needs to be better communication between scientists and the farming community.
"People get hung up on whether climate change is man-caused, and that becomes a political issue," Longley said. "But you have to separate the political discussion, because climate change is taking place and we have to be prepared."

Wabash Day 2010 - Indy, Helping Handsby Bryan Roesler '06 • October 13, 2010 Share:
During the Second Helpings project, the Wabash contingent worked with rescued food to prepare nutritious meals for Second Helpings to distribute. Second Helpings accepts donated perishable and overstocked food to prepare nutritious meals for thousands of hungry children and adults every day, and distributes them free of charge through local social service agencies in Greater Indianapolis. Second Helpings also trains unemployed and underemployed adults for meaningful careers in the culinary industry.
Our Wabash Day group prepared a pork and beans dish, washed dishes, swept and mopped floors, and wrapped and prepared over 500 lbs of meals for Second Helpings to send out over the following couple of days. We prepared enough food to feed hundreds of people all over Indianapolis. Our group consisted of nine Wabash volunteers.

Commissioner doesn't want kitchen subsidizing businesses
News editor
In discussion with Marion County Economic Development Director Teresa Huffman, County Commissioner Roger Fleming said he was concerned about plans to open a certified commercial kitchen in the county lake hall.
Fleming said he doesn't want the project to subsidize businesses when other businesses in the county have invested in their own kitchens and equipment.
"I would like to see them invest in themselves," Fleming said.
The proposed kitchen would meet health requirements for people to prepare food for sale. Start-up businesses would be able to rent the space by the hour, providing savings over spending the money required to equip a kitchen themselves.
Huffman said the kitchen would pay for its own operation with rental and cooking class fees, so the county shouldn't have to subsidize it once it is built.
Fleming said he had heard from people on both sides of the issue — cooks who saw it as an opportunity to establish a business and people who don't want the county to subsidize businesses which compete with others in the county.
Ag manufacturer to locate in Goessel
Huffman told the commission that the Ratzlaff drapery building in Goessel has been sold. It will be converted into an agricultural manufacturing business. She said the new owners have already purchased a home in Goessel.
Residents cooperating to resolve zoning, sanitation violations
Planning and Zoning and Environmental Health Director Tonya Richards said that owners of a property that had several violations are working with her to correct the problems.
An existing building has received a permit, and they are seeking a permit for a private airstrip. The airstrip permit will be on the April agenda for the county planning and zoning board, she said.
The owners also had an outhouse in conflict with state health codes. Richards said they have filled it in and are taking other steps to solve the issue.
Tax abatement given despite issues
The commission approved a neighborhood revitalization property tax abatement for William Vinduska despite the application being completed outside of the 60-day window after receiving a permit.
Richards said the project had been complicated by concerns the house might be in a floodplain. Commissioners Dan Holub and Randy Dallke said Vinduska had done a good job working with the county on earlier zoning issues.
Fleming voted against giving the tax break because an outbuilding had received a permit in 2011 without applying for the tax break but was included in the new abatement.
April 1 is deadline for appraisal appeals
The deadline for property owners to appeal their appraised values without having to pay under protest is April 1. After that deadline, people may still appeal their property values, but they will have to pay a portion of the tax bill before an appeal will be heard.
Closed sessions
County Clerk Tina Spencer met with the commission in closed session for 10 minutes to discuss personnel. On return to open session, the board voted to allow Spencer's office staff to attend the regional county clerks' meeting Thursday at the Historic Elgin Hotel in Marion, but to require they use vacation time to do so or take it as unpaid time off.
The commission met in closed session for 10 minutes to discuss personnel. No action was taken on return to open session.
Huffman and Richards met with the commission in closed session for 10 minutes to discuss division of duties related to Marion Reservoir Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategies. No action was taken on return to open session.
Transfer Station Director Rollin Schmidt met with the commission in closed session for five minutes to discuss personnel. On return to open session, the commission instructed Schmidt to offer a vacant full-time job to a current part-time worker. If that worker accepts the job, Schmidt will advertise for a new part-time worker.

Craig Keener has the brain of a scholar and the hands of an activist. The New Testament professor at Asbury Theological Seminary has authored 15 books, 70 journal articles, and more than 100 articles for religious and general interest publications. He and his wife, Médine Moussounga Keener, are deeply involved in ethnic reconciliation ministry.
In his New Testament commentaries, Keener has investigated biblical miracles. But his newest volume—Miracles: The Credibility of the New Testament Accounts (Baker Academic)—focuses on contemporary miracle accounts, citing hundreds of recent occurrences.
Keener is ordained in a historic African American church and served as an associate minister before moving to Asbury's campus in Wilmore, Kentucky. Christianity Today senior writer Tim Stafford interviewed Keener this fall.
Miracles are an unusual subject for a New Testament scholar. What led you to it?
I was going to write a footnote in my commentary on Acts, and was dealing with questions of historical reliability. Many scholars dismiss miracle stories as not historically plausible, arguing that they arose as legendary accretions.
I was familiar with [contemporary] reports of miracles taking place. There must be thousands of such reports. It was inconceivable to me that people would say eyewitnesses can't claim to have seen such things.
What do you want to accomplish with this book?
Primarily, to challenge scholars who dismiss miracles in the Gospels as legends and not historically plausible. Eyewitnesses say these kinds of things all the time. I also want to challenge the bias that says these things can't be supernatural. I believe God does miracles, and I don't see why we scholars ...1

Charleston, W.Va. (May 25, 2010) – A record 235 new medicines to treat diabetes, one of the fastest-growing diseases in the U.S., are being developed by America's pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, according to a national report [read the report] unveiled today in Charleston.
In West Virginia, 11.4% of the adult population suffers from diabetes – a rate that has more than doubled since 1994. According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study of data from 2006-2008, West Virginia has the highest rate of diabetes in the U.S.
"We released this report in West Virginia because of the state's alarming rates of diabetes, which unfortunately reflect a trend prevalent throughout the nation," said Ken Johnson, senior vice president of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). "Perhaps the most shocking and disturbing trend is the rise of diabetes among children, which the American Diabetes Association calls 'a new epidemic.'"
Type 2 diabetes, which is closely linked to lifestyles, was once called "adult onset" diabetes because it was so rare among children. But as more and more children are increasingly overweight or obese and inactive, the disease is being seen in even very young children. If present trends continue, one in three American children born in 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime.
"As a nation, we must step up our efforts to stop this alarming trend, and at the same time continue our strong commitment to the cutting-edge research that allows diabetes patients to manage their disease and live longer, healthier, more productive lives," said Johnson.
"Medical advances made over the past several decades have revolutionized how we battle diabetes and its complications. Still, it takes a terrible toll on patients and our healthcare system," Johnson added. "This report illustrates the exciting work being pursued by our companies' dedicated researchers on behalf of patients and their families awaiting new treatments and renewed hope."
The report was released at a press conference featuring American TV icon Jerry Mathers, most famed for his role as "The Beaver" in the television classic, "Leave It To Beaver." Mathers, who suffers from diabetes, works to foster prevention awareness and calls on those who have the disease to seek proper treatment. Of the nearly 24 million Americans afflicted with diabetes, an estimated six million don't know they have it. Another three million know but are not being treated and thus risk severe complications.
"As a patient who must cope every day with the effects of diabetes, I understand only too well the value of medicines and lifestyle changes," said Mathers, who is national spokesman for the Partnership for Prescription Assistance. Since its launch in 2005, the PPA has helped more than 6.5 million uninsured and financially struggling Americans – including more than 60,000 West Virginians – gain access to programs that provide medicines for free or nearly free.
The new medicines for diabetes currently in the pipeline, all of which are in clinical trials or awaiting approval by the Food and Drug Administration, include numerous drugs to treat eye diseases associated with diabetes and medicines to treat foot ulcers that could reduce the need for amputations. Researchers are pushing into new territories that include gene therapy and are working on such treatments as a once-weekly medication similar to a natural hormone critical to blood sugar regulation.
Of the medicines listed in the report, 36 have been or will be part of clinical trials conducted in West Virginia. Patients are currently being recruited for clinical trials in Lewisburg and Burnsville.
"Such research has the potential to dramatically improve the lives of millions of Americans. After all, diabetes not only causes great suffering to patients and their families, but also extracts a heavy economic cost," said Johnson. It has been estimated that in West Virginia alone, diabetes costs nearly a billion dollars a year in medical treatments and lost productivity.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the country's leading pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, which are devoted to inventing medicines that allow patients to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. PhRMA companies are leading the way in the search for new cures. PhRMA members alone invested an estimated $50.3 billion in 2008 in discovering and developing new medicines. Industry-wide research and investment reached a record $65.2 billion in 2008.

Who is William Wesley, agent behind LeBron James-John Calipari package?
Others weren't quite so surprised to see William Wesley—or Wes, as he's known—in the middle of the fray. "At any given time, if you look at any sporting event, there's a very good chance you're going to see Wes," says NBA analyst David Aldridge. Over the years, Wes has been spotted hugging Jerry Jones on the field after a Cowboys Super Bowl win, high-fiving University of Miami football players after a national championship win, and embracing Joe Dumars after the Pistons won the NBA Finals.
He's been spotted sitting next to Jay-Z at the NBA All-Star Game, with Nike czar Phil Knight at the Final Four, and trolling the sidelines of Team USA practices in Las Vegas and Japan. "People who really know Wes," says superagent David Falk, Wes's longtime friend, "know that he's one of the two or three most powerful people in the sport."

Adobe to Use Sandbox to Secure Reader
The next major version of Adobe Reader, presumably version 10, will include a sandbox architecture called "Protected Mode" to defend the system against vulnerability exploits in Reader.
Adobe Reader is widely-acknowledged to be the number 1 target for vulnerability exploit writers these days. An effective sandbox could be a powerful tool for Adobe to protect their users. Protected Mode will be turned on by default in Reader. Adobe is not providing a planned release date for the new version.
Similar in architecture to the sandboxes in Google Chrome and Microsoft Office 2010, Adobe Reader Protected Mode doesn't stop vulnerabilities from being found or exploited; it limits their severity by limiting what they can do.
Reader and all plugin code will run in the sandbox. Code in this sandbox has very limited rights; it cannot, for example, write to the file system or the registry. To perform these tasks it must work through a broker process (see illustration above) which checks policies before engaging in any activities which could be dangerous.
If an attacker finds a new vulnerability in Reader and exploits it, that exploit code will run in the context of Reader and therefore in the sandbox. In order to get anything of consequence done it will have to find an exploit in the broker process. The broker process is relatively small and simple and heavily scrutinized. Nothing's perfect, but this should be a formidable barrier to exploit code.
Reader, and specifically Reader on Windows, is on the front line of the vulnerability fight. The overwhelming majority of real-world exploits through malicious PDFs happen in Reader for Windows. The full Acrobat program will not implement the sandbox, at least not initially. Adobe is taking a different approach, in which opened files will be dispatched either to Acrobat or to Reader depending on a number of factors, including their origin. Office 2010 uses a similar approach, opening files in its limited "Protected View" if the file comes from the Internet or some other untrusted location. Files coming through trusted workflows will go to Acrobat. Even Internet Explorer 7 and 8's Protected Mode, when run on Windows Vista and 7, is similar in running web sites in a specially-limited user context.
It is usually the case, with a vulnerability in Reader, that the Mac and UNIX versions are technically as vulnerable as the Windows version. But since exploit code needs to be platform-specific, and attackers want to have the maximum impact, Windows is the only version attacked.
It's also the case that the techniques used to implement sandboxes are highly-platform specific. Consider Google's Chromium sandbox which uses Windows Job Objects and Integrity Levels to protect processes. These appear to be used by Reader Protected Mode as well, and no close analogs are available on Mac, UNIX, or Linux, at least not as standard operating system features. Google has had to take very different approaches to sandbox Chrome on those other platforms. Adobe will too, but in the shorter term sandboxes on these platforms are low priorities because there's no real-world need for them.
Adobe actually collaborated with the teams at Google and Microsoft which implemented their sandboxes, as expertise in such programming is scarce. The bulk of experience in the topic is in those Google and Microsoft (and now Adobe) teams.
Some features of the sandboxing will work better in Windows 7 and Vista than in Windows XP. The absence of some security features, likely including Integrity Levels, limits the abilities of the sandbox on XP. Because of this, for example, a memory-resident keylogger, loaded through a PDF exploit which never touched the file system would not be blocked on XP. The same problems would likely interfere with some screen reader software used by the vision-impaired. In such cases Adobe will instruct the user in disabling sandboxing.
Even if Adobe is successful in developing a rock-solid sandbox for Reader, it won't be effective for users who don't upgrade, and we know that old versions in the wild are a major problem. Adobe says that the update they issued a few months ago to their updater software made a big difference in this problem by eliminating reasons for users not to apply the most recent version. 2/3 of the time necessary to "roll over" the installed base has been eliminated by the new updater.
When the new version ships, the get.adobe.com/reader site will begin to offer it immediately. After Adobe has had some time to evaluate how the new version is working in the real world, they hope to move users of old versions aggressively to the new one.
In the real world, sandboxes such as these have been very effective. The number and severity of vulnerabilities in programs protected by them is much less than in unprotected software, and I don't see why Reader should be different. If we're lucky, the big question in a few months will be where attackers will move next.

As every musician knows, to have a great band you need a great drummer.
It's true. Try to imagine The Beatles without Ringo Starr. Or The Rolling Stones without Charlie Watts. The Police without Stewart Copeland. Metallica without Lars Ulrich. Rush without Neil Peart. Unthinkable, right?
Even so, drummer jokes abound. But we're going to let you in on a little secret: We drummers love the jokes. We trade them and e-mail them to one another. The more the merrier. And so, with that in mind, MusicRadar has compiled the 23 best drummer jokes of all time.
Why 23 you ask? What, you expect us to actually count to a normal number?
How do you tell if the stage is level?
The drummer is drooling from both sides of his mouth.
How can you tell a drummer's at the door?
The knocking speeds up.
What's the last thing a drummer says in a band?
"Hey, how about we try one of my songs?"
An Indian chief and a cavalry captain climb to the top of a tall hill and look out upon the entire Indian tribe. The captain says worriedly, "I don't like the sound of those drums." The chief says, "I know. It's not our regular drummer."
What do you call a drummer that breaks up with his girlfriend?
What do Ginger Baker and black coffee have in common?
They both suck without Cream.
How many drummers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Five: One to screw the bulb in, and four to talk about how much better
Neil Peart could've done it.
An amateur drummer died and went to heaven. He was waiting outside the pearly gates when he heard the most incredible fast and furious drumming coming from within. Immediately he recognized the playing and rushed to ask St. Peter if that was Buddy Rich playing drums inside the gates. St. Peter responded: "No, that's God. He just thinks he's Buddy Rich."
How do you get a drummer off of your porch?
Pay him 10 bucks for the pizza.
Why didn't the Little Drummer Boy get into heaven?
Because he woke up the baby, for Christ's sake!
What do you call a drummer with half a brain?
What does a drummer use for contraception?
His personality.
What do you say to a drummer in a three-piece suit?
"Will the defendant please rise?"
"Hey buddy, how late does the band play?"
"Oh, about half a beat behind the drummer."
Hey, did you hear about the drummer who finished high school?
Me neither.
Why do guitarists put drumsticks on the dash of their car?
So they can park in the handicapped spot.
How is a drum solo like a sneeze?
You know it's coming, but there's nothing you can do about it.
What's the first thing a drummer says when he moves to LA?
"Would you like fries with that, sir?
What is the difference between a drummer and a savings bond?
One will mature and make money.
Why do drummers have lots of kids?
They're not too good at the Rhythm Method.
What do you do if you accidentally run over a drummer?
Back up.
What did the drummer say to the band leader?
"Do you want me to play too fast or too slow?"
Deep in the African jungle, a safari was camped for the night. In the darkness, distant drums began a relentless throbbing that continued until dawn. The safari members were disturbed, but the guide reassured them: "Drums good. When drums stop, very bad." Every night the drumming continued, and every night the guide reiterated, "Drums good. When drums stop, VERY bad." This continues for several days until one morning the drumming suddenly stops and all the natives panic and run screaming. The man asks the guide what's the matter? The guide looking very frightened says: "When drums stop, VERY, VERY bad," he said. "Why is it bad?" asked a member of the safari. "Because when drums stop, bass solo begin!"

2009 Cornerstone Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Posted on 06 February 2012.
Craig Camp may no longer reside in the Willamette Valley but his presence undoubtedly still exists in the wines he is making with Tony Rynders, formerly of Domaine Serene for the California winery Cornerstone. This 2009 Pinot Noir is another great example of how the vintage has been way underrated. With just a little over two short years from harvest, this wine has settled into a smooth well-produced package that exemplifies the vintage. 2009 may have not received the accolades the 2008's did but in time these wines just may surpass the opulence the much ballyhooed previous vintage has already obtained. This Willamette Valley wine expresses aromas of raspberry and blueberry with a hint of fresh ground cinnamon stick. On the palate, flavors of dark berry and hazelnut are offered up with a vibrant acidity that is balanced by well-integrated tannins. The finish is plush, pleasant and long enough to make this a memorable wine to savor alongside a braised lamb shank elegantly prepared for an intimate Valentines dinner. If your retailer or favorite restaurant does not offer this wine, get it online. I would get it soon because this one will not be around for long.
Rating: Excellent (91) | $50 | 13.9% ABV
