This page is to document answers to frequently asked questions about the yearly Simultaneous Release process or build.
How do we join the simultaneous release train
- You need to mark the simultaneousrelease flag in the Foundation's Portal metadata for your project ... by M4, at the latest. After you mark that flag, the project lead should see some extra "tracking" metadata at the Foundation Portal.
That's too easy, how do we join the simultaneous release train, really
- The flag is the only formal step in declaring your intent. Of course, your PMC should be well aware of your plans, as always. Some people like to post a note to cross-project list, which is not necessary, but does not hurt anything either, if you just want to keep everyone informed. Then, of course, the real work begins. There is a whole list of things you have to do, some required, some recommended, and, you need to get yourself into the common repository aggregation build, by M4, at the latest for new projects (existing projects continuing from previous years should already be in, as part of the intent it to be "simultaneous" every milestone, not just at the end. You will want to read through these documents, and others at the main wiki category (e.g. for Indigo) as there is a lot of work involved ... more than just "releasing at the same time of year". And, if it is after M4, there is an exception processes, but you should talk to your PMC and Planning Council representative to see if you have a reasonable case for your Planning Council representative to take to the whole council.
What are the most important URLs
Where can the common repository be tested, before it is rolled out for a milestone or release?
The best place is the "staging area", by adding this URL to your "available software sites" list.
Note: to get the best test, disable all other repositories in your list, or you might end up pulling something from some other repository, not staging. Be aware that moving a specific build to "staging" may happen only every few days (if you need something promoted more urgently, just ask on cross-project list).
What is the staging repository?
Conceptually, it is simply a place to hold a repository temporarily ... until the repository is promoted to a released location.
What is staging, for the current, most forward looking, yet-to-be-released stream?
Not every build-repository makes it to this staging repository, but they do fairly frequently. Before the actual yearly release, a common milestone aggregation build is moved from 'staging' to the 'releases' area. For example, once, for each final milestone, staging is moved to
What is staging, for the maintenance stream?
Not every build-repository makes it to this staging repository, but they do fairly frequently. There are no milestones for maintenance streams, so this is as far as a maintenance repository gets, until it is time for SR1 or SR2 to be declared at which time 'maintenance' is promoted to be part of the composite for the release, such as
What's the best way to test with the staging repository?
There are a couple of good tests to do, before a staging repository is released:
Test staging all by itself
Just add the staging repository to the available software sites, using preferences, and ... very important ... make sure all other sites are disabled. This then gives you the best view that everything in that one repository is correct, and all dependencies can indeed be found, and things show up in categories as expected.
After confirming the categories are as expected, usually the next test is just to install things, fresh, but often it is a good idea to test various update sceneries, to make sure things work as expected (for example, if you already have M6 installed, then once M7 is ready, test to be sure it updates to M7 as expected.
Test staging as a pseudo composite
After confirming staging repository is correct, its often useful to then also (re)enable the released repository. Then, on install dialog, you can select "all available sites" and this effectively simulates what the eventual, final composite repository will look like to end users. There are cases, especially during initial development, where invalid features will show up. For example, if a feature was removed, renamed, its version reduced, or its category changed from one milestone to the next, it might still show up in the composite, and that might interfere with correct installation (see bug 314165), if not merely be confusing to end users. If there is a serious problem due to the composite, please open a bug in cross-project component and we'll decide if the composite should be changed or reduced to allow for correct installation.
Why do we use composites anyway, if there are potential problems with them?
Two reasons. While the eventual, initial released repository, in June, will definitely consist of just one set of released, consistent features, later in September, and then February, we use composites to add maintenance, so testing composites early is a good idea to make sure there are no bugs in p2, etc., that need to be fixed.
Secondly, someone may be using a previous milestone as a runtime target, and once we remove it, it will invalidate that target, so we do not want to force everyone to "move up" all at the the same time. Some developers may need a few weeks to transition to the latest code. To save space, we do not try and save all previous milestones, though. Our goal is to maintain about 3 milestones in the composite. For example, if we had M4, M5, and M6 in the composite, once M7 came out, we'd only have M5, M6, and M7. But the number can not be guaranteed. If there are serious problem with providing the composite we will reduce it to just two, or even to just one, to make sure the repository is usable for testing and continued development.
Once I update my .b3aggrcon file, how can I start a build?
You don't need to. The build will start automatically, once you check in a .build file. The .build files are checked every 15 minutes to see if any have changed, and if so an aggregation build will start. It takes approximately 2 hours to run.
But what if I really want to kick off the build myself?
If you can't wait 15 minutes, you can start the build your self. Anyone that has authorization to check in a .build file, should have authority to manually start a build. Plus, there are some cases where someone may need to kick off a build manually. For example, if a build fails due to network issues. Another common case is that a build may fail, even though the .build file is correct, the repository it points to might have had an error. Once the repository is corrected, there's no automatic mechanism to detect that change, so after the repository is corrected, a new build has to be manually started (that, or the .build file "touched" and then checked in again). To manually start a build, just click the "Schedule a Build" button at the build status control page.
You need to be sure to login (with your committer ID):
Then click the "Schedule a Build" buttton:
A build failed message says it can not find xyz.feature.group, but I have nothing with "feature.group" in the name?
The suffix ".feature.group" is added to feature names, to refer to the whole feature ... the feature files themselves, but also all its included bundles and features ... to help distinguish it from the literal feature files. So "xyz.feature.group" just means the "xyz feature", conceptually. See Eclipse Help for detailed information about metadata.
A build failed message says it can not find version 1.2.3.v9 but I can see 1.2.3.v9 on the file system?
The key file, the one that "drives" P2, is the content.jar/xml file. Be sure to check the version numbers there. If, inside it, the installable unit (often a feature) says version="1.2.3.v8", then P2 will look no further and conclude that the 'v9' feature it is looking for is not there. This is usually a sign your meta data needs to be re-generated to match the contents on the file system.
How is a final build made "invisible" until release?
Web download pages?
You can put the zips in their download directory, so those large items can replicate to mirrors, but don't use any HTML that would cause them to be displayed as links to an end user. True, if someone knew the exact URL they could still get it, but the idea is that the URL is not widely announced or visible, so even if a few download it, it is not hit by thousands of downloads. Then, on release day, you'd update the HTML pages to make the downloads visible to browsers and click-able by users.
Tip : you can hide some particular builds from download pages using the hidden.txt file in downloads directory ( see for example emft : http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/www/modeling/emft/downloads/hidden.txt?root=Eclipse_Website&view=log )
P2 repositories?
There is a few ways to accomplish this, depending on if you have composite or simple repositories, but they all involve promoting the "main" parts of the repository (the artifacts, usually "plugins" and "features" directory) to their final location so those meaty parts can be replicating to mirrors, but do not put the metadata (usually content.jar and artifacts.jar) to their final location until "release day". p2 doesn't "see" the artifacts, until it can read the metadata.
Can a new project or feature join a Simultaneous Service Release (SR1 or SR2)?
Yes, but still subject to all the other rules of the Eclipse Development Process and the Simultaneous Release Requirements. For example, if a "Release Review" is required by the EDP, it is still required, before being in an SR. A release review is normally not required for a maintenance release, if the maintenance is "bug fixes" only, but if a new feature is added (including an increase in minor version number) then according to the Eclipse Development Process a release review is required. All that is independent of the "Simultaneous Service Release" and Planning Council ... just normal Eclipse business. Similarly, something "new" must still meet all the other Simultaneous Release requirements, such as signed jars, 4 part versioning, etc. In particular, the addition must "do no harm". In practice this means it is relatively easy to change "leaf components", but more care and effort is required to change a "low level" feature.

Lowered British flag lays bare Belfast's divisions, reveals limits of Northern Ireland peace
- Image 1 of 3
- Image 2 of 3
- Image 3 of 3
BELFAST, Northern Ireland – At Belfast City Hall, the flagpole is bare — and the streets are filled with nighttime fear and fury.
These are dangerous times in Northern Ireland, a long-divided corner of the United Kingdom that is supposed to be at peace after decades of unrest thanks to its hard-won cease-fires and a Catholic-Protestant government. But the lowering of a single Union Jack has exposed a society still split between two competing identities.
Last month, Catholics who narrowly outnumber Protestants on the council voted to reduce the flying of the flag to just 18 official days a year, ending a century when the British national symbol favored by Protestants flew uninterrupted year-round.
Catholics billed the move as a compromise, since they wanted the flag removed completely. On Wednesday, the flag fluttered for the first time since the vote to mark the 31st birthday of Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, but was taken down again at sunset.
Protestant hard-liners have responded with nightly illegal street blockades that often have degenerated into street battles between riot police and masked protesters armed with everything from sledgehammers to snooker balls. Police say 66 officers have been wounded, including six this week, and more than 100 rioters arrested.
Nobody seems to know how, or when, the strife will end. While Northern Ireland suffers intercommunal conflict each summer because of traditional Protestant marches, this is the first time that Northern Ireland has suffered a month straight of angry civil disturbances in the winter.
Some analysts, reflecting on how past Northern Ireland crises have unfolded, suspect that the extremists won't stop until someone is killed.
"The quickest end looks like it would be in an atrocity. I fear that," said Duncan Morrow, a University of Ulster lecturer and former chief of Northern Ireland's Community Relations Council, a group that tries to bridge the persistent divide between Irish Catholics and British Protestants.
At the heart of the resumed conflict is the rapid change in Northern Ireland's population balance and political system.
Northern Ireland was created as a Protestant-majority state in the U.K. shortly before the overwhelmingly Catholic rest of Ireland won independence in 1922. But the days of Protestant domination of politics and the police are distant memories.
The latest census published last month show Catholics in the majority in Belfast and gaining throughout Northern Ireland. The peace process has produced a new system in which a former Irish Republican Army commander now jointly leads the government, and a decade of preferential Catholic recruitment has produced a more Irish-oriented police force that Protestant militants increasingly view as the enemy.
For many Protestants, the change has overwhelmed the senses. Stripping "their" flag from City Hall has brought their central fear into focus — that they could become the minority in a land that eventually could fly the green, white and orange flag of the neighboring Republic of Ireland.
"The vote on the flag was a touchstone. It transformed Protestant and unionist frustration into outright anger," said Mike Nesbitt, leader of the No. 2 Protestant-backed party, the Ulster Unionists. "Even if you put the flag back up 365 days a year — and I accept it's not going to happen — that would not fix the anger on the streets."
Many shop and restaurant owners in downtown Belfast are fuming, too — about scared-off customers, bills they can't pay and a political culture that wreaks economic havoc over matters of symbolism. They blame Catholic politicians for picking a needless fight right before Christmas, and blame Protestants for inflaming mobs with no ability to rein them back in.
But Peter Robinson, the Protestant first minister of the government who still backs the protests so long as they remain peaceful, insists he's done all he can.
"I can't bring them off the streets," he said.

The estimated $50 billion in damage left in the wake of Superstorm Sandy and the subsequent noreaster is hard for human brains to comprehend. But what we can understand is that the losses are enormous, and recovery is going to take a long time.
Local efforts are gearing up to assist with the relief.
The children at St. Columba School decided to get involved. The fifth-graders, in collaboration with their preschool buddies, designed, drew, colored and produced 1,000 Christmas cards in four designs to sell for their contribution.
Three cards feature a snowman (I like the one with the striped socks, myself), and the other depicts a Nativity scene from the stained-glass windows at St. Columba Catholic Church. Each package of 10 cards includes three of each snowman design and one Nativity scene and is for sale for $10.
And how can one go wrong with these messages?
This Christmas will be better with you, reads one. Remember Christmas isnt all about Presents, its about Jesus. Have a Holly Jolly Christmas, says another. Or, Happy Holiday with great hope, and Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday. Snow is falling gently, It is the Christmas season!
The students will be selling their cards at several locations during Noel Night from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, including outside of Starbucks Coffee Co. in the 500 block of Main Ave., and in front of Cyprus Café in the 700 block of East Second Ave.
The cards also will be available at the St. Columba Craft Bazaar from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday in the schools gym at 1801 East Third Ave.
Cards also are for sale at the new Urban Market, 865 Main Ave.
The students are donating 100 percent of the money raised to be split between three causes, St. Rose of Lima Catholic School in Rockaway Beach, N.J., St. Francis de Sales Catholic School in Belle Harbor, N.Y., and Catholic Charities Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. (Checks to any of those organizations also are mighty welcome.)
If youd be interested in allowing the students to sell their cards at your business, or would like to match funds raised to maximize the students gift, call Karen Rowan at 769-2288.
Reinforcing young peoples instincts of generosity is one of the best ways we have to raise generous adults.
Wishing for snow as they blow out their birthday candles are Marty Rabeno, Cyrilla Kelby, Renate Widder, Ann Allsbrook, Greg Farley, Carl Johnson, David Ottman, John Schafer, Lilian Tucker, Jennifer Walker, Benjamin Andrea, Harry Jarrell, Owen Craft, Ella Roth and Kyla Patterson.
The adults are getting into the generosity for Superstorm Sandy relief, too. Mary Jo Rakowski and her sister, Sandra Fleming, are going all out to create the Joisey Girls 4 Jersey Shore Relief party, which will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday at the Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks Lodge 507, at the corner of Ninth Street and East Second Avenue. (Go in the Ninth Street entrance.)
Guests are invited to get their best Joisey on, so women are encouraged to slather on the blue eyeliner and go bouffant.
Get your photo taken with Jersey natives Frank Sinatra and Nicole Snooki Polizzi. Dance to DJ ColdStar, who has promised to mix in some Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi and Ole Blue Eyes himself for your East Coast-style dancing pleasure. Rehydrate with East Coast favorites Snapple and Yoo Hoos. Bid on a dozen select silent auction items, including prints from Karyn Gabaldon and Claude Steelman, a private Zumba party and paddleboard lessons.
And for true Joisey aficionados, test your accent on four words or phrases commonly heard in the Garden State. Jersey natives Marc Goldfarb and Mike Crouchelli will serve as judges.
If youre wondering about the prizes, youll have to attend Saturday night to find out what Rakowski means when she says theyre definitely Jerseyesque.
The sisters are asking for a minimum donation of $10, which will go to the Southwest Colorado Chapter of the American Red Cross for its Superstorm Sandy relief efforts along the Jersey shore. Theyre working with Red Cross Executive Director Cindi Shank to get the help there as efficiently as possible. (Obviously, once again, if you can donate more, please do so.)
Theyre also collecting hard goods items the stores just cant keep in stock because theyre in such demand. The sisters are planning to rent a vehicle to get the items across the country.
On the list? Tilex is at the top, along with heavy duty sponges and scrubbers, work gloves, heavy duty garbage bags, antiseptic wipes, clean brand-new underwear and socks, warm gloves and personal hygiene items including toothbrushes and toothpaste. A local school is holding a hat/mitten/glove drive for kids who need help to stay warm this winter, and the women will take the proceeds from that drive as well.
The number of displaced pets is beyond imagining as well. Rakowski and Fleming are collecting dog and cat food, clean, gently used towels and blankets for bedding, treats, collars and leashes for the four-legged companions who find themselves homeless right now.
People dont understand why people just cant go to the store and buy this stuff, Rakowski said. But in addition to stores not being able to keep these key items in stock, many folks still cant get into work or their homes because of extensive road damage and insurance is not going to begin to cover the costs, so money is a concern.
Why, you might ask, are Rakowski and Fleming doing this? They have cousins, aunts, uncles and other assorted family members and friends living up and down the state. While they live mostly north and inland of the worst damage, high winds dropped trees on garages and condos of loved ones. But they know folks who suffered egregious losses.
The infrastructure is so damaged, some people wont have power for eight months, Rakowski said. And in some towns, entire beaches moved to Main Street. People cant go in because theyre worried about sinkholes in the sand.
Most of the people who suffered the worst losses are the year-round hardworking locals, too.
I dont in any way want to minimize the damage Hurricane Katrina did, Rakowski said. But this superstorm did significantly more damage, and it seems to have disappeared off peoples radar.
Rakowski and Fleming are going to make sure it doesnt disappear from Durangos radar. And I guess Im doing my small part to make sure, too.

Skin Care
The Only Way Ever to Apply Your Skin Care Products
Your morning and evening guide to layering your serums, wrinkle-fighters and sunscreens
A.M. Step 1: Get Your Face Really Clean Here's the deal: In order to get those hydrating, plumping and brightening products you pay pretty pennies for into your skin, you have to remove buildup first. "Even the best products won't work if there is debris or oil on the skin," says Craig Kraffert, M.D. and president of Korean skin care line Amarté. Cleanser is a must for those with oily skin, but dermatologist Dendy Engelman, M.D., says that those with extra dry skin can get by with misting their face with water or toner.
Kraffert recommends using a cleanser that gently exfoliates, like Amarté Exfoliating Cleanser.

What comes first? Forget the chicken and the egg, we're talking about our skin care products, like serum, moisturizer, face oil and sunscreen. A cabinet full of products to keep you blemish-, wrinkle- and sun spot-free means nothing if you don't know in what order to apply them. Instead of slapping them on and crossing our fingers, we conducted a skin care nerd-out session with board certified dermatologists Dendy Engelman, M.D., and Craig Kraffert, M.D., who is also the president of Korean skincare line Amarté. We grilled them to find out which products should be applied first, last and everywhere in between so that they can perform exactly as they're supposed to. Here, these derms school us in the exhaustive process of layering skin care.

The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are hoping a change of scenery will give two disappointing first-round picks an opportunity to realize their potential.
The Chiefs traded wide receiver Jon Baldwin to the 49ers on Monday for fellow wideout A.J. Jenkins. It's the second significant trade between the teams this year after the Chiefs sent two draft picks to San Francisco in the offseason to acquire quarterback Alex Smith.
"We are pleased to add Jonathan to our team and look forward to incorporating him into our offense," 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. "Both players have been presented a great opportunity for a new beginning with their respective teams."
Baldwin was the 26th overall choice of the Chiefs in 2011, but he's had a tumultuous career right from the start. Baldwin broke his thumb his rookie season when he got into a fight with a teammate, and then struggled to adapt to three head coaches in his first three seasons.
He's also had trouble with dropped passes throughout training camp under new coach Andy Reid, including one when he was wide open in last Friday night's preseason loss to San Francisco.
That drop alone apparently was not enough to dissuade the 49ers from making the deal.
"There's no reason that both of these guys can't end up having a great career," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "Both of these young men have that opportunity, and they definitely have the ability and license to get it done."
Jenkins was the 30th overall pick of the 49ers last year, but may have had a more perplexing rookie season than Baldwin. He appeared in three games but did not make a catch, even though he was healthy throughout his team's NFC championship season.
"We felt like this trade was beneficial for all parties involved," said Chiefs general manager John Dorsey, who was hired in January to replace the fired Scott Pioli — the GM who drafted Baldwin.
Dorsey and Reid clearly weren't enamored of the big wide receiver after breaking down video of him upon their arrival. One of their major acquisitions in free agency was Donnie Avery, a veteran wide receiver who was expected to compete with Baldwin for the job opposite Dwayne Bowe.
Baldwin didn't do much to change the Chiefs' opinion of him this offseason, either.
Even though they're desperate to give Smith some downfield options, Baldwin never seized upon the opportunity. He routinely dropped balls in practice, struggled to get open in preseason games and never showed signs of being the kind of playmaker the Chiefs need on the outside.
"You don't know what you will get out of him," Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson said before Sunday's practice. "If he's down from drops or mental errors or whatever it is, you just work yourself out of it. You continue to press on. We always talk about short-term memory. You have to have it in this business and move on."
Otherwise, your team eventually will move on, as Kansas City did Monday.
The 49ers are hopeful that Baldwin can flourish without having to deal with the pressure that came with being a primary target in Kansas City. Even though Michael Crabtree is out with a torn Achilles tendon, San Francisco still has veteran Anquan Boldin, Kyle Williams, Mario Manningham when healthy, and tight end Vernon Davis to carry most of the load in its passing game.
Still, all that help wasn't enough to help Jenkins break out. The speedy wide receiver had another rough preseason showing against the Chiefs last Friday night, and many were beginning to question whether the former Illinois star would even make the team.
He was targeted twice in the game, but failed to catch either pass. Jenkins had one reception in the 49ers' preseason opener against Denver, but also lost a fumble.
"I have to support the organization and my coach, but I think it's a great stepping stone for him because he gets to start over and start new," Davis said Monday. "To me, he still has a lot of potential. His career's not over. He's just starting somewhere else."
Williams said the opportunity to reunite with Smith could help things click for Jenkins, who was often criticized for his work ethic and off-the-field habits in San Francisco.
"Honestly, I'm happy for him," Williams said. "It's kind of a breath of fresh air. He gets to go over there, get in a new system, get over there with Alex, and Alex will bring him up to speed. I couldn't be happier for him, because I know it's going to be a great opportunity for him."

Emily got a storyline with Ezra and Ella, Hanna got a storyline with Wren, Jenna actually asked to interact with a Liar on purpose, and Mona was your sweetest dream, your most beautiful nightmare.
Now that the Liars know Jenna can see, they're taking great precautions not to arouse her suspicions when they form their morning trust circle to talk about what a horrible human being she is. Instead of doing it three feet in front of her face, they do it four feet in front of her face. Hanna's like, "Just watching her read braille makes me sick!" "Imagine having to fake it for so long," says Emily, like a former man-dating lesbian who found her way. Tired of watching them watch her, Jenna closes her book and click-clacks away.
The Liars talk about how Spencer's family only speaks in clipped, cryptic phrases and ominous half-threats, so there's no telling how long it will be before her mom can form a full sentence to let Spencer know she's defending a serial killer. Hanna has been robbing Aria's closet, I guess, because one minute she's dressed like if the Easter Bunny had a humanoid child with any old bohemian from the East Village, and the next minute she's dressed like a real estate agent from The Kingdom of Caring. Maybe it's because it's time for the Liars to stand together and Care Bear Stare Lucas into taking a shower.
Lucas runs through the halls pushing over more people than a girl pretending to be destitute of vision. Hanna finds him in a classroom setting fire to a principal's note reprimanding him for having a bad attitude. He is taking his breakup with Caleb really hard. Hanna's like, "Loving legitimately insane people is kind of my deal. Hold still while I give you a makeover." But he does not hold still! He runs from the room hollering, "Doooooom and damn you all!" When Caleb rushes in to put out the trash can fire, he acts like it's the most dangerous thing he's ever seen in his life — which is a pretty good indicator that Hanna's been sugar-coating all her bitching about A.
I don't know what was going on with the title credits last night, but it sounded like all accordion and no voices. I thought maybe it was on purpose, but the regular song was back when the show went up on Hulu this morning.
Anyway, Hanna and Caleb head on over to Rear Window Brew for a tasty treat. Caleb is like, "Just so we're clear, I don't want you seeing Mona anymore. I'm not trying to boss you around, but I'm a little worried she's going to put your head in her mouth like a lion and chomp off your face." Hanna smiles sweetly and goes, "It's so cute how you think you can tell me my business."
Aria and Jenna are walking arm-in-arm down the hallway, and like I've said a million times before, Lucy Hale has chemistry even with inanimate objects, so AriaBot is now a thing I'm shipping. Jenna invites Aria over after school to play some music and throw some pottery and maybe take a roofied ride around town in her monster truck. She goes, "See you there, Aria!"
And in the lunchroom Emily is like, "See you there? Those were her exact words? What a bitch." Emily's got bigger problems, though. For example, she scored a 94 on her English makeup test, which sends her into an anxiety spiral. Hanna scowls at Spencer and says, "Look what you've done!" But Emily explains that there's no way she made a 94 because she didn't finish the test because she was too busy remembering her vodka-fueled romp around Rosewood with Jenna. She says, hilariously, that this is the "last thing" she needs people thinking about her. OK, because it's cool if people think you murdered your best friend and your girlfriend, buried your therapist alive, burned down the old DiLaurentis place, and helped your buddy drown a hobbit, but what will it do to your reputation if your classmates think you cheated on a test?
Really, though, I think Emily is just f–king tired of the Lies.
Aria goes, "Guys, are we getting paranoid, though?" And the Liars go, "Get back to us when you realize we've been under attack by an invisible sociopathic wizard for three seasons."
Caleb tries to talk to Lucas like Hanna asked him to do, but Lucas is suddenly saying words like his last name is Hastings. He's like, "I feel like I know you, but sometimes my arms bend back. Where I'm from, the birds sing pretty, and there's always music in the air. Bubble gum?" So Caleb leaves because Hanna might collect stray puppies, but that doesn't mean he has to bring them to her doorstep in a wagon.
Emily corners Ella to talk about her grade, like, "Mrs. Montgomery, hi. Listen, every word I say is being recorded at all times by some sort of surveillance device, so for the record, did you cheat on my behalf so I wouldn't fail 11th grade?" Ella smiles, looks right into the camera: "Yes, Emily. Cheating for you is a thing a did. Something about sitting in that chair in that classroom makes a teacher feel things for her students. In this case, it was maternal, but I could see how a handsome young lesbian with a heart of gold and an unnatural attachment to The Great Gatsby might get confused." (Shay Mitchell, how are you getting even more gorgeous?)

Softpedia writes: "PS3 owners have been aware for some time now that they won't have to bother replacing their console with a new, radically different version (a.k.a. PlayStation 4). Sony was never in a hurry to make this kind of severe hardware jumps, and, as the PS3 remains one of the most advanced video gaming consoles on the market, the company's hesitation to make a PS4 is more than predictable. Or is it?
David Reeves, the one who lords over Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, has recently been interviewed by Play magazine and some of his affirmations hint at a sooner-than-we-might-think timetable for the launch of the PS4. Sony had already said that it thought of the PS3 as a console meant to last a whole decade. Here's how Reeves interprets the "decade" - "I don't know whether the PS3 lifespan will be eight, nine or ten years." It's true that we shouldn't attach an official announcement veneer to such an unclear statement. Still, that's not exactly the same assured tone of previous comments made by Sony people on the subject. So, why the change?"
Just like were probably getting the Xbox 720 and Wii 2 in less then 10 years as well. Newer consoles may come out but that doesn't kill the support for the older ones to last that long. Just look at PS2. We didn't wait for the PS2 to turn 10 for the PS3. That would be insane.
Isn't it kinda obvious we're gonna get it in less than ten years.
no sh!t sherlock... The "lifespan" of the PS3 will be 10 years.The PS3 doesn't have to die before the next generation comes out.Damn pointless articles. Back to killzone 2

EDMONTON, Alberta _ Flyers coach Peter Laviolette sharply criticized his fading team after its 2-0 loss to lowly Edmonton on Thursday.
Laviolette was especially upset about a second period performance that he called "disgraceful" and "horsebleep."
"You'd like to think that it serves as a wake-up call, because we're in a playoff race," he bristled. "Tonight is unacceptable. We eased our way into the first period, the second period was horsebleep."
In the second period, the Flyers were outscored, 2-0, and outshot, 15-6.
The Flyers, who were coming off a dramatic 5-4 overtime victory in Winnipeg, have not won two straight in six weeks.
"If you take 20 minutes off in a game, it's tough to win," winger Scott Hartnell said. "This is crunch time."
But you wouldn't know it by the way the Flyers' have played in the last six weeks. They haven't won two in a row since Jan. 10 and 12, when they scored one-goal wins over Carolina and the Islanders, respectively. They have won just seven of 18 games (7-8-3) since Jan. 12.
The Flyers allowed another power-play goal last night and lost to a team that is 29th in points out of 30 NHL squads.
Breakaways. The Flyers won just 33 percent of the faceoffs. Brayden Schenn won 2 of 10 draws, and Danny Briere won 3 of 15.....Schenn and Claude Giroux each had five shots......Matt Read, who has one goal in his last 14 games, and Briere had no shots.....Andrej Meszaros led the Flyers with four hits....The Flyers, who have been blanked in their last two visits to Edmonton, are in Calgary on Saturday night, then conclude the four-game trip in San Jose on Tuesday.

Fall 2008
Language Schools MiddNews PDF Version
For a printable PDF version of the Fall 2008 newsletter, please click here.
Madrid Government, Monterey Institute, and Middlebury Collaborate on "Global Action" Project
Last summer Middlebury began a partnership with its Schools Abroad program in Spain and the Monterey Institute of International Studies for a month-long immersion program for Spanish teachers of English. Forty teachers from Spain were in Vermont under the aegis of the government of Madrid to develop bilingual teaching methodologies to enhance their teaching of the English language in subject areas such as science and art.
The cadre of teachers came to two sites in the U.S. for a month of formalized immersion in English. Half were based at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont, while the other half were located at California State University at Monterey Bay.
Reflecting on the significance of the program, Dean Renée Jourdenais of the Graduate School of Language and Educational Linguistics at the Monterey Institute said: "Middlebury and MIIS are well situated and well suited to collaborate in order to meet the world's growing need for quality language education and trained language educators. Our shared educational missions and global perspectives really make collaboration easy. Independently, we're both excellent institutions; combined, we're a formidable powerhouse of expertise in language education."
Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy Launched
The Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy (MMLA), a summer language immersion program for pre-college students, launched its inaugural session last June. Four-week residential camps offering Arabic, Chinese, French, and Spanish were held at three locations: St. Michael's College in Colchester, Vermont; Menlo College in Atherton, California; and Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. The Hampshire College program was offered jointly by the Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy and the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth.
More than 600 students-24 percent of whom received financial assistance-participated in the program under the guidance of 140 faculty and staff members, including experienced language teachers from public, private, and international schools in North America, Central America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Students returning home to their middle and high schools found that language levels had been raised significantly in the MMLA programs, which utilized a modified version of Middlebury's renowned Language Pledge.
Language Schools Alumni Return
Dozens of alumni from all the Language Schools returned to campus for a weekend in early August. The weekend featured films, sports, and concerts and was bookended by a symposium on the topic of national identities expressed through film and literature, with speakers from Iraq, Uruguay, Italy, and France focusing on their experiences as filmmakers, professors, and writers; and the annual alumni career panel, featuring John Riggs (French) of the American Hospital of Paris; Anthony Jewett (Chinese), founder of Bardoli Global, Inc.; Carolyn Gengo Di Domenico (Italian), founder of La Piazza di Carolina for children; James Feldkamp (Japanese) of BBK Ltd., Shanghai; and Elisabeth Wheeler (Italian), senior international analyst, NC4.
The Schools will host another open house weekend next summer; watch the Web site for further information: http://www.middlebury.edu/alumni/ls.
Allen Goodman Receives Honorary Degree
Allan E. Goodman, president of the Institute of International Education, delivered the Language Schools commencement address and was awarded an honorary doctor of letters degree. Discussing the importance of language learning, Goodman told the students that graduates of American colleges and universities should be required to have a passport, which they must prove they have used at least once, as well as know another language.
"I am humbled and also inspired by the degree you have given me. Through it, your trustees have recognized the importance of all who work to promote international education and mutual understanding."
At the conclusion of the 94th summer session, President Liebowitz and Vice President Michael Geisler awarded degrees to 151 master of arts candidates in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. Six candidates received doctorates in modern languages. Awards for distinguished study were also given to select students in the schools of Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, and Portuguese.
The commencement ceremony was also notable for several beginnings and a farewell. Susan Carvalho, who retired as the director of the Spanish School, was recognized for her years of service. An MA was awarded at commencement to Naichi Shih, of Taiwan, as the College's first recipient of the Master of Arts degree in Chinese. Students may choose to complete the degree over four summers on the Vermont campus, or in two summers at Middlebury with an academic year in between at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, which is how Naichi completed her MA.
The Brandeis University-Middlebury College School of Hebrew held its inaugural session, and Vardit Ringvald, the School's director, served as one of the faculty marshals in the commencement ceremony. The School of Hebrew in 2008 enrolled 27 students from the U.S. and abroad, hosted eight guest lecturers, screened 30 films, and mounted a Hebrew version of the story Aladdin, written entirely by students.
Katheryn W. Davis Fellowships Thriving
For the second consecutive year, Middlebury received a generous donation from Kathryn Wasserman Davis that fully funds 100 Language School students across six languages. Conceived as a one-time scholarship, the donation has been extended for several years as the Kathryn Davis Fellowships for Peace: Investing in the Study of Critical Languages. This dramatically increases the potential for working professionals and exceptional students, both undergraduate and graduate, to benefit from the Middlebury Language Schools programs in Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Portuguese, and Russian.
Language Schools to Open Second Site in California
In response to increasing demand for admission to the Middlebury Language Schools, President Ronald D. Liebowitz announced that the College will open a second site on the campus of Mills College in Oakland, California, beginning in 2009. Middlebury at Mills will provide instruction in Arabic, French, Italian, and Spanish.
Mills is located minutes from downtown San Francisco, in the heart of one of America's most diverse metropolitan areas and within easy reach of Berkeley, Napa, and Silicon Valley.
"Over the past several years, we have seen a steady increase in both the number of applications we receive and our total enrollment," says Michael Geisler, Vice President for Language Schools, Schools Abroad, and Graduate Programs. "Expanding beyond our Vermont campus seemed to be an efficient response to a growing demand for our immersion language programs." The Language Schools have seen a rise in applications from students residing in the western states, so the addition of a second site at Mills College creates an opportunity to broaden the current student base and allow the program to build on the College's affiliation with the Monterey Institute of International.

Water Lilies Icon Crop Jean is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nelly145 from Not my favorite colors Let me start by saying that if not for the colors, these ankle jeans would be perfect. They are super soft and comfortable, and fit like a glove. The quality is great. The only reason I returned them is because the color wasn't as shown (the downside of online shopping vs. in store). I did not realize there was so much vivid mint green and yellow in them. Together with the bright blue and coral, this is just too bright and busy for my taste. Just the blue and coral would have been amazing. If you're looking for bright pants, you might like these. If not for the colors, I would have kept them.

They are my new favorite pair of jeans and with all the different colors there are so many different tops you can pair with them to stand out even more. Would definitely recommend these jeans if you are considering purchasing them.

Please see that reference for more details. There is a biographical sketch of him on pages 82,84 of that volume. Pierre was born in 1816 and died in 1860. He is descended from one of the oldest families in the province of Lorraine (the families records track back to 1633). In 1843 he took over the family business (the Andrew Vilmorin Company in Paris, France). That is all the information I have on this picture. I am not researching this line, just saw the photo and thought I'd post it.

Atlanta, GA – Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life and niece of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said today that African American hopelessness documented in a new Pew Research poll is linked in part to the high abortion rate in the black community. The Pew poll, released Tuesday, found that less than half of African Americans believe life will get better for them.
"Children are the future. When you destroy your children, you destroy hope," said Dr. King. "The incredibly high number of abortions performed on black women in this country has to take a toll not just on the women involved, but also on their families, friends, and communities. If African Americans feel that life will not get better, I have to believe that abortion is feeding into that hopelessness."
"I know from personal experience that abortion causes depression, regret, and despair," added Dr. King. "I also know from personal experience that this despair can be healed and the wounded can be brought back to joy and hope through faith. What I want the government to do is guarantee our basic rights and the most basic right is the right to life. If we love and welcome our children, optimism for the future can only increase."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Men's High Jump
Robert Dunning
"I felt pretty excited. I was a little bit nervous. I had to go back and forth for the 111H. Today was a good day."
Women's Javelin
Emma Fitzgerald
"There were a lot of athletes here who hadn't thrown the 500 before. I knew the technique of throwing the smaller jav. I knew how it felt to throw with a smaller jav. I'd been throwing in a curtain all winter, I hadn't really practiced at all.
"I was feeling really confident coming in here."
Men's 100m
Amir Rasul
"I never really had a good takeoff. I went back to the lab this year and worked on it so much. Now this year was a snap, and it's ready. As soon as I got that take off down pat, everything else came together and was just downhill from there.
"There were a lot of good competitors, lot of 9th graders,a lot of people my age, 10th, 11th graders. They all did well. I wish them the best of luck."
Men's 110m Hurdles
Amere Lattin
"Before all of this, my coach just told me, "execute the blocks, execute the blocks." I was always the last one out, but I have a strong finish. So to put all of that together, it was a huge PR for me and a big surprise.
"I usually warm up over 36 inch hurdles. So it wasn't really that big of an adjustment. When I got down, I felt like they were so little. So I thought just execute my race and everything will be alright."
Men's 400m
Andrew James
"I was coming out here to PR, but I didn't achieve that. I'll just have to work from that.
The reason I came out here was for the competition. My number one dream is to go to China and to compete in the Youth Olympics."
Women's Triple Jump
Chinne Okoronokwo
"I wasn't doing too well and it took until my last jump to get a good jump and I was really happy with that one. I PR'd by over a foot, so that felt really good. I really wanted to try my best to get a mark that would help me make the team and go to China. That would be such an amazing opportunity. I've only been out of the country twice, so that would be so cool."
Women's 800m
Mikaela Smith
"I didn't run the time that I wanted to but it's early. I ran 2:11 last week so it felt weird, it didn't feel right, but I got the win. I knew (Erinn Stenman-Fahey, CAN) was a finisher, I studied her videos. She goes out easy her first lap. So I went off her pace and then broke off when I knew I had to go. I just went."
Women's Discus
Haley Showalter
"I threw 153 (feet) and that was a PR for me by two feet. I was really excited about it. I had a PR the very first meet of the season and the weather conditions weren't great. The past two weeks have been a little rough, so it meant a lot to get a PR and the win today. I've never been out of the country and this is my first time competing with other countries, so it would mean a lot to compete at that level."
Men's 800m
Myles Marshall
"It was surprising. I thought I left him back with 80 meters to go. This whole year, I haven't been used to having someone there with me for the last 100m. It's something I need to work on this season. I wanted to come out here to win and I did. It could've been in 1:55 and I would've been happy with the win."
Men's 400m Hurdles
Rai Benjamin
"It was my first 400m hurdles of the season.It went pretty well. I switched legs. In some more races, I'll be fine. I've not had much of a chance to go outside and practice because I live in New York where it's cold. When I get the chance, I go over one or two to try to get accustomed to it. I came here yesterday and went over some hurdles (in practice). It was pretty good."
"That indoor season was surprising to me, too. My coach kept telling me it was there, it was there. I was a bit timid at first. I just ran through it.
Women's 1,500m
Malia Ethington
The 1500m felt great. It was really exciting to run with these girls from different countries. It was really cool. The prospect of going to China is really exciting.
Men's 200m
Noah Lyles
"I was so excited to get out there and run again after the prelim. I was so psyched with my time, to get 20. I just did nationals and I didn't think I'd be doing that great. My brother and my mom said that I'd do it here. I didn't believe them. I just ran like I knew I could and it ended up being great."

Well, it looks like Dell has managed to close the deal to acquire Quest Technology, a transaction that appeared to have hit the rocks on May 25. The deal is for $2.4 billion, or $28 a share. When I last wrote about the potential deal, I thought that it was a bad one for Dell and I don't see anything in the new detail to make me believe any different. The same difficulties of a fragmented software portfolio assembled over time being acquired by a hardware company exist.
But perhaps Dell views the Quest portfolio as a way to make a statement in software that broadens the strategic value that it can bring to customers through enterprise software, something that Dell hasn't been known for in the past. If so, I hope that it takes the necessary steps to retain all the programming talent in Quest for more than six or twelve months. If not, the fear is that the talent will ebb away and take a lot of the value with it.
There's no doubt that Dell can afford to acquire Quest. The question now is how Quest responds to being acquired. And on another topic altogether, whether the well-regarded "The Experts Conference" (TEC) will continue in its present form. It would be a great pity if TEC disappeared after corporate accountants go through the normal cost excising process that invariably follows post-acquisition. Many folks in the Active Directory, PowerShell, and Exchange communities hope that TEC continues. I hope Dell believes that this would be a good thing too!

The first volume of his two-volume history was published in 2001 and covers Reagan's ascent to the presidency in 1980; the second volume, on which Steve is working, will cover Reagan's presidency. When he completes the second volume The Age of Reagan will constitute a conservative counterweight to Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.'s endless, unfinished The Age of Roosevelt.
Steve's terrific essay on the development of Reagan's thought is featured in the new issue of the Claremont Review of Books, a quarterly magazine that has become my favorite periodical. Steve's essay is "How Reagan became Reagan."

Dahlia (White) - Plant
The plant is potted in 6 inch plastic Pot
Description for Dahlia (White)
The origin of Dahlia is in Mexico. It came in India around the year of 1860. At first, farming of Dahlia was rare, due to the problem of keeping the plant alive for next year. From the middle of twentieth century, farming of Dahlia advanced rapidly. As that time people discovered, by doing late cutting, it is possible to keep the plant alive throughout the year.
Now they are one of the major attraction in our annual garden, though they belong to a separate group (Bulb). There are many varieties available now, consists of the major groups, namely; pompon dahlia small and medium cactus dahlia small and medium decorative dahlia and large decorative dahlia. Dahlia flower comes in different colour and shapes. The size of the flowers varies from 2 inches to 10 inches in diameter. The petals also vary from single to honeycomb type.
Their sunlight requirement is very high. So plant it, where you can get sunlight throughout the day, or at least six hours in a day.
With a multitude of different colours, shapes and sizes, Dahlias bring life and beauty to your landscape in late summer and into the fall months. The diversity of the Dahlia allow you to use them in many different aspects of your landscape design, from low growing border plants to stately background plantings that may reach six feet in height!
Dahlias make excellent cut flowers, which will typically last about a week in the house.
|Common name
|Flower colours
|Bloom time
|Single Flowered Dahlia ,dahlia,Dahlia coccinea
|Mid-summer to autumn
|40cm-1.5m (16in-5ft)
Planting and care
When & Where to Plant : For best results, dahlias should be planted from mid April through May for most areas. Ground temperature approx. 60 degrees. (exceptions will be hot climates). In general about the same time you would plant your vegetable garden. Dahlias need a sunny location to thrive. An area that receives at least 8 hours of direct sunlight is best. Less sun equals taller plants and less blooms. Exception for hot climates, they will need morning sunlight, afternoon shade.
|Full sun
|Ground should be warm, well drained at planting, and in an open sunny location. If you have a heavier soil, add in sand, peat moss or bagged steer manure to lighten and loosen the soil texture for better drainage. Bone meal is ideal at planting time, put a small handful in the hole and work in well before planting tuber.
PH level of your soil should be 6.5-7.0, slightly acidic. Lay the tuber horizontally 4-6 inch deep, about 18 to 24inch apart, and then cover with soil. DO NOT WATER TUBERS AFTER PLANTING!! Please wait to water until after the sprouts have appeared above the ground. The exception will be in hot climates, where they should be watered very lightly.
|Most areas have enough rain to fill dahlia water needs until the sprouts appear above the ground. After dahlias are established, a deep watering 2-3 times a week for at least 30 minutes with a sprinkler, more required during warmer dryer weather. Hotter climates will need to water more often as conditions require. Proper watering promotes proper blooming.
|If you plant your dahlias in the early spring, the cold soil hinders initial growth -- your soil needs to be warmer than 62 degrees Fahrenheit for tuber sprouting.
|Dahlias benefit from a low-nitrogen liquid fertilizer (similar to what you would use for vegetables) such as a 5-10-10 or 10-20-20. Fertilize after sprouting and then every 3 to 4 weeks from mid-summer until early Autumn. Do NOT over-fertilize, especially with nitrogen, or you risk small/no blooms, weak tubers, or rot.
Caring for Dahlia
- There s no need to water the soil until the dahlia plants appear; in fact, over-watering can cause tubers to rot.
- After dahlias are established, provide a deep watering 2 to 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes with a sprinkler (and more in dry, hot climates).
- Like many large-flower hybrid plants, the big dahlias may need extra attention before or after rain, when open blooms tend to fill up with water or take a beating from the wind.
- Bedding dahlias need no staking or dis-budding; simply pinch out the growing point to encourage bushiness, and deadhead as the flowers fade.
- Pinch the centre shoot just above the third set of leaves.
- For the taller dahlias, insert stakes at planting time.
- Moderately pinch, dis-branch, and dis-bud, and deadhead to produce a showy display for 3 months or more.
- Dahlia foliage blackens with the first frost.
- Dahlias are hearty to zone 8 and can be cut back and left in the ground to overwinter; cover with a deep, dry mulch.
- Elsewhere, the tuberous roots should be lifted and stored during the winter.

Pint-sized scrapper 'liked wrestling more than eating'
Stellar career in the ring was marred only by the near-miss loss of an Olympic medal
By Tom HAWTHORN, Special to The Globe and Mail Thursday, December 11, 2003 - Page R11
He was a Regina stonecutter who used his strength to good effect in the wrestling ring. Vern PETTIGREW, who has died at 95, was an athlete whose career was marred only by the near-miss loss of an Olympic medal.
Competing for Canada, Mr. PETTIGREW finished in fourth place in the featherweight division of the freestyle-wrestling competition at the Berlin Olympics in 1936. The 28-year-old stonecutter with a chiselled physique had dominated his Swedish opponent when the match suddenly ended with Mr. PETTIGREW disqualified for using an illegal hold. The Swede went on to claim the bronze medal, while Mr. PETTIGREW spent the next 67 years contemplating the unfairness of a verdict that denied him Olympic glory.
"One call made all the difference," he told The Regina Leader-Post in 1996. "You can't quarrel, but it was terrible. It was a legal hold, but they said it was illegal. I could have been standing on the podium, but you can't cry about it."
Even before the devastating verdict, Canadian wrestlers had expressed their unhappiness with the officiating at the tournament.
The team felt European officials, versed in the more rigid dictates of the Greco-Roman discipline, were unfamiliar with the rules of freestyle, or catch-as-catch-can, wrestling. For instance, the Canadians relied heavily on leg holds, only to discover the judges did not award points for the manoeuvre. Canada claimed only one of 18 freestyle medals awarded at the 1936 Games, a bronze for Joseph SCHLEIMER, a lightweight from Toronto.
Mr. PETTIGREW retained his amateur status after returning from the Games, continuing to dominate his weight class in Canada. He stepped away from the mat as a competitor in 1940, having won five national championships. He was also known as an eager participant in exhibition matches, willing to take on all comers.
"I liked wrestling more than eating," he once said.
John Vernon PETTIGREW was born on March 30, 1908, in Durham, Ontario He moved with his family to Biggar, Saskatchewan., two years later, before settling in Regina in 1919.
Wrestling was perhaps a natural sport for a pint-sized boy born as part of a baker's dozen brood of PETTIGREWs. He learned the formal rules and tactics of the sport at the old Young Men's Christian Association in Regina, "a stinkin' Y with a pool as big as my kitchen," he told the Leader-Post.
Wrestling was conducted in a small basement room reached by a long flight of stairs. "It was never washed. No wonder we got big scabs on our knees."
He claimed his first Dominion featherweight crown in 1933 and dominated his weight division in Saskatchewan, where he won 10 provincial championships.
He was accompanied on the long journey by train and ocean liner to Germany in 1936 by fellow Regina wrestler George CHIGA. A 210-pound (95-kilogram) heavyweight, Mr. CHIGA dwarfed his featherweight friend, who weighed closer to 134 pounds (61 kilograms).
One of the more memorable experiences in the athlete's camp was Mr. PETTIGREW's first viewing of that science-fiction dream called television. He also met the great American track athlete Jesse OWENS, whose humility and friendliness in trying circumstances Mr. PETTIGREW never forgot. Like many of the athletes, however, Mr. PETTIGREW remained unaware of, or unconcerned about, the intentions of the Nazi regime, for which the Games were a propaganda exercise.
A first-round victory over Karel KVACEK of Czechoslovakia impressed Canadian Press correspondent Elmer DULMAGE, who wrote that Mr. PETTIGREW "gives a pretty fair imitation of lightning."
The Regina wrestler defeated Marco GAVELLI of Italy and Hector RISKE of Belgium, but was pinned at two minutes, 13 seconds of a fourth-round match by Francis MILLARD of the United States. The controversial disqualification against Gosta JONSSON of Sweden eliminated Mr. PETTIGREW from the medals. Kustaa PIHLAJAMAKI of Finland won the featherweight gold, while Mr. MILLARD took silver and Mr. JONSSON got bronze.
Mr. PETTIGREW retired from wrestling not long after joining the Regina fire department in 1939. He retired as battalion fire chief in 1973. He then worked part-time at a local funeral home, which years later would handle his remains.
Mr. PETTIGREW, who died in Regina on October 29, leaves a daughter and two sons. He was predeceased by his wife Jean; by his eldest son, Robert; and by all 12 of his siblings.
In all the years since leaving Berlin, he never quite overcame the sense that he had been robbed of a chance for an Olympic medal. "It always bugs you," he said.

Talus Pinot Noir 2003
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
Responsible for the vast majority of American wine production, if California were a country, it would be the world's fourth largest wine-producing nation. The state's diverse terrain and microclimates allow for an incredible range of wine styles, and unlike tradition-bound Europe, experimentation is more than welcome here. Wineries range from tiny, family-owned boutiques to massive corporations, and price and production are equally varied—plenty of inexpensive bulk wine is made in the Central Valley area, while Napa Valley is responsible for some of the world's most prestigious and expensive "cult" wines.
Each American Viticultural Area (AVA) and sub-AVA of has its own distinct personality, allowing California to produce wine of every fashion: from bone dry to unctuously sweet, still to sparkling, light and fresh to rich and full-bodied. In the Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate vineyard acreage. Sonoma County is best known for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. The Central Coast has carved out a niche with Rhône Blends blends based on Grenache and Syrah, while Mendocino has found success with cool climate varieties such as Pinot noir, Riesling and Gewürztraminer. With all the diversity that California has to offer, any wine lover will find something to get excited about here.
One of the most difficult yet rewarding grapes to grow, Pinot Noir is commonly referred to by winemakers as the "heartbreak grape." However, the greatest red wines of Burgundy prove that it is unquestionably worth the effort. More reflective than most varieties of the land on which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate, requires low yields to achieve high quality, and demands care in the vineyard and lots of attention in the winery. It is an important component of Champagne and the only variety permitted in red Burgundy. Pinot Noir enjoys immense popularity internationally, most notably in Oregon, California, and New Zealand.
In the Glass
Pinot Noir Is all about red fruit—strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. It is relatively pale in color with soft tannins and lively acidity. It ranges in body from very light to the heavier side of medium, typically landing somewhere in the middle—giving it extensive possibilities for food pairing. With age (of which the best examples can handle an astounding amount), it can develop hauntingly beautiful characteristics of fresh earth, autumn leaves, and truffles.
Perfect Pairings
Pinot's healthy acidity cuts through the oiliness of pink-fleshed fish like salmon, ocean trout, and tuna. Its mild mannered tannins don't fight with spicy food, and give it enough structure to pair with all sorts of poultry—chicken, quail, and especially duck. As the namesake wine of Boeuf Bourguignon, it can even match with heavier fare. Pinot Noir is also very vegetarian-friendly—most notably with any dish that features mushrooms.
Sommelier Secret
Pinot Noir is dangerously drinkable, highly addictive, and has a bad habit of emptying the wallet. Look for affordable but still delicious examples from Germany (as Spätburgunder), Italy (as Pinot Nero), Chile, New Zealand, and France's Loire Valley and Alsace regions.

Prompt Payment
The Office of the State Comptroller is enforcing new payment procedures mandating electronic payment to vendors. Payment for invoices submitted by the vendor shall only be rendered electronically unless payment by paper check is expressly authorized in advance by Accounts Payable due to extenuating circumstances. Once an office receives an approved Purchase Order, they should direct vendors to authorization forms which are available at the OSC website at www.osc.state.ny.us/epay/index.htm, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone at 518-474-4032. To avoid this process, P-cards should be used when possible. Contact Accounts Payable with questions.
Section 179 of the State Finance Law requires New York State to pay vendors in a manner consistent with accepted business practices. Specifically, the law requires that when vendors are not paid within 30 calendar days (excluding legal holidays) after delivering acceptable goods/services and a proper invoice to the designated Payable Office, interest will begin to accrue. Interest will be calculated using the "overpayment rate" set by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance. Interest will only be paid when it exceeds $10 per invoice and when payment is made directly by the State rather than through an intermediary organization such as the Trustee for Certificates of Participation, issued pursuant to Article 5-A of the State Finance Law.
If a department or individual on its own authority, acting as an agent for the University, chooses to change the Purchase Order's designated Payable Office, that department shall solely bear the burden of proof of receipt of the vendor's proper invoice and assume any and all interest charges as stipulated by New York State's Prompt Payment Legislation from that point forward. If the department fails to properly record receipt date of vendor invoice, Accounts Payable will add four days to the invoice date and apply this as the invoice receipt date for interest calculation.
