Chinese Wine?
Grape wine has been produced in China for millenia, although it seems to have gone in and out of fashion. Today there are over 800 wineries and the industry is experiencing double digit growth in production. China is now the world's sixth largest producer of grape wine (1), and according to a recent report (The Future of Wine, by UK wine merchants Berry Brothers and Rudd) could produce wine to 'rival the best of Bordeaux'. (2)
The Bordeaux reference fits nicely, as my introduction to Chinese wine begins with Cabernet Sauvignon. Holy Green Pepper, Batman! The 2006 Dragon's Hollow Cabernet Sauvignon was so green peppery that it took a little while for some other notes to reveal themselves - some Cocoa and cheese rind, green wood, and dark fruit in the background - but not a great nose. The odd nose did not carry to the palate - very smooth, but also very vegetal and tart. I think my bro-in-law summed it up: "Tastes ok, but smells bad".
cork. 12.5% alcohol
Score: 13/20
Price: C$14.75 (SAQ)
My take - young vines, probably picked early, which is unsurprising in an industry experiencing such growth (i.e. lots of new plantings) - I have noticed this with young vineyards in Canada and the U.S.

Hi Steve - I always love to try new things. This was my first Chinese wine, so I can only say that it tastes as if the vines are too young, green - there is potential, it will be up to the winemakers to realize this in coming years.
Hi Scott - my email address is toward the bottom on right hand side under "About Me", I look forward to seeing your email

I don't know about you, but whenever I have any overripe bananas that need to be saved, I just toss them in the freezer to be used at a later date. Once frozen, bananas are perfect for making banana bread. Until yesterday, I had no idea how many bananas that I had stashed in my freezer. This morning, I counted at least 2 dozen stray frozen bananas. It's no wonder stuff keeps dropping out of the freezer every time I open the freezer door…
It's been quite a while since I baked anything and I had a bunch of bananas that needed to be used up. Baking loaves of triple chocolate banana bread was the just the ticket to using up that freezer full of bananas. The chocolatey aroma that emitted from my kitchen was nothing short of heavenly. It reminded me of rich chocolate brownies… My triple chocolate banana bread is a riff on my chocolate banana bread recipe with the addition of miniature dark chocolate chips. Seriously, how can anyone go wrong with three different chocolate ingredients in a banana bread recipe? You can't.
Triple Chocolate Banana Bread cooling on a rack… Looks like cake. Tastes like cake. Technically, it's a quick bread. It's moist and dense.
Do you see hints of mini dark chocolate chips throughout the bread? Using miniature chocolate chips provides an even distribution of dark chocolatey goodness throughout the loaf. Got bananas? Love chocolate? Make some Triple Chocolate Banana Bread. Enjoy! Tessa
- 3 – 4 RIPE bananas (peeled and mashed well)
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1 tsp chocolate extract (essence)
- big pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup extra dark cocoa powder
- 4 oz miniature dark chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grab a 4 X 8 loaf pan and spray it with non stick cooking spray. In a medium sized mixing bowl mix the mashed bananas, butter, sugar, egg, and chocolate extract. In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, extra dark cocoa powder and miniature dark chocolate chips. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well. Spoon the mixture into the baking pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack. Slice and serve.
*** If using frozen bananas be sure to thaw them first and to peel them well. Frozen bananas once thawed are mushier than fresh. That's why they work well in banana bread.

Rox Lose Third Straight Game To Willmar
The Rox jumped ahead early but couldn't hold serve in a 6-4 loss to the Willmar Stingers at Joe Faber Field Sunday afternoon. The Rox are now 8-11 and have lost three straight games.
Conor Keniry drove in a pair of runs with a two-out double in the bottom of the third inning to give the Rox a 2-0 lead, but the Stingers responded a run in the fourth inning, then four more in the fifth for a 5-2 lead.
St. Cloud is at Willmar on Monday night.

How Our Brains Set the World Spinning
If there's ever excuse to publish an optical illusion as cool as the "Rotating Snakes," I'll take it. This illusion was invented in 2003 by Akiyoshi Kitaoka of Ritsumeikan University in Japan, and ever since, Kitaoka and other scientists have been trying to figure out why it works. A new paper by Stephen Macknik at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix may have the answer.
As you'll notice, the circles seem to rotate in response to where you look at the illusion. So Macknik and his colleagues tracked the movement of people's eyes as they gazed at two of these wheels on a computer screen. Their subjects kept a finger pressed on a button, lifting it whenever they seemed to see the wheels move.
Macnick and his colleagues found a tight correlation between the onset of the illusion and a kind of involuntary movement our eyes make, known as microsaccades. Even when we're staring at a still object, our eyes keep darting around. These movements, called microsaccades, help us compensate for a peculiar property of the eye: if we stare at an object for too long, the signals each photoreceptor sends to the brain become weaker. Microsaccades refresh the photoreceptors with a different input and breath new life into our perception.
Unfortunately, the jumps of our eyes get in the way of our perception of motion. If we see a snake slithering along in a desert, we don't have to register an entire image of the snake at one instant, then another image at the next instant, and then compare the location of the two images, in order to figure out that the snake is on the move and we might want to jump out of the way. Instead, we only have to sense rapidly changing light patterns in neighboring parts of the eyes. If certain neurons in the vision-processing regions of the brain gets a sudden, strong signal from the eye, they register motion.
Normally, our eyes can register motion despite the fact that they are also performing microsaccades. Our brains can tell the difference between a shift brought on by the movement of an object and one brought on by the movement of our own eyes. But thanks to the strong contrasts and shapes in the Rotating Snakes Illusion, we get mixed up. Our motion sensors switch on, and the snakes start to slither.

[Update: I revised this post to correct the explanation of microsaccades and their function. Thanks to John Kubie for his comments and follow-up emails.]

Cool. But why do I (and I think most people) see motion only in the periphery?
Whichever circle I look at, that's stationary and the other circles are all moving.
I'm guessing that the fovea (the part of the retina which codes the point of fixation) is better at compensating for microsaccades than the parafovea.
Guessing further, perhaps the parafovea doesn't normally need to bother compensating for microsaccades because the retinal "image" is more blurred in the parafovea. Something about the illusion (the high contrast perhaps) overcomes that, giving the motion sensation.
What about something as simple as Extraocular Muscle fatigue (Instability?)
Very interesting. But if these microscaccades cause the illusion, I wonder why we dont get any similar illusion of movement when we see just a rectangular object, with contrastring stripes of colours arranged all along it from left to right.
@Jon Brock: I have the same experience. Any circle not currently in my focus appears in motion. And it even works if they are cut off by the edge of the browser window.
It would be interesting to know whether someone who has had his sight restored after a long period of blindness experiences the illusion.
I just did an experiment.
Blinking with different frequency.
The result is next : for fast (60 Hz) blinking the rotation is present,
for lower 10 Hz frequency the rotation stops. Conclusion : there is a stroboscopic effect, that means we also have to include in analysis the speed of information processing.
Of course it is not statistically enough to build the conclusion one one person, but …
I don't see how this has anything to do with "the quirky evolution of backwards retinas". Please explain.
John–The linked paper shows how the blind spot is a result of the way our retinas are pointed backwards, with the optic nerve going through a portion of it. It's my understanding that saccades allow us to compensate for that.
Does anyone else not see the rotation when they close one eye? Is that normal, or the result of my migraine?
I tried several times but do not see any rotation or snakes. does age has something to with it? I am seventy.
There are quite a number of optical illusions thAt disappear as one stops any saccades, but fixates.
Most of these illusions are geometrical illusions. Interested?
Read "Illusory Illusions: The significance of fixation on the perception of geometrical illusions" by
Fischer,B; daPos,O; Stürzel,F. (2003)Perception 32, 1001-1008.
A colleague and I wrote one of the papers that was cited in this new paper by Otero-Millan, Macknik, and Martinez-Conde (http://www.journalofvision.org/content/5/11/10).
Some other fun facts about this illusion are:
Color makes the illusion stronger. There is also illusory motion in gray-scale versions of the image, but there is no set of four grayscale values that creates as much illusory motion as the colored version that repeats white, yellow, black, blue (and always moves in that direction). Kitaoka has also used red and green, and other colors, besides yellow and blue.
If you keep your eyes still, the motion will slowly grind to a halt over the course of about 4-6 seconds. One cannot keep the eyes completely still (microsaccades will occur, and as the current paper shows, they will cause the illusion to start up again) but you should be able to keep your eyes still enough to see the motion die down or stop completely. This suggests there is something that continues to change dynamically within the visual system, over the course of 4-6 sec, that drives the illusory motion–and then you have to move your eyes to start the process over again if you want to see more motion.
Not everyone sees the illusory motion. My mother doesn't. There are always a few students in my classes who don't see it. So either their eye movements are different, which now seems unlikely given this new paper, or else the dynamic change that occurs over 4-6 sec is different for these people.
First of all, thank you for such fascinating exercise! Peripherally, I see three of the snakes in motion as I'm fixated on the fourth; however, as I blink and refocus on the middle circle, I see all four snakes in motion and the center circle slowly in motion for about three seconds and it stops. At the end of my 5 seconds of staring into the center my eyes do get tired and need to blink again…fun!
I am legally blind in my right eye, due to the advent of the "dry" form of AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration). Although I can still see lawyers, the "Rotating Snakes" illusion does not work for me. Has anyone else with this form of AMD noticed this effect ? I am also incapable of viewing a 3D movie, but understand that this situation should not trouble me.
Mikalai: there is no way you can blink your eyes 60 times in a single second. I'd be surprised if you could even do 6.
Sitting experimenting, I found
1. relaxing my eyes, looking at an imaginary horizon, the movement stopped.
2. Gazing at the horizon through the centre point of the centre, the 4 outer circles seemed more 3 dimensional, Each outer circle became a spiral with the centre furthest away.
Can this be used to test for sight defects or perhaps any other (neurological) abnormalities.
I do not completely understand the explanation of 'why' it works but feel there may be some practical implications of the results.
I am fairly short sighted with one eye worse than the other and looked atthe picture without glasses. It did not seem to make any difference which circle I looked at, the other 3 moved.
U can make the snakes stop if you stare hard enough but they slither away, the second u pull ur focus away.

Modern Unix systems follow a Women Paneled Short Solid Sleeve Dress Casual O8q08TwY for libraries. The version number of a library and the version numbers of libraries on which it depends, are encoded in the library. Also the version number is in some way reflected in its name. The GnuWin dynamic libraries (DLL's) follow a similar versioning scheme.
First, the version number is encoded in the library by adding a resource file to it. You can see the version number by right-clicking on the DLL, choosing Metallic Stripe Camuto Canopy Top Green Peasant Vince Properties and then Version. The version number is at the top this tab page as well as in the list of properties below. This version number is the one from the package, and it may consist of 4 parts: the major number, the minor number, the build number, and the revision number; the revision number is sometimes called the QFE (Quick Fix Engineering) number. If one or more of these subnumbers are omitted in the official package version number, then for the GnuWin library they have been added in the following way: the first empty subnumber is set equal to the number of days elapsed between the day the binary has been created and 1 January 2000, and the next empty one is set equal to the number of seconds elapsed since the start of the day on which the binary was created, divided by 2; both are computed with reference to Universal Coordinated Time (GMT). This practice is copied from Jaded printed red Jaded shorts satin printed red Jaded Jaded printed shorts red satin red satin shorts OwxqnICU practice, although there the numbers are computed with reference to local time. In fact, any GnuWin binary has this version number encoded.
A program can retrieve the version number by calling the Win32 API function Dress Cotton Daytime Elegant Women Casual URIqYHw. Alternatively, DLL's newer than 1 February 2004, support a function DllGetVersion, similar to the sleeveless top V Preen chiffon neck by Cream Studio lace n0xPR8w. DllGetVersion is simpler to use than GetFileVersionInfo. See also the example programs:
The major and minor version numbers are also encoded as the major and minor image version numbers in the header of the libraries and executables. They are in bytes 44 - 47 after the PE signature, which is usually in bytes 0x80 - 0x83, so that the version numbers usually are in bytes 0xC3 - 0xC6; see the navy tall and Ben Sherman oxford shirt Big qA4qHIwpU for more details. These two version numbers can be retrieved with the help of the tall and Big shirt Jasper navy Conran printed by J xOpwaX library functions, in particular Jeans INC Cropped for Size Created Plus I Wash International N Concepts Macy's C Willow Fringe Hem v7vwrz.
Metallic stripes elevate the appeal of this casual-chic peasant top from Vince Camuto with a square neckline and dolman sleeves.
Second, a number is attached to the name of the DLL that reflects its Grey Theory Office Grey Theory Dress Work 11wz6qY interface version number. The Stripe Metallic Peasant Green Camuto Vince Canopy Top interface of a library is the set of global variables and global functions it exports. It is described by three integers:Alexis White Nwot Casual Short Block Blackens Color Dress RURqO
The LibTool version number is usually given in the form current:revision:age. This means that:
The GnuWin DLL's follow the 2 button suit The tailored plain Collection fit jacket Charcoal 0xXUYRw0Lily Lace Kasper White Plus Size Jacket 8WIWw6xAOq of adding Top Peasant Camuto Stripe Vince Green Metallic Canopy current - ageto the name of the DLL. This number is equal to the oldest interface that is still compatible with the latest interface. Usually the LibTool version info is directly set in the Makefile of the library. If no LibTool version info is available, then it is assumed that
so that in effect the major number of the package will be added to the name of the library. If Top Stripe Peasant Green Metallic Canopy Camuto Vince current is equal to age, then the version number would be zero, but then it is usually omitted.
You can see the complete LibTool version number by right-clicking on the DLL, choosing Properties and then Version. The LibTool version number is in the box with the list of properties. A program can retrieve this version number by calling the Win32 API function Dress Cotton Daytime Elegant Women Casual URIqYHw.

In Piece of falling satellite could hit you -- but it's not likely (Detroit Free Press, 11 September 2011) we read
Statistically, there's a 1 in 3,200 chance someone could be hit by one of the 26 objects...expected to crash into Earth's surface [in September].
The headline writer for the print edition of the newspaper created a Forsooth by rewriting this statistic in the secondary headline, beneath "NASA warns: Look out below!", as

What is the payoff for high tech education?
In Classroom of Future, Stagnant Scores by Matt Richtel, New York Times, September 3, 2011.
Technology has changed how we teach our children.
Amy Furman, a seventh-grade English teacher here, roams among 31 students sitting at their desks or in clumps on the floor. They're studying Shakespeare's "As You Like It" — but not in any traditional way. In this technology-centric classroom, students are bent over laptops, some blogging or building Facebook pages from the perspective of Shakespeare's characters. One student compiles a song list from the Internet, picking a tune by the rapper Kanye West to express the emotions of Shakespeare's lovelorn Silvius.
The class, and the Kyrene School District as a whole, offer what some see as a utopian vision of education's future. Classrooms are decked out with laptops, big interactive screens and software that drills students on every basic subject. Under a ballot initiative approved in 2005, the district has invested roughly $33 million in such technologies.
These technology upgrades arebeing implemented in many other school districts. The problem is that all this investment in technology does not appear to have any pay off.
Since 2005, scores in reading and math have stagnated in Kyrene, even as statewide scores have risen. To be sure, test scores can go up or down for many reasons. But to many education experts, something is not adding up — here and across the country. In a nutshell: schools are spending billions on technology, even as they cut budgets and lay off teachers, with little proof that this approach is improving basic learning.
The backers of this new technology alternate between fighting
Some backers of this idea say standardized tests, the most widely used measure of student performance, don't capture the breadth of skills that computers can help develop.
and apologizing
"The data is pretty weak. It's very difficult when we're pressed to come up with convincing data," said Tom Vander Ark, the former executive director for education at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and an investor in educational technology companies. When it comes to showing results, he said, "We better put up or shut up."
and relying on intuition
"My gut is telling me we've had growth," said David K. Schauer, the superintendent here. "But we have to have some measure that is valid, and we don't have that."
1. Why is it difficult to get valid data to measure the impact of technology upgrades?
2. Should technology upgrades wait until there is quantitative proof of its value?
Data science is hot
Data scientist: The hot new gig in tech
by Michal Lev-Ram, CNNMoney online, 6 September 2011
This is an online reprint of an article that appeared in Fortune magazine on 5 September. After decades of jokes about "lies, damned lies and statisics", recent years have seen statistics jobs listed on numerous lists of top employment opportunities. So as the semester begins, it's nice to be able share with students some stories about our new, higher profile.
The emerging positions have a variety of names. Last month the Wall Street Journal (4 August 2011) ran a story entitled Business schools plan leap into data, where we read:
Faced with an increasing stream of data from the Web and other electronic sources, many companies are seeking managers who can make sense of the numbers through the growing practice of data analytics, also known as business intelligence. Finding qualified candidates has proven difficult, but business schools hope to fill the talent gap.

Facial frivolity
"The NFL's Best-Looking Team"
by Reed Albergotti, The Wall Street Journal, September 8, 2011
At the Journal's request, researchers at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania analyzed the facial structure of a sampling of 320 NFL starters (five offensive and five defensive players from each team). They also threw in two of the most photographed personalities on any team, the owner and the head coach.
The researchers programmed a computer to measure attractiveness with respect to facial symmetry. Their results gave first-place ranking to the one of the lowest performing teams, the Buffalo Bills ("99.495533373140" out of 100 possible points). And they ranked at the bottom a much more successful team, the Kansas City Chiefs ("94.609018741541"). The top and bottom player positions were, respectively, kicker and wide receiver. Apparently "average people" score in the "high 80s."
The article includes the summary score (to 12 decimal places) for each team, as well as the names of the players, coaches and owners in the survey.[1]
A blogger[2] commented: "This article is proof that some people should not have computers and access to data."
Submitted by Margaret Cibes
As further evidence in support of that last assertion, Paul Alper sent a link to the ARK CODE Home Page, where we read:
As a U.S. Coast Guard officer/military planner with Hebrew skills, I needed to know if Drosnin's predictions [from The Bible Code ] were valid; and suspected that a real Code would include the location of the Ark.
(You can find more discussion of Bible Codes in the Chance News archives here and here.)
Worst graph of the year
Andrew Gelman's blog awarded (Worst) graph of the year honors to the following:
This graphic was reproduced in a Wired magazine article (14 September 2011), as part of a PowerPoint presentation that was supposedly shown at an FBI training program (with a disclaimer stating the the views expressed do not necessarily reflect the views of the US government!). The commentary on the blog is all worth reading. Andrew concludes with this: "Perhaps the same crew can arrange a presentation for the Army Corps of Engineers, discussing the techniques used in the parting of the Red Sea?"

More on satellite debris
Apparently the satellite Forsooth was not simply a headline editing issue. Priscilla Bremser wrote to say that it has now been discussed on the SIGMAA-QL discussion list, where one reader (Martha Smith) reported hearing on the radio that "The odds that someone will be hit by debris are 1 in 3200." Here is how the problem is diagnosed in that discussion:
It [the original headline] referred to "The probability of the event 'someone will be hit by debris'," rather than "The probability of the event, 'a randomly chosen person will be hit by debris'." But we often use the language "The probability that someone ..." with the latter meaning.
It is also noted that other news stories have been more careful with the distinction. For example, an NPR story said
NASA put the chances that somebody somewhere on Earth will get hurt at 1 in 3,200. But any one person's odds of being struck have been estimated at 1 in 21 trillion.

Glossary of Poetic Terms
Something in the world of the senses, including an action, that reveals or is a sign for something else, often abstract or otherworldly. A rose, for example, has long been considered a symbol of love and affection.
Every word denotes, refers to, or labels something in the world, but a symbol (to which a word, of course, may point) has a concreteness not shared by language, and can point to something that transcends ordinary experience. Poets such as William Blake and W.B. Yeats often use symbols when they believe in—or seek—a transcendental (religious or spiritual) reality.
A metaphor compares two or more things that are no more and no less real than anything else in the world. For a metaphor to be symbolic, one of its pair of elements must reveal something else transcendental. In "To the Rose upon the Rood of Time," for instance, Yeats's image of the rose on the cross symbolizes the joining of flesh and spirit. As Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren write in their book Understanding Poetry (3rd ed., 1960),"The symbol may be regarded as a metaphor from which the first term has been omitted."

BitGo, a bitcoin security platform that operates an online wallet for individuals, said Monday it raised $12 million in Series A funding in a round led by Menlo Park, Calif.-based Redpoint Ventures.
Redpoint has backed companies including Zendesk and the payments company Stripe. New investors in the round included Ashton Kutcher\'s A-Grade Investments, Peter Thiel\'s Founders Fund, Radar Partners, Barry Silbert\'s Bitcoin Opportunity Corp., Liberty City Ventures, and Crypto Currency Partners. Existing investors Bridgescale Partners, Jeff Skoll, Bill Lee and Eric Hahn also took part in the round.
\"BitGo's mission is to secure the world's Bitcoin,\" said Will O'Brien, chief executive and co-founder of BitGo, in a statement. \"By solving Bitcoin's early security concerns for our customers and industry partners, BitGo is excited to help the Bitcoin industry grow with what we believe will be a speed and scale comparable to the Internet itself.\"
Bitcoin is a digital currency that is sent through an open-source, decentralized network. It gained popularity in 2013 as proponents, including venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, argued that the technology behind bitcoin could revolutionize the way money is sent around the world by lowering costs and reducing transaction times.
Some major retailers have begun accepting the digital currency, in part as a way to attract new customers. Expedia Inc. enabled bitcoin payments for hotel bookings last week and Overstock.com Inc. announced it had done more than $1 million in bitcoin sales in March, two months after it began accepting the digital currency.

Seattle keeps pace in Wild Card race with sweep
SEATTLE -- Hisashi Iwakuma continued the Mariners' stunning run of sterling pitching with 6 2/3 scoreless innings Wednesday night and Kendrys Morales delivered a two-run home run as Seattle capped a critical homestand with a 2-0 victory over the Blue Jays.
Iwakuma scattered five hits as he hiked his record to 11-6 with a 2.72 ERA and completed a three-game sweep of Toronto. The win capped an 8-1 homestand and kept Seattle in a tie with the Tigers for the second American League Wild Card berth with a 65-55 record.View Full Game Coverage
SEATTLE -- Hisashi Iwakuma continued the Mariners' stunning run of sterling pitching with 6 2/3 scoreless innings Wednesday night and Kendrys Morales delivered a two-run home run as Seattle capped a critical homestand with a 2-0 victory over the Blue Jays.
Iwakuma scattered five hits as he hiked his record to 11-6 with a 2.72 ERA and completed a three-game sweep of Toronto. The win capped an 8-1 homestand and kept Seattle in a tie with the Tigers for the second American League Wild Card berth with a 65-55 record.View Full Game Coverage
"It was a big series," Iwakuma said through translator Antony Suzuki. "Winning the first two of the three was big and I needed to finish up the series strong. I was very excited from the beginning and I'm very happy with the win."
Mariners pitchers have now allowed three or fewer runs in a club record 12 straight games, which ties for the second-longest such streak by an AL team since 2000 (the Royals had a 13-game run in 2013).
Toronto came into the series tied with Seattle, but wound up being outscored 19-4 despite having the third-highest scoring offense in the league.
"They shut down our offense, stone cold," said Blue Jays skipper John Gibbons. "We scored a few last night, but it was pretty much a mismatch. They get to the 'pen, and there's no let up down there either."
The 8-1 mark ties for the second-best homestand of at least seven games in Mariners history, behind only an 11-1 run in 2001. Seattle also went 8-1 in a 2012 homestand. There have been 224 homestands of seven or more games in franchise history.
Iwakuma came into the game ranked eighth in the AL in ERA, third in WHIP and first in strikeout-to-walk ratio and he did nothing to hurt those numbers in a 101-pitch outing in which he walked one with five strikeouts. After missing the first month with a strained finger tendon, the 33-year-old has grown increasingly effective in the past six weeks and is 6-2 with a 1.83 ERA with four walks and 54 strikeouts in nine starts since July 1.
Relievers Charlie Furbush, Danny Farquhar, Yoervis Medina and Fernando Rodney finished off the shutout for Seattle, with Rodney racking up his 35th save to move back into a tie for the league lead with the Royals' Greg Holland.
Pitching has carried the Mariners all season and they lowered their AL-leading ERA to 2.95 with their eighth shutout of the season.
"Heck, tonight a two-run home run in the first is all it took," said catcher Mike Zunino. "It's incredible. Our starters and our relievers, I feel like, are the best in baseball. We feel like we have a lead and we have confidence. Obviously we always want to tack on more, but it's just something where we [get] a little extra boost when they're out there."
Morales supplied all the offense that was needed as he continued his recent surge with an arching two-run blast into the right-field seats off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey in the first inning. It was Morales' second home run in as many nights after not going deep in his first 16 games with the Mariners following his acquisition from the Twins.
"He just left it up and I was able to connect well," Morales said through interpreter Fernando Alcala. "I've hit against him in the past and it's not easy."
"I thought it was a good knuckleball," said Dickey. "I tried to elevate one to get him to swing through it and he tomahawked it out. I have to tip my hat. But outside of that I felt like I battled pretty good tonight."
Morales went 2-for-3 with a walk, raising his average to .206 with Seattle and .225 on the season. He has shown signs of breaking out in the last five games, hitting .350 (7-for-20) with two doubles and two home runs.
"The coaches have corrected a few things in my swing," he said. "I'm feeling really comfortable and hopefully that continues going forward. They brought me here for a reason. While I haven't had the results up to this point, I'm going to keep working hard to bring that production."
With the Tigers beating the Pirates earlier in the day, Seattle had to win to stay in a tie for the second Wild Card position. But with their three-game sweep, the Mariners have put a three-game cushion between themselves and the Blue Jays, the next-closest pursuer in the playoff chase.
The Mariners have been better on the road most of the year with a 31-23 record, but the successful homestand improved their record to 34-32 at Safeco Field. Of Seattle's 42 remaining games, 27 are on the road, beginning with a three-game series in Detroit starting Friday.
"It was a good homestand and our guys should be proud of it, but it's over now," said manager Lloyd McClendon. "We've got to get ready for the Tigers on Friday. We'll enjoy it for another 15-20 minutes and get our thoughts on them. But it was a great homestand, no question."

How Do You Keep Productivity High For On-The-Go Workers?
Closed: 2 Dec 2008, 11:59PM PT
We recently talked about the crowdsourced whitepaper that's being put together here on Techdirt via the Insight Community, and that process continues. Content continues to be placed regularly on the Digital Nomads blog, including this great piece by Zack Miller on how allowing workers to be mobile decreases overhead for both employees and employers. We've also just released the second wiki article on managing digital nomads. Go take a look. And, right here, we've got the latest case on this topic, generating more insights and analysis from you, the wider community.
From both the digital nomad's perspective and the perspective of anyone who manages digital nomads, one of the biggest challenges is in maintaining productivity on the go. For some, the freedom of being a digital nomad allows them to be more productive, by letting them work at the best time and the most convenient places. However, for others, the lack of structure makes productivity difficult. For those of you who are digital nomads, what strategies do you employ to make sure you remain motivated and productive on the go.

I am happy to announce that a Southern Oregon winery, Spangler Vineyards of Roseburg, won the Best of Show award for its 2010 Grenache at the 2013 Newport Seafood and Wine Festival.
This festival is the longest running, and arguably the most prestigious, wine festival in the Pacific Northwest. This superb red wine, from one of the finest winemakers in the United States, was the flat-out choice for Best of Show among a very tight field of gold medal contenders.
I have been a judge at this festival for more than 25 years and do not remember a wine so clearly deserving of the highest award that we could give. Grenache, when well made, is driven by dark spice, rich palate grip, almost plum-cake aromas and undulating, layered flavors of dark fruit throughout the palate. As for all wines, grenache needs to be well balanced with spice, wood, bouquet, palate weight, and good fruit and acidity to be considered for a medal.
Spangler's was mind-blowing in every respect and stood out for its excellence. I do not know when Pat and Loree Spangler are going to release this wine to the public, nor do I know what price they will be selling it for, but it's easy to contact them — either on the Web at www.spanglervineyards.com or by heading north on Interstate 5 and taking exit 199 to Highway 42. On the left side of the road you will see Winery Lane. Zip down the long driveway and you will run into the well-appointed tasting room. It is well worth the trip.
Professional commercial wine judging has been part of my life for well over three decades. I have participated in many events, but find Newport to be especially rewarding — not only for the level of judges but for the incredible care given to wine entrants and the professionalism of the support staff who make the judging go so smoothly.
Joseph Swafford, the founding and current director of the judging, has done a marvelous job in all aspects: hiring the support staff, receiving the wine entrants, feeding and housing the judges and seeing that discussion and awards are done in a timely and professional manner. Believe me, these duties are not easy, and I think Joseph deserves much respect from the Oregon winery folks for his attentiveness in making sure that every wine submitted receives superb treatment before, during and after the competition.
Commercial judging follows a strict code of behavior that has been honed from countless events over the years. Let's look at judging methodology:
1. Judges are of an odd number to lessen the chance of a "tie" vote. At Newport there are five judges: one woman and four men. We all bring a different palate to the competition, but follow one cardinal rule: We allow for stylistic variances in every flight of wines judged. For example, even though a judge might prefer a steely, dry chardonnay, he would give the more buttery entrants the same level of respect.
2. All judges, at all times, respect the director, the staff, the wines entered (regardless of how "bad" the wine appears) and each other.
3. No discussion is allowed while wines are being evaluated. Discussion commences after every judge puts his or her pencil down and is ready to discuss the wines.
4. No single judge begins a discussion of medal merit. The director chooses at his discretion who will begin every new medal discussion. No one judge dominates the competition.
More on commercial wine judging next week.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - President Donald Trump has been standing strong against Iran.
Who is trying to undercut his efforts? Former Secretary of State John Kerry, according to a recent report by the Boston Globe.
The Globe's story is saying that Kerry, a private citizen, is engaging in shadowy diplomacy to try to save the failed nuclear deal he helped engineer. Kerry has reportedly met twice with Iran's foreign minister to discuss the deal with Iran.
Kerry meeting with Iranian officials gives them stature and credibility. It shows that the United States is not united against Iran's dangerous actions and nasty rhetoric.
Kerry also appears to be breaking the law. He may be violating the Logan Act which makes it criminal for private individuals to negotiate with foreign governments who have a dispute with the United States, which Iran sure does.
Keep in mind the original investigation into former National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn reportedly began because of potential Logan Act violations. Those alleged violations stem from when Flynn, as incoming national security advisor, spoke with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. about issues such as the conflict in Syria and defeating ISIS during the transition from President Obama to President Trump.
Here is the bottom line: Kerry's reported actions are idiotic, just like the deal with Iran that he negotiated. Kerry has to stop undercutting American foreign policy. In terms of criminality, common-thinking was that the Logan Act is no longer good law. However, if it was really used as the premise to investigate Flynn, Kerry's alleged violations of the Logan Act should also be fully investigated.

Communication lacking for Red Sox
Pitching coach McClure fired
When Josh Beckett missed a start because of a sore lower back earlier this month, Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine was asked by a reporter if the righthander would pitch in the bullpen before he returned to the mound.
Valentine said he didn't know for sure, but imagined that Beckett would.
A day later, when asked the same question, Valentine smiled and shook his head.
"I probably should know that, right?'' he said.
Beckett's locker is seven steps from Valentine's office at Fenway Park. A dozen steps the other way is the office pitching coach Bob McClure shared with the other coaches, before he was fired on Monday. But somehow Valentine did not know, or wasn't properly informed, about the readiness of one of his most important players.
As the Red Sox stagger to the end of what could be their third consecutive season without a spot in the playoffs, broken lines of communication are one of the underlying reasons for their 59-63 record. What was once a model organization is now marked by distrust and the inability of team executives, coaches, and players to work cohesively.
Players take their concerns directly to general manager Ben Cherington or even owner John Henry, bypassing baseball's usual chain of command at several levels.
Even elemental issues such as determining when a player will get a day off to care for an injury have become contentious.
"I think all of us can safely say we made some mistakes,'' McClure said last week.
Until recent weeks, after all sides agreed to try harder to make it work, Valentine's conversations with McClure were dominated by one- or two-word sentences. Bench coach Tim Bogar and bullpen coach Gary Tuck spoke to the manager even less at times.
Valentine, in the first year of a two-year contract, had one group of coaches he bonded with (those he had a hand in hiring) and another he didn't (those he inherited).
"After a while, I just figured that was the way it was going to be,'' Valentine said. "If I needed information, I found a way to get it.''
The situation grew so tense in late June that Bogar and McClure, two of the coaches Valentine inherited, considered asking for reassignment within the organization, according to two major league sources.
Cherington stepped in shortly after, urging Valentine and the coaches to put aside their differences.
"There was an effort made on everyone's part,'' Cherington said in an interview with the Globe Friday. "Every season in the big leagues, to me anyway, is a precious opportunity. We owed it to each other to do whatever we could to take advantage of that opportunity. There was renewed commitment to communication. It hasn't translated into wins on the field as much as we've wanted.''
The discord filtered into the clubhouse, leaving the players wedged in the middle or forced to take sides. Former manager Terry Francona used his bench coaches, first Brad Mills and then DeMarlo Hale, as liaisons to the players. They quietly kept the players informed about what Francona was planning, and disagreements were largely handled before they became public.
Under Valentine, that pipeline never opened because he and Bogar did not get along.
Bogar spends ample time with the players, often pulling up a chair in the clubhouse to talk to small groups. But he and Valentine, until recent weeks, spoke only when necessary. Even during games, they rarely stood together.
As a player, Bogar was released by Valentine in 1997, and was bitter about it at the time. Bogar denied that was the cause of the friction between the two — "Come on, that was [15] years ago,'' he said — but acknowledged their relationship has been rocky.
"It took some time for everybody to get on the right page,'' Bogar said. "Communication is body language, it's how you ask questions. The way certain people do it and the way other people do it, it's hard to decipher what exactly the meaning is. It took a long time to go in the right direction.
"Communication has to work upward and downward. If you consider [the coaches] between the players and the manager, then we have to work down and work up. It has to be circular. If it's not circular, it doesn't work.''
When those circles led to dead ends, some of the players interceded. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez has attempted to serve as a bridge between the factions, taking concerns the coaches had about Valentine's strategy back to the manager.
David Ortiz, the team's longest-tenured player, also supported Valentine and urged teammates to do the same.
"I think Bobby has tried to do the right things for this team,'' Ortiz said. "Some people are with him, some people are not. But we're supposed to be a team. The situation hasn't been good sometimes.''
Team president Larry Lucchino has said Valentine will not be fired before the end of the season. But Lucchino has left open the idea of change, and if Valentine survives this season, the coaching staff will be molded more to his liking.
"There are a lot of issues we need to examine,'' Lucchino said. "The staff has to be able to work together.''
When Valentine was hired last November, he was strongly urged by the front office to retain Bogar, Tuck, and hitting coach Dave Magadan, who were still under contract and highly regarded by Cherington.
Valentine was allowed to bring in third base coach Jerry Royster, a former teammate in the Dodgers organization. Valentine also hired Randy Niemann, once his bullpen coach with the Mets, as the assistant pitching coach. Niemann was named to succeed McClure on Monday.
The sides agreed on first base coach Alex Ochoa, a rising coaching star in the organization who played two seasons under Valentine in New York.
The pitching coach became a sticking point. Several candidates were considered before the Red Sox promoted McClure, who had been hired only weeks earlier as a minor league instructor and scout.
Valentine, in his previous stops as a manager, relied heavily on his pitching coach. But he and McClure were at odds even during spring training over how best to prepare the pitchers, what roles they should take on the staff, and even their pitching mechanics.
Valentine, for example, believed righthander Daniel Bard would be more effective pitching from the stretch position than the windup, something McClure dismissed by saying Valentine never pitched.
"That's probably harder on him because he's the manager and he wants things done a certain way,'' McClure said. "Some of the coaches he ended up with, he might have had someone else in mind. It was probably harder on him than it needed to be. I needed to take that into account.''
Said Valentine: "I can't go ask 12 players how they feel that day. That's why you have the pitching coach. It's about getting information, and for a while, I wasn't getting information.''
Earlier this month, when the Red Sox were using six starting pitchers instead of the usual five, righthander Aaron Cook complained directly to Cherington about not knowing what day he would pitch instead of asking Valentine.
He was encouraged to go over the manager's head by several other veteran pitchers, according to a team source.
Such incidents, while minor, have become commonplace and speak to the fractured nature of the team.
Cherington believes his relationship with Valentine is productive, saying the two speak frequently and have generally worked in concert regarding roster moves. Valentine has publicly agreed.
Valentine has gotten along well with Cherington when compared to the clashes he had with team officials in New York and during his six seasons in Japan.
"I think Ben has done a fabulous job, I really do,'' Valentine said.
But there is an underlying tension that goes back to last fall ,when Valentine emerged as a candidate to replace Francona only after Cherington's first choice, Dale Sveum, was rejected by ownership.
The Sox strive to be unified, but often come off as anything but. Last month, when left fielder Carl Crawford was given a day off, Valentine said it was part of a program mandated by the trainers. Crawford denied any knowledge of it and Cherington said it was up to Valentine to pick the day off.
The cloudiness has become exasperating for all involved.
"What you want is when the players hit the field, for there to be as little distraction as possible and for expectations to be as clear as possible. The expectation part is communicated mostly by the staff,'' Cherington said.
"When the staff is working together well, there's a better chance of that happening.''
Instead, the Red Sox are on pace to finish with a losing record for the first time since 1997. Cherington, who replaced Theo Epstein 10 months ago, said the communication has to improve for the results to follow.
"We need to be better. We need to collectively be better,'' Cherington said. "You can't keep staring at the same thing and hoping it gets better. It needs to get better and it's our job to make it better.
"Change doesn't necessarily mean personnel change. But we need to look at how we're doing things and find a better way.''

Dale Coyne Racing using Mike Conway in 2nd entry for Belle Isle doubleheaders
INDIANAPOLIS – Dale Coyne Racing has tabbed Mike Conway to drive its second entry this weekend in Detroit.
Conway raced once this year for Bobby Rahal at Long Beach. He qualified fifth and finished 25th.
It was his first IndyCar race since he walked away from A.J. Foyt Racing before last September's season finale because he was uncomfortable racing on ovals. Conway is interested in a partial program running street and road course events.
The Saturday and Sunday races at Belle Isle are on a street course.
Coyne's No. 18 Honda was driven in the first five races this year by Ana Beatriz. She was only scheduled to run through the Indianapolis 500, and Coyne said he will be looking at several driver combinations for the rest of the season.

Redknapp: Serbia scenes a disgrace
Harry Redknapp is appalled by the "disgusting" scenes involving former charge Danny Rose on Tuesday night and has joined the chorus of those calling for Serbia to be punished.
England Under-21s' progress to Euro 2013 was marred in Krusevac, where their play-off victory was followed by a mass confrontation on the pitch. Tottenham's Rose, on loan at Sunderland, was sent off for his reaction to what he clearly felt was racist abuse, something the Serbian FA have denied.
Redknapp managed the left-back during their time at White Hart Lane and joined those urging the governing bodies to act appropriately, and he said: "They obviously couldn't take losing, the Serbians, and they reacted terribly. It was a disgrace, really. It was nothing to do with sport. It was absolutely disgusting."
He added: "It was disappointing to see something like that in a football stadium. I thought those days were gone. I read in the build-up to the game that people were saying it was going to be a real cauldron, a real difficult place with a hostile atmosphere.
"It's difficult, though. What do you do? You could suspend Serbia from world football but the senior team - what's it got to do with them? They weren't involved.
"You're talking about a mindless part of the fans. It is not everybody. I am sure there were some great people there last night with their families, their kids watching the game.
"It is just the minority that cause all the problems and were certainly a disgrace to the country. How harsh a ban or whatever you do to the Serbia teams, I don't know. It is a difficult one but you certainly just can't let them get away with it."
Redknapp was surprised to hear the Serbian FA's denial of wrongdoing and their comments that Rose behaved in an "inappropriate, unsportsmanlike and vulgar manner" towards their fans.
"I am sure Danny didn't start it," Redknapp said, speaking at the Tullow Oil Golf Day, which aims to raise more than £150,000 for CLIC Sargent. "He was obviously racially abused and that is something certainly we don't want to see anywhere in the world.
"I don't know what the crowd were doing. I would be a liar if I said I did. I didn't see the game, I only saw the highlights and what went on afterwards."

Irvine Ranch and UC Irvine researchers are undergoing a project that examines the ranch's native plant communities and its potentially threatening, non-native plant species.
The research project is the first launched that's part of a five-year, $1-million grant awarded to UCI in November by the Irvine Co. and its chairman, Donald Bren. The researchers will scientifically investigate the ranch's environmental challenges and come up with solutions.
Some of the ranch's non-native plants were brought over from the Mediterranean rim by California's early Spanish colonialists.Those foreign plants thrived in the Southern California climate, which is similar to sections of the Mediterranean.
But over time, the non-native species have started pushing out the native ones, which are important for sustaining the wildlife whose habitat is the land in and around Irvine Ranch, scientists say.
The agricultural practices that accompanied the cultivation of non-native flora also affected the survival of the native plants. Many of the non-natives thrived in a disturbed environment, continuing to grow even if they were plowed by machines, grazed on by animals or singed by brush fires. The native plants, however, did not grow well under such adverse conditions.
"It's the initial disturbance — whether it's overgrazing, frequent fire or a plow — that takes out the adult native community," said Megan Lulow, the senior field ecologist at the Irvine Ranch Conservancy.
The Irvine Ranch covers 93,000 acres — or one-fifth of the surface area of Orange County — and stretches from Newport Coast to the Cleveland National Forest.
As part of his philanthropy, Bren donated more than half of the ranch land — 50,000 acres — for permanent environmental conservation.
The Newport Beach billionaire also created the conservancy and set aside $50 million for the long-term management, preservation and restoration of the land's natural resources, according to a biography of Bren posted on the Irvine Co.'s website.
The new research project is focusing mostly on coastal sage scrub in the ranch's Loma Ridge area. Lulow said many locals would recognize the plant.
"When you're walking or hiking, it's all the scrub that you see," she said.
Native wildlife — such as the coastal cactus wren, the California gnatcatcher, bobcats, foxes, coyotes and mountain lions — depend on the scrub. But as the native community becomes more threatened, she said, the opportunity for growth and to produce more seedlings becomes difficult.
"The native community is having a hard time colonizing these patches because the non-native has taken hold," she said.
That's where UCI comes in.
Diane Pataki, director of the Center for Environmental Biology at UCI, and her team are studying how to save the coastal sage scrub and other native species by using restorative ecological techniques.
"Oftentimes restorations aren't successful because if you … plant seeds, there is still going to be competition," Lulow said.
Lulow said that weed control and microbial research will come into play while finding the best way to re-establish the indigenous plant communities.
"We're testing different microbes in the soil," Pataki said. "It's really difficult to do. The non-natives come right back. That's part of the research … what makes the (non-native) seeds so invasive?"
Pataki is looking forward to doing valuable research in her campus' backyard.
"People have wanted to work there for a long time," she said. "Coastal sage scrub used to be really prevalent. There is certainly the possibility for certain species to go extinct."

About a month ago, Gary Regan devoted his SF Chron column to examining the intersection of food and beverage. I'm not talking about pairings, but instead food as an ingredient in cocktails. The technique of fat washing is an example of what I mean: you take some bacon, for example, and steep it in bourbon for a while. Remove it, fine strain out the solids, and then freeze the bourbon. The spirit itself won't freeze, but the fat that's suspended within it will rise to the top, which makes it easy to remove and discard–or reuse, I suppose, if you'd like some bourbon-flavored lard for any reason. Think about chilling a chicken stock after you've made it; same thing happens with stock that happens with bourbon.
Now, Gary went on to describe something that isn't really much like fat washing at all; in fact, it was such an abrupt segue that I think it didn't really belong in that particular column. What he described was a drink called the Canary Flip, a drink created by a Brisbane bartender. A flip, if you don't know, is a drink made by shaking up your drink ingredients with a whole egg. Flips were common in colonial times, but today, only cocktail geeks like me seem to make them anymore.
Shame, that. I mixed up the Canary Flip recently, and Jen and I loved it. It was a good use for Fernet Branca, a bitter Italian aperitif that many drink straight. I can't really stand it on its own, but it's good in cocktails, when it's in balance with the other flavors. It's absolutely perfect in the Canary Flip. In this drink, it's mixed up with Chartreuse, cognac, simple syrup, and the aforementioned egg. The result is a delightfully complex drink, herbal, rich, and creamy. It's not at all cloying and it has a wonderful mouthfeel. This one's a keeper!
Canary Flip

For the second year in a row, the Pittsburgh Center for Sports Media and Marketing welcomed leading Turner Broadcasting executive Jeff Gregor to speak to Point Park students during the spring semester.
Gregor, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for TNT and TBS and general manager of TCM, had lunch with students to answer their career-related questions on March 5. Following the luncheon, he led a one-hour PowerPoint presentation on The Strategy Behind Turner Classic Movies in the Lawrence Hall Ballroom.
"Classic movies are timeless," Gregor stressed to the group, ranging from aspiring broadcasters to filmmakers. "At TCM, our audience's passion is a central part of our success, so we surveyed our fans to better understand how much passion they have for our product compared to other brands."
Senior broadcasting reporting major Kenneth Musgrove said he took away a new lesson from this year's presentation.
"I had the chance to hear Mr. Gregor speak when he was on campus last year," remarked Musgrove. "This year I learned that it is important to know who your audience is so you can work to figure out how to keep them intrigued."
At Turner Broadcasting, some of Gregor's responsibilities include leading entertainment marketing and on-air promotions for TNT, TBS and TCM, overseeing programming on TCM and working to cultivate TCM's passionate fan base.
"This event was informative, fun and filled with a purpose," said Heidi Schlegel, a senior majoring in cinema arts. "These types of events are incredibly beneficial to students because they give us a sense of excitement and determination to one day reach such a level of success."
