Beyond Port and Sherry, here are a few of our favorites:
Sauternes – the golden wine of the Sauternes region in
Bordeaux, these wines are made with botrytis-affected
grapes and produce a rich, honeyed concoction with an amazing balance of sweetness and acidity.
Don’t discount Sauternes'
neighbor, Barsac, or even the region across the river, Loupiac. Made in the same style, wines from both regions
carry a lower price tag but deliver the same quality.
Ice Wine – Ice wines are made from grapes that are picked in the dead of winter. The
grapes shrivel and then freeze, concentrating the sugar and protecting the grapes. Ice wine is a luscious nectar-like wine
- the best are from Canada (Inniskillin) and
Germany, made from grapes like
Riesling and Vidal (found in Canada).
Tokay – The Hungarian wine from the region of the same name. Drunk by European kings for centuries, Tokay is another
botrytis-affected wine, but made in a different fashion than most. Tokay comes in levels of sweetness, called puttonyos. The
higher the | puttonyos, the sweeter the wine. For pure nectar, try Tokay Essencia, a wine so delectable, it's drunk by the spoonful.
Stickies – Australian sweet wines made most often
from botrytis-affected Muscat or Muscadelle.

New promos hint of UK copycat house
Will the season be "British BB down under"?
A fresh round of Big Brother promos have begun airing this weekend, featuring Sonia Kruger emerging from the Big Brother eye and floating about on some flashy CGI stairs.
She’s decided to keep her wardrobe conservative by wearing the same outfit as the previous shuffle promo… or more likely both promos were shot on the same day. :-)
While Sonia doesn’t tell us anything new other than the usual commercial TV guff, the ad does give some hints of where the season is heading. It’s a frame-by-frame copy of a Big Brother UK ad that aired last year (watch both below). Channel Nine and Southern Star have already looked to the | UK for inspiration on previous promos and even the Big Brother logo itself.
So with the new season being heavily influenced by our British cousins, what could we potentially expect?
- When it switched to a new channel, BBUK canned the live internet feeds. This is looking likely to happen on BBAU.
- Evictions are held next to the house and involve a large crowd who greet (or boo) the evicted housemate as soon as they come out.
- BBUK’s companion show “Bit on the side” airs later in the night and includes panelists and callers who discuss the latest house events. There’s | [

State Board of Education Hearing July 9, 2003 by Steven Schafersman, President
Texas Citizens for Science
The Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture has submitted "A Preliminary Analysis of the Treatment of Evolution in Biology Textbooks" to the Texas State Board of Education that discusses the eleven biology textbooks being considered for adoption. The analysis is based entirely on Icons of Evolution by Jonathan Wells of the Discovery Institute, and deals with four subjects covered by most of the biology books: 1. The Miller-Urey abiogenesis experiment, 2. The Cambrian explosion, 3. Haeckel's drawings of vertebrate embryos, and 4. The Peppered Moths and industrial melanism. The DI analysis exactly follows Icons of Evolution, a book that has been rigorously examined, harshly criticized, and thoroughly refuted by scientists in dozens of reviews in scientific journals. Scientists criticized the book for misuse of scientific data, misrepresentation of the relevant facts and arguments under consideration, use of sophistic arguments that | mislead scientifically ill-informed readers, omission of significant information that negates the intended conclusion, and a harsh, anti-scientific attitude that attempts to use popularization, illogical reasoning, and political intimidation to achieve public acceptance of anti-ev | [

Sara Zarr image by Ron Hogan via FlickrBy BOB ANDELMAN
The life of young adult novelist Sara Zarr has changed dramatically in the last three years, following publication of her first book, Story of a Girl.
That book led her to be a finalist for the 2007 National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. She didn’t win, but as I told her in our first interview, the morning after the awards, she might have been better off without that first book pressure.
And she never did hit a sophomore jinx: her second work, Sweethearts, was every bit as good and clever as book #1.
Now book #3, the just published Once Was Lost, confirms Zarr’s talents as an inventive storyteller of consistent and lasting talent. And this is a very different story than her first two; forget about this writer taking the easy, familiar path.
This is Sara Zarr’s third appearance on Mr. Media Radio, making her the first guest to return so many times.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Sara Hammond had 22 points and 11 rebounds to help No. 13 Louisville beat St. John's 62-55 on Sunday in the Big East women's tournament quarterfinals.

After trailing by three at the half, Shoni Schimmel's 3 | -pointer gave Louisville a 32-30 lead with 16 minutes left. Hammond followed with a three-point play moments later to extend the advantage. St. John's hung around over the next 11 minutes and trailed 54-50 after Nadirah McKenith's free throws with 3:11 left.

Bill would allow non-doctors to perform abortions in California
A state senator is proposing to significantly expand access to abortion in California by allowing licensed nurse practitioners, physician assistants and nurse midwives to perform nonsurgical versions of the procedure in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Sen. Christine Kehoe (D-San Diego) late last week introduced SB1501, which would allow medical | professionals who are not doctors to perform aspiration abortions, which is the procedure most often used to terminate a pregnancy in the first trimester.
Kehoe said she introduced the bill because half of California's counties do not have an abortion provider. The proposal is cosponsored by the leaders of each house of the Legislature, a sign it has significant support in the Democrat-dominated body.
"We believe it will give many California women access to earlier, safer procedures in the first trimester of their pregnancy," Kehoe said at a news conference in Sacramento on Tuesday | [

Members of the Aquilini family — who own the Vancouver Canucks — were fined the biggest amount in B.C. last year for worker-safety violations.
WorkSafeBC vice-president Al Johnson said on Monday that a farm vehicle used to transport workers on an Aquilini enterprise was not maintained in a “safe operating condition.”
The Aquilini’s were fined $125,277, topping a list of 260 penalties levied by the worker-safety agency last year.
Johnson said the fine was large because it was “the same type of violation as happened a year before.”
“This was one of those things where they should have known better,” he said.
The 570-hectare agricultural property, called the Golden Eagle blueberry farm, is located | in the 16300-block Aquilini Avenue in Pitt Meadows.
It is owned by Francesco Aquilini, Roberto Aquilini and Elisa Aquilini.
Johnson said the intent of the fine was to get the employer’s attention.
“We use it as a tool to motivate employers’ compliance. We’re hoping this won’t happen again,” he said.

Starting on Monday, Memorial Day, the Walk of Honor is on the move at Idlewilde Cemetery.
The Japanese-Anerican Memorial pays tribute to local citizens who served in the military and died in service or came back to the mid-Columbia to live.
"We're pretty excited. We have a big Memorial Day planned," said Dennis Leonard, commander of Hood River American Legion, which each year stages the Memorial Day ceremony at Idlewilde.
This year the 11 a.m. observance brings the unveiling of the new memorial stone honoring 140 Japanese-American soldiers.
Here is Monday's schedule:
The service will open with the national anthem played by the HRVHS band, followed by an opening welcome and a prayer. Nick Kirby will read "The Ragged Old Flag" and Dana Branson will sing.
Presentation of flowers happens between 11:25-11:35, followed by the HRVHS band and the poem "In Flanders Field."
At about 11:45 a.m., Niko Yasui will present the story of Pvt. Frank Hachiya, a Hood River valley native who gave his life in service during World War | II. Completing the service is an address by U.S. Rep. Greg Walden.
Yasui's presentation is a reprise of his role in last year's Cemetery Tales, in which actors do graveside presentations portraying people buried at Idlewilde.

NORMAN — U.S. Department of Defense grants have more than doubled for University of Oklahoma research projects in recent years, and, according to Vice President of Research Dr. Kelven Droegemeier, results will aid much more than just the military.
“The Department of Defense funds research in cancer, brain injury and behavioral science for issues of privacy and policy,” Droegemeier said. “The research applications from D.O.D. projects are very broad and many aren’t specific to actual ‘defense’.”
Droegemeier said the boost in defense research grants had largely to do with an initiative lauched in response to a gaping disparity between the university’s reliance on defense grants and available funding.
“We found that 54 percent of the federal research budget was available through the D.O.D., and we were only using 6 percent of defense grants in our budget here at OU — our portfolio was unbalanced so we created an initiative to specifically emphasize helping faculty pursue defense/security/intelligence grants,” Droegemeier said.
Due to Norman’s expertise in radar development, many of the projects center on production of prototype radars for identifying aircraft missiles, tracking points of origin on enemy missiles/mortar shells and development | of surveillance drones.
None of the university’s defense projects are weaponized.
“The work we’re doing with defense grants is more general and tends toward intelligence, but it’s also applicable to weather detection as well,” Droegemeier said.
One example of a D.O.D. grant - funded project involves the development of ground-based radar similar to that used in weather detection to track space debris as small a screw | [

Church Saint-Etienne de Bütgenbach
The Saint-Etienne church of Bütgenbach was built with the beginning of the year 1930. It is the work of the architect malmedien Henry Cunibert. It is its greater realization.
Bütgenbach was already very important at the religious level as of the 12th century, considering it is there that was held the parish church gathering the villages of Bütgenbach, Nidrum, Weywertz, Sourbrodt, Robertville and Elsenborn. Thus until the medium of was held with the site of the current cemetery a Gothic church of style, built in several phases between. It was a construction with simple but vast nave joined with a massive bell-tower (12th century). The main entrance was located laterally compared to the axis of the building.
The church not answering more the increasing demands of the number of faithful at the beginning of the 20th century, it was decided in 1925 by the town council | to take measures. Two possibilities were offered to Bütgenbach and its inhabitants: to change and increase the current church or to build a new building. It is only in 1929 qu'it will be decided to build a new church. The project was entrusted to the Cunibert architect, who had already built some churches in the neighborhoods. The first stone was posed on March 7th, 1929. After two years and half of construction, the new church of style néo-novel will be devoted on | [

OAKLAND -- Fewer than one in five African-American students who enroll in U.S. medical schools graduate four years later. Kathryn Malone, a doctor who practices family medicine at Sutter East Bay Physicians Medical Group and lives in the Oakland hills, wants to change that number.
Malone is one of the startup board members of Physicians Medical Forum, a nonprofit leadership and mentoring group that aims to increase the number of African-American physicians, residents and medical students in Northern California. The group hosts an intensive, daylong mentoring conference called "Doctors on Board" to provide African-American future medical students with a glimpse into what practicing medicine is like through workshops and mock diagnosis sessions. This year's event, in which Malone will teach suturing and knot-tying, will be held Saturday at Oakland Marriott City Center.
"We really felt that African Americans were | really falling through the cracks in school," Malone said. "So we try to help all the African-American medical students in the area going to Davis, Stanford, UCSF and other medical schools."

Weatherization Training Plans--Gateway to a New Economy
The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) set the stage for many new and expanded training initiatives.
Not only did the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) provide the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) with greatly increased funding to finance energy efficiency retrofits to low-income households, but it also set the stage for many new and expanded training initiatives. The DOE Training and Technical Assistance (T&TA) Plan describes WAP as a gateway to a green economy and new residential energy efficiency initiatives and acknowledges that DOE intends to ensure that Recovery Act investments help build a better, stronger weatherization network that provides the foundation needed for a national energy efficiency retrofit market. ARRA doubled the percentage of WAP funding allocated for training and technical assistance to 20%, and state WAP managers | were able to consider training initiatives that had previously been fantasies.

Israel’s Forgotten Soldier
In 2006 Israel was plunged into a war with Hezbollah (The Party of God) in Southern Lebanon. However, how many people remember why that conflict started? We all remember how it ended. Israel was left with doubts about its military ability to defend itself for the first time in its history. It ended up not going well at all.
The conflict in Southern Lebanon was started when Hezbollah launched a rocket attack on Northern Israel as a diversion for an anti-tank missile attack against two Israeli Humvees patrolling the border. Two soldiers survived the anti-tank missile attack and were taken prisoner and then spirited back into Lebanon. The deceased remains of those two soldiers were returned to Israel as part of a prisoner exchange after the conflict ended.
However, who here remembers what else happened a month earlier with Hamas in the south? Right now if you watch the news reporting, this is the most forgotten aspect of the current conflict in Gaza.
In June 2006, using a tunnel dug from Gaza across the border into Israel, Hamas soldiers came up from behind Israeli positions and captured Gilad Schalit | . That was two years ago, and Gilad Schalit is still alive and is still held prisoner by Hamas in Gaza.

Back in the day, some character classes were known as group friendly classes, and others were solo friendly. The group friendly ones were typically tanks, healers and support classes and they usually had fairly poor dps and were slow at soloing. The others were the dps classes. Group friendly classes asserted their importance in groups because … they couldn’t really do much outside groups. Their whole game depended on being needed in groups. A solo archer could happily knock out the odd level or two, a solo healer was a joke. People used to take pity on their guild healers by helping them ‘solo’.
It’s worth noting this because the idea that tanks and healers are group oriented and dps are solo oriented is rooted very deep in the history of MMOs. This didn’t stop them all being able to work together as a group when needed, older games also had group content that required this. On the other hand, older games also had more downtime so people had time to talk, to discuss their roles, and so on. Plus groups used to go | on for hours – it was more a case of camping a location until people got bored rather than going through a directed instance.

It's my understanding it means bind-on-use. Something that isn't an equipable (wearable) item can still be bound once you use it. If you're talking about pets, I'd guess it means you can sell the item before the pet spell has been learned, but it's not a cageable pet you can re-sell after it's been in your pet journal.
For me, BoU and BoE are interchangeable. Both result in the item becoming soulbound to your character. Bind on Use makes more sense for pets imo, | since you technically can't "equip" a pet item but you can "use" it to learn how to summon it.

The place to look for a model is Singapore. That Southeast Asian city-state is smaller than New York City, but its per-capita gross domestic product and life expectancy are similar to those of the United States. Singaporeans spend much less money on health care (4 percent of their economy) than we do (18 percent).
Goldhill identifies three major differences between the Singaporean health system and ours. In Singapore, individuals contribute much more money at the point of purchase. The payment mechanism varies according to treatment and patient. Government doctors and facilities compete with private health care workers. Singaporeans are required to contribute to health savings accounts and purchase a catastrophic insurance plan. There is an insurance pool for the severely disabled and a fund to pay their bills. There are subsidies to providers based on their level of service.
But the thrust of Singapore’s system is individual responsibility for a large portion of direct payment | . And the results are positive. “Health care in Singapore is high quality, high-tech, and, by international standards, cheap,” writes Goldhill. “Genuinely cheap, not just misleadingly cheap at the point of service.”

Valkyrie was in a bad mood.
The explanation for this was simple: Sunleader, the famed general for who Valkyrie was currently serving, had disappeared. Nothing fancy-he just wasn’t in his tent, and hadn’t been for at least a week, though his guards tried to keep this fact as secret as possible.
But what made Valkyrie the maddest was the timing: Sunleader had the nerve to vanish just as important messengers were arriving. Very important messengers.
Arkantos himself, in fact, who claimed to come in peace to discuss terms of a ceasefire. And while Valkyrie was an expert fighter and leader, she had no experience with diplomacy; not that any amount of experience would have helped much in dealing with the obnoxious elf.

Surface waters are the natural water resources of the Earth. They are found on the exterior of the Earth’s crust and include:Microorganisms that live in water feed on biodegradable substances. When too much biodegradable material is added to water, the number of microorganisms increase and use up the available oxygen. This is called oxygen depletion.A lot of the Earth’s water is found underground in soil or under rock structures called aquifers. Humans often use aquifers as a means to obtain drinking water, and build wells to access it. When this water becomes polluted it is called groundwater pollution. Groundwater pollution is often caused by pesticide contamination from the soil, this can infect our drinking water and cause huge problems.

AP College Basketball Poll 2013: Complete Week 18 Standings Released
History has been made in the AP College Basketball Rankings.
For the first time in school history, the Gonzaga Bulldogs, everyone's favorite underdog not that long ago, have reached the apex of the Top 25. It took a series of events to get to this point, and being No. 1 has not been good for anyone this season, but it is still amazing to see where this team is.
Some would argue against Gonzaga being in this spot. The team does boast a strong 29-2 record, with its | regular season over. However, Gonzaga's two losses came in its two biggest games against Illinois and Butler.
Who is the best mid-major in college basketball right now?
The Bulldogs' strength of schedule ranks just 94th in college basketball this season. Despite all of that, this team has been rewarded for its efforts on the court and has taken over the No. 1 spot in the rankings.

ATHENS, Ga. – The Mississippi State men’s tennis team’s George Coupland and Artem Ilyushin fell in the first round of the NCAA Championship in doubles to 13th-ranked Aleksey Bessenov and Oleksandr Nedovyesov of Oklahoma State, in a tight three-set battle, 6-7(4), 7-5, 6-2.
It was the 29th-ranked Bulldog tandem’s first career-postseason appearance, as Coupland and Ilyushin swapped serves with the Cowboy duo in the first set, before eventually claiming a tiebreaker decision, 7-4, to give MSU the early advantage.
The second set | occurred in similar fashion of the first set. MState was merely two points away from clinching the match while holding a 5-4 lead, before the Cowboys broke back to even the score and eventually win the second set, 7-5.
Coupland and Ilyushin jumped out to an early 2-1 lead in the third set, but Oklahoma State outlasted the MSU duo and won the next five games | [

Internet connectivity, data center access and Cloud services are key to ensuring that operations as small as one person to thousands get their work done.

A young girl wears a shirt she made emblazoned with the image of the late Chavis Carter, a 21-year-old Jonesboro police say shot himself in the temple in the back of a police cruiser, despite his hands having been handcuffed behind his back.
The tale of Chavis Carter's death sounds like something that was conjured as a test of Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one, but in this case, nothing seems very simple at all.
The account we've been given brings to mind times when friends and family would bring up situations like this in levity amongst friends, excreting the pain of police brutality, intimidation, and suspicion with exaggerated jokes. There's also a chance we could hear something like this mentioned in a conspiracy-laden discussion amongst the fellas in the barbershop, a frenzied tale of how police can bust you, then shoot you in the head in the back of their own cruiser, then stage it to look like a suicide. Then, to top it off, people would | actually believe that you killed yourself.
The idea that a 21-year-old man allegedly under the influence of drugs and arrested for marijuana could discharge a firearm into his own right temple while his hands were handcuffed behind his back would be laughable if Chavis Carter weren't dead, and the Jonesboro, Arkansas police were telling that exact story.

How can we live in a way that is sustainable for our planet and fulfils our life potential? This may be the most significant question of our time and of our lives. In an age where green marketing is designed to help us live unsustainably for a little while longer, and the media message is that we can save the world by consuming “Green” or changing a light bulb, what choices can we make that are effective and improve our quality of life?
In 2008, my wife, Peggy, and I felt we were living as green a lifestyle as anyone we knew. We were living in a solar-powered house situated on a small lot in town. We walked and rode our bikes everywhere we could, and we ate organic food.
Then, in 2006 we took a trip to Findhorn on the northern coast of Scotland. Findhorn has always had an allure to us. A legendary place founded in the 60’s that grew cabbages in sand on the North Sea, has developed into an international conference center and spiritual community where people have been growing their own food and creating a vibrant, healthy, sustainable community for 50 years. Findhorn opened our eyes to see that our sustainable lifestyle was missing a key element | : eating local, seasonal food. We understood this is the single best answer to our question of living both a sustainable and a fulfilling life.
If they could do it there, could we do it here in the Wood River Valley? At first, we didn’t think we would be able to get the variety of foods necessary, and I was very uncertain I would have the willpower to change the way I eat. But the model of | [

As a once-avid Bay sailboat racer who followed San Francisco’s Golden Gate Challenge to Australia in 1986, I am excited about the America’s Cup sailing races coming to San Francisco Bay.
As a once-avid Bay sailboat racer who followed San Francisco’s Golden Gate Challenge to Australia in 1986, I am excited about the America’s Cup sailing races coming to San Francisco Bay. But it’s not just a sailboat race anymore. It is a major sports marketing event involving waterfront development and including a new cruise ship terminal.
So as an environmentalist with SeaTurtles.org in West Marin, I’ve been worried about the air and water pollution that will be generated by the superyachts, cruise ships and spectator boats that will descend on the Bay and the associated marina construction and pier renovation. Some in the sailing and maritime community seem to think that advocating for a clean and green America’s Cup automatically pits me and all environmentalists against the sailboat races. As in, you’re either with us or against us.
It’s not that simple. My history with sailing and America’s Cup goes back to the 1980 | s, when I raced on San Francisco Bay out of Corinthian Yacht Club in Tiburon. When the late Tom Blackaller organized an America’s Cup team at St. Francis YC, I volunteered to help with local events and PR. Then I got lucky enough to lose my corporate job before the America’s Cup in Perth, Western Australia. I dropped everything, got a gig covering the races for a couple of sailing rags and flew to Fremantle.

Hello everyone! I have been using GBAfront for a few years now and it worked well and was reasonablly easy to update the dat file periodically. Recently, I tried out Gamefront so that I could catalog both GBA and NDS roms. However, I had difficulty using it. I couldn't get the column widths and chosen/filtered column type(country, filename, rom size, etc) to save properly. When I would shutdown Gamefront and open up the same saved database again, the formatting would reset and I'd have to adjust everything again...PAIN IN THE ASS!
I'm sure others have used these frontends. Does anyone have difficulties such as these?
Can anyone suggest good frontends to use? I basically am not looking to use it to load games up in an emulator.
I use it to look at screenshots and boxart to help decide whether I want to load that game onto my EZF3! Thanks!

Creating a chemical free playroom or kid’s room for your child can be easy and fun when you have the right resources. We have put together some helpful tips to consider when creating a fun and safe play area for your child.
Eco-friendly flooring can be a great way to start off a green playroom. The best options for your child and the environment include: cork flooring, wood flooring and bamboo flooring. Cork flooring is available at many home stores and is produced sustainably, without damaging the tree, by trimming the bark. Wood flooring is another good option as there are many options and it is widely available. If you choose wood flooring, make sure is | it FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified. Bamboo flooring provides the same timeless look as wood, is a highly renewable resource, and is harder than its wood flooring counterpart. Another great benefit about cork, wood, or bamboo flooring is they can be easily transitioned when the room is needed for another purpose after the kids are gone. You could even extend the look into other areas of the home for a remodel project | [

B's See Character & Athleticism in Malcolm
BOSTON, MA — Asked about the signing of the B's first round pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli talked about an impressive body of work achieved by 18-year-old Malcolm Subban.
"What he’s done in his junior career, and what he’s done even in his international career—which I was just watching him in Halifax a few weeks ago in the Canada-Russia Challenge—he’s accomplishing all these things," he said. "We thought highly enough of him to draft him in the first round."
But for Chiarelli and the B's, the upside of Subban isn't solely icebound.
"He’s got good character; he’s got good enthusiasm," said Chiarelli. "He’s a little raw still from the professional perspective, from the game, his skill-level perspective, but he’s a tremendous athlete.
"These are all things we project on, and, we expect him to refine it."
And for Subban, who came into the Bruins organization admitting he had plenty to learn about professional hockey, refining his approach and his play doesn't seem to be an | issue.
"That happens maybe a little more quickly with him because he’s got a brother [Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban] in the NHL," explained Chiarelli. " | [

New Details – The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword is looking to be the most exciting Zelda title to date. Nintendo has shared some new details on the game’s development, along with new footage showcasing many fresh ideas.
Nintendo is pulling out all the stops in honor of the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda™. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword launches Nov. 20 and represents one of the deepest and richest experiences ever produced by Nintendo. More than 100 staff members have been working for five years to produce the epic story, which includes a new approach to game play and more than 100 minutes of cinematic cut scenes. The game also will feature a boss challenge mode and, for players who need assistance, optional hint movies to help them along.
