||Scientists Predict Worldwide Flu Outbreak
2 hours, 24 minutes ago Add Health - AP to My Yahoo!
By MALCOLM RITTER, AP Science Writer
NEW YORK - As bad as this year's flu season is, it hasn't brought the worldwide outbreak known as a pandemic. But experts warn that a pandemic is coming, it's just a question of when. "It's going to happen," said Dr. Greg Poland of the Mayo Clinic. "For the American public in particular, I think it will be horrific."

Many Americans haven't experienced the overwhelming crush of patients at hospitals and doctors' offices and the widespread fear a flu pandemic could bring. And by historical pattern, Poland said it's about time for the next one.
There have been three in the past 100 years, igniting in 1918, 1957 and 1968. There's no way to predict when the next one will appear, but the pattern does give experts pause.
It's all up to a virus that is variable and fickle, constantly changing its genetic makeup, and the time when it hits upon a combination that lets it take off worldwide is a "roll of the genetic dice," said Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University.
So the lack of a pandemic in the past 35 years basically means "the genetic dice haven't been rolled that way," Schaffner said. "While we're grateful for that, it makes us nervous."
There's plenty to be nervous about. It's estimated that in the industrialized nations alone, the next pandemic is likely to send 1 million to 2.3 million people to the hospital and kill 280,000 to 650,000, according to the World Health Organization (news - web sites). Its impact will probably be greatest in developing countries.
As a practical matter, flu shots probably could not be counted on to prevent a pandemic. For one thing, pandemic virus strains emerge unexpectedly, and there would probably not be enough time to recognize the threat and then provide vaccines that target them, Schaffner said. What's more, many countries outside the United States wouldn't have the means to give enough flu shots to stop the spread, Poland said.
Dr. Robert Couch of the Baylor College of Medicine noted that health authorities are making major efforts to prepare for controlling a pandemic, including putting an emphasis on developing and manufacturing vaccines faster and in greater quantities.
The pandemic of 1918-19, known as the Spanish flu, sickened an estimated 20 percent to 40 percent of the worldwide population, with a death toll believed to exceed 20 million. In the United States alone, some 500,000 people died. An ordinary flu epidemic kills an average of 36,000 Americans.
The next pandemic, the Asian flu of 1957-58, killed about 70,000 in the United States, while the 1968-69 Hong Kong flu led to about 34,000 deaths in the United States.
New strains of the flu virus, and so potential pandemics, get their start in rural Asia, where the various strains that infect chickens and other birds, pigs and humans can mingle. That gives them a chance to swap genetic information as well as mutate on their own.
The potential spark for a pandemic occurs when that environment produces a new virus that infects people and bears surface proteins that people's bodies have never seen before. That means people have no natural defense against it.
In contrast, ordinary outbreaks like this year's come from a virus that has changed only slightly from previous ones, so that the population it enters still has some natural immunity from encounters with the previous germs.
But the genetic shift alone is not enough to launch a pandemic. In addition, the new virus must acquire the ability to pass easily from person to person, either by random genetic change or by picking up genetic material from a previous human flu virus.
The world has had some close calls in the past few years, says Richard Webby of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. In 1997, a bird flu in Hong Kong jumped to people, killing six. But the virus never developed the ability to pass easily from person to person, Webby said. Hong Kong authorities slaughtered 1.4 million chickens to end the threat.
Just this year, authorities became alarmed when a father and son in Hong Kong were hospitalized because of a bird flu virus, and when flu virus infected some workers in the Netherlands who had slaughtered infected chickens. The Netherlands outbreak was contained by anti-flu drugs and fast vaccination, and slaughter of the poultry, Webby said.
Scientists have been noticing a lot of flu virus in chickens and pigs globally, and a lot of variety in the strains, which is worrisome, Webby said. It's impractical to develop vaccines against all the animal strains in case they jump to humans, and there's no reliable way to identify the most hazardous ones, he said.
When the next pandemic shows up, experts say, it will find a population with many more vulnerable people like the elderly, infirm and those with weakened natural defenses than were living 35 years ago. It will also find a trimmed-down hospital system with fewer beds to handle a surge of patients. And while today's anti-flu drugs will probably attack the new strain, that's not yet clear. Supplies of the drugs and vaccines would be strained.
But still, with the improvements in health care since the last pandemic, might the next one be less serious?
"I want to believe that," Poland said, "but we won't know until it happens."

Cities of Alexander the Great
The cities founded by Alexander the Great are an essential part of his overall achievements. The problems concerning them, however, are many - and some incapable of solution. This book is the first to unravel thoroughly the tradition, explaining how it originated in a tendentious political pamphlet of the third century BC, which in turn originated in Ptolemaic Alexandria in the context of the development of the earliest version of the Alexander Romance. The author explores the ramification of this reconstruction from a lost Greek original through to the Persian and Arab tradition, and concludes that the number of cities claiming to be Alexander's as recorded in ancient sources needs to be considerably reduced. The book also includes some more general new considerations regarding Alexander's policies and achievements.

Clinical Profile of Children with Severe Emotional Disorders
This Clinical Profile of Children with Severe Emotional Disorders is designed to: (1) describe characteristics and unique needs of children with serious emotional disturbances; (2) identify patterns and trends in service utilization and cost; and (3) identify opportunities for quality improvement and the potential impact of quality improvement efforts through predictive modeling. A clinical expert panel will be engaged to define six evidence-based protocols for psychosocial treatment and pharmacotherapy and compare these to observed service patterns. Four of the six protocols will be targeted to children ages 0-6.
The results of this study will be used as part of the PPN to inform a needs assessment and gap analysis of the Children’s Mental Health Learning Collaborative to support physician practice transformation and delivery of evidence based care for children with mental health conditions. The metrics developed by this project will be used in the development of the Data Infrastructure for the Children’s Mental Health Learning Collaborative.
This project was funded by the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) and the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. To access the final reports for this project, please click the following links:

Neonatal septicemia is the most important non-diarrheal disease of calves.
Neonatal septicemia is the most important non-diarrheal disease of calves. It is a systemic disease associated with microorganisms and/or their toxins in the blood. It is frequently accompanied by disseminated infection and is almost always predisposal by failure of passive transfer (FPT) of colostral antibodies. Because FPT is so important in the pathogenesis of neonatal septicemia, and the prevention of FPT usually results in the prevention of neonatal septicemia. I will begin with a review of colostrum and FPT.
Most of us know a lot about colostrum, passive transfer and failure passive transfer. Unfortunately some of what we "know" may have been proven to be untrue or at least remains still unproven.
To achieve good passive transfer, it is necessary to have high quality colostrum. What is high quality colostrum and how can it be identified? Not the presence of edema, the size or shape(in beef cattle) of the udder, color of colostrum nor the CMT score is associated with the lgG concentration. The viscosity of colostrum was predictive of the quality of colostrum in an interesting way. Colostrum with very high and very low viscosity contained more lgG than colostrum with moderate viscosity. Some studies suggest that cows that produce more colostrum produce poor colostrum, but other studies refute that. Mastitis in beef cattle and firmness of the udder of dairy cattle were associated with FPT and colostrum with low lgG concentration. Colostrum from dairy cattle in general has lower lgG concentration than that from beef cattle. It is recommended that dairy calves receive 3-4 L within the first 4 hours of life while 1 L is often sufficient for beef calves.
How should colostrum be administered? Although studies have shown that calves that suckle absorb slightly more IgG than calves that are intubated, most experts agree that adequate passive transfer is achieved in a greater percentage of dairy calves if they are intubated with a standard adequate quantity of colostrum instead of being allowed to suckle the cow or a bottle.
Immunoglobulin molecules are able to pass through the gut mucosa because enterocytes are capable of pinocytosis during the first day of life. The absorption of lgG decreases gradually so that by 24 hours, almost no absorption occurs. If a calf receives nothing by mouth before its first colostrum feeding, the closure of the gut to absorption is delayed, but complete closure is achieved by 36 about hours.
What is the relationship between FPT, mortality and morbidity? FPT increase the risk of mortality in beef and dairy calves about 3-5 times during the preweaning period. In a large study of dairy calves where overall mortality was 5%, 75% of calves with FPT survived. In a study of beef cattle where overall mortality was 3.2%, 91% of calves with FPT survive, and 80 % never got sick. Performance in the feedlot later in life was found to be negatively associated with FPT in one study, but not another. Therefore, while we all recognize that FPT is a serious risk factor for disease in neonatal calves, it is not a death sentence.
When it comes to passive transfer of colostral antibody, is more better? Not really. In dairy calves at least, there appears to be a threshold for serum lgG concentration above which there is not an improvement in preweaning survival. There seems to be little advantage of a total serum protein > 5m5g of lgG/dL.
Septicemia can occur when a pathogenic organism is able to overwhelm the immune system of a host. While the organism may be present in the environment and may even cause a transient bacteremia in calves with adequate passive transfer, the bacteria usually cause serious disease only in calves with FPT. Occasionally outbreaks of septicemia occur, but typically the disease is caused by an environmental opportunist. The intestine is the most common site of entry into the circulatory system of the calf. Oral and respiratory mucosal may also be sites of entry. The umbilicus, once thought to be the major site of entry, is probably of secondary importance. Once in circulation, the bacteria may in fact joints, physes, the liver, kidney, bones or the meninges.
The clinical signs of septicemia are referable to the systemic and local efforts of the bacteria and toxins. Both gram positive and gram negative bacteria can initiate an inflammatory cascade that ends in fever or hypothermia, depression, hypotensive shock and cardiac or respiratory failure. Signs referable to local infection include hypopyon, blindness, sceral injection, lameness, convulsion, or coma. Diarrhea is often associated with septicemia in dairy cattle, but most septicemic beef calves are not diarrheic.
The etiology could conceivably be any bacterium, but E. coli is the most frequent isolate. Salmonella sp are also important in dairy cattle. In the author's hospital, Actinobacillas pyogenes is the second most frequent isolate in beef calves. Diagnosis in the field is usually based on clinical signs like septic arthritis, hypopyon convulsions and a history that the calf was "fine yesterday". Physical examination and post-mortem findings in some of these calves demonstrate that the disease process is greater than 24 hours in duration. Having seen several calves develop septicemia in the hospital under close observation, I realize that the early signs are subtle and nonspecific. Many producers miss the early signs. Any calf under 2 weeks of age with unexplained fever, depression or inappetence should be considered possibly septicemic. Those with the previous signs plus omphalitis, swollen joints, hypopyon or neurologic signs should be considered highly likely to be septicemic. Several scoring systems to help identify septic calves have been developed. Some employ only clinical signs while others include laboratory data.
Evidence of FPT, abnormal neutrophil count, immature neutrophils in circulation or hyperfibringenemia are also supportive of the diagnosis. Of course culture of the organism from the blood is the definitive diagnostic test, but it is seldom performed due to cost and delay in obtaining results.
Treatment of septicemia centers an antimicrobial therapy and anti-inflammatory agents to block the inflammatory cascade. The antimicrobial should be chosen on the basis of spectrum of activity, pharmacokinetic properties, route of administration and food safety considerations. Previous use of antibiotics and the farm could influence the susceptibility of the environmental organisms. In a study on a veal calf ranch, Fecteau isolated gram negative organisms that were resistant to several antibodies. In our hospital, many of the organisms we isolate from beef cattle are susceptible to many antibodies. Cephalosporins and beta-lactams with gram negative activity are good choices. It may be necessary to administer doses that are substantially higher than those recommended for treatment of respiratory disease because of the greater MIC for coliforms. Some of the longer- acting antibiotics for respiratory disease (florfenicol, tilicosin, tulathromycin) achieve high concentration in tissues like lung, but maintain relatively low plasma concentrations. Because the bacteria are in circulation, they may not be inhibited by the low plasma concentrations of these drugs. Of course, calves destined for slaughter at an early age must be treated with antimicrobial drugs that will not produce illegal residues in tissues.
Frequently, a calf will survive the systemic effects of septicemia with or without treatment, but may need additional treatment for some of the localized infections that occur secondary to dissemination of bacteria. One example of this is septic arthritis. Early recognition of septic arthritis is key to successful treatment. The most effective method of treatment is joint lavage combined with parenteral and local and antimicrobial therapy. Briefly, the joint is lavaged with lactated Ringers solution through two or more large bore needles. If there is already fibrin in the joint, an arthrotomy is indicated. The fibrin can be physically removed from the joint with lavage and with the aid of forceps. If a needle lavage is performed, then microbial agents should be instilled in the joint after lavage. If an arthrotomy is performed, the incisions must be covered with a bandage or with stents held in place with sutures. Another associated infection is omphlalitis. If the infection extends into the abdominal cavity, the infected umbilical structure should be surgically removed. Deep palpation or ultrasonography may be used to determine which structure is involved and to what extent, prior to surgery. The urachus is the umbilical structure most often infected and most easily removed surgically.
In summary, the keys to preventing septicemia are good colostral management and a clean calving environment. FPT increases the risk of septicemia, but not all calves with FPT become septicemic. Numerous organisms may be the etiologic agent and septicemia may be associated with a variety of clinical manifestations. Early and aggressive treatment with anti-microbial agents, with or without surgical intervention, may be required for a successful outcome.

How Do Ebola Vaccines Work?
By: Rachael Rettner
Published: 11/03/2014 10:12 AM EST on LiveScience
Two experimental vaccines against Ebola are currently being tested to see whether they are safe to use in people, and health officials have said that millions of doses could be available by the end of next year. But how do the vaccines work?
Both vaccines essentially consist of a harmless virus that has been “spiked” with a protein from the Ebola virus, said Derek Gatherer, a bioinformatics researcher at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom who studies viral genetics and evolution.
If a person is given the vaccine, “the body thinks it’s being infected with this rather innocuous virus, [and] part of the virus happens to be the Ebola protein,” said Gatherer, who is not involved in work on the Ebola vaccines. This prompts an immune response, and the body develops antibodies against the Ebola protein, Gatherer said. [How Do People Survive Ebola?]
Ideally, if a vaccinated person were later exposed to the real Ebola virus, these antibodies would be ready to fight off the infection before it could take hold.
The first vaccine, which began safety testing this summer, is being developed by —> Read More Here


I know I just linked Chick Corea, but I’m still trying to get over his passing and listening to a lot of his music.
Moreover, he won a posthumous Grammy for Best Improvised Jazz Solo and Best Jazz Instrumental Album for his trio performance on Trilogy 2 (Apple Music). This is a follow-up to his Trilogy album from 2013 (Apple Music). The album features Chick on piano, Christian McBride on bass, and Brian Blade on drums. The two-disc album is full of bangers, but my favorite is Chick’s own “La Fiesta”.


There are many advantages to choosing the best gaming laptops. These include the high performance of these devices and the high quality of their components. They also include the fact that they have a lot of storage space, allowing you to store all your games and other files. The most important advantage is that they have excellent battery life, allowing you to play for hours without charging the laptop. her are the advantages of choosing best gaming laptops
A good gaming laptop will come with high-quality components such as an Intel Core i5 processor or an AMD Ryzen 5 processor chip and 8GB RAM. These chips provide excellent performance when running multiple applications simultaneously, which is why they are used in most gaming laptops nowadays. You must purchase a computer with one of these chips to enjoy smooth gameplay without lag or slowdowns.
Laptops with low prices are more affordable than those with high prices. This means you can buy a better quality product at a lower price. You might also find that some companies offer discounts on their products to attract more customers, so it is worth checking out what they offer before making a purchase decision.
The best gaming laptops have high performance because they have advanced hardware components, making them run faster than other laptops on the market today. This means they will allow you to play games at higher resolutions and frame rates without having any problems whatsoever. Many people may find it helpful if they enjoy playing games on their computer or mobile device from time to time!
Gaming laptops are very portable, which makes them ideal for people who travel frequently. They have large screens that make it easy to work on documents or watch movies while they travel. Most laptops come with multiple connections, including an HDMI port that allows you to connect your computer directly to your TV or monitor. This makes it easy to share files with other people in the room and show videos without having to sit at a desk or table. You can also use USB ports to connect other devices like flash drives and keyboards to use them with your laptop instead of carrying separate devices for each purpose.
Laptops have longer battery life than most desktop computers because they are designed differently from desktops. Laptops have smaller screens and less processing power than desktops, so they use less electricity when running programs like word processors and spreadsheets. Some laptops even have features that help conserve energy by shutting down unused parts of their systems when not in use.
Better Gaming Performance
In general, the graphics performance of a laptop is much better than that of a desktop computer or even a tablet device like an iPad or an Android tablet. The reason is simple: when you play games on your laptop, the game needs to use your computer’s GPU (graphics processing unit) rather than just relying on its CPU (central processing unit) to do all the work.
Gaming laptops are the best gaming laptops. You can use your gaming laptop as a desktop replacement and watch movies on it too! The best part is that they are affordable and come in almost any category. The main advantage of choosing a gaming laptop is that you will have more power and RAM than a standard laptop. Because of this, your PC will run faster and smoother than other computers with less power. You can also use your laptop for more than just gaming, like watching movies or listening to music, without using another device for each one.


Bullets in Railway Sleepers NOT dangerous!
05 September 2014
There is an urban myth that states that it's dangerous to cut European railway sleepers because they have bullets embeddied in them. Apparently, so they say, the RAF and Luftwaffe sprayed railway tracks with machine gun fire, for target practice, during WW2. However Richard Watson has exposed this myth with simple logic: "Even if you found a bullet it wouldn’t be dangerous as it is the cartridges which are explosive not the bullets!" He carries on: "I did find this in a railway sleeper I was working with yesterday, luckily when denailing rather than cutting". Hardly a bullet!

Between Rock Creek Parkway and the Key Bridge
Washington, DC 20007
Georgetown, Washington, DC –
Home to some of the District’s most popular restaurants, bars, and high-end shops, M Street is a central part of the Georgetown experience, especially for the fourteen thousand students at nearby Georgetown University.
Lined with cobblestone sidewalks and 18th-century colonial homes, the area is awash during the day with local prepsters shopping at mainstream stores like Lacoste, Diesel, and Tommy Hilfiger, and fashionistas maxing out their credit cards at Juicy Couture and BCBG, or heading to vintage emporium Annie Creamcheese for designer styles from the 1920s to 1990s.
Cupcake fanatics wait in hour-long lines just to get their hands on a red velvet creation from Georgetown Cupcake, while tourists make the rounds of sights including the Old Stone House, the Civil War-era Oak Hill Cemetery, or the self-guided Kennedy Walking tour, which explores the myriad residencies JFK and Jacqueline occupied during their time in DC.
Once the sun goes down, the area is flooded with congressmen, media personalities, and professionals on their way to dine at some of the priciest and most popular restaurants in the District, including Café Milano for Italian fare and Bodega for complex Spanish tapas.
As the evening progresses, however, the college student contingent shows up to cram into nearly a dozen bars, seeking out a classic American pub experience at Mr. Smith’s of Georgetown, messy barbecue and beer at Old Glory Bar-B-Que, or sports bar madness at Rhino Bar & Pumphouse.
Diverse and hopping with myriad shopping opportunities by day and a college-heavy scene by night, M Street satisfies fashion-conscious shoppers and frat boy partiers alike.
The Shops at Georgetown Park is a beautiful high-end shopping mall located in a restored 19th-century building. With close to a hundred stores and expansive indoor gardens, it’s a great place to visit, rain or shine. Spend the afternoon shopping, and then slip out the back exit, which opens onto the beautiful C&O Canal.
Tourists, college students, fashionistas, socialites, families, and well-to-do locals. All ages.
Live music and DJs at some of the bars, depending on the night.
Sights along M Street include:
DC’s oldest building, the Old Stone House (3051 M Street NW).
The National Pinball Museum (3222 M Street NW).
Access to the Rock Creek Park Trail (just east of 28th Street NW on M Street) that connects to more than one hundred miles of bike- and pedestrian-friendly pathways.
Dozens of restaurants and smaller eateries line the street, including:
Georgetown Cupcake (3301 M Street NW), which has a line out the door from open to close.
High-end grocery store Dean and Deluca (3276 M Street NW).
Bodgea (3116 M Street NW) for upscale Spanish tapas.
Café Milano (3251 Prospect Street NW) for fine Italian cuisine.
Old Glory Bar-B-Que (3139 M Street NW) for classic barbecue and people-watching.
The Guards Restaurant (2915 M Street NW) for an old-school steakhouse in business since 1966.
Prices vary by location, but trend toward the higher end.
Any warm day, though most crowded on Fridays and Saturdays and weekdays after 3:30pm.
The nearby Georgetown waterfront offers outdoor dining, many bars, and expansive views of DC.

Consisting of 1,268 haycock hills with heights ranging from 40 to 120 meters, the Chocolate Hills is a wonder of nature, located in the center of the island, near the town of Carmen. The legendary Chocolate Hills has 1268 cone-shape hills which turn green during rainy season and brown (chocolate) during summer.
Some geologists hold that Bohol was entirely submerged in prehistoric times and the hills were formed on the sea floor by volcanic eruptions and subsequently shaped and rounded by submarine currents. Others say that the hills were formed by weathering of a marine limestone formation over impermeable clay stone.
But there is as well a legend and it is far more romantic. Arogo, a young and unusually strong giant, was in love with Aloya, an ordinary mortal. After she died, Arogo wept bitterly and the proof of his deep grief is the Chocolate Hills. They are his tears turned into hills.
85% of the 1 Mio. people on Bohol are living in rural areas. Bohol is mainly producing coconut products. Bohol doesn’t have extreme dry or wet seasons. Two bridges are leading from Tagbilaran to the island of Panglao, located south of Bohol. This small island has probably the most beautiful white beaches of this province. On the south coast of Panglao Island you will find ALONA BEACH. Several resorts, restaurants and dive shops on this 1000 meter beach are specialized on diving tourism. Here you find a broad variety of accommodations (bungalows, rooms) and restaurants (filippino and western cuisine).

I went to the beach last week and I am ashamed to say that I got a bit sunburnt on my back. I didn't reapply after I had been swimming. The sun ages our skin prematurely and can also cause skin cancer. It is the first day of summer today so make sure you wear sunscreen every day - you older self will thank you.
There's a reason I didn't call this fun facts about your period - it's not much fun. Hormones released during Your period can give you Diarrhoea, cramping, bowel pain, nausea, vomiting, headaches and migraines. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications can be helpful. If you prefer a more natural approach, make sure you include probiotics and fibre in your diet - lots of wholegrain, fruit and vegetables. Also limit salt, dairy, sugar, spicy foods, and caffeine. Regular exercise can be helpful too. If you any of these symptoms are seriously impacting your life, see you doctor.
I made these healthy cacao, coconut and date balls this week and they were delicious. You can find the recipe at www.taste.com.au. They are super easy to make and contain no refined sugar (just dates).
A balanced diet that is high in fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains and low in sugar and processed fats is important for good health. The following foods are particularly useful for brain health:
According to an article in the Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research 60% of toothbrushes that are stored in a bathroom that share a toilet have faecal matter (poo) on them. Put the lid down on the loo before flushing to stop this happening. Toothbrushes can also be home to a host of bacteria and germs. You should change your toothbrush every three months. Today is the first day of Spring - if you change your brush at the beginning each season it's easy to remember when to change it. You should also change your toothbrush after you have been sick!
It's better for your oral hygiene if you change your toothbrush regularly but not so great for the environment. 30 million toothbrushes end up in landfill in Australia each year. If you use a manual toothbrush you could switch to a bamboo one instead. There are recyclable plastic electric toothbrush heads but they are not available in Australia as yet.
I suffered period pain since I was a teenager. Here are some drug free ideas to manage your period pain:
You should see a doctor if:
Just remember to be kind to yourself when you are on your period - try to eat well and get plenty of rest. Some extra self-care doesn't hurt either.

Dr Karl has some useful information about why we have to keep our distance from everyone right now.
Okay, there has been a lot of hysteria, sensationalising and media hype over the Coronavirus. If you are young and healthy you have very little to worry about. Every couple of years the world has an outbreak of a new virus. We've already survived Sars, Bird Flu, Ebola, and Zika so I'm pretty sure we'll survive this one too. Apparently, if you are under 50 and don't live in China, you have more chance of winning lotto (don't quote me on that - I got it from Facebook). If you do happen to get it, most cases are mild and you recover quite easily. The Australian Health Department lists three prevention tips:
1. Wash your hands often with soap and water
2. Use a tissue and cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze
3. Avoid close contact with others such as touching.
The first two are common sense and you should follow them all the time. As for the third one, I will still be hugging my friends and family (unless they have recently been in China or Iran) but I won't be giving out free hugs in the mall any time soon.
So, don't stress. I know the news bulletins can be pretty alarming as they make it sound as if the world is ending. People stockpiling toilet paper isn't helpful either. I'm pretty sure this will blow over soon.

Schauer Introduces Energy Plan in Michigan Senate
While Tim Walberg is staging a protest in Washington, D.C. and waving his energy plan around on television, Democratic challenger and state Senator Mark Schauer introduced a bill in the Michigan Senate to do what he can do to increase energy production and create jobs:
Highlights of Schauer’s “Drill Responsibly-Create New Energy Jobs” include:As far as I can tell, the text of Schauer's bill isn't online yet. I'll add a link as soon as I can find it. We'll have to wait another day for more in-district media coverage, but the Chicago Tribune gives us this AP article:
LANSING, Mich. - Oil and gas companies would pay Michigan higher royalty fees when leasing government-owned land under a plan by a top Democrat who wants to spend the extra revenue on renewable energy projects.I don't know enough about the proposal yet to speak intelligently on it. Chris Gautz at the Citizen Patriot seems to think investing the money in environmentally-friendly energy research isn't allowed by the state constitution, but I'm not sure if that's true or not.
Even so, this is a good contrast to the Walberg energy plan, which is a "give everything to the oil companies" plan. It'll be interesting to see the coverage this gets moving forward.
Hello. I love the blog.Post a Comment
I'm an outdoor rec./environment blogger and I follow park/open space funding pretty closely.
My problem with Schauer's proposal is the way it undercuts the voter-approved dedication of mineral extraction lease funds to the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund.
The state general fund has zero money for new parkland acquisition or much for park improvements, so the MNRTF has been just about the only way for communities to improve parks or add greenspace.
In Lenawee County, for example, the funds were used to construct a pedestrian bridge at Tate Park. In the past, funds have been used for projects like the acquisition of the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula.
Would the size of Michigan's share under Schauer's proposal reduce the number of leases signed and decrease the size of the MNRTF? Would the use of MNRTF monies for "green" energy projects open the fund for future raids? Wouldn't an additional use for these funds ignore a voter-approved constitutional amendment?
Schauer's idea is a good way to differentiate himself from Walberg and his drill-offshore/build-nuke-plants-in-the-7th positions.
And Schauer is better than Walberg on conservation issues in the same way that Mother Theresa is better than Jeffrey Dahmer in feeding the poor.
But I don't think that it would be good public policy.

Oddly enough this week we heard YouPorn, a site for mature content, had it's eSports team officially removed from the ESL. Keeping in mind that YouPorn tried everything to follow the rules laid down by the ESL. The ESL dropped the hammer in an email to the sponsored group saying new rules were in place to ensure the integrity of the sport. These rules, summed up, state that a team cannot be supported by a mature themed sponsor. This includes, no drugs, no alcohol, and no pornography. Here is where it gets weird. Bud Light recently announced Bud All Stars, a new ESL sanction team for eSports a day after YouPorn was removed. Double standards....? The Know goes over the whole thing in detail. Honestly hearing this, I feel like no one should support the ESL if at all possible. Will that happen, probably not, but it's better for those that love eSports be aware of this sort of thing.

University of Iowa Health Care to address health care access gap in Southeast Iowa City
Planning continues for primary care health facility in underserved area
University of Iowa Health Care is addressing the health care access gap in Iowa City’s southeast neighborhood by planning more primary care services in this underserved area.
Although the southeast side of Iowa City is the most densely populated part of the city, it has the fewest primary care options, according to an analysis by UI Health Care. Many residents must travel outside of their immediate community to access care.
“In order to build strong neighborhoods and a healthy community, we need to make sure everyone has access to high-quality health care,” says Bruce Teague, Iowa City Mayor At-Large. “We are pleased the University of Iowa shares this commitment to increase health care access. By placing primary care services in this currently underserved neighborhood, we can have a positive impact on the health of our community for years to come.”
The university has begun the request for proposal (RFP) process to identify the developer and exact location to establish a new facility in southeast Iowa City. Project details are forthcoming, with completion anticipated by 2025.
In addition to serving patients’ primary care needs, the planned southeast Iowa City facility will enhance the university’s ability to train future physicians to help address the shortage of physicians across the state, as well as conduct medical research.
Improving health outcomes with local access
Studies have shown that limited access to primary care can increase people’s use of emergency departments or urgent care as their main source of health care. Not only does this increase health care costs and emergency care backlogs, but it also increases a person’s likelihood of developing chronic diseases.
“Having a relationship with a primary care doctor for regular, preventative care is shown to have better long-term health outcomes,” says Kim Hunter, DNP, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Nurse Executive at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics. “By adding services in southeast Iowa City, we are increasing local access and reducing barriers for individuals seeking high-quality care.”
A vision for the future of health care in Iowa
The construction of a primary care health facility in southeast Iowa City is part of UI Health Care’s commitment to increase health care access for Iowans across the state while training the next generation of Iowa’s physicians. Nearly half of physicians trained at UI Health Care go on to practice in Iowa.
Once complete, the southeast Iowa City facility will house most of the primary care services currently located at the main campus of UI Hospitals & Clinics. Space planning across UI Health Care locations in future and existing facilities looks at reconfiguring and expanding health care services and academic space to serve patients and their families as well as faculty and staff as part of the university facility master plan.
As the state’s only comprehensive academic medical center, UI Hospitals & Clinics will continue to evaluate the best location for services to increase health care access for patients while fulfilling its patient care, teaching, and research mission.

Pathologies of the chest are often highly relevant to mass casualty and emergency trauma imaging. Crushing injuries and impacts as a result of incidents such as motor traffic collisions may result in a range of pathologies, from pneumothorax to cardiac arrest. Plain radiography is often indicated in the first-line assessment of these abnormalities.
A chest radiograph, called a chest X-ray (CXR), or chest film, is a projection radiograph of the chest used to diagnose conditions affecting the chest, its contents, and nearby structures.
Chest radiographs are the most common film taken in medicine. Like all methods of radiography, chest radiography employs ionizing radiation in the form of X-rays to generate images of the : Tuberculosis, advanced - chest X-rays - illustration.
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that causes inflammation, the formation of tubercules and other growths within tissue, and can cause tissue death. These chest x-rays show advanced pulmonary tuberculosis. There are multiple light areas (opacities) of varying size that run together.

When Rewards Can be a Bad Thing
Experiences from age 0-8 influence how kids will think for the rest of their life. No one wants to raise an adult who will always think: “What’s in it for me?” when confronted with a task or responsibility. But you might be surprised to know that some commonly used discipline and “positive reinforcement” strategies can actually contribute to this kind of mindset.
Here are a few suggestions that can help ensure we are building up intrinsic motivation and not a “What’s in it for me?” mindset in our children.
Avoid Rewards, Incentives & Bribes
One strategy to keep in mind is to avoid giving children a reward for doing something that is a basic expectation: going to school, separating without tears in the morning, putting dishes in the sink, getting a good grade, doing homework, reading, etc. These kinds of rewards often influence a child’s behavior in the short term but don’t promote intrinsic motivation.
Rather than giving rewards, we strive to give children words to tell them exactly what behavior is working and why.
- You put your toys back in their spots so they won't get broken or lost.
- You put your book back in the right bin so we can find it next time.
- You put your blanket in your nap bag so it will be there when you need it tomorrow.
- I saw you get out your homework and get started so you will have time to play later.
Emphasize how they might feel over your own approval.
- You worked really hard on the art project.
- Instead of: I am so proud of you.
- Try: I bet you feel proud.
- You remembered to put your dishes in the sink without being asked today.
- Instead of: I love that you did that.
- Try: That’s really responsible.
Please & Thank You
While important aspects of politeness, the words "please" and "thank you" suggest that an action was optional. Responsive Classroom reminds teachers to avoid thanking children when they do something that is a basic expectation: Lining up quietly, putting our supplies away, cleaning up the lunch tables. Just like the prior examples, the ideal response reinforces the behavior that is working and why.
- Instead of: Thank you for pushing in your chairs.
- We might say:
- You remembered to push in chairs so no one will trip.
- Let’s go back and try that, remembering to push in chairs so no one will trip.
Similarly, at home, you can try "noticing" and remarking about the desired behavior without the "please" or "thank you," if the behavior is an expectation, as opposed to a personal favor.
That's not to say you can never say "please" or "thank you." They still very much have a place in the lexicon, but they can be used more appropriately if the child does you a favor or a gesture of kindness. For example, "Thank you for grabbing me a tissue when I sneezed" or "thank you for holding the door".
Finally: I noticed you read through the entire article and learned a bit more on how to help build intrinsic motivation.

On Thursday, the division hosted a job fair for the program with both in-person and virtual interviews.
The plan is for people with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, who have not become licensed teachers in the commonwealth, to work in the classroom while they work toward the license.
“We’re just simply giving them that opportunity and that head start,” said Assistant Superintendent of the Department of Human Resources Sherry Wilson.
Fairfax County Public Schools’ plan is to reimburse tuition for the programs these residents needed to become licensed and provide them with mentors to assist them with the teaching process for their first year.
“We want you to be assured that our goal is to put qualified individuals in front of our classrooms who have a love for children and a desire to teach,” Wilson said.
Wilson and FCPS believe many of the people they bring in will already have teaching experience, whether they’re coming from another state or another level of teaching.
“That’s the best opportunity that they can offer anyone who has been trying to get into the school system,” said Linda Kennebrew, a residency applicant.
Kinnebrew said she taught preschool for 30 years and briefly taught PE, then kindergarten after she finished her degree, at a private school. Now, she wants to work in a public school system and is hopeful this program can help her avoid the loopholes she’s faced trying to get into the field before.
“You don’t have to say, ‘Oh my God another door just shut in my face,'” she said. “This time the doors are open. It’s up to you to go through those doors.”
Fairfax County Public Schools open its doors to students on August 22 and have 98% of positions filled.

In ACIM the "ego" is equated to that thing that we think we "are." My name is Allan. I have such and such a history. I believe certain things. That's who I am.
When we look at things from the standpoint of having a body here in this world of form, we see that the ego is the "program" that runs the wetworks that is our physical brain. The ego interprets everything we perceive and gives us signals that induce our behaviors. The Course talks a lot about perception and its role in our world-of-form lives. More on that in a later post and its contrast to knowledge and seeing without the body's eyes.
Dr. Henry Grayson wrote a superb book, Mindful Loving, which is based largely on the principles of ACIM (although I'm not sure he's aware of that). In it he outlines a cycle that seems to apply to all of us living in the ego's world of form.
We all have "core beliefs" that are created during childhood -- perhaps a belief that we are loved unconditionally. Although more often, the core belief tends to carry some negativity, such as "I am not loved," "I am not heard," "X, Y or Z is dangerous to me," and so forth. Those negative beliefs, certainly include our almost universally denied fear and guilt for having abandoned God in favor of creating our own world of form. Whatever the core beliefs may be, they generate "thought constellations."
For example, if we are truly and unconditionally loved by our parents as children, our thought constellations will generally be loving toward others. Those kind, accepting and loving thoughts will, in turn, help us interpret perceptions we have toward other people, events and situations. Those perceptions then generate emotions such as openness, acceptance and non-judgement as we interact with the world. Those emotions lead to behaviors that are "favorable" and positive. In turn, we receive response and confirmation from the world that our core beliefs are correct.
However, if our childhood experience was less than wonderful, we usually carry thoughts into our adult lives that are perhaps not so complimentary toward others. We may have lived through strife, anger, intolerance or even suffered traumatic events as children -- or even later in life as soldiers serving during wartime, or women attacked by predators or as a parent who lost a child or another loved one. All of these can implant core beliefs that hinder our interaction with the world. Our thought constellations become ones of danger, of fear, of worry and sadness. We then interpret those thoughts in such a fashion that induces negative, non-adaptive emotions leading to behaviors that give us unwanted negative response from others, thus confirming our disabling negative core beliefs.
Dr. Grayson offers a powerful way to begin undoing our negative core beliefs, or at least, our negative thought constellations. It's a five-step process. Borrowing graciously from his book, here are the steps:
- When you are disturbed in any way, ask yourself: "What was I just thinking about?" If you are willing to dig deeply, you'll usually find a thought that comes from a core belief. It might be something as simple as "He or she didn't listen to me. I am angry that my point of view isn't being recognized." Or, "He or she deprived me of something and I feel sad, hurt, unloved."
- When you have identified what you were just thinking about that gave you unease, say to yourself (or out loud, if you can): "That is one of those disturbing, distracting ego thoughts that only brings discomfort." Place yourself above the thought by emphasizing "That" and "those" so you can separate yourself from the thought itself. Realize it is just a thought coming from ego and core beliefs. As Dr. Grayson points out, do not judge the disturbing thought. To do so only gives it more power and influence. Realize that you are a decision maker and you can choose to observe the disturbing thought rather than giving it power.
- Confirm to yourself that "What I am thinking about will surely increase. Do I want this thing I am thinking about to increase, to gain more control over my thinking? If I continue thinking about it, it surely will."
- Make a statement to cancel the thought. It needs to be done with some emotional energy,although without judging the thought. You might say, "I have no use for this thought and banish it from my mind. I release it and let it go. I delete it, cancel it, abolish it from my mind and all parts of my mind that might want to make use of it." Or, choose something similar that resonates with you. Again, don't judge the ego thought as being wrong or negative. Just acknowledge it as a "disturbing" or "interruptive" thought that has no place in your mind.
- Finally, to avoid leaving an empty place in your mind where that thought was born, replace the thought with a positive affirmation or statement. You might say, "My Father made me of Love. I am Love and forgive myself and all others for everything I perceive." Dr. Grayson suggests that one can use a mantra. For me, I like to remind myself that my Father did indeed make me of Love and that Love is the only thing that is important in my thinking and my mind. Love is what I want to extend, just as God extends His Love, to all.
Then, there is one more step I take that you might find helpful. I remind myself that the separation from God never did occur. That's the Atonement. Therefore, whatever appeared to happen to me, whatever thought constellation was "activated" by my negative core beliefs -- never happened. This world of form is all illusory. It's a fantasy and a dream that the Sonship's mind is dreaming. I like to believe that no matter what Sally said to me, no matter what Bradley might have done to me, "I have created this situation as I see it." (See Workbook Lesson 32 for help, as well as other Lessons in the30's).
I think it's important -- maybe critical -- to counteract those negative thought constellations with the powerful affirmation that "it never happened." I suppose if I was attacked with a gun or a knife and wounded seriously, it might be harder to say "it never happened." However, at this stage in my journey, I haven't had to deal with serious wounds to the physical body. So I find it reasonable to deal with those "psychological" issues surrounding core beliefs that only impinge on my sense of self-importance and "specialness" by acknowledging that the seeming insult "never happened." I think (hope) that's at least a step toward more fully accepting the Atonement.
Which brings up one final thought for this posting. We are told by Arten, Pursah, Gary Renard and ACIM itself that forgiveness will take us to new levels of development. As I began to learn about the Course's description of forgiveness, it seemed that forgiveness was all about being non-judgmental. After all, if I don't judge something, there is no way I can find it "wrong." If I place no expectations on people, events and situations I cannot possibly be disappointed and therefore can find no wrong.
Now I've come to another level (?) of understanding. It now seems that forgiveness is not so much about being non-judgmental or avoiding the temptation to place expectations. It seems it is all about accepting the Atonement. If we never did separate from God, then this world of form is completely illusory. Nothing can possibly happen here. It's as if I dreamed last night that you did something horrendous to me. Today when we meet at Starbucks for coffee I verbally beat you up for what you did in my dream. You'd probably wonder if I'd lost my mind or should be taking medications for my condition. Likewise, if one can finally accept the Atonement -- knowing that we never did separate from God and we are still with Him for all Eternity, always have been and that what is real never "came" to this world of form -- then nothing that seems to happen here actually does or did even happen. That seems to be a more operative description of what forgiveness is all about.

After an internal investigation, the Pi Kappa Alpha (PIKE) fraternity's national office has cleared its local chapter of wrongdoing in alleged alcohol violations that prompted CSU to pull its recognition.
"We've come to learn there were members who participated in the activity," said Eric Wulf, PIKE's national executive director.
However, the investigation found that the fraternity itself did not condone, nor fund, the "rise and ralph" parties that prompted the punishment on eight Greek houses. Other houses – two fraternities and five sororities – faced lesser punishments of social probation and suspension from campus events.
CSU officials were unavailable for comment Thursday.


Introduction: Spur Gear Glass Cored Pendant
I've always wanted to contribute to instructables.com. everytime I made something, i just could'nt take photos of the project in it's developing stage. I'm also lazy enough not to recreate them. this project was specifically done for the instructables.com.
please do comment and share your views about the presentaton. help me improve. i'll be sharing more projects and diy's in future.
Step 1: Acquire Spur Gears.
get some spur geas. maybe frome a motorbike repair shop. i got 'em from a local mechanic for 30INR (about $0.5).
I cleaned them using WD-40. you may choose any solvent.
Step 2: Make 'em WEARABLE!
bike gears mostly have some projections and extra materials on them.
machine them on a lathe or a surface grinder. i turned them on a lathe.
WARNING!gears are super hard. use suitable tool!!
Step 3: Something to Hang on to !!!
tried to drill a hole on the gear but failed. gears are super hard!!
used some copper wires to form a hook.. the outcome was interesting!!
gave a thought to melt some glass in the centre...
the flame was so intense, the copper came off insted..!!:(
i put a steel ring and melted some glass in the void...
Step 4: Patience!!
this step was completely missing during the creation of the pendant...
do wait for the molten glass to cool...
do not open a compressor's drain valve on it...
the glass might crack...
Glass chips were melted using industrial oxy-fuel cutting torch.
Participated in the


Moldova made it two wins in five days by overwhelming Montenegro 5-2 in Podgorica in FIFA World Cup qualifying Group H.
Stevan Jovetić wiped out Alexandru Antoniuc's first-half opener shortly after the break, only for the visitors to take control with quickfire strikes from Igor Armaş and Eugeniu Sidorenco. Artur Ioniţă and Antoniuc rubber-stamped the advantage late on, although there was still time for Jovetić notch his second.
Such cold facts only tell half the story of a dramatic game that burst into life when Montenegrin keeper Vukašin Poleksić repelled Vitalie Bordian's strike into the path of Antoniuc who slotted in the rebound. The home team's spirited response bore fruit on 55 minutes, Jovetić keeping his composure from the spot after Victor Golovatenco had felled Vladimir Božović.
Ion Caras's charges wasted little time wresting back the initiative, Armaş scoring from close range before Sidorenco beat Polaksić with a fine 20-metre drive. The goals kept following for Moldova as Ionita pick-pocketed Poleksić and rolled the ball into an empty net. Not content with their lot, Antoniuc rounded off a flowing counterattack. Jovetić's late reply was scant consolation for Branko Brnović's Montenegro, who finish third.

Inductive Bible Study Tips for Spiritual Growth
Do you ever find it difficult to set aside time to spend in God’s Word? Have you ever struggled to understand the Bible and grow out of that knowledge?
It can be all too easy for us to talk about the importance of Bible study and applying the Word to our lives, but when it comes down to actually practicing those things, it can be daunting.
The Bible is not a small book. It is made of sixty-six books and letters, each with its own perspective, theme, and lessons. We simply cannot pick up a Bible and read it in one weekend, let alone understand all of the nuances of each passage without taking the time to do so thoughtfully and thoroughly.
Today, I’m going to share with you a method of Bible study that can aid you in understanding God’s Word better, as well as the significance of preparing holy ground before partaking in Bible reading or studying.
Preparing Holy Ground
What does it mean to prepare holy ground?
The word “holy” literally means “set apart.” For something to be holy, it must be set apart for the purpose of being used by God. In Exodus 3, two things occurred in preparation for Moses’ encounter with God in the burning bush. First, God had set apart the particular place and time where He would reveal Himself to Moses. Second, Moses removed his sandals before stepping onto the ground that God had set apart.
Culturally, it was essential to remove sandals and even wash one’s feet when entering a home or place of worship. Walking was the primary mode of transportation, and the roads were quite dusty, causing a person’s feet to become quite dirty. People needed to remove their footwear to ensure the cleanliness of the place of worship or one’s home.
When we approach God and His Word, we should be doing so in a place and time set apart for the particular purpose of encountering Him. We also must prepare ourselves. Just as Moses removed his sandals before walking onto holy ground, we need to rid ourselves of anything in our minds and hearts that may distract us from truly being present with the Lord.
For meaningful Bible study, we must prepare ourselves by going to God in prayer and asking Him to cleanse our hearts and minds so we can invite the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us as we seek nourishment from God’s Word.
I encourage you to intentionally prepare by creating a safe space that is relaxing and pleasing. A space that allows you to be at your best. Invite the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart and lead you as you read through God’s Word.
What is the Inductive Bible Study Method?
The Inductive Bible Study method involves three stages: observation, interpretation, and application.
Observation of the passage we are studying is where we begin. It is all about the details. Here is where we ask questions about the writing. We want to know who wrote the passage, who it was written to, and who it is about. What is the context of the passage? What was written before, and what came after it?
In this step, we will also look for themes or keywords in the scripture. Are there any comparisons being made or lists? How does it all connect? This is also where we look at how the text fits into the larger picture of the whole Bible. What does the rest of Scripture say about the topic? How does it fit into the Gospel and the story of the Bible? It is important to ask these questions to avoid taking God’s Word out of context.
Remember, the first step is observation. The objective is to answer the who, what, when, where, why, and how as you read through the scripture.
Interpretation is the next step in the process. In this step, as we spend time in observation, we begin to interpret God’s Word. We start to reflect on the meaning of the passage. A few questions to consider – What did the passage mean for the original audience? Is there significance to what was said in the context of the audience’s cultural background? What does it mean for us today?
I find the most growth in the interpretation step as I spend time in reflection, taking in the scripture, and listening for God to speak. Preparing holy ground is significant to our understanding of the scriptures since our interpretation flows from our observation and reflection of God’s Word.
Most important is that your understanding aligns with God’s Word, His Truth.
Application is the last step in the Inductive Bible Study Method. This is where we apply what the Bible says and what it means into action in our own lives. We live out the biblical truths we have learned.
As we observe and interpret, we will spend time seeking God and what we believe God is calling us to do. The application of the scripture may be the formation of an action step. You can use various resources for further clarification as to what you believe the Holy Spirit is saying to you. A helpful resource I use with my clients is the Listening Prayer by Beth Graf.
The Listening Prayer is a powerful coaching tool to help us discern if what we are hearing is from God. As we deepen our spiritual growth, it is essential to know that we hear God’s voice and not our own thoughts or someone else’s voice.
Receiving confirmation through the observation, interpretation, and application of God’s Word is life-changing. God may be calling us to step out in faith and serve in an unfamiliar area, or He may speak to us about a matter that is hindering our growth. The ultimate goal for inductive Bible study is to be transformed by God’s Word – the way, the truth, and the life.
Inductive Bible Study Method Recap
Create holy ground. Set aside a place and time to study and keep it sacred. Prepare your heart and mind, eliminating any thoughts or distractions that distract you from focusing your undivided attention on God.
Pray. Invite the holy spirit to fill you as you seek God’s Word and His Truth. Meditate on His Word.
Observe. Read the scripture and observe the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How.
Interpretation. Reflect on the meaning of the passage. Seek to understand what the scripture meant for the original audience and what it means for us today.
Application. Apply what the Bible says and take action steps to live out the biblical truths we have learned.
Inductive Christian Coaching
It is my prayer you find these tips useful for your Bible study and spiritual growth. If you seek deeper study, I offer an Inductive Christian Coaching program that applies the approach of Inductive Bible Study methodology to Christian Coaching.
As a Christian Life Coach, I combine life coaching with the power and transformation of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Christian Coaching is moving people from where they are to where God wants them to be. Using the Inductive Coaching technique, we take a deeper dive into God’s Word to help you discover how God is calling you to apply His Word to your life.
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV

Turley Wine Cellars has wineries in St. Helena, in the Napa Valley, and in Templeton, in the Paso Robles area of California’s Central Coast. Founded in 1993 by Larry Turley, Turley Wine Cellars is known for robust and well-rated Zinfandels. Turley is the brother of Helen Turley, one of California’s most legendary winemakers, and she consulted for him until the mid-1990s. Now the winemaker is Tegan Passalacqua, who worked under legendary Ehren Jordan before Jordan left for other pursuits. Turley has a talent for finding young winemakers on the verge of fame. He also gave Thomas Rivers Brown his first job. Larry Turley co-founded Frog’s Leap Winery in 1981 but sold his interest in Frog’s Leap to start his own estate. Robert M. Parker Jr. has called Larry Turley “the world’s premier Zinfandel specialist…he built Turley Wine Cellars into a showcase for the fruit, power and intensity of Zinfandel.” There are generally waits of several years to get on the mailing list to acquire Turley Zinfandels.
Napa Valley AVA is the most famous winemaking region in the United States and one of the most prestigious in the world. With nearly 43,000 acres of vineyards and more than 300 wineries, it is the heart of fine wine production in the United States. Winemaking started in Napa in 1838 when George C. Yount planted grapes and began producing wine commercially. Other winemaking pioneers followed in the late 19th century, including the founders of Charles Krug, Schramsberg, Inglenook and Beaulieu Vineyards. An infestation of phylloxera, an insect that attacks vine roots, and the onset of Prohibition nearly wiped out the nascent Napa wine industry in the early 20th century. But by the late 1950s and early 1960s Robert Mondavi and other visionaries were producing quality wines easily distinguishable from the mass-produced jug wines made in California’s Central Valley. Napa Valley’s AVA was established in 1983, and today there are 16 sub-appellations within the Napa Valley AVA. Many grapes grow well in Napa’s Mediterranean climate, but the region is best known for Cabernet Sauvignon. Chardonnay is also very successfully cultivated, and about 30% of the AVA’s acreage is planted to white grapes, with the majority of those grapes being Chardonnay,
Despite its popularity, this grape is quite rare. Less than 10,000 acres are planted worldwide, with the bulk in California. In France, the grape is referred to as Durif. Not to be confused with Syrah, Petite Sirah is a cross of Syrah and Peloursin. The result is darker and fuller.
