This month's Five Wines Under $15 is devoted to the wines of Columbia Crest's Grand Estates series.
It is not hyperbole to say that there is no winery in Washington – perhaps even in the entire country - that puts out higher quality wines at lower prices than Columbia Crest. Even more remarkable is the winery's incredible consistency year after year.
Columbia Crest's Grand Estates wines sit in the middle of the winery's lineup between the Two Vines and H3 series wines with the reserve wines at the top. Impressively for wines at this price, there is good separation between the varieties. The Merlot tastes like Merlot; the Cabernet tastes like Cabernet.
Five Wines Under $15 – Columbia Crest's Grand Estates Wines
Wine Advocate reviews for Washington delayed until December
Folks waiting for The Wine Advocate reviews for Washington will have to wait a while longer. Originally slated for the October 31st issue, the reviews will now be part of the December set of reviews. The delay was announced via e-mail to wineries as well as via Mark Squires' Bulletin Board. Writing about the change on the bulletin board Robert Parker stated, "I decided to push Washington state back to December, largely because the upcoming issue is exceptionally large even by our fanatical standards, and such articles don't lend themselves to being divided in two parts."

Pic of the Vine - October 2012
This is the first in a monthly series of images from photographer Richard Duval called 'Pic of the Vine.' This month's image comes from the estate vineyard of a'Maurice Cellars in the Walla Walla Valley. The vineyard is fronted by a full bloom of lavender.
Duval notes that he first saw the scene at the end of the day drive-by on one of his frequent shooting trips to Walla Walla. The next morning he was in place for dawn's light to illuminate the sky and the lavender field in front of the carefully tended vines. The result was this landscape that he jokingly titled "On the Corner of Lavender and Vine." Download a screen saver sized version of this image at www.vinelines.com. Read reviews of the a'Maurice Cellars wines here.
Reminder - This month's Virtual Tasting is coming up Wednesday at 7pm Pacific. Read about how to participate here.
I am pleased to announce that photographer and writer Richard Duval will be a regular contributor to this site.
Richard Duval's world revolves around the three critical Ps – photography, pizza, and piano. Culled from his frequent travels, his wine, scenic and landscape images are found on note cards, galleries, and calendars, and as stock photography. His work is often featured in Washington Tasting Room magazine, the Washington Wine Guide, Nature Photographer, and Northwest Travel Magazine among others and his assignments include Holland America Line, Microsoft and Vermont Life.
Woven into this texture is his endless pursuit of perfecting the art of Neapolitan pizza making by evoking the traditions and practices of old world Naples. In between photo sessions and pizza tossing, Duval's main love is the piano. His CD "Notes to Myself" features his intimate and original musical stories. He lives near Mill Creek with his wife Leslee and Brunello, the wine dog.

Washington's Thirteenth Viticultural Area Approved
Washington will receive its thirteenth federally approved growing region - the Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley - this week. The appellation is expected to be entered in the Federal Register on Thursday.
Cameron Fries of White Heron Winery petitioned for the appellation along with Joan Davenport, Professor-Soil Sciences at Washington State University. Fries says that he's been working to gain appellation status for the region for almost seven years.
Fries believes that the Ancient Lakes region deserves to be recognized both for its grape growing and its majestic scenery. "It's an extraordinarily beautiful area," he says. "I call it a mini Grand Canyon." Anyone who has seen a concert at the Gorge Amphitheatre, which lies within the growing region, will surely agree.
Harvest Report October 15th 2012
The past week in eastern Washington was notable for seeing limited amounts of rain – the first in several months. For most, this was a relief, cutting down on dust and clearing the air. Few growers or winemakers expected the rain to have any effect on harvest. Other than that, things are beginning to wind down for many.
Winemaker Ross Mickel of Ross Andrew Winery and Force Majeure says, "Not much is happening in terms of ripening or degradation of the fruit. Things are in a holding pattern. There is possibly some dehydration, so we'll probably see an increase in Brix levels, but in terms of flavors in the vineyards we are working with, what we're going to get is already there."

The Week of the Wind Machine - Harvest Report October 8th
has been the week of the wind machine in Washington with a series of
cold nights from last Tuesday through Sunday. Temperatures in some of
the cooler areas of the Walla Walla and Yakima valleys dipped into the
low 30s and even high 20s in some locations. While some did report frost
issues, many were able to keep the frost at bay by using wind machines.
"We started running wind machines on Tuesday night and have been every night since," one wine grower in the Walla Walla Valley said yesterday. "The forecast for tonight is around 35 degrees so we should be out of it." Meanwhile on Red Mountain temperatures dipped down to the high twenties on Friday but wind machines kept temperatures a few degrees higher allowing the growing season to continue.

Fresh Sheet October 2nd 2012
Today's Fresh Sheet – new and recent releases – includes wines from Maison Bleue, Native Sun, Waterbrook, Hard Row to Hoe, and Avennia.
Maison Bleue
For anyone interested in the subject of Washington wine – or wine in general for that matter - the 2010 red releases from Prosser's Maison Bleue are nothing short of required reading.
Earlier this year the winery released its 2010 reds from Upland Vineyard. Now Maison Bleue releases its two Boushey Vineyard reds, the 2010 Le Midi Grenache and 2010 Liberte Syrah. These wines are as compelling as any being made in Washington right now.
Harvest Report October 1st 2012
change in weather patterns this past week cleared out much of the smoke
that had been hanging over eastern Washington. Still, smoke does
persist in some areas. Several winemakers noted that ripening slowed
down this past week, with some wondering whether the haze from the smoke
contributed in some way.
"Last week slowed significantly from the previous two weeks, whether due to decreased sunlight because of smoke, lower temps, shorter days, I'm not sure," Ben Smith at Cadence Winery says. Smith notes that, with the exception of Merlot, berry sizes have been smaller than average this year. "I recorded 0.78 grams per berry for Tapteil Cabernet Sauvignon, a record," he says. Smith has been sourcing fruit from this vineyard for more than a decade.

1.) Take Your Time - It's a complete and utter understatement to say that Fallout: New Vegas is a time-suck. In reality, it's much, much more than that. New Vegas isn't something you can just pick up and optionally put a lot of time into. Really, you're going to be required to dump time into New Vegas if you have any hope of getting through the game's main narrative, which really only makes up for perhaps five or ten percent of the entire game. With that said, journeying through New Vegas will require patience and a willingness to lose time playing the game. We highly recommend you take your time with the experience, and see and do everything in the game that you possibly can. Some of the game's greatest gems, in fact, are ancillary quests and location explorations that you don't even have to undertake to get through the game. New Vegas isn't for someone who is looking for a ten or twenty hour experience, or even a fifty hour experience. Set aside a hundred hours or more if you really, really want to experience Fallout: New Vegas the way it was meant to be experienced. Otherwise, you're missing out.
2.) Experiment - Your experience in Fallout: New Vegas won't be a static one, even if for some reason you want it to be. The game is meant to be played and experienced differently by different gamers. Because of this, the one thing you're going to want to do as you go through the game is experiment, and this rings even more true if you intend on playing through the entire game more than once. If you're going to do the latter, you should bring the experimentation level up to a whole different echelon. Try talking to people in different ways, try befriending different factions and making enemies of other ones, and try to build out your character in different ways. For instance, a strong character that uses melee weapons and his fists to fight is a far different character than one who stresses energy weapons and stealth abilities. Fallout: New Vegas is all about drawing out these various permutations, so be sure to succumb to this aspect of the game's design, as it will no doubt maximize your enjoyment.
3.) Scour For Experience - Fallout: New Vegas is a lot of things. It's a sandbox, open-world game that stresses combat and character interaction. But at its very core, it's also a statistically-based game of numbers, and you know what that means... it's an RPG! Virtually all RPGs have some sort of leveling-up system, and Fallout: New Vegas is no different. Experience points will allow your character to level up from level 1 to level 30, and in between each level, you'll get to use skill points to make your character stronger (and occasionally get to swipe a new perk, too). These skill points are key, because dumping them into one of the game's skills will allow your character to do various activities more effectively. Therefore, you should be sure to scour for experience everywhere you can. All quests give you experience for completing them, as does killing enemies and creatures. But keep in mind that successfully bartering or completing a speech check, discovering new locations, hacking a computer or breaking through a locked door can earn you experience too!
4.) Lockpick and Science - We stressed this earlier in the Basics section, but stressing it again for good measure can't hurt or hinder... it can only help. Lockpick and Science are absolutely, positively amongst the most important non-combat skills in the entire game, and building them up steadily as you level up is integral if you want to see and do everything the game has to offer you. With a high Lockpick skill, locked doors will become easier and easier for you to unlock, while a high Science skill allows you to hack through the defenses of even the most ardently-protected computers. Be sure to dump points into Lockpick and Science from the get-go, and you won't be sorry. If you neglect these skills, however, expect to find increasingly numerous amounts of locked doors and sealed computers that you won't be able to do anything with. And that would be your loss if that happens (and make your life a whole lot more difficult, too)!
5.) Speech and Barter - Just like with tip #4, which stressed the importance of the Lockpick and Science skills, here, we're going to stress another two skills we already discussed earlier in the Basics section, Speech and Barter. Speech and Barter are essentially just as important as Lockpick and Science, albeit for different reasons. Thus, you'll want to dump whatever skill points you can into these two skills, too. The Barter skill will allow you to purchase items for cheaper than you otherwise would, and sell items for more money. But the Barter skill will also allow you to force negotiations with many people who give you side quests and other tasks to earn more money and better loot and prizes for your hard work. Speech, on the other hand, has a much more straight-forward use, and it's to convince various people to see things the way you do. The higher your Speech skill, the easier it will be to tell people to do things and act in a way that you want them to, which will be hugely beneficial to you. Thus, in addition to Lockpick and Science, tent to the Speech and Barter skills, too. You won't be sorry that you did... you'll really only be sorry if you didn't. You've been warned!
6.) Don't Over-Extend - Okay, it's true. Fallout: New Vegas is all about exploration. You can quite literally do whatever you want in the game (though there are consequences to be had with just about every choice you make, which you will ultimately find out for yourself). But you don't want to get too crazy with the exploration, especially very early in the game. While you're still weak, try to stay close to safe areas, chipping away at weaker enemies and completing simple tasks and quests. Later, when your character gets stronger, and when you have more powerful equipment at your disposal, you can begin to work your way further and further out of your comfort zone. Either way, you should save as often as you can, because you never know when you're over-extending until it's too late... well usually, anyway.
7.) Side Quest With Regularity - A quick addendum to this tip would be to side quest with regularity and as early as you can. The reason you want to side quest regularly and early is simple. Not only is side questing a great way to earn lots and lots of experience points, but it's also a good way to start making friends with many of the game's towns and settlements, and most importantly with the Mojave Wasteland's various warring factions. As you work your way further and further through the game's main plotlines, you'll inevitably start making enemies, which will start pitting you against certain factions in the name of other factions. This will end up cutting you off from a great many side quest, so this is really the most important reason to side quest regularly and early. Because if you wait too long to undertake many side quests, being able to complete them or not may depend entirely on whether you're in good standing with a certain faction or not. So why not try to please everyone early, and then go from there.
8.) Make Choices Carefully - We've already established the many things Fallout: New Vegas is. But another thing it happens to be is a game where choices prove to be of the utmost importance. How you conduct yourself everywhere in the game has repercussions, and it's important that you carry yourself in a way that's compatible with how you're trying to work your way through the game. Good or bad, you should try to remain consistent, or you'll muddle your experience. But either way, you'll be making choices a lot where it's not even clear that you are, especially during conversations with the game's hundreds upon hundreds of NPCs. Because of this, you'll want to carefully navigate the game's conversation trees and their surrounding events. The best way to be sure you're making choices carefully, however, is to simply save often. If you don't like the way something turned out, whether it be an event, fight or conversation, you can simply reload a recent save and try things in a different way.
9.) Tend To Your Gear - This is easy to overstate, but then again, it's easy to understate, too. You'll really want to be cognizant not only of the condition of your armor and weapons, but also just what you're carrying with you as well, and what the condition of those items are. Remember -- you're bound to a strength-weight ratio that will only let you carry so much (dependent on your character's strength in S.P.E.C.I.A.L.), so you can't carry everything you want, snag everything you find in the environment, or more. You'll be encumbered before you know what hit you. What's most important to remember here, though, isn't only to carry only what you need and sell or drop everything else, but to make sure your gear is in good repair, too. A weapon that's on the verge of breaking won't be able to give you its full damage potential, and armor that's wearing down will provide less and less protection. There are few things more important than dealing damage and protecting yourself from damage, so tending to your gear (even apart from the obvious inventory management aspect of this entire ordeal) is integral to your success.
10.) Explore Locations - And finally, we've come to the final tip in our Ten Tips for Fallout: New Vegas. This one may seem obvious, but let us explain. The Mojave Wasteland, where all of the events in Fallout: New Vegas take place, is absolutely rife with locations. There are scores and scores of them to uncover, from big buildings, compounds and camps to the most minor of locations, like destroyed caravans, cave entrances and abandoned shacks (and everything in between). Scouring the map for new locations won't only earn you minor amounts of experience points, but it will allow you to find new people and new things of interest to explore. And better yet, the more locations you add to your map, the more locations you'll be able to quick-travel to. And as you'll find out (or already know if you're a veteran of Fallout 3), quick-traveling is absolutely vital if you want to get around the Wasteland in as little time as possible. So explore, explore, explore!

Hey guys,
I will travel pretty soon with my two kites and 1 board, and I think I need a bag where I can pack everything in. My board is 132cm, but I will maybe buy another one bigger some day.
I am looking for a bag that can fit:
-2-3 kites (3 is better)
-1-2 twintips
- 2 bars
- 1 pump
- a harness
- and maybe some clothes, and that is not oversized for airplanes.
I want a bag that costs under 150 dollars, and even if possible, under 125 dollars, but that is still well built and durable.
Does anyone know any not-so-expensive bags that can last a long time and that fits my requirements?

Summit County's top stories: January and February 2012
Summit Cove residents and county officials alike are pushing for road improvement projects on and around Highway 6 this year, in an effort to enhance access, traffic flows and safety in the area.
As the county puts requests to the Colorado Department of Transportation for street light changes and pedestrian safety improvements, citizens in Summit Cove are asking residents of a local improvement district to support a new bike lane.
County officials asked CDOT to consider a number of projects on Hwy. 6, including reprogramming the traffic light at Swan Mountain Road to allow a longer window for left-hand turns.
This year, Ullr may be 49 and feelin' fine, but the rest of us ain't doin' so great; seems the Norse god of snow is taking a bit of a break before his big 5-0, not making any snow.
But Breck is doing its best to shake up the deity and remind him where his allegiance resides: The town and chamber are reinstating traditional events like the bonfire and bringing the coronation and the Ullympics to Main Street locations in an effort to create a more tight-knit community feeling.
No surprise: It's dry out there.
The current snow drought in central Colorado has the Colorado River Basin – which includes Summit County – at 60 percent of average snowpack and 41 percent of last year's snow totals for the same time last year.
Statewide, Colorado's snowpack was 71 percent of average and 52 percent of last year's readings as of Jan. 1.
While talks with Breckenridge Ski Resort on a joint transit system are progressing well, the Breckenridge Town Council decided not to take action to put a lift-ticket tax question on the April ballot. "They've made very strong verbal commitments," Councilwoman Jen McAtamney said at Tuesday's regular meeting. "Because they did step up and have that conversation, I'm not comfortable passing this at this time."
The revenue from the proposed tax would have been used to improve transit in Breckenridge and to consolidate the ski area and town bus systems.
Local and Front Range authorities busted two illegal marijuana grow operations this week as a wave of drug raids swept Colorado.
Scott Matthew Shumsky, 38, was arrested late Monday night after Summit County Sheriff's Office deputies found 16 ounces of marijuana and 120 plants at his residence.
The processed marijuana had an estimated street value of $5,800, while the plants were valued at approximately $600,000.
Team Canada-Quebec secured first prize in the 22nd annual International Snow Sculpture Championships in Breckenridge with "Great Expectations," a complex piece depicting the "ice houses" once used to preserve meat, poultry and fish on the Saint Anne River in central Quebec. Along with 15 other teams and artists from 11 other countries, Team Canada-Quebec worked across five days, for a total of 65 hours, to create an enormous work of art from a 20-ton block of snow.
When professional snowboarder Meesh Hytner pulled the cord on her avalanche airbag last week, she was already in the midst of a substantial slide on the northeast face of the Deer Creek headwall near Montezuma.
The slide was one of 17 natural and human-triggered avalanches recorded throughout last week and into the early part of this week in the Vail and Summit Zone, according to Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC).
An empty lot the town of Frisco has been looking to fill for years may see a new Whole Foods grocery store before long. The natural grocer's look and reputation could step up Frisco's Interstate 70 interchange, drawing more traffic off the highway and into the Summit Boulevard commercial district.
That's what town officials hope, anyway.
They've been approached by developer David O'Neil, who says the Austin, Texas-based company may consider the town's vacant, 9.4-acre interstate parcel west of Summit Stage's Frisco Transit Center and near Meadow Creek Park for a new home.
Summit High School senior Tristan White died Friday afternoon after collapsing during wrestling practice Wednesday and spending the last few days in a Denver hospital. He was 17.
A statement from Summit High School said doctors had been working around the clock in an effort to stabilize his heart and overall condition. White was placed on life support Thursday, and though his condition was relatively stable throughout the night, he died shortly after noon Friday.
After the town of Dillon's appeal over the ruling in the Yacht Club Condominiums case was shot down in December, the town has extended an offer to the condo board and at the same time, asked that the Colorado Supreme Court review the case.
Dillon has offered to spend the money to move Gold Run Circle and the recreation path north of the town's right-of-way, which would allow Yacht Club residents to tandem-park on Gold Run Circle next to the condos. There would be no parking permitted on the traveled roadway, and the Yacht Club would have to agree not to park on the recpath.
Wildlife and watershed are at the top of the list of items to be considered in White River National Forest officials' review of Keystone Resort's newly proposed projects.
The agency is soliciting feedback from the public about the proposed action, its purpose and need and potential alternatives before officials initiate the environmental assessment. A decision should be issued at the same time the environmental analysis is completed – with a 45-day administrative appeal period in place before the decision is finalized.
In the next few years, Keystone wants to replace the Summit House that sits atop Dercum Mountain as well as expand the Adventure Point tubing area to include more – and longer – lanes as well as a permanent lodging facility (to replace what they say is an insufficient yurt).
The tussle between Silverthorne officials and several homeowners fighting a town trail in their backyard continues as a citizen petition to amend the town charter was again rejected.
"Our review for sufficiency is not bureaucratic, it's the town's duty and responsibility to protect the integrity of a legally mandated state petition process, and we simply have not yet received a petition that meets those simple requirements," Silverthorne spokesman Ryan Hyland said.
The rift is over eminent domain, the practice of taking private property for public use with compensatory payment to the owner. Petitioners want to put restrictions on it while the town is looking to apply it to finish a section of its Blue River Trail.
The charter currently contains one sentence pertaining to eminent domain permissions: "The town shall have the right of eminent domain for all municipal purposes whatever within or without the limits of the town."
Snow and wind combined Tuesday to boost snowpack on the slopes but also elevated avalanche danger in the backcountry.
Colorado Avalanche Information Center forecaster Brian Lazar anticipated avalanche danger rising to considerable on below-tree line, wind-loaded slopes by Tuesday afternoon.
Fugitive Breckenridge attorney Royal "Scoop" Daniel pleaded guilty to two charges of felony theft while insisting his crimes were never intentional.
Daniel was originally charged with eight counts of theft and five counts of commercial bribery in mid December. The two counts he pleaded guilty to Tuesday each carry a possible punishment of four to 12 years in jail, probation or up to $750,000 in fines. All other charges were dismissed.
Clad in a black-and-white-striped jail uniform and bound by ankle shackles, Daniel told judge Karen Romeo he did not agree to a first reading of the guilty plea, which said the acts were committed with intent.
"I did not obtain (the funds) without authorization," he told Romeo. "I never had the intent to deprive them permanently."
Instead, Daniel said he was prepared to plead guilty to committing acts that as a consequence, deprived the victims of their funds. His public defender modified the plea deal paperwork to take out the word "intent."

Stuffed Bitter Melon (Kho Qua)
Bitter melon (khổ qua in Vietnamese) is a part of many cultures and cuisines. In India, deep fried bitter melon rings (karela) are a common dish. Vietnamese people use the smoother variety of bitter melon, and the vegetable is often prepared steamed or in a broth. In this particular preparation, I filled the bitter melon with tofu, bean thread noodles and wood ear mushrooms, but you could definitely use chicken or pork. I typically pair mine with rice, but you can also serve a simple vegetable broth if you prefer.
From Wikipedia:
This dish is usually cooked for the Tết holiday as its name: "bitter" reminds people not to forget or disrespect the poor living condition experienced in the past.
Eating shouldn't be a chore, so if you're a little put off by the description, I understand. The taste is very unusual but I think this dish really does taste great though, so I urge you to give it a try.
Yields: 8 servings4 fresh bitter melons
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 (12-ounces) packages firm tofu
2 teaspoon canola oil
2 shallots, finely diced
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped
1 tablespoon green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste (see tips), finely minced
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup mung beans
4 wood ear mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon mushroom seasoning salt (or regular salt)
2 ounces dried bean thread noodles
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Prepping the bitter melons: Cut the bittermelons in half. Using a melon ball scoop, remove and discard the spongy center and the seeds. Soak the bitter melons in lemon water.
Prepping the tofu: Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch slices. Blanch the tofu for about 3-4 minutes in salted hot water. Drain the liquid. Let the tofu cool a little. Then mash the boiled tofu with your hands using disposable gloves. The tofu should resemble large-sized cottage cheese curds. Set the tofu aside.
Prepping the bean thread noodles: Place the dried bean thread noodles in a bowl. Don't forget to cut the little cotton threads and discard them! Soak them in cold water for 20 minutes and drain. Cut into 1 inch lengths. Set aside.
Making mung bean paste: Place the mung beans in a small saucepan, barely cover with water, then slowly cook for about 30 minutes. It will form a dry paste. Set aside.
Assembly time:
In a large bowl, combine the tofu, bean thread noodles, mung bean paste, cilantro, ginger garlic paste, shallots, onions, green onions, sugar and wood ear mushrooms. Season with mushroom seasoning salt and pepper.
Remove and discard the liquid from the bitter melons. Pat them dry and stuff them with the tofu mixture.
Place the stuffed bitter melons in a steamer, bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-high. Cover and steam for about 30-40 minutes. Check doneness with a fork; the bitter melons should be soft and tender but still firm (not fall apart). Remove from the steamer. Let them cool a little.
I served them with brown (for a healthier version) jasmine rice. You can also make a vegetable broth (see tips).
You can find bitter melons in Asian stores.
After several tests, Thanh Son tofu is hands down the best kind to use for this recipe. If you live in the Bay Area, you have to try it. They sell in almost all the Asian markets in downtown San Jose, and their main shop is on 2857 Senter Road, San Jose. It's a very little shop but everything is very good. Their tofu has the best texture; it's made fresh daily. This is the perfect place for vegetarians. I buy 2 to 3 pieces of fresh tofu every week. If you don't have this brand, I think silken tofu might be the closest kind, resembling the texture of scrambled eggs.
Fresh Wood Ear Mushrooms.
You can find wood ear mushrooms in Asian stores. I was pleased to find that my local Asian market now carries fresh wood ear mushrooms (I usually use the dried version) at the market today. They're grown locally in Half Moon Bay (CA) and they're sold in 6-ounce packages. They're flavorless but they give an interesting, chewy texture to the tofu filling.
I use ginger garlic paste a lot in my cooking. It tastes great and is very healthy for you as well. Just clean the ginger, carefully removing any dirt. Peel the ginger root with a paring knife or the edge of a spoon, then finely chop the root. Place the chopped ginger and 5 cloves of garlic in a blender and, add about 2 tablespoons (or more) of water for a smooth flow. Transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator. You can keep this paste for at least a week in the refrigerator.
Mushroom seasoning salt brings a very distinct, earthy flavor to the tofu filling. You can find it at gourmet specialty stores or in most Korean stores. I buy mine at Marina Foods -10122 Bandley Drive -Cupertino, CA 95014.
One of the most common condiments to serve with khổ qua is Sriracha sauce. It's the red chili sauce with the green cap. For those, like me, who are not into spicy food, you can serve the bitter melons instead with a dipping sauce called nước chấm.
For the meat version, fill the bitter melons with the same filling I used for stuffed tomatoes.
For serving the stuffed bitter melons in a broth, use the same broth I used for vegetarian soup with bok choy.Published By: on January 12, 2010.

I saw a last-man-on-Earth movie on TV some time in the '70s. I don't know the title. It takes place in the US. It opens with a black man trapped underground (mine? construction site?). He manages to free himself only to find that all other people are gone: cars sit empty in motionless traffic jams, etc. After a while he meets a white woman who thought she was alone in the world. Later on, another (white) man shows up in a boat having traveled from somewhere in the southern hemisphere where he is, apparently, the last remaining human.
The general plot outline is reminiscent of "The Quiet Earth" (1985), which I've not seen, which was based on a 1981 novel. I saw this movie before 1981. There are no zombies, so it can't be "The Omega Man" (Charlton Heston). A friend once said it was called "This Quiet Earth" but a search for that title only turns up "THE Quiet Earth" and it's not that film.
Ideas anyone?

Debate in Afghanistan: Can negotiations with Taliban succeed?
KABUL, Afghanistan — Now that the Obama administration has embraced the idea that U.S.-backed government in Kabul should open negotiations with moderate Taliban commanders, debate rages in Afghanistan over whether the time is right and any deal can be reached.
Arsala Rahmani, an influential Muslim cleric from violence-wracked Paktika Province, says he has a plan and believes he would make the perfect go-between.
"The Taliban don't have any trust in the Afghan government or the international community," the said in a recent interview. "The treatment for the disease is to create confidence."
Rahmani would appear to have the right resume.
Now a leading senator in the Afghan upper house, he has been on all sides of the nation's four decades of strife: He led guerrillas against the 1979-89 Soviet occupiers, was deputy prime minister in the first post-communist government and held top posts in the Taliban regime, including acting religious affairs minister.
"Negotiations with the Taliban are possible," said Rahmani, who joined other former senior Taliban in Saudi Arabia last year to discuss a way forward with senior Saudi officials whose government was once a patron of the Islamic militia.
President Barak Obama broached the possibility of talks with moderate Taliban in an interview with the New York Times published on Sunday, and Vice President Joe Biden repeated the idea Tuesday at NATO headquarters in Brussels.
"I do think it's worth engaging and determining whether or not there are those who are willing to participate in a secure and stable Afghan state," Biden told reporters.
The premise underlying negotiations is that the insurgency can be short-circuited by splitting commanders who are fighting because of grievances like the civilian deaths in U.S. military operations away from true believers loyal to Taliban founder and Osama bin Laden ally, Mullah Mohammad Omar.
Other experts have serious doubts. They say Omar and the leaders of associated militant groups believe that President Hamid Karzai's government has lost popular support and they are winning against U.S.-led military forces. So long as they are of that view, there can be no peace, these experts say.
"Afghanistan was created by God for this kind of guerrilla fighting. It has high mountains and long valleys and narrow trails," said Wahid Mughzdah, a former anti-Soviet fighter-turned-political analyst who worked in the Foreign Ministry during the former Taliban regime. "Al Qaida and the Taliban understand that America doesn't have a chance of success in this country."
Further, he said, the Taliban are no longer only concerned with imposing Islamic rule on Afghanistan, but have adopted al Qaida's aim of staging Islamist revolutions throughout Asia and the Middle East.
Moreover, he and other experts said, negotiations cannot succeed without the assent of Omar's ideological allies in Pakistan, where he is widely believed to have sanctuary. These include current and former officials of the military's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate.
Experts said they could not imagine an accommodation between Omar, who seeks to re-impose harsh Islamic rule on Afghanistan, and Afghans who have embraced democracy and spurned a return to an era of repression in which female education, the employment of women, music and television were banned.
Yet others insisted that with most Afghans grown weary of four decades of war and poverty, the groundwork should be laid for eventual talks.
Abdul Salam, a former Taliban commander who acquired the nom de guerre of Mullah Rocketi because of his proficiency with rockets, said the government must drop its refusal to talk with Taliban leaders who are on a blacklist, and Omar must end his demand for the departure of foreign troops.
"If they wanted, there could be negotiations," said Salam, a leading member of Parliament.
Rahmani agreed but said the governments in Kabul and Washington must be prepared to discuss amnesty for Taliban leaders, an end to house searches by U.S.-led NATO troops and the status of detainees, including those held in U.S.-run prisons in Afghanistan.
The Taliban would have to halt the destruction of schools and infrastructure and attacks on government officials like teachers, he said. He also said the insurgents would have to drop a demand for a withdrawal of U.S.-led international forces, and renounce links with al Qaida.
"The Afghan Taliban are not al Qaida," he said. "They should have the confidence that Afghanistan is their country, Afghanistan is their homeland and they have the right to live in their country."

The idea of an up-and-coming (and sexually repressed) filmmaker taking a job at a porn company to pay the bills might seem like Hollywood lore. But it was the real experience for "Finding Bliss" writer/director Julie Davis.
Davis used that soft (and hard) core experience to make "Bliss," which is hitting theaters Friday -- starring Denise Richards and Leelee Sobieski.
"I worked as the head editor Playboy Channel when I was 25 in the late 90s," says Davis. "It was my first real job out here -- it had benefits and a 401k plan."
She didn't tell people at the time that part of her duties included editing down hard core films so that they would be suitable for the "soft" porn channels. So she's seen it all and then some.
"I was shocked when I first started .But then I slowly became so numb," says Davis. "You see anything enough, it doesn't have the meaning. Which is horrible, That was much worse than being shocked."
"And when it was bored, I thought that's not acceptable."
She left the job after a year. But on the bright side, she got a screenplay which she finally brought to the screen. While there are similarities to Sobieski's character in the film, it's not entirely a tell-all.
"I never fell in love with the director like she does," says Davis. "That's the big difference. I had no love story."

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The New York Yankees clubhouse is one of the most prestige places in all of sports. Lockers with the name plates of Jeter, Rivera, Rodriguez and Cano.
The newest member of that locker room will be former VCU baseball standout Cody Eppley, who received word late on Wednesday that he would be joining the Bronx Bombers.
"I really can't even explain it, I'm so excited and amped up right now," Eppley said. "I'm grateful to get another opportunity at proving myself on the biggest stage. Whatever it takes to help the team win, that's what I'm going to try and do."
Earlier this month, Eppley was claimed off waivers by the Yankees and assigned to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre. In five appearances with the SWB Yankees, the Dillsburg, Pa. native did not allow a run in 6.1 innings of work. Opponents had just two hits off him, while he racked up nine strikeouts to just one walk.
This will be his second stint in "The Big Show" as he made his debut last year with the Texas Rangers when he spent a month with the eventual American League Champions. During that stint, Eppley made 10 appearances, allowing runs in just three of those.
"He gets right-handers out and that's something that any team has interest in adding," Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said. "We're really looking forward to seeing what he can do for us."
The former Ram was a 43rd-round pick by the Rangers in 2008. He was the Rangers' Minor League Relief Pitcher of the Year in 2010 when he went 5-2 with a 2.08 ERA and 16 saves.
Eppley will join the Yankees on Friday when they finish up a four-game home series with the Twins before heading to Beantown for the first series in 2012 between the hated rivals.

Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Despite deaths, push continues to open roads to ATVs
Last Mother's Day, Jaret Graham, 14, climbed on the back of an all-terrain vehicle driven by his 12-year-old cousin. As they sped down a paved stretch of country road in west Texas, the 12-year-old lost control, the vehicle went into a ditch and the cousin fell off, injuring his leg. Jaret was thrown off and hit his head on a cattle guard, a barrier made from steel pipes. He died instantly.
ATV accidents such as this _ on roadways, rather than trails _ are widespread and have increased in recent years. The latest U.S. figures indicate that ATV crashes kill more than 700 people and injure 100,000 every year, with nearly two-thirds of the fatal accidents occurring on public or private roads.
The accidents keep happening even though all ATVs sold in the United States carry a warning label that says the vehicles are not to be driven on the road: Their high center of gravity and low-pressure tires mean they're likely to tip over or go out of control on pavement. What's more, the vehicles aren't held to federal safety standards for cars and trucks, such as the requirement for seat belts, even though they can reach highway speeds.
Nevertheless, a push is under way in states, counties and towns across the country to open more roads to ATVs. Last year alone, three states passed laws that gave authorities the power to open certain public roads to ATVs. Since the beginning of 2012, local governments in at least 18 more states have opened specified roads to ATVs or have considered such a move.
"We are moving backward on this issue," said Rachel Weintraub, the legislative director and senior counsel for the Consumer Federation of America.
While the Consumer Product Safety Commission regulates hazardous products and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration oversees traffic safety, neither federal agency has authority over where people ride ATVs.
News accounts provide a litany of deadly accidents:
_ In August, Andrea Allen, 22, was carrying three toddlers on an ATV in Center Point, Ind., when she veered off the pavement and went into a ditch. The vehicle caught fire, and Allen and two of the toddlers, one of whom was her son, died.
_ That same month, 11-year-old Chase Roush was killed when the ATV he was driving on a road in Racine, Ohio, crossed the center line and was hit by an oncoming car.
_ In October, Tony Stacy, 52, died near Bakersfield, Calif., when his ATV collided with a pickup.
_ The following week in North Plymouth, Mass., 25-year-old Joseph Vandini was killed when he lost control of the ATV he was driving. He crashed into a curb and a tree, and was thrown through a tattoo parlor's plate glass window, causing fatal head injuries.
Safety advocates fear that accidents such as these will become more common as efforts to open more paved surfaces to ATVs gain traction. Last summer, Washington state passed a law that allows ATVs on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or lower in seven rural counties. The law also gave counties and municipalities in the rest of the state the power to decide whether to do the same. Now state lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow counties to open roads with higher speed limits to ATVs.
Lawmakers in Missouri and Michigan gave local governments similar discretion last year. An Iowa measure backed by riders groups that would have opened country roads across the state to ATVs stalled in committee, but local initiatives are moving ahead. Local jurisdictions in Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin have considered or approved such actions since the beginning of 2012.
"It's a very unfortunate trend," said Robert Adler, acting chairman of the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is studying ATV safety with the aim of possibly writing new regulations governing the design of the vehicles. ATVs are getting bigger and more powerful, he said, "taking a machine that is quite dangerous and increasing the hazards."
The agency has worked on a new ATV safety rule since 2006, and officials aren't saying when it might be issued. Speaking hypothetically, Adler said the rule might bring changes that included redesigning seats to make it more difficult to carry passengers, making the vehicles more stable or setting upper limits on the speeds ATVs can travel.
Most states still prohibit ATVs from streets, often with exceptions for farmers or others who use the vehicles for work or for riders of trails that cross roads. But riders groups and local ATV clubs have made headway by arguing that opening more roads to ATVs will draw tourists and provide residents with a cheap way to motor around.
Public health advocates say such moves undermine safety messages and confuse the public. "They think it will bring increased tourism revenue to various states and jurisdictions, but at what cost?" asked Weintraub.
Rural Tippecanoe County, Ind., is considering opening more country roads to ATVs. Jay Jackson, executive director of American Bikers Aimed Toward Education of Indiana, a motorcyclists' rights group that also represents off-road riders, has spoken in favor of the measure. He said accidents often involved alcohol use or reckless riding, and that risks could be managed through education and regulations such as requiring driver's licenses, as Indiana law does. "We're not suggesting you see these in downtown Chicago driving around and mixing with taxis," he said.
The companies that make the machines say they disagree. "Off-highway vehicles are not designed to be ridden on roads," said Paul Vitrano, executive vice president and general counsel for the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America, a trade group that represents ATV manufacturers.
Vitrano said his group "vigorously opposes" efforts to open roads to ATVs. However, the manufacturers want to remain on good terms with rider groups, and some critics have questioned how hard they to try to discourage on-road use of ATVs.
Sue DeLoretto-Rabe, an Oregon resident who co-founded Concerned Families for ATV Safety after her young son died in an ATV crash, says the industry should take a more proactive stance against the new spate of laws. She was similarly disappointed when the industry stood by and let riders groups defeat a bill that would have banned children under 12 from using ATVs in her state. "In reality, they're all about selling ATVs," she said.
The institute doesn't have a lobbying budget that specifically targets the issue, but Vitrano said the organization often sent letters to lawmakers who were considering bills to open roads to ATVs. In Washington state last year, its lobbyist hand-delivered such letters.
In addition, the organization operates a nonprofit called the ATV Safety Institute, aimed at teaching safe riding, including staying off roads.
A recent study from Iowa suggests the safety message is not reaching riders. The Iowa ATV Injury Prevention Taskforce surveyed 4,300 children from 2010 to 2012 and found that 75 percent of those who'd been on ATVs had ridden on public roads.
Rocky Graham, Jaret's father, said he worried that opening roads to ATVs would put more kids in risky situations that they didon't have the judgment to handle. "When your kid gets on that four-wheeler and you're not around, if he's 12 he's going to think like a 12-year-old."

Subscribe To Cee Lo Green Pleads Not Guilty To Slipping His Date Ecstasy Updates
I've already subscribed
After a lengthy investigation, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has decided to officially charge The Voice star Cee Lo Green with slipping a woman ecstasy while the two were on a date last summer. Yesterday, the thirty-eight-year-old singer appeared in court for his arraignment. He formally pled not guilty and later posted $30,000 bond. He's due back in court on November 20 to answer the charge against him. If convicted, he could spend up to four years in jail, but given the allegations against him, it could have been far worse.
The date in question happened last July. Green and the victim were out to dinner when he allegedly slipped ecstasy into her meal. The unidentified victim claims to have woken up the next morning in her hotel room completely naked. She later told police she was sexually assaulted, an allegation the singer has vehemently denied both publically and privately.
Police interviewed numerous people working at the restaurant and spent months going over the facts of the case. Ultimately, the District Attorney didn't find enough evidence to move forward on any charges related to the supposed rape, but apparently, they feel pretty good about the drugging allegation. Still, Green's defense team is already spinning the dropped charge as a big victory, which it is.
Here's what attorney Blair Berk told CNN…
"Mr. Green encouraged a full and complete investigation of those claims, and he was confident once conducted, he would be cleared of having any wrongful intent and it would be established that any relations were consensual. CeeLo had faith that if the true facts were known, the district attorney would reject those charges."
Thus far, NBC has taken a wait and see approach when it comes to Green and this lingering case. As a popular judge on The Voice, NBC clearly wants to keep him around. As such, the network has steadfastly refused to comment. As a large company concerned about its public image, however, it's very possible producers may cave if the general public starts turning against him (a la Paula Deen) or he admits the charges (a la Fred Willard).
We'll keep you updated on this case as it moves forward.

Colorado wildfire threatening 'numerous homes'
FORT COLLINS – Authorities say a 40-acre wildfire burning in gusty winds and warm weather in northern Colorado was threatening homes near Fort Collins and has caused about 50 people to leave the area.
Smoke from the fire was visible 60 miles away in the north Denver suburbs on Friday. Fire spokesman Capt. Patrick Love says the blaze was burning just outside Lory State Park west of Fort Collins.
The fire comes as much of the state is dealing with drought conditions after a relatively dry winter and a deadly wildfire season last year.
Temperatures reached into the 70s along Colorado's Front Range but cooler weather was expected Saturday.
The Larimer County Sheriff's office says one structure has been affected by the fire, but officials don't know the extent of the damage or whether the structure was a house.

168th Commencement: Watch Live
In Albany, as elsewhere in America, immigrants from Europe began to arrive to great numbers during the latter part of the 19th century, each new ethnic groups representing to a degree the young nation's latest "minority" population to the country's melting pot. While Germans and Irish had resided in Albany since colonial times, their presence increased significantly during this period. Jews had established a community in the early part of the century, but many more settled after 1890. Immigrants from Poland and Italy arrived in Albany at the turn of the century.Students attending Albany Law School reflected these demographic changes. Between 1868 and 1895, descendants of Dutch and English settlers sat in class with O'Briens, Nolans and McConnells, Nachtmans, Schultzes and Muhlfeders. Perhaps one of the law school's earliest Jewish students was Myer Nussbaum from New York City, class of 1877, who became a prominent Albany judge and argued a bankruptcy case before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1916.In Nussbaum's class was the first Asian student to attend the law school, Kozu Senzaburo of Tokyo. Two years early, Senzaburo had been persuaded by David Murray, an American who had been appointed imperial superintendent of education to Japan, to study Western teaching methods at the New York State Normal School. Senzaburo enrolled in the law school after completing the course at the normal school. Returning to Japan in 1878, Senzaburo taught school and published widely on Western music.Another early foreign student was Amara Cavalcanti of Rio de Janeiro, who entered the law school in 1881. He later became Brazil's ambassador to the United States and then chief justice of the Brazilian Superior Court.Also in the class of 1881 was the first American Indian student, Alinton Telle, from Boggy Depot, Indian Territory, now Oklahoma. Upon his return home, he practiced law and compiled the first code of laws for the Choctaw Nation.It is not possible to tell from names alone in the Albany Law School alumni catalogues whether any students were of African descent. In the mid-1800s, education opportunities for blacks in Albany, as elsewhere in the country, were minimal at best.
James Campbell Matthews is the first alumnus that can be identified with certainty as African-American. He is also New York State's first black judge. Before law school, he clerked at a local attorney's office, then entered law school in 1868, graduating in 1870 at the age of 24.
Only two years later Matthews argued against the city of Albany's School Board, and won, forcing the city to desegregate the public schools. As the state's most prominent African American, he lobbied for a bill that would protect the rights of black teachers, which the Governor, Grover Cleveland, signed into law. Two years later, Cleveland, who was then the U.S. president, nominated Matthews to succeed Frederick Douglass as Recorder of Deeds in Washington, but his nomination was blocked by Republican senators. Matthews went on to practice law in Albany for 44 years, elected Albany Recorder in 1898, where he stayed through two mayors.
Joining the next class were Jose Ramos Casellas from Manati and Pedro E. Ramirez of Mayaguez, a coastal village that would send several Puerto Rican students to Albany for their legal training. Class prophet Leopoldo Feliu of San German graduated in 1906, having distinguished himself by writing the best final thesis. A fellow classmate from the same town was Jose Lopez Acosta, who married Clarissa B. Pritchard, another law student. Jose Sabater, class of 1909, became a judge of the Superior Court in Puerto Rico. More than two dozen Puerto Ricans attended the school over a 20 year period during Dean J. Newton Fiero's (1895-1824) administration.The character of the student body changed noticeably during and after World War I. Although there were a dwindling number of foreign students during Fiero's deanship as compared to earlier periods in the school's history, several young men from China were admitted shortly before the United States' involvement in World War I. Edward Jun Chu and Wan Koi Lam, both of whom had attended Canton College, arrived in 1915 and graduated with the class of 1917. Hinting Wong, a resident of Hong Kong who had attended Kwang Chaw University, earned his degree a year later.If female students and faculty through the Depression, World War II and the post-war boom were marginal or missing, blacks were close to invisible. Between 1890, when Robert Douge graduated from the law school, and the 1950s, only one African-American attended: Peter Pryor, class of 1954, later a member of Albany Law's board of trustees, its 2001 gold medal winner for service to the school and former member of the New York State Board of Regents.Pryor was among the top 10 in his graduating class, a class secretary, he served as a trustee for eight years and since as a trustee emeritus. After a long and successful law career, Pryor more recently has been associated with Filling in the Gaps in American History (FIGAH) Inc., an organization that researches and disseminates Information on people of African descent in the Americas who do not usually appear in textbooks.Anthony V. Cardona, the presiding justice of the New York State Appellate Division, third department, since 1994, is a class of 1970 graduate and current trustee. The Vietnam War Navy veteran practiced law for 14 years before being named Albany County Family Court judge in 1985 and elected to the state Supreme Court in 1991. Cardona has served as president of the Council of Chief Judges of the American Bar Association. During the administration of Dean Richard J. Bartlett (1979-1986), affirmative action was pursued more vigorously at the law school. Thirteen scholarships were made available in his first year. In three years, the incoming class had tripled to 30 the number of minorities.Prior to that in the early 1970s, scholarships for minorities funded by the Howard and Bush Foundation attracted a handful of black students. One of the era's minority law school graduates, Randolph F. Treece, class of 1976, is a U.S. magistrate Judge for the Northern District of New York. At the time of his appointment in 2001, he was general counsel for the state Comptroller's Office. Prior to that, he had been first deputy of the Capital Defender Office; and an assistant state's attorney general; a Rensselaer County assistant public defender. Treece, who has also taught at Albany Law School, has been honored with the Center for Law and Justice 2002 Frederick Douglass Award; the 1999 Albany County Bar Association President's Award; the 1999 Albany Law School Distinguished Service Award; New York State Bar Association's Root/Stinson Award; New York Civil Liberties Roland Smith Award; NAACP Thurgood Marshall Award; and the 2000 Man of the Year Award from the Capital District Chapter of the Links. Treece has served as a trustee at Albany Law School and Siena College, and on the state Bar Foundation directors' board, serving as treasurer, and Albany County Bar Association. He is co-founder and president of the Capital District Black Bar Association. In 1979, Olara Otunnu, an African lawyer who had been trained t Oxford and Harvard, agreed to commute to Albany once a week from New York City, where he served as a Ugandan diplomat to the United Nations. A political exile during the regime of Idi Amin, Otunnu taught a seminar, "International Protection of Human Rights." He remained at the school only one year.Frank Fernandez, class of 1980 and a law school trustee, served as executive vice president, secretary and general counsel for The Home Depot, Inc., from 2001-2007, including overseeing a 75-attorney legal department through 48 mergers and acquisitions worth more than $8 billion.In 1980, Anthony Baldwin became the first African-American professor in the school's history. A graduate of Harvard Law School, Baldwin had previously taught at North Carolina Central University School of Law. In Albany, he specialized in labor law and remained on the faculty for 10 years.Henry Tseng, a graduate of Soochow University Law School and New York University Law School, was hired as librarian the same year. The author of several books and articles, Tseng also taught courses in copyright law, immigration and naturalization law and international law. Alex Y. Seita, a specialist in commercial law and bankruptcy, became the first Asian-American professor in 1983. A respected educator in his area, Seita has continued to publish regularly as he nears 30 years of teaching at the law school. New York State Sen. John L. Sampson, 19th District, which encompasses portions of his home boroughs of Brooklyn, class of 1991, was elected to the New York State Senate in 1996. During his law school studies, Sampson worked with the state Department of Environmental Conservation. After graduation, Sampson became a staff attorney for the Legal Aid Society of New York. Sampson, who has been a member of the senate since 1996, is a law school trustee and is the first African-American to serve as senate Judiciary Committee chairman. Sampson is also chairman of the senate Ethics Committee and Administrative Regulations Review Commission and deputy majority leader for State/Federal Relations.In 1991, John T. Baker was chosen the 13th dean of the law school. He was also the school's first African-American chief administrator. Born in 1941 in Louisville, Ky., Baker was an activist during the 1960s. He graduated from Fisk University and Howard University Law School in 1965. In the 1970s, he taught at Yale, New York University and Indiana University.Baker organized in 1992 the law school's first Minority Law Day, which was designed to make the process of applying to less intimidating. After two years, Baker resigned his position but remained at the school for nearly a decade as a professor, teaching courses in corporate law and civil rights.In 1993, Baker invited Richard D. Parsons, valedictorian in 1971, to deliver the Edward C. Sobota '79 Memorial Lecture. After a career in government, Parsons had become the CEO of the Dime Savings Bank of New York and was known for encouraging banks to invest in inner-city neighborhoods. Parsons would later become in 2001 chairman and CEO of the media conglomerate Time Warner, and in 2009 became chairman of the financial services conglomerate, CitiGroup.Barbara Cottrell, class of 1984, has been an assistant U.S. attorney for the Northern District of New York since 1985. Cottrell previously served three years in the Army Medical Service Corps, stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., and assigned to the 5th Combat Support Hospital and the 44th Medical Brigade Headquarters. Cottrell transferred to the Army Reserve to attend law school and was assigned to the 364th General Hospital in Albany until retirement, achieving the rank of major. While a law student, Cottrell was chairman of the Moot Court Board and elected to the National Moot Court honorary order of barristers. Cottrell has been a law school trustee for more than 10 years, served on the board of St. Peter's Hospital and her hometown's Youth Court Advisory Board. John E. Higgins, class of 1989, a partner with Nixon Peabody, has also taught at the law school, bringing to the classroom his expertise in labor and employment law. Higgins was selected by peers as one of the "Best Lawyers in America" in the areas of labor and employment law for inclusion in the 2007 through 2010 editions of "The Best Lawyers in America." Higgins was recently named one of the top attorneys in corporate litigation in the corporate counsel edition of "Super Lawyers" (January/February 2010).In 2009, Higgins was reappointed to serve a second three-year term as a member of the Independent Judicial Election Qualification Commission for the Third Judicial District. Also in 2009, the law school's Black Law Students Association honored Higgins with its first Award for Alumni Dedication, named after him for the work he has done over the years mentoring law students of color.The national Black American Law Students Association (BALSA), which had established a law school chapter during the 1970s, has played an important role in minority recruitment during the past 30 years. In 1979, second -year student Karen Cochrane was elected to represent the northeast region of BALSA. In addition, to recruitment efforts, BALSA sponsored guest lecturers and offered tutoring to incoming students. In the mid-1980s, Hispanics began to enroll in greater number. One 1984 graduate, Betty Lugo later made history when she formed the first Latina-owned law firm in New York City. The 2006 recipient of Albany Law's Kate Stoneman Award is a law school trustee.Those initiatives to improve minority representation on the law school campus appear to have made progress. A 2008 study by Columbia Law School, on minority enrollments at three of the state's law schools found that Albany Law School reported 37 students, or 13.4 percent, of its 1993 entering class of 277 classified themselves as racial minorities. In 2008, 64 students, or 25 percent of its entering class of 255, were minorities.Albany Law TodayMinority enrollment at Albany Law School constitutes over 22 percent of the student body, while women make up approximately 48 percent. Albany Law School is deeply committed to diversity as a broad principle that encompasses ethnic, racial, religious, age, sexual orientation, and veteran status.
In 2007, Albany Law School established a Diversity Affairs Office to further our welcoming and inclusive community, and to expand opportunities for under-represented minorities, both within the law school and in the broader legal profession.
