Graduate/Professional School Options
What Is Graduate School?
- Graduate school is an advanced program of study on a particular subject or profession. Traditionally, graduate school has been geared more toward generating original research. However, there are also programs that pertain to developing skills and knowledge to acquire a specific profession.
- Graduate school is different from undergraduate study for a variety of reasons. Graduate programs tend to have smaller, more intimate class room settings, where discussion and participation is even more important. Many students work during graduate school not only to pay the bills, but to gain experience in their field of choice. Because of this many programs will have night classes to accommodate those working during the day.

What Types of Degrees are Available?
- Master's Degrees: There are a vast variety of different master's degree fields of study to choose from. Some master's programs will lead to doctoral degree programs, but many are "terminal" master's degrees, meaning they do not segue into a doctoral program. These programs typically take a full-time student 2 years to complete. Some examples are Master's of Business Administration, and Master's of Arts in Education.
- Specialist Degrees: Are certifications and credentials earned in addition to a master's degree, such as a teaching credential.
- Doctoral Degrees: Are the most advanced degree that one can receive. They are typically focused on one specialty area of study and involve unique individual research which leads to the defense of a dissertation. The typical length of a program for a doctoral degree is five to seven years.

UPDATE: A new set of original film prints of dogs diving under water, from 1997, was recently uncovered by Business Insider.
EARLIER: You think you know what a dog looks like when it dives into a swimming pool to fetch a ball. And then you see these astonishing underwater images by photographer Seth Casteel: It's a startling frenzy of teeth, jowls, eyes and claws.
The near-weightless conditions, coupled with the drag of the water, do odd things to a dog. Lips go flying. Fur and ears lie flat. Eyelids are peeled back.
Most of all, they reveal the intense determination that dogs bring to having fun.
Casteel—a commercial photographer who has worked for dog toy company Kong, JW Pet Co., Animal Planet, and Nintendo—first started shooting dogs underwater about 18 months ago when he was asked to do a portrait of a King Charles spaniel who wouldn't stay out of his owner's pool.
Last week, a selection of the Californian's images went viral (as they say) and now he's getting calls from all over the world to do underwater pet portraits.
A ball. A pool. And fangs.

Headlines touting a power struggle between the CEO and board of directors of a company usually garner more attention than those championing the successes of such relationships. But the partnership between a CEO and his company's board of directors is crucial to the success of many companies.
For this reason, many in the quick-serve industry say it's imperative for CEOs to not only establish effective relations with the board, but to also maintain and improve those relations at every opportunity.
For CEOs who have a say in board members' selection, careful picking is one of the best ways to establish a strong relationship early on, experts say.
"Have a long-term vision of where you want to bring the brand," says Joe Luongo, president and CEO for Peter Piper Pizza, based in Phoenix. "Who will help you bring the brand there? Identify the expertise first, and then tap into your resources."
Bringing in members with a good breadth of experience and with different backgrounds that work well together is essential, says Robert Israel, founder and CEO of Boulder, Colorado–based Doc Popcorn. "They've got to bring other levels of experience to the table," he says.
For example, the Doc Popcorn board includes a legal representative for franchising, a 10-year franchise-industry veteran, a seasoned finance and business expert, a chief marketing officer, and Israel, who brings an operational and creative mix to the board.
Israel says quick-serve companies should also seek out people with a variety of personalities for the board of directors.
"Go with personalities you're not necessarily comfortable with but respect," he says. "You need people you can trust and who are fundamentally honest."
In addition, choose proactive board members, Israel says. "You want people who are active and bring value. Put your board to work."
Once board members are in place, the next step should be communicating on a regular basis with all board members, not just the chairman, experts say.
"There should be a clear understanding that the CEO reports to the board, not to the chair," wrote Susan Robinson and Audra August, principals with Leadership Solutions at Knightsbridge Human Capital Solutions, in their article "Creating More Productive CEO-Board Relationships." The article was published in the March 2011 issue of Director Journal, a publication of the Institute of Corporate Directors.
"Sometimes chairs of the board or of sub-committees falsely assume that these roles give them greater authority than other board members," the authors wrote. "Therefore, the role of the board and committee chairs should also be clarified, especially with respect to deliverables and decision-making."
At Peter Piper Pizza, Luongo meets quarterly with the board, although he provides a weekly update to the chairman to keep him informed. Israel, too, meets quarterly with the full board, but says he frequently talks with board members, including lunch every two weeks with the board's finance and business expert.
"I'm always conversing with one board member or another on a weekly basis," he says.
This ongoing dialogue does not necessarily promote more say for the board in CEO decisions, experts say.
"I know what I want to do," Israel says. "I make day-to-day decisions with my team." However, for key issues such as major hiring, capital expenses, or brand initiatives, he does check in with the board. "I want the board's buy-in, support, and input, but mostly as a gut check," Israel says.
In a similar approach, Luongo works with the board to lay out business strategies for the coming months and year, though he still handles the day-to-day business. "I like to have everything ready to go before our fiscal year," he says. "It really sets the tone for achieving performance goals."
Of course, with a variety of personalities, occasional disagreements do pop up and must be addressed. "We do have disagreements at times, but we hammer it out," Luongo says. "In the end, we decide how we're going to handle it. We make decisions as a team. The board really has helped set significant strategic direction."
Israel takes a slightly different approach: "I bug them until they agree," he says. "They know that if I believe in it, they should just get out of my way. But I listen. They have whacked me over the head, where I have to go think about it and come back and re-present it. I do not have control of the board."
In fact, when the Doc Popcorn board was established, there were many power struggles—surrounding staff, branding, marketing, and how to allocate resources and where to do so, Israel says.
"There have been places when it's been uncomfortable," he says. "There was a lot of locking horns for the first six months. We built trust over the last two years. We're in this lifeboat together, and nobody's jumping out. That's a credit to the board."
After dealing with tough situations, Israel says, both he and the board move forward without any baggage. "[I] state [my] case, the board states their case, we make a decision, and we're done and go about our business," he says.
When it comes to improving relations with the board, both Luongo and Israel say communication is the primary tool. "It really comes down to communications and setting up expectations early," Luongo says. "You have to be open and honest about everything that's going on in the business."
Israel also recommends having patience to figure out personalities and make sure everyone is on the same page.
Finally, all parties must leave their egos at the door, Luongo says. "CEOs tend to have big egos, so we have to leave the ego outside the room, go in, and see if someone else has a better idea," he says.
Creating and maintaining strong relations with the board can pay off in more ways than just good business. For Israel, who went from operating an individual business to running a franchise operation, establishing a good relationship with the board has taught him accountability.
"The board has held me accountable to the [profit-and-loss statement], which is good for me," he says. "I've become a more disciplined entrepreneur."

Call us "Hobbits" if you will, Senator McCain, but expect more Dodd-Frank mirth. July 21, 2011, marked the first birthday and look how it's grown! We can hardly wait for Dodd-Frank to stop burping up formula, start crawling around, knocking things over, and screaming, "Mine!" Can we child-proof the banks?
Speaking of which, there is nothing funny about Basel III (we wish), unless your interests tend toward fingernails on chalkboard. As we report here, a lot has happened on the banks of the Rhine since we last met. We also report on Dodd-Frank, hostilities over debit interchange and mortgage loan-mods, privacy, and those wacky post-Concepcion decisions that are bulldozing aside the remaining obstacles to consumer arbitration—that, and much more.
Until next time, we'll leave our closing remarks to Texas Governor Rick Perry, who in June 2005 was overheard saying at the close of an interview while the broadcast feed was still live: "Adios, mofo."

The brand's unique identifier for a product. Multiple product codes can be mapped to one mother product data-sheet if the specifications are identical. We map away wrong codes or sometimes logistic variants.
A switch is a device with which it is possible to connect computers into a (local area) network, provided your computers all have an appropriate networking device installed. Switches can be daisy chained to form larger networks and come in managed and unmanaged variaties. The unmanaged versions generally cannot filter data and will forward any data that is fed into them, so they are better suited for small networks. Switches are easy to set up (just plug in the network cables) and allow you to share printers, storage space and other network resources with your entire home or office network.

Written by Daniel Hazard
How earnestly are we teaching love, non-violence?
Day after day, we are depressed by the news of more death and destruction in Iraq, plus reports of conflict and death in Afghanistan, Israel, Palestine and other nations. Is there a way of ending the conflicts and building a world where justice and peace prevail? A perfect society is out of the question, but certainly a more just and peaceful world community is a goal for which we must strive.
We need to begin, I believe, by reflecting seriously on the predominant thought-forms, attitudes and actions which are widespread in our world today. For centuries, people have made warfare an acceptable and appropriate form of action. If a group or nation appears to be your enemy, then invade or destroy it before it brings harm to you and your people. If an ethnic group is different, get rid of it or exploit it for your own gain.
Religious bodies - Christian, Jewish, Muslim and others - have generally been quick to bless warfare and violence. How much attention, for example, have we who are Christian paid to Jesus' teachings: "Blessed are the peacemakers," "Turn the other cheek," "Walk the second mile," "Love God, love neighbor" and even "Love your enemies"? Have we really listened to prophets like Micah who said, "Do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with your God?"
. I am impressed by what the American Friends Service Committee describes as "bedrock principles:"
. Live simply and be straightforward in your dealings with others.
. Work for justice and peace, even when it is unpopular.
. See that of God in every person.
. Know that each man, woman and child merits respect and our compassion.
Is warfare ever justified? Developed by Christian theologians in the fourth and fifth centuries, the just-war tradition argued that a war was justified only if fought in self defense, had peaceful intent, was conducted by legitimate rulers, if victory was certain, if civilians would not be harmed, if benefits exceeded harm and if it was the last resort.
Personally, I do not regard the Iraq war as a just war. Invasion was not our last resort and some other conditions of a just war were not met.
As we continue to seek peace and order in Iraq and, along with other nations, seek a non-nuclear Iran, we must also engage in long-range planning about the kind of world out children and grandchildren might inhabit.
What are the values we are sharing? How earnestly are we, as pastors and congregations, teaching non-violence and love for all people?
We need to express these values in our daily living as we seek, with God's help, to build a world community in which all persons are valued and given opportunities for life at its fullest.

'Big Chill' alumni recall special experience
by Staff Writer / Detroit Red WingsShawn Hunwick is one of two people to ever lead his hockey team onto the playing surface at Michigan Stadium.
Hunwick, the starting goaltender for Michigan in "The Big Chill at The Big House" on Dec. 11, 2010, is an authority on what it is like to step onto the ice with more than 100,000 people watching and waiting in anticipation.
"It is just a sea of people," Hunwick said. "If you've ever been to the Big House, it's not so much straight up as it is dug deep and there are so many rows. We run those stairs in the stadium every fall for conditioning, so we know exactly how many rows there are. It is so many people.
"Coming out and touching the banner -- I was the first guy to touch the 'Go Blue' banner that the football guys normally run past and grab. That was a neat experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life."
Added forward and Phoenix Coyotes prospect Chris Brown: "During warmups you got a little taste of what it's like to be a football player here. All of us for sure were looking around. We probably got a little distracted. Once the game started, we were able to stay focused and it was just a great event."
The Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs will stage the second hockey game in the history of the famous college football cathedral in Ann Arbor, Mich., in the 2013 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic, which the League officially christened Thursday. Hunwick and his Wolverines defeated Michigan State, 5-0, there last season.
There have been several outdoor college hockey games, but "The Big Chill" was unique because of the venue. Michigan Stadium is officially the largest stadium in the country, though there a few that continue to expand to try and one-up each other.
The official capacity for football games is 109,901, but attendance routinely tops 111,000. When Notre Dame came to town this past season for the first night game at the stadium, nearly 115,000 were on hand to set a new NCAA single-game record.
"The Big Chill was great. We set an [attendance] record and every time you think about it, it sends chills down your spine," Michigan forward and New Jersey Devils prospect David Wohlberg said. "It was one of those things that is only going to happen once and it was a lot of fun.
"I've been to football games. I went to the Notre Dame game this year and it was awesome. But it was the flyover that we had, the fireworks, the way everything came together, the weather -- it all just worked out perfectly."
The announced attendance at "The Big Chill" was 113,411. To be certified as an official record for the most people to ever see a hockey game, the people at Guinness World Records counted tickets scanned that day and not tickets purchased. For their purposes and for the record book, the attendance was 104,173, which was still more than 35,000 greater than the previous world hockey attendance mark.
Now the NHL, with two of its name-brand franchises, will set out to have its first game with more than 100,000 fans on hand. There's going to be a lot of red in the old stadium this time. There will be a lot of blue as well -- but it is going to be of a lighter shade as Maple Leafs fans make the trek to Ann Arbor.
"It's going to be incredible," New York Rangers rookie Carl Hagelin, who played for Michigan last year, said. "It's obviously going to sell out. A lot of Toronto people are going to come down. Two great teams as well. If you had a chance to go watch that game, it would be pretty incredible.
"I just think the whole Winter Classic thing and taking it outdoors is an incredible idea. People love it, even non-hockey fans. The fans are having so much fun. I remember last year when I played at the Big House, I had 25 suites and they were partying all day and all night. It's pretty cool to see them after the game. It's 5 o'clock and they're already pretty buzzed."

A cup of tea?
When it comes to tea I'm a firm believer in two things- 1: it always tastes better if you're drinking it from a pretty mug or tea cup and 2: that a cup of tea and a browse through your favourite blogs is the definition of a perfect afternoon.
Any other tea drinkers out there? I'm an earl grey or english breakfast girl, and when it comes to herbal teas green tea or white tea with pear win for me every time.
39 comments:
You are so right. I have a thing for teacups, and at the moment have at least 16 of them. If I could, I would buy new all the time. Unfortunately there's no space in our cupboard. But it really has an effort on the taste of the tea, that's for sure!
Love, Inari
http://agirlandanotebook.blogspot.comMy tea collection doesn't fit into my allocated pantry space, so I've taken over an entire drawer in the living room.
I'm obsessed with teapots and other tea related paraphernalia (I even got a floral cow cream jug for christmas).
Favourite tea is currently Lipton's Moroccan mint spice. YUMMMAbsolutely! Definitely a Tea Girl here. I drink it every day. I love all kinds. My favorites right now are Cherry Blossom Green, Dragon Pearl Jasmine, Hot Cinnamon Spice from Harney & Sons and Samurai Chai and Blueberry Bliss from Teavana. I'm a huge green tea fan, but I also love black and white teas, especially with just a bit of flavor. My fall-backs are Constant Comment and Earl Grey (with just a splash of cream or milk). :) Nothing like a warm cup of tea on a cold day. Especially while catching up on blog or magazine reading. Speaking of, I think I'm going to make a cup. ;)
Also, have you signed up with Steepster.com? It's a great site for tea reviews. Here's my profile if you'd like to link up: http://steepster.com/sarakate.Those cups are lovely - when I was little we lived in the Netherlands and often went to Germany to visit the flea markets. My mom let me pick out a mismatched tea set from all of the pieces that I liked best at the market. Being a typical kid, though, I got upset when I realized that all the other girls had matching sets. What a silly girl, now I wish I knew where those pieces were.
And green tea in the morning, herbal in the evening :)Yay for tea!
One of my favorite past-times is so curl up in the colder winter months, wrapped in a blanket with my mom, and drink a good De-Caf cup of Apple Cinnamon flavored tea. Other than that, I am quite a fan of the good old Breakfast teas. But I can't stand it with milk. just plain tea, with lots of sugar...makes me thirsty just thinking about it!
Great post, I really love those Tea-Cups :0
Here is a recipe for easy peasy iced tea in summer.
Get up five minutes earlier,'
fill up the jug then pour the boiled water into a pitcher with two breakfast teabags, three tablespoons of sugar and two big slices of lemon.
Put in fridge and chill.
Then go out shopping, buy a pretty floral tea-cup from a thrift store and a vintage spoon from somewhere you've never been, come home and enjoy a cup of tea with ice-cubes and the sunset to whisper your secrets to.
xHey Amanda,
Not quite in line with everyone else's love of a cup of tea but I think you should read (particularly being a New Zealander!) Katherine Mansfield's story "A Cup of Tea". Absolutely one of my favourites of hers which is saying something considering I've read every single one, and written a play about her :P I adapted "A Cup of Tea" for the play and it was my favourite bit of the whole thing!!!
ameliaHello! Those cups are so beautiful! And it makes all the difference, you are completely right.
I'm a big fan of Earl Grey as well, but you must try Lady Grey Tea. I believe it's even better. It's not that strong and you will be dazzled by the taste of Seville Orange and lemon peel.
Try it and let me know what you think!

The Computer Science and Information Systems program offers a B.S. degree and a B.A. degree. For the B.S. degree, students can choose between two related but distinct concentrations in either Computer Science or Information Systems. The B.S. degree provides in-depth study and experience with essential computing concepts. The B.A. degree offers a broad foundation in computing, with more flexibility to pursue individual needs and interests. Our curriculum also offers a rich set of courses that provides a foundation for professional employment and advanced study in Information Assurance and Security.
The Difference Between Information Systems and Computer Science Concentrations
The software and systems designed and created by Computer Science and Information Systems (CSIS) professionals are an integral part of our society and enable the technology we use every day. They design, develop, implement and manage the applications that power smart phones, allow us to connect on Facebook and Twitter, entertain us with games, make online shopping safe and secure, keep the Internet running smoothly, make cars and planes more efficient and safer, etc.
At Stockton, all CSIS majors learn the fundamentals of programming and problem solving, mathematics, systems analysis and design, and networks. In addition, students choose to concentrate in either Computer Science (CS) or Information Systems (IS).
CS professionals design and develop novel software solutions to computing problems in a broad range of disciplines, such as the sciences, engineering, medicine, and entertainment. Those who concentrate in CS focus on topics from theory to programming applications. CS students take computing courses, additional mathematics courses and, depending upon their interests, science courses.
IS professionals bridge the gap between computer scientists and the people who use technology in a variety of settings. Those who concentrate in IS focus on the development and alignment of technical and organizational goals to design, implement and manage technological solutions. IS students take computing and other courses which provide a strong understanding of potential work environments.

The Shortlist for Dec. 13
When it came time to play Lisbeth Salander in "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," Rooney Mara was ready to go to more than a few extremes. Namely, she knew she was going to be naked onscreen and as such, that her naked body ought to resemble Lisbeth's as much as possible. "Nudity is such a huge part of the character in the book, so I never thought twice about it," she tells Allure. She even got her nipple pierced, because Lisbeth had the same piercing in the original story. "I'm naked quite a lot in the movie, and I thought, she has it in the book, and she should have it [in the movie]," reasons Rooney. "Because of all the tattoos and the makeup and the piercings, and the physical transformations my body has to go through, it would always feel sort of like I was in costume, even if I was naked. It just felt like a good one to get — a necessary one to get." (Allure)

CIO, CEO of New York Life RPS tackle IT organization transformation
New York Life Retirement Plan Services' CIO and CEO discuss the changing role of the IT organization, and why social media is topping their agenda.

This is an excerpt of a podcast with David Castellani, CEO and senior managing director, and Neal Ramasamy, managing director and CIO, at New York Life Retirement Plan Services (RPS). A Westwood, Mass.-based division of New York Life Investment Management LLC, New York Life RPS manages $38 billion in bundled retirement plans and more than $3.5 billion in defined-contribution investment-only assets.
The full podcast includes the duo's discussion of the changing role of the IT organization, how and why they are developing a social media platform for their customers, and why they are doing away with desktops.
There is much discussion around the need for IT departments to become more like an IT services organization. Neal, do you think this has to happen for IT to truly be a part of the business and drive innovation?
Neal Ramasamy: I absolutely do. If you look at any company, you see that IT takes up quite a bit of bottom-line expenses. So, you sort of have to look at the IT organization as a standalone services organization within the company, with a standalone [profit and loss statement]. The CIO automatically becomes the CEO of that organization. If you look at it the other way, if you said, "This is your grandmother's money. Where would you spend the money?" It's all about pragmatic innovation: If you were to spend a dollar, how are you spending the dollar in a way that is going to maximize shareholder value?
I know we're a privately held company, but it really goes back to, are we putting the money in the right place, where we are providing good tool sets to the participants or the sponsors? Is it helping us to become more efficient? Is it helping us to put out more innovative products down the road? You also have to look at it from another angle: Do you understand the key operating drivers that make the business run?
A lot of times, the IT organization does a pretty good job talking about cost, but they have a really difficult time articulating the value delivered by those investments. So, if you bring it all back together, you do have to look at IT as a standalone entity operating within the business groups; and their job is, they are providing a service. A lot of times, when you cross the line, when you have the IT organization leading and deciding the company's future, that's when you have a lot of the challenges we face today.
Are you doing anything to move more towards an IT services organization?
Ramasamy: We are, and the first thing really starts off with the software portfolio rationalization. We look at what do we have to do over the next three years? How does that line up with our roadmap? What we also have is an internal methodology where we try to plot the work we do on a simple chart which has cost and value laid out.
We look at that picture to say, "Are we investing money in the right places where it's going to maximize the value retuned from those investments?" Then if you align that with the proper investment choices, it's going to get you to where you need to go. You couple this with a strong business alignment, where we've required the senior IT team to live, breathe and understand the core business drivers, that's really the key to where we would like to go and how this will help RPS down the road.
The workforce is changing quite a bit. What are you doing to foster newer work cultures with younger employees raised on mobile devices and social media?
Ramasamy: The ongoing challenge for us is always going to be, how do we stay ahead of consumer technology? The newer generation is used to technology from a much younger age, so we need to build products that are ready for tomorrow but at the same time, balance out the product needs across multiple demographics. I go back to the famous hockey player, Wayne Gretzky. Someone asked him, "How are you successful?" He said, "I don't skate to where the puck has been, I always try to skate to where the puck is going to go."
How do you apply that mind-set or mentality to software and products development? A lot of organizations are trying to solve problems with a finite number of resources. Our goal is to look at the future across multiple demographics, and use a handful of social media to build a tool set that will transcend generations. It's an interesting challenge for a financial services company. You have to come out with innovative products [and] balance that with the ever-changing regulatory compliance.
David Castellani: I think about our end users, the participants we serve and generations now that are different, and I'll use four words here: Today's generation is open. They're collaborative, they seek to get data from the bottom up instead of from the top down. The traditional mind-set of how you deliver basic educational services to help 401(k) investors become wiser has to change greatly. Today's generation doesn't seek information from authoritative sources, it seeks it from communities. How do we interface with social media to make the points we wish to make, and make the education available to them in a way that's going to affect their outcomes? Most of the people in executive positions come from the baby boomer ranks, and they tend to be trapped in the old way of thinking.
Are you going to introduce any social media [technologies] within your organization to not only bridge that generation gap, but also move to a model where it's more transparent and more people are collaborating?
Castellani: We're moving very aggressively to that model. The first phase for us is to create a social site so clients can post information on all kinds of benefits. It doesn't necessarily need to [be a] reply to retirement benefits, it could also be in the health care arena, where there's a lot more pain points. We can facilitate over 500 clients in a single place to get. The common questions we get from clients are, "What are the best practices?" "What are other companies doing?" We can make that a real-time environment quite easily. That's an area we're both investing in and thinking about how we make it most useful for plan sponsors. Ultimately we'll shift that to participant side.

From HaskellWiki
In Haskell, a variable is a name for some valid expression. The word "variable" as applied to Haskell variables is misleading, since a given variable's value never varies during a program's runtime. Instead, the concept is much closer to the mathematical sense of the word, where one might use pi to stand for 3.14159..., or X2 to represent the formula to compute to test for goodness of fit. These values do not generally change in the middle of performing a mathematical calculation or proof.
The operator=
phi = 1.618
Another sense in which "variable" is used in Haskell is as formal parameters to a function. For example:
add x y = x + y
x and y are formal parameters for the add function. This corresponds to the notion of "variable" in the lambda calculus.

Capannelle Chianti Classico Riserva 2003
Sangiovese from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Deep ruby red with purplish reflections. The bouquet jumps out of the glass and shows toast, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, red fruits. Long and persistent with intensity, develops slowly into moss, brushwood, iris, juniper and a little of wild fennel. In mouth it is a little astringent, warm, structured, fresh, tannins. Taste of iris, undergrown, musk mixed with vanilla.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Capanelle's 2003 Chianti Classico Riserva is a powerful, enveloping wine loaded with the essence of sweet red cherries, menthol, smoke and tar. The wine possesses compelling inner sweetness and vibrancy, yet today those qualities are trapped behind a wall of massive tannins that will require a few years in bottle to settle down. This remains a vibrant, perfumed Chianti with a very promising future. Capanelle's Chianti Classico Riserva is 90% Sangiovese and 10% Colorino and Canaiolo. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. "
Capannelle Winery
Capannelle was established in 1974 Raffaele Rossetti, who pioneered stainless steel in the winery, 1-kilo-per-vine crops, new French barriques and French oak fermentation vats when these were all highly futuristic concepts. For many years, the 17th-century estate and avant-garde winery remained an Italian secret: though discovered by young Neil Empson in 1976, Raffaele opted for focusing on the national market only, which the tiny (at the time) production barely covered. Then in 1997, the property was purchased by high-profile U.S. magnate James Sherwood, who maintained Rossetti as consultant but gradually paved the way towards increasing acreage, production and marketing goals. No expense has been spared to outdo the most state-of-the-art criteria: from the underground winery itself (1,000 square meters - nearly 10,800 square feet - of shock-proof ceramic tiles, to the subterranean barrique cellar, built in the year 2000 - 40 meters long (over 130 feet), 3 meters (almost 10 feet) below ground level, dug into the natural rock.
Yet for all these futuristic aspects, the Capannelle building itself is a characteristic chiantigiana stonehouse villa on one of the appellation's gentle hilltops, overlooking Gaiole on one side, vines and woodland on the other. In other words: classic and timeless. The range itself, styled by oenologist Simone Monciatti, is fortunately as rooted in this 17th-century terrain and millenary tradition as in the most modern quality standards. Its hallmark is elegance: the concentration and extract of low-crop noble varieties are complemented by a nose of great finesse and complexity. View all Capannelle Wines
About Tuscany
(TUSS-can-ee) One of the most important wine regions in Italy, Tuscany is home to the cities of Florence and Siena, the districts of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, and the wineries of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Ornellaia. Tuscany is also home to the indigenous Italian grape variety, Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable Facts
The most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...
This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Your Montreal Canadiens are not out of the woods yet.
But the wolves aren't sniffing around a bleeding blue-blanc-rouge carcass … at least for now.
And there's a glimmer of light off in the distance.
Hands up everyone who thought the Canadiens would take four points in Phoenix and Nashville.
The team is two points out of eighth place. They are five points behind the faltering Leafs, with a game in hand.
Buffalo, which is at the Bell Centre Monday night with a shaken Ryan Miller, is four points up.
Over the next two weeks, the Canadiens play eight games, including two back-to-backs – including a Friday night visit to Philadelphia, followed by a Saturday date with Pittsburgh at the Bell Centre.
There's also a visit by Boston, two games against Carolina and a trip to the Island.
I don't want to sound like too much of a drama queen, but this could be the Canadiens' season right here.
Detroit general manager Ken Holland, who knows a thing or two about hockey, has said you can usually tell the contenders from the pretenders by U.S. Thanksgiving.
This year, the holiday falls on Nov. 24, just before the Canadiens' two games against the Pennsylvania powerhouses.
If 96 points punches a ticket to the postseason dance, the Canadiens need to take 80 in their remaining 66 games.
Not impossible. And it might even become probable if the team can get a bit of momentum going heading into December.
There were impressive performances against Nashville:
• Peter Budaj, who's been terrific in his two starts
• the David Desharnais-Max Pacioretty-Erik Cole line, dangerous every time they're out
• Josh-Gorges and a more controlled P.K. Subban, the Canadiens' best D pairing
• Hal Gill on the penalty-kill
• Aaron Palushaj, who looked like an NHLer
And hey, no bench minors!
Nagging problems remain.
La Presse's François Gagnon Tweeted the mind-blowing stat of the night: the Canadiens have scored as many 5-on-4 power-play goals as they've allowed shorthanded: Four.
Seven NHL teams have yet to yield a shorthanded goal this season.
Fifteen teams have allowed one.
The tone was set during the season opener in Toronto, when Matthew Lombardi popped a shorty. Zack Smith of Ottawa, Ryan Jones of the Oilers and, in last night's game, Shea Weber have the others.
But despite the morale-sapping effect of yielding a shorty, the Canadiens have won two of the four games in which it's happened.
That speaks to the team's character and resilience.
But the power play has seven goals (and has yielded those four!) in 59 opportunities – and an 11.9 success rate is not going to get them into the postseason.
On L'Antichambre, Vincent Damphousse said the PP needs Andrei Markov, whom he described as the best power-play defenceman in the league. Damphoussewas less effusive on Tomas Plekanec, who he says just doesn't have the shot to play the point with the man advantage.
The Antichambre gang think Yannick Weber might become an force on the power-play. But he's young, lacks confidence and cannot provide the consistent bullets from the point the team used to get from Sheldon Souray, Marc-André Bergeron and James Wisniewski.
Also, the absence of Markov and Roman Hamrlik makes the power-play overwhelmingly righthanded. Everything happens on that side of the attack, and opposing PKs are overplaying the Canadiens' right side with no concern that a Markov or Hamrlik could pinch from the left point.
Oy! These Xs and Os are giving me a migraine.
Weber's shorty – the only one of Nashville's 26 shots to beat Peter Budaj – came off a faceoff in the Canadiens' end. Because whatever ails Scott Gomez prevents him from taking draws, Brian Gionta took the faceoff and lost it to Nick Spaling, who steered the puck back to Ryan Suter.
Gomez skated toward Suter, leaving Weber open to blast one of his patented lasers past Budaj.
The shorty had a predictably energizing effect on the Predators, who went on to a 13-t shot advantage in the second period. Budaj held the fort, the PK killed a 5-on-3 and the Canadiens hung in long enough to Max-Pac to follow Josh Gorges as the road trip's OT heroes.
A footnote: the Canadiens got Gorges and the draft choice that became Pacioretty in the 2007 trade that sent Craig Rivet to San Jose.
And Sergei Kostitsyn did nothing for Nashville.

Today I went to a foot doctor and discovered I have overpronated feet and am flat footed. At least that's what I think I have. Basically, more weight is put down on the inside of my feet instead of being evenly distributed. The doctor got a mold of my feet and are going to make a pad for me to put inside my shoes. I've recently been having some pain under my knees when applying pressure on my legs. This only happens after some running. The doctor told me that because my feet are overpronated, my joins in my leg got messed up. Is there a way to fix the pain under my knee? I have been icing it down, but the pain always comes back. Will the padding that the doctor prescribed me help? Will I have to buy overpronated shoes? I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, so all comments are welcome.
Superfeet orange or greens. My feet have a full footprint when wet, meaning no arch whatsoever. I played 3 years of high school football and basketball, 2 years varsity in football, all 3 in basketball. Any arch support is good. Flexing the muscles when resting is better, something you should do 3 times a day, for 15 minutes each day, to force your arch muscle to work. Nothing is free in life. Pain is one payment.
The superfeet insoles look promising. Do the greens actually absorb more shock than the oranges? If so, I would want to get the greens. Thanks for the flexing tip also. If it makes any sense, my feet seem more arched.
I've had moderate success with Superfeet Green and Orange. I've also tried other non-custom and semi-custom orthotics. I've gotten the best results with the Custom Fit orthotic insoles from DS: http://www.footmapping.com/footmapping/home/index.jspa
I'd suggest first using the orthotics prescribed by your doctor and then discuss other alternatives with him if those don't work. It also takes some time to get used to them. If your feet are truly flat, you may find the Superfeet green or orange uncomfortable because they are designed for normal to high arches. The Superfeet blue might fit you better. Try them at an athletic or shoe store before buying.
My feet are completely flat, without a hint of an arch, meaning full footprint when feet are wet. Greens and Oranges are fine, a little too low. PerformanceMaxx are also too low. Birenstock arch supports are too low. All do something, but hardly anything better than no arch support, since flat feet get their arch support from the ground. I have NO arch whatsoever.
you might want to watch these two videos (rebuilding the feet): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha6ZxfG6Tz8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUHEVWtBlac
what they say almost makes sense... However... Just like the face cream commericals for girls, can you really believe them if the models are sub 20 year olds with perfect complextion? Those two guys have really high arches, never had flat feet.
Okay, so what I got from those two videos are to: Create torque by twisting my foot outwards while standing and walking. (Left foot counter clockwise and right foot clockwise?) My calves feel flexed while doing this. Is this right? Try to stand on the balls of your feet for two minutes. Do two to five minutes of jump rope, but don't let your heels touch the ground and keep the neutral position. Make sure that your feet do not collapse or pronate while doing any of this.
yep the corkscrew torque should be outwards like you describe (but no motion of course). Not sure if calves should feel flexed. One of the key points is the idea that you can rebuild the musculature in your foot by engaging in natural barefoot exercises. According to this thinking, orthotics are only a temporary solution, and can actually make things worse by not allowing the foot to develop its own self sufficient structure (although in extreme cases they can be necessary).
Still, the problem here is that BOTH guys shown have really high arches, naturally. And they're telling us how to KEEP the arches, not necessarily develop a arch from flat feet.
I don't know what people with flat feet should do, but I do know that you can strengthen the muscles in your feet by doing stuff barefoot. I live in a beach town, so it isn't unusual to see people in flip-flops or barefoot, especially during the summer. I've been going barefoot as often as I can and trying to get zero-drop flexible shoes except when I'm playing tennis. My feet have gotten considerably stronger and I now understand that my feet do not need arch support. Shoes, to the extent that they are supportive, act like casts, which limits foot movement and allows the muscles to weaken. If you transition to barefoot, you'll feel actual muscle soreness, not injury soreness. Going barefoot cured my PF.
Strange you should post that. I used to run around the beach barefoot from ages 8-13, while my Dad was fishing from shore, me just chugging around, building firepits, and generally checking out the beach for about a mile N and S. I had the flattest feet to start, ended up with flat feet after that. Possibly, it's not possible for someone with high arches to make any kind of judgement or advice for flat feet people. Possibly. Like the example I used. Perfect complexion 17 year old girls selling cream to make your face look younger. It just ain't right. Like those two guys.
