Françoise Peschon
Françoise Peschon was the long-time winemaker for the famous Napa Valley winery Araujo and is now the consulting winemaker for three small, exclusive estates: Cornell, Vine Hill Ranch, and Accendo (the Araujo family's newest project in Napa Valley). Early in Françoise's career, she worked at Château Haut-Brion in Bordeaux. In 2000, Françoise partnered with her neighbor and friend to make their own wine, Drinkward Peschon. Françoise holds an enology degree from the University of California, Davis.
Karen MacNeil interviewed Françoise Peschon for WineSpeed in July 2019.
Karen MacNeil: How did your passion for wine lead you to study enology at UC Davis?
Françoise Peschon: The University of California at Davis was the logical choice for me and the only school I applied to. It was close to where both my parents and horses lived, and I knew I wanted to study enology.
KM: What was the first wine that truly inspired you?
FP: 1979 Château Haut-Brion. I never knew wine could taste like that! It was the ah-ha wine that set my senses on fire. Grace, power, elegance and gravitas united in that bottle.
KM: Did you have a mentor? Tell us about her/him.
FP: I've had the good fortune of having many mentors. From Ann Noble and Roger Boulton at the University of California, Davis; Jean Delmas at Haut-Brion; Michel Rolland and Amigo Bob. But the two who have had the most influence in my winemaking career have been Tony Soter and Mia Klein. Mia introduced me to Tony in 1993, and they hired me to be the on-site winemaker at the Eisele Vineyard. Tony's gentle winemaking approach came from his pinot noir model. What has always stuck with me was his advice to "visualize the wine you want to make and work backwards." Basically, get it right the first time; have a gentle hand. At the end of every blending tasting, he would ask "What wine here is the most Eisele-like in character?" Many consultants adhere to a style of winemaking. Tony's clients all made unique wines from their estate properties. While Tony was more the ethereal consultant, Mia was hands-on, grounded, generous with her time, patient and kind.
"Visualize the wine you want to make and work backwards."
Karen MacNeil: What does your average day look like?
Françoise Peschon: It really depends on the season. That's the beauty of this profession; the work is always different. This time of year, bottling is in the rear-view mirror and I'm starting to do weekly vineyard rounds and prepare for harvest. During harvest, I'm in vineyards every day and splitting my time between wineries and tasting out of tanks every day. Winter is a slower pace, shorter days, reduced adrenaline, and no sense of urgency. In January, its tastings, blendings, budgets and so on….the cycle continues.
KM: If you couldn't make wine in Napa Valley or Bordeaux, where would your next choice be?
FP: I think I'd like to explore a cooler wine growing region and make aromatic whites. Alto Adige, the Mosel, or Willamette Valley of Oregon. Henry Cornell gives me grief for my love of "weird whites" – but these are the wines I always seek out on a wine list and are intriguing to me.
KM: You are a consultant to three important wineries: Cornell, Accendo, and Vine Hill Ranch. How is being a consulting winemaker different from being a regular winemaker?
FP: I'm actually only a consultant to one—Cornell Vineyards. Elizabeth Tangney is the winemaker and I collaborate with her. She is responsible for the day-to-day responsibilities of grape growing and wine making, basically the heavy lifting. We taste together, make blends together and bounce ideas off each other.
At Accendo, I make white wines now—Nigel Kinsman is responsible for the cabernet sauvignon—so I'm not a consultant, but a producer. The same holds true for Vine Hill Ranch. I'm making the wines. This doesn't mean there's a lack of collaboration, though. There is a very strong team in place, and we all taste blends together, but I'm the one doing the work—with some help, of course!
KM: You've often said you like making estate wines. Why?
FP: Once you work for an estate property, there is no going back. It's not only the commitment that the owner, grower and maker share, but it's the beauty of living the full life-cycle of the wine. We are all working together for the same goal. There is continuity and purpose. By contrast, when a grower/crew delivers grapes to a winery, there's both a joy and a sadness—we find joy in that a season's work is almost complete, but unless those responsible for bringing in the fruit get to see the transformation and subsequent success, that is sad to me. There is no bigger joy than to have your vineyard crew follow the fruit from field to winery, taste the wines and feel that pride of ownership.
With Cornell Vineyards specifically, I was attracted to the raw honesty of the place and the people involved. There are 240 acres of mostly untouched, rugged land, rolling hills, oaks, firs, and chaparral surrounding just 20 acres of vineyards planted high on the ridgetops. Considering its elevation, different aspects and exposures, various soils types, Cornell Vineyards has no choice but to make distinctive wines.
The Cornell's commitment to doing things right is unparalleled. Their vision for the property is unique—it's farmed organically by a crew that lives on the property, raising their children, tending their flocks and herds. The estate fosters its own community and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be a part of it.
KM: I'm not going to ask what's your favorite type of wine. But what wine or type of wine do you like the least?
FP: Of course you can ask that question—my final answer is of course cabernet sauvignon! I have a love affair with this variety, clearly. The way it thrives in so many different wine growing regions and takes on the personality of its surroundings without losing itself make it a classic. It's versatile, yet distinctive.
My least favorite—or instead, why don't we say the variety that I continue to fail at—is merlot, although I do love merlots from Bordeaux or Italy. The good news is that we will be planting merlot at Cornell Vineyards and Elizabeth will change my mind! She's that good.
KM: What is it about wine that moves you?
FP: The way a wine has the ability to transport you. If I taste a wine with a tar-y or asphalt character, my mind goes straight to summers in Luxembourg where they are always doing work in the city. The way tasting a specific wine takes you directly to the property and its roots. There are other products with this sense of place or terroir that can transport you this way, like tea, chocolate, and cheese; but wine is my favorite.
KM: How often do you drink your own wine? Are you a harsh critic of wines you've made?
FP: There's not a day that goes by that I don't taste wine, usually from barrel or tank.
I can't say I'm a harsh critic of my own wines because every project is a collaborative effort. For Cornell Vineyards, I work with Elizabeth and the entire team there. For Accendo, I work with the Araujo's, Michel Rolland, and Nigel Kinsman. For Vine Hill Ranch, I work with the Phillips family and their team. I'm prouder of the team and the work we do together, than I am critical of the wines. I don't feel the same joy tasting wine by myself. I love the spirit of collaboration.
KM: In addition to wine, what's your other favorite beverage?
FP: Bubbles and Bourbon (not together).
KM: What do you consider your greatest achievement in life?
FP: My family is my greatest achievement. With respect to my career, I take pride in the relationships I've developed with winemakers and growers and encouraging the next generation of winemakers.

Never understood why anybody cared about the Tonys. Only people who go on vacations to New York watch any of those shows.
There are many millions of New Yorkers and suburbanites who go to the theater. And besides, televising the awards is supposed to encourage you all to come to New York and go to the theater. But as a New Yorker, I resent it when they try to put big movie stars on the Tony Award show, in the interests of getting national audience. They're out of place, unless they live locally, or have careers in the theater as well.

(all?) 17 episodes of the 1968 HANNA-BARBERA ADVENTURES OF BATMAN AND ROBIN CARTOON are on TUBI right now, and I highly recommend them if you're the mood for some delightfully batsh!t late 1960's whimsy.
From the, er, large graphics you've been generous enough to give us 😣 , I first thought it was the hideous 70's Filmation version, but...no, H-B's was just as bad. We even got a crossover New Scooby-Doo Movies episode, which I first thought was the gateway drug.
I'll confess I've been on a roll lately for finding hidden gold on Tubi, though--Thanks to its grungy-low-rent-basement image, it's the first place I go looking for only the most underground and psychotronic, and I even managed to stumble across a copy of The Gong Show Movie that Prime didn't have for free. And the entire Cannon Pictures Fairytales, including the long-lost Amy Irving/Billy Barty Rumpelstiltskin, that had been missing from the MGM-orphan canon for a while now.)
there is an absolutely MASSIVE contingency of THEATER KIDS in AMERICA- I have two nieces who are- and they listen to the soundtracks and they watch clips of the performances on youtube and they STAN the actors- trust me, it's more than a niche. especially since a lot of popular prohects like BEETLEJUICE and MEAN GIRLS got their own musical adaptations. and again, HAMILTON! was more of a NATIONAL phenomenon when it was on the stage than any film since AVATAR.
And like all who grew up watching WPIX-11 upstate during the pre-Koch 70's, some of continue to have faith that Broadway will someday be rescued from its own unions, budgets, gay-community tribalism and corporate-studio investors, and become the Third Wing of American Pop-Culture it once was.
For every fangirl who karaokes "Popular" from Wicked, and thinks the entire world knows who Idina Menzel is, there is one of us who can discuss paragraphs about the Stephen Sondheim/Hal Prince years.

Ah well, that was back before the Disney/Fox deal--Guess most of the Fox shows left Hulu after that, so the Irwin Allen trilogy (Lost in Space, Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants) probably went with them.
Lost in Space is still up there as far as I know.....

PS- I ALSO NOTE that, although recent history has caused me to eat my own words many more times than I'd like, I do not think we will ever, EVER see GLENN CLOSE doin DA BUTT at THE TONYS.
The other day that song was on the radeo in the car on Sirius XM's 80s on 8 station. I didn't stay to listen to it, but I immediately thought of Glenn Close.
Just cued up the famous Ronald Reagan version of "The Killers". He's quite excellent in this movie, makes one think that Warner Brothers screwed up by casting him as generic good guys.
What IS WOR doing, nowadays? Last time I watched it (in said pre-Koch upstate childhood, along with WPIX Chiller/Star Trek and WNEW Wonderama), Joe Franklin was still alive, and UHF stations still existed to cobble together the most random independent programming between Mets games.

I really dislike Netflix, They are operating under sort of a wild wild West code of morals, or complete and utter lack there of. Some of their original programs and acquisitions go toO far.
(ie INSATIABLE, CUTIES, 365 DAYS..)
They are just following the lead it feels of some of the programs FX, HBO, and Showtime once aired, although to me it seems way too over the top in how far they go. I typically only sign up for Netflix one month out of the year, just to see some of their "exclusives" that are up for Oscars, and that's about it. Most of the other films they have don't seem interesting and many of their programs don't seem like things I'd go for. (and one of the few regular network shows they have, Gilmore Girls, is one I have on DVD)
They used to show the first hour on a local station, then two hours on a national station, but I think they gave that up. The Olivier Awards, which are the British equivalent, are now shown on one of the cable channels occasionally, or streamed online.
I think you have a point, though. Theater is more for intellectual, upscale audiences mostly around New York; not for Dogpatch! Maybe they could be streamed for those few in the regions who are interested.

Most of this year's (or should I say last year's) Tony awards will be streamed on Paramount +. I believe I read that only 3 awards will be shown on CBS. The first two hours of awards are on Paramount+. The last 2 hours on CBS is basically a concert staging of production numbers, etc.

not for Dogpatch!
My goodness that's condescending. It's not a matter of the rest of America being too dumb to appreciate theater, it's a matter of the rest of America being literally unable to see the works that compete in the Tonys. Grammys, Emmys, Oscars--people have a chance to see that work. Unless there's a movie, the only people who will see "The Ferryman" are New Yorkers.
I watched Double Wedding last night on TCM; This was the only William Powell \ Myrna Loy film I had not seen. It had it moments but I found it to be only OK. Of course how much the sudden death of Jean Harlow, who was Powell's fiancée and Loy's close friend, had on the two appears to have impacted the film (based on their own comments).
My view was that the Powell character was all-over-the-place; yes, he is a free spirited bohemian but then he would sometimes change persona into the type of sophisticated gentleman Powell screen persona. In some ways this was necessary to ground the character, but it just didn't work for me. The Loy character just lacked charm. The character was a no-nonsense harden gal and we often find such a female character in these type of romantic comedies but at some point (say halfway), they lighten up. The Loy character never does that even at the end. (The Shop Around the Corner is a good example of the type of female character that does tone-it-down as the plot moves forward).
Some of the screwball comedy scenes worked but others fell flat.
Still it was great for TCM to feature Florence Rice last night. She made some good films during her fairly short film career.
I saw The Ferryman in London, it was brilliant. Some of the plays/musicals may actually travel to other parts of the USA, on tour. I believe a tour was planned for The Ferryman, to fourteen cities in the US and Canada, but Covid intervened.
Some people watch award shows without having seen (or heard) any of the nominees. I don't watch the Oscars as regularly as I used to, but I watched most of the show this year, without having seen (or wanting to see) any of the movies. There are young people all over this country who dream of going to the theater, and sometimes the Tony Awards show brings them closer to that dream. And it is after all history and education as well as, one hopes, entertainment.
And I never said that the residents of Dogpatch are dumb, But, to continue in a condescending vein, I wonder if, wherever you are, you have a thing called a "remote." It has buttons on it. If anyone doesn't want to watch the Tony Awards, they can press some of the buttons, and other programs will appear! 😊

OK, I found "Dogpatch" to be kind of condescending too, but didn't take it to mean any more than "rural". I see the Tonys as awarding & recognizing achievements in Theater. While the Heart of US Theater is "Broadway" (meaning NYC) if a show is popular, it may travel outside NYC- or better, creates a travel destination.
Most mid size US cities have Rep Theaters that perform plays with local talent that draw an audience from rural Dogpatch. Large Cities like Chicago & LA often stage long running full productions with major stars. For decades a big birthday/holiday gift was enjoying a "Phantom Weekend" in Toronto, a 5 hour drive.
Any time any of the performing arts are recognized & lauded by their peers, its a plus.

From the last few days:
Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) Liked it better than Waititi's Jojo Rabbit which I thought got old very fast, and the humor here reminded me of another NZ comedy (although a TV series), Flight of the Conchords. I guess Waititi has worked with the Conchords on projects, so that makes sense. Liked it.
Possessed (1947) On Noir Alley. Didn't go in the direction I thought would go. Liked it.
Roger and Me (1989) A film from back when I liked Moore. We studied this film in film school and basically learned how Moore manipulated audiences to create propaganda instead of true documentaries. The example I use from this film is cross-editing the GM holiday party with people being evicted from their houses on Christmas when the people being evicted either had never worked for GM or hadn't worked there for years and only for a short time. Still, I enjoyed this film upon first viewing and I can't help thinking with every Moore film that features Flint, MI that that city just can't catch a break and not sure how it survives.
Some Came Running (1958) The first collaboration between Sinatra and Dino. Maybe it was the wine I was drinking at the time, but I struggled to follow and had to read the wikipedia page before the film ended to get the plot straight.
East Side, West Side (1949) Thought the cast was great and liked it.
A Quiet Place (2018) F/X On Demand-7/10
A family is hunted by strange creatures who are attracted by loud noises.
This is a tense little horror film, very well directed. It takes place for the most part in a beautiful, pastoral setting. It has a short running time (87 min) which is a plus since if it was any longer it would not work. The dialogue is minimal since the family's life depends on being quiet. Emily Blunt and John Krasinski (he also directed) are very good as the parents. But the outstanding one here is Millicent Simmonds as their deaf daughter. She is also deaf in real life, she has a great porcelain doll-like face and very expressive eyes. She also appeared in the 2017 Todd Haynes film Wonderstruck, which is also worth seeking out.

I remember when Koch first sold the idea that tourism would help rescue NYC. (A city then literally synonymous with "Mugging", and you never heard one word in a sentence without the other.)
The secret to getting people from outside to change their travel destinations and say I ❤ N Y?: The Broadway shows that were experiencing a late-70's renaissance at the time, with Annie, A Chorus Line, and Frank Langella's Dracula. Maybe you recall the ads at the time--
The Tonys have a lot of industry categories to hand out, and usually don't televise Best Lighting in a Play (and the tech people in the local stage community hugging each other for their team effort...it's like a big family!), but you can be sure the Best Musical excerpts get full national network coverage.
Ventured into HBO territory and, typical for me, picked a little early 90s film instead of the biggest and newest. Said film was 1991's Mystery Date, a twisty little teen comedy with attitude, a mixture somewhere between Adventures in Babysitting and After Hours, as hard as that might be to believe. Ethan Hawke played a very shy teenager who had a crush on Teri Polo from afar but had never asked her out. His older brother sets a date up, and proceeds to make Hawke look a lot like himself. only the date doesn't go as planned as the night quickly changes its mood to being one of panic, mayhem, and plenty of intrigue. This is the type of little film that might not be saying anything deep, but its a lot of fun due to the sheer roller-coaster nature of it all, plus appealing performances from the leads on this date night that goes so terribly wrong.
I watched East Side, West Side last night for the 2nd time and was glad I did. The film has a fine cast with first rate, experienced actors like Barbara Stanwyck and Van Heflin, new to Hollywood actor James Mason, and fairly new actresses Ava Gardner and Cyd Charisse.
The film is a very mature and frank portrayal of a man (Mason), who has a mistress (Gardner) who also plays the field, a wife that loves him as well as supports him (Stanwyck), and a man, who was a former cop, that steps into the drama (Heflin), who falls for Stanwyck. All in a well filmed New York setting. The film is mostly a melodrama but it does take an interesting turn with a murder. The film is fairly open about sexuality especially for a 1949 film.
If you haven't seen the film I highly recommend it.

A Quiet Place (2018)
I saw A Quiet Place II last weekend in the movie theater. The film begins with a glimpse of the day that the aliens arrive disrupting life in the idyllic small town. The noise and chaos of the people's reaction to the invasion is a nice contrast to the oppressive silence that follows. The rest of the film takes place right where the first one left off. This time the family is on the move. Cillian Murphy is quiet good as a new character who enters the family's lives. He and Millicent Simmonds are thrown together and their scenes are the most compelling. The plot is basically the same: Defeating the aliens and surviving by keeping quiet. Certainly watchable but not nearly as entertaining as the first. The ending was not a surprise and felt more like an unsatisfying to-be-continued. The couple next to us in the theater even asked the usher if there was another scene after the credits.
I read that A Quiet Place III is on the way in 2023. The article said it will be "a spin-off more than a sequel." Not quite sure what that means but it sounds like they might drag this out even longer. It may be one of those ideas that should have stayed just one movie. John Krasinski is handing over the writing and directing duties to Jeff Nichols for the third one. Nichols wrote and directed 2011's Take Shelter with Michael Shannon.
I meant the original series. I was fond of it.

I have an issue with some virtual gentoo machines running on vmware esxi 5.1 using newer kernels.
I run i.e icinga on these vms which sends and receives a lot of small network packets as I think.
As you can see I have 545 dropped RX packets and this VM is only running for about 5 minutes.
This number increases every minute. After some days I have millions of them.
interface or vmxnet3. It's the same behavior on both of them.
Looks like this is with kernels greater 3.2 On machines using old 2.6 kernels I do not have this issue.
I also have a ubuntu vm using 3.2.0.29 kernel which also drops packages but there I have only about 5600 over 239 days uptime and that I think may be normal.
Another suse sles11 with kernel 2.6.27.19-5-default does not drop any packet.
But this does not change anything. I also can not see dropped packets on the virtual or any physical switch.
Would be great if anyone out there could give me a hint how to fix this.
So dropped packets can take quite some debugging, but you may want to try experimenting with the net.core.netdev_max_backlog sysctl setting - try bumping it up and see if this has any impact. It may also require net.core.rmem_max/net.core.wmem_max to be increased too.
I also tried to adjust settings recommended here http://gnet.soe.ucsc.edu/doku.php?id=tcptuning and here http://www.speedguide.net/articles/linux-tweaking-121.
Unfortunately this does not have any effect.
isn't there anything new that can help?

European NAP: Capital gains for Old Lady
By Mark O'Haire on	 Jan 14, 2019 European Football, Italian Football Tips, Tips
EUROPEAN football fanatic Mark O'Haire (@MarkOHaire) is heading to Italy on Sunday night for his next best bet from across the continent.
Lazio v Juventus | Sunday 27th January 2019, 19:30 | Eleven Sports
Juventus barely slipped out of first gear as they strolled to a cruisy 3-0 success over rock-bottom Chievo on Monday night and the Old Lady can enhance their phenomenal 2018/19 Serie A record with victory on Monday night in the Italian capital.
The Bianconeri boast an unblemished W18-D2-L0 return from their first 20 league outings this term, a sample that includes triumphs in all five meetings with top-six rivals. Max Allegri's men are already nine points clear of the pack and are heading towards an eight consecutive Serie A crown.
Juve's Monday night success came despite Cristiano Ronaldo missing a penalty, and second-top scorer Mario Mandzukic joining Miralem Pjanic and Sami Khedira on the treatment table. It was only the fifth time in the league this season that the Turin giants had scored three or more goals but their dominance of the division is unquestionable.
The Old Lady are enjoying a 77% Expected Goals from open play ratio – giving up just 0.30 xG from open play per-game – whilst the all-conquering table-toppers are conceded just four attempts from inside the penalty area on average per-game. So it's no surprise to see Juventus have conceded only 11 Serie A goals across the campaign as a whole.
On paper, Sunday night's trip to Rome could be considered trappy but Juve have made light work of Lazio in recent seasons. The Bianconeri have won nine of their last 11 encounters with the capital club – silencing the Biancocelesti on nine occasions – as well as winning on each of their last five visits to the Stadio Olimpico across all competitions.
Lazio lost at Napoli last time out 2-1. The Biancocelesti saw their woodwork hit four times in that fixture as they fell to another reverse against the elite in Serie A. Remarkably, the Eagles have now come away empty-handed in 10 of 13 winless meetings with top-six teams of late, including five of six such showdowns in 2018/19.
Simone Inzaghi's side have been beaten in five of seven such fixtures with Italy's leading lights here, and have recently fallen out of the top-four following a W2-D5-L2 return from their most recent nine outings. What's more, Lazio will be without centre-half mainstay Francesco Acerbi, and with Luiz Felipe also unavailable, options are limited in defence.
The hosts convincingly trail behind Juve in the majority of major performance data markers and are easily opposed at the prices. Therefore, supporting Juventus to win at 10/11 (Bet365) is my European NAP this weekend.

Thermal dispersion flow switch is a precise flow sensing device, which uses heat diffusion principle. The probe consists of two temperature sensors. One sensor measures the temperature of the fluid where the probe is immersed. The other sensor is heated at a constant power. This creates a temperature difference between the two sensors. Temperature difference is inversely proportional to the flow velocity. The probe and housing are made by stainless steel or engineering plastic. Since the device has no moving parts, therefore there is no wear and tear problem.
The flowing media engages a vaned rotor causing it to rotate at an angular velocity proportional to flow rate. The pick-up coil senses the spinning motion of the rotor inserted in the pipe & converts it into a pulsating electrical signal. Summation of the pulsating electrical signal is directly related to the total flow. The frequency is linearly proportional to flow rate which is converted to mA signal by electronic circuitry.
FleetLog is Fluidynes unique innovation for measuring and improving vehicle Efficiency ( Mileage ). Apart from enlightening the Fleet owner on the actual consumption of diesel and the correct distance travelled to curb pilferage of diesel, the system analyses the drivers driving habit which affects the mileage and monitors overspeeding to promote safe driving. The system focuses on training the driver to drive efficiently and safely to achieve the best possible mileage.
Electronet's FL - 600 series of Flow Indicator is used to monitor corrected flow with the help of Pressure & Temperature Compensation. Flow rate is processed linearly or Square rooted according to requirement.10point linearisation is available in case of nonlinear input. Flow rate is indicated on 4 digit & Totalised flow is indicated on 8 digit display. Three modes of operation i.e. normal, batch & monthly are provided The built in battery back up is provided for the memory to avoid loss of data in case of power failure. Microcontroller based design with full flexilibility is provided for flow metering applications .optional high/low relays are available on request.
The Fuel Consumption Monitor is compact fuel flow measuring system suitable for monitoring the net fuel consumption of stationary equipment like engines, gensets, pumpsets, compressors etc. after accounting for the return fuel from the engine. The unit is provided with a self powered Flow Indicator which ensures accuracy with a variety of fuels under all operating conditions.
The flowing media engages a vaned rotor causing it to rotate at an angular velocity proportional to flow rate. The pick-up coil senses the spinning motion of the rotor inside the pipe & converts it into a pulsating electrical signal. Summation of the pulsating electrical signal is directly related to the total flow. The frequency is linearly proportional to flow rate which is converted to mA signal by electronic circuitry.

Industry sources last week revealed that music mogul Jimmy Iovine is planning to leave Apple this summer. Iovine, if you recall, joined the Cupertino-based company in mid-2014 alongside music producer and rapper Dr. Dre as part of its $3 billion acquisition of Beats Electronics.
The music veteran has since shot down those rumors.
In a recent statement to Variety, Iovine said he is almost 65, has been with Apple for four years and in two-and-a-half years, Apple Music has gotten to well over 30 million subscribers. But, Iovine added, there's still a lot more they'd like to do [with Apple Music]. The executive said he is committed to doing whatever Eddy Cue, Tim Cook and Apple need him to do to take the service all the way.
"I am in the band," Iovine said.

On April 19, 2017, the House Financial Services Committee Chair Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) released a revised version of his Financial CHOICE Act. The bill would revise or repeal much of the Dodd-Frank Act.
Sec. 411 which would exempt emerging growth companies (EGCs) from having to use XBRL for financial statements and other periodic reporting required to be filed with the SEC under the securities laws. Issuers with total annual gross revenues of less than $250 million would be temporarily exempt.
Sec. 441 which would amend Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to temporarily exempt EGCs and low-revenue issuers under certain conditions.
Sec. 482 which would require proxy advisory firms to register with the SEC and to file, at intervals determined by the SEC, such financial statements, certified (if required by the SEC) by an independent public auditor, as the SEC may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors.
Sec. 832 which would require the PCAOB to make available any information requested by the House Financial Services Committee or Senate Banking Committee. Confidential or privileged information would remain confidential and privileged.
Sec. 833 which would abolish the PCAOB's Investor Advisory Group.
Sec. 847 which would amend Section 404(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to exempt issuers with a market capitalization of less than $500 million, and issuers that are depository institutions with assets of less than $1 billion, from an internal control evaluation as prescribed by Section 404(b).

Marion is a city in Linn County, Iowa with hundreds of registered stock and commodities brokerage firms and investment advisory offices. With so many brokerage firms comes the potential for stockbrokers, financial advisors, and representatives who may engage in conduct which violates securities and commodities industry rules and procedures.
For example, (FINRA) has fined and suspended Karen Lee Chafe, a former Berthel, Fisher & Co. Financial Services, Inc. representative, for admitting to altering customers' variable annuity withdrawal forms and IRA distribution/withdrawal request forms. According to FINRA, Karen Chafe, a/k/a Karen Lee Linscott, modified and resubmitted withdrawal request forms at least 61 times on behalf of 14 customers. According to FINRA's Default Judgment, Karen Chafe reused old customer forms, whited out or obscured existing information, added new information, and then submitted the altered forms as originals to Berthel Fisher over a period of six years. Although Karen Chafe was authorized to make the withdrawals and distributions, she did not have the customers' authorization to submit altered forms. Karen Chafe has been assessed a deferred fine of $5,000.00 and suspended from associating with any FINRA member in any capacity for a year.

Le port de la Fumée appelé aussi embarcadère de la Fumée est le principal port maritime de Fouras, situé au cœur du littoral de la Charente-Maritime, assurant des liaisons maritimes toute l'année avec l'île d'Aix grâce à deux bacs, "L'Ile d'Aix II" et le "Pierre Loti", et des excursions saisonnières autour de Fort Boyard. C'est le troisième port de voyageurs de la côte charentaise après le Port de Royan et celui de La Rochelle.

Il fait également office de zone de mouillage pour des barges d'ostréiculteurs locaux et également de mouillage temporaire pour des bateaux de plaisance pendant la saison estivale.

Description géographique du site portuaire
Situé au nord-ouest de la station balnéaire de Fouras, le port de la Fumée est l'un des trois ports de Fouras avec le Port Nord situé dans l'anse de Fouras avec à proximité d'une école de voile et le Port Sud situé dans l'estuaire de la Charente qui est une jetée en maçonnerie pour la plaisance. L'embarcadère est établi sur la pointe de l'extrême nord de la presqu'île de la Fumée, de la pointe de l'Aiguille terminant la pointe de la Fumée, qui est une presqu'île longue de trois kilomètres.

Le site portuaire de la Fumée est constitué d'une jetée d'accès aux deux bacs transbordeurs qui assurent toute l'année depuis 1933 la liaison maritime Fouras - île d'Aix. Cet embarcadère-débarcadère était à l'origine une jetée maçonnée longue de cent mètres environ et large de deux mètres, elle avait été construite en 1874-1875. L'extrémité de la jetée se signalait par une balise à triangle blanc montée sur une tourette métallique.
Le site appartenant aujourd'hui au conseil départemental a été modernisé et agrandi au fil du temps avec surtout l'augmentation de la longueur de la jetée (+  dans la direction Nord/Est), de la largeur et la construction d'une cale de mise à l'eau pour petites embarcations. Les travaux ont été exécutés au fur et à mesure du temps et les derniers datent de 1990.

Si ce port est peu pratique à cause des rochers environnants sur la partie Ouest, il a cependant l'avantage d'être constamment accessible pour les petites embarcations grâce à l'augmentation de la longueur du quai, même à marée basse avec environ  de profondeur au bout du quai. Il est aménagé et réservé prioritairement pour l'accostage des deux bacs assurant la liaison maritime avec l'île d'Aix.
Le port de la Fumée dans sa partie vers l'Est sert de zone de mouillages forains qui peut accueillir jusqu'à 61 unités pendant la haute saison sur des bouées de corps-mort. Ses eaux un peu plus profondes lui permettent un accostage moins tributaire des heures de marée. Mais les services à la disposition des plaisanciers sont extrêmement sommaires et se limitent seulement à la cale de mise à l'eau.

Historique de la liaison maritime Fouras-Île-d'Aix

Des liaisons sporadiques jusqu'en 1933
Jusqu'en 1883, il n'existait pas de véritable liaison maritime entre Fouras et l'île d'Aix bien qu'. Si jusqu'en 1883, le site de la Fumée servait déjà d'embarcadère et de débarcadère pour assurer des relations entre l'île d'Aix et le continent - que les habitants de cette petite île appelaient la Grande Terre-, le service maritime était quasi inexistant, seul un  devait être effectué par les « barques fourasines » qui en assuraient la liaison au moyen de chaloupes.

Jusqu'en 1835, l'embarquement pour les habitants autres que militaires se faisait en canot.

Il fallut attendre l'année 1875 pour que le site de la Fumée soit aménagé avec construction d'une jetée maçonnée de  de longueur afin de permettre une liaison maritime avec l'île d'Aix mais elle ne prit pas de véritable essor. La municipalité de Fouras avait même envisagé d'étendre le site portuaire de la Fumée en y creusant un bassin et en annexant le fort Énet afin d'en faire un port en eau profonde qui aurait servi de site d'escale pour les transatlantiques et un port-abri pour les vaisseaux militaires qui auraient bénéficié d'. Le projet fut adopté par la municipalité en 1879 mais n'aboutit jamais rencontrant beaucoup de résistance, notamment des notables de La Rochelle qui, l'année suivante, firent creuser le port de La Pallice.

En 1883, lorsque la voie ferrée fut prolongée entre la gare de Fouras et l'extrémité nord de la pointe de la Fumée, apparut véritablement les premières liaisons touristiques et saisonnières avec l'île d'Aix et aussi avec l'île d'Oléron.

En 1892, le port de la Fumée fut électrifié en étant pourvu d'un système d'éclairage installé sur une tourelle à l'extrémité du quai au Nord pour signaler sa présence et conforter la défense des côtes. Des logements pour les gardiens du site furent édifiés.

Malgré ces améliorations techniques, le port de la Fumée n'avait qu'une utilisation saisonnière qui battait son plein au cœur de l'été tandis que les besoins pour les servitudes militaires s'amenuisaient. Chaque été, en juillet et en août, des convois de voyageurs amenés par des trains stoppaient et animaient la pointe de la Fumée jusqu'à la fin de l'été 1914.

Il fallut attendre l'année 1928 pour qu'une liaison maritime entre le continent et l'île d'Aix soit envisagée de manière permanente.

L'instauration de la liaison maritime permanente Fouras-Île-d'Aix depuis 1933
C'est sous l'impulsion du baron Napoléon Gourgaud (1881-1944) alors bienfaiteur de l'Île d'Aix, qu'est créée en  une première desserte par bateau motorisé entre le port de la Fumée et l'île d'Aix. La même année, la jetée du port de la Fumée est reconstruite après avoir été abandonnée durant la Première Guerre mondiale, ceci aussi afin de pouvoir recevoir le président du Conseil Édouard Herriot lors de son déplacement dans l'île d'Aix en septembre de la même année.

Mais ce n'est qu'en 1933 que la liaison maritime entre l'île d'Aix et Fouras est instaurée de manière permanente grâce à la création de la « Compagnie Maritime Charentaise » de l'armement Alphonse Viacrose .
Après plusieurs embarcations utilisées au fil du temps, La vedette "Patrie II" est mise en service en 1938 et sera le seul bateau en service pendant toute la durée de la guerre.

Jamais interrompue pendant les sombres années de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale malgré les dangers, mines, fusains, souvent réquisitionnée par l'armée d'occupation, la liaison maritime reprend officiellement du service au lendemain des hostilités et, en 1948, un deuxième bateau, « L'Aiglon », vient doubler la fréquence des liaisons.

En , la « Compagnie Maritime Charentaise » d'Alphonse Viacroze est rachetée par la « Régie Départementale des Passages d'Eaux », gérée directement par le conseil général de la Charente-Maritime, qui reprend les deux vedettes en service "Le Patrie II" et "L'Aiglon" et plus tard décide de moderniser la flotte en faisant construire une vedette en acier : "Le Roi de Rome" par les "Chantiers et Ateliers de La Perrière" à Lorient, le bateau est mis en service en .

Dix ans plus tard avec les problèmes de chargement et de déchargement à la main des marchandises et des matériaux sur "le Patrie II", un bac "l'Ile d'Aix" est construit à La Pallice par les "A.C.R.P", et mis en service en . Il permet un approvisionnement direct par camion sans manutentions avec une capacité de transport de deux camions de .

Depuis 1992, deux bacs transbordeurs de plus grande capacité assurent donc les liaisons maritimes permanentes au départ de Fouras. Venant épauler le premier bac "Ile d'Aix" réformé en 2011 et démoli, un deuxième bac, le « Pierre Loti », fut construit par les Chantiers Navals du Ponant de La Pallice et mis en service en 1992.
Depuis  un nouveau bac "Ile d'Aix II" est venu épauler le "Pierre Loti" à la belle saison.

En 1993, la « Régie Départementale des Passages d'Eaux » ayant été dissoute à la suite de la réalisation et la mise en service du « Pont de l'île de Ré », elle est relayée par la « Société Fouras-Aix », créée par le conseil régional avec une participation du groupe Véolia, dans le cadre d'une délégation de service public du conseil départemental, dont l'affermage durera jusqu'en 2023.

Le troisième port de voyageurs du littoral charentais
Port maritime depuis 1933, le port de la Fumée a vu son trafic voyageurs croître fortement avec la démocratisation des loisirs.

Les liaisons maritimes Aller-Retour entre Fouras et l'île d'Aix suivant les marées, se font cinq fois par jour en moyenne en hiver avec un seul bac, et une vingtaine de fois avec l'emploi des deux bacs chaque été. La durée de la traversée est en moyenne de vingt à vingt-cinq minutes pour une distance moyenne de six kilomètres, car suivant la hauteur de marée, la route suivie entre le continent et l'île est différente. Plus de  sont assurées chaque année.

Depuis 1992, sa flottille s'est modernisée avec la mise en service du "Pierre Loti" et sa capacité de transport s'est beaucoup accrue. Le dernier bac "L'île d'Aix II" est venu renforcer la flotte le . Il a une capacité d'accueil de 300 passagers sur deux ponts, le pont principal avec des toilettes et une grande cabine fermée sur l'arrière et au-dessus un pont ouvert avec rambarde et garde-corps.

Environ  transitent chaque année entre le port de la Fumée et l'île d'Aix qui ont pour origines : les insulaires, les propriétaires de résidences secondaires, et les touristes de passages en vacances dans la région dont une part très importante pendant la saison touristique. Ce qui classe ce port maritime au troisième rang départemental après le port de Royan (plus de ) et celui de La Rochelle (environ ).

Les deux bacs assurent aussi le transport de  et  chaque année. Toutefois seul l'accès est réservé aux véhicules de transports et d'approvisionnements en matériaux et marchandises de toutes sortes, camions, camionnettes de livraisons, voitures particulières (exceptionnellement pour déménagements). Tous doivent présenter au capitaine du bac une autorisation écrite délivrée par le maire de l'Ile d'Aix. C'est ainsi que tous les approvisionnements se font par camionnettes et camions avec une longueur limité à .

Par ailleurs, un service saisonnier au départ du port de la Fumée est assuré par une petite société locale, Les Croisières fourasines. Cette dernière propose tous les jours chaque été une excursion maritime autour du célèbre fort Boyard.

Top 100 UK carbon emitters named as warning to investors

The oil company is responsible for 23% of all emissions from FTSE 100 companies, closely followed by BP and Scottish Power who account for 17% each, while the Corus Group and BHP Billiton are responsible for 6% and 4% respectively.
The results are revealed in a report, The Carbon 100, published by Henderson Global Investors using research from consultancy Trucost, which evaluates the total carbon emissions of the FTSE 100.
It shows that just five sectors – oil & gas, electricity, mining, steel and leisure – generate 85% of direct carbon emissions despite accounting for only 29% of market capitalisation.
In total, direct global carbon emissions from the UK's 100 largest companies amounted to 480 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent – about 73% of the UK total. This is equivalent to 1.6% of the global total of greenhouse gas emissions. The UK was responsible for 2.2% of the global total, but FTSE100 firms have a larger effect due to the global nature of their businesses.
In addition, carbon dioxide emissions from the products sold by five UK oil and mining companies account for over 10% of total global emissions.
The report calls for improved disclosure from companies about their emissions so that investors can make more informed decisions. At present less than half of the FTSE 100 disclose their carbon emissions.
"Henderson is one of the first investors to look at the risks posed to companies by carbon constraints," said Simon Thomas, chief executive of Trucost. "Trucost's quantitative, comparable data enables them to better understand these risks. By using quantitative metrics, The Carbon 100 demonstrates the financial significance of carbon emissions to the FTSE100."
Nick Robins, Head of SRI Funds at Henderson added: "The new operating and financial review reporting requirements provide an important opportunity for companies to make the linkages between climate change and core value drivers."
However, given the lack of current disclosure and the difficulties in finding out how much CO2 equivalent companies produce, not just directly but across the supply chain, the immediate chances for investors to make a truly informed decision look slim.

I like all motorbikes or motorcycles, and I've done thousands of miles in them. One of the most charismatic is the Harley-Davidson.
Harley-Davidson Inc, often abbreviated H-D or Harley, is an American motorcycle manufacturer. Founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during the first decade of the 20th century, it was one of two major American motorcycle manufacturers (Indian being the other) to survive the Great Depression. Harley-Davidson also survived a period of poor quality control and competition from Japanese manufacturers.
From 1977 to 2014 the only motorcycles sold to the public under the Harley-Davidson brand were heavyweight cruiser motorcycles, with engine displacements greater than 700 cc. Harley-Davidson motorcycles, or "Harleys", are noted for the tradition of heavy customization that gave rise to the chopper style of motorcycle. Except for the modern VRSC and Street model families, current Harley-Davidson motorcycles reflect the styles of classic Harley designs. While Harley-Davidson's attempts to establish itself in the light motorcycle market have met little success and have largely been abandoned since the 1978 sale of its Italian Aermacchi subsidiary, the company re-entered the middleweight market in 2015 with its Street series of motorcycles.

Balkrishna Tyres - Encashes Volumes Business
Partha Pratim Basistha
BKT is one of the world's leading manufacturers of off-highway tyres having the widest product range, strengthened by more than 2000 SKU's (Stock Keeping Units). Established in 1988, BKT (Balkrishna Tyres), entered into the production of cross ply off-highway tyres in 1995. Exports contribute to 94% of BKT's sales while the rest is contributed from domestic sales. BKT has overseas offices in USA and Italy.
According to Mr. Arvind Poddar, Vice-Chairman & MD, BKT "we have targeted to achieve a 10% share in off-highway tyre solutions by 2015 in the global market. Achieving the set target will boost BKT's sales to $1300 million. We are confident of achieving our target, with the increasing demand from the export market, with around 86% of the requirement coming from the replacement segment and rest from the original equipment manufacturers."
BKT exports it's off-highway tyres to more than 130 countries wherein its 48% sales come from the European markets, 24% from US, and 28% from other markets including India.
BKT is working on its backward and forward integration to facilitate its ambitious growth plans. The backward integrations are being done by increasing its existing production capacities and also by setting up new production facilities. Its forward integration is being implemented by strengthening supply chain, linked to production, for onward movement of the finished products. Value addition in marketing is being done through better product offerings in the off-highway value chain and through a robust research and development support.
Chopanki Plant Calendaring Machine
Providing details of the market expansion, Mr. Poddar says, "Our new upcoming facility at Bhuj, which is spread over an area of 300 acres, with a capital investment of $365 million will support 80% of our capacity expansion. We are confident of attaining 100% capacity utilization by 2014. The new plant will produce 1,20,000 Metric tonnes per annum of mixed production comprising radials, bias tyres, large OTR's and agri tyres. The plant will score on logistics advantage, by providing lesser lead times, being located close to important export gateway ports in Gujarat state. With most of the major machinery for the new plant at Bhuj already into the commissioning mode, part of the plant has already started producing tubes from December 2011. With the full range of tubes going to be available for various off-highway tyres, the plant will serve regular requirements of our distribution partners."
Curing Inspection-finish
Mr. Poddar says, "For capacity addition, we will also bank on our facilities at Chopanki and our earliest unit at Bhiwadi in Rajasthan. Besides, capacity expansion will also be helped by our Waluj-Aurangabad facility. The expansion process of the existing units is likely to be completed by August this year." Post expansion capacities of existing units will be 1,67,000 MT by end of 2012 from 1,20,000 MT at present. Supported by the upcoming Bhuj facility, BKT's total capacity is expected to be 2,70,000 MT by 2014.
Meeting Volume Demand
The ability of BKT to meet high volume demand is supported by its large unit which has a capacity of producing 150 tyres of various sizes. The company offers tyres in various weights starting from less than 2 kg to 1700 kg along with different rim sizes in the range of 5-54 inches. The nature of tyres comprises conventional variant of cross plytyres to the advanced polyester radials, all steel OTR radials, aramide–belted run flat for defence applications tyres. Mr. Poddar points out"Our extensive market presence is backed by our ability to deliver multi-varied product offerings across the off-highway segment."
Xray Machine
The ability to provide wide range of tyres is based on "flexible" production process adopted by the company. "High and varied production output is facilitated through a manufacturingprocess that allows frequent changes of moulds." Eight to ten moulds are changed every day in our plants based on the requirement of the tyres to be produced. Production flexibility is supported by our prompt R&D team in producing the required tyre variant within a span of 10-12 weeks. The planned product development support allows us to produce more than 160 new customized variants every year.
Moulds are one of the major constituents for production of tyres. It givestyres the desired finish and shape based on applications. To have competitive product positioning through its tyres, BKT has recently started its new mould plant at Dombivali, near Mumbai. According to Mr. Poddar, "The new plant would double our capacity to produce high quality moulds, offering better finish, with the help of state-of-the-art machines. The mould manufacturing plant will play an important role in rolling out tyres from our Bhuj plant, since timely mould availability is a major requisite in the tyre manufacturing process."
According to Mr. Poddar, "Market expansion of BKT will come from its captive customers, led by marketing and technical support from its channel partners. Having enjoyed presence in international markets, BKT will keep focusing on the same in future. The presence in domestic market will continue to be mediocre." However,"Given the strategy of its global OEM customers, many of those having presence in India or are planning to have so by promoting of second-hand equipment, BKT may look for an increased focus at home. However, in that case, Mr. Poddar points out that "Sales and support for the tyres will be taken up by our channel partners and distributors."

Merge SEC and CFTC, says former SEC commissioner
Peter Madigan
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) should be merged into a single entity to consolidate futures and securities regulation in the US, a former SEC commissioner argued yesterday.
Speaking in a panel discussion at the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (Sifma) market structure conference in New York on May 20, former SEC commissioner Annette Nazareth lamented that regulators are forgoing an opportunity to consolidate supervisory bodies with overlapping jurisdictions. Nazareth is now a partner at law firm Davis Polk in Washington, DC, and served as director of market regulation at the SEC between 1998 and 2005 and as an SEC commissioner from 2005 to 2008.
"If ever there was a time we should be able to make really far-reaching reforms, then it should be now. So it is very troubling to see that a merger between the SEC and CFTC is pretty much off the table for a year or two – which means it will be off the table for decades. There is absolutely no logic for that," she said. "We are the only country in the world that separates futures regulation from securities regulation. It was probably a mistake when it was done and now is really the time to consolidate it."
Nazareth's comments were echoed by Alan Beller, a partner at law firm Cleary Gottlieb in New York and a former director of corporation finance at the SEC. "From a policy point of view, there is no good reason to have the two agencies separate, and my own view is not only should the SEC and the CFTC be under one roof but also the combined agency ought to have broader jurisdiction over financial products generally. I can't think of a good reason other than political difficulty to not have regulatory consolidation, but I am very pessimistic it will happen," he said.
While supervisory authority for commodity futures, options and derivatives clearing organisations lies with the CFTC, the SEC has oversight of clearing agencies and securities markets. This has led to uncertainty in the past over whether regulation of derivatives markets lies exclusively with one regulator, both or neither.
Derivatives dealers have argued that contracts such as credit default swaps are exempt from regulation by either party, as they are negotiated and traded between 'sophisticated parties' and so are excluded from regulation by the CFTC under Section 2(g) of the Commodity Exchange Act and by the SEC under Section 206A of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
For derivatives to be fully regulated under a combined SEC-CFTC, one of the congressional committees overseeing the two agencies – the House Committee on Financial Services or the House Committee on Agriculture – would have to agree to surrender its authority as supervisor of the new consolidated entity, another major impediment to consolidation.
"The problem is it would be extraordinarily difficult to do because congressional committees simply don't vote to reduce their jurisdiction," said Beller.
The panel bemoaned the "nonsensical alphabet soup" of maintaining four separate banking regulators and advocated not only merging the SEC and CFTC, but also consolidating the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). However, Nazareth warned political necessities could lead to the creation of a fifth banking supervisor in the form of a 'systemic risk regulator' proposed by Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner.
"The OCC and the OTS do seem to be the lowest of the low-hanging fruit but I'm not convinced they will be [consolidated] in the first round of changes. That would be very positive if they were. If we were to create another regulator that really would be ill-advised and although it doesn't seem believable, it is actually possible in this political environment we could end up with more regulators. It's almost preposterous," Nazareth noted.

In manufacturing it is not so much a triple dip recession – more a prolonged double dip. Manufacturing output is 2.1 per cent lower in October 2012 compared with October 2011; Source: ONS Looking at data since 2007, we see a similar pattern to GDP.
