Heard On The Street
Don't feel that you simply must be in the market all the time, but get out occasionally so as to regain your perspective and an unprejudiced view of the situation, especially when the trend is not clear.
Clos Jordanne
Le Clos Jordanne's 2005 Claystone Terrace, an outsider wine has surprised the wine world in what is being dubbed, 'The Judgment of Montreal.' The Société des alcools du Québec invited Quebec's top wine writers and sommeliers, who tend to favor Old World wines, to revisit the historic Judgment of Paris. Le Clos Jordanne participated in a blind tasting held in Quebec, and beat out all the wines from France and the United States. Hats off to Thomas Bachelder!Useful links:

Living Building Challenge sponsored by the Cascadia Region Green Building Council is arguably the most extreme green building rating system in the world. I hope the learning centers in India adopt a similar rating system to cut down on carbon dioxide emissions and save the environment.
