Sarkozy: Toulouse slayings caused 9/11-like trauma

By NBC News, msnbc.com staff and news services

French police commandos arrested 19 people and seized weapons in Friday morning swoops on people suspected of radical Islamist activity, in several cities including Toulouse, scene of the killings of four Jews and three soldiers this month.

President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is waging an uphill battle for re-election in an April-May vote, said more such raids would follow.

---

Sarkozy said in an interview with journalists that?the trauma of the?Toulouse shooting was "very deep in our country," NBC News reported.

He said it was?"a bit?-- I don't want to compare the horrors --?a bit like the trauma that followed in the U.S. and New York after 9?11."

"We cannot leave it without making any conclusions. The Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Foreign Affairs have taken the decision to forbid a certain number of predators on French soil ....?We don't want people who have values contrary to those of the Republic being invited on French territory," Sarkozy added.

BBC News, citing a source,?reported that the arrests were not connected with the killings of seven people by Mohamed Merah, a 23-year-old Frenchman, who was buried Thursday after he was cornered and shot dead by police.

French gunman buried in Toulouse

Merah killed?three Jewish schoolchildren, a rabbi and three French paratroopers in three separate attacks that revived worries about Islamist extremism and shook up the French presidential campaign.???

Jewish school gunman linked to French spies?

The BBC noted that after Merah was killed, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins had said that accomplices were still being sought.

Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Sustainability fundamental to long-term business performance | The ...

Guest Blog: Barend van Bergen, Head of KPMG?s Global Center of Excellence for Climate Change & Sustainability

Almost four years ago, while being seconded from KPMG to the WBCSD, I was involved in a series of workshops aimed at involving the capital markets in sustainability. Reflecting? now on the lively conversations? that took place, I genuinely believe we have made some progress.

Although I never predicted events would unfold as they have, I was convinced that it was in the interest of capital markets to embrace non-financial information within their investment decisions / company evaluations. Recent events such as the economic crisis, political instability of oil-producing regions, scarcity of natural resources and environmental disasters have forced financial institutions and mainstream investors to rethink the material impact Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors have on long-term business performance.

When speaking to members of the investment community, they inform me that a company?s management of ESG factors is seen as a proxy for risk management, management quality, business reputation, and fundamental to long-term performance.

What?s driving increasing investor interest?

Since the financial crisis we have witnessed the rapid growth and expansion of a number of investor-backed initiatives, most notably the UN PRI which has gone from 50 signatories in 2006 to over 800 in 2010, with assets of over US$22 trillion. Likewise adoption to the Equator Principles has also risen from 16 signatories (2003) to 68 (2010).

What these trends suggest is that the market is recognizing the value and importance of ESG factors. The corollary, of course, is that market recognition creates further interest from mainstream investors ? who are responding to the changing risk-appetites of their institutional clients (e.g. pension funds).

Furthermore, the public reaction to the financial crisis and the Gulf disaster, together with the rapid emergence of whistle-blowing and social media sites such as WikiLeaks & Twitter are evolving the scope of enterprise-risk management systems and corporate reporting for leading companies.

What companies can do

I would suggest that companies become more proactive (and effective) in communicating ESG factors to mainstream investors. Companies can reduce this risk by taking the lead and incorporating ESG factors at investor meetings, quarterly earnings or roadshows. There are three actions companies can take to improve this process:

- Foster Internal Collaboration ? by aligning Investor Relations & Sustainability departments
- Integrate ESG ? by demonstrating how ESG performance will impact long-term success
- Speak their language ? by framing ESG materiality in terms of business risks and opportunities

Looking ahead

Moving forward, I expect that once market imperfections are corrected via regulation and when natural resources become more volatile, ESG will translate further ? perhaps to the point where investors begin evaluating ESG performance like they do management quality or market risk.

Businesses need to be ready for this and start articulating on how ESG factors translate into business risks and opportunities. Companies who have strong data on ESG factors are more responsive to stakeholders and can react quicker to change, which will ultimately help drive long-term business performance.

Agriculture ? the Economic Super Star of the Oregon Economy

Presented by:

Dalton Hobbs
Assistant Director, Oregon Department of Agriculture

Tom Fessler
General Manager, Woodburn Nursery
Chairman ? Oregon Board of Agriculture, Department of Agriculture

Agriculture is important to both the urban and rural areas of the Willamette Valley and plays a significant role in the economy. Dalton Hobbs will discuss trends for agriculture, along with why we need to continue to support public agricultural development programs within the Oregon Department of Agriculture and their close partnership with organizations such as SEDCOR and other economic development organizations around the state.

Tom Fessler will examine Oregon agricultural diversity and how it makes us special, as well as makes things more difficult. Our distance to markets is a big drawback, but niches in the different markets can bring success.

Fessler knows a great deal about Oregon?s number on agricultural commodity nursery products. His family farm outside of Mt. Angel spans some 2,000 acres. Nursery products make up the primary crop, but the Fessler family also raises grass seed, beans, broccoli and cauliflower. No other agricultural industry in Oregon has had the meteoric growth of the greenhouse and nursery industry now valued at more than three-quarters of a billion dollars.

Dalton Hobbs has worked for nearly 30 years in a variety of communication, marketing and developmental positions at the Oregon Department of Agriculture. He currently directs the department?s internationally recognized Agricultural Development and Marketing policy area, which provides market access, certification, promotion and market entry programs for Oregon farmers, ranchers, fishermen and food processors.

Tom Fessler is a fourth generation farmer in the Mt. Angel, Woodburn area. Tom grew up working with his parents and grandparents helping on the farm. He knew at a young age he wanted to farm. The nursery operation was started in 1967, so he grew up both farming and growing nursery crops. After finishing high school Tom started in production at the nursery. After many years he started in overall business management with his father. Today he is general manager of the business. Tom is past President of the Oregon Association of Nurseries.

Mahogany grain door

I have recently previewed the new entry doors for 2012 that the leading manufactures have created. ?The big growth area for entry doors is in fiberglass construction. ?Homeowners are really starting to understand and want the many advantages of fiberglass doors over wood or metal. ?With the demand for fiberglass doors the manufactures are giving us more options and styles to choose from. ?The advantage of fiberglass doors is their durability and the stunning looks that are available.

Wood doors have always been the best looking doors and have had the most design options but they can be expensive and require maintenance. ?Now fiberglass doors look just like wood doors are more durable and cost less. ?The new styles available this year increase the appeal of the doors as they give you more wood grain options and more glass styles. ?Fir has always been one of the most popular wood doors and now the fiberglass doors have the look and grain pattern of fir. ?Mahogany is also a classic door style and there are new mahogany looking doors available.

The demand for fiberglass front doors has increased the glass design options. ?Decorative glass comes in many styles that are

Fir grain door

new and unique. ?The new glass styles include a silkscreen look, contemporary design or a modern look with sleek lines. ?Privacy glass has new styles that give you a custom look allow light in but give you privacy and security.

With all the styles available it can be a daunting effort to pick the style that is right for you. ?With this in mind, the leading manufactures have on their websites design tools. ?The tools allow you to pick any of their doors and then pick from their selection of glass and shows you what it will look like in several colors. ?You can even import a picture of your house and view your house with the new door in place.

The leading door manufacturer that I recommend are Therma Tru and Masonite. ?They both have what seems as an endless variety of doors and ?offer a good value. ?They will also make doors to fit your custom size opening. ?For entry doors in fiberglass or metal I would start my search either one off them. ?They are both available all over the country and have great warranties.

Famed Venice view goes commercial

Residents disagree over plans to convert a 500-year-old palazzo into a department store in Venice, Italy.

? A local, slice-of-life story from a Monitor correspondent.

Skip to next paragraph

Immortalized by Venetian painter Cana?letto, it forms the graceful backdrop to a million tourist snaps of Venice?s famous Rialto Bridge. But a plan to convert a 500-year-old palazzo into a department store has met with hostility here.

The Renaissance building, known as the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, overlooks the Grand Canal and was built in the early 16th century as the headquarters for German merchants. In the 20th century it became Venice?s main post office, but has stood empty and unused for several years.

Now there are plans to refurbish the building and slice off part of its roof to form a terrace with a panoramic view.

Italia Nostra (Our Italy), a heritage group, says the ?very serious alterations? will gravely compromise the architectural integrity and historical identity of the building. Nonsense, says the mayor of Venice, who is backing the plan. The project is due to begin by December 2012.

Learning best when you rest: Sleeping after processing new info most effective, new study shows

Learning best when you rest: Sleeping after processing new info most effective, new study shows

Saturday, March 24, 2012

Nodding off in class may not be such a bad idea after all. New research from the University of Notre Dame shows that going to sleep shortly after learning new material is most beneficial for recall,

Titled "Memory for Semantically Related and Unrelated Declarative Information: The Benefit of Sleep, the Cost of Wake," the study was published March 22 in PLOS One.

Notre Dame Psychologist Jessica Payne and colleagues studied 207 students who habitually slept for at least six hours per night. Participants were randomly assigned to study declarative, semantically related or unrelated word pairs at 9:00 a.m. or 9:00 p.m., and returned for testing 30 minutes, 12 hours or 24 hours later. Declarative memory refers to the ability to consciously remember facts and events, and can be broken down into episodic memory (memory for events) and semantic memory (memory for facts about the world). People routinely use both types of memory every day ? recalling where we parked today or learning how a colleague prefers to be addressed.

At the 12-hour retest, memory overall was superior following a night of sleep compared to a day of wakefulness. However, this performance difference was a result of a pronounced deterioration in memory for unrelated word pairs; there was no sleep-wake difference for related word pairs. At the 24-hour retest, with all subjects having received both a full night of sleep and a full day of wakefulness, subjects' memories were superior when sleep occurred shortly after learning, rather than following a full day of wakefulness.

"Our study confirms that sleeping directly after learning something new is beneficial for memory. What's novel about this study is that we tried to shine light on sleep's influence on both types of declarative memory by studying semantically unrelated and related word pairs," Payne says.

"Since we found that sleeping soon after learning benefited both types of memory, this means that it would be a good thing to rehearse any information you need to remember just prior to going to bed. In some sense, you may be 'telling' the sleeping brain what to consolidate."

NVIDIA's GTX 680 tested in SLI and multi-display modes, loses some of its lead

Just hours after our review round-up of the new GeForce GTX 680 graphics card yesterday, a Dutch site has managed to test multiple cards in different (but invariably exorbitant) SLI modes. One of the strange things we learned during our hands-on was that SLI is complicated by NVIDIA's GPU Boost technology, which causes individual cards in the same chassis to run at different clock speeds depending on their load and temperature. Fortunately, Hardware.info reports no problems with SLI whatsoever, but it also concludes that the GTX 680 doesn't scale quite as well as AMD's Radeon HD 7970 in this type of niche setup. That changes if you throw down even more money on a 5760 x 1080 triple-display rig, in which case NVIDIA takes the lead in some games, but loses in others -- leaving the two rivals closer than the single-card reviews we looked at yesterday. If horizon-filling gameplay is your thing, don't give anyone thousands of dollars until you've checked out the source link.

[Thanks, Koen]

Government cuts income tax in political austerity rejig

(Reuters) - Chancellor George Osborne cut personal income taxes but aimed new levies on the wealthy on Wednesday, taking a political gamble while pledging to stick to his government's tough austerity plan.

He also said that economy was improving, although growth is set to remain very modest this year.

In a move that will please his own Conservative party, he cut a 50 percent income tax band for the highest earners to 45 percent, from next year on. The Conservatives say that high a levy is a barrier to aspiration. The Labour opposition say it is a fair way to spread the pain.

In a nod to the Liberal Democrats, the junior coalition partner, Osborne raised the income tax threshold by more than previously announced to 9,205 pounds ($14,300), taking more poorly paid people out of the tax net.

Osborne also introduced a new 7 percent stamp duty rate on sales of property worth more than 2 million pounds. But he cut corporation tax 2 pence to 24 pence in April.

"We'll be getting five times more money each and every year from the wealthiest in our society," he said, in a statement opponents are likely to challenge.

Mindful of the risk that heavily indebted Britain could lose its prized top-notch credit rating, Osborne said there was no room to soften the plan of unprecedented spending cuts and tax increases, aimed at reducing sky-high debts.

A shock jump in public sector borrowing to a new record in February, released ahead of the budget statement, provided a stark reminder that the chancellor of the exchequer had no money to provide the fragile economy with a significant boost.

"This budget reaffirms our unwavering commitment to deal with Britain's record debts," Osborne said in his budget speech to parliament.

Despite the ongoing risks from the euro zone debt crisis, Britain's economy was set to avoid a renewed recession and growth is expected to pick up in coming years, Osborne said.

The coalition government of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats also remained on track to meet its fiscal targets to erase the budget deficit - which topped 11 percent before it took office - within the next five years.

In November, the ongoing economic weakness had forced Osborne to add two more years of austerity after the 2015 election and pointing to a much slower recovery than they expected when they took power in 2010.

Ratings agencies have warned Britain that it could be downgraded, with apparently only Osborne's unwavering determination to cut the deficit keeping them onside for now.

AUSTERITY

Britain has been hit hard by the 2007-2009 financial crisis and had to spend tens of billions to bailout major banks.

The recovery from the steep slump has been very weak, with the economy still running well below its precrisis peak and the unemployment rate at its highest in 16 years.

Many Britons have experienced the worst squeeze on their living standards in at least a generation as price rises outpaced meagre wage growth and the government's tax increases and austerity measures are eating into households budgets.

But in recent weeks, the overall mood among businesses is slowly improving after taking a severe knock from the euro zone crisis at the end of last year.

The government's Office for Budget Responsibility forecast that growth should pick up from the 0.8 percent predicted for 2012 to 2.0 percent next year and 2.7 percent in 2014, leaving its November predictions largely unchanged.

The government's Office for Budget Responsibility forecast predicted that net borrowing would fall from 126 billion pounds in 2011/2012 to 21 billion in 2016/2017.

Overall Britain's public sector debt as share of gross domestic product (GDP) will peak at 76.3 percent in 2014/15 before falling, fulfilling the second part of the fiscal target.

Any hopes for stimulus still rest squarely with the central bank and Wednesday's minutes suggested those chances of more money printing are receding.

Minutes from the Bank of England's latest meeting, also released on Wednesday, showed rising concerns about oil prices and future wage inflation, in a sign that the central bankers may be reluctant to extend quantitative easing beyond the current target of 325 billion pounds.

Selling Products On Line | Business and Marketing

Mar 20 by Make Money Online

My view of internet marketing is from working a few different online stores. My first was a designer jewelry store selling high end jewelry aimed at the wedding market. My second was selling leather handbags to consumers both in my local market and around the world. Just because you product is not easy to ship does not mean you should not market it online to increase local and internet sales.

Do a lot of research before you start an online business.You might have the impression that working online and making that first million is easy, but this is far from the truth.There is money to be made online, but know what you are doing first. This article will go over a few of the specifics that you should be concerned about before jumping into new online business.

Internet Marketing Success will Take Time Acknowledge that when you take shortcuts with internet marketing, they usually will not have good results.The search engines do not like it when website creators try to circumvent the ranking process.This could be viewed as anything that makes online life much easier such as software packages or link building schemes.

Only Work on One Business Plan at a Time

You can earn an web income in many ways.Start a business model that you like and work it until you make money.If you opt to create Amazon review sites, then do it.Get the guidelines and start doing it.See how long it takes your sites to rank.Then, see what it takes to start making money.Then you say that you want to earn a particular amount of money each period.

Don?t Let Others Mess You Up

When you first get into internet marketing, there will be many different business models to follow.There is so much information on the internet that it usually confuses many newbie marketers.But, see what you want to do and not listen to what others are doing.This does not mean you should not be privy to what is happening around you.Just do not get held down with too much info.Most of the things boasted about online are not true.

You will find out that everyone thinks that their way is the best.Do what makes your business succeed.Do not change your plans just because something does not work for someone else.Internet marketing means that you learn out what works best for your company.

Another area that you really need to take advantage of is video marketing. Below is a simple video used to market exotic leather handbags on You Tube and in Google search results. With video, a new client never needs to find your web site, they can find and view your product while at You Tube or even Face book.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) ? Following a day of protests calling for the arrest of a Florida neighborhood watch captain who fatally shot an unarmed black teen, the U.S. Justice Department announced late Monday it will investigate the case.

George Zimmerman, 28, claims he shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last month in self-defense during a confrontation in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. Police have described Zimmerman as white; his family says he is Hispanic and not racist.

Zimmerman spotted Martin as he was patrolling his neighborhood on a rainy evening last month and called 911 to report a suspicious person. Against the advice of the 911 dispatcher, Zimmerman then followed Martin, who was walking home from a convenience store with a bag of Skittles in his pocket.

The Justice Department said in a statement late Monday that the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office will join in the agency's investigation.

"The department will conduct a thorough and independent review of all the evidence and take appropriate action at the conclusion of the investigation," the agency said.

The case has garnered national attention. Civil rights activist Al Sharpton is expected to join Sanford city leaders in a Tuesday evening town hall meeting to discuss with residents how the investigation is being handled. The Justice Department said its community relations service also will be in Sanford this week to meet with authorities, community officials and civil rights leaders "to address tension in the community."

Earlier Monday, students held rallies on the campus of Florida A&M University in Tallahassee and outside the Seminole County Criminal Justice Center, where prosecutors are reviewing the case to determine if charges should be filed.

But authorities may be hamstrung by a state law that allows people to defend themselves with deadly force. Prosecutors may not be able to charge Zimmerman because of changes to state law in 2005. Under the old law, people could use deadly force in self-defense only if they had tried to run away or otherwise avoid the danger.

Under the new law, there is no duty to retreat and it gives a Floridian the right "to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force," if he feels threatened.

"I don't think a man who exited his vehicle after the 911 dispatcher told him to stay inside the car can claim self-defense," Carl McPhail, a 28-year-old Barry University law school student, said at the Sanford rally.

The 70 protesters at the Sanford rally chanted "What if it was your son?" and held posters saying, "This is not a race issue." Many carried Skittles.

Martin's parents and other advocates have said the shooter would have been arrested had he been black.

"You would think that Sanford is still in the 1800s claiming that this man can call self-defense for shooting an unarmed boy," restaurant owner Linda Tillman said.

U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., along with members of the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, had asked the U.S. Department of Justice to review the case, and White House spokesman Jay Carney said earlier Monday during a briefing that officials there were aware of what happened.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Trayvon Martin's family," Carney said at the time. "But obviously we're not going to wade into a local law enforcement matter."

A message to Brown's spokesman late Monday was not immediately returned.

Late Monday, Florida Gov. Rick Scott directed the state Department of Law Enforcement to help local authorities in their investigation. The governor said in a memo to department Commissioner Gerald Bradley that the circumstances surrounding the death "have caused significant concern within the Sanford community and the state."

Prosecutors can have a hard time making a case if there is no one else around to contradict a person who claims self-defense, said David Hill, a criminal defense attorney in Orlando. So far, Sanford police have said there is no evidence to contradict Zimmerman's claims.

"If there is nobody around and you pull a gun, you just say, 'Hey, I reasonably believed I was under imminent attack. Hey, sorry. Too bad. But you can't prosecute me,'" Hill said, somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

Gun control advocates said the case is emblematic of permissive gun laws in Florida, which was among the first states to allow residents to carry concealed weapons. Florida was the first state to pass a "Stand Your Ground" law, which has been dubbed a "Shoot First" law by gun control advocates.

Currently, about half of all U.S. states have similar laws, said Brian Malte, legislative director of the Brady Campaign, which describes itself as the nation's largest organization dedicated to the prevention of gun violence.

"It's coming to dangerous fruition," Malte said. "There are more states like Florida."

The "Stand Your Ground" law's legislative sponsor, Florida Rep. Dennis Baxley, said it wasn't written to give people the power to pursue and confront others.

"That's not what this legislation does," said Baxley, a Republican. "Unfortunately, every time there is an unfortunate incident involving a firearm, they think it's about this law, and it's not."

Windows 8 could be out by October

8 hrs.

Suzanne Choney

We've known Windows 8 is coming later this year, but now a report suggests that October will be when Microsoft's new operating system makes its debut. Good timing for those looking to buy new PCs -- and perhaps Windows tablets? -- for the holidays.

A consumer preview version of Windows 8, designed to run on both tablets and computer, was released a few weeks ago, and saw more than 1 million downloads in its first day.

Bloomberg is reporting that Microsoft will finish work on Windows 8 this summer, "setting the stage for personal computers and tablets with the operating system to go on sale around October, according to people with knowledge of the schedule."

(Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal, but, as we've noted, that doesn't grant us privileged access to Microsoft products.) We asked Microsoft about the timing, and the company declined to comment.

Gartner analyst Michael Gartenberg told Bloomberg that if Microsoft misses the "September-October time frame, they?re going to be stuck without being able to ship anything in 2012 ... The last thing Microsoft wants to have is a situation where there are no compelling Windows tablets at a time when the new iPad looks like it?s going to be a good seller for the holidays."

PC makers, too, are counting on Windows 8 to help spur what have been lackluster sales in recent years. At January's Consumer Electronics Show, "ultrabooks," essentially lightweight laptops that are MacBook Air knockoffs, were on the push list by manufacturers for this year. While many ultrabooks can and will run Windows 7, once twinned with Windows 8, they may prove to be more appealing to buyers.

The Meadowood Resort in Napa Valley should be called Shangri La ...

?

The Meadowood Resort in California's Napa Valley sits in a 250 acre private valley and offers their guests almost everything an active adult with an appreciation of luxury desires: top wines, a Michelin Guide 3-Star restaurant, tennis courts, swimming pools, basketball courts, hiking trails and an original Croquet green ? including professional coach Jerry Stark, who is a 15 year member of the Croquet Hall of Fame.

FINDING SHANGRI LA IN CALIFORNIA?S NAPA VALLEY ? PART ONE ?

( read?part two?here) ?

In one hand a golf club, in the other a glass of wine, in front of me the meticulously manicured green of the Executive? Golf Course, and behind me, quite literally, a tasting of the best wines Napa Valley has to offer. ?Is there anything more wonderful than playing golf after a few glasses of ?exquisitely aged Cabernet Sauvignon with hickory clubs that are 100 years old??

By Bettina M. Gordon, publisher ?Photos: (c) Meadowood Resort and Bettina Gordon

In my book, this resort shall be called Shangri La Meadowood from today forward.?As I swing the hickory clubs I realize that even the?best golfer in the world looks like a bloody beginner and nobody notices. We all look like bloody beginners. Which is a good thing in my case. Between you and I: ?I should not even have access to the greens considering my handicap. I am imposter on the green and nobody notices.

Wine and golf go well together, as the Meadowood's resident golf trainer Doug Pike and master sommelier Gilles de Chambure demonstrate

As I raise my glass again to toast I thank? my publisher for this assignment to travel to the world renowned Napa Valley, one hour north of San Francisco, where most of the top American wines are cultivated. One of the area?s extraordinary jewels is the Meadowood Resort, which was recently voted by the readers of Travel & Leisure magazine as THE top resort in Napa.

The Meadowood sits in a 250 acre private valley and offers their guests almost everything an active adult with an appreciation of luxury desires:? top wines, a Michelin Guide 3-Star restaurant, tennis courts, swimming pools, basketball courts, hiking trails and an original Croquet green ? including professional coach Jerry Stark, who is a 15 year member of the Croquet Hall of Fame.

I wander across the golf course that is small in size yet extraordinarily beautiful and head over to meet ?the golf pro, Doug Pike, who gives me my first lesson in historical-things-to-know. Around 1860, this course was a rice field and the valley was home to the Asian immigrants who worked for the railroad companies, mined for precious metals in St. Helena, labored in the vineyards,? and built underground tunnels for wine storage? all with only their bare hands.

Doug Pike and Bettina Gordon waiting for the swan to give us the "kodak moment" we were hoping for.

Even today, there is an 800 foot long tunnel beneath the resort that is still used to store the resort?s valuable wines. (During the 20^th century, the rice field became a Christmas tree plantation and since the 1970s this beautiful piece of nature is used as a golf course, a very lush golf course, with weeping willows, two ponds and a swan that is willing to pose for pictures.

?Meadowood is challenging because it is a narrow, 9 hole, 177 yard course. which includes two ponds,? says Doug (who was 21 when he first turned pro). Today he is in his mid thirties and focuses on teaching the resort guests how to play a perfect game. Golf seems to run in Doug?s blood. His six year old daughter Piper already swings a mean club as well, he tells me. Very well, I think, with a name like Piper Pike the world expects more of the child than crochet or flower picking. ?At least I do, and her father seems to agree.

Doug is a real personality, easy-going and hard to rattle, which might also have to do with his work environment. ?The biggest advantage of the course is its tranquility. Golfers can really concentrate on their game and their one-on-one instruction.? Indeed, there are no motorized golf carts to be seen, and the players appear to be relaxed and not rushed as is often customary at the crowded fast-play courses.

Just as we talk about tranquility we hear loud laughter, a stalwart curse and then see a golf club flying through the air. ?As I said, even pros play like frustrated beginners with the hickory clubs. ?And much to the amusement of everybody around. For somebody who likes a challenge and some fun, the hickory clubs are perfect.

(Since my visit?the Meadowood launched a new Golf Performance Studio, complete with TrackMan technology that according to Doug??transforms the way players learn and how the game is taught.? I definitely have to check it out during my next trip to Napa Valley.)

Attention ? Mountain lions

The cottages are secluded and tranquil, perfect for an afternoon nap.

Golf and wine make me sleepy and so I retreat to my tree-lined cottage for a nap. I just have to find it first. The resort is spread out and it would take me 10 minutes to walk from the lobby to my cottage. Thankfully two employees in ?uniform? ? shorts and a T-shirt, (it?s California after all) ? who are cruising through the property on golf carts (ah, here they are!), guide me in my car to the cottage and carry my suitcases into my luxurious home for the next two nights.

I am staying in a small house with a balcony, granite bathroom, a king sized bed and absolute tranquility. Two hours later I remember why I am here ? to ?work!??? I swing my well rested bones out of bed and decide to take a short hike before the next round of wine tasting and dinner.

Whoever looks for nature at the Meadowood has no trouble finding it. Right behind the cottages is a myriad of small hiking trails that allow guests with wanderlust to track a couple of miles through the hills of the property. It is a sunny afternoon in the spring and I am happy as I am well rested and? truly grateful for my line of work when I ? with a loud ?What the ..?? ? come to a screeching halt.

Right in front of my eyes is a poster, nailed to a tree, which announces: ?CAUTION! Please beware of the mountain lion sightings in the area. Hike at your own risk! Do NOT hike or jog alone!? Have you ever heard such a thing? I am shaking my head. Scaremonger ? your name is America.

?Ridiculous?, I think and march on into the wilderness all by myself. By now I?ve lived long enough in America to know that this poster is there for insurance reasons. So that no guest can later claim they were not warned, just in case they were nibbled on by a mountain lion, which is as likely as winning the lottery. ?In Europe, where I am from, this would not happen. You hike at your own risk and cannot sue anybody for being stupid or ignorant.

I picked a narrow track with lush bushes and trees on either side. I can hardly see more than a few feet to either side as I climb the hill. It takes me up about 600 feet before I look over my shoulder for the first time. Wasn?t there a rustling in the bushes? Didn?t I read about a female jogger whose neck was bitten through by a mountain lion? My heartbeat rises, and not just because of the altitude.

The truth is: I am the biggest threat to myself. ?I spent a summer at the border of northern California, Nevada and Oregon with my friends, died-in-the-wool cowboys with weathered faces, spurs and dead animals in their freezers that they hunted for themselves. They never left without their pistols because in ?mountain lion land? the Glock (from my homeland Austria, by the way) is your best friend. And I remember how uneasy the horses got when they got wind of a mountain lion close by.

Sure, I know that I am not in nowhere land.? I?m on a widespread 4-star property, but still. ?I?ve observed enough wild mustangs in the high desert, stumbled upon brown bears and froze before rattle snakes to know that the saying ?They are more afraid of you than the other way round and will take off right away? is just that. ?A saying. ?Scaremonger ? your true name is Bettina.

So the hike turns out as it must turn out: I get a mild neck pain, because I constantly glance over my shoulder.? I hit the ground when I fell over a root since I ?can?t see forwards when scanning for wild animals behind me. At some point I start talking to my friends in New York on my cellphone so that at least somebody will know when I fall victim to the wilderness here. My tranquility and composure is gone.

When I come upon a wide dirt road I abandon my hike and head back to Meadowood, right into the arms of Master Sommelier Gilles de Chambure. There I instantly feel at ease?. ?Click here for the second part.
