Scallops are bivalve mollusks categories into two groups. Bay scallops, found only in East Coast waters, measure about 1/2 inch. One pound of these tiny, tender and sweet scallops contains about 100 scallops. Sea scallops are larger, less tender and less expensive than bay scallops. Measuring about 1 1/2 inches, sea scallops number about 30 per pound and are the best kind to use for kabobs.
To devein shrimp, use a sharp pointed knife to slit along the outside curve of the shrimp. Pull out the dark vein, then rinse the shrimp under cold running water.

Manchester United player-coach Ryan Giggs is preparing to turn 40.
United's player-coach hits that milestone birthday on November 29.
And Giggs said: "I'm trying to keep it quiet but when I was 30 I didn't think I'd still be playing in ten years' time.
"No, not a chance. You don't look too far ahead but I never thought I'd still be playing now. But I am and I'm enjoying it.
"Hopefully, like I have done over the last couple of years, I'll try to contribute as much as I can. It is getting less but I feel as fit as I did a few years ago.
"It helps that I'm playing every couple of weeks – it's not like I'm playing Saturday-Wednesday-Saturday like I used to do.
"I have time to recover and prepare, so I feel just as good as I did three or four years ago."

On Armistice Day, soldiers who survived the war marched in a parade through their home towns. Politicians and veteran officers gave speeches and held ceremonies of thanks for the peace they had won.
November 11 is also celebrated as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day in many parts of the world.
Veterans Day is both a federal and state holiday and is usually observed on November 11 each year.
In 1953 townspeople in Emporia, Kansas called the holiday Veterans' Day in gratitude to the veterans in their town. Soon after, Congress passed a bill introduced by a Kansas congressman renaming the federal holiday to Veterans' Day. Beginning in 1954, the United States designated November 11 as Veterans Day to honor veterans of all U.S. wars. In 1971 President Nixon declared it a federal holiday on the second Monday in November each year.
Veterans Day in the US
Dating back to the early 20th century, this honorable holiday is one of the most reverent days in the United States. Veterans Day is especially important now, due to the declining number of living veterans from World War I. Many Americans have grandparents who remember the end of the Great War, but few have great grandparents who were actually old enough to serve in the war.
Although the holiday originated from World War I, it is now celebrated to include all veterans of wars, conflicts, and active duty service. In the United States, the armed services community is very tight, and the army, navy, air force, National Guard and reserves of the US have been very important in shaping the country as well as the entire world.
Verterans Day - A time to commemorate surviving and fallen servicemen
Celebrations in the US for Veterans Day
Some of the celebrations for Veterans Day include holding special events for the veterans of each of the US's major wars and conflicts. Some of these include the following:
The very first Veterans Day was held by then President of the United States Woodrow Wilson in 1919. When many of the troops returning from the war theaters of Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa had a shortage of food due to rationing, the President held a special dinner for them at the White House. The food of the evening was ravioli, which had just recently been introduced as an easy to make food, due to technological advances in the food industry.
Now, however, ravioli is not a common food to be eaten on Veterans Day. Instead, many people will visit special memorials set up to commemorate those who lost their lives in service for the country. Washington, D.C. for instance has numerous war memorials.
While some Americans have no direct connection with the wars of the past century, they enjoy the day off. All governmental offices are shut down, schools are closed, and banks and businesses are closed. Mail is not delivered on this holiday either.

The Once & Future Climate?Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 07/17/2012 - 14:56
Between 15 and 20 million years (Myr) ago, Earth's climate took a pause during its long slide into the Pleistocene Ice Age for a period of real global warming. During this relatively brief time glaciers around the world retreated and there are indications that, at least around the edges of the continent, there was significant vegetation on Antarctica. Temperatures may have been as high as 11°C higher than today. Scientists say this global warm spell took place under under CO2 levels in the range of 190–850 ppmv, both significantly higher and lower than today's 390 ppmv. It is hoped that studying conditions during the Miocene warming can provide constraints on the fundamental laws governing the climate system. Why? If the Pleistocene Ice Age is truly coming to an end, as some have said, this may be the climate of the future.
Desperate Climate Scientists Blame Bad Weather On Global WarmingSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 07/11/2012 - 15:14
After decades of debunking and statements by responsible scientists that climate is not weather and individual anomalies are not an indication of climate change, the government funded IPCC lackeys at the UK's Met Office and America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have publicly attributed recent bad weather events to man-made climate change. These irresponsible boffins' shrill claims illustrate the desperation in the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) camp in the face of declining public concern over climate change. While admitting that it is impossible to blame a single event on global warming, climate alarmists are claiming attribution is possible as long as it is framed in terms of probability. They have gone from lies, to damn lies and now, finally, to statistics.
Ravaged Reefs ReboundSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 07/06/2012 - 14:51
In a new study of coral reefs off the Pacific coast of Panama, a team of scientists has discovered something shocking: those seemingly thriving, permanent reefs have undergone widespread devastation in the past. Even more shocking was the realization that, despite this natural destruction of coral reefs, the reefs bounced back—after laying dormant for 2,500 years. We have been told that the oh so sensitive coral reefs of the world are all going to die if the world's temperature rises due to that horrible man-made scourge, global warming. Yet it seems that nature has been happily wiping out and re-establishing reefs across all the oceans of the world since before the rise of human civilization. Once again the warmists' scare tactics founder on the reefs of actual science.
Getting to the Root of the Climate Change DebateSubmitted by admin on Fri, 06/15/2012 - 14:04
The following is taken from an interesting article about the debate over climate change (a link to the whole article is provided): It is very difficult to understand the climate change denial platform on a purely philosophical and scientific level. Climate change is a rather obvious aspect of the history of the Earth and clearly man interacts with climate in an increasingly dynamic manner. That this is even debated appears on the surface to be not a little ridiculous-somewhere on the level of discussing whether the Earth is round or flat.
New Climate Models Fall ShortSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 05/29/2012 - 13:32
The IPCC is working up to releasing pieces of its next climate report, starting in 2013. This has the world's climate scientists scrambling to get their latest work included in that dubious document. Foremost among those struggling for primacy of place are the computer modelers, those who study their own created worlds instead of the natural one around them. This report promises to be more contentious than the last one (AR4) in that the modelers have been racing to incorporate the effects of aerosols, soot and other airborne particulates that had previously been give scant attention. Early results suggest that aerosols have a much greater impact on regional climate than scientists had realized and that aerosols and clouds are providing some big surprises.
Book Chapter Published: Switching to Renewable Energy Is Prohibitively ExpensiveSubmitted by admin on Tue, 05/29/2012 - 09:26
Resilient Earth coauthor, Dr. Doug L. Hoffman, has contributed a chapter to a new text book in GALE CENGAGE Learning's Opposing Viewpoints series entitled "Switching to Renewable Energy Is Prohibitively Expensive." Based on his blog article, "The Cost Of Running The World On Renewable Power," the published version provides a counterpoint to the views of green advocates also presented in the book. "I am really pleased to get this chance to present an opposing viewpoint to the standard line of green advocacy found in normal school textbooks," said the author. "Illogical policies can only be countered with reason and, to be able to reason, students need to hear more than one side of an issue."
Flatulosaurus Heats Up the MesozoicSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 05/22/2012 - 12:57
A new Current Biology paper proposes that the accumulated output of dinosaur flatulence could have changed the global climate during the age of the dinosaurs. Insert dinosaur fart joke here. No, seriously, this is a real report in an actual scientific journal. It just happens to be on a subject that the news media could not resist blowing out of proportion on their best day. Given that much of the CO2 in Earth's atmosphere was emitted by some form of living creature this is a serious area for study by environmental scientists. So after giving the chattering media magpies some time to calm down, here is a more serious take on this heady topic.
Fossil Raindrops and the Faint Young SunSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 05/17/2012 - 12:34
It is accepted that the ancient Sun was considerably cooler than our local star is today, so much so that Earth a few billion years ago should have been a lifeless frozen ball. But scientists have also shown that the planet was not frozen—shallow seas warmer than any modern ocean abounded with microbial life. A recent study, detailed in the journal Nature, is a good example of the sometimes convoluted, even improbable reasoning is used to get a handle on earthly climates during eons long vanished. Using the fossilized impact dimples from rain drops that fell 2.7 billion years ago, researchers have calculated new limits on the density of Earth's atmosphere. This, in turn, has implications on the development of the ancient atmosphere and what role greenhouse gases may have played in warming the young Earth.
Crank of the Week – April 30, 2012 – Leon PanettaSubmitted by admin on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 11:40
Not wanting to miss out on the global warming bonanza that is being used as an excuse for increased government spending in other agencies, US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has declared war on climate change. Panetta spoke at the annual reception for the Environmental Defense Fund at the Renwick Gallery in Washington D.C., on May 2, 2012. In his remarks, the Secretary thanked the organization for recognizing Defense Department efforts to make military bases and equipment more efficient and environmentally friendly. He also bemoaned rising fuel prices that are having an adverse affect on Pentagon operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere. "We now face a budget shortfall exceeding $3 billion because of higher-than-expected fuel costs this year," he told the audience.
Prominent Green Denounces Carbon OffsetsSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 04/24/2012 - 08:49
Carbon offsets, favored by PC Hollywood stars and green politicians alike, have been used by the rich and powerful as a way to make their energy wasting lifestyles appear to be OK from an ecological point of view. Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio have both used carbon offsets to greenwash their jet-setting travel on private aircraft. Airlines even offer the unwashed masses an opportunity to purchase carbon offsets before boarding a flight—you may not be able to fly like they stars but you can lie like the stars. Finally, a voice from the green ranks has spoken up to denounce carbon offsets for what they are: "carbon offsetting is without scientific legitimacy and is dangerously misleading."
Stop Them, Before They Model AgainSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 04/17/2012 - 11:45
Just when it looked like the climate catastrophists had slunk back into well deserved academic obscurity, a new report in the journal Nature Geoscience has resurrected claims of Earth's impending climatic demise. A new computer climate study says to expect increases in temperature of up to 3°C by 2050, confirming or exceed predictions made by the IPCC reports. Can this model based report be considered any more accurate than previous attempts? Have modeling techniques suddenly improved? Or is this report's appearance in a major scientific journal the signal of a renewed round of scaremongering by eco-alarmists?
Crank of the Week - April 9, 2012 – Matt DamonSubmitted by admin on Wed, 04/11/2012 - 13:46
Hollywood actors, producers and directors are constantly at pains to prove that they are in some way socially relevant. It is not enough to make millions of dollars simply entertaining people, the oh so politically correct members of the Hollywood elite just cannot resist commenting on politics and the environment. When spouting off on talk shows like The View is not enough, these self appointed protectors of the unwashed masses often make entire feature films about topics that bother them—the fact that they know little about the underlying subjects is never a barrier to film making. Case in point, Matt Damon, best know for the trilogy of Bourne spy thrillers, has signed on to do "Promised Land," a film that hopes to do for fracking what "The China Syndrome" did for the nuclear power industry.
So InsensitiveSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Sat, 03/24/2012 - 14:26
The dire results of anthropogenic global warming have become passé. Treated by the news media and climate alarmists as established scientific fact, the IPCC's vision of a dystopian future, a world ravaged by global warming, is feed to our children in school, TV shows and Hollywood movies. What is never mentioned is that even the IPCC's predictions encompass several ranges of possible outcome, all predicated on a seemingly simple but mysterious factor called climate system sensitivity. A recent study, published in the journal Science, used spatially more complete paleoclimate data for the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in an effort to improve previous estimates of climate sensitivity. The new results have not been widely reported in the news media because, according to the researchers, "these results imply a lower probability of imminent extreme climatic change than previously thought."
NASA Satellite Debunks Melting Glacier MythSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 03/09/2012 - 09:54
One of the claims put forth by climate change alarmists is that Earth's glaciers are rapidly melting. This supposedly causes all sorts of problems, from rising sea levels to failing water supplies. A recent report in the journal Nature uses NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite to measure the loss of glacial ice around the globe. Analysis of the satellite data on Earth's changing gravity field delivers some unexpected results and the results have surprising implications for both the global contribution of glaciers to sea level and the changes occurring in the mountain regions of Asia.
The IPCC May Have Outlived its Usefulness - An Interview with Judith CurrySubmitted by admin on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 09:54
As the global warming debate increases in its intensity we find both sides deeply entrenched, hurling accusations and lies at one another in an attempt to gain the upper hand. This divide within the scientific community has left the public wondering who can be trusted to provide them with accurate information and answers.

Jenny, I love both of those names. Did you watch You Can't Do That on Television when you were a kid? I had a mad crush on Alasdair!
We have a girl's name left over from last time (since we had a boy)...
GIRL = Joan (middle name will be Marie)
BOY = Alexander, Julius (we'd call him Jules), Marcus, or Adrian (middle name will be Peter)
What do you think of the boy names? Is Julius too over the top? LOL My husband and I love the name Alexander, but it's just so common these days...I think it's ranked #11 on the SSA list which makes for a lot of Alex's! Thoughts on our names choices? I love talking names :-)
Mischevium, I really like Maisie too. I kind of had it on my preliminary list but I don't think DH is wild about it. I think it is short for Margaret (officially) but I am definitely not stoked on Margaret.

Congress Puts Medicare Transparency on Back Burner
Apr 2, 2014 by Leslie Haymon
On March 31, Congress once again kicked the can down the road by passing its 17th temporary patch to Medicare's reimbursement rate. This one-year extension does not include a crucial transparency reform, proposed in previous Medicare bills this session, which would have required the release of Medicare's physician payment data. This missed opportunity means Medicare, one of the largest government programs, will continue to receive less oversight and accountability than other areas of federal spending.read in full

House Bill on Medicare Payment Transparency Undermined by Poison Pill Provision
Mar 18, 2014 by Leslie Haymon
On March 14, the House passed the SGR Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act (H.R. 4015), which includes provisions on Medicare data transparency. Among other things, the bill would require Medicare to publicly disclose data on reimbursements made to physicians while protecting patients' privacy. The legislation would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to release payment data on Physician Compare, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' online physician database. Unfortunately, the bill also contains a "poison pill" – the repeal of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate – rendering it unworkable in its current form.read in full

GXS Powers 22 of Gartner's 2013 Top 25 Supply Chains
Using GXS Trading Grid, Leading Retailers, Distributors, Manufacturer and High-tech Companies Connect through the World´s Largest Integration Cloud
Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) June 05, 2013
GXS, a leading provider of B2B integration services, today announced that 22 of Gartner´s 2013 Supply Chain Top 25* connect through GXS Trading Grid, the company´s cloud-based integration platform. GXS Trading Grid automates supply chain processes such as procure-to-pay and order-to-cash for thousands of companies in the automotive, high tech, consumer products and retail sectors.
"At the heart of the Supply Chain Top 25 is the notion of demand-driven leadership," said Debra Hofman, managing vice president at Gartner*. "We've been researching and writing about demand-driven practices since 2003, highlighting the journey companies are taking from the old 'push' model of supply chain to one that integrates demand, supply and product into a value network that orchestrates a profitable response to ever-shifting changes in demand.*"
GXS Trading Grid enables customers in industries including automotive, retail, high tech and consumer products to exchange information electronically with their customers and suppliers. Companies use Trading Grid to share information such as electronic product catalogues, inventory reports, purchase orders, shipment notices, invoices and remittance advices using popular standards such as EDI and XML. By eliminating time-consuming and error-prone communication methods such as e-mails, faxes and phone calls, B2B integration reduces not only the cost of information exchange, but the latency of data flow between business partners.
"The leaders have gone beyond the theory and are now deploying the capabilities that others are just starting to consider," said Stan Aronow, research director at Gartner*. "In doing so, they are finding new and creative ways to use these capabilities, exploring synergies and opportunities they hadn't necessarily anticipated in advance. Leaders are discovering that the combination of capabilities they are now implementing brings them to a new frontier of performance, and affords them an entirely new toolbox with which they can orchestrate the optimization of their business and leap ahead of the competition."
The Supply Chain Top 25 rankings comprise two main components: financial and opinion. Public financial data gives a view into how companies have performed in the past, while the opinion component provides an eye to future potential and reflects future expected leadership, a crucial characteristic. These two components are combined into a total composite score. Gartner analysts derive a master list of companies from the Fortune Global 500 and the Forbes Global 2000, with a revenue cutoff of $10 billion. Gartner then pares the combined list down to the manufacturing, retail and distribution sectors, thus eliminating certain industries, such as financial services and insurance.

4:30 am, never say when, it's five in the morning, and your children are somewhere on the corner
from Kevin Gates – 4:30 AM Lyrics on Genius
"never say win" is just another way of saying that these kids out on the street at 4:30 am are losing, they are losing their parents, their lives, their futures.
From where Gates is from, since parents are too busy sleeping from their work day, kids are taking the opportunity to sneak out and stay out late doing anything they want until 5-6 am which when they need to come back before their parents wake up and catch them.

- Life and work
- Reputation and influence

Before Beethoven left Bonn, he had acquired a very considerable reputation in northwest Germany as a piano virtuoso, with a particular talent for extemporization. Mozart had been one of the finest improvisers of his age; by all accounts Beethoven surpassed him. In the age of sensibility he could move an audience to tears more easily than any other pianist of the time. For this reason especially he was taken up by the Viennese aristocracy almost from the moment he set foot in Vienna. Waldstein had, of course, prepared the way with his talk of a successor to Mozart; and it is significant that Beethoven's earliest patrons in Vienna were Gottfried, Baron van Swieten and Karl, Fürst (prince) von Lichnowsky, who alone among the aristocracy had remained Mozart's supporters until his death. Perhaps, as well, Beethoven traded on the "van" in his name—which was widely if wrongly understood to denote noble lineage—to gain easier access to aristocratic circles. In the Vienna of the 1790s, music had become more and more the favourite pastime of a cultured aristocracy, for whom politics under the reactionary emperor Francis II were now discreditable and dangerous and who had, moreover, never shown a like appreciation of any of the other fine arts. Many played instruments themselves well enough to be able to take their place beside professionals. Probably at no other time and in no other city was there such a high standard of amateur and semiprofessional music-making as in the Vienna of Beethoven's day.
As a composer, however, Beethoven still had many technical problems to overcome, and it soon became clear that Haydn was not the best person to help him. Outwardly their relations remained cordial; but Beethoven soon began taking extra lessons in secret. One of his teachers was the organist of St. Stephen's Cathedral, Johann Georg Albrechtsberger, a learned contrapuntist of the old school who equipped him with the comprehensive technique that he needed. He also studied vocal composition with Antonio Salieri, the imperial Kappellmeister. By 1794, when Haydn had left for his second visit to London, there was no longer any question of Beethoven's returning to Bonn, which was then in French hands. The elector himself had left, and consequently Beethoven's subsidy came to an end. But he had no need to worry for, apart from what he was able to earn by teaching and playing, he received free board and lodgings from Prince Lichnowsky. The year 1795 marked Beethoven's first public appearance as a pianist in Vienna. He played a concerto (No. 2, Opus 19) of his own and one by Mozart and also took part in a benefit concert for Haydn. More important still, his Three Trios for Piano, Violin, and Cello, Opus 1, were published with a long list of aristocratic subscribers. In the next three years he undertook concert tours in Berlin and Prague and might have traveled more widely still had the international situation permitted. In 1800 he launched a public concert on the grand scale, in which one of his own piano concerti, the Septet (Opus 20), and the First Symphony were given, together with works by Haydn and Mozart. The event contributed a great deal to the spread of Beethoven's fame abroad.
The turn of the century concluded what is generally referred to as Beethoven's first period, although some usefully extend it to the summer of 1802, when he wrote the "Heilgenstadt Testament" (see below); during this period his art stayed mainly within the bounds of 18th-century technique and ideas. Most of his published works during that time are for the piano, alone or with other instruments, important exceptions being the String Trio in E-flat Major, Opus 3; the Three String Trios, Opus 9; the Six String Quartets, Opus 18; and the First Symphony. Beethoven extended his range slowly and methodically, but he was still a piano composer par excellence.

They are accented with lustrous simulated pearls wired to their gold-tone backings. Measure a noticeable 1 1/4" across. Condition is excellent showing little or no wear to any of the components.

Nigeria - Church Attack
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — An army official says gunmen shot dead at least 19 people in a Christian church in central Nigeria.
Lt. Col. Gabriel Olorunyomi told The Associated Press on Tuesday that gunmen stormed a church building where worshippers had gathered to pray late Monday in the town of Otite, near the city of Okene.
He said the pastor was killed and "many" were injured but he could not immediately say how many because they had been taken to different hospitals.
He said authorities are still searching for people who may have run into nearby bushes.
He declined to say who they suspected and there has been no claim of responsibility for the attack.
However, a radical Islamist sect has claimed responsibility for several church attacks in Nigeria this year.

You might think the coalition government would have some way to go to match Lord Mandelson's capacity for spin. But on economic matters, they outscore even the maestro
John Eatwell: After such a financial debacle, the tired old regulatory priorities must finally be binned
In my view: An important part of Britain's economic future is being determined by a committee sitting in Basel, Switzerland. John Eatwell explains.
The economic case for Britain adopting the euro was made on 15 August 1971. On that day President Nixon ordered the US Treasury Secretary to stop selling gold at the fixed rate of $35 an ounce. At a stroke the linchpin of the post-war fixed exchange rate system was removed. After two years of confusion that system collapsed completely. The major currencies have been floating against one another ever since.

Conn. AG: Better Business Bureau favors members
The Better Business Bureau, which has 122 local bureaus across the U.S. and Canada, announced in 2009 that it was adopting the letter-grade system.
It says the method gives better information to consumers as they seek details on companies' service, response to complaints, quality of products and other factors.
According to literature on its national and branch websites, the BBB says members are not guaranteed higher ratings. However, it says, those companies are closely reviewed when they apply - and that, along with their pledge to follow BBB standards, gives the BBB more confidence and information, which might affect the ratings.

MARY JANE JOHNSON IS GROOMED to the nines. Radiant, chignoned, draped in a taupe silk pantsuit, Amarillo's five-foot-nine-inch opera sensation deserves the distinction once given to her by a fellow Texan, gossip maven Liz Smith: "She is easily the most gorgeous soprano in the world of classical music." Even if you haven't seen the competition, it's hard not to agree. Dominating the leather sofa in her living room, she's enthusing about her recent Atlantic City concert with supertenor Luciano Pavarotti, who discovered her fifteen years ago. They did a few duets ("We were really cooking for the Otello"), and each sang solos. One reviewer wrote that Johnson's "If I Loved You" was "a perfect delight." Pavarotti's manager, Herbert Breslin, told her afterward that she was "the hidden secret in this business." But for Johnson, one moment stood out: "I didn't know I had 'em in the palm of my hand until I took a breath during the 'Vilja' solo and could have heard a pin drop."
She recalls being so wired after the concert—which played to a crowd of 14,000—that she hit a casino at two in the morning to work off her adrenaline. There, she was pretty much ignored by change girls and cocktail waitresses, their chests decorated with Pavarotti pins, as she socked quarters into the slot machines. "It was hysterical," she says. "Here I'd just sung with him, sung my tits off, and no one recognizes me."
Not being recognized by the cocktail waitresses is par for the course for opera singers like Johnson (who refuses to divulge her age, though she admits to being in her forties). "I've made it at a certain level," she insists. And, indeed, she has played the world's major houses: La Scala in Milan, Paris Bastille, and Chicago Lyric, among others. Her voice has been called commanding, steely, and mighty. She herself says she doesn't know anyone who "soars" better than she does. As Tosca she has been praised for beginning the famous aria "Vissi d'arte" while seated and ending on her knees with no loss of power or range; citing the spectacle, the Wall Street Journal compared her to "the great past interpreters of this role." Yet Johnson has her critics, who've described her soprano as acid and strident. "A lot of people prefer a generic sound," Johnson concedes, "because they say, 'Oh, that's safe. It won't offend anyone.' My voice is not a safe sound. Either you like it or you don't."
Johnson has also had to endure the sort of lesser-light treatment accorded all but the best-known stars. Take her Metropolitan Opera debut as Emilia Marty in Janacek's The Makropulos Case last January, where she did the next-to-last show of the run in place of legendary soprano Jessye Norman. Not only was she denied a rehearsal on stage or with the orchestra, but she had to perform with an enormous billboard of Norman's face looming behind her. "I just ignored it back there," Johnson says, stiffening her posture. Did she find it intimidating? "Insulting." Glowing notices salved her pride, though: One said she "managed to suggest Marty's irresistible sexual allure, a quality absent from Norman's mannered reading of the part." Amarillo's public television station filmed dozens of bouquets being delivered to Johnson at the Met for the one-hour documentary Mary Jane Johnson: From the Heart, set to air on many PBS stations August 25.
And yet for a woman who outperformed one of the great divas, Johnson seems oddly trammeled. She doesn't get the high-profile recital tours and the recording contracts; more important, she doesn't get the regular engagements she wants at the major houses in the United States, or even in Texas. "You get frustrated," she grouses. "Why am I packing my bags and traveling halfway across the world to be recognized and appreciated? I don't know that I'm perceived the way I need to be perceived."
It's hard, of course, not to perceive Johnson in a certain way when she describes an operatic feat as singing her "tits off." Her colorful turns of phrase, and her pride in her Panhandle roots, have perhaps done her wrong in a business that prizes a more subdued air. Typical write-ups note that her English is "full of Texas" or attribute her soigné vestments to the fact that "a Texas lady simply does not appear in public without looking her best." The cliché is certainly bolstered by her signature role, the lead in Puccini's Fanciulla del West ("Girl of the Golden West"). The 1910 melodrama centers on Minnie, a comely innkeeper in the Sierra Nevadas who packs a pistol. "Not many people can sing that role," says Patrick Smith, the editor of Opera News. "It has to have a certain verisimilitude, and I think Mary Jane is able to bring it off so that you believe her."
It certainly doesn't hurt that there are weird similarities between Johnson and Minnie—the weirdest being that Johnson is also an innkeeper. She and her husband, David, own Galbraith House, an Amarillo bed and breakfast that was designated a Texas Historical Landmark in 1992. Brimming with memorabilia from Mary Jane's opera career—including the Emmy she won for a 1982 PBS broadcast of La Bohème—the five-bedroom house was the Johnsons' residence from 1977 to 1989. Another Minnie—Mary Jane coincidence: People just don't get why they live in the hinterlands. Minnie's lover declares, "How curious to live … far away from all the world!" Mary Jane, meanwhile, keeps house in the Panhandle even though she spends about two hundred days a year on the road. Why? "I can't ask my husband to go to Italy! What's he going to do there? He could do something in New York, but I wouldn't want to raise my kids there. Besides, I'm used to no trees."
But while Mary Jane scores as Minnie, Fanciulla has never sold well in the U.S. "I think in part we are too familiar with the Wild West image," Patrick Smith suggests. Johnson, for one, didn't anticipate that her

Review by:
N. S. Charles
on June 22, 2012 :
I hate you Delilah, for being a dirty lady and something of an amazing tease. If this is just a taste of what you have in store, I shudder to think what readers will be in for when the next chapter arrives...and the next.
The story is tried and true, "Fifty" tested and approved. It doesn't read like that amateur writing though. Delilah Fawkes presents a straitlaced, engulfing prologue to something that can only end hot and steamy.
Isabeau's characterization comes off strong, but Chase Drake is the star. He's dominant, and though Isabeau doesn't come off as a submissive, his nature is more-telling than the words can display. Coming out of dreams, movies and novels, you know Chase Drake before you know him. You just know what to expect, and Delilah's characterization of a billionaire expecting the world doesn't disappoint.
Bravo, Miss Fawkes.

Industry Perspective and Opportunities in Assertion-Based Verification with SystemVerilog Training.
A wealth of material has been published over the past fifteen years specifically related to the theory and technical aspects of property languages and assertion-based techniques. However, as any field of study matures, it becomes necessary to determine if the theories, algorithms, and concepts have grown beyond the bounds of research to become an integral solution to a problem in industry.
To understand any solution, it is necessary to understand the problem. For example, debugging, on average, has grown to consume more than 60 percent of today's SoC verification effort. Clearly, this is a topic the industry must address, and some organizations have done just that. Those that have adopted an assertion-based verification (ABV) methodology have seen a significant reduction in simulation debugging time (as much as 50 percent) due to improved observability.
Join Harry Foster for this seminar that will provide an industry perspective on the successful adoption of ABV, as well as providing a roadmap for evolving an organization ABV capabilities. In addition there will be focused sessions on Advanced Debugging with Assertions, Effective Coverage using Assertions and a Basic SystemVerilog Training with SystemVerilog Guru Cliff Cummings.

Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: Finance Minister K. Rosaiah has challenged Telugu Desam president N. Chandrababu Naidu to accompany him to any stock-point or fair price shop of his choice in the State to verify the quality of rice being supplied under the subsidised scheme.
If Mr. Naidu was not able to visit to a stock-point due to his 'Mee Kosam' yatra, he should at least name the fair price shop where he found the rice of inferior quality.
'Misleading public'
Rebutting a charge made by Mr Naidu that the rice supplied under the scheme was found to be unfit for consumption, the Minister said if the TDP president failed to prove his charge, the government would believe that he was misleading the public.
At a press conference here on Tuesday, Mr Rosaiah said Andhra Pradesh always surrendered fine as well as common varieties of rice to the Food Corporation of India towards its procurement.
The FCI, in turn, released a mix of these two varieties to the subsidised scheme.
The rice available in the State was normally of good quality.
There was not a single complaint from white cardholders on this score, the Minister said.
In contrast, it was during his tenure as Chief Minister that very poor quality rice from Punjab was supplied leading to widespread protests, Mr. Rosaiah alleged.

The Fast Five: Our favorite local-focused multiplayer games
Posted on March 6, 2014 AT 04:13pm
Each week, the EGM Staff bring you The Fast Five—in which we choose a topic related in some way to the week's news, and five editors pick their top answer to the question.
The Setup
In preparation of our review of TowerFall Ascension going up tomorrow, we've been playing a lot of the game here in the EGM offices. And, let us give you a piece of advice: never, ever break out a game like that when you're on a major deadline, because it's sure to be a productivity killer. In an era where "multiplayer" has become so synonymous with playing against faceless gamers across the internet, it's nice to remember how much fun you can have with a few controllers, some friends, and one TV.
The Question
What are some of our favorite local-focused multiplayer games, and why? Once you've read our responses, let us know your answer in the comments below!
There have been many great local multiplayer games to come and go throughout my life, but one of my fondest memories is of WrestleMania 2000 for the N64. When I picked up my copy—on launch day, something I rarely do—my friends and I didn't play the game, we lived it. Each of us put long hours into creating our own wrestlers, and every week the latest adventures of our e-fed would play out—sometimes providing far more exciting results than what the WWF or WCW could offer us. Epic matches were held. Title belts changed hands. Alliances were formed and broken. This incredible sense of community and storytelling existed in my circle of friends—because of what we made out of the game, not what the game or its developer forced upon us. To this day, that still stands as one of my favorite local multiplayer experiences ever.
For me, the best local multiplayer experiences were with Super Smash Bros. on the N64. Many a Saturday were spent with me and some friends from middle school trying to knock each other into oblivion in Saffron City. My best character back then was Pikachu, as I rained thunder from the sky constantly. After enough wins, my friends finally banned me from using the electric rodent, but their frustration only grew when I was able to switch to Fox McCloud and still rule the roost with his blinding speed and quick kicks!
The fact that none of my colleagues picked Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64 should make them feel deeply ashamed. The first-person shooter has pretty much become the dominant genre in modern console multiplayer, and Goldeneye started that phenomenon. Was it janky to control with one analog stick? Sure, but we learned to live with it, making up our own set of rules (No Oddjob!) and developing strategies to get around the limitations. While the game's modern reputation might be more about nostalgia than enduring quality, when the memories were so good, I have a hard time complaining.
Many days of my childhood were spent playing Crash Team Racing competitively with the help of the PlayStation's multitap. Nothing can replicate the joy I received from seeing my friend's face after a perfectly aimed Bowling Bomb took them out on the finish line, giving me the victory. Or, the dread when I noticed in the corner of the screen that someone had a Super Clock or a Warp Orb (more affectionately known as a Blue Ball) when I was out in front. Many a bruised arm was received during an average CTR session, and it pains me to think that some kids will grow up never knowing what it's like to play in that kind of heated—yet incredibly fun—environment.

Human Emissions Rise 2 Percent Despite GFC
Despite the economic effects of the global financial crisis (GFC), carbon dioxide emissions from human activities rose 2 percent in 2008 to an all-time high of 1.3 tons of carbon per capita per year, according to a paper published Nov. 17 in Nature Geoscience.
The paper "" by scientists from the internationally respected climate research group, the Global Carbon Project (GCP) "" says rising emissions from fossil fuels last year were caused mainly by increased use of coal but there were minor decreases in emissions from oil and deforestation.
"The current growth in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is closely linked to growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP)," said one of the paper's lead authors, CSIRO's Dr Mike Raupach.
"CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion are estimated to have increased 41 percent above 1990 levels with emissions continuing to track close to the worst-case scenario of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
"There will be a small downturn in emissions because of the GFC, but anthropogenic emissions growth will resume when the economy recovers unless the global effort to reduce emissions from human activity is accelerated."
The GCP estimates that the growth in emissions from developing countries increased in part due to the production of manufactured goods consumed in developed countries. In China alone, 50 percent of the growth in emissions from 2002 to 2005 was attributed to the country's export industries.
According to the GCP's findings, atmospheric CO2 growth was about four billion metric tons of carbon in 2008 and global atmospheric CO2 concentrations reached 385 parts per million "" 38 percent above pre-industrial levels.
According to co-author and GCP Executive Director, CSIRO's Dr Pep Canadell, the findings also indicate that natural carbon sinks, which play an important role in buffering the impact of rising emissions from human activity, have not been able to keep pace with rising CO2 levels.
"On average only 45 percent of each year's emissions remain in the atmosphere," Dr Canadell said.
"The remaining 55 percent is absorbed by land and ocean sinks.
"However, CO2 sinks have not kept pace with rapidly increasing emissions, as the fraction of emissions remaining in the atmosphere has increased over the past 50 years. This is of concern as it indicates the vulnerability of the sinks to increasing emissions and climate change, making natural sinks less efficient 'cleaners' of human carbon pollution."
More than 30 experts from major international climate research institutions contributed to the GCP's annual Global Carbon Budget report "" now considered a primary reference on the human effects on atmospheric CO2 for governments and policy-makers around the world.

text: BOSTON – Kevin Garnett changed Doc Rivers' life, changed forever the way people will remember him as a basketball coach. Rivers is a champion now, a paragon of his profession and there's never been a day on the job he hasn't understood that Garnett made it possible. This is the reason the tears welled within his eyes beneath that 17th championship banner in the Garden on Friday night, the reason that he squeezed Garnett on the sideline in the final seconds.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. â?? Graeme McDowell could think of no better way to head home for a 10-week holiday that to win for the first time in two years.
And he couldnâ??t have found a better place to end the drought than Sherwood Country Club.
Even with the course playing longer than ever in a light rain, McDowell closed with a 4-under 68 on Sunday and held off Keegan Bradley with a pair of superb short-game shots that carried him to a three-shot win in the World Challenge.
It was the 10th time in 12 rounds at Sherwood that McDowell has shot in the 60s, and he extended his dominance on the course that Jack Nicklaus carved out among the foothills of Conejo Valley. In three appearances, McDowell has won twice and was runner-up.
But this one was meaningful in its own right.
â??This really caps off my season,â?ť McDowell said. â??We try not to put winning on a pedestal, but this one feels very sweet because itâ??s been a grind all year.â?ť
McDowell won for the first time since he beat Tiger Woods in a playoff at Sherwood to close out a dream season in 2010 that included his first major at the U.S. Open and the winning point for Europe at the Ryder Cup.
This win followed a year of frustration. He played in the final group of the U.S. Open and British Open but came up short, and he lost some enthusiasm going into tournaments late in the year. He talked all week about a 10-week break, some of it in Northern Ireland and the rest in Orlando, Fla., where he just built a new house and heâ??s opening a tavern outside the gates of Lake Nona.
It was the perfect way to leave golf for the next few months.
Bradley, who was within one shot after a birdie on the fifth hole, closed with a 69. Bo Van Pelt had a 70 to finish third. Woods, the tournament host and five-time champion, was never in the picture. He didnâ??t make birdie until the 13th hole and shot 71 to tie for fourth.
Bradleyâ??s birdie on the 13th hole for a two-shot swing brought him within two shots with five holes to play. McDowell never let him get any closer, however. He hit a beautiful lag putt from 75 feet just off the green at No. 14 for an easy par, then hit a chip from behind the 17th green that he was hopeful of getting within 6 feet of the cup. The ball was one turn from falling for birdie.
