UPDATED: 8:33 a.m. Friday
Sunday night's power failure will go on the record books as Ohio's biggest storm-related blackout, FirstEnergy officials said Thursday.
The repair work was so widespread that officials worried they would run out of the yellow tape used to cordon off work sites.
About 13,300 Northeast Ohio customers remained without power early today. FirstEnergy officials continued to predict that power will be restored to all customers by Sunday, a week after the remnants of Hurricane Ike swept through the state, downing trees and power lines.
"We're working as fast as we can," FirstEnergy spokesman Mark Durbin said.
About 2,800 line workers were sent throughout Northeast Ohio. Pockets of people without power are widely dispersed, Durbin said, and that complicates the effort.
About 18,000 of the powerless customers were in the Cleveland area stretching from Avon to Ashtabula. Five thousand others were in Medina, Summit and Portage counties.
Throughout the state, 551,466 customers were without power Thursday afternoon, the Public Utility Commission of Ohio said, down from the more than 1.9 million left without power Sunday.
Part of the difficulty in getting electricity restored is that in some areas, like Bay Village, Lakewood and University Heights, power lines are in residents' back yards, Durbin said.
"We can't get back there with our trucks, so it means the workers have to put on climbing boots and belts and climb up poles to work on them, which is very slow," he said.
Crews are working in areas with downed wires first because of safety concerns, he said.
Power companies from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Michigan and other states sent equipment and workers to help in the cleanup.

New Finding Aids and a Complete Inventory Go OnlineTuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Over the past several months we've been working hard to put more of our finding aids online for our users. Until recently, we had approximately 45 finding aids online. Now there are about 110 finding aids online that are fully searchable. We have never had a complete inventory of our named collections available online for users, but now we do, with over 370 viewable alphabetically or by collection number. We will continue to add links to more finding aids in the coming weeks and months. Recently departed Digital Collections Librarian, David Conners, and David's interim replacement, Anne Moore, as well as several dedicated students, deserve thanks for putting our new finding aids and inventory online.
In related news, the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries (PACSCL) Finding Aids Page has gone live at the University of Pennsylvania. Containing finding aids recently processed as part of the CLIR-funded "Hidden Collections in the Philadelphia Area: A Consortial Processing and Cataloging Initiative," the site includes finding aids for 14 collections from Haverford and will continue to grow.

'Model congregation' finds new life
Twenty-five years ago, as a fledgling Jewish congregation took root and began to grow in Henrico County, it flourished first on the passion of its 40 founding families and their vision of a culture that was participatory, egalitarian, and child-inclusive.
As additional families flocked to the congregation and services began to outgrow the members' homes, Congregation Or Atid blossomed anew with a move to a building convenient to its membership – thanks to a helping hand from others in the community.
Since 1986, Or Atid has seen rabbis come and go and membership numbers ebb and flow, while weathering events from a building fire to a second move. But two things have remained constant as the congregation enters its second quarter-century enjoying an upward swing in membership, a dynamic new rabbi, and a newly refurbished synagogue: the passion of its members, and support from the outer community.
Ron Fink, a vice president at Or Atid and one of the original "Founding 40," has observed the transformation with delight. He remembers well the initial meetings in congregants' homes, and the move to the first building site on Parham Road – while it was still in use by West End Assembly of God (WEAG).
[WEAG] "needed a new facility, and while they were building the new church, we were allowed to move in," recalls Fink gratefully, adding that WEAG leaders bent over backwards to accommodate Or Atid's needs. "We had this Saturday-Sunday coexistence for a year."
Fink also has fond recollections of the early days, and of the bonds that formed among the founding members.
"It was such a tight community," he says. "It was interwoven into our lives. If you didn't show up for services one week, everyone would notice. They'd say, 'Oh my gosh, where's Ron?'"
Energy and spirit
Last month, Congregation Or Atid completed its move into a newly renovated facility on Patterson Avenue. And on August 1, the congregation officially welcomed Rabbi Royi Shaffin as its new spiritual leader.
In between the two moves, the congregation went through a number of "peaks and valleys," as Fink put it, that often afflict religious organizations.
From its membership peak of 240 families, the numbers had declined to less than half that. The children of the once- young families had grown up, and many parents had drifted away. In addition to the shrinking congregation (typical of many religious institutions these days), lagging attendance and turnover in rabbis, there were administrative issues, budget pressures, and maintenance problems with the aging building on Parham Road.
Among the remaining members, says Fink, there seemed to be a creeping malaise.
"Even founding-family members were saying it's not the place it used to be," says Fink. "The energy was lacking; people were missing something."
And so, one might say, the stage was set for Rabbi Shaffin.
Chosen after an extensive search that included interviews and weekend visits with candidates who led services, taught school and attended "Meet the Rabbi" socials, Shaffin might appear to be somewhat of a misfit for a congregation with Or Atid's 50-plus demographics.
At 37, he arrived from New Jersey wielding technological tools unfamiliar to most of the members, and wasted no time establishing a blog and launching a Twitter campaign, public Facebook page and congregational Facebook page as a means of engaging the public and building community.
But from the first, says Fink, "Age was absolutely no barrier. It was a marriage – it was a match. The thing we were most missing is what comes most naturally to him; he's injected so much energy and spirit.
"Just tying him to this chair is tough," adds Fink, gesturing toward Shaffin as he fidgets during an interview.
Who is intelligent?
As for Rabbi Shaffin, he saw in Or Atid a congregation in need of revitalization, but with the potential – and forward-thinking members – to achieve it.
"Many congregations of all denominations, become stale, routinized, ritualized – empty of meaning and spirituality," says Shaffin. "In the Conservative and Orthodox movements, there's a concentration on Jewish Law. In the Reform movement, it's about social action and changing the world for the better. In neither of those [missions] is mention of God.
"But it's all about connection to God," says Shaffin. "If you have done a ritual or a social action project, and it is devoid of God, then you've missed the point."
At Congregation Or Atid, says Shaffin, he met members who were hungry for that spiritual connection. "I received such a positive response to the way I conduct service, and to the way I view Judaism and the future of Judaism."
What's more, reflects Shaffin, he observed that Or Atid is a "learning congregation." Paraphrasing a principle from Jewish teachings, he recites, "Who is intelligent? The one who learns from every person."
"I heard the history," says Shaffin. "And [this congregation] has learned from its past, and learned from its present.
"I was looking for a synagogue with a future," concludes Shaffin. "And I believe this congregation is uniquely positioned. . . It's a model congregation of the 21st century – a congregation of visionaries."
Bursting at the seams
With the move to its new location – the former home of E. Carlton Wilton Properties on Patterson Avenue – Or Atid now has the flexibility to grow again. The space that was Wilton's loading dock has been transformed into an entryway, lined with bricks from the Parham Road building. In the space that was Wilton's warehouse is the sanctuary and multi-purpose room, which features retractable walls that allow expansion to a patio and the potential for tented space to accommodate large crowds.
And just as WEAG offered a hand up 25 years ago, community members and other organizations have stepped forward to help Or Atid with the transition to the new space.
Before the renovations on Patterson Avenue were complete, Jewish Community Center leaders told Or Atid members not to fret about the possibility of having to vacate the Parham Road facility (now owned by Richmond Montessori School) and do without meeting space.
"You'll have a roof," JCC leaders assured the congregation.
In addition, the members at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, located adjacent to Or Atid, have offered the use of their parking lot on High Holy Days.
On a tour of the repurposed building, Shaffin and Fink point with pride to a foyer highlighted by Jerusalem stone, a painting commissioned for the new space, and memorial plaques brought from the Parham Road site. The facility also boasts a full meat and dairy kitchen, and ample classroom space to house the congregation's nationally recognized school.
The Helen and Sam Kornblau Religious School, recognized as a "Framework for Excellence School," is the first and only religious school in the Commonwealth and one of only 88 schools in the nation to receive the honor from the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism.
In the multi-purpose room, Shaffin and Fink describe the growing crowds that are attending popular social events, such as the "Shabarbeques" celebrating the Sabbath.
As the congregation's growth cycle continues on its latest surge, says Fink, synagogue leaders are already looking at ways to expand the building – which was fashioned with that flexibility in mind.
"This synagogue can only go up," says Rabbi Shaffin. "It's going to be bursting at the seams."
"For me, as a founding member," reflects Fink, "this is bringing back the same feeling as when we were starting.
"I have a lot of pride in where we've come in 25 years."

Dawson Schlegel hears the reminders every day, whether at practice or before a game.
Get to the boards, he's constantly told.
Obviously, the message is getting through.
Solidly constructed, the 6-1, 185-pound junior unloaded a mighty double-double, pocketing 19 points and 18 rebounds as surging Millersburg popped neighboring Tri-Valley League playmate Halifax 66-49 Thursday night at pink-tinted Manning Gymnasium.
A "Pink Out" was held Thursday night, with the proceeds from a number of sales going on in the lobby going to the fight against breast cancer. Both sides also warmed up in pink T-shirts.
Logan Brosius continued his remarkable progress — the 6-4 senior was seriously injured in an automobile accident early last summer — by scoring 17 points to go with nine boards and five assists.
The Indians (9-8, 6-3) also picked up 10 points and nine boards from the multi-talented Christian Wenner. And, finally, 6-0 inside-outside threat Travis Lamereaux chimed in with nine points.
Hunter Hilinski, Matt Osenbach and Chris Scheib shared 36 points to lead Dan Bowman's scrappy Wildcats (6-10, 3-5).
Hilinski and Osenbach also grabbed 10 rebounds apiece.
Regardless, the night belonged to Schlegel.
And seeing his team's once-comfortable advantage dwindle to two points three times in the third — the last (38-36) on Scheib's finish with 1:44 to go — Schlegel responded by knocking down a foul-line jumper and canning a short baseline J set up by Brosius.
Halifax never recovered.
"I told them at the first timeout in the middle of the third quarter, 'There's no more Xs and Os,'`" Millersburg coach George Leader said. "It's about who wants it most. Our passing the last four games, they've been finding the open man.
"And finding the open man equals fun. That's unselfishness."
Just check out the 'Burg's 13 assists on 24 field goals.
Yet while the hustling Schlegel enjoyed a six-point sequence in the first half — the last deuce was a stickback of his own missed free throw, a freebie set up when he was hacked scoring on an offensive board — his main responsibility was to gobble everything he could.
With an emphasis on everything.
"Coach says at practice that's what I get paid for," said Schlegel, who had 10 points and 11 rebounds as Leader's high-octane Indians motored to a 32-24 halftime lead.
"When we're doing our 3-point drills and I'm missing all my 3-pointers, he says, 'He doesn't have to do this. His job is to rebound.'¤"
Something Schlegel does quite well.
In addition to his blue-collar efforts near the rim, Schlegel displayed a smooth stroke and soft yet dependable jumper. One that's highly effective from 16 feet and in.
"Our team was moving the ball around really well and usually that's when I get my best [opportunities]," Schlegel admitted.
Whether on the perimeter or in the paint.
"Down low, I thought he played very well," Bowman said.
"He's kinda been lurking in the shadows of Logan and Christian, and has figured out that he's gonna get a lot of good looks if he just moves," said Indians chief George Leader, who thought Schlegel's four-point play in the first half perked up his entire club.
"And he was moving tonight to the ball. He had a lot of good looks."
So did Brosius, who netted 12 of his 17 points after the break. Nine — two treys sandwiched around a conventional three-point play — came down the stretch as the Indians opened things up.
Despite lugging a huge brace on his convalescing left leg, Brosius is a difficult matchup for opponents -- particularly those such as Halifax that rely on man-to-man defensive sets.
Not only can the senior use his length in the post, but he's also capable of tormenting foes from the perimeter. But step out on him defensively and he might just take one to the hole.
"He worked hard on his 3-point shot coming out of his injury," Leader said. "Because he wasn't really sure he was gonna be able to get to the square. So he worked extremely hard at that part of his game --and then if the other part came back, we're only to the better.
"And it did. God bless him."
Plug in the lively Lamereaux, who can get to the tin and burn opponents from deep, and the Indians have a number of threats. Brosius. Schlegel. Larry Loncar.
Haven't even mentioned Wenner, who several weeks back was lighting up 'Burg opponents. Absolutely scorching them.
Thursday night, he played a different role as others such as Schlegel and Brosius took turns wandering into the spotlight.
Wenner also was busy just prior to the game, reading a tribute to Leader during a brief ceremony recognizing the Millersburg coach. Leader claimed career victory No. 300 on Monday night at Line Mountain -- his alma mater.
"We've been talking that we want four guys in double figures each night and it doesn't matter who," Leader said. "And I really like the way Christian has taken on the role of being a facilitator.
"He was scoring mid-20s for a few games and he's been drawing attention. Now that really helps the other guys to get open -- if they hustle. And they're really hustling," Leader added.
"When we move the ball, we're good. When we don't, we're not."
"[Wenner] got the other people involved, did a nice job of that," Bowman said. "Cause I think Chris Scheib [who drew Wenner] is one of the better defenders in our league. He did a nice job on him."
"Brosius, I thought, did a nice job, too. Real nice job."
As a result, the 'Burg sits above .500 for the first time.
"Lately, we've been on a pretty good roll," Schlegel said. "We're just trying to run out the season without another loss."
"He's got a nice team," said Bowman, who grew up in the same Trevorton neighborhood as Leader. "It's always hard to coach against him, you know that.
"I helped him out the one year [during Leader's 16-season run at Halifax] and he grew up right up the street from me and I went to his dad for my haircuts when I was a kid."
And while Millersburg is trying to wrench its way into the District 3-A playoffs -- the Indians checked in at No. 10 (12 go) when the night started -- so, too, are Bowman's Wildcats.
"We're hoping," Bowman said of his club, which sits ninth in 3-AA (only 10 advance). "We need some help yet.
"There's some winnable games coming up, so we'll see how it goes. The kids are still playing hard, and that's all I can ask of them."
In addition to Scheib's defensive work on Wenner, the gritty Osenbach displayed the ability to get into the paint off the bounce and cause problems. Hilinski, Halifax's tallest player at 6-2, hopped off the bench to bag 11 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter.
Wouldn't be enough against the Indians, who won for the sixth time in seven games.
"They should have a nice team there for districts, I think, because they've gotta couple different scoring options -- not just one or two," Bowman said of Leader's Indians.
"They've got a couple kids that can score."
And rebound.

A family fight over the cost of a facelift led Jefferson County sheriff's deputies to a Forestdale home Thursday night.
Investigators said the husband called the sheriff's dispatch and reported that he wanted his wife evicted from their home.
When deputies arrived, the husband said he was mad at his wife for having a facelift. The husband said he thought she should have used a friend of his who would have done the procedure much cheaper, said sheriff's spokesman Lt. Randy Christian.
There was no sign of domestic violence and no injuries, but Christian said the couple was highly intoxicated.
"I don't know that we have ever been called on to referee a facelift, but I think we deferred to the wife on this one," Christian said. "If the old saying you get what you pay for has merit, you sure don't want to go cheap on a facelift. That could cause a lot more alcohol consumption down the road. "

Making an impact could mean being a great teacher whose students succeed and are engaged in the classroom. It could mean recycling for a healthier world. It could mean volunteering to help those in need. Talking dollars and cents, Michigan food and agriculture systems are making a $91.4 billion impact on our state, along with all the people making impacts as part of those systems.
Michigan State University recently released an updated study on the Economic Impact of Michigan's Food and Agriculture System and it is showing these sectors are growing. In fact this new figure shows a 51.9 percent increase since their 2006 study. This includes the farm sector, with a total impact of $13 billion, as well as processing, food wholesale and retail outlets. The study also shows that food and agriculture account for 923,000 jobs in our state.
Walk through your food chain and think what processes it went through before it gets your mouth. An apple from the supermarket came from an apple grower, was shipped, packaged and moved onto a wholesaler, then found its way to your retailer. It's much simpler for that whole food, but what about breakfast cereal or going out to eat at a restaurant? Our food goes through several hands before touching our forks, and all of those people along the way benefit. They work as farmers, food scientists, grocers, waiters and in many more careers, over 300, getting farm products to your table.
What a great process with a multiplier effect for our economy. While sometimes consumers' questions can get lost in the chain, that chain also means commerce, innovations, and growth for our state.
The farm community is striving to match the milk to the cow and all of the other wonderful food items on your plate to the farmer who produced it. But we are also thankful for all of those innovators taking our product beyond their original commodity. Whey from milk is now available in protein bars. Pharmaceuticals are made from plant materials. The list goes on.
Tracing back to all kinds of farmers in just one recipe, pizza incorporates farmers from all food groups. Dairy, pork, beef, wheat, tomato and all other toppings in between have a farmer to connect with. No matter what toppings you love, the dough can make or a break the pizza. Try this recipe, which is also freezable, for your next pizza night.
Recipe: Basic Pizza Dough
Yield: enough dough for 2 medium pizzas or 4 calzone
1/2 cup warm water
21/4 tsp. instant yeast
4 cups (22 oz.) bread flour, plus more for dusting
11/2 tsp. salt
11/4 cup water, at room temperature
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Measure the warm water into a 2-cup liquid measuring cup. Sprinkle the yeast over the top. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the bread flour and salt, mixing briefly to blend. Measure the room temperature water into the measuring cup with the yeast-water mixture. With the mixer on low speed, pour in the yeast-water mixture as well as the olive oil. Mix until a cohesive dough is formed. Switch to the dough hook. Knead on low speed until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, 11/2-2 hours.
Press down the dough to deflate it. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces. Form each piece of dough into a smooth, round ball. (If freezing the dough, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze at this point.) Cover with a damp cloth. Let the dough relax for at least 10 minutes but no longer than 30 minutes.
To bake, preheat the oven and pizza stone to 500° F for at least 30 minutes. Transfer the dough to your shaping surface, lightly sprinkled with cornmeal. Shape the dough with lightly floured hands. Brush the outer edge lightly with olive oil. Top as desired. Bake until the crust is golden brown, and cheese is bubbling, 8-12 minutes.
For freezing, mix up the dough as usual and let it rise as normal. After dividing the dough into two equal portions, wrap each tightly in plastic wrap and store inside a freezer-safe bag, and transfer to the freezer immediately. The double layer is important. Even after the dough is moved to the freezer, it will continue to rise a bit before the rise is completely suspended. It always, always pops through the plastic wrap so the extra layer of protection is needed to prevent exposure. Freeze the dough until it is ready to be used. The day you plan to use the dough, transfer it to the refrigerator in the morning to thaw in time for dinner that evening. (The dough that has been frozen tastes every bit as good as fresh, so it is incredibly convenient to have available for a quick, throw-together meal.

Shaun Johnson scored with the last play of a pulsating semi-final to put holders New Zealand into the World Cup final and break England hearts with a 20-18 victory at Wembley.
England looked to have done enough to dethrone the world champions after coming from 14-8 down to lead 18-14 with a 67th-minute try from man of the match Sam Burgess but the Kiwis had the last say.
Twenty-year-old wing sensation Roger Tuivasa-Sheck had earlier scored two tries, taking his total for the tournament to eight, to give the Kiwis a six-point lead but England displayed exceptional character to put themselves in a winning position.
McNamara gambled on a new half-back pairing of Gareth Widdop and Kevin Sinfield after axing Rangi Chase and he will be delighted with both players' contribution.
However, England's heroes were front-row pair Burgess and James Graham, who battled manfully to lay a victory platform, while full-back Sam Tomkins grew into the game to impose himself on attack.
It all began so promisingly when Burgess took a short pass from Graham and got O'Loughlin over for his third try in 11 Tests for his country.
Sinfield kicked the conversion and added a penalty on 24 minutes to put his side into an 8-0 lead.
The Kiwis, who had cruised untroubled into the last four, were suddenly behind for the first time in the tournament but their response was to produce a subliminal moment that got them right back in the contest.
Jason Nightingale palmed Kieran Foran's kick back from the left-hand corner and the New Zealanders moved the ball across the full width of the pitch.
Issac Luke looked to have ruined the move with a wild pass that was sailing into touch but centre Dean Whare brilliantly kept the ball in play for Tuivasa-Sheck to claim his first try.
Johnson kicked the conversion and levelled the scores just before the break with a penalty.
England found themselves under pressure at the start of the second half after conceding a string of penalties and they soon fell behind for the first time.
Johnson and Locke combined to get the ever-dangerous Tuivasa-Sheck into space and he produced a devastating finish for his second try.
Johnson was wide with the conversion attempt but made it 14-8 on 52 minutes with a penalty awarded for an obstruction by Widdop on Locke.
Referee Ben Cummins awarded five penalties against England in the first 15 minutes of the second half but when they finally got their hands on the ball they immediately scored their second try.
Graham once more demonstrated his slick ball-playing skills and combined with Sinfield to get centre Kallum Watkins slicking through a gap in the New Zealand defence.
Sinfield was off target for the first time but the try breathed fresh confidence into England as the crowd came to life.
O'Loughlin dropped Graham's pass short of the line and left winger Ryan Hall looked certain to score when put into a one-on-one situation but he lost his footing on the surface.
With Widdop, Sinfield and Tomkins growing into the game, England suddenly looked full of invention and it was no surprise when they regained the lead on 66 minutes.
Sinfield's pass to Burgess was timed to perfection to get the former Bradford man into a gap and he charged over for England's third try.
Sinfield's third goal put his side into a four-point lead and they almost scored again when second rower Ben Westwood found a gap and stretched out for the line only to lose his grip on the ball.
It proved a costly miss as the Kiwis piled on the pressure in the last 10 minutes.
England looked to have done enough to hold on for a famous victory when, in the last play of the pulsating match, Johnson went past Sinfield as he rushed to close down the play and went through a yawning gap to score the most important try of his career.

Seen Around Town
By Lynda Millner
La Fiesta Del Museo
About 300 fiesteros converged on the Santa Barbara Historical Museum to enjoy the flavor of Fiesta early in the beautifully restored Spanish-style courtyard. It was alive with color. The tablecloths were in all the primary colors of a box of crayons – red, yellow, green, and blue centered with Mexican sombreros. The fountain was splashing near the new landscaping. Guests entered through a gallery where they couldn't miss the silent auction while checking in and added to the colorful scene.
The bars were busy as everyone mixed and mingled before watching Spirit of Fiesta Alina Gabriela Rey and Junior Spirit of Fiesta Marissa Cordero (age 10) perform. When they danced the Sevillianas it took me back to my years in Spain. That is what everyone danced at the Ferias – not just the entertainers.
The Epicurean Cowboy catered the Fiesta buffet and we danced to the Jeff Elliott Band. This favorite fiesta party of many was headed up by Marilyn (Missy) DeYoung; her husband, Patrick, was Master of Ceremonies. Some of her committee attending were Carolyn Amory-Peck, Barbara Briggs-Anderson, Molly Dolle, Beverley Jackson, Melinda Mars, Eileen Mielko, Janet Sands, Penny Bianchi, April Walstad, Carol Doane, Lorinda Johnson, Cicely Wheelon, Patty Weber, Barbara Tomicki and Robin Schutte. Executive Director David Bisol, President of the Board of Trustees Ed Sands and the DeYoungs greeted all the guests. La Presidenta Kelly Magne added to the atmosphere in her Spanish dress.
During the party, David Olivera related the story of tri tip – a cut of meat known only to Santa Barbara County. It seemed appropriate for Fiesta when there are so many tri tip barbeques. "My grandfather and great grandfather," David began, "said the butchers used to grind the tri tip cut into hamburger." He then explained that "[My grandparents] asked to buy the piece whole for the same price and the butchers wouldn't have to bother grinding." Voila! The birth of tri tip. It's a good story.
Viva la Fiesta! Viva! Viva! Viva!
Carmen Jones and Marilyn Horne
Are you old enough to remember the l954 musical "Carmen Jones" with Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte in brand new Cinemascope? I was surprised to learn that "our very own" Marilyn Horne was the voice for Ms Dandridge, the first black female ever nominated for an Academy Award. Marilyn was only 20 years old at the time. It was a big deal!
The Music Academy of the West (MAW) invited donors who contribute $2,500 or more annually to the council towards scholarships for the students summer program, to view the classic film at the Marjorie Luke Theatre. As Chair of the Council of Contributors, Georgia Lynn told the audience, "It is the most sought after program in the world for classical students because of full scholarships."
To entice us further we were treated to a Q & A with the ever-gracious Marilyn, conducted by Mashey Bernstein (UCSB Professor in the Film and Media Studies Department) followed by a decadent dessert reception. As Mashey said, "The highlight of the summer program at the Academy is like summer camp without mosquitoes and bad food." Mashey remembered seeing "Carmen Jones" as an opera with his mom in Dublin, Ireland. He told us that Dandridge had a life similar to Marilyn Monroe's, dying at age 43 of suicide or an overdose.
Ms Horne confessed, "I still sit and critique myself, but I was a pretty good singer." Modestly stated, since she's considered one of the great operatic voices of the world. Santa Barbara is lucky to have her as head of the summer program at MAW where she was once a student.
When asked why her friends call her Jackie, she replied, "Because my older brother wanted a baby boy." When Mashey wanted to know, "What is your most valuable possession?" she answered, "Grandchildren." Then, "When you meet God in heaven what would you like him to say?" Her response, "Oh, Jackie, you done good!"
We think so too.
The interior furnishings for Hospice Santa Barbara were done by architect Barry Berkus's daughter-in-law Dana Berkus of Dana Berkus Designs.

HOLYOKE - If you shut out the din of what organizers say is 400,000-plus people celebrating the Irish culture at today's 60th annual St. Patrick's Parade, you can hear some interesting stories.
Today was a day of long-standing tradition for untold thousands, but for many it was also a day of firsts.
Doris Renaud and Janice Proulx, of Holyoke, said today was the first parade they've come to in five years. They arrived at 9:30 a.m., a few hours before the marchers kicked off at noon, when Proulx's son-in-law dropped them off.
They had parked their car on a side street last night to try to outwit the monstrous traffic.
"You've got to do that the day of the parade," Proulx laughed.
The women stopped coming to the parade because, after their respective children stopped marching with the Holyoke High School band, they said there was no reason. But, "We haven't been in a few years and it was a nice day," said Proulx.
Even so, they were bundled up in sweaters and blankets against the chilly day belied by the bright sunshine.
Also bringing the women to the overflowing streets was family friend Donna Bresnahan, of Chicopee, who needed help decorating her sister's house in honor of her daughter, Colleen Bresnahan, who sits on the Colleen Court.
A banner strung across the porch shows three pictures of Colleen Bresnahan and the inscription "Iss far vue-chonn nah vith san du-ill," which in Gaelic means, roughly, "It is better to try than to hope," said Donna Bresnahan.
"It's an accomplishment for her," she said. "Whether she's wearing the crown or not, she's still the queen."
Far from the Bresnahan clan sat William MacKinnon, of Northampton, who had never been to the parade before.
MacKinnon came by himself because his family members were all either sick or working, he said.
"I figured I'd just come for the festivities," he said. "My only regret is that I don't have a blanket and gloves."
MacKinnon grew up in Pittsfield and joined the Army in 1986. He was stationed in Alaska. He returned to the area last year, he said.
"Even growing up in Pittsfield, I heard this was the big parade," he said.
MacKinnon shares something with 83-year-old Holyoke native William Glidden, who has never seen the parade here, either.
Glidden moved to a Catholic order in Minnesota called the Crosier Community, where he still lives, weeks before the inaugural parade in 1952. This year, he's visiting his home city for his niece's wedding and said he was excited to see the parade.
"It was certainly spectacular," said Glidden. "I'm going to try to get back next year if I can."
"I'm glad they asked me to stay," he said of his family. "I've only ever read about it and heard about it."

- Scottish Art
Lord Braxfield was said to be the best lawyer in Scotland, an expert in intricate legal questions arising out of the 1745 Rising. His later fame owes more to his reputation as a 'hanging judge'. Reactionary in politics and a hard drinker, he was notorious for uttering such memorable phrases as 'Hang a thief when he's young, and he'll no steal when he's auld'. Raeburn painted Braxfield when he was dying, and little more than a shadow of the man described in his prime as being like 'a formidable blacksmith'.

Free talk at REI on Victorian health and fitness
Many think of fitness and the pursuit of good health as thoroughly modern concerns, but Victorian Americans were fitness buffs and gym rats, too, in their own fashion. Our preoccupation with physical activity has its roots in the mid-1800s, when large numbers of American took up calisthenics, gymnastics, and weightlifting for physical, mental and even moral improvement. You can get some inspiration, or maybe even amusement, from these early fitness junkies at a free talk, "Exercise and Health in Victorian America," starting at 7 p.m. Monday, May 21, at REI-Downtown Seattle, at 222 Yale Ave. N.

A bill sponsored by Senator Donald Norcross (D-Camden/Gloucester) that will permit the use of service dogs in school for students who are eligible for special education programs and services for certain developmental disabilities was passed by the Senate Education Committee.
This legislation (S1797), similar to laws permitting seeing-eye dogs for blind students, would allow students with autism or other developmental disabilities to bring certified service dogs into school to assist with their learning needs. Parents of eligible students would be required to receive written recommendation from a physician, establishing the need for a medically-recommended dog.
"By allowing children to use medically-recommended service dogs in school, we are taking a large step towards making sure our students can reach their educational potential," said Senator Norcross. "Every student in New Jersey should be afforded the same opportunity."
A recent study from the University of Montreal showed that trained service dogs can help reduce anxiety and enhance the socialization skills of children with autism-related disorders. It also reported that parents experienced less problematic behaviors from their child at home when a dog was present.
The bill unanimously passed the committee and now heads to the State Senate for a vote.

MUSKEGON, MI – The Muskegon City Commission quickly and without debate approved a $55 million spending plan for all city operations in 2013-14.
The only comment at a public hearing Tuesday, June 11 before the unanimous commission vote was for commissioners to put more resources toward crime fighting by hiring more police officers for the streets.
Commissioners agreed with Robert Jennings of 3553 Marina View Point in the Harbour Towne condominium community that the city needs to be concerned about increasing crime and violence in the urban neighborhoods.
But commissioners didn't hesitate to adopt the status-quo spending plan presented by City Manager Bryon Mazade with the help of Finance Director Tim Paul and his staff. Commissioner Lea Markowski reminded residents that the commission has a chance to adjust its budget each quarter as circumstances and economic conditions change.
The budget included a $23.7 million general fund that has a great percentage of the resources going to public safety in terms of police and fire protection – more than 50 percent of the total at $12.3 million. The budget includes the same police staffing as last year: 63 patrol officers, 13 command officers and a director of public safety.
Mazade told commissioners that three or four officer positions are currently open but will be filled as soon as possible. Jennings said the city needs more police services.
"I do not think we have enough uniform officers for our rising crime rate," Jennings said, citing his own statistics that just Nelson Neighborhood has had an increase of 147 percent in "serious incidents" in the first four months of 2013 compared to last year. "We are a different city than we were two or three decades ago. Hire more officers and get them on the streets."
Commissioner Willie German Jr. said everyone on the commission shares Jennings concern with crime and the need for police services. But he said the Muskegon department is going beyond what can be expected for policing.
"I feel confident that we will be out patrolling in areas as the summer heats up," German said. "We all have to work together as a community. We are all stakeholders and if we see something out there we need to address it."
RELATED: Police, Muskegon County Prosecutor's Office to take 'aggressive' stance on area's gun violence
The city commission approved the budget on a 5-0 vote with Mayor Steve Gawron and Commissioner Sue Wierengo absent from Tuesday's meeting. Markowski questioned whether the commission wanted to wait until the two members returned to adopt the budget at its June 25 meeting, in time for the July 1 start of the new fiscal year.
The 2013-14 budget has no property tax increases but does call for a 10 percent hike in water rates by fall, although no sewer rate increase is in the budget. The city's finances remain stable with a $4.9 million general fund balance estimated at the end of the next fiscal year and a $1.7 million budget stabilization fund remains intact.
However, the general fund budget is carrying nearly a $600,000 deficit and with expected future revenues and expenditures the city would spend its fund balance down by 2018 and quickly create more than a $2 million deficit, Paul estimates.
"I know that the city commission will not let that happen," Mazade said at a budget presentation Monday, pointing to past difficult budget cuts that were made by the city commission to keep the city in a solid fiscal condition.
Vice Mayor Larry Spataro praised Mazade, Paul and all city staff who helped prepare the annual spending plan. He said the city of Muskegon is being recognized statewide for its prudent financial management in a time of dwindling resources.
"We are able to be financially solid as we move into an uncertain future," Spataro said. "With the expected closure of the B.C. Cobb generating plant, we are not out of the woods yet."

Yesterday, August 12th, Nvidia reported their 2Q 2011[2010] earnings. With this report came a few concerning figures as well as a few optimistic figures along with some positive forward looking expectations. First, Nvidia reported revenue of $811.2 Million down 19% sequentially. In addition to this, Nvidia posted a GAAP operating loss of $141 Million. This came as a result of a $193.9 Million Charge as a result of the ?weak die/packaging material set? which was previously believe to be a $150 Million charge back in July of 2008. In addition to the charge, Nvidia also had to write down their large inventory of old product which further drove down their overall margins and net income. The revenue write down was likely a result of the fact that inventory increased 11% over the first quarter. A big part of that revenue, the GPU business segment was down 29.5% sequentially? which is definitely increasingly concerning even though Nvidia cited previous issues with Europe and China as the problem earlier in the call.
The good news for Nvidia was that their Quadro and Tesla business which currently consists of 26.5% of their revenue was up 13.4% over 1Q 2011[2010]. In addition to the Quadro business, the consumer division was up 46.5% over the first quarter being mostly attributable to Tegra. This is even though Nvidia has yet to announce any recent design wins.
In their outlook for 3Q 2011[2010], they expect to see revenue to increase 3 to 5% quarter over quarter and their margin to grow to 46.5-47.5%. These improvements are fairly optimistic, but we believe that Nvidia is being extremely conservative in their estimates as they have yet to reap the benefits of their expanded Fermi line of products. At this point, Nvidia is very heavily pushing their midrange line of Fermi products first and foremost with the $199 price point GTX 460. Furthermore, Jen Hsun Huang also stated that, ?The GTX 460 is the best graphics card we?ve ever built for gamers in the history of our company.? From our indications, these cards have really put Nvidia back into the value segment and actually given their customers value for their money which previous Fermi based cards struggled to do. Because of the large die size of these Fermi products in respect to their AMD competition, we don?t necessarily expect the success of these chips to heavily impact Nvidia?s revenue until they can resolve other supply chain and market demand issues which they have stated may not be resolve into 3Q.
When it comes to segments like Tesla and Quadro, we can likely expect Nvidia to continue to dominate those markets as they?ve attained yet another record quarter for their Tesla division which we only expect to grow even more as they continue to get design wins for Tesla from system integrators like the recently announced Dell PowerEdge C410X. This is in addition to the already existing system offerings from companies like HP, IBM, and SuperMicro.
One of the places of possible concern in the future for Nvidia will continue to be for Nvidia to execute on time. The most notable place where this had occurred and hurt Nvidia was when Fermi was 6 months late and that cost them dearly in market share and lost revenue. In addition to that, they have been struggling to get their Tegra products to gain market-wide adoption as they have currently only helped their partners ship two devices, both of which came from Microsoft. While the first Windows Phone 7 device is expected to be a Tegra based phone, there is much doubt about how successful the new smartphone OS from Microsoft will really be with the increasing dominance of Qualcomm chipsets on the Android OS platform on almost all US carriers. Nvidia needs to broaden their partnerships with companies coming out with Tegra products and help create hype about them as many people are not even aware of their development or existence. Case and point the Boxee Box from D-Link coming this November. Many people are not aware of this product, yet it has a whole slew of features that Nvidia loves to tout when talking about Tegra.
In the end, this earnings report doesn?t really quite bring too many major concerns that haven?t already been brought up before by us nor does it give any great insight into the company?s 3Q or 4Q earnings as they seem to be very conservative with their estimates. We do expect Nvidia to turn a profit in 3Q, but we don?t really expect it to be a significant one simply because we don?t feel like they?ve gained enough steam in all of their business segments. They have continued to stay afloat with their professional graphics businesses and will likely continue to do so with the introduction of their Fermi based Quadro cards. If they can sell GTX 460?s at a high rate they might even post a larger profit than anticipated as they?ve relied on their professional graphics business to keep them profitable for a few quarters. On a side note, Nvidia[NVDA] was up $0.43 or 4.79% in trading today which appears to show that investors are not fazed by this somewhat unfavorable earnings report.

Andrews sets career points record as Mooseheads top Islanders
It was a history-making night for Brent Andrews of the Halifax Mooseheads on Wednesday.
The Hunter River native scored a goal and assisted on another to set a career-high for points in a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League season. Andrews, who now has 46 points in 2013-14, passed his previous best of 45 set last season.
Andrews' two points helped the Mooseheads to a 5-1 victory over the Charlottetown Islanders before 7,121 fans at the Halifax Metro Centre.
Brooklyn's Darcy Ashley netted his 20th goal of the regular season. Ashley, who was named the game's second star, also contributed two assists for a three-point night.
Philippe Gadoury (1-1), Luca Ciampini (1-1) and MacKenzie Weegar rounded out the scoring for Halifax, which improved to 28-16-0-1.
Alexandre Goulet answered for the Islanders (17-23-1-4) on the power play. Daniel Sprong and Anthony Cortese had assists.
The Islanders were 1-for-4 with the man advantage while the Mooseheads were 2-for-8.
The Mooseheads led 2-0 after the first period, and 3-1 following 40 minutes.
The Mooseheads outshot the Islanders 48-17, including a 16-2 advantage through the first 20 minutes. Zach Fucale earned the win over Eric Brassard.
The Islanders visit the Saint John Sea Dogs on Friday night.

Imagine a new Washington legislative body by the name of Citizens Art Organization, or CAO. The CAO mandates how all artwork in the state is to be preserved. One of their requirements is that all art must be kept clean and that the procedures for cleaning must be updated in writing every five years.
Now lets assume that our islands are Michelangelo's marble sculpture "David". Our recent County Council took very seriously the cleaning of the sculpture and under the cloak of meeting the CAO requirements, they also decided to have its genitals removed.
When asked why this was necessary, we were told that their presence might offend somebody. When asked for evidence that somebody had been offended, we were told that they had to use the "precautionary principle"—just in case someone in the future might find the genitals offensive, they have to be removed.
The decision of the council was quite controversial. When critically questioned about their course of action, they proceeded to talk about how simple the procedure would be and that they had hired the best "restorationist" in the world to perform the removal. They always directed the conversation away from the act that was about to take place and the consequences to the island body that it would bring with it.
In a very real sense, the recently passed CAOs will have a similar effect on the "charm" of the islands. Many of the buildings, landmarks, harbors, and businesses that draw people here would not be allowed under the new CAOs. Examples are Doe Bay restaurant and resort, Orcas Pottery, Orcas ferry landing, the old cannery at Jackson beach, Snug Harbor, Roche harbor, San Juan County park, Shipyard Cove, Rosario Resort, Duck Soup restaurant, many small home businesses, art studios — you can all add to the list.
An alternative to the fast approaching amputation is a community with "trust" as its foundation. I urge all for my island neighbors to vote for a county council that actually trusts you.

Stan Munro's "Toothpick World" opens at the Reading Public Museum on Tuesday, June 5 through Dec. 30, and explores the innovation of architecture with impressive scaled replicas of world-famous towers and buildings. Toothpicks and glue are the inspiration behind Munro's art which, according to a museum release, began in his fifth-grade art class. When students had to design a toothpick structure that could support an egg, Munro's design not only supported an egg but also his overturned desk!

COLUMBUS -- St. Edward put a big dent in Massillon Perry's hopes to win the big-school state wrestling title when the Eagles won two head-to-head confrontations in the quarterfinals this morning.
No match was of bigger importance than the 125-pound bout in which St. Edward sophomore Anthony Salupo upset Massillon Perry senior Dan Genetin, a two-time state place winner and projected state champ in the Brian Brakeman Report, 6-5.
A takedown, reversal and two escapes gave Salupo his points. It appeared Genetin would get a match-tying escape in the last five seconds, but he tried to reverse Salupo, and officials ruled there was no change of position.
The other confrontation was an expected result as Eagles sophomore Gus Sako (103 pounds) coasted past Panthers sophomore Nick Hannan, 6-2. Sako will meet Painesville Riverside senior Justin Toth in tonight's semifinals.
Two other major upsets -- where Brakeman projected state champs lost -- took place in Division I semifinals. At 140 pounds, Brecksville junior Kyle Lang got a double-leg takedown in overtime to shock St. Ignatius sophomore David Habat, 7-5.
At 119 pounds, Westlake sophomore Nick Lawrence got a double-leg takedown at the edge of the mat in the second period -- winning points in a 3-2 decision over Brush senior Kyle Ciccarello. In the closing seconds, Ciccarello could not finish a potential match-winning takedown.
St. Edward, with seven semifinalists, has 61 1/2 points through championship round bouts. Massillon Perry is second with 36 and Brecksville fourth with 23 1/2.

If you had a pulse when it happened, you grinned like an idiot.
If you had an ounce of respect for Red Sox history, you smiled knowing that one of the team's great guys found a way to make people pay attention again.
And if you watched the scoreboard, you knew that for now at least, it all mattered deeply, since the Red Sox still trail in the wild card race by 5.5 games with 55 games to play.
For today, call me Sports Homer Dan. I have no problems saying that as a fan, I plan to go down with the sinking ship that is the 2010 Boston Red Sox. If they manage what would be a stirring comeback to make the playoffs, it'll make it all the more satisfying as a sports fan, considering the team has faced more on-field adversity this season than any other one in Major League Baseball.
Last night, it all came to a head in the second inning when Mike Lowell came to the plate with no outs and Adrian Beltre on first base. Never one to crumble under pressure, Lowell took a mighty whack at the first pitch he saw, putting it in the Monster seats.
In many ways, that moment is the perfect microcosm for this Red Sox season. Lowell found himself in that position only because of a potentially season-ending injury to Kevin Youkilis. Nursing his own hip problems, Lowell delivered, giving Josh Beckett all the run support he needed in one of the pitchers first games back from a two-month stay on the disabled list.
Maybe this game, this 3-1 win over a Cleveland Indians pitcher with a 2-10 record, doesn't matter. Maybe the Sox will continue to sputter when they need to roar like a finely tuned engine to get back into playoff contention.
For now, though, it's what we have. Sit back and enjoy it, will ya?

No. Eat plenty of protein but don't worry too much about the timing of everything. If anything, eat some carbs after your workout.
No. But it's not that bad, unless you can't handle dairy.
"Regeneration" means rest days, right? You are not a lizard person or a zombie or something, right? If so I would give different advice.

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP — A township man has been accused of setting his own house on fire, killing his dog and several cats in the process.
Janrv Bacolod, 29, was charged with second-degree arson and third-degree animal cruelty after officers responding to a complaint about a domestic disturbance found his Holly Street home "fully engulfed" in flames Friday, Hamilton Township police said in a statement.
Investigators found the remains of the animals inside, and determined the fire had been set intentionally.
Bacolod is being held at the Atlantic County Jail on $100,000 bail, according to police.

Adnan Anwar, of Metairie, was up early Wednesday morning to take his mother and father to the airport as they prepared to make the hajj, the sacred Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. "He and his friend, instead of going to sleep, they wanted to shoot pool," said family friend Syd Ali.
But shortly after Anwar arrived at JR's Sports Bar & Grill in Metairie around 4:20 a.m., he found himself in an argument over the availability of the pool table. A single punch was thrown, and Anwar, a father of four, was dead.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office investigators notified relatives who contacted Anwar's parents 10 minutes before they were to board their flight, Ali said. Anwar's family was devastated. "They can't stop crying," he said.
Relatives and friends gathered to bury Anwar during a funeral held in Kenner Thursday afternoon, according to Syed Kazmi, President of United Cabs Inc. of New Orleans, where Anwar worked. "He was a good cab driver. He was very friendly. He loved to work and loved to serve the community," Kazmi said.
Anwar was not a troublemaker. He tried to avoid fights, according to Kazmi. But authorities have said Anwar argued with a man identified as Todd Garvin, 46, inside JR's, located at 7001 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie.
Aaron Ullrich, 37, a friend of Garvin's, stepped in and punched Anwar on the jaw, knocking him to the ground. Ullrich and Garvin then left the bar.
Paramedics arrived and found Anwar lying on the floor. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Jefferson Parish coroner's office later found that Anwar died as a direct result of the blow.
Ullrich, of 525 N. Wilson St., Metairie, was booked with manslaughter. He was being held Thursday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna on a $100,000 bond.
Kazmi said Anwar was originally from Pakistan but has been an American citizen living in the New Orleans area for some time. He worked as a taxi driver and joined United about a year ago. Anwar was married with four young children between the ages of 1 and 6.
Tariq Azim called Anwar his best friend.
"It's very shocking," he said. "He was a very nice guy. Very involved and very friendly all the time. He was a very, very happy man full of fun and jokes. Everybody likes him."
Friends have set up a fund to help relatives defray the cost of burial. Donations can be sent in his name to the Pakistan Community Association, 105 Chateau Latour Drive, Kenner, La., 70065. Donations can also be dropped off at the United Cabs headquarters located at 1634 Euterpe St., New Orleans.

The article on climate change by Kyle Whitmire in The Birmingham News on May 16 was interesting, but the question "Has the media enabled the public to view a settled issue as an ongoing debate?" was not answered.
The problem is that about 25 percentof the public does not view climate change as a settled issue because, they know that it is not. However, the other 75 percent apparently have been influenced by politicians and media hype. The majority of the U. S. Congress does not buy the climate change hype. They have not passed a carbon tax to reduce carbon dioxide emissions for example.
The scientific evidence does not exist to prove that there will be catastrophic climate change caused by global warming. The catastrophic predictions come from unproven computer models that did not predict the lack of a measurable increase in global temperatures over the past 16 years. Strictly speaking there will be climate change in the future because the available evidence shows that there has always been climate change. Almost all of the change had natural causes and was not caused by human activity.
Another fact to consider is that carbon dioxide emissions in the USA have gone down over the last few years yet the total global carbon dioxide emissions have increased. What this means is, that even if the USA spend hundreds of billions of dollars, doubles our utility bills, and bankrupts our coal mining industry, the total global carbon dioxide emissions will continue to increase.
Gary Briscoe
I would urge that the readers embark upon their own intellectual journey into the 'climate change' debate versus falling prey to blind acceptance of articles such as 'Drowning In Denial'. Spend some time researching the topic, find reputable studies and papers – not those produced by authors with a political agenda.
It is truly sad to see individuals sell their professional souls to greed, such as 'fighting climate change', the countless Solyndra style bail-outs or the hopes of grabbing some taxpayer dollars through a study grant. They've turned their backs upon a professional creed of seeking the truth, whatever it might be, in order to curry favor with the current administration and its supporters; shirking their responsibility to bring forth the truth for a fist-full-of-dollars!
Examine the lifestyle of those who want to take your tax dollars to 'fight' climate change. Al Gore has two jets, many large cars, large houses and a stunning net worth, all gained through first preaching climate change is man-made and now just climate change. He isn't cutting back on anything! Why? Because he doesn't believe what he is preaching! He is doing just the opposite of what he wants you and me to do! Doesn't that raise a red flag?
Colder Arctic temperatures, more polar bears, colder Antarctic temperatures, virtually no change in average temperatures, a decrease in storms on land and at sea are hardly indicators of impending catastrophe, are they?
Finally, why does the proposed cure always involve more of our tax dollars?
Thomas L. Parker
The author of a Sunday letter to The Birmingham News, "Science is not a Democratic process," is correct that science is not a popularity contest. But science does depend on consensus and persuasion to arrive at what is actually occurring.
The theory of global warming has more in common with Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity than the writer admits. Like Einstein's proposal in 1905, the theory of global warming was in opposition to what the general consensus was up to that time. Einstein stood Newtonian physics on its head and it took years of dispute and rigorous testing before a consensus of his fellow scientists was persuaded that it indeed best explained the observable universe.
Similarly, the theory of global warming – the proposal that an increase in green house gasses will lead to an increase in temperatures around the world – was in opposition to the prevailing opinion of the first half of the 20th century – that there was a cycle of heating and cooling largely independent of any atmospheric interference (thus the proposal that we soon would be entering a new ice age, because it seemed time for that part of the cycle, according to the prevailing theory).
But, as in Einstein's theory, now believed proved by almost all scientists, there was a constant testing of the two theories against the facts as we know them. And gradually climatologists became persuaded as they looked at the facts, that indeed we were seeing a warming trend when according to the prevailing theory we should be seeing a cooling one.
The wonderful thing about science is that through the engines of consensus and persuasion it does continually move to a better understanding of the physical world by a constant stream of hypothesis and testing. If the theory of global warming begins to fail the tests, then new hypotheses will be proposed. But right now, all the evidence points in the direction that an increase in green house gasses in the atmosphere leads to an increase in energy on the Earth's surface. So that is the logical theory to go with.
