How To Write a Mystery Novel
Behind the Scenes: Creating a Crime Series
By Gene Grossman
Gene Grossman created the popular 15-book series of Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries, each one with a crime that stumps the authorities and defense attorney Peter Sharp.
Fortunately, Peter has a 13-year-old legal ward named Suzi, who just happens to be a computer whiz, with a mind that works a lot faster than the adults involved in each case, so she usually solves the crime and lets Peter take the credit.
If you enjoy reading mysteries and want to try your hand at creating one - or a series - on your own, you will find this book a valuable aid, because it reveals Gene's thought processes as he created the books, and provides you with valuable information that will help you with your own writing efforts.
Also included are some 'insider' tips on printing, marketing, distribution, and much, much more.

Peter Sharp Legal Mystery #14
By Gene Grossman

Sorry Wrong Number - Suzie B. Mystery #1
Catching a Serial Bomber
By Gene Grossman
If you haven't been fascinated by her brilliant Sherlock Holmes type of logic in the first 15 Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries, then now's your chance to see what little Suzi can do when she's out on her own… well, almost her own.
She still lives on a luxurious yacht in Marina del Rey California with her legal Guardian, attorney Peter Sharp; and she still has her trusted bodyguard Bernie, a huge Saint Bernard - but for this adventure she doesn't want to see the adults take advantage of her superior computer skills and grab all the credit for solving the crimes, like they have in the first 15 books that chronicled Peter Sharp's high-profile criminal cases.
The assignment she has given herself for this first solo adventure is to figure out the identity of a murderous serial church bomber, set up a trap for him, and have the press handy when she actually attempts a citizens' arrest, with the assist of local law enforcement. At least that's the plan.

Movie Magic - Suzie B. Mystery #2
By Gene Grossman

While working on the case, a friend of hers meets an untimely death, so she starts hatching a plan to capture the murderer and his entire gang of criminals all by herself.
Having learned a lesson from her last adventure, when she was rescued by a SWAT team, to avoid too much danger this time she enlists the help of Bernie, her huge Saint Bernard.
When her plan starts to come together, you'll be sitting on the edge of your seat just like the police helplessly watching on TV monitors, as Suzi tries to pull of what nobody's ever done before... without getting murdered while doing it.

The Magic Bullets - Suzie B. Mystery #5
By Gene Grossman
Ballistics comparison tests performed on bullets recovered from several murders indicate that they were fired from the same gun – but one that could not possibly have been used, because during each time the lethal shots were fired, the weapon was in the custody of the authorities.
District Attorney Myra Scot Sharp (attorney Peter Sharp's bitter ex-wife) appoints a special prosecuting investigator, but when she and all the other adults involved fail to solve this mystery, little Suzi B. is called in for assistance and tries to prove that her amazing theory about who the murderer is, even though it contradicts the opinions of every police agency involved.
Is Suzi right or wrong this time? You'll be as surprised as Peter, Myra, and the police are when Suzi conducts an experiment on the boat that will determine the innocence or guilt of the person that she suspects is guilty.

Jenny found her door ajar.Mature
Jenny found her door ajar
The corvette tore through the streets. She slowed her car as she swivered to get here. Her headlights lit the street, the storm was still blowing, The water lashed the windseild like a man being flogged to death. The rain masked the street with darkness. Her hands clutched the wheel as she made her way home. she checked her mirror on the occasion to see if she was being followed. She did not see anyone behind her on the street, mind you, it was busy right now on the thru fare. Her head lights splashed across the door to her place. The door looked like it was not closed. Why were the street lights lit and her houses lights weren't. That was odd.
THe dooe always had a police chain on it, she never left the house, without putting it in place. Her security would be awaiting her return to the house. There were two of them, specialists in security both. The guards would be awaiting her arrival there. They surely would not have forgotten to lock it or leave it ajar.
She knew she would have locked it. She was not that naive, as to leave her door ajar. The place had a security system in place along with her bodyguard, as it was an area that had been looked over by thieves as it was upper class residental district. Knowing the police did already serve her with a search warrant for the evidence and the documents that she had come up with for her story.
Jenny remembered the phone calls that had accompanied Sadie while working this story. Sadie had a ranged t o have the phone checked, as if someone was phoning her and leaving nothing behind on it. The calls were random times.When trying to place the caller, there was no way in which to trace it, she found out they been bounced through out the city and world.
Sadie decided to use Sam's as a place where she would reside there, When working on a story of this magnitude she did not want any harm to come to Jsnny, so she could ill afford to use her residence. Sam had been a long shore man. He was not one to walk away from a fight. He had a record as long as your arm in regards to all out brawling. He to was having similar phone calls to his home.
The man she was supposed to have been staying with had been beaten too a pulp. He was big man, it would have taken a great deal of violence to stop him. The calls were with no one on the other end of the line. He told her, he was worried. These calls were made through out the day and night.
The day that he had been beaten up, she had gotten a call, at the same time of night as the others. However in this case, she heard someone screaming, for mercy. Pleading. Begging for mercy. At the end of the call was a ominous voice that said,"Get off the story! We know where you live. We know, you do not live at Sam's! Do you Sadie?"
Sadie had a device to allow the person to know who was calling them. That portion was not availible for this. She was afraid of finding out the information. When Sadie realized that it might have been Benny. The man whom she had put up a facade with to cause anyone who was after her. Would go to him to find out who they were to stop the investigation.
They found him, in his room. With his knees busted, fingers were all broken. Each knuckle popped and shattered like a wine glass thrown from a hundred feet to pavement below. There was a dvd with his mutilation on it.
There were three people involved in his injuries. His place was like Fort Knox, security all over it. They were unable to find anyone that had gone into his home. Yet they did have the proof that this had happened to him.
There was a African america woman who had been with him. Sadie did not recognize her. Jenny looked at her and had a vague recollection of her from some where in her past. From where and when she did recall,
Jenny slipped up to her house's door, it was indeed open, but for a hair's breath. Touched it. It opened further. It should have stopped way before this, there was the police chain. Enaged in it, it was always secured there. That is secured to it at all times.
Unless the guard decided to let someone inside. There was no one he would have let inside, now.
In the entrance way was one of her security officers, gutted like a pig. He sat there with his hands at his sides, legs were spread, it looked like he fell that way. He was still alive, there was a scent that she could not place on his breath. He was without his fire arm. There was red oval on his cheeks, chin and his nose. Blood ran from his face. He did not recognize her. He did not look like he was having his senses with him.
Someone was vicious. They knew what they were doing. She drew up her cell phone called the police to come to her home. She was afraid, they might still be here.

|This is a discussion on Do you impart poker wisdom at the tables? within the online poker forums, in the General Poker section; I'm just wondering if you do or don't and what are your reasons. As an example: you have 77k in chips, 1 EP player goes all-in
Do you impart poker wisdom at the tables?
I'm just wondering if you do or don't and what are your reasons.
As an example: you have 77k in chips, 1 EP player goes all-in for just over 4k, all folds to you in BB, at this point blinds are only 250/500 and you hold A4os.
I tank for a bit and think it's only costing me a small percentage to call so I call, villain turns over AJ, 4 on the flop and villain doesn't improve.
Another player then writes "Really?, A4os?, fish"
Do you say why you called or leave it be?
BTW, the above was an actual hand I played earlier today
First of all, I tell you, I do not say anything to the one who asked, because I'm not a Poker teacher, let alone a Poker professional, I'm just a player looking to increase my chips, we know it's not a good move Accept an all-in with A4, but there are enough reasons to do so, the first one is that the player with a 500 BB, has little time to flip a few good cards and is going to go all-in with middle cards, Small pairs, or with high cards with the possibility of pairing, or with Ace and a low card; Therefore, linking an Ace, I may have a chance to win. It is necessary to take into account and I do not know because you do not say it, if my A4 is of the same suit and how the player who is doing all-in has played, because if it is of the annoying ones that do it to bluff all the time or is Of those who just pick up a few more or less good characters throw themselves all-in, then they can not tell you "Fish", they can only say "thank you", I could name some other case, but in the end, what you want to know Is if I would say something to him that said "Fish", yes, I would say "Thank you" because in the end, I did it because I wanted to, and I had enough chips to do it! Maybe I even liked him and wanted to double his chips ... Sorry about my English, i´m very rusty and i help with Google Translator!
No i would not respond to the player who called you fish. Let him think you are, and if you try and explain why you did what you did he probably won't understand anyways.
Regarding passing on poker information, it depends. If I'm playing against other normal players live or online then no, but if its a home game with friends, then maybe if its warranted or asked for. Its common to talk about previous hands with friends but not with strangers.
In short, the call was pretty fishy. Sure, you have enough chips to take a -EV spot in the hopes of busting someone out. At an early time in the tournament, removing a single player doesn't always increase your equity much. The chips you stand to give away will mean a lot for the short-stacked player.
To answer the original question, I don't really talk about poker or poker strategy at the table. I like when other people try an talk strategy. It tells me a lot about how they play and how I can exploit them.
Actually I don't pay much attention to what they say unless they are insulting me or someone else at the Table, in which case I do remember them in Cardschat we don't allow such behavior.
On the other hand I will like them to think I am a fish and sometimes I myself portray myself as one, by the time they see the shark, is too late!
I wouldn't explain to him why I call , that's a sign of weakness plus there's no time to explain to everyone every move you make and this distracts you from the game (except if it was a friendly homegame ) , I would just say ''you are the fish'' and ''you are a nit player '' or sth like that .
Unless I know someone at the table I do not chat with other players about strategy. The only time I would chat is to explain pleasantries
The less information they have on you the better. Also chatting is distracting you can easily loose focus on the table especially if the other players are rude and disrespectful.
re: Poker & Do you impart poker wisdom at the tables?
I don't give any advice on the tables, someone taunts me I will taunt back but I don't explain my calls or moves in the game I am playing. As for a 3rd party making a statement like that I will play on that - I'd rather represent myself as a fish than a pro(as if I could lol).

After applying an arithmetic operation to two operands and getting a result, you can use this procedure to improve your confidence that the result is correct.
Sum the digits of the first operand; any 9s (or sets of digits that add to 9) can be counted as 0.
If the resulting sum has two or more digits, sum those digits as in step one; repeat this step until the resulting sum has only one digit.
Repeat steps one and two with the second operand. You now have two one-digit numbers, one condensed from the first operand and the other condensed from the second operand. (These one-digit numbers are also the remainders you would end up with if you divided the original operands by 9; mathematically speaking, they're the original operands modulo 9.)
Apply the originally specified operation to the two condensed operands, and then apply the summing-of-digits procedure to the result of the operation.
Sum the digits of the result you originally obtained for the original calculation..
If the result of step 4 does not equal the result of step 5, then the original answer is wrong. If the two results match, then the original answer may be right, though it isn't guaranteed to be.

Three pieces are performed by the university's jazz faculty combo, NU-VOYCE. "La Samba" splashes mild, Brazilian daydreams over electronics and wordless vocals, while Victor Feldman's "Delicate Touch" and Freddie Hubbard's "Little Sunflower" offer traditional scenes with these same contemporary timbres.
The big band provides a superior sound to that of the combo. Pat Metheny's "Always and Forever" forges straight ahead with a featured guitar solo by Nick Schneider. His lyrical interpretation of the melody, balanced just right by each section, leaves an indelible impression of the university. From a geographical area, after all, where open spaces are respected and admired, the band offers a reminder that music can hold the same majesty. Montgomery interprets "Joy Spring" and "I Remember Clifford" with picture-perfect models of what should comprise tone. His round, overtone-rich formula guarantees the album's success. Recommended for the tasteful manner in which Montgomery and Prebys have elected to interpret a century of jazz, the University of Mary Jazz Ensemble's debut album will appeal to all.
Track Listing: Got Eyes For You; Stella By Starlight; Warm Hearted Blues; Bee-N-Dubya; La Samba; Always and Forever; Joy Spring; Little Sunflower; I Remember Clifford; Grease's Blues; Jeep's Blues; Estero Sunset; Delicate Touch.

It is possible that they don't respond to pings, so if you have them in
an ip range, we won't try to use snmp on them. For individually
specified device names or ip addresses, we don't do this ping check.
So, one thing that you can try is the following: on the
Settings->Network page, add an explicit entry for one of the unfound
airport devices and see if that makes a difference.

Cheating: Alive And Flourishing
Published: April 10, 1988
(Page 3 of 3)
Others say concept is too simplistic. They point out that for the most part the people associated with the ethics scandals of the 1980's are in disgrace - and, in many cases, in jail - and that youngsters could just as easily derive a ''crime does not pay'' conclusion from the headlines.
Far more troubling than publicized scandals, they say, is the lackadaisical attitude modern parents take to morality, along with their frenzied pursuit of wealth. ''It is not that kids are being taught the wrong values, it is that they are not being taught any values,'' said Mr. Daly, the retired high school teacher.
''The attitude,'' Mr. Scouffas said, ''is 'Let's hurry up and get through so we can go and make $100,000 a year.' The goal is a good job with a lot of money, not necessarily a good education.''
Is cheating human nature, or do parents and teachers encourage it by their own attitudes?
For every expert with a theory about who cheats, why, and how it should be handled, there is another with an equally plausible theory suggesting the opposite. Psychologists who subscribe to Lawrence Kohlberg's theories of morality, which postulate six stages of moral development, say that cheating is inevitable among young children.
''Their morality is centered on the idea that whatever brings them good results is right,'' said Marvin W. Berkowitz, an associate professor of psychology at Marquette University. But many elementary-school teachers say that is just not so. ''Children just don't have a natural tendency to cheat,'' said Carmen Edgerly, who teaches fifth-graders at Public School 41 in New York's Greenwich Village. ''They are more likely to help each other.''
No one seems much bothered about cheating in youngsters, anyway. ''My little boy doesn't like to lose when he plays games, so he cheats,'' said a mother of a nursery schooler. ''I did the same when I was his age.'' What if the cheating on games turns into cheating on tests? ''If I thought he wasn't studying, I might get concerned,'' she said. ''But I can't lay a guilt trip on a kid for cheating - it is too tempting, too common and too much a part of human nature.''
Even the most vociferous opponents of cheating are ready to give youngsters a bit of leeway. ''I wouldn't be comfortable with an honor code like ours in grammar school or even high school,'' said Mr. Socas, honor chairman at Virginia. ''Our system really says, 'You are on the threshold of being an adult, of taking responsibility for your actions.' Young people must be allowed to make mistakes.'' Did he cheat when he was younger? ''Sure.''
Education professionals cite more complex reasons to tolerate cheating among youngsters. Come down hard, they warn, and the child's already precarious self-esteem and joy in learning are at risk. ''If you make a really big deal out of it, you can turn the kid off for three weeks,'' said Richard Gross, who teaches at P.S. 49 in the South Bronx. ''Too many kids are turned off today - just look at the dropout rate.''
Most agree that by high school, cheating should be dealt with more seriously. But usually it is not. Some teachers, under tremendous pressure from local school districts to bring their students' performance above national norms, are loath to interfere with a process that yields higher grades. Others, students say, just do not seem to care.
''I got through my sophomore year in high school by cheating,'' said Sherry L. Brendel, a 19-year-old sales assistant at Oppenheimer & Company. ''I would have hesitated if I thought the teachers cared, but they didn't even look. They'd walk out of the room during an exam.''
Ms. Brendel is now going for a degree at Fordham University at night, and she says she no longer cheats at all. ''The college teachers seem to care whether their students learn,'' she says. ''They stay in the room, they answer questions, they spend more time explaining things.''
But do they crack down on cheaters? At worst, most schools make students caught cheating retake the entire course; more often, they simply make them retake the exam or redo the paper.
The leniency is a source of frustration to those academicians who find cheating abhorrent. ''When I catch students cheating, I want to nail them for it,'' said Mr. Berkowitz of Marquette. ''But I once caught a doctoral student plagiarizing and took him to his dean. It became the dean's decision, and the dean let him stay at the university.''
STUDENTS, too, say that official policies are more honored in the breach. Mr. Socas at the University of Virginia concedes that professors often do not report cheating to the honor committee because they are not comfortable with the idea that convicted cheaters will be expelled. Ms. Sokolik, the Nebraska senior, also says that the few cheaters at her school are not dealt with severely enough. ''Rarely is the punishment worse than a reprimand,'' she said. ''The official policy is that cheaters fail the class, but teachers don't follow it.''
If psychologists and a small but growing number of college officials have their way, enforcement policies will become a non-issue. They are focusing on preventing cheating, both through the quick-fix method of making tests cheat-proof and the longer-term method of rekindling in students a desire to learn.
Increasingly, professors are turning to open-book exams that test students more on how well they have learned to apply concepts than on how well they have memorized arcane facts or formulas. The approach serves a dual purpose: it fosters conceptual thinking and makes crib sheets and peeking obsolete.
''I give open-book problems without unique solutions,'' said Stanley R. Liberty, dean of the engineering school at the University of Nebraska. ''Students know there's an unbelievably low probability of two people coming up with the same approach.''
Cornell University, meanwhile, has set up a faculty subcommittee to create a campus-wide dialogue on the ''pedagogical'' goals of exams. ''Talking about cheating would be divisive,'' said Larry Walker, vice president of academic programs. ''I want professors and students to discuss ways that exams can be used as a learning device, not an evaluation tool.''
For the most part, academicians seem optimistic that changes in teaching methods and in exams will cut down on academic dishonesty. But teachers and child psychologists say that the only way to stop kids from cheating in college is to keep them from developing the habit in high school. They are worried whether, in a society where two-income families and high-pressure jobs are prevalent, that is an ever more elusive goal.
Said Beverly Betz, who teaches at New York City's High School for the Humanities, ''Parents have got to make their kids feel that if they don't do well on a test it's not the end of the world, but just an indication that more work needs to be done.''

Just four days after Crystal Warner's remains were laid to rest, the man accused of killing her and her boyfriend, Robert Jones, appeared in district court where his defense asked for evidence they say wasn't received.
Idle Hour Park will soon be a smoke-free and tobacco-free location.
The Springfield City Council voted to make Idle Hour Park smoke and tobacco free at Tuesday's meeting. Springfield City Administrator Laurie Smith said this decision came after several complaints concerning the use of chewing tobacco and cigarette smoking at the park. A planter was also damaged due to butts being improperly disposed of.
"The use of these products around children were concerning," she said.
The Washington County baseball team won its last two games of the regular season, defeating Green County 11-1 on Wednesday, May 17, and Campbellsville 20-1 Thursday, May 18. The wins put the Commanders three games above .500 (19-16) going into the postseason.

Monday's game against Lincoln County was senior night for the Commanderettes softball team, but it was a long night for the home team as they fell to the visiting Lady Patriots 7-2.
Prior to the game, three seniors were recognized from the Washington County team: Madison White, Teresa Fenwick and Anne Fallis.
"It was a joy and a privilege to get to coach these girls during their time here," said head coach Christy Baker. "I wish them all the best in their futures."
Renovation work at the new Washington County middle and elementary school is nearly complete.
According to Jean-Paul Grivas, the architect of the renovation, 99 percent of the work has been completed at the school.
"We've just got a little bit of work to do," he said during the school board's monthly meeting.
The work that remains includes some painting, masonry work and flooring.
The court-appointed receiver for the Saint Catharine College lawsuit with Huntington Bank filed a report to the U.S. District Court that there are no funds available to pay 56 vendors the $355,600 they claim is owed.
According to the report, "Upon the receiver's arrival, SCC did not have an updated, accurate accounts payable aging."
Memorial Day is just around the corner, and everyone is preparing for the long weekend. While some may go on a short vacation, others choose to stay home and enjoy the activities in their local communities. That's what residents of Willisburg will be doing this Memorial Day weekend at Willisburg Community Park, with a variety of activities for participants to enjoy and bring the family.
A man accused of fleeing police was indicted on seven charges.
When St. Catharine College closed its doors in June 2016, SCC baseball coach Luther Bramblett was left with many questions. He, along with the student-athletes he coached and mentored, faced uncertain futures as a result of the closing.
"It was a difficult time," said Bramblett, who spent 15 years as the head baseball coach at St. Catharine.
The Washington County Commanders traveled to Louisville Saturday, May 13, to battle Kentucky Country Day. The game quickly got away from the Commanders in the second inning, and they couldn't recover, suffering an 11-0 loss.
"KCD is a good team," said Commander head coach Adam Blair. "They got away from us early."
After allowing an early run in the first inning, KCD scored seven runs in the second to put the game out of reach for the Commanders.

Link between extreme weather and climate change comes into focus
Scientists have typically been cautious when discussing the link between a single extreme weather event and climate change, preferring to focus on broader trends. Previous work, including a paper I wrote with Jay Gulledge four years ago, described a framework for how to think about the link.
But a new report from the National Academies of Sciences (NAS) is making the connection more clear by defining the relative contributions of climate change and other natural sources to the risk of individual weather events. The NAS report – an exhaustive, systematic examination of the peer-reviewed literature – finds high confidence in attribution studies linking individual extreme heat and cold events and climate change, and a more moderate confidence level for several other types of events.
Climate change is making extreme weather more likely. But individual weather events like heat waves or hurricanes are always the product of several risk factors, such as El Nino, climate change or other natural variability, akin to how a poor diet and smoking increase the risk of poor health later in life.
Extreme event attribution attempts to quantify the influence of climate change in comparison to other factors. Determining to what extent climate change strengthened or weakened the event can further our understanding of how much impact climate change is having on our weather.The NAS report assigns a confidence level to the climate impact for a variety of weather events based on three supporting lines of evidence:
- The physical mechanisms that link climate change to a particular extreme
- The length and quality of the observational record showing the baseline risk level and changes to date
- Computational climate modeling showing an increase in risk for a class of extreme event
The report finds the strongest links to climate change for extreme heat and cold, with the highest level of confidence across all three lines of evidence. Drought and extreme rainfall have medium confidence for physical understanding, observation and modeling. Extreme snowfall has medium conference for two out of three, physical understanding and modeling, while the observational record for snowfall is poor.
Ten Myths About Intellectual Property Rights and the Montreal Protocol
Ten Myths About Intellectual Property Rights and the Montreal Protocol
April 2016
By Steve Seidel and Jason Ye
This brief explores myths and facts about intellectual property rights as they are covered in the Montreal Protocol, an agreement to limit high global warming potential (GWP) gases.
Action on HFCs heats up
We're seeing new movement toward phasing down the fastest-growing group of greenhouse gases – hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs. These chemicals are widely used in refrigerators, air conditioners, foam products, and aerosols. And while they don't stay in the atmosphere long, they can trap 1,000 times or more heat compared to carbon dioxide.
This week, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new regulations demonstrating its commitment to limiting the use of HFCs domestically. It proposed changes to its significant new alternatives program (SNAP) aimed at expanding the list of acceptable alternatives that minimize impacts on global warming while also restricting the use of HFCs in sectors where alternatives are now available. EPA estimates the proposed rule could avoid up to 11 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2030, which is equal to the energy-related emissions from about one million homes for one year.
Internationally, one sign of growing support for acting on HFCs came this month during the first visit by a U.S. president to Argentina in almost two decades. President Obama and newly elected Argentinian President Mauricio Macri explored opportunities to partner to address global challenges like climate change.
They affirmed their commitment to take action this year to amend the Montreal Protocol to phase down HFCs, which are substitutes for ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that were successfully phased out under the 1989 Montreal Protocol. The two leaders also endorsed the understandings reached at the Dubai Montreal Protocol meeting in November 2015 on financial support for developing countries to implement an HFC phasedown.
A key opportunity will come next week when Montreal Protocol negotiators meet in Geneva to build on the progress made toward reaching agreement this year on an HFC phasedown amendment.

Climate changes will impact the entire Anchorage community. Businesses of all sizes are an important part of the community, and will experience many different risks, such as disruptions to their supply chain, financial losses from extreme events, and threats to the health and safety of their employees. The business community in Anchorage can work together with city and state agencies, along with other stakeholders to evaluate potential risks and take steps toward enhancing the community's resilience.
Approaches to Structuring a High Ambient Temperature Exemption
Approaches to Structuring a High Ambient Temperature Exemption
March 2016
By Steve Seidel, Jennifer Huang, and Stephen O. Andersen
As parties to the Montreal Protocol consider an amendment to phase down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), one critical concern is whether suitable alternatives for air-conditioning applications are available and adequately demonstrated for cooling capacity and energy efficiency under conditions of high ambient temperatures. Given the critical importance of these applications, one option being considered by parties is to provide a time-limited exemption for those uses in countries that could be adversely impacted by high ambient temperatures. This paper looks at a number of options for how such an exemption might be structured.
2015 was the warmest year on record
Image courtesy NOAA
This visualization from NOAA shows much warmer than average or record warm temperatures across much of the globe in 2015, the warmest year on record.
The data are in, and 2015 was officially the warmest year globally ever recorded. We've been keeping temperature records since 1880. The last time the record was broken? 2014.
What's interesting is just how much warmer 2015 was. The observed annual average surface temperature was more than 1.8° F (1° C) above the 19th century average, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). That's already half the warming countries have agreed to as the international limit.
And 2015 was about a quarter of a degree Fahrenheit warmer than 2014. That might seem small, but it's actually huge when compared to the year-to-year differences observed in the record.
A strong El Niño, when the surface ocean in the Eastern Pacific basin warms, contributed to the record warmth of 2015. But even compared to other El Niño years, 2015 set records. The agencies reporting the data attribute this to the long-term warming trend due to the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
As with all climate and weather data, the 2015 data shows some variability. Not all locations set high temperature records, and parts of the North Atlantic Ocean actually set a cold temperature record.
In the contiguous United States, 2015 was the second warmest year on record, with 2012 still holding the top spot. It was the 19th consecutive year that the annual average U.S. temperature was more than the 20th century average.
Attributing extreme weather events to climate change
It is well known that climate change will alter the occurrence of extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts, and severe storms. But weather is unpredictable and naturally variable, so how can we be sure climate change is happening today?
Climate change attribution
Scientists have recently developed tools for so-called event attribution, to say (through the use of statistics) whether a particular extreme weather event is caused by climate change. The fourth annual report on event attribution was just published in the journal Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS). Researchers around the globe used different methods to assess 28 events that occurred in 2014. They found that some of these events probably would not have happened without climate change.
Why 'probably'?
Any individual weather event is a part of a chaotic and complex system (yes, those are the technical terms). Because of this, it is theoretically impossible to predict weather over any meaningful timescale. So scientists turn to probabilities.
When your local weather forecaster tells you there's a 30 percent chance of rain, that number doesn't come out of a hat. The percentage comes from many weather models run over and over again. A 30 percent chance of rain tomorrow means that for every 100 model simulations of the weather tomorrow, 30 had rain.
Significant progress toward limiting HFCs under the Montreal Protocol
In an important breakthrough, parties to the Montreal Protocol meeting in Dubai have agreed to a path forward aimed at phasing down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), a class of highly potent greenhouse gases. This progress adds to the momentum leading up to the UN climate talks starting later this month in Paris.
HFCs, chemicals widely used in refrigeration, air conditioning, and foam blowing, were developed in response to limits on ozone-depleting substances under the Montreal Protocol.
The United States and 40 other countries had put forth a range of proposals this year for phasing down HFCs. While these efforts fell short of producing a consensus amendment, extensive discussions throughout the week resulted in a path toward delivering an HFC phasedown amendment at a special, additional meeting of the parties to be held in 2016.
Are 2015's extreme weather events driven by climate change or El Niño?
|Hurricane Patricia (Photo: NASA Earth Observatory)
Record warmth, increased precipitation, and more intense tropical cyclones.
These are just a few of the consistent predictions from models investigating our future in a world with climate change. Or, it's a list of some of the impacts of the periodic weather pattern called El Niño.
So which one has been driving some of this year's extreme weather events?
A record year for Pacific tropical cyclones
The National Hurricane Center reports that eight major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher) have developed in the eastern North Pacific Ocean so far this season. This is consistent with the characteristics of El Niño that have been shaping up over the course of the year.
During an El Niño year, the surface ocean in the Eastern Pacific basin warms (it's usually very cold) and the trade winds in the area weaken. These two meteorological developments favor the formation of tropical cyclones, the general term that includes hurricanes and related systems. Hurricane Patricia achieved record strength in a record short period of time this month, becoming the strongest Pacific hurricane to make landfall. Meanwhile, climate change will probably not change the number of hurricanes overall, but warmer ocean surface temperatures and higher sea levels are expected to intensify their impacts.
Driver: El Niño

Originally posted on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 12/14/12
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived rookie receiver Kevin Elliott and activated rookie offensive lineman Austin Pasztor from the practice squad. The team also signed receiver Jerrell Jackson to the practice squad. Elliott, who started one game and played in a dozen more for the Jaguars (2-11), caught seven passes for 70 yards. He also played a key role on special teams. But Elliott dropped numerous passes this season, including two in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the New York Jets. He also was flagged for illegal touching on a key play with about a minute left. Pasztor, a 6-foot-7, 308-pound Canadian, spent 12 weeks on Jacksonville's practice squad after spending training camp with Minnesota. He was the fourth overall pick by the Edmonton Eskimos in the 2012 Canadian Football League draft.

GreenTrader Tax Robert A. Green, CPADarren L. Neuschwander, CPA Decided 9 days before my taxes where due they quit, then released my sensitive information online Ridgefield, Connecticut
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was using Green Trader Tax for my 2012 return. and to look over my 2011 and 2010 returns. I thought everything went fine in that tax year, When 2014 started i uploaded all my 2013 tax information to them over a 3 month time span. To my shock 9 bus days before 2013 taxes are due they deside to quit and not do my taxes.
i felt pretty overwheled finding this out 9 days before my taxes where due, and that i have no one to do my complicated taxes. Or that im due a huge refund and each day that goes by i am 1 more day away from getting that money. Has anyone tried to get an accountant in April?
When i questioned them via email then social media they not only released non public sensitive information about my 2013 taxes on TWITTER but threated and bullied me with Legal action for speaking the truth. What ever happened to having my private information protected by my accoutant? Not only that but to release it on twitter?

So what you`re saying is we need to scan for the post powerful entity in the universe in the minutia?<quoted text>
It is unseemly to ridicule before you grasp.
It is not god that is limited by concept; it is our awareness that is limited.
Awareness is the "living water springing up" that was offered by the Galilean carpenter to the woman at the well. It was offered on the spot - no confession, no forgiveness, no blood sacrifice.
"If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."
How it got past the editors, I do not know.
...followed by having a drink of water....
Blood sacrifice, lets deal with that shall we?
If I was told that hunger, war, pestilence, plague, famine and general nastiness all over the world would cease, if I gave my life, you know I think I`d probably do it.
My daughter would never want, she`d never get sick, she`d live a healthy and happy life as would the rest of humanity.
I was a soldier, I`d have died for less and if I was given the choice I would die in a second, torture me for three days if you like, I`d probably laugh while you were doing it because I knew the outcome.
I`ll put it out there...I wish that would happen, sincerely I want it to happen today. If I`m not on topix tonight you know why.
Now lets look at the notion that after I die I WILL BE RESURRECTED.
IT IS A GUARANTEE THAT I WILL LIVE AGAIN AFTER THREE DAYS. I will then go to heaven and my memory will live on for thousands of years as people everywhere worship said memory.
DOOOD PLEASE!!!!! Where was the sacrifice?

If you're a garden-lover and care to keep your garden embellished with lush, healthy plants and vegetation, you should probably avoid having invasive plants that grow beyond your control and become a real pain that's hard to get rid of.
Avoid the following 9 plants to protect your garden from some greedy pests.
|1. Bamboo
|Although these may furnish your backyard with an exotic touch, the nature of bamboo plants makes them grow and spread extensively in their surroundings and unfortunately, one has to take extreme measures if this happens in domestic circumstances. These measures may include plastic or concrete root barriers, which prevent its rhizomes from spreading uncontrollably. Running varieties include: Chimono-bambusa, Indocalamus, Pleioblastus, and Sasa. Clumping varieties, which grow and spread less rapidly, include: Bambusa, Borinda, Chusquera, Fargesia, and Otatea.
|Source: Liz Foreman for HouseLogic
|2. English Ivy (Hedera Helix)
|Unlike the Bamboo, the English Ivy is able to spread in all directions, and is especially known for growing on walls, reaching over fences and covering the ground. Many like to grow it for decorative purposes, only to find out that its stubborn and overly rapid growth can be both overwhelming and frustrating.
|Source: Jason V. Advani
|3. Kudzu (Pueraria)
|This plant is an invasive, semi-woody vine that hooks itself to buildings, road signs and trees with an unforgiving greed. This beastly plant can spread through runners, rhizomes and seeds, and is able to grow up to 1 foot per day! It's nearly impossible to eliminate this plant from your garden, and even if you do, it won't be long-term. You may try applying herbicides for some years and maybe using herds of kudzu-grazing goats to destroy the plant, or else simply mow it constantly and wait for it to finally give up.
|Source: John Kellogg
|4. Japanese Stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum)
|Another unstoppable garden nightmare is the Japanese Stiltgrass, which originates from East Asia. The tactic of this plant is to spread above the ground through rhizomes and seeds, to the extent that it forms a web of grass that traps and starves other plants. The worst part is - the more you try digging the plant out, the more it grows, as its seeds grow best in loose soil. So you may want to apply pre-emergent herbicides, ideally in late spring or early summer.
|Source: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut/Bugwood.org
|5. Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum Salicaria)
|If it finds itself in the wild, the Purple Loosestrife plant can literally go on the loose, starving out native vegetation and wildlife. It was once used to treat dysentery (a serious inflammation of the intestine), but ironically, it's also nicknamed 'Beautiful Killer' and 'Marsh Monster'. The good news is, there are some natural pests that can help control this killer, including certain kinds of leaf beetles and weevils. You may also try digging out the plant and burning the remains, or tying it in a dark plastic bag in order to stop it from further infestation.
|Source: Donna's Garden
|6. Mint (Mentha)
|Everyone loves having some fresh mint within reach to add that extra taste to a dish or punch. However, this tempting, widely-used herb can be deceiving - it loves moist and shaded areas and can easily make them its home. If you want to keep your outdoor area out of any perilous mint colonization, you may want to plant this herb in containers, ideally kept in sunny windowsills indoors, or on a deck outdoors, so as to keep it away from other garden plants.
|Source: Teresa Byington of TheGardenDiary.com
|7. Chinese Wisteria (Wisteria Seinensis)
|This pretty-looking tree can also be seriously deceptive - in fact, 19 states consider it as being invasive. This plant (and its cousin, the Japanese Wisteria (Wisteria Foribunda)) can grow up to more than a foot in diameter, making it easier to twist around trees tight enough to kill them, destroy other plants and collapse arbors. If you do get it in your garden, make sure you remove it from your trees, arbors and pergolas, and then spray with a systemic herbicide.
|Source: Kathy Jentz, Washington Gardener Magazine
|8. Trumpet Vine (Campsis Radicans)
|Another unwanted invasive plant is the Trumpet Vine, also known as the trumpet creeper, since it can creep up walls or trees, grabbing on so tightly that attempting to remove it can be a nightmare. It is also able to send shoots far away from the main plant, making it even less controllable. Cutting it or digging it out might make it even fiercer, so the best way to control it would be to persistently dig up the mother plant and shoots and clear it from any blooms. You wouldn't want to waste all your patience on this blooming plant!
|Source: David R. Lindquist of Cary BirdCam blog
|9. Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia Esula)
|The last vicious suspect is the three-foot-tall Leafy Spurge, whose seeds explode from capsules and can stay dormant in the soil for up to seven years. This plant grows so extensively that it can crowd out other plants and what's more, it can spread toxins that prevent native species from growing near it. Take the necessary measures if you want to save your garden - spray them with a systemic herbicide, year after year.

Shocks the hell out of some of the "kids" in my area when I pull up at an event and pull the helmet off to show a gray haired dude riding a Busa. I'll admit, I don't ride them nearly as quick/fast as they are meant to or can, every time I I get on it, past experiences kick in.

Chapter1 (v.1) - C.C.
Cypris! Youre off! I head my coachs loud booming voice from the sidelines. I look over and jog of to the bench. He pats me on the back although Im sweaty like hell. Good work, get some water. He says to me while looking on to the court still, not willing to miss a second of the intense game.
I sit down next to a girl, Mya, that has been on my team for the second year now I dont think Ive said more that five words to her rather than. Good job She says out of breath.Thanks, you too, I respond although I dont know how she played since I hadnt watched her, or even noticed she was just in my shift. Oops.
I pick up my water that was under the seat. I knew it was mine from the rubber band hugging its middle. I jerk my head back and chug a good amount of water. I could feel the water seep down through the inside of my chest. Then a little bit trickled down my chin, fell down my uniform top, and joined with some of my sweat.
My coach comes over to where I was sitting. The other team had called a time out. Now C, I want you to get back out there. Play center and cover that tall girl, number 67. As he was giving me my directions I just continued to nod. Ok, another pat on the back. Get out there!, he said in an end-of-pep-talk way, after finishing several more directions.
I get out there not thinking of the score, just my goal. I mead 1,2,3 lay-ups, two outside shots, and a foul shot. I played my hardest and guarded my opponent like there was no tomorrow. We held them down to 3 points that shift. I still didnt bother looking up at the scoreboard. 5 seconds left!†the ref called, although most people just looked at the scoreboard to know that. The last 5 seconds I was jogging down the court while one of the guards had the ball in her possession.BEEP the loud buzzer rang. The game was over. Yes! I screamed in my head. But then looking up at the scoreboard I saw the final score. ROCKETS (thats them) 49 and VISITORS (thats us) 48. We lost. Thats it. Not another second left to maybe make just one more lay-up, get the full 2 points on a 1 on 1. Something we could have done should have done, but it was over, no looking back.
I get a million Good job,Good effort, Close game, You played well out there, C.C.s. I gave quick smiles, quick thanks, barely any eye contact. I got into the car robotic. It was like I was programmed with that blank look on my face. I stared out the window, as my dad kept on trying to encourage me. All I though of was my mother. Would she still be proud although I lost? I hope shes still proud. This I her game. I hop I met her standards. Did I do good mom? I asked out the window to the sky, so quietly that my father didnt hear. I wanted a response that I would never receive. I look down at my red and white reversible jersey, and sighed.

Hope you are having a lovely time, Italy is gorgeous, i am dreaming of our next holiday there !ReplyDelete
I would go pretty far for fresh ripe peaches too- they are my absolute favorite fruit. Peach Bellinis, peach pie, peach anything... Those pictures make me hungry, I'm going to go have a peach. :) N.G.ReplyDelete
My peach tree is loaded. I have been making peach jam every night and am wondering who I shall give all these wonderful jams to. The peaches don't last very long and you are correct...they smell divine!ReplyDelete
Just had to laugh; I'd say a fragrant Italian peach is worth it, and thankfully Italians have the sense of humor to have a laugh along with you, Bella~ReplyDelete
YUM! I laughed imagining you in the car with peach juice flying, savoring every minute. One of my favorite fruits...made peach sangria yesterday, my favorite summer drink!ReplyDeleteReplies
Tina, that Sangria sounds wonderful. I'm doing it on Saturday!Delete
I share your passion for peaches, Marsha. Since we live in Georgia, I get my fill! I'm making peach gazpacho, peach cobbler, peach chutney and anything else I can put their delicious goodness in! Beautiful post!ReplyDelete

A Blast from the Past
Jared and Sara
Jared's palms were sweaty as he got out of his car. He couldn't believe it had been that long. Has it really been four months since he's gone on a date? Sure, the fact that he'd graduated from university and had to find a job was a contributing factor to the many other reasons why he'd neglected his social life. But he'd always been the ladies' man. Cool, charming, smooth. But as he approached the entrance of the restaurant, he couldn't help but feel vaguely...pathetic.
Deep breaths Jared.
Swinging the glass door open to the restaurant, he headed towards the reception where a woman welcomed him with a warm smile. "And what can I do for you sir?"
"Reservation for two under the name Marks? Kevin Marks?"
She looked through the computer and eventually nodded, smiling. "Yes. Let me get someone to take you to the table. Jones!"
Jared followed the host, a sheen of sweat breaking out on his forehead. Kevin had told him this would go perfectly well. Sure, easy for him to say, all he ever did was go on dates all the time with different girls. He'd been in the game for a long time. But for someone who joined it after a long hiatus, it felt risky. Especially since this was one was a blind date.
The last relationship Jared had been in hadn't ended well at all. He dumped his ex on the night of her birthday and remembered leaving her apartment in a hurry, knowing how she was known for her temper. Thinking back on that, this didn't feel scary at all.
Looking up absent-mindedly from his thoughts, Jared froze when his gaze lingered towards a table for two located not too faraway where a very familiar looking woman was sitting. And he had a strong feeling that where we were headed was exactly towards that table.
He licked his lips, the new wave of anxiety washing over him and flipping the insides of his stomach.
"That's not where you're taking me are you?" He asked, gesturing.
"Well that's your reservation. Is there a problem?"
Yes, yes there is.
"Of course not."
The host gave Jared a weird look before leading him towards the table. Jared had the urge to turn back, to run out the restaurant and save himself from the new misery he was about to face. Yet in the back of his mind, he couldn't help but question himself. How bad could it possibly get?
Sara didn't know what to expect as she waited for her date to show up. She'd never been on a blind date before so it felt like an odd thrill to her. The looks, on one hand were something to wonder about. Yet she couldn't help but doubt who Kevin had matche her up with. He himself had a knack for going out with strange girls, what's the guarantee he hadn't set her up with someone as crazy as his usual specimens?
Sara looked up when she heard approaching footsteps. Her gray eyes widened in surprise when she saw who it was.
"Hey," he said in a shaky laugh. He reached out his hand to shake it with hers but she didn't take it.
"Well this is definetely a surprise," she muttered. "The last time I remember seeing you was after you bolted out my apartment the night you dumped me."
Jared stood there awkwardly, not quite sure whether to sit down or not under her cold glare. Sara had always been someone could hold a long grudge. She would definitely not make an exception towards him.
"Well that was a long time ago. Let bygones be bygones," Jared said, attempting a merry tone as he pulled out his chair and sat down.
"Let's also not forget how that was the day I turned twenty. What a present, huh?"
Jared felt queasy under the furious glare that Sara was giving him. If it weren't for the fact that he did have a little pride for himself, people would have seen a scared young man running for the hills.
This is going to be one long night.

Secondly, they can allow for the possibility of crossovers not continuing into the 2nd Round if they don't use a wildcard format and not permanently peg a wildcard team into another Division. Just use a top-8 format, with a minimum 3 teams per Division guaranteed a Playoff spot.
It potentially reduces the divisonal matchups. If you just have seedings based on division, you have 8 divisional matchups in the first round and 4 in the second. Thats guaranteed.
Again, yes travel headaches are reduced, but they could be all but eliminated without the wildcard. As it is now, Nashville could play Vancouver in the first round. And then Vancouver could play Chicago in the second. If you do all in division, there's no chance of that.

Cal State Lies About Receiving Transparency Award
By JOHN HRABE
Vox Veritas Vita – "Speak the truth as a way of life." – Cal State University Motto
From the Files of You Can't Make This Stuff Up: A California government agency has lied about receiving an award for government transparency.
The California State University system has falsely claimed to have received a 2012 Sunshine Award, which recognizes "the most transparent government websites in the nation."
"CSU wins 2012 Sunshine Award for most transparent government website ow.ly/9BuP6," @Cal State, the official Twitter page for the CSU Public Affairs Office, tweeted on March 12. However, as of 1:30 pm on March 13, the ow.ly/9BuP6 link no longer worked, even though that exact link remains up on Cal State's Twitter account.
CSU wins 2012 Sunshine Award for most transparent government website ow.ly/9BuP6
— The CSU (@calstate) March 12, 2012
Sunshine Review, the national nonprofit organization that sponsors the annual awards, confirmed to CalWatchDog.com that it would be impossible for the state's public college system to win a Sunshine Award.
"We do not grade state universities or colleges at this time, so it would be impossible for Cal State to have won an award," said Diana Lopez, senior editor of the Sunshine Review. "And you are correct, they are not on our list of winners here: http://sunshinereview.org/index.php/2012_Sunny_Awards."
If that's not ridiculous enough, remember we're in the middle of Sunshine Week, the annual campaign to raise awareness about open, honest and transparent government.
It'd be easy to laugh off the irony of a government agency lying about receiving a government transparency award during the weeklong celebration of openness and honesty in government. Except, the Cal State system continues to lie and mislead the public about the total compensation of its top administrators.
Cal State officials have provided false and misleading information to the public about the total compensation provided to at least one of the system's 23 presidents, a CalWatchDog.com investigation found earlier this month. According to IRS documents of Cal State University Los Angeles Foundation, CSULA President James Rosser reported receiving $515,612 in total compensation for fiscal year 2009-10, which ended on June 30, 2010. The half-million dollar figure is roughly $200,000 more than CSU's previously cited base salary of $325,000 per year. In at least five instances, Cal State officials have claimed or implied a lower compensation amount for CSULA's Rosser.
More Obstruction
When CalWatchDog.com requested the total compensation for all 23 executives, a Cal State spokeswoman told us to find it ourselves.
"The information is publicly available and included on 990 forms for each president and the chancellor that are posted on each campus website, as well as on the chancellor office website," said Claudia Keith, Cal State's assistant vice chancellor of public affairs.
CalWatchDog.com followed Cal State's instructions and found another CSU effort to obstruct the public's access to information. Cal State's IRS documents are nearly three years old. The most recent IRS Form 990 available on the CSU Foundation's webpage is for July 1, 2008-June 30, 2009.
The Sunshine or Sunny Awards honor "governments that are doing an exemplary job at proactively disclosing information to taxpayers." While Cal State didn't win a Sunshine Award, the state of California did. A complete list of the true 2012 Sunshine Award winners can be found here.

Spring Vegetable Soup
This light soup is laden with carrots, asparagus and peas simmered in a fragrant broth. If you like, top each serving with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Prep
- 10 min.
- Cook
- 15 min.
- Serves
- Makes 6 side-dish servings (1 1/2 cups each)
1. Remove and discard green, leafy portion of leeks; thinly slice white and light green portions. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook leeks and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add broth, tomatoes and carrots; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Stir in asparagus, peas and thyme; cover and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes or until asparagus is tender.
4. Stir in parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Quick Tip: To clean leeks effectively, trim them, then slit them lengthwise about a third of the way through. You can then open the leaves a little and wash away any stubborn dirt from between the layers under cold running water.
