High Tea in the Library
Published on Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - 10:17am
Watching all the royal doings in London, some of the Popular Library staff thought it would be a good idea to honor the Great Lady with a high tea of our own. And why not? Elizabeth II inherited the throne from her father, the much beloved George VI, as a young woman, but knew she was destined for greatness from a very young age. She has since held her throne through the terms of 12 British prime ministers, 12 U.S. presidents and six popes. Certainly worthy of a crumpet or two!
(One notorious French queen, Marie Antoinette, was not so fortunate.)
More about Elizabeth's fascinating life can be found in the pages of Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch, Sally Bedell Smith's well-received biography.
Speaking of Highnesses, another popular biography centered on the unusual life of a local woman is King Peggy, the true story of an unassuming secretary who found herself appointed king of a village in Ghana. Now who couldn't use a sceptre around the house?
The closest thing we have in the States are our First Ladies, and some of them are very regal. Here are some customer favorites about our own royalty:
- All The Presidents' Wives, a documentary by the A&E Channel;
- What Jackie Taught Us, a book by Tina Santi Flaherty; and
- Michelle: A Biography, a book by Liza Mundy.
Come visit us in the Popular Library to see our collection of fiction, films, and music and we'll help you with your own personal jubilee celebration.

TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Mexico-focused miner Endeavour Silver's second-quarter net profit slumped by 56% to $7.5-million or 9c a share, impacted on by lower metal prices, a lower derivative liability gain, lower other income and a higher foreign exchange loss.
The company said the average realised price for silver sold in the quarter fell by 22% to $29.21/oz, which was broadly in line with the average spot price of the metal. Silver production was up by 22% to 1.04-million ounces, and the increased production resulted in a 22% lower production cost per ounce at $5.46, net of gold credits.
Gold production also increased by 59% to 7 695 oz in the period and the price realised in sales of oz was up 5% to $1 599/oz.
Endeavour's revenue increased with 11% to $40.4-million in the June quarter compared with $36.4-million in the same period of 2011. It incurred foreign exchange losses of $3.4-million during the quarter.
Adjusted earnings, excluding onetime gains and expenditures were $5.9-million or 6c a share.
The company spent $11.9-million on capital expenditure in the period, focusing mainly on underground development at the Guanacevi and Bolanitos mines, expanding the mining fleet and upgrading various circuits at the plants to handle increased throughputs.
The miner remained positive that its financial position for the second half of the year would remain steady in light of current silver and gold prices, while it expected to steadily ramp up metals production.
"Industry-wide inflationary pressures on operating costs should be offset by the new economies of scale attained at the Bolanitos and Guanacevi mines as well as the operational turnaround now under way at El Cubo," Endeavour Silver CEO Bradford Cooke said in a statement.
Silver production and cash costs were expected to rise in the third quarter, reflecting the recent addition of the El Cubo mine.
The Bolanitos mine expansion from 1 000 t/d to 1 600 t/d, the Guanacevi plant optimisation from 1 000 t/d to 1 200 t/d, and the operational turnaround at El Cubo should each contribute to higher silver production and falling cash costs in the fourth quarter the miner said.
The company expected to produce between 4.9-million and 5-million ounces of silver and between 33 500 oz and 35 000 oz of gold for the year.
Endeavour also said it had entered into a $75-million secured revolving credit facility to enhance its access to cash, which should allow management to remain acquisitive while metal and stock prices were depressed.
The company's TSX-listed stock traded up 2.79% at C$8.10 apiece on Tuesday.

TORONTO - It was about 29 degrees on that stinging November day in Cedar Park, Texas. The Marlies were in town to face the Texas Stars at the 6,800 seat Cedar Park Arena with one very notable absence in their lineup. Boasting no goals and a scant three assists after nine games, Nazem Kadri had been scratched.
"I'm not the type of player to cry about it or blame anybody else," Kadri recalled of the incident late in the 2012 calendar. "I took it upon myself and came out the next game and had the best game of my year so far.
"Really from there I didn't look back."
In rather stunning and punctuating fashion, Kadri has gone from being a very questionable part of the Leafs' future - a frustrating and often confounding talent - to a core piece of the puzzle moving forward. The 22-year-old has assumed the unlikely lead in team scoring after 20 games, totaling five goals, 12 assists and 17 points.
"I've been through a lot," he conceded of his Toronto tenure, which began at the 2009 NHL Draft in Montreal. "My three years here I've definitely grown as a hockey player and as a person as well. I've learned how to deal with a lot of different scenarios. It was tough on me for a little bit, but now that I'm starting to have some success and the team is starting to have some success, it definitely seems like it's paying off."
Of a winding road of development that included varied twists, turns, and media-driven controversies, Kadri concedes that "[t]here's a lot of different things I could maybe do differently or not like I did." He notes that his eating habits - a subject of much intrigue at Marlies training camp - could have been better. But maybe more interesting is his response when questioned on what advice he'd offer the 19-year-old who made his NHL debut in February 2010. "Just to be more simple," the elder Kadri advised. "Every shift you don't have to go out there and wow somebody and make fans jump out of their seats. Some shifts you've got to stick with the program and make the easy plays because in the long run it's going to get you more opportunity."
And that is perhaps the picture of evolution when it comes to Kadri. He can still 'wow somebody' as he did in Philadelphia on Monday evening, lofting a delicate back-hand pass to Nik Kulemin for the second Toronto goal in a 4-2 win, the first of his two assists. But at the patient urging of Eakins for three years with the Marlies and now Randy Carlyle with the Leafs, those dazzling arrays of creativity are being balanced (at times) with the 'safe and easy play'.
"That's one of the things that I've really worked on, especially with Dallas," Kadri said.
"There's certain times where I'm allowed to make plays and I have the free will to make plays, but there's other times where you've got to get the puck in deep, you've got to play simple. Those are just like [the] last couple minutes in a period or in a game where you don't really want to take a chance, you just make the safe and easy play."
"It's the choice of when he tries to make some of those razzle-dazzle plays are the things that are going to upset you," Carlyle said, noting early turnovers in Kadri's game after the win against the Flyers. "But on the other hand when he makes the plays to provide offence I don't think you can ever take that away from a creative player.
"I think the one thing about the maturity of a young player like Nazzie is when and where and how often you try the high-risk, high-reward. There's certain areas of the ice you accept it and certain areas that you don't. That's the learning curve that's going to continue to be put in place for him."
Kadri scored one goal and added two assists the night after he was scratched in Texas, totaling eight goals and 23 points over what could prove to be his final 18 games in the American Hockey League. He snatched a job with the Leafs at training camp and is among the biggest surprises so far this season. There were serious doubts as to whether he could (and would) evolve into an effective player for the Leafs, especially one who could succeed within the microscope of Toronto. He is gradually erasing those questions with his performance this season. With an almost unmatched flair and creativity, some grit and fire mixed in, Kadri (a restricted free agent this summer) is forcing his name into the group of core young players - Morgan Rielly, Jake Gardiner, James van Riemsdyk among them - that would seem to constitute the future in Toronto. He is changing the conversation from hype into reality.
"I really don't think a lot of other people could've been under the scrutiny and under the pressure and still be able to have that mental toughness to prevail," he concluded. "But that's just one of the many things I've been through."

IT'S HERE! ENERGY: Overdevelopment and the Delusion of Endless Growth
Posted Nov 27, 2012 by Tod Brilliant
Introducing our most ambitious publishing effort to date: ENERGY: Overdevelopment & the Delusion of Endless Growth. A partnership between the Foundation for Deep Ecology and Post Carbon Institute, this 336-page coffee table book is an unprecedented, visually-rich exploration of energy the realities of the modern world's energy addiction.
ENERGY takes an unflinching look at the systems that support our insatiable thirst for more power (and the ideas behind those systems) along with their unintended side effects. From oil spills, nuclear accidents, mountaintop-removal coal mining, and natural gas "fracking" to renewables, every source of energy has costs. As the authors and photographers assert and show, no place is sacred, no landscape is safe from the relentless search for resources to power perpetual economic growth.
ENERGY + The ENERGY Reader. Kindle and tablet versions coming soon.
ENERGY and The ENERGY Reader offer not only a deep critique of the current system but a hopeful vision for a future energy economy in which resilience, health, beauty, biodiversity, and durability, not incessant growth, are the organizing principles.
Edited by Tom Butler and George Wuerthner, with a foreword by Douglas Tompkins and introduction by Richard Heinberg, ENERGY features the writing of more than thirty leading thinkers (including Wes Jackson, Wendell Berry, Bill McKibben, and Sandra Steingrabber) on energy, society and ecology. It also features over 150 stunning color photographs from dozens of today's most respected nature and landscape photographers. The ENERGY Reader includes four bonus essays by Winona LaDuke, Vandana Shiva, Gloria Flora, and Michael Watts).
In an effort to extend its impact, ENERGY will be the educational centerpiece of PCI's comprehensive Energy Reality Campaign. This campaign will link the efforts of hundreds of individuals and organizations to raise energy awareness and promote effective responses to our shared energy predicaments. Details soon!

My heart sank when I read "Patrick targets local aid to help cover budget gap" (Metro, Dec. 5), reporting further reductions in state funding of schools. My grandson had just come home from kindergarten, sadly reporting that he couldn't take out a book during his class's weekly library visit. There wasn't anyone to check out the books.
That's because, as a result of budget cuts, his school no longer has a library teacher. She has been replaced with volunteers. If no volunteer shows up, no books are checked out.

Tired of the same fish on your dinner table week after week? If you want to try something new, I'd like to introduce you to a hidden little treasure of a fish called swai (sw-eye).
It is similar to catfish with its white flesh, but has a milder flavor and more delicate texture. This fish is from Vietnam and brings a moist, sweet taste to your tongue with a coarser texture to break up the sometimes perceived "slimy" feel of fish. It has a very approachable flavor for most people who don't normally like freshwater fish.
In other stores, you may find this fish under the name shark catfish, striped catfish or tra. Don't be fooled as swai is not basa or panga (fish from Vietnam and South Africa with a more delicate flake).
As an added bonus, there may be no other fish quite as versatile as swai, as it can be broiled, baked, sautéed and even coated with bread crumbs and fried. Swai can be prepared using any of your favorite white fish recipes or simply paired with a fresh mango salsa.
Enjoy this new taste from the other side of the globe!
It was created with a simple goal in mind: to provide you with a heaping scoop of mealtime inspiration and food education from our passionate and knowledgeable staff. Our contributors come from every corner of our company and are truly experts in their field.

Her haggard appearance at times shocked fans who had once been drawn to the singer's world-class smile and approachable glamour in music videos, album covers, concerts and, later, hit films. Songs like "I Will Always Love You" and "Saving All My Love for You" had women around the world singing along with the star, but by the end of the 1990s they barely recognized her.

Epidural Shots
Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Itchy Epidural
When my OB/GYN asked me what my birthing plan was I looked at her like a lost dog. I wanted to say, "Well, if you mean pushing the baby out, that's it."
She saw my confusion and said, "Do you plan on having a natural birth, bath birth or drugs?" I quickly replied, "Drugs please!"
When I checked into the hospital, the nurse told me I could get the epidural at any point so I got it right away.
To see how the epidural surprised me, read more.
As I rested in the hospital bed numb to my contractions, I began to experience a different sort of discomfort. Instead of feeling the gut wrenching labor pains, I suddenly felt the urge to scratch my arms. I looked around the room for mosquitoes or some other pest that might have bitten me.
As the minutes passed, the itchiness increased and both arms soon felt the torturous nagging. It quickly became evident that the epidural canceled the lower pain, but caused irritation in my upper limbs.
The best remedy for the situation was a cold wet washcloth.

Attorney Brian Lee recently pledged $20,000 to help fund continuing education for emergency medicine personnel at Saratoga Hospital. The gift—to the hospital's Brian Lee Law Firm Emergency Medicine Education Endowment Fund—is the latest example of Lee's commitment to ensuring that residents of Saratoga County benefit from advances in emergency medical care.
Lee established the fund in 2011 with a gift of $15,000. His goal is to build an endowment that will help fund emergency medicine education for generations to come. Meanwhile, Lee has made additional gifts to meet current emergency medicine education needs. Because of his generosity, 20 nurses recently were able to earn their Certified Emergency Nurse certification. Others are enrolling in the Trauma Nursing Core Course.
The Brian Lee Law Firm represents persons injured in auto collisions and falls. Lee estimates that 80 percent of his clients who are involved in auto collisions are first treated for their injuries at Saratoga Hospital's Alfred Z. Solomon Emergency Center.
"We're interested in doing everything we can to ensure the best possible emergency care for our clients and for the community," he said. "The sooner people get the correct diagnosis and receive the best urgent care, the faster they will recover."
Attorney Brian Lee presents his $20,000 pledge to Amy Raimo (center), executive director, Saratoga Hospital Foundation, and Ann Marie Cross, administrative director for Emergent and Urgent Care Services, Saratoga Hospital.

Lagging luxury signals global troubles
More weak reports could be the symptom of a bigger problem.
By Lawrence Meyers
Last month, I wrote about weakness in Tiffany & Co. (TIF), and my thesis was that luxury led us out of the financial crisis, so any slowdown there may foretell further recession. A certain deceleration is expected in this sector because of difficult year-over-year comparisons, but Tiffany's organic revenue growth was only 2%. Ralph Lauren (RL) and Coach (COH) also came in weak.
And now Burberry Group (BURBY) has joined the list. Last week, the company warned that it would see only a 6% increase in revenue and that such a jump would be entirely due to new stores, while same-store sales would be flat. This contrasts with more than 60% revenue growth in the first quarter of 2011.
The company also said profits would come in at the lower end of expectations. So one by one, the luxury brands are starting to decelerate, and that worries me. It also worried the market, which sent Burberry shares down 21%.
This comes on top of not one but two warnings from FedEx (FDX). The more recent came as the company reported earnings and cut its 2013 forecast significantly -- to a range of $6.20 to $6.60 from $6.90 to $7.40. That's a 10% cut on the bottom line, and reflects the company's concerns about a global manufacturing slowdown.
Indeed, U.S. industrial production fell by the largest amount in three years. If the supply side contracts, that suggests consumers aren't (and won't be) spending as much as they have been, and that directly impacts consumer discretionary stocks. Add in high gas prices and double-digit real unemployment, and you start to see the problems in a even better light. Rival UPS (UPS) has expressed the same concerns about a global slowdown.
The real question with consumer spending, though, is whether the trend affects higher-income earners who purchase luxury goods. At first, it didn't seem to as much. But a recent report showed that Americans lost 40% of their wealth as a result of the crisis, so even richer folk aren't feeling as rich as they once did.
Now, the news isn't all bad in the luxury sector. The French luxury company Hermes (HESAF) expects sales growth of 10% compared to last year's increase of 18%. Sales in China were up 25% and 10% in Europe.And Salvatore Ferragamo saw Q2 profits up 23% on a 17% increase in sales. Even Ferrari set a sales record in both revenues and cars delivered in its first half and IPO-star Michael Kors (KORS) keeps plowing along.
Still, the lesson is that you want to be ahead of the curve regarding the global economy — certain stocks should be cut from your portfolio before that slowdown turns up in their earnings report. And right now, I'd be looking askance at the luxury sector and consider deploying that capital elsewhere.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has declared a hunger strike to press the government to sign a landmark deal with the European Union.
Tymoshenko's lawyer, Serhiy Vlasenko, announced the decision Monday at a protest against the government's move to shelve the association and trade deal with the EU and forge closer ties with Russian instead.
The EU considers Tymoshenko's imprisonment politically motivated and has warned it will not sign the deal unless Tymoshenko is freed. It is not her first hunger strike.
Ukraine' President Viktor Yanukovych has resisted the EU pressure, apparently fearing that Tymoshenko, whom he closely defeated in the 2010 vote, would challenge him again in the 2015 presidential election
Last week, Tymoshenko said in an open letter she was ready to ask the EU to drop the demand for her release if it can help persuade Yanukovych to sign the deal.

This Insane Brownie Chocolate Cake is truly INSANE! We're talking insanely good! It is one of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had! Rich, fudgey, and full of chocolate! It's like what would happen if a rich chocolate cake and a fudgey brownie had a baby. If you're not a chocolate lover (do they really exist?) you might want to look away. I made this cake for my daughter's birthday last week. She wanted lots of chocolate so she was quite the happy child! This is an easy recipe but maybe not one of my more "snappy" recipes. This Insane Brownie Chocolate Cake is definitely a great recipe and cake for birthdays, holidays (Christmas or Valentine's Day would be great!), or any special occasion! If it was up to me though, I'd say Insane Brownie Chocolate Cake is perfect any day!… [read more]

Diocletian Palace Walking Tour and Optional Trip to Trogir
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Diocletian Palace Walking Tour and Optional Trip to Trogir. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Being the only person on this tour afforded me such a personal experience. It is always nice to learn of the facts behind what you see!
This tour was fantastic! Our guide Iris was extremely knowledgeable and very sweet! We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
The palace is amazing with so much preservation for an area that is heavily used. Of course, the weather helps but still, 1,800 years - wow! The tour was good, though I wish it included the basement, but the tour guide was extraordinary. I am embarrassed to admit I do not know his name but he was one of the best we have ever had. The trip to Trogir and the cathedral with the detailed work on the door that the guide explained was a do-not-miss.
The guide was excellent! Very professional and knowledgeable.
Tour was shorter then stated.
Susan M
More like 3.5 actually; it was a hot day in Split and we also thought the Tour was for 2hrs (we only did 1.5 hrs which was sufficient in any case).
Tour guide ill prepared because of unfortunate fall experienced by her mother. Will no doubt provide better service when less stressed. She did what she could in difficult circumstances
Was just OK- a good way to see the Palace area but felt rushed (our guide only spent less than an hour) and didn't include anything like the bell tower or the cellars tour.
William D
Not really worth the money. A good guide book and a map will do much the same thing.
Our guide was very knowledgeable but without whispers we could not hear her, she was also soft spoken. Also this was billed as an air conditioned bus to the second stop. If it was air conditioned the driver chose not to use it. Many complained about the lack of air conditioning on this tour. All in all, pretty disappointed in this tour.
The tour was on a Friday which means it's at 12:00pm instead of 10:am, so we arrive at 11:50, wait 1/2 hour call the contact number they say they forgot about the time change for Fridays and will have somewhere within 1/2hour, so we waited. Finally a nice lady shows up. She was so boring , she stood in one place in from of a map for 20 minutes talking about the history of the palace. Yes we did want history but she made it beyond boring. After 1 hour an 20 minutes thank god the tour was over. It was cut short short, so not worth the money.

Most amazing doctor - kind, caring, compassionate...as a mom of a former 32-weeker, Dr. Ramos went above and beyond to make my second pregnancy a full-term success. He was on-call the night of Ethan's arrival at 39 weeks and 5 days! I think the world of Dr. Ramos and would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Ramos is the best doctor in the State of Rhode Island. He has helped me so much. I have been going to him for 14 years. I had a lot of trouble when I tried to have a second baby. After not being able to hold the baby to full term on three occasions, I finally got pregnant again and Dr. Ramos was there every step of the way. The day of delivery, Dr. Ramos was not on call, it was New Year's day 2002 and even though he had the day off, he came to the hospital to deliver my baby and said he had to be there because I had been through so much with the 3 micarriages before and he wanted to be there for the joyious occasion. A doctor that goes that extra mile all of the time, that is what Dr. Ramos does, he is kind, he listens and I don't think that there is a doctor out there that is as caring as he is. Even if you have to wait for him in the waiting room, that is because he has so many patients because he is a wonderful, caring doctor and I would not want to go to any other doctor ever

I love Dr. Ramos. He is very professional and kind. He helped me with I had a miscarriage awhile back. Because of his knowledge and expertise he was able to see me through to a full term pregnancy. He is well equipped with knowledge and a perfect mix of kindness as all Drs. should possess.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I've started work on a new project, or potential new project, but I desperately need some honest and constructive feedback. I feel like they are missing something, but I'm not sure what. Or maybe they work the way that they are. I've been staring at these almost everyday for a month and would like a new pair of eyes.
The idea of speaking your true feelings and thoughts to someone is completely terrifying, and it's even more awful and terrifying if it's something negative and to someone you care a great deal for. While communication is the backbone of all relationships, it puts more pressure on both party's shoulders; you want to be honest without being hurtful and sometimes it's just easier to not say anything at all. The result is a few days of heartache followed by weeks and sometimes months of "what I should have said was…" or "I can't believe I never said…"; it's an afterthought of guilt, heartache, embarrassment, shame and unrealized honesty. These have become the letters I should have written you.

Want to have a long career in the music industry? Forget about the solo spotlight and join a band. Researchers in Liverpool and Manchester, England have found that solo music stars are more likely to die young than those in bands.
The study, published in the journal BMJ Open , looked at the careers of 1,400 European and North American pop stars who were famous between 1956 and 2006. The odds of a European solo artist dying young was one in 10, and the odds were one in five for North Americans.
The cut-off date of the study was February of 2012, and at that point, it was found that 137 musicians had died prematurely, from solo stars like Elvis Presley , Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson , to people in groups like Nirvana 's Kurt Cobain and The Sex Pistols ' Sid Vicious . Among that total, solo stars were twice as likely to die prematurely than those in bands. The average death age for European stars was 39; for North Americans, 45.
The authors of the study speculate that North American stars are more likely to die than Europeans because they don't have as easy access to health care, there are more drugs around and health-sapping tours are longer and more grueling in North America.
So why do solo stars go to Rock and Roll Heaven more often than group members? It seems to be about the emotional support that the band environment offers.
Honey Langcaster-James , a psychologist who specializes in celebrity behavior, tells the BBC that because solo artists "go it alone," they can find themselves surrounded by "paid employees" who are only interested in them "from a financial point of view and not in their personal needs." As a result, they're isolated and don't know who to trust, and this can lead to bad decisions, such as drug addiction.
If you're in a band, though, you've got friends around you. Langcaster-James notes that band mates can rely on each other for support, and trust each other. As a result, the other members can stop band mates from "spiraling into self-destruction" because "they are all in it together."
So let's all start worrying about Katy Perry , Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift ; the guys in One Direction and Maroon 5 will probably be OK.

Cult of Mac has been doing a big push on the Liquidmetal angle over the past few day, and in talking to the founders of the company, they think Apple's already been playing with the material. The alloy's co-inventor Atakan Peker said this when he first encountered the SIM card ejector in an iPhone 3G:
"That's my metal. I recognized it immediately. Take it from an expert, that's Liquidmetal…It is practically unbendable by hand unless you want to hurt or cut your fingers,"

The time I chased the Pussycat Dolls at the VMAs
If you are ever forced to work as a talent escort at the MTV VMAs, you will have a keen, first-hand understanding of what Dickens meant by, "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times." In the music & talent department it is considered an honor to be selected to work with show talent — not everyone is invited/assigned to. Then the lucky chosen ones complain about it A LOT because it is basically babysitting famous people to make sure they show up on stage when they are supposed to during the live broadcast, which is so much more stressful than I could possibly explain.
In my tenure I mostly got off lightly, working with Kylie Minogue (who I requested and who was lovely and accommodating), Mark Ronson (also lovely but he was in that show so much that I think we rehearsed all day, every day for like a week) and the Ting Tings (so demure and easy that I had all sorts of time to closely observe how badly behaved certain other artists were that year but those are stories I simply cannot tell you).
One of my most interesting years was in 2005 at the VMAs in Miami, when I ended up shadowing the top talent exec for the show at the last minute, wearing her headset and carrying her Blackberry. She was the person everyone called when they had a problem, which made for a very fascinating night for me! Two favorite moments included finding myself in a hallway with most of the Miami police force & an army of personal security when 50 Cent and Fat Joe started some beef and watching a group of handlers try to explain to a certain female artist why she couldn't go on TV in a completely see-through shirt because the truth of that situation was not self-evident to her.
HOWEVER! The weirdest and most hectic year I worked at the VMAs was in 2006, when we tried to clear all the performances in the show the night of in order to make them available to buy on Rhapsody in time for the "enhanced" re-airing of it the following evening. I had execs running all night between MTV's Times Square offices and Radio City Music Hall to bring me the latest burned CD of their audio. I was ushered into Beyonce's dressing room to get her father/manager's approval and given the "do not speak to Beyonce!" stare of death when she unexpectedly returned (because that was exactly what I was burning to do obviously). I was shot down by Christina Aguilera. I was offered excited beers by that hot guy who sings for the All-American Rejects (they were very excited to have won a VMA for whatthehellever, you never have time to actually SEE any of the show when you're working). I got a phone call from Billy Gibbs of ZZ Top, who has the most amazing voice EVER. And, at one point, I literally had to run after the Pussycat Dolls, who were about to hop in a limo and leave, to get a CD of the single verse (they were lip synching) they did in T.I.'s performance that night into their hands. Nicole Scherzinger looked at me like I was a crazy person and said something to the effect of, "Uh I'm sure it's fine honey."
I think we might have sold a dozen downloads.
And that was when I knew for sure: there is no dignity in the music industry. But I had fun, just the same.

ST. CROIX COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - A court-appointed psychiatrist said Aaron Schaffhausen was depressed – but he was not insane when he killed his three young daughters in River Falls last July.
Dr. Ralph Baker examined Schaffhausen on behalf of prosecutors, and he testified Monday at a trial that will determine where Schaffhausen goes to prison, or to a mental institution.
Baker said he spent four hours with the 35-year-old Schaffhausen, and he believes the defendant has a major depression disorder but was not legally insane. The doctor said Schaffhausen described the killings as a, "spur of the moment thing."
His ex-wife allowed him to meet with the girls privately – and according to the testimony, Schaffhausen gave them money for their piggy banks and talked about taking them to a riverside park. But 5-year-old Cecilia could not find her shoes. And the next thing he knew, he was strangling the girl.
Schaffhausen told the psychiatrist he then went to get a kitchen knife, and cut the girls' throats. Baker said the defendant then put them in their kids, gave them a kiss, and said "good night."
Schaffhausen spilled gasoline in the basement, but told Baker he decided against lighting it. He drove around for a while before turning himself into the police.

Wimbledon Day 1 Preview
Published June 19, 2011 05:40
Monday, First Round (Bottom Half)
Centre Court
[6] Francesca Schiavone (ITA #7) vs. Jelena Dokic (AUS #45)
Head-to-Head: Dokic leads 3-0
By virtue of reaching the final on grass at 's-Hertogenbosch last week, Dokic is back in the Top 50 for the first time since October 2004. It's been a long haul for the former world No.4 but several factors could play in the 2000 Wimbledon semifinalist's favor today. Amazingly, her first two defeats of Schiavone were a decade ago, but the third came during her title run at Kuala Lumpur earlier this year. Assuming she's recovered from her Dutch exploits, she should also benefit from having played more matches on the green stuff than Schiavone, whose first round win at Eastbourne was her sole victory on the surface since a run to the quarters here in 2009. That said, many aspects of the Italian's game translate well from clay to grass and it might be notable that Roberta Vinci, who edged Dokic in the Den Bosch final, plays a similar game. Schiavone, of course, has added power and panache to draw upon.
Court 3
[15] Jelena Jankovic (SRB #15) vs. María José Martínez Sánchez (ESP #76)
Head-to-Head: Martínez Sánchez leads 2-1
While Martínez Sánchez hasn't won back-to-back WTA matches this season (Fed Cup, where she has gone 4-0, has been another matter), she remains one of the most intriguing players on the tour, with a skill set that should be impactful on grass (lefty serve, a commitment to serve and volley, great drop shots). And the biggest win of her career happened to come at the expense of Jankovic in the final at Rome last year. Meantime, Jankovic has been through her own rocky patch: between the US Open and Dubai, where she reached the semis, she didn't put two wins together either. Things have picked up considerably since then, but not enough to stop the former world No.1 from falling out of the Top 10 for the first time in four years. Wimbledon remains the only Slam she hasn't attained at least the semis, and if she is to change that this fortnight she'll have to hit the ground running.
Court 12
[WC] Naomi Broady (GBR #213) vs. Anne Keothavong (GBR #111)
Head-to-Head: Keothavong leads 2-0
The good news for the home fans is that Great Britain is guaranteed at least one woman through to the second round. The bad news is that this local derby will produce a very disappointed loser, because both players will view this draw as a tremendous opportunity. In 2009 Keothavong was riding high as the British No.1 , and indeed the first Brit to crack the Top 50 since 1993. But a left knee injury wrecked her trajectory, and now the 27-year-old is trying to break back into the Top 100. For her part, 21-year-old Grand Slam debutante Broady is at a career high No.213 this week, buoyed by a good second round finish as a qualifier at Birmingham, where her big serving game pushed in-form Peng Shuai to the absolute limit. While Keothavong edged her young compatriot 7-5 in the third at the recent ITF event in Nottingham, it will be interesting to see how the pressure of playing The Championships pans out.
More to watch…
Last year's runner-up, No.2 seed Vera Zvonareva opens her account against Alison Riske on Court 1. Five-time champion Venus Williams, the No.23 seed, plays Akgul Amanmuradova first on Court 2; fourth seed Victoria Azarenka plays Magdalena Rybarikova on the same court later in the day. British wildcard Katie O'Biren plays Kimiko Date-Krumm on Court 3 and No.12 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova plays Zhang Shuai on Court 4. Later, No.11 seed Andrea Petkovic plays lucky loser Stephanie Foretz Gacon last on Court 18 while new Den Bosch champion Vinci, seeded No.29, plays Vera Dushevina on Court 14. Daniela Hantuchova, the No.25 seed, closes the program on Court 17 against Russian qualifier Vitalia Diatchenko.

USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is suspending a number of statistical surveys and reports for the remainder of the fiscal year due to reduced funding caused by sequestration.
Before deciding upon the program suspensions, NASS reviewed its survey programs against mission- and user-based criteria as well as the amount of time remaining in the fiscal year to conduct the surveys with the goal of finding available cost savings and maintaining the strongest data in service to agriculture.
"I'm very disappointed we won't get this snapshot of the beef industry during this critical time," says Pro Farmer's Julianne Johnston. "Without this report, we won't have confirmation of whether or not producers have begun to hold back heifers and expand their herds."
The LIvestock Marketing Information Center has confirmed with USDA-NASS that the monthly milk production will not be released after the March Milk Production Report and will be suspended until further notice. This means there will not be any data, monthly, quarterly, or annual until funding returns. Similarly, the July Cattle Inventory is eliminated for this fiscal year and will not return unless funding becomes available.

You really shouldn't leave the island without trying the mixed seafood grill here (order for two or ask for a single portion if traveling solo). Prepared by a friendly local fisherman-turned-restaurateur, it's a wonderful feast of lobster tail, crab, fish and any other fresh catch that he may throw onto the grill that evening. Check your bill carefully.

DORTMUND, Germany -- Robert Lewandowski scored four goals and Borussia Dortmund took a huge step toward reaching the club's second Champions League final with a 4-1 walloping of Real Madrid on Wednesday.
With victory in the first leg of the semifinal, Dortmund, the only unbeaten side remaining in the competition, made it six wins in six at home and extended Madrid's run of six consecutive defeats in Germany.
Madrid archrival Barcelona was thumped by a German team the day before, losing 4-0 at Bayern Munich.
Lewandowski opened the scoring in the eighth minute, only for Cristiano Ronaldo to equalize against the run of play two minutes before the interval. Lewandowski beat the offside trap in the 50th for his second goal, and the Poland striker completed his hat trick in stunning fashion five minutes later.
"It was an outstanding game from my team," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. "The third goal was worth every cent (broadcasters) ZDF and Sky give us."
Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Guendogan, playing on the Madrid club's name, said: "It was a royal evening for us."
The only unbeaten side remaining in the competition, Dortmund made it six wins in six at home and extended Madrid's run of six consecutive defeats in Germany.
"I could see there was one team on the pitch that was much better than the other. The better team definitely won," Madrid coach Jose Mourinho said after his worst result as a coach in the Champions League.
Lewandowski took his chance a minute later, however, when Ilkay Guendogan sent Goetze free down the left, and the 20-year-old whipped in a dangerous cross that Lewandowski managed to reach ahead of Raphael Varane and Pepe.
Mesut Oezil almost played Ronaldo through as the visitors sought a response, but the pass was too far ahead of the Portugal star.
The visitors' troubles with Dortmund's pressure were summed up when Alonso went back to collect the ball from his goalkeeper, only to put a long pass out over the sideline.
Ronaldo brought a smart save from Roman Weidenfeller with a free kick, before Guendogan shot over at the other end as the visitors resorted to last-ditch defending.
Dortmund's forays forward had the crowd on their feet, rising to the occasion as they sensed something special was happening.
"Without this atmosphere this game would not have been possible," Klopp said. "One hundred per cent."
Penalty appeals were waved away after Reus fell under Varane's challenge in the area, and the home fans had further ground for complaint when Gonzalo Higuain seized on Mats Hummels' weak back pass and rolled it across goal for Ronaldo to fire into an unguarded net.
It was his 12th goal of this season's campaign in Europe and his 50th in the Champions League overall.
The game was being played at such a frenetic pace after the break that both sides found it hard to complete passes.
However, Lewandowski ran onto Reus' defence-splitting pass before tucking the ball past goalkeeper Diego Lopez, and he did even better five minutes later when he eluded Pepe by dragging the ball back and hammered the ball home from close range.
Lewandowski notched his fourth from the spot five minutes later, and could have even had a fifth late on, only to be denied by a flying save from Lopez.
Though Dortmund will be looking for only its second appearance in the final -- having won the competition in 1997 -- Mourinho refused to give up hope of Madrid reaching a 13th European Cup final.
"In football everything is possible," Mourinho said. "Anything can happen next week.
