CHAUTAUQUA - Once again, Chautauqua Opera has found the dramatic core of an infrequently performed opera, and shown us why it has survived for centuries.
''Manon Lescaut'' was Puccini's first success. While it may not have the sustained grandeur of ''Boheme'' or ''Butterfly,'' that rich, melody, the passionate capture of overwhelming emotion, was very much present. An excellent cast and a beautifully performing orchestra made it all live for music lovers Wednesday evening in Chautauqua's Norton Hall.
The libretto is based on the novel of the same name by the Abbe Prevost. It is the story of a very young woman on her way to a convent, who is kidnapped by a handsome young lover, then later by an aging libertine. Unwilling to live without either love or a comfortable life, she ends up denounced to the police as a woman of loose morals, living with men to whom she is not married, and is sent to exile in the wilderness.
Opera is always performed in English, from Norton Hall's stage. The translation by Keith and Emma Warner, which the company is using, was often uncomfortable, and stated things awkwardly. Nonetheless, the music has such power, especially in the beautifully balanced and rich orchestral reduction by Anton Coppola, that it told Manon's story for us perfectly.
Lovely Barbara Shirvis had a golden voice, in the title role. The character is barely 18, but the requirements of the music demanding maturity and power, and somehow she managed to achieve both.
Tenor Robert Breault has come to be known at Chautauqua for a sweet and expressive voice, capable of swelling to enormous power, and his performance as des Grieux, Manon's young lover, was certainly no exception.
Michael Chioldi sang the role of Lescaut, Manon's older brother. Lescaut is often portrayed as virtually pimping his young sister to men from whom he hoped to gain material wealth, but Chioldi gave him an arc, progressing like Manon, from an innocent from the country, to a person of genuine character.
Geronte, the wealthy tax collector who tempts Manon to become his mistress with jewels and luxury, similarly was given an arc. Still a self-centered blowhard, Kevin Glavin made Geronte a person of delicate ego, who knows he has little to offer but wealth, and who is stung to the core when even his money is laughed at.
Director Jay Lesenger has brought together top artists into a small production on a small stage, which had much the power of a production at a major international house.
''Manon Lescaut'' was reviewed in dress rehearsal, at company request. Some conductors tend to treat dress rehearsals as though they were performances. James Meena was rehearsing, all the way through, and the Chautauqua Opera Orchestra was responding sharply to his demands, and giving a lush and dramatic reading of the score which could only delight listeners.
A simple but beautiful set by Peter Dean Beck, sensitive lighting by Michael Baumgartner, historically effective costumes by B.G. Fitzgerald all came together to produce a thrilling evening of opera.
The opera officially debuts Friday evening, and repeats once, on Monday evening, at Chautauqua's Norton Hall.

Welcome to the City of Great Falls Animal Shelter
Our shelter houses many animals that need tender loving care and a great home!
The City of Great Falls Animal Shelter (GFAS) is an Open Admission Municipal animal shelter. We serve not only the City of Great Falls, but the entire Cascade County and surrounding areas.
The Mission of the Shelter is to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the animals and citizens of our community through education about responsible pet ownership.
Within the City of Great Falls there is some confusion about the different animal organizations. The City of Great Falls Animal Shelter is an entirely separate entity from all the other animal organizations. Information on some of the additional animal organizations in Great Falls may be found on our Pet Owner Resource tab.
The GFAS is operated under an annual budget of approximately $529,000. Approximately 2166 animals are brought into the shelter on a yearly basis. We use many resources to try and re-home every adoptable animal either by adoption or rescue group.
The City of Great Falls Police Department handles all Animal Control issues, the GFAS houses and cares for the animals only.

WASHINGTON TWP. — A woman was airlifted from the scene of a two-car accident this afternoon that left another woman trapped inside her Chevy Cobalt.
The accident happened shortly before 4 p.m. at at the intersection of Brass Castle Road and Kinnaman Avenue.
The female driver of a yellow Ford Focus with New Jersey plates was airlifted from the scene at approximately 4:30 p.m.
The female driver of a black Chevy Cobalt with Pennsylvania plates was trapped inside the car and was rescued by emergency first responders at approximately 4:40 p.m. Placed in an ambulance, she was not immediately taken away from the scene.
At this time the extent of their injuries is unknown.
Brass Castle Road and Kinnaman Avenue were temporarily closed in all directions, forcing drivers to turn around and take alternate routes. A school bus was allowed to pass through the area.
Earlier today a man who was ejected from his truck was airlifted from the scene of that accident on Route 31 in Clinton Township.

Hi, we have decided to try this new format for TFK tournaments. With only 2 players per group, either one or both will go through to the next round. Subsequent rounds almost certainly will have byes, randomly decided by the computer, so you may be lucky. This tournament should be different and fun so Good Luck :-)
If all this sounds like fun, come and look at http://www.chess.com/groups/home/the-friendly-knights where we run these chess.com tourneys as well as our own Ladder, Round Robins and Knockout competitions..
Round 1 has completed, commiserations to the 14 eliminated, congratulations to the 22 remaining, good luck in round 2 :-)
Hi everyone, we have posted The Friendly Knights Round Robin 6 tournament, where you decide when and how you play. If you would like to take part, please go to: http://www.chess.com/news/round-robins-6-a-competition-for-the-holidays-9223 Please note you must join the Knights to play.
Good Luck :-)
17/18 pairs now completed with 5 pairs through. One game left to round 2 :-)
16/18 now completed, still with 4 pairs.
Hi Folks,
I have just found out that the announcement is sending you msgs as well as posting when you log in to the tourney. I am sorry, I thought that function was switched off. I will post in here from now on until I can resolve the issue with chess.com.
15/18 complete with 4 pairs through.
13 of 18 now completed, with 4 pairs going through. Congratulations to the additional 3 who have moved in to round 2, Bad luck to the 3 that missed out.
10 of the 18 groups now completed with 4 pairs getting through. Well played to those that are through to round 2, commiserations to those who did not get through this time.
5 of 18 now completed, still 3 pairs gone through.
4 of the 18 groups have now completed, congratulations to all those who have gone through, commiserations to those who have missed out this time. Of the 4 that have completed, in 3, both parties have gone through. This is much higher than I expected, but with only 4 groups completed, the sample size is small. In the other pairs tourneys that I am running, 2 are on target for 1/3rd of the groups to finish 1-1 and one group is running at 55% All this means that I am probably better at chess than prediction, but the margin is slim :-)
We are nearly up and running, so it should not be long to the start now, I have set the tournament to auto start, so good luck everyone and have fun :-)
Hi folks, this one is a little slow getting off the ground, but don't worry, 3 of the 4 that I posted last week in this format are now running, so we should get there :-)

A Jersey City woman has been charged with beating her 2-year-old daughter, who died after the alleged May 14 incident. Prosecutors are awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine if more serious charges will be filed, officials said today.
Jennifer Cruz, 30, of the 100 block of Garfield Avenue, is currently also charged with endangering the welfare of her daughter, as well as endangering the welfare of her 1-year-old son, according to the criminal complaint.
A court official said there is a warrant for Cruz's arrest out of New York on similar charges.
Cruz struck the girl, "causing bruising to her forehead, left cheek, chest and left arm," the complaint says. She is also charged biting the boy "on the left shoulder, breaking the skin," the complaint says.
Probable cause for the charge regarding the boy is the sworn statement of a person "who witnessed the assault of (name omitted) and confirmation of trained medical personnel who observed the injury," the complaint says, adding that Cruz was arrested yesterday.
Probable cause for the charge regarding the girl is the statement of a person who saw bruising on the girl after "she was in the care and custody of the defendant," as well as observation by a medical professional at the Jersey City Medical Center, the complaint says.
Hudson County Deputy First Assistant Prosecutor Debra Simon said an autopsy has been performed on the girl at the state Regional Medical Examiner's Office in Newark and investigators are awaiting the results to determine if homicide charges will be filed.
Simon said the girl died yesterday, but provided no further information. A neighbor called The Jersey Journal and said there was a big police presence outside the girl's home.
Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor Gene Rubino said the girl's death is being treated at "suspicious" at this time.
Cruz's bail had already been set by Hudson County Superior Court Judge Paul DePascale when she made her first court appearance on the charges today in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City today via video link from Hudson County jail in Kearny.
Cruz gave a sworn statement to investigators confirming she is the biological mother of both children, the complaint says.

Conklin, NY (WBNG Binghamton) The New York State Parks and Recreation Commissioner is encouraging boaters to stay safe by putting a new law into effect.
Just like knowing the rules of the road, it is also important to learn the laws of the waterways as well.
Just in time for Boater Safety Week, a new state law was took effect on May 1. All operators born on or after May 1, 1996 are now required to obtain a Safe Boating Certificate by completing a boater safety course.
Phasing in the law could cause a few growing pains for some, but Marinas and other boating specialists say the extra education will prove to be a positive change.
"At my age, who never needed a license of any kind, it seems like an infringement. But it's probably a good thing because there are a lot of very dangerous accidents that have occurred on Seneca, Cayuga, the rivers too," said Richard Hobart, owner of Eye Rock Marine in Conklin.
Prior to 2014, only youth operators had to hold a Safe Boating Certificate to captain a personal watercraft.
Boating safety courses will be offered in the area through the State Parks Marine Service Unit, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, or U.S. Power Squadrons. A list of courses in the area can be found
To eliminate the need to carry an extra piece of paper around, you can choose to have the certification reflected on your driver's license as a small anchor symbol.
Before the first ride of the season, Hobart says it is also imperative to check that lights, engines, and horns are working correctly, and that all watercraft have life preservers.
The Coast Guard estimates that 80 percent of deaths could have been prevented simply by wearing a personal floatation device.

Editor's note: The AJN editorial news team selected the following stories to watch over the coming year based on their relevance to nursing practice and the likelihood that more information will be forthcoming over the next few weeks and months.
DEA rules and pain control in long-term care. A Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) statement of policy released in October 2010, Role of Authorized Agents in Communicating Controlled Substance Prescriptions to Pharmacies, was widely reported to include a policy change that would speed nurses' ability to treat pain in long-term care facilities.
Careful reading of the document, however, reveals that it's primarily a restatement of existing policy. "DEA regulations on the role of authorized agents in communicating controlled substance prescriptions to pharmacies generally have not changed," it states.
Rather, the statement merely outlines the means for establishing a valid agency relationship and explains the roles that designated agents are permitted to play regardless of setting. Nurses in long-term care facilities are now clearly named as such agents, which should prevent confusion over who can communicate controlled substance prescriptions to pharmacies, but whether this will actually have the desired outcome is unclear.
As the topic of health care delivery heats up this year, keep an eye on this particular issue as nurses, pharmacists, and leaders in long-term care encourage further changes to support better pain relief for patients in long-term care facilities.
Arthritis prevalence is expected to increase significantly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed National Health Interview Survey data from 2007 through 2009 on adults at least 18 years of age and determined that arthritis and its associated limitations on physical activity "represent a major public health problem in the United States."
One in five respondents reported having the disease as diagnosed by a physician, which, extrapolated to the U.S. population, translates into 49.9 million adults with arthritis (and 21.1 million with "arthritis-attributable activity limitation"). The results of the self-reported annual survey were published in the October 8 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Arthritis was defined as "some form of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, or fibromyalgia." Aging and obesity were tagged as the primary contributing factors, with obesity in particular contributing to osteoarthritis of the knee.
The report calls for implementation of obesity-prevention strategies and local community-based efforts to increase physical activity programs and education courses on self-care. Read the report at http://bit.ly/bxoOva, and watch for forthcoming articles on arthritis in AJN this year.
Keep an eye on REMS requirements. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is authorized to require Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) if it determines that they're needed to ensure that the benefits of a drug outweigh the risks. Such strategies can include (among other things) medication guides, "Dear Health Care Provider" letters, readjudication of studies, and clinician or pharmacist training.
Risk–benefit information is particularly crucial when patients are taking drugs for prevention. For example, in response to data showing that atypical femoral fractures may occur in patients using bisphosphonates for longer than five years, the FDA recently required labeling changes for all such agents used to treat osteoporosis. FDA letters to manufacturers included a notice that REMS are now required for these agents, and clinicians were advised to interrupt therapy until a risk–benefit assessment for the patient is performed.
Likewise, REMS were approved in February 2010 for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, which may increase tumor growth and shorten survival in patients with cancer. The drugs have been used in oncology to treat anemia associated with chemotherapy, reducing the likelihood that transfusion will be needed. The FDA's growing list of required REMS can be monitored at http://bit.ly/d1F587.

Marlins-Nolasco contract talks update
With an eye towards the future, the Marlins are hoping to sign Ricky Nolasco to a multiyear contract. Based on how talks have gone recently, there is a better chance that the two sides will agree to a one-year deal for 2011, and see how things progress from there.
The last serious talks between both sides was last Thursday, Sept. 2. As reported recently by Juan Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, there is a "significant gulf" between the parties.
Indications are, for at least for now, the sides are planning on discussing a one-year deal after the season for 2011. Because Nolasco has "Super Two" arbitration status, he reached arbitration in 2009. But he won't have the necessary six-years of MLB service time to become a free agent until after the 2012 season. So Nolasco, who is making $3.8 million now, is under club control for two more years.
There is a chance the team will go year to year, meaning they will have Nolasco for when they move into their retractable-roof ballpark in the Little Havana section of Miami in 2012.
Nolasco is undergoing surgery to repair a medial meniscus tear in his right knee. Although he won't pitch again in 2010, there is no indication the Marlins are concerned about the right-hander having a speedy recovery.
As history has shown, having talks stall in early September doesn't mean a multiyear contract won't be reached sometime before the start of Spring Training in 2011. Last offseason is an example.
In November of 2009, negotiations between the Marlins and Josh Johnson broke down. In January, Johnson signed a four-year, $39 million contract.
Nolasco finished 2010 with a 14-9 record and a 4.51 ERA. His 54 wins are second most in Marlins history behind Dontrelle Willis' 68.
The Marlins also are in the process of trying to sign Dan Uggla to a multiyear contract. But both sides haven't talked seriously in about three weeks.

Mendez starts, strains quad
Adalberto Mendez had everything going for him in his Major League debut. That is, until the time he collected his first MLB hit.
After slapping a single to right field in the seventh inning, Mendez pulled up as he approached the bag. He stumbled a few steps and was immediately treated. He exited with a right quad strain and is listed as day to day.
Mendez said he cramped and that he is fine. The team hasn't ruled out him making his next start.
Mendez, 28, was enjoying a stellar day until the time he was helped off the field.
Promoted from Triple-A New Orleans, the 28-year-old limited the Phillies to one hit over six scoreless innings. He struck out six, walked two and hit a batter.
Having thrown 89 pitches with 55 strikes, Mendez was expected to go back out for the seventh inning.
— Joe Frisaro
Morrison back in lineup
Considering himself "really lucky," Logan Morrison was back in the Marlins lineup on Monday in Game 1 of a doubleheader with the Phillies at Citizens Bank.
Morrison received a scare and a big bruise under his left eye after being hit in the face by a foul ball off the bat of Emilio Bonifacio in the 10th inning on Sunday.
While standing on deck, Morrison was timing the pitches and simulating a swing when he was struck by the foul ball. Bonifacio ended up hitting a triple, and scoring on Scott Cousins' pinch-hit walk-off single to beat the Braves, 7-6.
Cousins batted for Morrison, who was tested. An X-ray came back negative, and Morrison passed the vision tests. He also didn't show any symptoms for a concussion, so he was cleared to play.
"I got really lucky, for sure," said Morrison on Monday, sporting a big bruise under his left eye. "It looks a lot worse [than it feels]."
Why would the rookie left fielder risk playing now?
"These are important games. I want to be out there if I can," he said. "I didn't have any symptoms [for a concussion]. No dizziness. No ringing in the ears. So I was really, really lucky. I probably won't be standing out there any more."
Lineup for Monday, Game 1: Emilio Bonifacio (CF), Logan Morrison (LF), Hanley Ramirez (SS), Dan Uggla (2B), Gaby Sanchez (1B), Chad Tracy (3B), Mike Stanton (RF), Brad Davis (C), Adalberto Mendez (P).

Ceda, Buente get called up
In preparation for a day/night doubleheader on Monday, the Marlins have loaded up on pitchers.
The team announced that right-handed relievers Jose Ceda and Jay Buente have been recalled from Double-A Jacksonville.
The Marlins and Phillies will play two games at Citizens Bank Park. The first game makes up a rainout on June 9.
Ceda will be in a big league uniform for the first time. And the organization will get its first glimpse at the hard-throwing right-hander who potentially can be a big part of their future.
At 6-foot-4, 275-pounds, he is an imposing figure. But Ceda has dealt with shoulder problems since he was obtained from the Cubs for Kevin Gregg on Nov. 13, 2008.
Ceda appeared in 27 games for Jacksonville, and he's struck out 45 and walked 20 in 32 1/3 innings.
If healthy, Ceda may emerge as a factor in the bullpen, not just for the rest of the season but into the upcoming years.
Ceda posted a 4-1 record and 1.39 ERA for the Suns.
Buente, meanwhile, appeared earlier this season with the Marlins. He's pitched in four games and logged 5 1/3 innings.
Buente has also seen action in 34 Minor League games, and he's logged 48 2/3 innings, and he has a 3.14 ERA.
After the season, Buente is expected to pitch in the Arizona Fall League.

Rivera, Mendez brought up
The Marlins added some catching depth and another arm on Saturday, as their September call-up period continues.
Catcher Mike Rivera and right-hander Adalberto Mendez had their contracts selected from Triple-A New Orleans.
Rivera, 33, has played in parts of seven big league seasons, breaking in with the Tigers in 2001. Rivera also played for Padres and the Brewers. He last played for the Brewers in 2009.
Mendez was 5-4 with a 4.14 ERA in 28 games with nine starts for New Orleans. The plan is to start Mendez in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader at Philadelphia. Anibal Sanchez will start in the second game.
— Joe Frisaro
Hensley closing for now
Closing time will have a new look for the Marlins.
Clay Hensley, who has been the primary eighth-inning setup reliever, has been switched to closer in place of Leo Nunez.
Nunez, who is 29 of 37 in save opportunities, will now be in a setup spot. The team is hoping he can fine tune things without the pressure of logging the final outs.
In August, Nunez saved three of six games, and he had a 9.31 ERA in 9 2/3 innings. Opponents batted .391 against him in the month.
Nunez worked a scoreless eighth inning in the Marlins' 6-1 win over the Braves on Friday night.
Because it wasn't save opportunity, Burke Badenhop finished up the ninth inning.
Hensley has never logged a save in his big league career. But the right-hander has been steady in the bullpen. In 60 2/3 innings, his ERA is 2.67, and he has struck out 66 while walking 23.
— Joe Frisaro
Gaby in lineup Friday
On a day he was suspended for three games by Major League Baseball, Gaby Sanchez was back in the Marlins lineup on Friday in the series opener with the Braves.
Sanchez is appealing his three-game penalty levied by MLB on Friday. Sanchez was involved in the melee with the Nationals on Wednesday night.
Friday also marked the return of Dan Uggla to the starting lineup. Uggla missed three straight games due to a strained right groin.
The Marlins on Friday also announced they selected the contracts of outfielder Scott Cousins and reliever Chris Leroux from Triple-A New Orleans.
Here's the Marlins lineup for Friday: Cameron Maybin (CF), Logan Morrison (LF), Hanley Ramirez (SS), Dan Uggla (2B), Gaby Sanchez (1B), Chad Tracy (3B), Mike Stanton (RF), Brad Davis (C), Andrew Miller (P).
— Joe Frisaro
Surgery a success for Baker
Don't rule out John Baker being back in 2011, and perhaps being ready for Spring Training.
Baker underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday, having his right elbow ligament repaired by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala. All went well.
In a text message on Friday, the Marlins catcher noted that he was upbeat. As for recovery, he said: "There were even some rumblings of the words 'Spring Training.' "
Dr. Andrews on Friday also smoothed the olecranon — the bone at the tip of his right elbow. In 2007, Baker broke the same bone.
Baker is looking forward to soon beginning the recovery process, and he is looking forward to coming back "stronger than ever in 2011."
With Baker out, Brad Davis currently is handling the Marlins catching duties. Chris Hatcher is backing up.
On Monday, the team added some catching depth by signing Mike Rivera to a Minor League contract. Rivera could join the club at any time.

Baker to have Tommy John surgery
The injury news isn't getting any better for the Marlins.
On Friday, catcher John Baker will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. The procedure will be performed by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala.
Baker, who hasn't played since May, may need about a year to recover.
Also, on Thursday, infielder Donnie Murphy, who dislocated his right wrist on Wednesday night, underwent surgery.
Murphy, who started at second base in the Marlins' 16-10 win over the Nationals, dislocated his wrist while making a catch on Ian Desmond's short fly ball into shallow center field in the fourth inning.
Sometime next week, pitcher Ricky Nolasco will have surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. Nolasco is out for the season.

2012 Family Catch Day
"As our lives become more and more hectic, it is important to keep simple traditions alive, such as having a catch with your children," Molinaro said.
The event gets its inspiration from the book "Hey Dad, Let's Have a Catch," by Harold Theurer Jr., a Brooklyn resident who earned his bachelor's degree in psychology from Wagner College.
It was held yesterday evening at the Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George, where families were invited to take the field and have a catch with their friends. Players from the Staten Island Yankees were also on hand to throw the ball around with young fans.
"This was started as a way for kids to get out of the house, put down their phones and games and go outside for a good, old-fashioned catch," said Jane Rogers, president of the Staten Island Yankees. For just about an hour, kids got to play with the minor leaguers -- tossing the ball back and forth as the sun set at the park.
Ryan McLaughlin, 9, of West Brighton, impersonated some of his favorite Yankees as he made leaping catches at the outfield wall.
"It's great to have the chance to meet the players and have a catch with them on the field like this," he said after hurling himself into the blue padded wall. "I'm really happy to be here and experience this."
Said Ms. Rogers: "The kids really have fun having a catch with the ballplayers, and the players get a lot out of it too. Everyone just seems to have a really nice time."

By Tracy Beckerman
"Does this car make me look fat?" I asked my husband.
He just blinked at me. I thought that maybe the lights at the car dealership were blinding him and that's why he was blinking. I was fairly sure it had nothing to do with my question.
"I mean, it is a big car and I might look big by association, you know?" I clarified.
He blinked again. They were obviously some really bright lights.
"Although…" I continued. "Since the car is so big, I actually might look smaller in comparison. On the flip side, of course, if I got a small car, people would assume I had to be small to fit into it. But then again, I might look really large getting out of it, so I'm not really sure which way to go."
My husband walked over to the SUV we were considering, opened the door, and banged it against his head.
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
I stared at him. I really had no idea why this was so confusing to him. I realized that there were many important factors to consider when buying a car — cost, gas mileage, safety features, warranty. But clearly the issue of driver appearance was also something that needed to be addressed, as well. I wouldn't buy jeans that made me look fat. I certainly wouldn't buy a car that did either.
I recalled the first car I had owned — a midsized black sedan. I opted for this color because everyone knows black is slimming. Unfortunately, I chose to save a few bucks and got a car without air conditioning. Little did I know black cars heat up significantly faster and hotter than white cars and I spent three summers sweating like a polar bear in the Amazon. The good news was, I ended up sweating off so much weight, the whole thing was a moot point, anyway.
Meanwhile, back at the dealership, I noticed another woman checking out a minivan with her husband and three children in tow. I had a hunch that she would be much more help in my quest for a thinning car than my husband.
"Excuse me," I said to her. "I was wondering if I could ask you a question?"
"My husband and I are considering buying this car," I said, gesturing to a nearby SUV. "But I'm concerned that it, um, makes me look fat. Do you think that's crazy?"
She smiled. "Not at all."
I knew I had asked the right person. Only another woman could understand the relationship between your car and the size of your thighs.
"So what do you think?" I wondered.
"Is that the car?" she asked, gesturing to the SUV.
"And is that the color?"
"Yes," I replied again.
She thought for a bit and then nodded.
"I think that car is very slimming on you," she finally concluded.
I grinned.
"…But you might want to change your hair color."

The legendary folk singer passed away on Monday. Here, her family discuss their raw grief and the music they all shared
The singer Kate McGarrigle died of clear cell sarcoma on Monday at home in Montreal, aged 63. With her sister Anna she formed the acclaimed and influential folk duo the McGarrigle Sisters. McGarrigle was the former wife of singer Loudon Wainwright III (they divorced in 1976) and the mother of singers Rufus and Martha Wainwright — and the family played out their tangled relationships with one another in song. "That's why the stage felt like a living room," says Anna, "it's where they met and talked." McGarrigle made her last public appearance, with Rufus, Martha and Anna, at the Albert

One can't fault Bird for going a bit more toward the middle with his latest film, the Pixar-produced The Incredibles. But, even here, Bird has maintained his unique cinematic sensibilities by taking the visual acuity of computer animation and ripping it from the Disney formula we've come to expect. This doesn't mean that the formula in and of itself is bad. In fact, it has produced a string of fantastic animated films, from 1995's Toy Story to 2002's Finding Nemo. The Incredibles, however, is a slightly different beast. Melding a chic modernist aesthetic with James Bond gadget-cool and an innate sense of subtle social satire, Bird has crafted a sleek and original homage to the derring-do of our most cherished superheroes.
The world in which The Incredibles takes place is a fluid amalgam of the bold, clean modernism that characterized urban-set DC Comics of the 1930s and 1940s and an amusingly retro suburban style that feels like it was pulled from the pages of Good Housekeeping circa 1965. The film's central conceit is that there is no longer a place for superheroes in our overly litigious society. Bankrupted by frivolous lawsuits, the once mighty superheroes of the past are now relegated to a humdrum life of anonymity, unable to use their superpowers in the name of good lest some money-grubbing slob haul them to court for jarring his neck while pulling him out of the path of a speeding train.
Bird, who wrote and directed the film, has particular fun with his characters' superpowers, using them to both reflect their personalities and jab slyly at social norms. The main character is Bob Farr (Craig T. Nelson), who was once the mighty and powerful Mr. Incredible before being relocated by the government. Mr. Incredible's all-around steely strength and individualistic resolve is the perfect embodiment of traditional masculinity, which makes him that much more emasculated in his mind-numbing day job as an insurance claims agent who, rather than helping people, is supposed to deny as many claims as possible to maintain the bottom line. Bird conveys Bob's feelings of impotent entrapment by encasing his huge frame behind a desk in a tiny cubicle or, even better, behind the wheel of his ridiculously small car.
Bob's wife, Helen (Holly Hunter), was once Elastigirl, able to bend and twist herself like Silly Putty, which comes in handy as a suburban housewife managing three children, two of whom have already developed superpowers of their own. The older daughter, Violet (Sarah Vowell), is a typically mopey junior high dreamer whose ability to turn invisible reflects every adolescent's intermittent desire to simply vanish. Her younger brother, Dash (Spencer Fox), is a typically hyperactive elementary school kid who can move at supersonic speeds, so fast in fact that he can't be seen placing a tack on his teacher's chair while the teacher is in the act of sitting down.
Of course, because they've been relocated and are in hiding, this superpowered suburban clan cannot use their abilities. Their constant familial bickering is less a sop to sitcom silliness than a reflection of their repressed anger about their inability to express themselves. Dash has the hardest time with this, as he complains to Helen that she and Bob tell him to do his best, but he can't go out for any sports because he'll obviously blow away the competition.
When there is an opportunity for Bob to once again don his red and blue tights and save the world, he jumps at the chance, and Bird generates laughs with the way in which Bob's rekindling his superheroic alter ego improves his home life. Eventually, the rest of his family is pulled into the life again, as they do battle with Syndrome (Jason Lee), an ego-driven wannabe superhero who stages destruction so he can play his dream role. Thus, Syndrome is an amusing reflection of the dregs of celebrity culture, in which people strive to be famous not for any genuine accomplishment, but simply for the sake of fame itself.
With all of Pixar Animation Studios' technology at his disposal, Bird has made an absolutely fantastic-looking film. With every new computer-animated film that emerges from Pixar, the textures are more realistic and the details more attuned. The characters maintain an appropriately cartoonish look (computer-generated human characters who try to look too real still have an uncanny weirdness to them), but the backgrounds and props are so three-dimensional in their photorealism that at times you forget you're watching an animated film. However, Bird is not the kind of filmmaker who allows the style to overwhelm the meaning, and The Incredibles soars because it always keeps the characters and the stories in the foreground. Despite the outlandishness of the concept, the characters are infinitely human, and we feel for the Incredible family's frustration and the way in which it materializes in recognizably mundane ways. Much like Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films, The Incredibles works because we are equally convinced of the characters' superhuman powers and their humanity.

Hi everyone,
I ordered the new ITVV Virgin Atlantic 747-400 video about a month ago, and I just received it yesterday.
I opened the video box, checked that the cassette was in the correct VHS format (NTSC), put it into the VCR, hit the play button... No sound. No freaking audio. I turned the TV volume up to its max, checked the TV setup, the VCR setup, tried with digital audio/video cables and connected them first to the TV, then to a stereo system, and nothing, the video has no audio. Dammit! As soon as I finish posting this topic, I'm gonna send an e-mail to ITVV explaining my problem. They gotta send me a new video. The thing is, I'm gonna have to wait another month.
By the way, I saw several parts of the video yesterday, hoping only some minutes were perhaps damaged, and the rest had sound, but no. What I can tell you, is that it really looks great. It has awesome shots, especially during the takeoff and landing phases. The Captain explains everything, and I mean everything, about the 747. Anyway, if you have my luck, you can see him, but you don't hear anything.

The St. Bernard Parish Hospital Service District has appointed Medical Executive Committee members to oversee the new about $70 million, 113,000-square-foot public Chalmette hospital expected to open its doors next month. The committee will act as the organizational body that oversees the medical staff's functions, duties, activities and policies, and it will represent the medical staff and act on its behalf.
The hospital has passed the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals inspections and survey with no deficiencies and is now moving toward the final phase of its licensure process, according to Wayne J. Landry, St. Bernard Parish Hospital Service District chairman. That final phase includes passing an accreditation survey overseen by the Joint Commission of Accreditation for Hospitals, an independent body that handles certifications for hospitals.
Landry says the accreditation process is expected to begin on Sept. 5, and can take anywhere between two days to one week.
Construction of an adjacent about $13 million, 60,000-square-foot medical office building is expected to wrap up this fall. Both facilities sit between West Judge Perez Drive and St. Bernard Highway.
Since the privately owned, 196-bed Chalmette Medical Center was demolished in February 2007, the parish has had a health clinic run out of trailers by the nonprofit Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, but no emergency room or full-service hospital.
The new hospital has 40 patient beds: eight intensive care, four long-term care and 28 general inpatient. There also are four operating suites, two endoscopy suites and 10 beds in the emergency room.
When completed, the medical office building will include a clinic that can serve lower-income patients and others through a sliding fee scale. It also housing administrative offices and several physicians' offices.
The Medical Executive Committee is composed of Chief of Staff Dr. Abdolreza Vadiee, Vice Chief of Staff Dr. Mace Scott; Secretary/Treasurer Dr. Mark Jenkins II, Immediate Past Chief of Staff Dr. Bryan Bertucci; Department Chairman of Medicine Dr. John Hamide; Department Chairman of Surgery Dr. Kelvin Contreary, and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Paul Verrette.
Dr. Mace Scott, vice chief of staff, specializes in emergency medicine. A New Orleans native, Scott most recently has served as an emergency department physician at St. Tammany Parish and Terrebonne General Hospitals. He earned his doctorate of medicine from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in 2001, and completed his residency Earl K. Long Memorial Hospital in Baton Rouge. Scott became board certified in 2010 by the American Board of Emergency Medicine
Dr. Bryan Bertucci, immediate past chief of staff, specializes in family medicine and has served as St. Bernard Parish coroner since 2002. A native of New Orleans and a long-time resident of St. Bernard, Bertucci earned his doctorate of medicine in 1980 from Louisiana State University Medical Center in New Orleans. He completed his residency at Earl K. Long Memorial Hospital in Baton Rouge, and became board certified in family practice in 1983 by the American Academy of Family Practice. Bertucci, a former board member and chief of staff at Chalmette Medical Center, has worked as a physician with the St. Bernard Community Health Center since its inception. He also has served as a board member and an affiliate member in an advisory capacity for the St. Bernard Parish Hospital Service District.
Dr. John Hamide, department chairman of medicine, specializes in radiology and interventional radiology. A native New Orleanian, Hamide most recently served as a radiology department physician at Touro Infirmary and Children's Hospital, both in New Orleans. He earned his doctorate of medicine in 2000 from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans, and he completed his residency in 2005 at LSU's School of Medicine in New Orleans.
Dr. Kelvin Contreary, department chairman of surgery, specializes in general and vascular surgery. A resident of New Orleans, Contreary has most recently worked at East Jefferson General Hospital. He received his doctorate of medicine in 1977 from Louisiana State University's School of Medicine, where he completed his residency. He was board certified in 1984 by the American Board of Surgery.
Dr. Paul Verrette, chief medical officer, specializes in internal medicine. Verrette, of Chalmette, received his doctorate of medicine in 1983 from Louisiana State University Medical School in New Orleans. He completed his residency at Charity Hospital in New Orleans in 1987, and became board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in 1988. Verrette served as a physician with Chalmette Medical Center and Lifecare Hospital prior to Hurricane Katrina, and has been on staff at the St. Bernard Community Health Center since its inception.

SAGINAW, MI — Two men who robbed a man in Old Saginaw City last year will spend 10 months in jail and could serve some of that time under house arrest if they enroll in college.
Saginaw County Circuit Judge James T. Borchard on Thursday sentenced Elmos L. Frazier, 21, and Jimmie Strickland II, 23, for unarmed robbery and conspiring to commit that crime Aug. 3 at South Hamilton and Van Buren.
Frazier, who last lived in Lathrup Park, and Strickland, who last lived at 3837 York in Saginaw, pleaded no contest to those charges in February. In exchange for the pleas, prosecutors dropped charges of armed robbery, assault with intent to murder, and conspiring to commit that crime.
Borchard sentenced the men to 10 months in jail and three years probation but said that they men would be eligible for house arrest on Aug. 21 if they enrolled in college. Frazier received credit for 16 days served, while Strickland received three days credit.
Borchard ordered the men to pay a total of $700 in restitution.

I've been getting knotts in my shoulders, back and neck pretty consistently for about 4 years now, which is pretty much how long I've been working out. Essentially, If I do back workout, I get them, and the more I do them, the worse they get. Also, if I am traveling for a long time (cooped up in car or plane) I will get them. They are pretty excruciating, and I can hear about 20 pops when I roll my shoulders, which can't be natural.
I've tried using a lacrosse ball on the floor and have produced nothing but pain so far.
I drink enough water before workouts.
I have pretty good posture.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am really at a loss. Does anyone else experience this?
Thanks in advance.

|Wine maker notes
|A region known for its Malbec, Mendoza has the ideal combination of climate and soil to coax forward a spicy intensity and plush texture from this varietal. We sourced our fruit from the Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo regions, where the vineyards sit at an elevation between 900 to 1,200 meters, experiencing an arid, high-dessert climate that can show extreme variations in temperatures over a single day. The sandy-loam soils are well-drained and nutrient-poor, which produce low yields of small grapes with concentrated flavors and intense aromas. We used a series of traditional winemaking techniques to craft this classic Malbec. The grapes were hand harvested into small bins and brought to the winery, where the fruit was destemmed and placed into stainless steel tanks. By keeping temperatures low, we extended fermentation time and retained the bright fruit flavors. Regular pump-over maintained good contact between the juice and skins. To impart lovely spice nuances, we aged 40 percent of the wine with French and American oak for 12 months.
|The Navarro Correas family descends from the Correas family, an old and prestigious name related to the production and manufacturing of high-quality wines. The family history dates back to 1798, when Sir Juan de Dios Correas planted the first vine seeds in the lands of Mendoza at the foot of the Andes ridge. Sir Juan De Dios also played an active role in the public life of Mendoza, where he served as Municipal Councillor in the year 1814 and as governor in 1824. Since mid 1800, and for more than a century, the family used to sell the Winery's grapes and wines to other producers. Finally, in 1974 Sir Edmundo Navarro Correas, a direct descendant of Juan de Dios Correas, started to manufacture wines bearing his own name.

LOS ANGELES — PBS will open its fall season with a binge-viewing opportunity: a seven-part Ken Burns documentary on the Roosevelt political dynasty, the network announced yesterday.
The Roosevelts: An Intimate History will air as two-hour episodes over seven nights, beginning on Sept. 14. Each episode will be repeated nightly and made available for online viewing after it airs, said Beth Hoppe, PBS chief programming executive.
"I think it's the best thing Ken's done since The Civil War," she said. "He thinks it might be the best thing he's ever done.
"We're trying to dish this up as an epic binge."
The series tells the stories of Presidents Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who were cousins, and Franklin's wife, Eleanor.
Another project by the Burns family — The Pilgrims by brother Ric — will air on Nov. 25. The American Experience film will examine what compelled British men and women to journey to a new land in 1620.
Ratings champ Downton Abbey won't return until January on PBS, but the network will offer a slate of alternatives to the drama in the fall.
Death Comes to Pemberley, based on novelist P.D. James' sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, will air on Oct. 26 and Nov. 2. It stars Matthew Rhys and Anna Maxwell Martin.
Bill Nighy will return as British spy Johnny Worricker, seen in 2011's Page Eight, in two stories. He'll be joined by Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Winona Ryder and Christopher Walken in the shows to air on Nov. 9 and 16.
Commercial networks will present their fall schedules next week.

The Marshfield Door Systems history is an American success story. In December of 1890 Axel Hatteberg inventor and entrepreneur began work on founding the company known today as Marshfield Door Systems. Hatteberg needed $25,000 in capital to get his company off the ground. By July of 1891 Axel Hatteberg secured the capital and formed the Hatteberg Veneer Company in Marshfield, WI.
The original manufacturing plant built in 1891 by Axel was a small one-story building. It started out as a veneer cutting operation and produced butter tubs and cheese boxes with an initial crew of 20. The company utilized a veneer cutter developed by its founder, which was at the heart of the start-up manufacturing company. He also perfected a veneer dryer. But it was the veneer cutter of which the inventor was particularly proud. It was, he boasted, the largest in the country capable of handling a log of 10 feet long and 4 feet in diameter.
In 1894 the company set out to find outside investment to help the company expand its' operation. What the company got was much more…W.H. Roddis provided additional capital and a new direction for the company. Roddis recognized the abundance of valuable hardwood species in the area; birch, maple, oak, basswood, and elm. Roddis also believed the company had a veneer capability that demanded higher margins than what could be made producing butter tubs and cheese boxes. He took the company in a new direction producing an increased volume of plywood. The company also turned toward veneer specialties, such as panels for beds, chairs, desks, etc., and was flexible enough to meet any veneer order.
By 1907 the company had grown to 55 employees with revenues of over $100,000 annually. Through a series of events W.H. Roddis acquired control of the company and renamed the entity the Roddis Veneer Company. In 1908, the company built a new facility and started producing their first solid core doors. The Roddis Company did not invent the flush door (a flat slab door) but was the first to recognize its potential and manufacture it on a large scale. The flush door was almost an immediate success as architects recognized its superiority for hotels, hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings. The Roddis Company made a national reputation on the excellence of its flush doors. It also made a fine reputation on its custom made plywood.
Hamilton Roddis took over the leadership roll at Roddis Veneer Company in 1920 when his father W.H. passed away. Hamilton built on the foundation his father left behind. Hamilton had great sense for manufacturing efficiencies in plywood which earned him the reputation as the Dean of the US plywood industry.
In World War II Roddis Veneer Company manufactured marine plywood for PT boats and interior plywood, panels, doors, and bulkheads for the construction of hundreds of Liberty Ships made by the US Maritime Commission. The plant made aircraft plywood and cut and shipped special birch veneer to Britain for use in construction of the famed De Havilland Mosquito Bomber. At least 90% of the production of the Marshfield plant during WWII was devoted to the war effort. Among later contracts awarded to the Roddis Veneer Company was the manufacture of the aircraft plywood used to construct Howard Hughes' HK-1 Flying Boat also known as the Spruce Goose.
By 1960 Roddis Veneer Company had grown to over 1000 employees and $59,000,000 in annual revenues. Recognizing the company's capabilities the Weyerhaeuser Corporation acquired Roddis as a strategic entry into the hardwood products business. In 1965, a significant event took place when the Weyerhaeuser Company opened a particleboard operation at the Marshfield complex. This particleboard plant was eventually converted to Steam Thru technology, which proved to be the most efficient technique for manufacturing particleboard door core. Marshfield remains to this day the only door company that manufactures its own core and provides our competitors with much of their particleboard and fire-resistant core products.
Weyerhaeuser's 1994 strategic plan included increasing production of factory-finished doors. The calculated increase brought forth many challenges including the threat of increased volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and the need to reduce lead times in response to the demands of the market. Weyerhaeuser turned toward the solution of UV curable finishes, implementing a flat-line UV finishing system, called Enviroclad™ UV. What had once taken Weyerhaeuser two working days to completely finish a door, now was completed in a mere 20 minutes, increasing production capacity by an estimated 300 percent.
In 1995, another sizable contribution that Weyerhaeuser made to Marshfield Door Systems was the development of DoorBuilder software. This quoting and estimating tool revolutionized the industry by shortening the time it takes to quote large projects, reducing costly mistakes and to help significantly shorten order lead times. Through the innovation that Weyerhaeuser contributed the company showed strong sales growth through the end of the millennium.
In 2000 Weyerhaeuser decided to strategically divest their door division and sold the company to Marshfield Door Systems a newly formed company back by the private equity firm Wind Point Partners.
Wind Point Partners owned the company for 11 years. Over this time Marshfield Door Systems continued to maintain its' number one position in the commercial door market. As with most private equity Wind Point look to increases the value of the company and sell it when the time was right. In the summer of 2011 Wind Point sold Marshfield Door Systems to Masonite International.
Today Marshfield Door Systems along with Mohawk Door form the commercial door division of Masonite International. Masonite is the largest door company in the world. The acquisition of Marshfield Door Systems and Mohawk Door combined makes Masonite the leader in commercial doors in the US. The combined product offering is the biggest in the industry. At Marshfield Door Systems our goal is to be the easiest, fastest, on-time,
correct and complete door company in the world.

Kensing added to growing list of non-roster invitees
Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
The Pirates have officially announced the signing of lefty Jo-Jo Reyes (which was reported here yesterday), as well as the signing of righty Logan Kensing. Both players will participate in Spring Training under non-roster invitations.
Some information on Kensing:
He hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2009, when he was with Washington. The 29-year-old made 26 appearances out of the Nationals' bullpen that year. He posted an 8.68 ERA, walked 12 and struck out 12 in 28 innings.
He missed the entire '10 season recovering from elbow surgery and began the 2011 season pitching in independent ball. The Yankees then signed him to a Minor League deal in late June, and Kensing spent the rest of the year playing on New York's Triple-A club in Scranton Wilkes-Barre. In 21 appearances there, Kensing had a 4.28 ERA.
This brings the total of non-roster invitations handed out by the Pirates to 11. Here is a look at the people on that list:
- Ryota Igarashi
- Logan Kensing
- Shairon Martis
- Jo-Jo Reyes
- Tim Wood
- Jake Fox
- Jose Morales
- Jeff Clement
- Nick Evans
- Anderson Hernandez
- Brandon Boggs

Kensing has about as much chance of making the Pirates as I do. I see Jojo Reyes (easily), Nick Evans (very likely) & Jake Fox (possibly) as the most likely guys to make the team. Fox will be last guy on the bubble, and if a catcher is DL (hurt) he might make it. I think Yamaico Navarro will play decently for the team before the season is through, regardless whether he makes it out of spring training.
They will keep the lousy rule 5 guy Nunez around for about 3 weeks and when their record is 3-14 finally realize he can't hit major league pitching and that the team needs more hitting, and probably call up Navarro then.
Navarro will go on to hit pretty well as a super-sub.

The Court of Appeal for Ontario in Zhang v. Hua Hai Li Steel Pipe Co. Ltd., 2013 ONCA 103 (CanLII), has reaffirmed that jurisdiction simpliciter is established by presence-based jurisdiction and consent-based jurisdiction (delivery of a Statement of Defence and other merit-based steps constitute attornment):
[5] In our view, the appeal should be dismissed but for reasons different from those given by the motion judge.
[6] This is not a jurisdictional case. The respondents live and were served in Ontario and the Ontario courts accordingly have jurisdiction. It is also significant that before the respondents brought the motion challenging the jurisdiction of the court, the appellants filed a statement of defence and took other steps in connection with the action. Even if the appellants had not been served within Ontario, they have attorned to the jurisdiction.
[7] The forum non conveniens issue is not relevant.
[8] We see no merit in this appeal and it is therefore dismissed.
