Earlier this month we heard David Slade (Hard Candy, Twilight: Eclipse) and Robert Schwentke (The Time Traveler's Wife, upcoming Red) were in talks to direct Wolverine 2, however now according to Deadline Schwentke has removed himself from the competition and Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler) has held talks with Hugh Jackman.
On the X-Men: Wolverine 2 front, 20th Century Fox is between David Slade and Darren Aronofsky, I'm told. Slade, who just directed the summer hit The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, met over the weekend with Jackman on location where he is shooting Real Steel for DreamWorks. Aronofsky has also been talking with Jackman, and they have a good relationship that dates back to The Fountain, when Jackman stepped in after Brad Pitt dropped out. Jackman holds a lot of clout in the decision and while Aronofsky has some momentum of his own because of Black Swan, I'd say Slade has the edge.
While David Slade has had more financial success recently with The Twilight Saga: Eclipse I would much prefer Darren Aronofsky to direct (although i'm not sure if he would do it). Aronofsky was going to direct a Robocop reboot until MGM's financial situation ground that project to a halt, so its not as though he is against big budget movies. Directing a sequel to a rather disappointing prequel might not be in his interests.
As Slade has been approved by 20th Century Fox and is currently meeting with Jackman he looks to be the frontrunner.
The Usual Suspects writer Christopher McQuarrie has written the script which takes Wolverine to Japan and is apparently a big improvement on X-Men: Origins Wolverine. As soon as a director is chosen Fox will begin pre-production ready for an early 2011 shoot.

even code
A binary code is called even if the Hamming weight of all its codewords is even. Furthermore, a binary code is called doubly-even if the Hamming weight of all its codewords is divisible by . An even code which is not doubly-even is said to be strictly even.
Examples of doubly-even codes are the extended binary Hamming code of block length and the extended binary Golay code of block length . These two codes are, in addition, self-dual.

Forensic specialist uses science in the pursuit of art
by Michael Stetz
SAN DIEGO - When it comes to art, one might think Paris. Or Rome, perhaps.
San Diego?
The city is probably better known for its catalog of stunning postcards than for its inventory of priceless works. So what's the world's greatest art forensics scientist - a man mentioned in best-selling novel "The Da Vinci Code" - doing here?
Hoping to make San Diego the international leader in analyzing, understanding and conserving the world's art inventory.
FORENSIC - Maurizio Seracini (left) is an art scientist. He uses the latest technology to unlock secrets of great works of art. He's studied paintings by DiVinci. He walked through the San Diego Museum of Art Monday with the museum's executive director Errick R. Cartwright. Photo by Peggy Peattie. Maurizio Seracini will head University of California San Diego's Center for Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture and Archaeology, which is believed to be the first of its kind.

Its creation was being announced Wednesday, with Matteo Renzi, the president of the Province of Florence, Italy, present for the big announcement.
Seracini, a 1973 graduate of UCSD, is renowned for using the latest scientific advances - including diagnostic imaging and infrared reflectography - to unlock secrets hidden beneath great artworks without physically touching them.
UCSD is a perfect fit for the new center, he said. The wealth of scientific talent is enormous.
The center already has formed a unique partnership with Florence, giving Seracini and other UCSD professors access to the city's Palazzo Medici, which is packed with Renaissance-era art.
The center also has begun a joint venture with the San Diego Museum of Art, which will allow Seracini to analyze pieces in its collection.
"We're excited," said Derrick Cartwright, the museum's executive director. "I feel very strongly about using new knowledge to teach us what we do not know."
Seracini, 60, has spent the past three decades working in Europe, using his trailblazing methods to analyze art by Leonardo da Vinci, Rafael, Botticelli. Every time he tackles a new project, he says he is overwhelmed.
"Emotions fly all over you," he said. "You cannot help but feel humbled."
For years, Seracini worked in relative obscurity, with some art historians questioning his technique, approach and results.
In 2003, he drew international attention when he became the only living person to be mentioned in Dan Brown's novel, "The Da Vinci Code."
Brown never interviewed Seracini. The first the scientist knew of the book was when he got a call from a friend who was reading "The Da Vinci Code" and saw Seracini's name.
Seracini's work was perfect fodder for Brown. In 2001, using his marvels of science, Seracini had discovered a series of drawings hidden for centuries beneath one of da Vinci's paintings, "Adoration of the Magi."
Brown used Seracini's discovery as evidence that da Vinci's art is not always what is seen or popularly believed.
Seracini wasn't actually thrilled with "The Da Vinci Code" connection, even if it did help bring him a world of publicity.
His goal isn't to validate or refute conspiracies, he said. He sees himself as a scientist who uses non-invasive techniques to reach objective conclusions that may have eluded art historians and restorers.
"You feel a huge weight of responsibility," Seracini said. "You're trying to understand the mind of a genius. And you naturally wonder, Who am I to undertake this?"
Seracini was born and raised in Florence, where he was surrounded by art.
"You breath it," he said. "It gets in your system."
But he also was interested in science and medicine, which was why as a young man he was attracted to UCSD's pioneering program in bioengineering.
His goal was to become a medical doctor, with a background and focus in engineering. But even while tackling science courses, he found time to go to Los Angeles to take art classes at UCLA.
Seracini's medical career was sidetracked in 1977, when he made a trip back to Florence and ran into Carlo Pedretti, a UCLA art professor whom he had studied under. Pedretti was searching for a long-lost da Vinci mural, "The Battle of Anghiari," believed to be hidden in a building called the Hall of Five Hundred.
Only a dozen or so da Vinci paintings exist. This one had disappeared after another artist, Giorgio Vasari, was commissioned to paint new murals in the building.
Pedretti asked Seracini if he could help in the hunt by applying his knowledge of cutting-edge medical equipment.
Using ultrasound and thermo-imaging, Seracini spent two years trying to map the original building. If they could figure out how it was constructed, they might be able to discover the most likely sites of the mural.
The work was discontinued before proof of the mural was found, but Seracini had found something else: his calling.
He started his own art forensics company, even though few understood the science he was using. To build a reputation, he offered his services for free to museums that were about to restore paintings. Over the years, his discoveries stunned the art world.
Despite all his accomplishments, one effort remains unfinished.
In 2000, Seracini got the funding and the permission to set out again on the quest that propelled him into his career: his search for the missing da Vinci.
He has found a void in one section of the current mural in the Hall of the Five Hundred - a space of about a half-inch. Behind it, the da Vinci mural awaits, he believes.
Proving his hunch is a daunting challenge.
He can't touch the existing painting by Vasari, which is, in its own right, a treasure.
He must somehow find a technique that will allow him to detect colors beyond the existing mural.
One problem: That technique doesn't yet exist.
Seracini isn't concerned. A challenge of this scale? That's art to him.

Bringing the heritage of Schenectady County, New York to the world since 1996

[This information is from Vol. III, pp. 997-999 of Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, edited by Cuyler Reynolds (New York: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911). It is in the Reference collection of the Schenectady County Public Library at R 929.1 R45. Some of the formatting of the original, especially in lists of descendants, may have been altered slightly for ease of reading.]
Conrad Cramer was of German descent. He was brought up a farmer by his father, who was descended from Jurgen Cramer, of the second Palatine emigration to New York, in 1710. Conrad Cramer settled upon a farm three miles southwest of Schuylerville prior to the revolution. After the surrender of Burgoyne in October, 1777, the Tories and Indians from time to time made raids on the settlers. In May, 1799, they raided the neighborhood of Conrad Cramer's farm. He hastily packed a wagon with such comforts as one team could carry, and started southward. Night overtook them, May 14, 1779, at a tavern south of Schuylerville, but it was filled, and they were obliged to remain in their wagon. The following morning they continued their flight to about three miles south of Mechanicville, where they obtained a small house, and resided there until it was safe to return to the farm. It was during the night of May 14 that their son John was born.
(II) John, son of Conrad Cramer, was born near Bemis Heights, Saratoga county, New York, May 14, 1779, died in Waterford, New York, June 1, 1870, aged ninety-one years. He received a good education, and chose the law as his profession. About 1800 he opened his law office in Waterford, where he continued to reside during his long and eventful life. He became actively interested in politics, and during all his life was active in law, politics and business. He was an unswerving Democrat, and, elected a presidential elector, in 1804, cast his vote for the re-election of President Thomas Jefferson. He served three terms in the New York state legislature, 1806-11-14. In 1821 he was a delegate to the state convention for formulating a new state constitution, and was associated with Martin Van Buren, Governor Tompkins and Samuel Young. Although he was a man of wealth, he opposed the property qualification for voters, and made a strong speech against it, which caused Van Buren to remark to him as he took his seat, "Isn't that a little too Democratic?" In 1823 he was elected to the state senate. In 1832 he was pitted against the veteran congressman, John W. Taylor, who had served for twenty years in congress and been speaker of the National house. He was a very popular man in his district, yet after the hardest-fought political battle the district had ever witnessed, Mr. Cramer was elected, and in 1834 re-elected. He served in congress with James K. Polk and other distinguished statesmen during President Jackson's last term. He seldom took part in public debate, but was an influential member of the house, and usually got such legislation as he wanted. He was a close personal friend of Polk, and after leaving congress returned, at his friend's request, and aided him in his contest for speaker of the house. Mr. Polk was successful, and always remembered the assistance of his friend. In 1840 he was again a candidate for congress against Judge Linn, of Schenectady. The Whigs had carried the state in 1838, and after a hard battle Mr. Cramer was returned defeated by a small majority. Although he was now sixty he would not retire under the sting of defeat. In 1841 he was a candidate for the assembly and was elected. During the session of 1842 he carried through an election law that still practically remains in force. When President Polk was forming his cabinet in 1844 there was a bitter contest over the representative from New York state. Mr. Cramer sustained the claims of Governor William L. Marcy, and went to Washington, where his diplomacy resulted in Governor Marcy's being chosen for secretary of war. He was a natural leader, and exercised a powerful influence upon the politics of New York state for half a century, and for a longer period than any other one man. He would stand by his friends and would go equally far to overthrow an enemy. He probaby did more to advance the political fortunes of Martin L. Van Buren than any other man in the early times, but in 1844 they differed, and he used all his efforts to defeat Van Buren's nomination in that year. For more than fifty years he dictated every nomination made by the Democrats in Saratoga county.
When Fort Sumter was fired on, his patriotism was at once aroused and he headed a subscription in the town of Waterford with the sum of one thousand dollars to aid in raising volunteers. When the company marched from Waterford, under Captain Yates, for the camp at North Troy, John Cramer, then eighty-two years old, marched at the head of the column. His was not a life of political activity alone. He was one of the organizers of the Saratoga County Bank, a member of the first board of directors and afterward president. He was also an organizer of the Bank of Troy, and served on the first board of directors. He had many other business interests that need not be mentioned.
He married Mary H. Close, who died in Waterford prior to her husband's decease. Children:
(III) George Henry, son of Hon. John and Mary H. (Close) Cramer, was born in Waterford, New York, August 14, 1814, died at his summer home at Lake George, New York, July 21, 1900. He was educated in Waterford during his earlier years, but at the age of fifteen he was sent to New York, where he lived with his sister, Mrs. Mary Curtis, and there he was educated and married. After his marriage he settled in Troy, where he began his long connection with the business interests of that city. He was a worthy son of his great father, and made his influence felt in the world of business as the latter did in politics. He was interested in and president of the Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad Company. In 1834 he bought an interest in the firm of Nazro & Green, the firm becoming Green & Cramer. They later absorbed the heavy iron business of Kellogg & Company. The firm was very successful and continued until 1852, when it was dissolved, Mr. Cramer retiring. He had large real estate and other interests in Troy. In 1865 the United National Bank of Troy was formed by the consolidation of "The Bank of Troy" and "The Farmers' Bank." He was a member of the first board of directors and later president. He was a man of great energy and force of character. He aided, by his voice and purse, all good causes, and was a potent force in the development of Troy. He was a Republican in politics and thoroughly alive to his responsibilities as a citizen. He was a member of the St. John's Episcopal Church and gave liberally to the support of the charities of which he approved. He married, November 21, 1839, Henrietta Knox Cannon, born in 1819, died September 9, 1899, at Lake George, New York, daughter of Le Grand and Esther (Boutin) Cannon. Children:

Can anyone identify these 2 shrubs please?
15 May 2013 22:08
Really hope the community can help with these - I've got 3 friends who are professional gardeners and a plantaholic mother-in-law who are all at a loss!
2nd one has bamboo like qualities, in that stems are hollow - but is deciduous and all the stems meet at the bottom, and it doesn't seem to spread.
15 May 2013 22:10
Not sure of 1 but 2 is a Leycesteria unless I'm very much mistaken. I have several in my garden. They are great for filling a border quickly and will reach 6 ft in a season (virtually max height). The flowers are unusual pendant purple and white lantern like affairs. You can cut them back hard after flowering and they'll come back again next year. They do self propagate though the small 'seedlings' are easy to spot and easily removed. A great 'architectural' plant that's a bit unusual.
15 May 2013 22:22
Leycesteria looks like winner! - thanks.
15 May 2013 22:30
1 is sorbusaria
15 May 2013 22:34
Are you sure punkdoc?
When I google sorbusaria (or sorbus aria) - I dont see anything that looks like No.1 - please can you post a link to the plant you mean?
15 May 2013 22:37
I have one of these but I may have got the name mixed up.
15 May 2013 22:37
1. Sorbaria sorbifolia Sem.
2. Leycesteria formosa.
15 May 2013 22:44
thats the one I meant
15 May 2013 22:46
Aha - thats the one Silver Surfer thanks. Very close Punkdoc - thanks to you too.
Appreciate everyones help identifying these 2 - many thanks.

Escaping the city for upstate New York to refresh her mind and look after her reclusive Great Aunt, Dora discovers her hidden romantic past and revelations that will pull both of them both from their spirals of depression.
Unfortunately I Dream Too Much fails to grow from its indie aspirations into a fully fledged feature. There are lots of strange moments and irregularities that make the film feel unfortunately amateurish. Characters go from being in a big fight to best friends in the space of a cut, and a famous musician suddenly agrees to play as the backing band for a local amateur singer at a poetry reading.
I Dream Too Much means well but it can't move beyond its televisual a esthetic and a bland plot that doesn't really go anywhere. You can sense what writer/director Katie Cokinos was going for, but I Dream Too Much really misses the mark.

Dear Harlan: I am in a serious relationship. Lately, my boyfriend has not wanted to have sex or "play." I didn't really think anything of it until I logged on to his computer and all of his recent open tabs were porn. Is this something I should be worried about?
— Confused
Dear Confused: Forget the porn. Stick to your offline problems.
When a guy pulls up his pants and shuts down, something is happening. Instead of guessing, focus on your role in this relationship. Go into this assuming you're hot, interesting and more than good enough. Don't make it about sex. Talk about trust, intimacy and communication.
Trust that he loves you and wants to be with you. Believe that you have an intimate enough relationship where you can talk about anything. Make sure you can listen and be heard.
Approach him from a place of concern — not anger. Ask if he's OK. Bring up the lack of interest in sex. Ask if he's dealing with something personal or keeping secrets. Let him know you are there for him.
If he can't open up, then face the truth. When your relationship is about guessing, snooping and surprises, it's not a very good relationship.
Dear Harlan: I'm a 19-year-old, and I'm having a bit of trouble with the girl I like. I've known her for only about two months, but I really like her. I know you'll suggest I tell her my true feelings, and I want to, but how do I know when I should tell her?
I've never been in a relationship before because I've always been a shy person, and I've always been afraid of being rejected when it comes to many things. I think I should tell her sooner rather than later, shouldn't I?
I feel as if I should take some risks when it comes to people, and I'm tired of being afraid of taking risks when it comes to relationships. I haven't even had my first kiss yet. I don't want to rush anything, but I don't want to spend my whole life waiting, either.
— Confused and Unsure
Dear Confused and Unsure: You're not ready. You are still too focused on "yes." You haven't given her permission to say "no." She must say "yes" or you'll be hurt.
As a rule, ask a girl out only when you can handle "no." Until you can handle "no," you're not ready for "yes."
Now, you can totally disregard my advice, get a first date and kiss. But a second date and second kiss are where it gets dangerous. Not being able to handle rejection will make everything bigger, more dramatic and very confusing. It will be hard for you to say what you think and do what you feel. You'll be too afraid that you'll say or do the wrong thing.
And that's the problem with dating. We can be horrible at hearing "no" and still get a "yes." If it's too hard to take a risk and ask her out, take a step back and work to be your best. Know that anyone would be lucky to date you.
Once you can handle "no" without fearing rejection, you'll be ready for "yes."
Write to email@example.com or Help Me, Harlan!, 3501 N. Southport Ave., Suite 226, Chicago, IL 60657.

Do I have any recourse regarding a landlord and tenant dispute? Posted on January 20, 2011I am a landlord in Pittsburgh. My tenant was being evicted and the urban league stepped in to help. They tied me up for months, eventually giving me a voucher for $4,800. They are now only giving me $2,800 due to them dropping the ball as they put it. Leaving me at a loss of thousands and with a tenant who still isn't paying. Turns out, the tenant works for them. Do I have any recourse with the urban league?

Note: confirmed herb spawn rate nerf, see post #9.
==== original post ====
Is there some patch note that I missed? With the herb spawn rates going down, I figured I'd check prices for starlight ink before darkmoon faire, and they were about 1/2 what they were a couple weeks ago:
I'm really confused. In case I just got lucky, I just spend a couple thousand gold buying up inks, but I'm assuming I'm not lucky, I'm just dumb, and that there is a much better way to get ink now, or people think the cards won't sell for anything.

Kathy Wagoner (Cate Macabe)
Writer and Author of This New Mountain
Blog: http://thisnewmountain.com/blog
What motivates you to write?
My first love was reading, which led to all kinds of adventures in my mind, and that brought me to writing. I started writing short stories when I was about 9 years old. I never thought about making a living as a writer when I was young – and as I grew older, I never had the confidence to try. So I spent most of my life wondering what I should do with myself, when really the answer was there all along. Now that I know, I'm excited to transfer all of these characters and their stories from my mind onto paper.
What made you chose the genre you chose?
This New Mountain is completely different from the science fiction/fantasy that I normally write. I chose to write this memoir (of my friend AJ Jackson) because her stories of investigating people and repossessing vehicles were exciting and beyond my own experience. AJ and I became friends in the course of working for the same law office, and she took me up on my offer to write the memoir of a country girl and grandmother who also happens to be a private investigator and "repo-mama."
What's most rewarding about writing?
I love to create my own worlds and watch my characters move about and interact within them. One of the most amazing things to me is to have a character step off the path I'd planned for him, and in so doing, the story becomes fuller and much improved.
What do you look for in other people's books?
I like to read books that take me away from my normal life and into a different world – that's why I love fantasy and science fiction. I also like characters that I can relate to in some way and root for.
What are you writing now?
I'm currently working on a dark fantasy novel called The Last Bonekeeper, plus short stories in that same universe. I used NaNoWriMo this year to finish the first draft of the novel. Casa de Snapdragon Publishing is already interested in looking at Bonekeeper for possible publication.
What kind of book would you like to be known for?
I would like to be known for my fantasy/science fiction novels.
If you achieved great fame and fortune, would you continue to write?
Definitely. I write because I love telling stories – and I have too many still inside of me to just quit.
What encouraging advice can you offer new writers?
Write first because you love to write and to please yourself, and write what you want to read. If you want to improve your writing, you'll have to share it outside of your family and circle of friends – preferably other writers who are on a higher level than you. And if you're like me and have started on your writer's journey later in life, don't listen to those voices that tell you you're too old. You've got so much life experience to draw from now, to add fullness to your worlds and depth to your characters.
Note from Kathy: Our First Book Giveaway!
The lucky winner of the book giveaway is JA Stojak! Congratulations, JA! You will be receiving a signed copy of This New Mountain.

USA vs. Australia: Players Who Must Step Up for Boomers to Upset Team USAAugust 8, 2012
Australia has never taken down the United States in an Olympic basketball game, so the Boomers will have to make history if they're going to score a massive upset in the quarterfinals at London.
The last time they met was in the quarterfinals at Beijing, when 25 points from Kobe Bryant helped the Americans advance to the semifinals with a 31-point victory.
While the United States blazed through group play with a spotless 5-0 record, Australia lost their first two contests, falling to both Brazil and Spain.
If the Boomers are going to ride out their three-game winning streak, they'll have to do so on the shoulders of these three players.
David Andersen
A 6'11" center who spent the last season in the NBA with the New Orleans Hornets, David Andersen will have to play the game of his life and force the United States to abandon the small-ball strategy.
If Andersen—who is averaging 12.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game—is able to get the better of whoever is playing center for Team USA in an undersized lineup, Mike Krzyzewski will be forced to roll with Tyson Chandler far more than he initially planned.
Andersen isn't exactly a defensive powerhouse, and he's not the best rebounder, but he's a solid option on offense and is more than capable of spreading out the defense.
He's knocked down eight three pointers thus far in the Olympic competition and has shown off quite a few post moves as well.
Hitting a few early shots from the perimeter is key for Andersen, as it will allow the Australian backcourt—the team's strength—to penetrate and avoid the trees in the paint.
Matthew Dellavedova
The floppy-haired point guard has been sensational in the passing game for the Australian squad through the first five games of the Olympics.
He's found open teammate after open teammate, often squeezing the ball into tight spaces, while minimizing the turnovers. With 23 assists and nine turnovers, Matthew Dellavedova has been the best facilitator for the Boomers.
As one of the primary ball-handlers for the Aussies, Dellavedova is going to face relentless pressure from Team USA. The press will be employed and the defense will always be right up in his grill.
Maintaining control of the ball and allowing the Australian offense to function as normal is essential for the 6'3" guard.
Patty Mills
Unquestionably the best player for Australia during the group stage, Patty Mills must continue to score at a high level for his team to have any shot at scoring the massive upset.
I'm not talking about a 15-point performance, but rather exceeding his 20.2 points per game by, oh, roughly 10 points.
Mills has been able to penetrate into the interior of the defense on cuts, although his ball-handling isn't strong enough for him to consistently create his own shot against a quick American defense. He's also done a lot of damage from the perimeter, hitting on 13 of his 39 attempts from three-point range.
He's undersized but speedy, and will need to use that quickness in an advantageous fashion against the United States.
Containing Mills is going to be Team USA's No. 1 priority.

As part of brain injury awareness month, we have been featuring a series of articles to educate readers about how to prevent and treat concussions in children. We were also fortunate to have Donna Broshek, who is a neuropsychologist and the Associate Director of the UVA Health System's Brain Injury and Sports Concussion Institute, film a public service announcement with us. You can see the PSA here. Happily, Donna also agreed to write a blog post for us. Please join me in thanking Donna for all of her help in educating us about this important topic, and keep reading for her post:
As Bryan noted in Kids and Concussions, Part 2, Virginia passed a state law that became effective in July 2011 that requires that public schools develop a protocol for identifying and managing sports concussions, as well as providing education to students and parents. This legislation has been very important in increasing awareness of sports concussions and keeping kids safe. The Virginia Board of Education Guidelines For Policies on Concussions in Student-Athletes incorporated key aspects of safe management:
1) Any athlete suspected of having a concussion should be removed from play and evaluated by a health care provider with experience in sports concussion.
2) The student must obtain written medical clearance before being allowed to resume physical activity.
3) Return to physical activity must occur in a gradual supervised manner – various levels of physical activity are introduced gradually while concussion symptoms are monitored. If symptoms increase or return, the student-athlete returns to a lower level of activity until their symptoms get better.
An important issue for parents to know is that this law only applies to public schools. Private schools are not covered, although many such schools do have good concussion policies. Of particular importance is that private youth leagues, such as elite soccer organizations or lacrosse travel teams, are not required to have concussion policies since they are not covered by the state legislation. It is even more important for parents to be able to recognize signs of concussion in their children and respond by seeking appropriate care when their children are not covered under the state law.
What parents can do:
1) During the month of March, the Concussion Recognition and Response™ Coach and Parent Version phone app can be downloaded free of charge on iPhone, iPad, iTouch, and Android platforms. The app was developed in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and provides step by step guidance in identifying symptoms and seeking medical evaluation. The app also has information on monitoring symptoms at home and suggestions for school.
2) Parents can insist that coaches of independent sports leagues develop a concussion policy that mirrors the one established by the state for public schools.
3) Parents can lobby their legislators to fix this loophole in the state law so that any private leagues using public sports fields are required to follow the same policies as public schools.
4) It is better to err on the side of conservative concussion management in youths as the developing brain is more vulnerable to concussions and concussion symptoms last longer in kids and teens. If in doubt, sit them out!

The Mets have made it official and announced that shortstop Wilmer Flores will be called up and activated in time for Friday's game against the Phillies. Flores will replace Omar Quintanilla who was designated for assignment on Wednesday.
The red-hot Flores had three more hits tonight including a double and two RBIs to lift his average to .307 for Triple-A Las Vegas.
Over his last ten games, Flores is batting .444 with a 1.278 OPS in 27 at-bats with four home runs and 13 RBIs. An excellent run producer throughout his pro career, Flores has 25 RBI and 20 runs scored In 28 games this season. He has started 24 of those games at shortstop.
While you never know with Terry Collins, I would expect the 22-year old Flores to play everyday with Ruben Tejada sliding into a backup role.
Tejada has struggled mightily at the plate and is hitting .183 this season with only two extra-base hits in 99 plate appearances this season.
Ideally, we could see Tejada used as a late-inning defensive replacement as while Flores continues to work on improving his defense at short. However, many scouts and evaluators have said Flores has made great strides.
Yesterday, assistant general manager John Ricco said that Flores has been fine defensively.
"All the reports we're getting from there is he's making all the routine plays," Ricco said. "He's not going to be a plus defender by any stretch, but he's held his own defensively."
I'm pretty excited to see how Flores impacts the Mets lineup with his dynamic offensive skills. Before severely injuring his ankle last season, the Mets won five of six games after Flores was called up and he tied a Mets record with nine RBI in his first six games – also accomplished by Mike Jacobs in 2005.
My fervent hope is that Collins puts Flores in a position to succeed. We'll see…

Title / Author / ISBN
Follow Us On:
Co-published by the American Holistic Nurses Association and ANA, this new second edition contains up-to-date information on this growing specialty which reflects the diverse activities of holistic nursing and the evolving needs of patients seeking healing outside of traditional methods.
The publication addresses the expectations of all holistic registered nurses. It specifies the, who, what, where, when, why, and how of holistic nursing practice. The 16 standards are those by which all RNs in holistic nursing are held accountable for their practice. Each standard is measurable by a set of specific competencies that serve as evidence of minimal compliance with that standard. A selection of key AHNA documents supplements the main text.
Although primarily for holistic nursing practitioners, educators, students, and others directly involved in holistic nursing, research, advocacy, and certification, this book can also inform other healthcare providers, researchers and scholars as well as employers, insurers, lawyers, regulators, policy makers, and stakeholders.

Psst! Did you miss the original "10 Home Business Ideas for Stay-at-Home Moms" post I did? If you're looking for more work-at-home inspiration, read this.
When I wrote the original "10 Home Business Ideas for Stay-at-Home Moms" post in May of 2013, I had no idea it would get as much attention as it did. It's been shared on social media a ton of times. It gets a lot of visits from people who search for things like "at home business ideas for moms" and "business ideas for moms" and "business ideas for stay at home moms". I've gotten emails from women wanting my help, wanting to know more about the opportunities listed, and wanting someone to brainstorm with. It thrills me that the list is connecting with stay-at-home moms because helping women who want to stay at home with their kids and still earn an income be able to do just that is something I really love to do!
Since the writing of that post, we've welcomed our little guy (he's 6-months-old at the moment!) into the family. And that's given me a whole new perspective on this whole topic. I feel like I now understand even more what kind of business ideas stay-at-home moms need.
My goal for this post is to put forth even more legitimate work-at-home opportunities that stay-at-home moms can pursue part-time (though a lot of these could be turned into a full-time income, if that's what you're after). I want to encourage you to think outside the box!
So let's get into the home business ideas.
1. You know that product you love? Sell it!
I know lots of people who have fallen in love with a company's products and then have signed on to to be a consultant or distributor for that company. Direct sales is a fabulous work-at-home opportunity for stay-at-home moms! Don't let the word "sales" scare you – you basically just get to earn an income on your own schedule for recommending products that you love and believe in to your family and friends.
Need some company ideas? How about Thirty-One Gifts, Origami Owl, Tastefully Simple, Beachbody, Discovery Toys, NYR Organic, The Pampered Chef, Usborne Books & More, Norwex, or Lilla Rose?
Also, it's no secret that I'm a Young Living Essential Oils Independent Distributor. Way before I ever decided to pursue Young Living Essential Oils as a business, I was given some essential oil samples. I saw such great success with those samples that I decided to sign up as a Wholesale Member (just so I could save 24%!). I quickly realized that I loved sharing about (and people loved hearing about) Young Living Essential Oils (and all of my family's success stories) – so, pursuing it as a business was a natural next step for me.
2. Can you sew? Offer your services as a seamstress.
What I wouldn't give for a talented, affordable, and reliable seamstress is my area! I can't sew (though it's on my "I'd like to learn how to do this eventually" list) – not even a button on a shirt (luckily my husband can!) – and I can't imagine I'm the only one.
If you can mend clothes, hem pants, or even design clothes from scratch, you should definitely be offering your sewing services to others.
3. You know that thing you're good at that people are always asking you about? Lead an in-person or online class about it.
Are you the queen of coupons? Can you crochet like a pro? Whatever skill it is that you have that people admire, I bet you can earn some money teaching it to others.
For in-person classes, invite people to your home or reserve a room at the library or your church. For online classes, create a Facebook event, invite all of your friends, and do a webinar.
4. Be a pet sitter or a house sitter.
Take care of your family's, friends', or neighbors' pets and homes while they're away. Walk and feed the dog. Pick up the mail. Keep an eye on things.
Register your services on proven websites like Care.com and House Sitters America. Once the word gets out that you're available and trustworthy, you could become the go-to pet sitter or house sitter in your area.
5. Design and sell gifts for special occasions.
If you're crafty, this is a great work-at-home option for you.
Create diaper cakes for baby showers. Put together gift baskets for the holidays. Make custom chocolates for wedding favors. Either create items ahead of time and sell them, or charge a fee for your time and the materials needed to put together custom items.
For those who lack creativity and time but want to make a statement, this is a service that's desperately needed. And with Pinterest available, you won't run out of ideas anytime soon (or customers – people are always wanting to recreate what they see on Pinterest these days)!
6. Start a blog.
I won't lie – starting a blog isn't a quick moneymaker. But if you invest the time and energy into creating great content, growing your traffic, building your community, and making an offer to your readers (aka. offering a service, selling a product like an eBook, etc – remember that blogs don't make money, businesses make money, and a business needs to offer a product or service), you will start to see an income.
If blogging is something you're interested in, here are just a few resources I recommend – Amy Lynn Andrews' website, Crystal Paine's "How to Make Money Blogging" series, Blogelina, How to Blog for Profit (Without Selling Your Soul) by Ruth Soukup, and The Blog Planning Kit.
7. Whip others into shape!
If you're passionate about fitness, think about becoming a personal trainer. Lots of people are looking for help to get or stay in shape (and be held accountable!).
You could take on individual clients. You could offer classes. You could create several-week-long bootcamps. You could even create a fitness program and sell it as an eBook or set up a membership website for folks to go through it together. The possibilities are endless!
8. Be a freelancer.
If you want to use your degree while you're in the midst of raising little ones, please know that you can (and if you don't want to, please know that that's fine too)! And you can do it as a freelancer.
Follow up with old work relationships, friends, family, and whoever else and see if anyone knows of any freelancing opportunities. Businesses love contractors (less strings attached) and you get to be your own boss and pick and choose projects that appeal to you.
9. Fix stuff!
I'm always coming across broken things and thinking, "Someone should fix this and sell it." Is that someone you? From electronics to cars, old furniture to clothes, if you can fix things up and sell them, you've got yourself a part-time business.
10. Run errands for people.
Sometimes I enjoy running errands (it's a reason to get out of the house). A lot of times I don't. Busy parents, older folks who can't get around easily, families with one car – those are all people who could benefit from someone running their errands for them. You can even expand beyond your own personal network and grab little errand jobs online!
I'll turn it over to you now. Do you work at home? How have you turned your hobbies and interests into a small business? What other home business ideas do you have for stay-at-home moms?

[Vision2020] Divisivness Must Stop (2)
If those who consider the term "government schools" to be divisive would step back from their posture of taking offense for a moment, they might realize that the term "government," whether used divisively or not, is the descriptor that most accurately reflects the nature of the thing being discussed. . . .

The Spurs boss says Dier is more than deserving of his call-up into the senior squad.
Speaking to the club's official website, Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino was full of praise for Eric Dier following his call-up to the England squad.
The midfielder has impressed so far this season for Spurs, having been moved into a defensive midfield despite playing most of last season operating as a central defender or at right-back.
His performances in the centre of midfield have caught the eye of England manager Roy Hodgson, with him this week naming the youngster in his squad for games against Spain and France this month.
And Pochettino says the 21-year-old is more than deserving of his selection.
"I'm very pleased for him, he deserves it," he told tottenhamhotpsur.com.
"His team-mates and everyone at the club congratulate him because from the beginning of the season he's showed a fantastic character and had some fantastic performances.
Given how impressive Dier has been for Tottenham so far this season, it is fair to say that he is more than deserving of his senior call.
Given the current shortage of defensive midfielders in the England set up as well, there is only Michael Carrick who is truly comfortable in the holding role, continuing his fine form could see him become a shoo-in for Euro 2016 next summer.
First he must impress in the tough games against Spain and France that he has been selected for, and if he does, there is every chance he could be a regular England performer in the future.

Kazunori Yamauchi Briefly Explains Gran Turismo 5's Delay
Producer does not expect delay to take game beyond end of year.
Sony didn't give much of an explanation when it announced Gran Turismo 5's delay yesterday. For something a bit more solid (just a bit), we turn to series producer Kazunori Yamauchi himself.
Returning to Twitter for the first time since September 22, Yamauchi apologized to fans today and explained that the reason for the delay was that it was taking some time to finalize some of the game's more complicated systems. Apologizing again (two apologies in the same Tweet!), he asked that players wait a bit more.
Yamauchi quickly followed up this apology with some good news for those worrying that this is actually a stealth delay to 2011. A follower pleaded with him to get the game out by the end of the year. "I believe we won't keep you waiting until then," replied Yamauchi.

The Storylines
The Shield defeated Big E Langston, Kofi Kingston and Rey Mysterio to kick off the action on WWE Raw. I was impressed with how much time they gave this match. You knew The Shield would win, but how would they win is the bigger question? Roman Reigns seems to be the one standing tall more often than not. This time, it was Dean Ambrose pinning Big E Langston after he blind tagged himself in. PERFECT! This is how you start to separate the three men. Ambrose and Reigns are beginning to upset the other, with Rollins being the middle man. Remember who the middle man was in the Legacy? Yes, it was Cody and not Ted. I am a believer in Rollins over Ambrose, even though I think both will succeed. It is just a personal choice of mine. Either way ,The Wyatt Family interrupts and basically teases coming out to fight. Wyatt's and Shield are both heel teams, right? Who should get the cheers? I feel like the music and intro of Wyatt's get a cheer, while the "Wrestling" goes to The Shield.
The Wyatt's Answer The Shield with a victory over Dolph Ziggler, R-Truth and Xavier Woods. I really don't know why I dislike Woods so much. He is a complete waste right now and looks so out of place in the 2014 WWE roster. Would he fit better 20 years ago? That is what he looks like, with the ridiculous afro and cheesy smile. I just cannot stand him. Hopefully, he will win me over with his ring work. I was a fan of his work in TNA, so maybe it is only a matter of time. Anyways, The Wyatt Family pick up a win and are interrupted by The Shield. Ambrose says they do not buy their supernatural talk and Reigns says they are in "The Shield's Yard." This was a great response and solidified The Shield (for the time being.) You can foreshadow the split, but there needs to be a slower pace with three weeks to fill. Bray does an incredible job laughing and pointing at them after. He sells the fact that NOTHING can scare him. He sells the feud with how he responds and reacts.
Score: 7/10… For this being the most interesting feud in WWE right now.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – How does free breakfast and lunch five days a week sound? For many FWCS students, that's an option now. Monday evening, the FWCS School Board approved a new program. It will offer free meals to all elementary and middle school students in the district. Board members voted unanimously to approve the measure. They said it has many benefits, but above all ensures all students will have access to healthy and nutritious options.
"We shouldn't have food and when kids are going to be fed as an issue that gets in the way of our learning. So, this is a way to just stop having that as a conversation," said FWCS Superintendent, Dr. Wendy Robinson.
40 percent of students in the school district must qualify for free meals to make the district eligible for the federal program. Of the 51 schools under FWCS, 44 will now offer free breakfast and lunch for all students. The list also includes Towles Intermediate School and Ward Education Center.
"This is a program that's been offered to eligible school districts like ours, and we think it benefits all of our elementary and middle school students. We're thrilled to be able to provide that for them. We thought it was in our students best reason to participate in the program for that very reason, to give them healthy breakfast and lunch every day for every student. There really was no question mark as to whether we should do it or not," said FWCS Chief Financial Officer, Kathy Friend.
Until now, students have been required to apply for free or reduced lunches. That process is something Dr. Robinson said became very tedious for both parents and students.
"We believe that meals and breakfast and lunch are two of the most important meals of the day for children in order to enhance their learning. When we were given the opportunity to stop taking parents and students through what really becomes a very complicated process to determine if they would get free lunch or not or reduced lunch. We just believe there are better ways to spend our time and that we can assure ourselves that students for two times a day all students in elementary and middle school will receive nutritious meals." said Robinson.
This program also eliminates any potential stigma attached to the paperwork.
"It might make people feel more comfortable because there won't be any identification of what a student's income level is or anything like that. There'd be no guessing at this point since everyone would be eligible for the same program," said Friend.
Some may wonder where the district is finding the money to fund such a program. It's actually already included in the budget.
"Because we run a really efficient nutrition services program, we're able to do this program with the revenues we currently receive and so this won't cost us anything additional from the general fund or any other resources that we're providing to students in the classroom or anything like that. This is strictly coming out of our nutritionist services program, and I think that's really important for the public to understand," said Friend.
The meals will also comply with the USDA guidelines that are already in place. Students don't have to participate in the program, and middle school students can still purchase a la carte meals if they want to.
Implementing the change is something the board said benefits all families, no matter what their situations may be.
"I think sometimes people think that folks are always trying to figure out how to get something for nothing. Our parents are hardworking folks. In today's economy, people struggle to try to figure out how to make absolutely certain that their children are getting nutritious meals. On the other hand, we also have working parents who are not necessarily there when their children leave for school in the morning," said Robinson.
As of right now, high schools are not included in the program, but that could change at any time throughout the four year contract.
"We'll consider adding high school later if it turns out that we can handle it financially, but at this point, the numbers don't quite work out to allow us to do high school," said Friend.
Districts in Indianapolis and South Bend are also adopting the program. NewsChannel 15 reached out to the other three Allen County districts on whether or not they plan to participate, but haven't heard back.

Campos holds hearing on AIDS, health care reform recommendations
The San Francisco HIV Health Care Reform Task Force released its recommendations this week to help ensure people living with HIV/AIDS are able to make safe, secure transitions as the Affordable Care Act takes effect in 2014.
Gay Supervisor David Campos held a hearing Thursday, October 17 to discuss the recommendations.
Campos stated before the hearing, "I am looking forward to hearing the recommendations of the HIV Health Care Reform Task Force and how the Department of Public Health is implementing those recommendations because I want to make sure that no HIV patient gets lost during this historic transformation of our health care system."
Mike Smith, executive director of AIDS Emergency Fund and president of the HIV/AIDS Provider Network, is a task force member.
"Health care reform will result in better access to care for many people – including those with HIV. But it also includes major changes to the way HIV-related medical care and support services will be funded and delivered," said Smith in a news release. "Our recommendations call for a transition plan that minimizes disruption in client care and establishes a comprehensive system of care that meets the needs of all people living with HIV in San Francisco."
With its recommendations, the task force aims to "reduce barriers to timely engagement in quality, affordable, and patient-centered care" and "promote continuity," among other goals, members said in a statement. The task force is made up of representatives from the city's health department, HIV service providers, and others.
Task force members are hopeful that while the recommendations are specific to San Francisco, some of the information might be helpful for other local planning efforts.

With rumors of Apple's plans to release a low cost iPhone this Summer swirling about, we now have a new report via the China Times which claims that Apple's more economical iPhone will make use of Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip as opposed to one of Apple's A-series processors.
The report claims that the Snapdragon's ability to integrate both bluetooth and Wi-Fi onto the main chip will enable Apple to keep costs low and ideally protect their margins as much as possible.
What's more, the report claims that Apple has tapped TSMC to manufacture the chips using their 28nm process. What's notable here, aside from Apple foregoing using one of its in-house designed processors, is that it would mark the first time Apple would be utilizing a foundry other than Samsung to produce its processors. The report also claims that the low cost iPhone will be 3G only.
It's worth mentioning that the above report regarding Apple's use of Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip is at odds with the typically spot-on Ming-Chi Kuo who wrote earlier this week that Apple's lower cost iPhone will utilize Apple's A6 processor.
Kuo also noted that the lower cost iPhone will be comprised of plastic and fiberglass and will come in 6 different colors.

An artist in Cincinnati, Patricia Renick, had her friends take a small envelope of ashes at her funeral. Her instructions were for each of them to spread the ashes any place they thought appropriate. Renick's ashes ended up as far as a Tibetan mountain. The idea for the ash distribution stemmed from a conversation with a friend.

MANCHESTER. — Louis van Gaal did not offer to resign after watching his team's latest home defeat at the hands of Southampton at the weekend, sources close to Manchester United said yesterday.
Britain's Guardian newspaper earlier reported that the club's executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, had persuaded the Dutchman to stay following the 1-0 defeat which resulted in fans booing the team and Van Gaal off the pitch.
Woodward told Van Gaal to speak to his family before making a decision over his future, the newspaper said. The Dutchman flew to the Netherlands on Sunday for his daughter's birthday.
Van Gaal was expected to hold fresh talks with United's hierarchy yesterday when he took over first-team training.
The Dutchman went back to work training Manchester United stars yesterday after the club denied he had offered to resign.
According to some media, Van Gaal faced a crunch meeting with United executive vice chairman Ed Woodward yesterday amid supporter anger over the 1-0 defeat by Southampton.
Van Gaal went back to the Netherlands after the Old Trafford loss for a planned family visit and the players were given Sunday and Monday off.
Amid intense speculation about his future, a Manchester United club source denied reports that the 64-year-old former Dutch national boss had offered his resignation on Saturday.
And Van Gaal was seen arriving at United's Carrington complex to take training. Media reports said he was to have talks with the English giants top management later yesterday.
After suffering a sixth league defeat of the season, Van Gaal must also lift his players for Friday's FA Cup fourth round trip to Derby County.
Loud jeers rang around Old Trafford as the team left the field following Saturday's loss and another poor result would heighten pressure for change at Manchester.
With United now five points off the top four, out of the Champions League and having only won only three of their last 13 matches in all competitions, Van Gaal said later he could understand fans' frustration.
"I'm very disappointed that I cannot reach the expectations of the fans," he said. "They have – or they had – great expectations of me, and I cannot fulfil them.
The loss to Southampton left United in fifth place in the league table, trailing leaders Leicester City by 10 points and five points adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
The defeat also marked the first time this season that the increasingly impatient fans showed open dissent against the manager.
Van Gaal admitted for the first time after the game that he had failed at Old Trafford, saying he was disappointed and frustrated that he had not lived up to the fans' expectations. — Reuters.
