There are so many things wrong with the 2012 remake of
Red Dawn
that it is almost easy to give it a poor review. However, there is something about the movie that left me with a smile on my face when it ended. If there is a definition of a guilty pleasure, a movie that is enjoyable despite all its downfalls, this movie might fall into that category. Before I start this review, I encourage you to ignore whatever score I decide to give it and just read what problems I had with it. Then, you can determine if those are bad enough to keep you from enjoying the movie.
The new
Red Dawn
makes one pretty big change from the original 1984 film. The bad guys are now Koreans instead of Russians, which makes sense because the Soviet Union is no longer dangerous to world peace. However, that does not mean the title is out of place, because the Russians still play a role by allying themselves with the Koreans in the attack on the United States. The two movies open the exact same way, with the news that led to this point in history. Unlike the text used in the 1984 version, news clips and manipulated footage from real newscasters and politicians set the political tone of the film.
As a matter of fact, many of the events from the original movie appear in this one, but this is not a straight copy of the original film. The new version tries to add in a number of scenes that add depth to the story and make you actually care more about the characters and events than the original did. These scenes are all really hit and miss when it comes to adding anything to the film.
One thing that some people might dislike is that the new movie is filled with a lot more hope than the classic one. That didn't bother me at all and I think it made it a better theatrical experience. The original movie was full of the teen stars of the era but remained a dark, serious movie. The new version also has some of today's hottest young talent, but this one keeps it lighter and more exciting. It is entertaining instead of dark.
The best change in the movie is to make the kids more hands-on when it comes to fighting. In the original movie, the kids were in hiding and undertook random attacks on the Russians before they found the downed helicopter and the U.S. military men start to help them. These soldiers take the form of "Basil Exposition" and tell the kids what happened to the country before helping them make a bigger dent in their war against the Russians.
In the new movie, The Wolverines do a lot of damage to the Koreans and the military men seek them out because they heard about the fighting and The Wolverines actually have influenced other groups across the United States to fight back as well. It makes our heroes more heroic and less victims in this fight, and this makes sense because Chris Hemsworth's Jed is a soldier himself, at home on leave. The ending also changed, although there are still many deaths. In this movie, the real heroes are the kids who become adults and lead the battles to retake their country. That works much better than the deus ex machina of the original movie.
I was also very impressed with Chris Hemsworth. The guy is more than just Thor, and between that movie,
The Cabin in the Woods
Red Dawn
, I feel Hemsworth is one of the best young actors working today. I also enjoyed the performance of Josh Hutcherson in the movie and felt the acting was pretty great all around. Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Matt Gerald were also standouts when they showed up as the Marines later in the movie ("Marines don't die, they just find each other in Hell and regroup").
Let's talk about what does not work in this movie. To start off, we'll look at the script. This is a script that hammers the viewer over the head with its messages. The first real scene in the movie is Matt (Josh Peck) playing in a football game. He chooses to do what he wants over what is best for the team and loses the game as a result. Of course, this ties in with the lesson he has to learn in the movie. It is generic and boring when it comes to story structure.
This film also does something that is almost unforgivable, and that is throwing in characters to move the plot forward and then forgetting about them. Some characters join up and then are never seen again. When the kids first make a break for it, after the Koreans attack the town, one kid jumps in the bed of the truck to make it to safety, but is quickly launched out and into the window of a Korean jeep, supposedly killing him instantly. No one ever mentions him again. Many people show up and die, never to be heard from again. Daryl's dad, the mayor, once again plays into the story as someone who tries to work with the Koreans to save the townspeople but we never see what happens to him. When movies ignore characters and leave plot holes like this, it always hurts the story.
Another big problem is the camera work. Paul Greengrass is a master of shaky-cam and did a great job in the
movies. Most of the imitators don't know what they are doing and their camerawork takes away from the movie instead of adding to it. This was Dan Bradley's first movie as a director, but he worked on the
movies as a second unit director. He may know how to move the camera, but he does not understand why you should move it. This movie's action and chase scenes were horribly shot and really detracted from the movie.
His direction also fails when it comes to pacing and setting up suspense. When someone dies, you should feel surprised and shocked. It should never, ever, be setup where everyone knows that someone is about to bite the bullet. In the movie's most important death, Bradley does everything he can to set up the death to "mean something" but what happens is that you are just sitting there waiting for the death to come. Even if you never saw the first movie, there are moments in this movie where everything is telegraphed so clearly that all that lacked was a neon sign proclaiming you should REMEMBER THIS SCENE.
The 411
: Poor directing with a poorly structured script should mark the death knell for a movie. However, this movie had some really good acting by the youngsters in the lead roles and the plot itself was really fun. If you can get past the signposts that Bradley made sure spoiled all surprises, and the directing that makes it impossible to keep up with, and just want to see a good story underneath it all, this might be a good movie to catch. However, I'd suggest waiting for it to hit video because there isn't much worth seeing on the big screen.
Final Score: 5.0

Process advances for leadframe applications
Henkel released its Ablestik C100 series conductive die attach films. Available in two formulations, – Ablestik C130 and Ablestik C115 supplied in 30 micron and 15 micron thicknesses, respectively – Henkel's conductive die attach films now enable leadframe package manufacturers to realize the advantages film-based products have over traditional paste die attach products. Among the established benefits are the elimination of die tilt, the ability to process thinner die and facilitation of greater bondline control – all of which allow for improved processability, higher yields and better long-term reliability.
The development of Ablestik C100 die attach films is a huge leap forward for the leadframe package sector. Film simply provides incomparable process control and reliability- and now those advantages are no longer limited to non-conductive processes, but are available for applications that require conductive materials as well.
Ablestik C100 series film die attach materials also provide a high degree of manufacturing latitude, as their workability has been established on die sizes ranging from 1mm x 1mm up to 6mm x 6mm for a variety of package types including both QFNs and QFPs. In addition, the materials' better wetting ability with lower bonding temperature provides extremely stable adhesion strength, allowing robust adhesion against moisture and MSL Level 2 performance on all leadframe surface finishes.
As wafers continue to get thinner, leadframe packaging specialists will require die attach film alternatives to provide processing support and stability. Ablestik C100 materials deliver this essential process control element in combination with a bevy of other advantages.

Paul Georgy serves as president/CEO of Allendale, Inc., a worldwide agricultural advisory and research firm that provides agricultural commodity price research and risk management alternatives for producers, major food companies, international corporations, foreign governments, and major news vendors.
Good Morning! Paul Georgy with early morning comments for September 17, 2013 at 5:00 am. Grain futures are higher as traders wait for the release of the FSA's prevent plantings report.
The eroding basis in soybeans has traders willing to get out of longs in futures but will producers really move a lot of beans at harvest? Their bins are empty and the need for cash is not a reason to sell at weaker prices.
Weekend rains may have helped the later maturing soybeans and the forecast is for another system to move through the cornbelt later this week. Crop conditions showed beans are maturing rapidly and if moisture help is on the way, it needs to get here quickly. The USDA dropped soybean conditions by 2% to 50% G/E.
Corn harvest is picking up speed as more of our customers are getting started. Early harvest yields are still coming in better than farmers were expecting in most areas. Crop conditions for corn dropped 1% to 53% in the good to excellent category.
The NOPA crush number was in line with what was needed to meet USDA projections on the September Supply & Demand report. The quarterly stocks report released on September 30 now becomes a very important number in determining ending stocks for soybeans.
The FOMC meeting begins today and the minutes of the meeting will be released tomorrow. Will the Fed begin tapering the money they dump into the system every month? The trade is expecting about a $10 billion reduction.
Lean Hog futures are the favorite of managed money as their long positions continue to grow and set new records on a weekly CFTC Report. Pork cutout values were down 1.45 on Monday. The recent hot weather, PED virus and the buildup of breeding herds are keeping market hog supplies tight.
Beef cutout values were mixed with choice up .33 and select down .25. Cash cattle trade has no bids at this time. The CME Feeder Index was up .40 to 156.33. Live cattle futures are waiting for some positive news from the product side as fed cattle supplies will get tighter in coming week. Friday the USDA will release the September COF report.
Markets as of 5:00 AM

about autophagy...
Autophagy is a highly conserved eukaryotic pathway for sequestering and transporting bulk cytoplasm, including proteins and organelle material, to the lysosome for degradation (reviewed in 8). Upon starvation for nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and various amino acids, or upon endoplasmic reticulum stress, cells initiate formation of a double-membrane vesicle, termed an autophagosome, that mediates this process (9, 10, reviewed in 11). Approximately 30 autophagy-related (Atg) proteins have been identified in S. cerevisiae, 17 of which are essential for formation of the autophagosome (reviewed in 12). Null mutations in most of these genes prevent induction of autophagy, and cells do not survive nutrient starvation; however, these mutants are viable in rich medium. Some of the Atg proteins are also involved in a constitutive biosynthetic process termed the cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway, which uses autophagosomal-like vesicles for selective transport of hydrolases aminopeptidase I (Lap4p) and alpha-mannosidase (Ams1p) to the vacuole (13, 14).
Autophagy proceeds via a multistep pathway (a summary diagram (download pdf) kindly provided by Dan Klionsky). First, nutrient availability is sensed by the TORC1 complex and also cooperatively by protein kinase A and Sch9p (15, 16). Second, signals generated by the sensors are transmitted to the autophagosome-generating machinery comprised of the 17 Atg gene products. These 17 proteins collectively form the pre-autophagosomal structure/phagophore assembly site (PAS). The PAS generates an isolation membrane (IM), which expands and eventually fuses along the edges to complete autophagosome formation. At the vacuole the outer membrane of the autophagosome fuses with the vacuolar membrane and autophagic bodies are released, disintegrated, and their contents degraded for reuse in biosynthesis (17 and reviewed in 12).
about the Cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway
Cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) is a constitutive and specific form of autophagy that uses autophagosomal-like vesicles for selective transport of hydrolases aminopeptidase I (Lap4p) and alpha-mannosidase (Ams1p) to the vacuole (13, 14). Unlike autophagy, which is primarily a catabolic process, Cvt is a biosynthetic process. Like autophagosomes, Cvt vesicles form at a structure known as the phagophore assembly site (PAS) (also called the pre-autophagosomal structure). The PAS structure generates an isolation membrane (IM), which expands and eventually fuses along the edges to complete vesicle formation. At the vacuole, the outer membrane of the Cvt vesicle fuses with the vacuolar membrane, the vesicle is degraded, and the cargos are released and processed into their mature forms by vacuolar peptidases (reviewed in 18). The Cvt pathway has not been observed outside of yeast, and enzymes specifically involved in this pathway are not well conserved in other organisms (19 and references therein).
about ATG13
ATG13 and ATG17 encode the regulatory subunits of the Atg1p protein kinase complex, and are required for vesicle expansion during autophagy (20, 6, and reviewed in 12). Atg13p and Atg17p stimulate Atg1p kinase activity, and formation of this complex is specific to autophagy and enhanced during starvation (6). An Atg1p-Atg13p complex is also required for proper localization and cycling of autophagy proteins such as Atg9p, Atg23p, and Atg27p (5, 21).
In nutrient-rich conditions, Atg13p is hyperphosphorylated in a Tor-dependent manner and phospho-Atg13p has a lower affinity for Atg1p and Atg17p. Upon starvation, Atg13p is dephosphorylated and Atg1p-Atg13p-Atg17p complex formation and subsequent induction of autophagy occurs (22, and reviewed in 23). atg13 mutants are defective in autophagy, sporulation, and survival under starvation conditions (2, 3). ATG13 is highly conserved and homologs have been identified from yeast to man (19).
about autophagy nomenclature
The initial identification of factors involved in autophagy was carried out by several independent labs, which led to a proliferation of nomenclature for the genes and gene products involved. The differing gene name acronyms from these groups included APG, AUT, CVT, GSA, PAG, PAZ, and PDD (1 and references therein). A concerted effort was made in 2003 by the scientists working in the field to unify the nomenclature for these genes, and "AuTophaGy-related" genes are now denoted by the letters ATG (1). In addition to the ATG gene names that have been assigned to S. cerevisiae proteins and their orthologs, several ATG gene names, including ATG25, ATG28, and ATG30, have been used to designate proteins in other ascomycete yeast species for which there is no identifiable equivalent in S. cerevisiae (19, 24).

First, another tragic headline. Then the latest letter about grieving from president Robert A. Brown. Another vigil, another funeral.
It is a cycle that has become painfully familiar at Boston University, where 11 students, including undergraduates and graduate students, have died in the past 13 months in accidents or violence. The array of tragedies covers so many ways a young life could end suddenly: a senseless shooting, traffic accidents, a death after a fraternity party.

To many people, summer means hanging out at the pool or the beach, soaking up rays in pursuit of a golden tan. But before you put on your bathing suit and head to the pool (or pay for a bed or booth in a tanning salon), there are a few things to think about when it comes to your skin and sun exposure.
The sun's rays contain two types of ultraviolet radiation that reach your skin: UVA and UVB. UVB radiation burns the upper layers of skin (the epidermis), causing sunburns.
UVA radiation is what makes people tan. UVA rays penetrate to the lower layers of the epidermis, where they trigger cells called melanocytes (pronounced: mel-an-oh-sites) to produce melanin. Melanin is the brown pigment that causes tanning.
Melanin is the body's way of protecting skin from burning. Darker-skinned people tan more deeply than lighter-skinned people because their melanocytes produce more melanin. But just because a person doesn't burn does not mean that he or she is also protected against skin cancer and other problems.
UVA rays may make you tan, but they can also cause serious damage. That's because UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB rays. UVA rays can go all the way through the skin's protective epidermis to the dermis, where blood vessels and nerves are found.
Because of this, UVA rays may damage a person's immune system, making it harder to fight off diseases and leading to illnesses like melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer. Melanoma can kill. If it's not found and treated, it can quickly spread from the skin to the body's other organs.
Skin cancer is epidemic in the United States, with more than 1 million new cases diagnosed every year. Although the numbers of new cases of many other types of cancer are falling or leveling off, the number of new melanoma cases is growing.
In the past, melanoma mostly affected people in their fifties or older, but today dermatologists see patients in their twenties and even late teens with this type of cancer. Experts believe this is partly due to an increase in the use of tanning beds and sun lamps, which have high levels of UVA rays. Getting a sunburn or intense sun exposure may also increase a person's chances of developing this deadly cancer.
Exposure to UVB rays also increases your risk of getting two other types of skin cancer: basal and squamous cell carcinoma.
The main treatment for skin cancers is cutting the tumors out. Since many basal or squamous cell carcinomas are on the face and neck, surgery to remove them can leave people with facial scars. The scars from surgery to remove melanomas can be anywhere on the body, and they're often large.
Cancer isn't the only problem associated with UV exposure. UVA damage is the main factor in premature skin aging. To get a good idea of how sunlight affects the skin, look at your parents' skin and see how different it is from yours. Much of that is due to sun exposure, not the age difference!
UV rays can also lead to another problem we associate with old people: the eye problem cataracts.
Staying out of the sun altogether may seem like the only logical answer. But who wants to live like a hermit? The key is to enjoy the sun sensibly, finding a balance between sun protection and those great summer activities like beach volleyball and swimming.
Sunscreens block or change the effect of the sun's harmful rays. They're one of your best defenses against sun damage because they protect you without interfering with your comfort and activity levels.
The SPF number on a sunscreen shows the level of UVB protection it gives. Sunscreens with a higher SPF number provide more defense against the sun's damaging UV rays.
Here are some tips to enjoy the great outdoors while protecting your skin and eyes from sun damage:
Other things to know when it comes to avoiding sun damage:
Even when you're serious about protecting your skin, you may sometimes want the glow of a tan. Luckily, many products on the market — but not sun lamps or tanning beds — will let you tan safely and sun-free.
One safe way to go bronze is with sunless self-tanners. These "tans in a bottle" contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which gradually stains the dead cells in your skin's outer layer. The "tan" lasts until these skin cells slough off, so exfoliating or vigorously washing will make the color fade faster. Typically, self-tanners last from several days to a week.
You may have to try a few brands of self-tanner to find one that looks best with your skin tone. For a subtle, goof-proof glow, try moisturizers that contain a modest amount of fake tanner, letting you gradually build up a little color without blotches and staining — or the smell that some people dislike. All of these options are cheap, too, usually around $10.
Ask a friend to help you apply self-tanner to spots you can't reach, like your back. And be sure to wash your hands as soon as you finish applying the tanner. Areas of your body that don't normally tan (like the palms of your hands or soles of the feet) just look dirty if you leave tanner on them.
With self-tanners, you get better results if you exfoliate your skin with a scrub brush or loofah before the tanner is applied. This evens your skin tone and removes dead skin cells.
If you use a sunless tanner, you'll need to wear plenty of sunscreen when you go outdoors to protect you from the sun's rays. Self-tanners don't generate melanin production, so they won't protect you against sunburn (and some scientists believe they might even make skin more susceptible to sun damage).
If you're thinking about using a sunless tanner, it's a good idea to avoid airbrush or spray-on tans. The FDA hasn't approved DHA for use internally or on mucous membranes (like the lips). Spray tans may have unknown health risks because people can breathe in the spray, or the tanner may end up on their lips or eye area.

Gov. Pat Quinn was joined by Illinois schoolchildren at the James R. Thompson Center to light the state of Illinois' holiday tree and launch the annual Illinois Heroes holiday card drive.
Wounded Illinois service members in Germany will get a visit this week from Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn.
The governor leaves Monday night for his annual trip to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany with handmade holiday cards in tow from school children across the state.
The governor also will host a dinner for 18 Illinois service members stationed in Germany. Quinn began the tradition seven years ago while he was lieutenant governor.
Before he leaves, he'll sign legislation at 1:30 p.m. to waive the college degree requirement for Illinois service members to take the test for state police officer after their return from Iraq and Afghanistan.
He also is asking for Hero Miles, donations of frequent-flier miles, to those who can't afford the trip to visit injured family members.

Is the economy destroying love?
Many young people are delaying 'key life decisions' like getting married and having children.
This post comes from Kimberly Palmer at partner site U.S. News & World Report.
For recent college graduates, the post-recession economy has meant a challenging job market, lower earnings, and a greater chance of moving back home with parents. As they progress through their 20s, it also means they're more likely to push off traditional milestones such as getting married and starting a family.
A new survey from Generation Opportunity, a nonprofit dedicated to engaging young adults on economic issues, found that eight in 10 young women between the ages of 18 and 29 living in Florida say they've delayed "key life decisions" because of the weak economy. Three in 10 specifically mentioned starting a family as something they will either delay or possibly skip altogether, and two in 10 said the same about marriage.
Respondents also listed a variety of other life events they're skipping or putting off: vacations, attending weddings or family reunions, buying a home and saving for retirement. In a statement, Generation Opportunity executive vice president Amber Roseboom noted that young women's "careers and dreams have been interrupted."
The survey echoes similar national findings of both genders. Earlier this year, the Pew Research Center found that almost one in three young adults between the ages of 18 and 34 say they have delayed marriage or parenthood because of the economy. About half said they have taken jobs they don't want to pay bills.
When it comes to the biggest life decisions -- when and whether to get married and have children -- money undoubtedly plays a big role. But it's possible to find ways to make both events more affordable. Marriage can even help couples save money, especially if they combine expenses they previously paid separately, such as food, housing and transportation. Couples with very different salaries, or where one spouse earns a lot and the other earns little or nothing, can also find themselves paying a lower tax rate post-nuptials. (The opposite is often true for couples who earn similar amounts.)
Babies are a little trickier. They are expensive, and getting more expensive all the time. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently reported that babies born in 2011 will cost their parents $234,900 before age 18, which was a 3.5% increase over the previous year. That's because child care, education, transportation and food prices are all rising.
But as with marriage, there are ways to generate savings: Children can share bedrooms, parents can buy or borrow secondhand clothes and toys, and buying and cooking food in bulk can keep grocery bills down. Parents might even find that some pre-baby costs, such as restaurant meals and vacations, naturally go down with their new child-centric lifestyle.
Still, there's no avoiding the fact that marriage and parenthood often introduce new expenses into one's life. Based on the recent surveys, young adults appear to be keenly aware of that fact. Delaying either event can be the smart move for 20-somethings still struggling to find their own financial footing.
But for those intent on moving forward, either down the aisle or into parenthood, there's usually a way to make it happen without breaking the bank.

I ask you to also consider what this economic loss is doing to older people who have their life savings dwindling rapidly by high costs and interest rates that are next to nothing. The friction that can build because of the worries of getting by is not pleasant. It's not just the young who are having a hard time of it. We worked hard all our lives, paid our taxes, raised our families, and now we are worried about becoming penniless. There are no cost of living increases in SS and more is being taken out for Medicare every year. We paid a lot of money into those programs and illegals are getting our share now.
Cooperatives not corporations; are the answer to the worldwide economic crises. This world is suffering because of ignorance in the fundamental principles of power, prosperity. and peace. The so called greatest generation are the most greedy, envious, hateful, proud, self-righteous, and hypocritical people to ever walk the earth: Insisting on maintaining an unsustainable standard of living, and willing to sell future generations including their own children into economic slavery. Cooperatives are democratic business machines which seek the greatest good for both the producer and consumer: While corporations are fascist business machines which seek to be the middle men which monopolize markets in order to extract maximum profit from both the producers and consumers, by driving wages down and cost up, and providing an inferior product or service, thereby enriching the select united few at the expense of the divided majority. It is my honest hope and prayer that future generations will awaken to the truth about corporate perversion and build the cooperatives necessary to fix our economic problems and create a just society.
Campercowboy - regarding your comment about the reality of the article.
Your generation wasn't any better or any more extraordinary than the rest of humanity. The circumstances that surrounded your generation propelled a nation to come together and unite to survive. When peoples lives are truly threatened they will unite and fight until the death.
Someone explain Obamacare benefits to me, please.. Part of it is to make sure "everyone who doesn't have insurance has it in the future, and Will Be Punished if they do not have it"..
The very people worst off from current economic life, unable to have something they want as protection, will be fined/taxed if they do not have it.. This fixes things? This is like making people at a food shelter pay FOOD to get in.. Huh?
It's the most ghastly fart/dump you've ever smelled, stinks to high heaven.. And is proud of it..
The question stated, have you delayed marriage or children, is undoubtedly yes.. I am not a 20 something, but a 40 something, with 20 something kids..
I have delayed re-marrying, my kids delay marrying.. The economic unrest, the re-electing a President who made things worse (yes, the table was set for failure, but.. he made it mcuh worse).. We kept Israel out of trouble more than is noted, through words and big brother actions..
The current admin does not do that, either method.. We are at a crossroads people, and we failed to change leadership.. The Middle East will be a huge downfall, given current leaders roles in it, he has acted more self-serving than almost All of his predecessors, and.. WE are the ones who'll pay, not the politicians, but us.. We the People..
One can only hope. "Love" is a cliche invented to sell Hallmark cards; the more people stop thinking with their heart and start using their heads, arranging relationships on the basis of sensible decision-making (or at least a spark of genuine passion) rather than maudlin cliches, the faster the divorce rate will start slacking off. Romance is just a pretty word for stupidity, an adolescent fantasy that our species should outgrow and begin making its partnering decisions in a responsible and intelligent manner.

Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - What a difference a few weeks make.
Dan Haren had one of the shortest outings of his career against the New York Mets his last time out against them, but responded with potentially his best start in a Washington Nationals uniform.
Haren tossed six scoreless innings of one-hit ball in the Nationals' 3-0 win over the Mets in the third test of a four-game set.
Haren (9-13) fanned eight and walked just one for the Nationals, who have won 18 of their last 22 games against the Mets at Citi Field. They're 22-9 over their last 31 tilts overall.
"He pitched a great ball game. He made quality pitches all night long," Washington manager Davey Johnson said of Haren.
The right-hander surrendered seven runs and nine hits over 2 2/3 frames in an 11-3 home loss to New York on Aug 31. Haren was 4-0 with a 1.98 ERA over his last seven tilts coming into that game.
Washington remains six games behind the Cincinnati Reds for the NL's second wild-card spot with 17 to play.
Ryan Zimmerman smacked a solo shot, Anthony Rendon had a two-run double and Rafael Soriano worked a scoreless ninth to tally his 41st save of the season in the triumph.
Zack Wheeler (7-5) allowed a run on eight hits and a walk over seven innings for New York, which has dropped eight of its last 10 contests.
Washington squandered a second-and-third, one-out opportunity in the first and failed to push a runner across with a runner in scoring position with two outs in the fourth and fifth, but Zimmerman led off the sixth and belted an 0-2 pitch over the wall in left-center to get the Nats on the board.
"I just made that one mistake to Zimmerman," Wheeler said.
The Nationals added insurance in the eighth when Rendon banged a two-out, two- run double off the base of the wall in left-center to make it 3-0.
Mets manager Terry Collins was wearing an NYPD hat during batting practice in
honor of those affected by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks 12 years ago ...
Haren fired 59 of his 86 pitches for strikes ... Washington was 1-for-10 with
runners in scoring position.

The father of Sarah Palin's grandson will be baring all for Playgirl! Levi Johnston, the ex-boyfriend of Bristol Palin and father to little Tripp is going to take it all off for Playgirl magazine. Read more on this story below!
Levi Johnston, 19, will be posing nude for Playgirl! Levi is training three hours a day, six nights a week at a gym in Anchorage with a body builder.
Although they have yet to reach a formal agreement, Levi's photo shoot is a "foregone conclusion," Rex Butler, Levi's attorney said.
Johnston fathered the son of Bristol, Sarah Palin's 18-year-old daughter. Sarah Palin is of course the former Republican vp candidate and just resigned as governor of Alaska in July.
Levi Johnston baring it all could prove to be embarrassing to Sarah Palin. Some have even thought it possible she could be considered a 2012 presidential candidate., often mentioned as a possible 2012 presidential candidate. Her memoir, "Going Rogue," will be published next month and pre-sales already have made it a national best seller.
Johnston's first TV commercial, hawking Wonderful brand pistachios, debuted just this week.
What do you guys think of Levi posing all "nekkid" for Playgirl?

Durham's city manager says he plans to review 44 recommended policy changes for the police department and present his report on those recommendations to City Council in August.
During its May 22 work session, Durham City Council reviewed 34 recommendations from the city's Human Relations Commission regarding allegations of racial profiling within the police force. Preceding the HRC's report, the city's Civilian Police Review Board additionally presented 10 recommendations on improving the role of the CPRB in the relationship between police and the community.
The HRC report outlines ways the police department can better communicate with the public, improve oversight of officers and train officers to deal with racial issues. It came after months of public hearings and analysis of publicly-available traffic stop data by several outside groups, which showed black people in Durham are much more likely to be stopped and searched in traffic than whites.
After the May 22 presentation, Mayor Bill Bell asked City Manager Thomas Bonfield for recommendations on how to fix the problem by the June 16 council meeting. Bonfield, however, said because of issues associated with the FY 2015 budget, he was unable to meet the June 16 deadline but hopes to review the recommendations and present a report at the City Council's Aug. 21 work session.
"Due to the complexity of several of the recommendations, additional research needed, coordination of meeting, and summer vacation schedules, I believe it is reasonable to think this work can be completed in approximately 60 days," Bonfield said in a letter Monday to Bell and City Council.
In reviewing the recommendations, Bonfield said he will implement any actions that he deems appropriate and are within his authority. He also said that any recommendations that he deems appropriate but are outside his authority of implementation will be referred to City Council for consideration.
"It is reasonable to expect that some recommendation both within and beyond my authority will not receive my concurrence," Bonfield said. "In all cases, these too will be presented to the City Council ... for consideration."
Bonfield said he will lead the review and evaluation of the recommendations along with members of the city manager's office. He added that the review process will look at law enforcement best practices and North Carolina peer city practices.
He said he also plans to consider feedback from the Durham Police Department.
If work on the review is completed prior to the Aug. 21 work session, Bonfield said he will present his response to the recommendations during the City Council's Aug. 7 work session.
The recommendations come as the police department has been heavily scrutinized over a number of incidents involving officers.
In July, and an officer shot and killed a Spanish speaking man who was holding a knife and refused to put it down. Witnesses say Jose Ocampo was trying to give the weapon to officers handle first when the officer shot him.
In September, Durham officers also shot Derek Walker, who was waving a gun in the air and threatening to kill himself in CCB Plaza.
In November, the department was criticized for its handling of the death of 17-year-old Jesus Huerta, who investigators said shot himself while handcuffed in the backseat of a police cruiser.
And last month, the police department released video from a police cruiser showing an altercation between an officer and a bicyclist, John Hill, who the officer said ran a red light. During the altercation, the video shows the officer using an arm bar technique to force Hill to the ground.
A judge dismissed charges against Hill, ruling that the officer used more force than was necessary. Hill has since accused the department of profiling.
