HOWELL, Mich. (AP) - A judge has sent home a jury while he considers how to instruct them before they begin considering the case against a man charged with firing a gun at vehicles along the Interstate 96 corridor in Michigan.Prosecutors want Livingston County Circuit Judge David Reader to tell jurors in the case against Raulie Casteel that they may not consider mental illness as a defense for Casteel's actions when he shot at two-dozen cars in 2012.Defense lawyer Doug Mullkoff objects, calling the request "wholly inappropriate."Casteel earlier Monday testified in his defense, saying he shot at cars because he believed motorists were engaged in a government conspiracy against him. The 44-year-old defendant told jurors he was filled with fear and anxiety while in traffic, most likely from an undiagnosed delusional disorder. Casteel said he never thought about the ramifications of the shootings, only that he wanted "to send a message to back off."The judge and lawyers on both sides are expected to revisit the jury-instruction issue Tuesday before proceeding to closing arguments.

The Third Committee of the United Nations voted last week to condemn executions based on an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity. This is a distinct reversal from 2010, when the same committee stripped "sexual orientation" from the resolution, which also never included gender identity before now. Numerous Islamic countries and the Vatican attempted to remove the LGBT-inclusion, but their amendments failed. The Obama administration abstained from the resolution, but praised it nonetheless.

Steven Mosley
Steven Mosley, a writer, filmmaker and biblical storyteller from Orange County, Calif., will be primary resource person for spring spiritual life week Monday through Friday, Feb. 9-12, on the theme, "God's Word in Our Lives."
Activities will open 9 p.m. Monday with a campfire worship service with reflections from scripture on Thomas Plaza of the Campus Center.
A panel of instructors, pastors and students will present "Thoughts on the Bible: Relic or Relevant?" 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Common Grounds Coffeehouse.
Mosely (www.stevenmosley.com) will give his first major presentation in an extended university chapel service 9:55-10:40 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11, in Lehman Auditorium. He will give a "The Chosen Garment," a one-man, 42-minute trek through the gospel story in one act.
A second performance by Mosley, "Likely Suspects," will be given 9 p.m. Wednesday in Martin Chapel of the seminary building. This dramatic presentation takes people through the Bible story looking back from the "scene of the crime," the cross of Christ. It's a mystery story focusing on why Jesus had to die.
Mosley will speak 9:30 a.m. Thursday in Martin Chapel of the seminary building, followed by another performance, "Where's The Plan?" at 7 p.m. in Martin Chapel.
In this presentation, Mosley takes a trip through the Bible that illuminates his own journey from the anger and confusion and rebellion of the post-divorce world to a redemptive discovery that God does indeed have a plan for our lives. It's a search for home again, a way back to Eden.
A talk-back session with Mosley will follow at 8 p.m. in the Common Grounds Coffeehouse. Another campfire worship with scripture reflection will be held at 9 p.m. on Thomas Plaza of the Campus Center, with a hymn sing at 10 p.m. in the recital hall on ground floor of Lehman Auditorium.
Earl Martin of Harrisonburg will do biblical storytelling 10 a.m. Friday in Lehman Auditorium. Martin, a carpenter, honed his narrative craft as a service worker in Vietnam, the Philippines and in Washington, D.C., and currently as a passionate grandfather.
Following university chapel, hot chocolate and conversation will take place in the Campus Center Greeting Hall.
Mosley Award-Winning Producer and Writer
With over 200 telecasts to his credit, Mosley is a Telly and Angel award-winning producer and scriptwriter who has been making the Bible come alive for contemporary audiences since 1984. Some of his major projects include a seven-part series on Christian martyrs, "Unshakable Faith," and a seven-part series, "Empires in Collision," taped in Paris, Rome, and New Delhi.
He has served in the Saddleback Community Church drama ministry and as the director of drama for Coast Hills Community Church in Southern California.
Mosley is the author of 12 books, including "Secrets of the Mustard Seed", "Secrets of Jesus' Touch" and "Great Stories and How to Tell Them." His book, "Glimpses of God," was a featured selection in the "Guideposts" Book Club.
"We're working on increasing biblical literacy in creative ways," said Brian Martin Burkholder, EMU campus pastor. "In addition to the worship gatherings and dynamic dramatizations, students, faculty and staff will read through the New Testament at a Bible reading station in the Campus Center. Students and others will be invited to join or form Bible reading circles and a biblical storytelling group in the weeks ahead," he added.
All programs of Spiritual Life Week are open to the public free of charge. Donations will be accepted for the Steven Mosley performances.

[…]A few weeks ago, Lowery gleefully confronted supporters of the bill with this argument at the Future of Music Coalition Conference, which led bill sponsor, Senator Ron Wyden, to hit back and claim that, as one of the strongest defenders of the First Amendment, he'd never support a bill that took away free speech rights. He promised Lowery that he'd review the specific language of the bill, and if there were any interpretations that impacted free speech rights, he'd fix them. […]
WASHINGTON, D.C.— There were moments Tuesday during the annual Future of Music Summit where the conversation about revenue in the digital music industry sounded like a scrum over crumbs, a desperate fight over an increasingly shrinking pie.
"There is so much competition for so much music, and it's all so devalued," said one exasperated music entrepreneur, Rodney Whittenberg.

Voices Question
Teachers: Should high school students have a later start to the day?
Comments: 10
Sorry if this is not a forum that allows foreigners to participate in. This topic used to be hotly debated in my country. Since excellent high schools are mostly located in major cities, students who live in the suburbs or the countryside must get up before five-thirty so as not to arrive school later than 7:30, the official standard of being on time to school in our system. Now the problem is that we are a very competitive society and high school students tend to go to bed until after midnight so as to prepare for bunches of tests the next day. As a result, they often sleep just five or six hours a day. Just for your reference. Thank you.
Eugene L
We need to stop ignoring the studies that support later start times for high school students. Extra-curricular activities need to work around a schedule that would benefit high school students' success in the classroom, not the other way around.
Jeff Welcher
Studies have shown that high school students need 8 1/2 hours of sleep. Additionally, teens rarely go to sleep before 11:00 p.m. as circadian rhythms delay with the onset of puberty (Hanson, 2005). This makes an "alert" 7:30 a.m. start time nearly impossible to obtain for teens. This evidence also warrants switching elementary student and high school student schedules. Extra-curricular activities can be scheduled around academics with before-school practices or lunch meetings. Hansen, M., Janssen, I., Schiff, A., Zee, P., & Dubocovich, M. (2005). The impact of school daily schedule on adolescent sleep. Pediatrics, 115(6), 1555-1561.
Margaret Molnar
The high school day currently starts before 8AM. This early hour does not allow time for the student or the teacher to prepare and eat a breakfast in an unhurried manner unless he or she arises at 4 or 5 in the morning and has a travel time of one hour or less. People's health and well being are more important to their daily performance at whatever the task may be than rushing to be in a specific place at a given time. I recommend an arrival time no earlier than 8:45AM, the way it used to be in the 1970's.
Beatrice Y. Rice
Considering that teenagers already stay up for various reasons, including homework, it would definitely improve their working capability throughout the day to start later. Also, teenager's bodies are wired to stay up late (http://healthmad.com/children/why-do-teens-sleep-and-wake-up-late/) and it has already been proven to be beneficial for teens to have a later start in the day(http://www.cehd.umn.edu/research/highlights/Sleep/).
Caitlin Meisle
Michael Monaco has a valid argument concerning the problems that might be created by starting later. However, since we are talking about "flipping the class", why not flip the whole school day? Simply hold extra-curricular events (including sports) before school instead of after. The kids involved can arrive as early as they like, while those who would prefer to get some sleep could arrive at the new later start time. . . . and all the kids could leave school at the same time (instead of arriving at the same time).
Alan Bronstein
If all high schools had later starting times it would not only help out the students, but they would all be on the same page as far as athletics. The elementary schools could start earlier which would help working parents, and since younger children tend to rise earlier it would be a win-win. Years ago all schools went from 8 to 3 and athletic events still went on although not everyone plays sports. The sleep studies and medical reports should be heeded.
Alison Meyer
High school students should not have a later start time. My students are the first to admit they stay up too late playing video games and talking/texting friends. Giving them a later start time would condone these actions when in fact they should be encouraged to break this bad habit. When they go to college or get a job they need to be prepared to start their day at 8:00 as most businesses do.
Amy Carman
many of them have jobs... later start time just makes them need to leave erlier... they will not be able to pick thier start time in a job or college... responsibility is key for high school students...
kathy schmitt
You are not preparing children for the real world where start times are 5 a.m., 6 a.m.? How about have a law where parents are not allowed to have their children out past 9 p.m. If children are in bed at a reasonable time they can get up on time for a 7 a.m or 8 a.m start time. I have seen MANY elementary children in the resturants and stores 10 p.m. and later...

Cancer Research Highlights
PSA Screening Leads to Aggressive Treatment, Even in Older Men at Low Risk
A new study confirms previous research showing that screening for prostate cancer with the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test has led to overtreatment of many prostate cancers, including aggressive treatments in older men considered to be at low risk for progression of the disease. The results appeared in the July 26 Archives of Internal Medicine.
The researchers found that 77 percent of men with a serum PSA level of 4.0 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL)—the level at which a prostate biopsy is often recommended—or lower underwent either complete removal of their prostate, known as a radical prostatectomy, or radiation therapy. This treatment occurred even though more than half of these men were considered to be at low risk of disease progression based on commonly used factors, such as the Gleason score and the extent of local tumor spread.
Despite evidence that suggests older men are less likely to have a survival benefit from surgery or radiation compared with more conservative treatments, age was not a barrier to low-risk men receiving aggressive treatment. Nearly 69 percent of men age 65 to 74 and approximately 40 percent of men 75 and older underwent either surgery or radiation.
"Our study demonstrates that Gleason score, PSA level, and risk stratification does not appear to substantially influence the decision to have attempted curative therapy," wrote lead investigator Dr. Yu-Hsuan Shao of the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and colleagues.
To conduct the study, the researchers used data from NCI's SEER registry to identify nearly 124,000 men who were newly diagnosed with prostate cancer between 2004 and 2006. Of these men, 14 percent had PSA levels of 4.0 ng/mL or lower. Rates of radical prostatectomy and radiation were actually higher among men whose PSA levels were at or below 4.0 ng/mL than among men whose PSA levels were between 10.1 and 20.0 ng/mL.
"It has been documented that men who receive any treatment have increased risk of treatment-related adverse effects," Dr. Shao and colleagues wrote. "Therefore, it is critical that patients be counseled about treatment-associated adverse effects and benefits when they are deciding about therapy."
In an accompanying editorial, Drs. Richard Hoffman of the University of New Mexico and Steven Zeliadt of the University of Washington advocated for greater use of so-called active surveillance. This approach "balances the desire to avoid treatment complications against the equally strong desire not to ignore a cancer—while at the same time minimizing the risk of overtreatment," they explained.

Chemotherapy Regimen Benefits Men with Metastatic Penile Cancer
Men with cancer of the penis that had spread to nearby lymph nodes have benefited from three chemotherapy drugs given prior to surgery, known as neoadjuvant therapy, according to results published online July 19 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The nonrandomized phase II study, one of the first such prospective trials of its kind, included 30 men with stage III or stage IV penile squamous cell carcinoma and affected regional lymph nodes, but without distant metastases.
Half of the patients had either a partial or complete response, and 36.7 percent remained free of recurrence at the last clinical assessment. The vast majority of patients were able to tolerate the chemotherapy at full doses and on schedule, and 76.7 percent received all four planned courses. Based on these results, the researchers are recommending that the chemotherapy regimen, which included paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin, becomes the new standard treatment for this disease.
The chemotherapy regimen was selected because it has helped some patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Men with penile cancer have a low probability of surviving with lymphadenectomy alone, and a multimodal approach to treatment is desirable for such patients, the researchers said.
"This is a rare disease for which there is no standard of care in stages III and IV," said lead investigator Dr. Lance Pagliaro of the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. "There has been an urgent need in the field for a well-designed prospective trial to establish a standard chemotherapy regimen. We view this study as a starting point for moving forward in this disease."
Other chemotherapy drugs currently being tested in this disease can now be evaluated against this regimen, he noted. As a next step, his group and others have been developing trials that will include targeted therapies, such as epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors.
Hormone Therapy Increases Breast Cancer Risk for Women with Dense Breasts
Women who have dense breasts according to a system radiologists use to score mammograms, the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS), are at an increased risk of developing breast cancer compared with women whose breasts are of average density. And hormone therapy (HT) after menopause, in particular estrogen plus progestin, also increases the risk of breast cancer. Now a report from the NCI-funded Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) shows that the combination of these two factors increases breast cancer risk by up to twofold. The study appeared online July 19 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The BCSC team, led by Dr. Karla Kerlikowske of the University of California, San Francisco, examined data from seven registries that represent more than 580,000 women and nearly 1,350,000 screening mammograms. The women were age 30 or older, had normal body-mass indices, and completed questionnaires to report menopausal status, surgical histories, and their use of HT.
The association between breast density and cancer risk was strongest for premenopausal women and women using HT after menopause. In the study, premenopausal women with low or average breast density had a 5-year cancer risk ranging from 0.3 to 1.5 percent, compared with a range of 0.9 to 3.1 percent for women with dense or very-dense breasts. The researchers found that postmenopausal women with low or average breast density who used HT had 5-year risks ranging from 0.3 to 2.5 percent, whereas women with dense or very-dense breasts had a risk ranging from 1.1 to 4.4 percent. (Risk was slightly higher for those who used estrogen plus progestin versus estrogen alone.) However, whether they used HT or not, the risk of breast cancer was low for postmenopausal women who had low breast density.
How HT and breast density act together to increase cancer risk—whether the hormones slow the natural changes in the breast that occur with aging, for example, or whether they spur cell growth in cancer-prone cell types—remains unknown, noted the authors. But, in the meantime, "Postmenopausal women with high breast density may want to consider the added risk of breast cancer when deciding on whether to start or stop [HT], especially estrogen plus progestin," they wrote.
Brain Cancer Incidence Trends Do Not Support Link to Cell Phones
A new analysis by NCI researchers has turned up no evidence to support a link between cell phone use and brain cancer in the United States. The analysis was carried out in view of concerns about a possible link between widespread use of cell phones and brain cancer risk. With more than 279 million U.S. wireless subscribers today, the researchers reasoned that it should be possible to detect an increase in brain cancer rates over time if, in fact, cell phone use does contribute to risk of this particular cancer. The caveat would be that no effect would be expected if the induction period for brain tumors is very long or increased risk is limited to long-term users.
Dr. Peter Inskip and his colleagues in NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics used NCI's SEER database to examine brain cancer incidence trends between 1992 and 2006. In almost all age groups and in both men and women, the trends for brain cancer during these years were, if anything, slightly downward.
The one exception was a statistically significant increasing trend among females in their twenties, but not males. This increase, however, was driven by cancers in the frontal lobe of the brain, which is not where the researchers would have expected to see an effect from cell phones. Studies have shown that other parts of the brain are more highly exposed to the radiofrequency radiation from cell phones.
The U.S. findings are consistent with a recent study of brain cancer incidence trends in four European countries. That study found no change in rates from 1998 to 2003, the period when possible associations between mobile phone use and cancer risk would likely be apparent assuming an induction period of 5 to 10 years.

Expert Panel Reports on Knowledge Gaps for 20 Suspected Carcinogens
In a monograph released July 15, a coalition of leading health organizations called for more research into the possible cancer-causing effects of exposure to 20 chemical agents. Some of the named agents are commonly found in the environment, whereas others are more often limited to occupational exposures. A summary paper in Environmental Health Perspectives provides an overview of the technical report.
The monograph, titled Identification of research needs to resolve the carcinogenicity of high-priority IARC carcinogens, summarizes available evidence and provides specific guidance on the appropriate studies needed to definitively classify these agents. Several overarching issues were identified that pertain to multiple agents, including recognizing that carcinogenic agents can act through multiple pathways and mechanisms of toxicity.
"This report highlights the importance of conducting research in occupational settings to identify human carcinogens," said Dr. Debra Silverman, a co-author of the report and chief of the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch in NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics. "Findings from such occupational studies often allow experts to extrapolate the possible effects of low-level exposure to these agents in the general environment."
"There is significant concern among the public about substances or exposures in the environment that may cause cancer, and there are some common occupational agents and exposure circumstances where evidence of carcinogenicity is substantial but not yet conclusive for humans," added the report's lead author, Dr. Elizabeth Ward, from the American Cancer Society (ACS).
The project originated as part of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's National Occupational Research Agenda to enhance occupational cancer research, and it involves collaboration with NCI, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the ACS, and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Reviews (4)
"Love it"
Happy Hour.. More like Yappy Hour.. i have to correct myself when recommending the product because Yappy Hour is officially over in our house. I live uptown and the sound of keys would set my dog off. I would spray a few puffs on her chest and in my hands when i would clamp her leash before a walk. i now dont look like that girl while walking an a**hole dog! Thanks Blackwing
"Great product"
This is simply lavender, which can have a wonderful calming affect on people and a imams. I put a little on my hands and my pant leg by the dogs nose when I'm working with a personality that could use a little soothing. It can make a noticeable difference, or a more subtle one, but it isn't able to. or intended to, change the personality of your dog.
"I'm the bitch here."
My dog competes in a dog sport. She is a bitch and proud of it. She didn't need the balm for the sport, but it sure helped to balance me! I rubbed the Bitch Balm on my hands and took a deep breath. I had the benefit of the balm on my skin and the lavender in my nose. It took me down a notch so I didn't make my dog edgy.
"Did not work!"
Did not work. You might say that Bitch Balm turned my dog into a b..ch!

|In the 1990's there was a network dubbed, The Box, which will now forever RIP as part of the MTv vortex. For kids in their pajamas with unfettered access to cable, phones, and their parents' credit cards it was thee 'bomb'. It was a channel dedicated to music video vending machine heaven, where the Backstreet Boys were but $3.99 and a phone call away - consider it the St. Anne of Youtube. But some great things are ruined by popularity and eventually the Box was plagued by a horrifying loop of Celine Dion. Even armed with the awesome power of a pre-itunestoric music library, it ended up sucking because the variety was crowded out. This is the Antib Ox, a creature that dwells in a magical land of mob-free musical glory and corny pictorial accompaniment.

Best Celebrity Twin Baby Names
What's better than getting to name a new baby? How about getting to name two?! Looking for some stellar twin names for your dynamic duo? Or just dreaming of what it'd be like to name your own awesome twosome? Here are some celebrity twin name pairs that we think you'll agree are doubly delightful!
Tabitha & Loretta
Just as Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker is known for choosing offbeat fashions, SJP chose pretty uncommon names for her baby twin girls with husband Matthew Broderick. Italian name Loretta peaked in popularity back in the 1930s, and Biblical name Tabitha rose and fell in popularity in the 1970s thanks to the TV show Bewitched. Maybe her name choices will become as common as Carrie made the name Manolo!
Emme & Max
When Jennifer Lopez was born in 1969, her name was skyrocketing to the number-one spot on the charts and was as popular as Isabella is today. Likewise, the names she and hubby Marc Antony chose for their twins, Max & Emme, are name trendsetters, too! Why? Names with the letter x are on the rise, as are one-syllable classic-sounding names.
Vivienne & Knox
Whatever Brangelina do, the rest of the world follows! After the birth of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's boy/girl twins, names ending in the letter x (such as Knox) and various spellings of Vivienne have almost quadrupled in popularity. Wonder if the twins' French middle names– Léon and Marcheline (chosen to reflect the twins' birth in Nice, France)– will also catch on.
Charlie & Dolly
Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell may live in L.A., but their choice of casual, folksy names–Charlie & Dolly– for their twin girls sounds straight outta Nashville. Dolly in fact was named after Rebecca's favorite singer, country singing legend Dolly Parton. Sister Charlie's name (an increasingly popular name for girls) is also the name of Jerry's brother (who you might remember from The Bachelor a few years back).
Hazel & Phinneas
When Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder named their twins Hazel & Phinneas, everyone had an opinion. We think these old-fashioned, uncommon names are uniquely beautiful and we're fans of Phinneas' nickname, Finn. Hey, Julia could have done A LOT worse!
Valentino and Matteo
Latin heartthrob Ricky Martin gave his twin boys distinctly Latin names that are perfectly paired. We love how Valentino & Matteo are both three-syllable names with Latin origins and end in o, but that their pairing is not too rhyme-y or cutesy. Bravo, Papi Ricardo!
Eden & Savannah
Desperate Housewife Marcia Cross and husband Tom Mahoney chose two place names for their twin daughters. We think both the Georgia city name Savannah and the Biblical garden name Eden are feminine and unique. And we like how their names' common theme is not too obvious, unlike one place name combo that is popular for twin girls: Heaven & Nevaeh ("Heaven" spelled backwards??!!).
Ava & Grace
Sporty couple Mia Hamm (possibly the most famous female soccer star ever) and Nomar Garciaparra (former Major League baseball star and hitter of historic grand slams) have definitely broken ground on their respective playing fields. But when it came time to name their twin daughters, they went for classic–and very popular–names: Ava & Grace. Both names have a dominant "a" sound, and we give their solid twin name choices a grade of "A" as well.
Darby & Sullivan
Patrick Dempsey and wife Jillian must have taken the phrase "Irish twins" literally–they gave both of their twin boys totally Irish first and middle names. We can't decide whether we're bigger fans of the twins' first names, Darby & Sullivan, or the boys' middle names, Galen & Patrick. (Check out even more great Irish baby names … for twins or singles!)
Dexter & Frank
Singer Diana Krall helped bring retro jazz music back into vogue, so it's fitting that she gave her twin sons with music legend Elvis Costello names that are retro-inspired. The boys' old-school sounding names, Dexter & Frank are, frankly, music to our ears.
Rodney & Ryan
Holly Robinson Peete and football great Rodney Peete gave their boy/girl twins names starting with the same letter, R, a common naming practice by parents of twins. But the similarities end there. Son Rodney is a "junior" after his father (a very traditional naming technique), but daughter Ryan got a name more common for boys (a not-so-traditional naming technique).
Expecting twins? Or so inspired by those perfect pairings of names that you wish you were? Find more great baby names on our baby names pages!

MADISON, WI (WSAU) - Governor Scott Walker does not agree with a post-election comment made by State Superintendent Tony Evers.
Evers said after his resounding win over Don Pridemore that the victory means voters disapprove of private voucher school expansion, and that voters were rejecting Walker's education proposals.
Walker believes parents need to have the option to use vouchers so their children are not forced to attend failing schools. There are nine school districts in the state that would be affected if the voucher expansion is approved. It's part of the proposed state budget, which is in the hands of the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee now.

Blogging. I write this blog Reflective Writing: Writing from Within [mum.edu/reflective-writing] for the University on an occasional basis (trying for weekly posts). The focus of the site is reflective writing. Reflection is fundamental to all writing. I tend to write about whatever is currently absorbing my attention in the areas of writing, consciousness, literature, movies, travel writing, etc. For example, I did a series of posts during a recent trip to India, which can be found on my site. I tend to find connections each week with the act of reflection. I welcome comments and would enjoy a dialogue with anyone interested in reflection or in any other of my posts. For more information about me, see below.
Editing. Since 2008, I have served as editor for MUM's academic press imprint Consciousness-BasedSM Books, currently producing a series of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's collected lectures on the different academic disciplines. An earlier volume in the series on literature and language, called The Flow of Consciousness, was published in 2010, and the second volume in the series on art, called The Unmanifest Canvas, is due out this year, 2014. Another book, published in January 2014, called Consciousness is Primary, presents a symposium held at the University with Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam presiding. That symposium explored how pure consciousness is, indeed, primary—the
foundation of life, the cosmos, and all disciplines of knowledge.

Marc Carig tweets that a Mets/Colon union is unlikely:
After Bartolo Colon's agents met with the Mets today, a source says it appears the pitcher likely won't fit within team's price range.
— Marc Carig (@MarcCarig) December 9, 2013
According to Sweeny Murti of WFAN, the Mets had a meeting today with the agent for free agent pitcher Bartolo Colon.
Colon, who turns 41 in May, is likely seeking a one year deal.
Shortly after Murti's tweet, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News had this to say:
I am told Mets likely not serious players for Bartolo Colon. Too pricey.
— Andy Martino (@MartinoNYDN) December 9, 2013
Colon was spectacular last year for Oakland. In 190 innings pitched, Colon posted a 2.65 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. He allowed 193 hits, walked 29, and struck out 117.
Colon has been pretty sturdy and effective since 2011, but there's always a bit of concern with older pitchers, and Colon will turn 41 in May.
However, Colon would be a worthy gamble on a one year deal.
The issue for the Mets, is that Colon will likely cost a significant amount of money. If the Mets dedicate $10 million or so to Colon, they'll be dropping a large chunk of their remaining dollars.

Thanks hon. I will need to change it soon, though. There's like a 99.99999999% chance this is just a blighted ovum.
Thanks though.

My son has been sneezing for the past few weeks and blows his nose constantly. How can I tell if he has allergies or just a lingering cold?
- Michelle
Seasonal allergies and the common cold can be so much alike that it's sometimes hard to tell the two apart. But look closely and you can find clues as to what's going on.
Ask yourself these questions to sleuth out whether or not your child has allergies:
If you suspect your son has an allergy, the only way to tell exactly what he's allergic to is to get an allergy test. This test can be performed on the skin (where an allergen is placed under the skin to check the body's response) or through a blood test.
If your son does have allergies, the doctor will recommend reducing exposure to the allergen and might also suggest an over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription allergy medication to relieve symptoms.
And if you determine that your son has a cold, check with the doctor before giving him OTC cold medicines. There is little-to-no evidence that they work and serious side effects are a risk, especially in younger children. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can be given to relieve fever or pain.

Standing before live news cameras, the governor repeatedly delivered his own hurricane forecasts and dished out the smallest details of how the state was handling disaster preparations. It was as if he wanted to show our federal government and FEMA how proper preparedness could win the day by having the right people and the right resources in all the right places.
But behind the scenes of this public show, Louisiana's plan wasn't perfect. The state Department of Social Services made some FEMA-class blunders. Showers were not in place for evacuees in north Louisiana. The disaster food stamp distribution in Baton Rouge was a disaster, with parents and their children sweating for hours in endless lines.
The governor promised there would be consequences. And in this case, a member of Jindal's cabinet is out. Social Services Secretary Ann Williamson has resigned. We should hold our elected leaders accountable. And, we like the idea that Governor Jindal is ready to hold his administration accountable, especially when lives are endangered.Our governor has certainly benefited from three years of hindsight and three years of intense planning since the debacles of Hurricane Katrina. And, in a hurricane-weary state that is not likely to tolerate more blunders, Governor Jindal is acting quickly to improve the performance of his administration.

Ford to hire 800 workers in Michigan
The company is also launching a recruiting campaign focused on social media to reach people who might not have considered working for an automaker.
The industry that built Detroit may give it another boost soon.
Ford Motor Company (F) has announced it will hire 800 white-collar salaried workers, CNBC's Phil LeBeau reported Tuesday. Most of the positions will be at Ford headquarters in Dearborn, Mich., which neighbors Detroit.
Most of the new employees will work in vehicle development, LeBeau said.
"Ford is expanding its vehicle development work in Michigan even though a lot of this work is going to be applied around the world," he said. "They're going to be focusing on next-generation technologies."
Ford and other automakers should not suffer a "hangover effect" in terms of recruiting after the economic troubles in Detroit, LeBeau said. The city filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection last week, the biggest municipal bankruptcy in history. Detroit's unemployment rate is 16.3%.
"Those companies are so strong and the pool of talent is so great in Detroit area when it comes to the auto industry they should be OK," he said.
The company's size has fluctuated significantly since chief executive Alan Mulally took over in September 2006. It had 264,000 employees worldwide that year and, according to LeBeau, was "really a bloated company."
Ford shut down brands and shrunk to 158,000 employees in 2009. It has since grown about 10.7% to 175,000 employees in 2013.
Ford is launching a recruiting campaign focused primarily on such social-media sites as Facebook and Twitter, LeBeau said. Its goal is to reach people who historically have not thought about working for an automaker.
CNBC's Kelly Evans asked whether Ford could do something for Detroit. LeBeau said the company would likely answer that it already does.
"It's not like they're going to move right downtown," LeBeau said. "Dearborn has been their home right from the beginning. So I think their answer is, 'We do something for the greater Detroit area.'"
LeBeau called Tuesday "a big day for Ford." He also noted that the company will give its second-quarter earnings report Wednesday morning. "A big part of that will be the growth in North America," he added.
LeBeau said to look for huge numbers -- around $2.3 billion -- when it comes to profitability in North America.

[BRIEFING.COM] The stock market began the new week on a cautious note. The S&P 500 lost 0.3%, but managed to erase more than half of its opening decline. Thanks to the rebound, the benchmark index reclaimed its 50-day moving average (1976.78) after slipping below that level in the morning.

'Sex and the City' revisited
Carrie and the girls indulge in the good life like never before in the new movie. Are they still relevant?
With all the focus on fashion and excess that seems to be the hallmark of "Sex and the City 2," will we still have a soft spot in our heart for the girls? Will we like this film? (Not to mention that the insufferably self-righteous Aidan returns.)
Fashion writer Nadine Jolie summed up our thoughts beautifully:
What with multimillion-dollar apartments and Vogue spreads and now couture in the desert, Carrie is no longer one of us. It's a beautiful fantasy, to be sure, but no longer has even the slightest footing in reality. . . .
In case you've missed the news, "Sex in the City 2" has opened in theaters across the nation. Our "girls," now in their 40-plus years, leave the recession-bitten U.S. for a free trip to luxurious Abu Dhabi, where their hugely expensive stilettos challenge desert sands.
The reviews haven't been great. Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly wrote: "The experience of listening to the girls complain about their fairy-tale lives from the comfort of an all-expenses-paid luxury vacation in the Arabian desert may leave a viewer feeling by turns nostalgic, disoriented and impatient."
A lot of us are frugal now. But we also wonder: Were they ever really one of us? Were they role models for us: compulsive Carrie addicted to shopping at Manhattan's highest-price boutiques; sweet, preppy Charlotte feeling entitled to a high-class life; Samantha with those broad shoulders a linebacker would love (and probably did)? The only character who made sense to us was practical Miranda, now settled in Brooklyn with her family. Not that we'd want to be her either.
The TV show defied reality in many ways. Could Carrie really have afforded all those shoes before she married Big? We ask that at risk of violating The Frisky's official ban on 10 overused conversations about "SATC," including this one: "Their lives aren't realistic because no one has a one-bedroom apartment like that/newspaper columnists couldn't afford to buy even one pair of Manolo Blahniks, etc."
Still, Jo Piazza writes at PopEater, "We could have been like them. They were a version of us with cooler jobs and a seemingly endless capacity to wear 4-inch heels, but we could aspiringly relate to them. But now, things are different."
Lukewarm reviews won't stop fans from flocking to see the film. That's because "SATC" is ingrained in our lives.
The TV show inspired blogs like The Budgeting Babe, "a website dedicated to all the young working women who want to spend like Carrie in a Jimmy Choo store but have a budget closer to Roseanne." That blog is now in hiatus, but you can still read Carrie . . . on the Cheap. (For you contrarians, the antithesis of the "must find a man" theme in the show is expressed in "Celibacy in the city.")
The Well-Heeled Blog warned readers about one of Ms. Bradshaw's excesses:
When Carrie realizes that she's spent $40,000 on shoes but could not secure a loan on her own to buy out her share of the co-op after she breaks up with Aidan.
Personal finance lesson for the gals -- don't become the Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe. Manolos can't fund a retirement.
"SATC" -- frugally
Some who see the disconnect between the latest incarnation of the girls and the rest of us offer some solutions: You can dress like them even if you aren't rich. A New York Times story says you can get shoes that closely resemble the $800 high heels that torture -- um, grace -- Carrie's feet for a mere fraction of that cost. Likewise, a frock that resembles Carrie's white cocktail dress is available at Dillard's for $49.
Also, Stephanie Rosenbloom writes at the Times, "Some of the clothes in the film are less costly than you may think." You can buy the scarf Samantha wears in the desert for $120 at the boutique owned by "SATC" costume designer Patricia Field. Charlotte's cute apron is actually pretty cheap.
Meanwhile, the National Post offers a delightful recap of events in the girls' pre-movie days -- and offers frugal alternatives. For example: If you can't afford dinner at Il Cantinori, the scene of Carrie's 35th birthday party, where pasta dishes average $22, you can try the highly rated Sinfonia Di Pasta, where an entire meal costs $22.95.
Sure, it was just a TV show, and now our fictional characters are living the big-screen life, where the power of marketing is on full-blown display. Thanks to the money to be made from product placement, Carrie has even given up her old Mac for an HP laptop.
"After all, even Carrie Bradshaw has to make some concessions in a rebuilding economy. If the worst thing that has to happen is that a Mac gets replaced with a very attractive Windows 7 laptop, so be it," wrote Christina Warren at Mashable.
Funny. I expect I'll enjoy "SATC2." It's a movie, not a prescription for life.
How much did "Sex and the City" affect your outlook? Are the girls still cool, or is such unabashed materialism totally out of fashion?

FOX 32's Jake Hamilton had the latest in entertainment news on Good Day Chicago Monday morning. Hollywood lost three legends this weekend – Peter O'Toole, Tom Laughlin and Joan Fontaine.
The great Peter O'Toole, one of the greatest actors of his - or any – generation, passed away on Saturday on London. The British actor, best known for his career-defining title role in "Lawrence of Arabia," was 81 years old.
Academy Award winner Joan Fontaine, best known for her roles in the classic Alfred Hitchcock films "Rebecca" and "Suspicion" was one of this generation's last links to the golden age of Hollywood. Actor, writer and director Tom Laughlin was the man behind the popular "Billy Jack" films.
On a lighter note, "The Hangover" and "The Office" star Ed Helms taking over the 80's. Just call him Mr. Reboot.
Helms is slated to take over the Leslie Nielsen role of Frank Drebin in Paramount's new vision of "The Naked Gun" films. Helms was in talks earlier this year to take over the lead role in the "Vacation" series from Chevy Chase, but has apparently put that on hold to tackle the rest of the 80's first.
Forget the bullets, forget the women, forget the danger. A report released by the British Medical Journal states that James Bond will probably die due to alcohol-related causes.
The authors of the study analyzed all 14 of the original Ian Flemming novels - none of the films - and concluded that Bond's weekly alcohol intake totaled about 92 units per week. The researchers project that bond could die around the age of 56 due to his drinking.
Get ready to return to Pandora at least three more times - and prepare for it to look suspiciously like Middle Earth.
Director James Cameron, the self-proclaimed "king of the world," has announced that he will shoot his three "Avatar" sequels in New Zealand. This is the same country where Peter Jackson shot his "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" films.
New Zealand's government agreed to a 25% tax rebate on the production, which means the country will pay for one quarter of the film. "Avatar" is, to date, the highest grossing film in history.
Lindsay Lohan is reportedly writing a tell-all book about her life. According to TMZ, Lohan wrote several journal entries as part of her therapy in rehab earlier this year, and hopes to turn those into a novel.
The book will explore everything from her substance abuses, run-ins with the law and her family. Reports also say she has received a six-figure deal for the novel.
In a world where Hollywood would rather reboot and remake old films rather than come up with new ones, a new "Terminator" is on the way - and it has found its new Sarah Conner.
Emilia Clarke is best known for her role as Danyeris Targarian on the HBO series "Game of Thrones." She will, of course, be taking over the role made famous by Linda Hamilton.
Reports also say Arnold Schwarzenegger will return as the Terminator.

Model Number: T5K758
The classic Timex Ironman 30-Lap Watch...rooted in tradition and built to last, this timepiece has become an icon in the running community. With a 30-Lap memory and the handy INDIGLO® night-light feature, this simple-to-use watch is all about superior function. The Oversize version is at-home on larger wrists or those who like the bold style.
Important Shipping Note: U.S. sales only.
Comments: The strap feels very comfortable and soft to the touch. I have a different Timex Ironman watch and it has the Flick technology, however, this model lacks that feature. The main reason why I bought this was the color of the strap, yellow. Like all watches, it keeps time. From: Allan, Toms River, NJ, USA
