CLEVELAND, Ohio – Presenting the songs of 1999 that made you laugh, cry and put you in the mood:
Monica – "Angel of Mine"
This song starts out just like Backstreet Boys' "All I Have," which isn't necessarily a bad thing; just a really unimportant fact that I can't shake from my brain. Also, I miss Monica.
Sixpence None the Richer – "Kiss Me"
I can't listen to this song without picturing the stairs scene from "She's All That."
Deborah Cox – "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here"
"How did you get here? Nobody's supposed to be here?" Is she hallucinating? Oh wait, it's about love. Very clever.
Goo Goo Dolls – "Slide"
I'm originally from Upstate New York. The Goo Dolls, from Buffalo, were huge in the area throughout the 1990s. I love this song, but I've always wanted to answer Johnny Rzeznik's question – "Why don't you slide?"
Most obvious answers:
- Because jumping or gliding is much more fun.
- Has the thing I'm sliding on been properly sterilized?
- How do I know someone will be there to catch me?
- Potential grass stains
Brandy – "Have You Ever"
I feel like question-driven songs were popular in the 1990s. I count 28 in this song alone (counting repeat hooks).
Backstreet Boys – "I Want It That Way"
My wife is going to kill me, because she's obsessed with Justin Timberlake, but this is the greatest boy band song of the "Total Request Live" era. Better than anything from 'N Sync or 98 Degrees. Let me tell you why. "I Want It That Way" has everything. There are the flawless ad libs (Thank you A.J. McLean), the elegant hand gestures from the music video, a beautiful catch phrase you couldn't get our of your head and Kevin Richardson actually singing. Who knew?
R. Kelly and Celine Dion – "I'm Your Angel"
I'm going to guess that Celine Dion had no idea about R. Kelly's sex tape (all the legal drama began in 1998) before agreeing to record the song.
TLC – "Unpretty"
I'm not sure what was the more inspirational song: "Unpretty" or "No Scrubs." Oh, who am I kidding? "No Scrubs" all the way.
98 Degrees – "The Hardest Thing"
There was no one I felt more sorry for during the late 1990s/early 2000s than Nick Lachey. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. This song features Lachey singing about the difficulties of breaking up with someone you care about. Karma can be cruel.
'N Sync – "(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You"
The last single from 'N Sync's debut album. And the first time they finally shoved JC Chasez aside, letting Timberlake take the lead. What took them so long?
Savage Garden – "I Knew I Loved You"
This is has to be the most emo group of the last 15 years with song titles like "To the Moon and Back" and "Truly Madly Deeply." How many people had "I Knew I Loved You" as their wedding song in 1999 or 2000? How many regret it?
Shawn Mullins – "Lullaby"
I know lullabies are supposed to be simple, but, "Everything's gonna be alright, rockabye?" You gotta try harder than that.
Tai Bachman – "She's So High"
Before even checking, I just assume any song that sounds like this was featured on an episode of "Dawson's Creek."
Lauryn Hill – "Ex-Factor"
This is so good. Lauryn Hill could do no wrong for a while there. Now, not so much.
Sarah McLachlan – "I Will Remember You"
Cue the sad puppy and kitten faces.
Brian McKnight – "Back at One"
Brian McKnight is an amazing songwriter, but I have a problem with his countdown:
- You're like a dream come true
- Just wanna be with you
- Girl, it's plain to see that you're the only one for me
- Repeat steps one through three
Repeat steps one through three? You're setting the bar a little high for the rest of us there, Brian. Also, steps one through three aren't really actions, so why would you repeat them? Oh, whatever. I'm more of an "Anytime" kind of guy.
Jessica Simpson – "I Wanna Love You Forever"
Poor Nick Lachey.
Britney Spears – "Sometimes"
According to the lyrics, "sometimes" Britney runs. "Sometimes" she hides. "Sometimes" she's scared of you. None of that seemed true when she was dancing around in a schoolgirl out fit. Two years later she released "I'm a Slave 4 U" and all was forgiven.
Enrique Iglesias – "Bailamos"
In 1999, I based my life around anything Enrique Iglesias told me to do in songs. So the rhythm took me over a number of times. Also, this song was apparently on the "Wild Wild West" soundtrack. Um...
Blessed Union of Souls – "Hey Leonardo"
This still sounds amazing and remains an inspirational track for ugly dudes, with no charisma, everywhere.
K-Ci & JoJo – "Tell Me It's Real"
Speaking of ugly dudes.
Edwin McCain – "I Could Not Ask For More"
Edwin McCain's career faded as his hair got shorter, but don't sleep on his other top-40 single. You could make the argument this is better than "I'll Be." Okay, maybe you can't.
Shania Twain – "From This Moment"
Let's think back to just how huge Shania Twain was in the late 1990s. No one before or since in country music (not even Taylor Swift) has sold records like Shania. She's got more silver and diamond albums than Eminem. She had a string of hits in 1998 and 1999. I chose "From This Moment On," because the video for "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" would have distracted me too much at work.
Jewel – "Hands"
News flash: Jewel has small hands and they're not yours. Got that?
112 – "Anywhere"
Few R&B groups made better sex songs than 112. However, the group was a bit short sighted when it came to making their music timeless. It's hard for a song to hold up over time when it features a reference to a waterbed and a verse from some rapper named Zane who raps about "doing it" in a Black 500. Is he talking about a Fiat 500? It's the only thing that shows up in a Google search?

Child: Care, Health and Development, vol. 27, 2001, p. 263-278
Slovenia has succeeded in retaining most of its advantages and achievements in pre-school child care from the socialist period, while successfully reforming services according to the principles of the market economy. Slovenian mothers tend to work full time. Child care facilities, 70% of which were constructed 1971-1985, are sufficient for almost 60% of the pre-school population. Very little demand remains unmet. Child care services are highly subsidised, with parents on average paying about 25% of the costs.
M. K. Meyers et al
Social Service Review, vol. 75, 2001, p. 29-59
Using microsimulation to estimate the impact of welfare reform in New York, authors find that five years after federal and state reforms, childcare use and costs will rise substantially and families will bear most of these costs. When family incomes are adjusted for childcare costs, most single-mother families in the US will continue to be poor even with greater earnings, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and food stamps. The distribution of childcare costs between government and families, and the implications for poverty, will depend on the extent to which government subsidizes the childcare costs of single mothers.
J. S. Ernst
International Social Work, vol. 44, 2001, p. 163-178
New Zealand's experiences offer a unique perspective on two issues that arise in child welfare policy and practice in other Western countries. The 1989 Children, Young Persons and their Families Act gives extraordinary recognition to the importance of cultural identity in handling matters relating to the protection and placement of children who come into contact with the child welfare system. The 1989 Act embraces Maori understandings of kinship, which encompasses more than the extended family to include a child's tribal links. It promotes increased family involvement and autonomy through the Family Group Conference which is based on the Maori family meeting. New Zealand's ideal is that child welfare is a private, rather than a state-directed venture. The 1989 Act requires a child's extended family to decide if a problem exists and to formulate a plan to solve it.

Planned mentoring programmes have flourished as one possible solution to the problems affecting youth in the US. Study examined the impact of mentoring on the academic achievement of at-risk youth involved in Big Brothers/Big Sisters. Academic achievement tests were individually administered to 12 boys in the treatment group (i.e. had a mentor) and 13 boys in a control group (i.e. were on the waiting list to receive a mentor) pre- and post-test over a nine month period. Results showed that boys with a mentor made significantly higher academic gains than the control group.

The Saginaw News
Story originally appeared on MLive.com on Nov. 18
Fears of noise pollution, heavy traffic, a large water tower and lost farmland are among concerns some Thomas Township residents cited in telling township planners they don't want a solar cell making plant built next to their neighborhood.
SN: In the shorthand of local politics, NIMBY – "Not in my backyard." Even the most positive community enhancement has to be put somewhere, and most folks don't want their view spoiled or a parade of cars and people crowding their space.
More than 25 people attended the Thomas Township Planning Commission meeting Wednesday for a public hearing about rezoning the area of M-52 and M-46 as the possible site for the plant. Many in attendance spoke against the rezoning; planners received a petition signed by 36 residents opposing the rezoning.
Commissioners voted to recommend rezoning the property, saying the move would benefit the township long-term.
SN: This is public officials, discharging their duties in the best possible manner. The fact is — and the township zoning commission should be commended for recognizing their role — that the Suniva matter is about using the rules to win the game. It's not about changing the rules.
Saginaw Future Inc. officials have been in talks with the Georgia-based company Suniva Inc. to build on 40 acres in the proposed 235-acre property, said Saginaw Future Inc. President JoAnn T. Crary, who attended the meeting.
Suniva could invest $250 million in a solar cell making plant and create up to 500 jobs within five years in the township.
Crary told the crowd that Suniva jobs would be well-paid positions with benefits, and that the area would be "very blessed to have (Suniva) in this region."
Given the state of the local economy and the loss of jobs in this region since 2001, "it is an incentive to have the company choose Thomas Township," she said, adding that the deal is contingent on Suniva securing a loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy.
SN: This is the dog that's pulling the sled of public policy these days. That is, emerging industries that promise employment and a replacement of the withering legacy tax base of the auto giants and other heavy manufacturing. We are blessed in this region to have Dow Corning, Dow Chemical and Hemlock Semiconductor pouring billions of dollars into green and renewable energy projects that, while feeding off an emerging green economy, also have their roots in manufacturing. Those still are mortgage-paying jobs.
Thomas Township residents and farmers Annie and Joseph James live in the neighborhood near the proposed plant site and led the petition against rezoning the property. Both addressed the board during the hearing.
Annie James, who is a business owner and farms blueberries, said she is concerned about the future of farming and how a plant could effect the rural, "country charm" of their neighborhood. Many residents who spoke at the meeting, including Sandy Rose, moved to the township because of the rural, quiet environment. Rose, who lives near the proposed site, said the plant would be in her front yard.
SN: Shorthand amended: In Rose's case, this is a matter of NIMFY.
"We moved out of the city to be in the country. We wanted to retire here," she said. "We love the look now. We don't want that replaced with something high tech. We need to hang on to our country, and we're losing it."
Joseph James asked about loss of property values, other industrial sites in Saginaw County, noise pollution and traffic. Commission members did not answer, adding that they were there to vote on rezoning.
SN: Mrs. Rose and Mr. James make valid points. Michigan has done a poor job of managing sprawl, and urban areas that are best suited for industry and traffic have been bled and abandoned by commerce and residents alike, fleeing city taxes, brownfield costs and congestion.
This has been a slow, haphazard process in Michigan, the result of a lack of long-term planning and the absence of an intentional system of incentives and sanctions attached to zoning and development issues.
But that's not going to get fixed in the near term, and Thomas Township need not be ground zero for a revolution in urban planning, no matter how worthy or overdue.
In Michigan and across a suffering country, this is a critical contest for survival and growth. While some of Thomas Township's rural character may be frayed by the outcome, clearing the way for the jobs of the future is, ultimately, about guaranteeing a secure future for the quality of life that township residents have come to expect and demand.

Derek Walcott was born in St Lucia, in the West Indies in 1930. A successful playwright as well as poet, he co-founded the Trinidad Theatre Workshop in 1950 with his brother. He was Professor of Creative Writing at Boston University, where he first befriended Seamus Heaney. Like his close friend, he also won the Nobel Prize for literature (in 1992.) In recent times, he has been Professor of Poetry at the University of Essex.
Walcott's epic poem, Omeros, appeared in 1990 to widespread praise, and depicted a fishing war in the Caribbean, with a colourful cast of characters based on The Iliad and The Odyssey.(It is, however, not included here, due to length.)
Throughout his work, the poet draws instinctively and with striking erudition on the contrasting cultures of his mixed Caribbean and European background. He collaborated with Paul Simon on Simon's ill-fated 1998 musical, The Capeman, which dealt with Puerto Rican culture in New York, where Walcott has lived.
Classically educated and raised in a Methodist family, his strictly-ordered poems make frequent reference to the literature of Greece and Rome. Many of the poems are steeped in European painting. The zestful and vivid long poem, Tiepolo's Hound (2000) references the Venetian Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696–1770) arguably the European painter of the eighteenth century. Walcott is a painter himself, mostly in water colours. His father was also a painter and poet who died at the cruelly early age of 31, following an ear infection.
Much of Walcott 's verse explores colonial and post-colonial themes, and his language frequently employs Caribbean patois. He published his first poem in a local newspaper at 14 years of age and five years later, he borrowed 200 dollars from his mother to produce his debut collection, 25 Poems, some of whose poems are included here. He sold that collection on street corners in Sant Lucia. His mother, Alix, was a teacher, of Dutch descent, who recited poetry around the house. She was extremely supportive of her son in his early painting and literary careers. She earned some fine poems in her honour following her passing.
Tiepolo's Hound can be quiet and reflective, but much of Walcott's poetry is exuberantly romantic, thriving on rich, luxuriant images of the sea and nature, his natural Caribbean milieu. The poet's recent White Egrets collection, published in 2010, confronts mortality and loss with wistful, elegaic grace. In the book, the elderly Walcott wanders through Italy, including Sicily, as correspondences and recognitions waft into view. This 600-page selection has been chosen by fellow poet and friend, Glyn Maxwell.
So much rain, so much life like the swollen sky
of this black August. My sister, the sun,
broods in her yellow room and won't come out.
Everything goes to hell; the mountains fume
like a kettle, rivers overrun; still,
she will not rise and turn off the rain. (Dark August)

By Clara Mae Wells; Edited by Jade Coleman, Tiffany Baptiste
[HAMMOND] – Erica Bartolina pole vaulted in the 2008 Summer Olympics and hopes to represent the United States again in the 2012 Summer Olympics, but a few obstacles stand in the way on her road to London, England.
Bartolina experienced a huge setback after the greatest year of her career. Following a plateau in her performance due to injuries, she bettered her personal best of 14 feet 5.25 inches by nearly six inches with a vault of 14 feet 11 inches to make the U.S. team and compete in Beijing. That was last year. This year she can't jump at all.
Before her first indoor meet last February, Bartolina injured the posterior tibial tendon in her right foot during practice. It's the tendon that runs down the inside of the leg and into the arch. "I was halfway down the runway and just felt a little clench," she said. "You know one of those things when you didn't think it was any big deal, and it turned out to be one of the biggest deals ever."
After getting treatment from a trainer and unsuccessfully trying to vault, Bartolina visited an orthopedist. He put her in a walking boot with orthotics for four weeks, and she had to limit movement on her foot for three additional weeks. Recovery took longer than she initially thought. The injury ended her indoor season.
The outdoor season was still in sight though. She planned to compete in the World Outdoor Championships in Berlin in August, but in May when she attempted to restart training and use her foot, Bartolina realized the healing process had just begun. Her foot would get swollen and stay that way if she did too much on it. Any activity had to be done gradually.
"If I can't go out and be good, there's no sense in me going out and jumping," she said. So she decided she wouldn't compete at all this year. While it was a hard decision to make, she did not want to underperform.
Since then her foot has gotten stronger. She will have it assessed by a foot specialist soon and possibly get more supportive training orthotics. It's no longer injured, but there could be damage if she isn't careful. Bartolina continues to ice her foot and get treatment, but currently most of the work to strengthen her foot is done during training.
Now her goals are directed toward the 2011 World Outdoor Championships in Korea and the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Her target height is 15 feet 5 inches. That six-inch improvement on her personal best would put her in position to medal in those meets. But that is in the distant future.
Bartolina has no mark this season. Next year she wants to get back to where she was last year at 14 feet 11 inches. This will be difficult. Staying healthy and judging how far she can or cannot go on her foot only makes it more difficult.
Her first goal is to place in the top two in the U.S. National Indoor Championships in February to qualify for the World Indoor Championships in Doha, Qatar in March. Accomplishing this would make all her other goals a lot easier to achieve, like placing in the top three again in the National Outdoor Championships. "That would really make me feel like I'm back in it, I'm good to go and I'm going to go compete with the best," Bartolina said.
She also wants to vault high enough indoors to get invited to the big outdoor meets. That way she'll have the chance to accumulate points and have a shot at making it to the World Athletics Final. Cities are still bidding to host the meet, but the top eight or nine scorers from each event in the big meets are invited.
Accomplishing these goals will take consistency, another one of Bartolina's objectives. "I'd love to go out and not have a meet below 14'6 next year. That would be awesome to me. That would really make me feel like I'm one of those top few, but we'll see how it goes."

Today, June 28, the actor John Cusack turns 47. And yet, it seems like only yesterday that with a single overhead boombox press, he stamped the image of himself, in a trench coat and Clash T-shirt, indelibly into the minds of a generation of women as the perfect, antiheroic romantic ideal.
Several years ago, by the way, Cusack was in New Orleans filming a movie and visited the bar Monaghan's Erin Rose in the French Quarter. A woman I knew was using the bathroom when he tried the door. Annoyed, she shouted that it was occupied. He left before she emerged, and despite the assurances of all patrons, refused to believe it was he. It's hard to blame her – few ladies of my generation would not be crushed to learn they had only been inches from Lloyd Dobler and not met him in the flesh.
Let's hope that at 47, Mr. Dobler – if he were real – wouldn't be selling anything bought or processed, processing anything sold or bought, and so on.

HILLSBORO -- Five years without a girls soccer state title qualified as a monumental drought for Catlin Gabel, which won 12 championships in 13 seasons from 1992 to 2004.
So when the Eagles arrived at Liberty High School on Saturday morning to play St. Mary's of Medford in the OSAA Class 3A/2A/1A final, junior Taylor Smith brought out last year's runner-up medal and had a message for her teammates.
"She said, 'I've been hiding this in my room for a year, and I don't want to look at it,'" senior co-captain Leah Thompson said. "She said, 'This year I want to have something that I'm proud of.'"
Smith and senior Alex Henry scored goals and Catlin Gabel (14-2-3) of Southwest Portland reclaimed its perch atop the small-school division with a 2-0 win over the Crusaders (15-1-1).
The title was a long time coming not only for the players, but also for coach Mark Lawton, who took over in 2005 for longtime coach Brian Gant.
"It's like a monkey off my back," Lawton said. "My first two years were kind of the dark days. Brian retired and we lost 10 seniors. But these guys came in as freshmen, and that's when it turned around."
The team has seven seniors, including co-captain Nina Greenebaum, whose sister Susie was a member of the last title team, in 2004.
"When I was a freshman, our coach said to us, 'This is a four-year project,'" Greenebaum said. "I'm just so proud of the team as a whole, to get it back for ourselves and get it back for our school."
Said Thompson: "It's something we've been talking about since we were freshmen, that we need to bring back Catlin soccer."
Catlin Gabel, which returned all but two starters from a team that lost to Gladstone in the 2009 final, controlled play from the start. Smith, the District 1 player of the year, and Henry dominated the midfield and applied constant pressure.
The Eagles broke through on a corner kick in the 13th minute. Greenebaum sent the ball to the far post to Henry, who headed it high over the head of senior goalkeeper Gina Barbieri and into the goal for a 1-0 lead.
Catlin Gabel made it 2-0 in the 54th minute off a corner kick by junior Cammy Edwards. The ball deflected back to Smith, whose shot from about 10 yards hit the bottom of the crossbar and bounced into the goal.
St. Mary's was looking for senior forward Mackenzie Krieser, the two-time district player of the year who entered with a team-high 29 goals, but she was kept under surveillance by sophomore defender Zoe Schlanger.
With Catlin Gabel dictating play in the midfield, the Crusaders were unable to mount an attack.
"I think we abandoned our game a little bit today," Krieser said. "We didn't do what we're known for, which is speed of play and passing it around. I think we buckled under the conditions, it being faster and slipperier."
It was the first season for the girls Class 3A/2A/1A division, which dropped Class 4A this year and shrunk from 63 to 25 teams. Lawton had mixed feelings.
"Our league was actually stronger than in previous years," he said, "but the playoffs are less challenging. Like, this was our first real challenge."
Catlin Gabel's only losses were to Class 5A Cleveland and Class 4A Philomath.

BRIDGETON — A rash of apparent thefts of manhole covers and sewer grates on several roads in the county has created what officials call an imminent threat to safety.
County Director of Public Works Don Olbrich on Wednesday said four sewer grates were reported missing recently on roads in the western part of the county, but all four have been replaced.
Millville has seen seven manhole covers or sewer grates go missing recently, said Dale Finch, a city commissioner and head of public works there.
Finch said he was unsure Wednesday afternoon of how many were manhole covers and how many were grates, but he said those apparent thefts seem to have occurred within about the past week.
The city has five of the seven needed implements in stock, Finch said. Officials have priced the two that are needed at about $250 to $300 each, he added, and the still-uncovered manholes or catch basins have been marked for safety.
Three of the four grates to which Olbrich referred were missing from areas of Fairton-Millville Road. Two of those were east of Buckshutem Road, on the Millville side, and one to the west, on the Fairton side, he said.
The other missing grate was on Nabb Avenue, off Route 49.
Olbrich explained that the grates weigh roughly 200 pounds each, and neither removing nor replacing them is a simple task.
Each also costs about $191, Olbrich said. He added that all but one of the grates were replaced during regular county public works hours. But one cost the county about $250 to $300 in overtime pay, he said.
"They're not something you send two guys out to replace," Olbrich explained. "But the county will immediately replace any such missing grates."
He went on to say that he is paid a straight salary, and the county is not charged for additional hours he may work.
He said a contractor involved in road work on Fairton-Millville Road had recently discovered a missing grate there. Olbrich said he went to the site, contacted state police and stayed there until the grate was replaced about an hour later.
He and county Freeholder Nelson Thompson, who is also chairman of the county Department of Public Works, said they're concerned that the apparent thefts have created the risk of serious injury or even death.
Both say they suspect people are stealing them to sell them as scrap metal.
"What a dangerous game to play," Thompson said, "even if people are trying to make some money."
He mentioned cars, motorcycles or children on bikes as potential victims of nasty accidents.
"You always hear about kids getting curious and falling into wells and that sort of thing," Thompson suggested.
Uncovered manholes wouldn't be a far cry from an open well.
"When one of these (covers) comes off, it's probably a seven-foot drop," Olbrich explained.
Olbrich said anyone who discovers a missing cover or grate should call 911 to report it.
Thompson said police are investigating the incidents. He mentioned possibly starting a county hotline to report them, as well as perhaps adding latches of some sort to help deter thefts.
Thompson also suggested neighborhood watches as a potential deterrent. In any case, he said the Freeholders will meet on the subject.
"I think we're going to come up with something soon," he said.
Both Olbrich and Finch said similar problems have arisen in the past, but they knew of no such rashes recently until now.
"There hasn't really been a problem with it for six years or so," Olbrich said.

Healthcare Foundation settles into new office
The Enumclaw Regional Healthcare Foundation, formerly the Enumclaw Hospital Foundation, has moved its offices from the hospital to 1174 Myrtle Ave. in downtown Enumclaw. The Foundation's move emphasizes it's expanded mission to help local organizations provide for all types of healthcare needs in Enumclaw and the surrounding communities. This office location outside the walls of the hospital shows the Foundation's desire to break away from the perception that it solely helps the hospital and not other healthcare needs in the community.
The nonprofit foundation has had an office inside the Enumclaw hospital since its inception in 1982. Then it was simply known as the Enumclaw Hospital Foundation. In 2006, what was formerly known as the Enumclaw Hospital Foundation, saw its role expanding to include different kinds of healthcare needs. The Foundation Board of Directors realized there were more healthcare problems that needed to be addressed outside of solely supporting the community hospital. The name was changed to the Enumclaw Regional Healthcare Foundation (ERHF) to reflect a new vision and direction. This vision became prophetic as the hospital was later sold to the Franciscan Healthcare System. The two events have allowed the Foundation to branch out in helping other local healthcare initiatives. The hospital under new ownership had the capabilities to build a beautiful, state of the art new hospital which is nearly finished.
Even with the expanded mission of the Healthcare Foundation, ERHF's continued support of the hospital is evident with the recent donation of $496,000 toward a digital mammography machine to increase the early detection of breast cancer and a $600,000 donation toward the hospital building fund to aid construction. Supporters of the hospital can still utilize the ERHF to make tax deductible donations toward construction, equipment and programs in person, by phone at 360-802-3206 or on line at www.enumclawrhf.org

A 20-year-old man Jersey City man has been charged with using minors to commit a violent robbery which sent a 49-year-old man to the Jersey City Medical Center for treatment this morning, officials said.
Kevin Mack of Wegman Parkway made his first court appearance today on the charges of robbery, employing a juvenile to commit a crime and resisting arrest, the criminal complaint says.
Officers were conducting surveillance on the 500 block of Bergen Avenue at about 1 a.m. when they saw one male take a position as lookout and the other three approach the victim, who was sitting on a porch, a police report says.
King and two others began punching the man and pulling at his pockets with such force that his body was lifted off the ground, the report says. Officers closed in on the four and arrested Mack, who was hiding behind a car and tossed the victim's wallet before being taken into custody, the report says.
The officers also arrested two 17-year-old boys who were processed at the police department juvenile bureau and remanded to the Hudson County Youth House in Secaucus, the report says, adding that one male managed to run away.
The victim suffered an injury to his lip and complained of pain throughout his body, the report said.
Mack made his first appearance on the charges in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City via video link from Hudson County jail in Kearny. At the hearing, his bail was set at $40,000 cash or bond. Court officials said he has no prior arrests.

On Thursday, "Rolling Hills Radio with Ken Hardley" will present Jeff Riales and Matt Homan and the Bluegrass Disciples.
Riales is an award-winning singer-songwriter with four albums under his belt. His music has been favorably reviewed by Sing Out! Magazine.

Egypt's vice-president resigns hours before polls close in the second round of a referendum over controversial constitutional reform.
Please wait while this video loads. If it doesn't load after a few seconds you may need to have Adobe Flash installed.
Mahmoud Mekki, announced his resignation on Saturday during the second day of voting, following the first on 15 December, in which the Islamist-drawn up constitution is expected to get the backing of the majority.
The move was in part expected since the new charter would eliminate the vice presidency post. But Mekki hinted that the hurried departure could be linked to Morsi's policies.
"I have realized a while ago that the nature of politics don't suit my professional genesis as a judge," his resignation letter, read on state TV, said. He said he had first submitted his resignation last month but events forced him to stay on.
Egyptians headed to the polls following a first vote on 15 December, to decide whether to approve the document - which was largely formed by members of the Islamic Brotherhood and was the focal point for waves of violent protests in recent weeks.
The first round of votes, covering about half of Egypt's registered voters, resulted in a 57 per cent vote in favour of the new constitution according to unofficial sources - a slim enough vote to buttress opposition complaints that the document is divisive and ignores the rights of groups such as Egypt's Christian community and women.
However, analysts say the second round of votes is likely to yield another "yes" in the referendum as it covers more rural areas of the country are traditionally dominated by Islamist sympathisers.
Opponents to the constitution complained of irregularities in the first round of votes, including that polling stations opened late, Islamists illegally compaigned outside some stations in favour of the constitution, as well as other irregularities such as the listing of at least one dead person.
However, the committee overseeing the two-stage vote said their investigations showed no major irregularities.
Adoption of divisive draft constitution that violates universal values & freedomsis a sure way to institutionalize instability & turmoil.— Mohamed ElBaradei (@ElBaradei) December 15, 2012
Ending instability?
The consitution has been a deeply divisive issue in Egypt, with supporters claiming it is needed in order to end instability in the most populous Islamic nation, following the Arab Spring and the ousting of former president Hosni Mubarak.
"We have to extend our hands to Mursi to help fix the country," said Hisham Kamal, an accountant.
However, concerns have also been raised including by human rights groups, that Egypt's president Mohamed Mursi is pushing through legislation that favours his Islamic allies over minority groups.
"I'm voting 'no' because Egypt can't be ruled by one faction," said Karim Nahas, 35, a stockbroker, heading to a polling station in Giza.
Polling stations opened at 8am (6am GMT) and will close at 7pm (5pm GMT). Unofficial results are likely to emerge within hours of the stations closing.
"More unrest"
If the consitution is approved, it could see further outbreaks of violence and unrest in the country. At least eight people have died in clashes outside Cairo's presidential palace earlier this month.
Ahmed Said, head of the liberal Free Egyptians Party and a member of the National Salvation Front, an opposition coalition, said he can see "more unrest" in the wake of a positive vote for the constitution.
"People are not going to accept the way they are dealing with the situation," he said.
On Friday, Islamists and rivals clashed on in Alexandria, Egypt's second biggest city, hurling stones at each other. Two buses were torched.

Did 2 sets of 3 double leg assisted pullups, and hanging deadweight twice for a couple of seconds. I can feel my shoulders, but it's my hands that need to get stronger!! Still, having my feet off the ground was a great feeling. Might have pulled up by some nano-measurements, too
ETA - I can mostly feel the muscles that run along the tops of my shoulders to my neck - is that where I should be feeling it first?
Started Feb 18 2011
Tried basic primal and almost everything else in pursuit of IBS control, mood stability, and weight loss.
Journalling here

Hey all, sorry I haven't been able to record a video of my gf working pull ups. I surprised her with a bar adn some other workout equipment (push up handles, ab wheel roll out, pull up assistance band, elbow straps to use in ab work or hanging leg raises) and she's stoked and working at her pull ups in the comfort of her own home now while before she always had to do it here. The assistance band is really helping her, she can do positive reps with it now, she's working in sets of 3 and definitely getting stronger. She's working push ups along with pull ups and having a lot of fun with it in general which is awesome.
Paleobird: Since you can do more, DO more, but taper off after. Constant practice is key.
This is a video I recorded on 2/24/11 but I didn't post it because I decided it was probably best to have my gf demo the exercises I wanted to show but since we weren't able to I figure I'll just post this one now then whenever I can do something with her we'll show that here. I hope the video helps.
Edit: Notice the 3:00 mark how I change where my feet are positioned, that makes a difference in the leverage and weight distribution but also makes the movement more closely resemble an actual pull up. The other position was more of an Australian pull up.

Iniquity, thanks so much for that video! I had a total "Aha, I could do that!" moment. My kids have a swing set with rings, add a garden chair and voila! I'll let you know how I go.
My Journal
I now have a pullup bar installed.
And I think I can do that modified one. Maybe.
Will be tried this afternoon.
I need to go back through the thread for all the links to the videos.
Most people don't realize how much energy it takes for me to pretend to be normal.
If I wanted to listen to an asshole, I'd fart.
Twibble's Twibbly Wibbly
Definitely let me know how it goes!
Time to brag!
I'm a CrossFitter, so I do my pullup work at the gym. We have resistance bands for those who don't have unassisted pullups yet. When I started CF in December, I had to use 2 bands -- a green + a red. It didn't take too long for me to get down to one green band.
Yesterday we did this warmup (2 rounds): 10 air squats, 10 pushups, 10 box jumps, 10 pullups, 10 situps,
followed by this WOD ("Daniel"): 50 pullups, 400m run, 21 thrusters (96/65), 800m run, 21 thrusters, 400m run, 50 pullups.
That's a total of 120 pullups, and I did every single one with full extension (straight arms at the bottom to chin over the bar at the top) with one green band.
I think it's time to go down to a lighter band! Woo-hoo!!
I am Cavewoman, hear me GRUNT!
IniQuity, thanks for a great video—not "beyond crappy" at all! It's extremely helpful to me.
I have a question for you regarding progression. Using the front pegs (AKA penis grip, LOL), I can hold in the beginning position for a few seconds, then do a slow, controlled negative from there. Yesterday I tried to do the same thing with my hands in a normal, wide pullup grip, and even with just one foot barely on the chair, I couldn't maintain the initial position for any time. Is there something specific I should be doing in order to achieve that goal?
Again, thanks very much for your help and encouragement.
Another thank you to iniQuity!!!
I am so excited because I thought I was getting woody bands and sadly I cannot afford them till the summer when my job starts.
The bed sheet... I can TOTALLY do that!!!
Sigh... in 2 more weeks...
I'm lurking, cheering you ladies on though!
The more I see the less I know for sure.

Name: Kenpachi Zaraki
Gender: Male
Personality: Although he's known to be a violent fighter, Kenpachi's actions tend to be for the best. He has a very poor sense of direction, at times asking Yachiru for help (even though her sense of direction is just as bad). Kenpachi lives for battle and enjoys a good fight more than anything. He even holds back in an effort to make any fight last longer. He also claims that injury and death are nothing but the price one pays for a good fight. (Just a copy of part of the Bleach Wiki)
History: Look at the Wiki.
Zanpakutō Name: Kenpachi has never known the name of his Zanpakutō, but after his battle with Ichigo, he became resolved to learn it, remembering the pain of not having a name himself. By the time he first went to Hueco Mundo, Kenpachi must have made some form of progress, because during his fight with Nnoitra, the current 5th Espada, he refers to his sword as 'him'.
Zanpakutō Description: The blade is much longer than that of a standard Zanpakutō, roughly the size of a nodachi with a guard that extends inward from its center similar to a shinai. The hilt is white although most of it is wrapped in bandages, as is his sword's sheath. Zaraki's sword's hilt looks like a cross between a multi-sided diamond and a puffed up shirt sleeve.
Shikai Release Phrase: N/A; Kenpachi's Zanpakutō is in a constant released state.
Shikai Powers: Unknown
Bankai Name: Unknown
Bankai Powers: Unknown
Theme Songs: Immortal by Adema & Indestructible by Disturbed

Staff members at the Women's Wellness Clinic can help you put together a plan for a happy, healthy life after cancer treatment. Here are the building blocks.
- Maintaining good nutrition: Obesity, a high-fat diet, and high alcohol intake may increase your risk for another cancer or a recurrence. Good nutrition is important for healing and also for cancer prevention.
- Managing menopause: Many women who have had breast cancer or a gynecological cancer will not be able to use estrogen replacement therapy for menopause because of questions about its safety for these women. We can help you manage the effects of menopause, which may include hot flashes, osteoporosis, and a higher risk of heart disease.
- Regaining strength and flexibility: You may need physical therapy to regain your strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Exercise can also help you manage lymphedema (swelling that is a common side effect of cancer treatment).
- Taking care of your emotional health: Cancer treatment can cause intense psychological consequences and disruptions in your relationships with family and friends. Common feelings include depression, anxiety, mood swings, and fears of a recurrence or death. These emotions do not automatically go away once treatment is over. We can help you regain your emotional well-being.
- Handling sexual issues: The cancer experience hits many women hard. They may feel less feminine and less sexually attractive after cancer treatment. We can help with the physical, medical, and emotional issues that may be getting in the way of your sexuality.

S.O.S. (Save On Self-Care)
Part 4 in the series "Budget".
It's a frightening trend. When people cut back on checking their blood sugar, taking insulin or seeing their doctor, you know things are serious.1 But this economy has seen a lot of people lose their jobs, income and health insurance—or stuck in the Medicare donut hole—and for many, the need to cut back is a reality.
What can you do if you find yourself tempted to cut back on your diabetes self-care? The first step is to talk to your doctor. He or she can't help you if they don't know what's going on.
In addition, here are 7 more ideas that may help.
- Don't try to save money by skipping necessary blood sugar checks. You may wind up with a few extra dollars per day in your pocket, but your blood sugar can easily get back on the roller coaster. As a result, you're likely to feel pretty lousy and you may wind up testing more in order to get back on track.2 Add a trip to the emergency room, lost days at work and long-term damage to your health, and you haven't come out ahead. The ACCU-CHEK Connect prescription discount card may be able to help.
- While you're at it, see if the manufacturers of any of the other drugs you're on offer patient assistance or discount programs.
- Get the maximum value from the blood sugar checks you perform. Your numbers don't mean anything unless you know how to interpret and act on the results. However, if you use your numbers to improve your blood sugar control, you may be able to save money in the long run by avoiding or minimizing the effects of long-term complications.2
- Ask your doctor about ways to save on prescriptions—for diabetes and other medications. Ask about generic options or combination drugs, free samples and whether you can split pills.3 Perhaps there are older, less expensive brands on the market that will work for you.
- Make the most of your employer-sponsored flexible spending account or cafeteria plan. Chances are, you know what you spend each month on diabetes and other health supplies, so it's unlikely that you'll lose your contribution at the end of the year. Talk to your human resources manager for details.
- Seek out free education. Look into education or incentive programs offered by your insurance carrier or pharmacy. Or visit a health fair or expo sponsored by the American Diabetes Association or local hospital to learn about the latest treatments , get freebies and rebates, and walk away feeling motivated.

Maxis releases the intro video for SimCity
Maxis continues to tease
Maxis are beginning to whip up a city-building frenzy ahead of SimCity's release in March by showing off the game's introduction sequence.
The video gives a taste of everything from the dirty old coal-fired power plant to tourist attractions like casinos to the wonder of a Space Centre.
This intro sequence is taken completely from in-game footage as well showing just how deliciously pretty the new Glassbox game engine actually is.
SimCity launches on Mac and PC on March the 8th.

"My husband received a homemade gift of peanut brittle from his secretary a few years ago," Lois writes. "She left shortly after, and I did not get the recipe. The peanut brittle she made was very good and crumbled in your mouth more easily than any others I have eaten. Much easier on the teeth. Can you or one of your readers help by sharing a recipe?
"Thanks a bunch. I want to get a head start on Xmas goodies. Of course I will consume the brittle as I make it. LOL."
As it happens, I have quite the peanut brittle maker in my family, and his version meets Lois' description. My 31-year-old nephew, Austin Elliott of Tahlequah, Okla., has been creating peanut brittle for the past few years. We all look forward to it. But I never asked him until now: Why peanut brittle?
"It wasn't too easy and it wasn't too complicated," Elliott said. His secrets?
"What I do is take my time. I don't rush the temperatures. That's the only thing I pay extra attention to. I don't know. Maybe it's just dumb luck."
Before he opens the bag of peanuts, he crushes a few of them. And the first time he made brittle, he said, he worried about the weather, but hasn't since. It hasn't been an issue in eastern Oklahoma.
As Marcelle Bienvenu writes in her gift-creation column today, humidity is the enemy of candy-making. The ideal day for making brittle (or pralines or any candy) is clear, cold and dry. Why? I found this on a kitchen science site:
"Cooking candy syrup to the desired temperature means achieving a certain ratio of sugar to moisture in the candy. On a humid day, once the candy has cooled to the point where it is no longer evaporating moisture into the air, it can actually start reabsorbing moisture from the air. This can make the resulting candy softer than it is supposed to be.
"That's why dry days are recommended for candy-making, although the effects of humidity can be somewhat counterbalanced by cooking the candy to the upper end of the appropriate temperature stage.
"Cool weather is also recommended for candy-making, because -- generally -- the faster candy cools, the less chance it has to form unwanted crystals."
And I found this great tip from a reader of Southern Living: "I was once told in a cooking class to check the barometric pressure when making pralines. We were told that if it is 30 or more, proceed. If not, wait for another day. And I have to tell you: It works. I've tried to make them before when the barometric pressure was lower and I just ended up with a sticky mess."
How should those of us without barometers check on the barometric pressure? My colleague just asked the Siri personal assistant on his new iPhone, or, if you have a computer, Google "barometric pressure New Orleans." Or check the latest TV weather forecast.
Austin's Peanut Brittle
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup peanuts
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Grease a large cookie sheet. Set aside.
In a heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil sugar, corn syrup, salt and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in peanuts. Set candy thermometer in place and continue cooking. Stir frequently until temperature reaches 300 degrees (150 degrees C), or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into hard and brittle threads.
Remove from heat; immediately stir in butter and baking soda. Pour at once onto the prepared cookie sheet. With 2 forks, lift and pull peanut mixture into a rectangle about 14x12 inches; cool. Snap candy into pieces.
The darling Giuseppa from the nola.com recipe forum posted this oyster soup recently that is good for the lactose-intolerant. Her version has no milk.
Mama Rosie's Italian Oyster Soup
- 1 (16-ounce) container raw oysters and their liquid (about 3 dozen small oysters)
- Olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, minced
- 3 or 4 green onions, minced (white and green parts)
- 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tender inside rib celery heart, minced
- 1 small can Italian plum tomatoes with basil, chopped
- 1 small can tomato sauce
- Pinch each dried basil and oregano
- 2 or 3 cups water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 5 or 6 vermicelli curls, crushed
- 1/2 cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
- For serving: Grated Romano or Parmesan, crusty Italian bread
Place a fine strainer over a bowl and drain oyster liquid into it. This also strains any sand or small pieces of shell from liquid. Save liquid. Inspect oysters for any remaining shell.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan and saute onions, garlic and celery until translucent. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil and oregano. Saute about 5 minutes. Add oyster liquid and water. Simmer until the vegetables are tender. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add oysters and vermicelli; cook until vermicelli is al dente and edges of oysters curl. About a minute before it is done, add parsley. Do not overcook or oysters will be tough.
Serve in large soup bowls with grated Romano or Parmesan cheese and a good crusty Italian bread.
The American Egg Board shared this recipe for meringues which, yes, are best made on a dry day. Other than that, they're super easy to make, and the recipe has several variations. If you have a pastry bag, use a plain tip to pipe them onto the cookie sheets.
Meringue Kisses
Makes 60
- 4 egg whites, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1-3/4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 cups ground almonds (8 ounces)
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in mixer bowl with whisk attachment on high speed until foamy. Beating constantly, add sugar 2 tablespoons at a time until whites are glossy and stand in stiff peaks. (The tops of peaks do not curl over when the beater is lifted from the meringue.)
Fold in almonds.Drop meringue by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Bake until firm, about 1 hour. Turn off oven. Let dry in oven, with door closed, until cool and crisp, at least 1 hour.
Variations: Use other nuts instead of almonds (walnuts, pistachios or macadamias) or use no nuts at all.
Chocolate Kisses: Omit ground almonds. Beat in 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons vanilla after stiff peaks have formed.
Citrus Kisses: Omit ground almonds. Beat in 2 tablespoons freshly grated orange peel and 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract after stiff peaks have formed. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring, if desired.
Mint-Chocolate Chip Kisses: Omit ground almonds. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring, if desired, after stiff peaks have formed. Fold in 1 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips.
Rocky Road Kisses: Omit ground almonds. Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla after stiff peaks have formed. Fold in 1 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips and 1 cup finely chopped peanuts, pecans or almonds.
Notes: Baking sheets can be lightly greased and floured, if desired. To store, place meringue kisses in tightly sealed container, with waxed paper between layers.
If stored kisses lose their crispness, bake in 200-degree oven 15 to 20 minutes.
My "In Judy's Kitchen" video this week (watch below) is about kicked-up foods, for when the Saints play Detroit on Sunday, with a recipe from our own maestro of the kicked-up, Emeril Lagasse.
The second time I made this, I used the convection feature on my oven, and that is the way to go. Use it if you have it.
Emeril's Oven-Roasted Chicken Wings
Makes 4 to 6 servings
- 4 pounds chicken wings, wing tips removed, separated at the joints
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- Favorite dipping sauce for serving, such as barbecue, ranch or blue cheese dressing
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. (Editor's note: Use convection if you have it.)
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a large mixing bowl, combine wings and lemon juice and mix thoroughly. Add pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Add thyme, crushing it between your fingers. Mix again and add cayenne and butter.
Mix thoroughly, then transfer wings to baking sheet and arrange in one layer. Roast in oven for 10 minutes; rotate pan and cook 10 minutes longer, until wings are nicely browned and cooked through. Serve alone or with your favorite dipping sauce.

NEW ULM - The Martin Luther College women's basketball team ended its tough non-conference schedule on a high note Monday night.
The Knights outscored Iowa Wesleyan by six points in both halves as they went on to defeat the Tigers 55-43.
MLC went into the contest with a 1-9 overall record looking to end a six-game slide before the holiday break.

Martin Luther College's Alex Anthon drives to the net as Karen Orrick of Iowa Wesleyan College defends on the play during the first half Monday at MLC in New Ulm.
Alex Anthon led the Knights with 13 points and five rebounds while Hannah Rothe earned a double-double with 10 points and 10 boards.
Hannah Hackbarth and Brittney Gossen scored 11 and 10 points, respectively, and both of them grabbed five rebounds.
Hackbarth was named Upper Midwest Athletic Conference player of the week last week averaging 18.7 points per game the previous three games while shooting 48 percent from beyond the arc.
Hackbarth shot 3-for-10 from downtown in Monday's game and her first 3-pointer came four minutes in to give the Knights a 10-2 lead early on.
Neither team scored for the next three and a half minutes before IW tacked on two free throws. Hannah Rothe ended MLC's drought with a free throw of her own with 12:26 to go and a lay-up with 7:59 left gave the Knights their biggest lead of the half, 17-8.
Hackbarth and Gossen each added a 3-pointer in the final minutes of the half and the knights took a 28-22 lead heading into the break.
IW pulled within one point with 12:03 left to play and they could never find away to take the lead.
However, the Tigers stuck around and found themselves down by just three points, 43-40 with 3:30 to go before the Knights stepped on the gas and closed the game out on a 12-3 run.
A 3 and consecutive baskets from Anthon quickly increased the lead to 50-40 and erased all chance for a Tiger comeback.
"We've been making progress all along in these tough games and we finally put 40 minutes together defensively tonight," MLC head coach Larry Czer said. "I thought our defense really stepped up - our offense has some glitches to work out. I think our offense was much more patient, we hit five or six three's which really gave us a launch."
MLC will begin UMAC play after the holiday break in Mankato against Bethany Lutheran College.


text: Explore The Nile Valley The Nile Middle Egypt Upper Egypt Share Worshipped from the earliest times as a cow goddess, Hathor acquired manifold attributes – body of the sky, living soul of trees, goddess of gold and turquoise, music and revelry – but remained essentially nurturing. Her greatest role was that of wet nurse and bedmate for Horus, and giver of milk to the living pharaoh. In her human aspect (with bovine ears and horns), the goddess paid an annual visit to Horus at his temple in Edfu. Her barque, escorted by priests and cheered by commoners, proceeded upriver, where Horus sailed out to meet her on his own boat. After much pomp and ritual, the idols were left alone to reconsummate their union while the populace enjoyed a Festival of Drunkenness, which led the Greeks to identify Hathor with their own goddess of love and joy, Aphrodite.

Councils were held at Aix in 1112, 1374, 1409, 1585, 1612, 1838, and 1850. In that of 1612 the Gallican work of Edmund Richer, "De la puissance ecclésiastique et politique" (Paris, 1611), was censured. In that of 1838 the Fathers requested Gregory XVI to add "Immaculate" to the word "Conception" in the preface of the Mass for that feast of the Blessed Virgin, which he did. In the council of 1850 many modern errors were condemned, rationalism, pantheism, communism, also the arbitrary interpretation of the Scriptures.

Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Results tagged ' Tim Byrdak '
Report from Port St. Lucie, 3/29
The Mets did not make their final roster cuts on Thursday, but they may as well have. In reassigning Adam Loewen, Garrett Olson and four others to Minor League camp, the Mets basically committed themselves to Mike Nickeas, Mike Baxter and Daniel Herrera on the Opening Day roster. The only way Herrera will not make it is if fellow left-hander Tim Byrdak is fully healed from knee surgery.
Also: I had a chance to see Chris Young throw off a mound today for the first time since Young reported to camp on a Minor League deal. You can check out a photo from his session below:

Report from Port St. Lucie, 3/12
Looks like colleague Paul Hagen had a busy day filling in for me from Lakeland, Fla. In addition to revealing that Tim Byrdak will undergo left knee surgery and David Wright has received a cortisone shot in his left ribcage, the Mets acknowledged that bullpen catcher Eric Langill was arrested for DUI. Oh, and Lucas Duda hit a grand slam.
In other words, just another day with the Mets.
Follow me on Twitter: @AnthonyDiComo.
Report from Port St. Lucie, 3/11
Those looking for good news may want to close out this window now. The Mets revealed Sunday that David Wright has traveled back to New York for an examination and possible cortisone injection in his left ribcage. Details on his and Tim Byrdak's injuries are available on MLB.com.
Some better news for Mets fans came courtesy Johan Santana, who allowed one unearned run over 2 2/3 innings in his second Grapefruit League start. Strong early, Santana struggled with his control in the third inning but still came away encouraged.
Finally, since the rain prevented me from taking any good shots during the game today, here's a picture of a lizard who found his way into the press room and decided to chill upside-down on a ceiling panel:

Mets' bullpen a strength?
An MLB.com colleague recently asked me to rank the five NL East teams on offense, defense, starting rotation and bullpen heading into the season. Some of the choices were clear-cut: Phillies with the best rotation, for example (duh). Others, not so much.
When I submitted my NL East ballot, I had the Mets ranked highly in two categories: defense (in which I ranked them first), and bullpen. In my opinion, the Braves have the best relief corps in the division, despite the loss of Billy Wagner. After that, I grappled over whether to choose New York or Washington, in the end selecting the Mets because they possess a proven closer and the Nationals — right now, at least — do not.
After I sent in my picks, my colleague and I argued over that choice for quite some time. He pointed to the Marlins, who also revamped their bullpen this winter and look stronger than they did a year ago (in short, he accused me of drinking the blue-and-orange Kool-Aid). I pointed to the fact that the Mets ranked fifth in the league in bullpen ERA last year and arguably only got stronger this offseason, adding important arms such as D.J. Carrasco and Taylor Buchholz. Do I have concerns about the bullpen? Of course — most notably, I don't trust Tim Byrdak to be the lockdown lefty specialist that Pedro Feliciano was in years past. But I feel strongly enough about the group as a whole to rank them ahead of the Nationals, Marlins and Phillies (in that order).
The point is, I felt somewhat vindicated today when I read this story on Fangraphs discussing the relative merits of New York's bullpen. Does that mean the Mets will be great at closing out games this year? Maybe, maybe not — injuries and year-to-year variance always play a significant role in that. But consider that the Mets just left Jason Isringhausen and Manny Acosta — two very useful relievers — off their Opening Day roster. That, if anything, speaks to the strength of this new-look bullpen.
The Mets have problems heading into the season — that much is clear. I just don't think the bullpen (or the defense, for that matter) is one of them.
—–Follow along on Twitter @AnthonyDiComo.
Projecting the Opening Day roster: 2/17
Spring Training has arrived, which means the projections in this space should change more frequently based upon how each player is faring. Already, there has been one relatively significant development, with manager Terry Collins saying he considers Tim Byrdak a "slam dunk" for the bullpen, and noting that he would like to carry a long man in the bullpen. Taking that into account, here's the updated projection:
C – Josh Thole
1B – Ike Davis
2B – Brad Emaus
SS – Jose Reyes
3B – David Wright
OF – Jason Bay
OF – Carlos Beltran
OF – Angel Pagan
Bench – Chin-lung Hu
Bench – Daniel Murphy
Bench – Scott Hairston
Bench – Willie Harris*
Bench – Mike Nickeas
SP – Mike Pelfrey
SP – R.A. Dickey
SP – Jon Niese
SP – Chris Young
SP – Chris Capuano
RP – Francisco Rodriguez
RP – Bobby Parnell
RP – D.J. Carrasco
RP – Tim Byrdak*
RP – Taylor Buchholz
RP – Manny Acosta
RP – Pat Misch
In the running: IF/OF Nick Evans, 2B Luis Castillo, IF Justin Turner, IF Luis Hernandez, OF Lucas Duda, RHP Dillon Gee, LHP Taylor Tankersley*, LHP Mike O'Connor*, LHP Tim Byrdak*, LHP Oliver Perez, LHP Casey Fossum*, RHP Pedro Beato, RHP Ryota Igarashi*, RHP Boof Bonser*, RHP Blaine Boyer*, RHP Manuel Alvarez, RHP Armando Rodriguez.
*Denote non-roster invitee.
Comments: Nickeas makes the Opening Day roster due to the eight games remaining on Ronny Paulino's PED suspension.
Complete list of non-roster invitees
Nearly every pitcher and catcher has reported to camp; the remaining few stragglers (Here's to you, Johan Santana) should arrive Tuesday. But what interests us most here at Mets Cetera are the folks on the fringe — the players who may or may not make the team.
That said, below is a complete list of the non-roster invitees expected in camp. Generally speaking, these players have the steepest routes to roster spots, because in order to keep them, the Mets will need to cut someone else off the 40-man roster.
Boof Bonser, RHP
Blaine Boyer, RH
Tim Byrdak, LHP
Ryota Igarashi, RHP
Mike O'Connor, LHP
Tobi Stoner, RHP
Taylor Tankersley, LHP
Raul Chavez, C
Kai Gronauer, C
Dusty Ryan, C
Russ Adams, INF
Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF
Willie Harris, OF
Jason Pridie, OF
Of the above players, Tankersley, Byrdak and Harris appear to have the strongest chances of making the team.

Projecting the Opening Day roster: 1/27
No major changes to the roster in the past week mean there are no changes to the projection — and it may remain that way until pitchers and catchers report on Feb. 15. Regardless, this is a weekly exercise, and so we press on:
C – Josh Thole
1B – Ike Davis
2B – Brad Emaus
SS – Jose Reyes
3B – David Wright
OF – Jason Bay
OF – Carlos Beltran
OF – Angel Pagan
Bench – Chin-lung Hu
Bench – Daniel Murphy
Bench – Scott Hairston
Bench – Willie Harris
Bench – Mike Nickeas
SP – Mike Pelfrey
SP – R.A. Dickey
SP – Jon Niese
SP – Chris Young
SP – Chris Capuano
RP – Francisco Rodriguez
RP – Bobby Parnell
RP – D.J. Carrasco
RP – Taylor Tankersley
RP – Taylor Buchholz
RP – Manny Acosta
RP – Pedro Beato
Comments: Nickeas makes the team due to the eight games remaining on Ronny Paulino's PED suspension. The additions of relievers Blaine Boyer and Tim Byrdak, both to Minor League contracts, create even more competition for Tankersley, Buchholz, Acosta and Beato. Look for this situation to remain muddy until the final weeks of Spring Training.

"C'mon Huntsville, are you ready for a show?!"
The crowd roared to that blast from the announcer, and the 3rd Annual Rocket City Marching Band Exhibition played on.
"It feels good," said a smiling and uniformed Steven Johnson, director of the J.O. Johnson and S.R. Butler High School bands, looking up into the stands. "I love it."
The Johnson Band Booster Association and sponsors put on the exhibition to benefit Johnson, Butler and Lee High band programs, as well as Davis Hills, Chapman and Ed White Middle Schools and the Academy for Science and Foreign Language.
Across the field, in the visitor's stands, the band from Pearl Cohn High School in Nashville, the East Nashville Community Marching Band, bands from Howard High School in Chattanooga, Clarkston High School in Atlanta and others got ready for their turns on the grass.
"We need to do something like this in Nashville," said John Sevier, director of the Pearl Cohn band. He said it's gratifying to come here to support the Huntsville band programs
"The kids want to do something this time of year anyway," Sevier said, watching Lee High's Marching Generals take the field. "It keeps the program motivated, keeps us physical, keeps us active."
Johnson High's band, the "Mighty Sound of the South," capped the program. But they started the weekend a high note, too: Hope Community Church announced that Bishop Charles Rodgers will present a $3,000 donation to help send 85 students to attend Southern University's Summer Band Camp in Baton Rouge.

Stolen Laptops on the Rise at Mount Ida College
Students at Mount Ida college rioting after series of laptop thefts being reported throughout the day-credit campus. Mount Ida College, once the luxury discount school for Harvard faculty with children who needed a quick certification to warrant a job, is facing pressure from schools that offer actual substantive online degrees with nationally recognized academic merit nationwide. Is the increase in laptop thefts the product of sticky-fingered thieves, or an academic scandal conducted by a executive faculty desperate to underline their fiscal bottom line?
Concerned students at Mount Ida are rallying and using their combined intelligence to figure out what may be behind the laptop scandal affecting their school student body.
Residents throughout the school are purporting that their computers are missing. The scandal first started on October 11 when a man reported that a laptop delivered to his room by UPS at 3:58 pm suddenly came up missing at 5:45 pm. Many other students at the 2-year junior college expressed concern that their laptops were also stolen within the last week.
One thick-framed vet-tech student reported to police that her Apple laptop was also stolen, sometime between 12:25 pm and 12:40 pm. Her roommate's Dell was also stolen, according to reports.
With terse economic times, some students wonder if faculty may be behind the stealing and other students suspect with lax admission guidelines, many of the students at the school to simply party and yet claim they are upstanding college students are funding their gang lifestyles with stolen eletronics from students who are legacy of wealthier Harvard faculty.
It's unconfirmed if there is a link between the laptop stealing and counterfit bills being distibuted in proxy to the certificate school's campus.
