What we learned: A lot, actually. Jon Niese felt no pain after his first bullpen session since undergoing an MRI on his left shoulder. Kyle Farnsworth will re-sign with the Mets.

Dispatches from Port St. Lucie, 3/23
There is officially one week to go until Opening Day.
What we learned: Though Jenrry Mejia has outpitched Daisuke Matsuzaka this spring, Mejia's low innings total last year may preclude him from joining the Opening Day rotation.

Dispatches from Port St. Lucie, 3/4
Not to be outdone by Noah Syndergaard, Zack Wheeler gave the Mets three brilliantly efficient innings Tuesday. But the story was Curtis Granderson, who hit two home runs in the win over Houston.

Dispatches from Port St. Lucie, 2/24
It was only a matter of time before something contentious happened at Mets camp. The spring's first squabble came in the form of a New York Post report revealing that Ike Davis played through injury for much of last summer. Davis responded with venom.
What we learned: Davis played through injury from mid-May until one if his right oblique muscles "popped," in his words, in late August. What we don't know is how much the pain played into his season-long struggles; Davis says not at all. … Unlike fellow veterans David Wright and Daniel Murphy, Curtis Granderson will not shy away from early Grapefruit League action, preferring to see as much live pitching as possible after injuries severely shortened his 2013 season. … The new rule thought to ban home plate collisions will actually only prohibit the most egregious ones, in which runners or catchers are clearly and actively seeking contact.
What we wrote:
- Davis vehemently disputes playing with injury
- Granderson to play early, often this spring
- New collision rule no problem for d'Arnaud
Around the league:
- New rule on home-plate collisions put into effect
- Rangers extend Ron Washington through 2015 season
- Masahiro Tanaka puts on dazzling show for Yanks in sim game
- Indians exploring extension options with Jason Kipnis
They said it:
"I sucked last year because I sucked. It's not because I had an injury. You always have injuries and now it just looks bad. I didn't want the article to come out and it did, so whatever." –Davis on the New York Post report

Endy considering former teams
The Mets met with representatives for free-agent outfielder Endy Chavez on Tuesday in a continued effort to fill out their bench. An industry source said that the Mariners, Rangers and Orioles all remain potential landing spots for Chavez, as well. No deal appears imminent with any of those teams.
Chavez has spent the last six years bouncing from New York to Seattle and Texas, though he is best-known as a Met, transforming into a fan favorite after his game-saving catch in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series at Shea Stadium.

From today's Reader's Page of The Post-Standard, a writer suggests a way to clear traffic congestion and make the city some money:
>> What's your opinion? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
To the Editor:
Hey, I have a great idea for the city of Syracuse to increase revenue and help commuters get out of town easier with all the construction going on.
How about ticketing cars parked along South Salina, Warren and North Salina in little Italy with $100 a pop no parking fines 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. If people don't pay it, double the fine.
It is so frustrating to crawl down these streets with one lane of traffic and cars parked on either side of the street. Clear up these streets during "rush" times and bring in revenue at the same time.

Lots out there in cyberspace, from Oregon State's first spring practice, to Oregon's high national media profile, to the emotional firestorm on the apparent move of the Apple Cup to Qwest Field for at least the next six years.
I don't have a fresh take on any of it, although I did enjoy Cliff Kirkpatrick's story on OSU's Taylor Kavanaugh, who is getting more out of his college education than some pass receptions.
And as for the uproar over the Apple Cup's move, I couldn't put it better than the P-I's Art Thiel, who tells fans of the two schools if they want to play in the big time, it's time to ante up.

The Battle Creek-based cereal maker [NYSE: K] credited its sales growth in part to innovation and price increases. At its annual meeting a few days before the earnings announcement, CEO David Mackay called shareholder attention to the company's new $54 million R&D facility.
"We're on track to complete the expansion roughly third quarter of 2009," Mackay said.
Health may be a large factor in some of the products developed at the new institute, as Kellogg voluntarily reformed its nutrient criteria in June 2007, he noted. The company now is reformulating products that do not meet those standards.
The company also has put a stronger focus on sustainability measures, he noted at the meeting April 25, and has recently hired a chief environmental officer, Donna Banks.
"We'll be coming out with a corporate responsibility report in the future," Mackay said.
Looking forward, Mackay told shareholders that emerging markets will drive growth for the manufacturer, including Russia, Turkey, Latin America and Asia. In January, the company acquired Russian cereal maker CBG.
Indeed, while Kellogg North America posted net sales up 7 percent in the quarter, Kellogg International grew sales 16 percent, with Latin America leading the drive at 7 percent.
First-quarter results:
Net sales -- $3.26 billion
Net earnings -- $315 million
Net earnings per share -- 81 cents

Activation Energy: The Science of Getting Started
How many times have you put off starting something? How many times did that same task end up being relatively easy, once you finally got started?
In chemistry, activation energy is the "minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction." What is fascinating about the concept is that this initial energy typically far exceeds the amount of energy required to sustain the reaction.
In other words, it takes a lot to get started – but it is easier to continue something that has already begun. This same principle applies to humans and our motivations, as well.

Learn the essential habits of highly productive people. This course teaches you how to always operate at 100%.
Optimal Performance
We Are Chemical Beings
Metaphysical suppositions aside, we humans are nothing more than one big chemical reaction. Trying to get started with a new task, especially one which does not seem fun, requires a certain motivational activation energy. It may be hard to get out of the bed in the morning, but once you do, it is generally much easier to stay awake.
Clearly the more boring / annoying the task, the greater the activation energy. Perhaps this analogy could also help explain a number of different personality traits. I'm more interested, though, in how to improve the reaction – to reduce activation energy in order to make tasks easier.
Prepare a Catalyst
In the chemical world, a catalyst reduces the activation energy required for a reaction (see the graph above). It is not that the reaction has fundamentally changed, but the addition of a new component facilitates the onset.
In the world of human beings, there are several things that can serve as effective motivational catalysts. One of the most effective is the simple use of planning. When you plan to do something ahead of time (and even rehearse it or set aside a specific time to do it), you make the task easier to get started.
To continue with the "getting out of bed" example from above, consider the difference between waking up with a task in mind and waking up on a lazy Sunday morning. In the latter situation there is no planning involved. In the former situation, though, each task leads into the next. You need to wake up to get your shower in time to have your breakfast in time to make the morning commute. You may not enjoy waking up any more (or even less), but each task is made easier because you have a plan in mind.
Furthermore, you harness the power of momentum in this scenario. When each task leads into the next one (the breakfast to the shower to the commute), it becomes a chain-reaction (to continue with the chemistry parlance). You hardly have time to think between each activity because each one flows logically from the last, the energy you had from the last task carrying you forward into the next one. As with a chemical chain-reaction, you do not need to add as much energy (motivation) to continue the process; the energy from the last reaction (task) carries over to make the next one easier.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Dennis Kucinich may be a 21st century trendsetter, but it turns out that he would not be the first congressman to move to another state for a fresh run at a House seat.
Ed Foreman did it in the 1960s. After losing a Texas race for congressional re-election in 1964, he moved back to his native New Mexico and won a seat there. He lost that seat, too, after a single term.
This bit of trivia comes to us on the heels of speculation that Kucinich might move to Washington state if he loses his Ohio seat through redistricting.
Kucinich, a Cleveland Democrat, could even try his luck in both states if he wanted to go for a new Ohio seat first. If he lost in Ohio's March primary, he'd have enough time before Washington's August 2012 primary to meet that state's candidacy requirements, according to the Washington Secretary of State's office.
Will Kucinich do it? We'd say the odds are unlikely, but the former Cleveland mayor is keeping folks guessing. Plain Dealer reporter Sabrina Eaton asked him outside his House office Tuesday, and Kucinich refused to end the speculation.
Well-known Americans have set up residence in other states and run successfully for Senate, but they had names like Clinton (as in Hillary) and Kennedy (as in Robert). An attempt to jump cross-country for a House seat seemed unique to people who watch contemporary politics in Washington.
But Charlie Giunta, a history teacher in Westlake, told us this morning about Foreman, who's now a motivational speaker and teacher of the "Successful Life" course.
Foreman, a Republican, first represented a West Texas congressional district but lost his first re-election race in 1964 -- the same year that a Texas Democrat, Lyndon Johnson, won his election to be president after filling out the remainder of John F. Kennedy's White House term. Foreman moved back to his native New Mexico and won a House district there in 1968, again serving a single term before defeat.
Foreman lives in Texas now and earns at least $10,000 a speech, according to the Premiere Speakers Bureau. He's wealthy but, like Kucinich, remembers his humble roots; among his booking requirements is airfare -- but in coach class.

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA has approved adding an arc three feet from the basket, inside which a defender cannot take a charge.
The organization said Thursday its Playing Rules Oversight Panel had approved several recommended rules changes for college basketball during a conference call Monday.
The women's 3-point line will move back a foot to 20 feet, 9 inches next season, the same distance the men have used since 2008-09. In both the men's and women's games, the terminology for fouls will be changed to match the NBA. Intentional fouls will now be called Flagrant 1 and flagrant fouls will be called Flagrant 2.
Women's teams will also test a 10-second half-court rule in exhibition games next
The men's and women's basketball rules committees recommended the changes earlier this month.

LEWISTON, Maine — Patrick Dempsey's bicycle run in western Maine to raise money for his cancer center has netted about $1 million.
The Sun Journal of Lewiston reports that about 4,000 people took part in the third annual fundraising effort to benefit the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing at the Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.
Hundreds of cyclists pedaled between 10 and 100 miles along roads in Androscoggin and Oxford counties during the two-day event, which ended Sunday. The roads were lined with spectators cheering the cyclists.
Dempsey, a native of Buckfield, plays Dr. Derek Shepherd on TV's "Grey's Anatomy." He founded the Dempsey Center in 2008.

Lori Cartmill of Middlesex Township has volunteered off and on for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society since she was 14, when she participated in her first Multiple Sclerosis walk.
Now 47, Cartmill is more active than ever being involved in the What a Difference a Day Makes program, in which volunteers go into the homes of clients and performs household chores, from painting and cleaning to small repairs.
Cartmill counts her time with clients as a privilege and feels that even though the odds seem overwhelming for those with MS, the amount of help volunteers can offer truly makes a difference in the clients' lives.
Why this place? "My first walk with MS was when I was 14. I have volunteered on and off throughout those years. ... I started volunteering again when I met Barbara Bradshaw at a conference a few years ago. Barbara coordinates volunteers for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. She was so passionate about helping the clients that I felt moved to help them as well.
"We began discussing various volunteer opportunities and that is how it all began. We have been partnering with the MS ever since."
What do you get from it? "It is an amazing experience. Meeting the clients is a privilege."
What do you like least? "The hardest part of volunteering is knowing how much is still left to be done. There are thousands of people in the local counties that struggle with MS every day. When you look at the odds it seems overwhelming until you realize what a difference a day can really make. Just think if groups all over volunteered in this way. Think about how many lives could be touched."

Ladies and gentlemen, part 1 of the TurnKey Linux 11 release is now officially out, including 45 new images based on Ubuntu 10.04.1. We pushed out the 11.0 release candidates 3 months ago, and with the help of the community have tested the images and resolved the few remaining issues.
Part 1 mostly refreshes the existing roster of appliances in the library. In the upcoming part 2 we'll release the new appliances the community has been helping us develop over the last year. This will roughly double the size of the library.
A handful of new appliances have also been squeezed in:
This was mostly a side effect of the original (misguided) plan to do one big massive release with over 80 appliances.
What's changed since the release candidates
See the previous announcement of the release candidates for changes since the last maintenance release (2009.10-2, based on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS).
Many, many thanks to…
What's next

@theotherberean I find it ironic that one of the things you attack us mormons for is being different from mainstream Christianity. Let me ask you this simple question: Are you a protestant? Because in the 1400s and 1500s Protestantism was hardly mainstream.And it was also called unchristian by many Christians of the time. Who are you to tell me that I am not a follower of Christ? I am not perfect but neither are you or anybody else.
I know that Jesus Christ is The Only Begotten Son of God, that He lived a perfect life and died to atone for our sins, and I know that He lives!

I know you guys will attack me for saying this, but this isn't actually what they are supposed to believe. If you payed attention, you'd notice it doesn't actually refer to Jews and Christians, it refers to those who worship false deities.(They worship the Judeo- Christian God) The one where it does refer to the children of Israel it condemns them for not following Christ and the Hebrew prophets, which was something Christians also used as an excuse to kill Jews up through the Holocaust. Up until modern muslim clerics corrupted their beliefs into something shameful, Muslim countries practiced a principle known as the children of the Book. Look it up, during the middle ages they had more freedom of religion than Europe.What their religion has been twisted into in modern times is terrible but you have to remember, many don't follow that brand and its not what they're actually supposed to believe. The reason I wrote this is because I am sick of of you guys attacking others beliefs. You cry foul when atheists attack mainstream Christianity, yet the moment you hear the word Muslim, or even Mormon or whatever else, you scream "Kill them all!" That is hardly Christian. And that last statement, that muslims identify as muslims more than citizens of any country? Let me ask this, don't you identify as Christians more than as Americans? I do.

@deavonrye I am surprised by this, but I agree with you wholeheartedly. A much as I wish religion was not ignored in schools, being a member of a minority religion, I cannot support something that would take away the freedom of people like me. If there was prayer in public schools it would probably be of a catholic, or baptist, or a non-denominational brand. As a Mormon I am quite certain I would be ignored. People should be allowed to pray according to their own conscience, be they mormon like me, catholic, evangelical, mainstream protestant, russian orthodox, jewish, muslim, buddhist, unafilliated, etc. That is something that I am happy to fight and die for.

The huge trucks are back under the Carrier Dome roof tonight.
The Monster Jam up on the Syracuse University hill tonight sold out with attendance hitting 38,547, according to the show's producers, Feld Entertainment.
Last year, more than 34,000 people packed the dome, making it the biggest crowd in the Northeast for the touring truck show.
The event includes 16 of the biggest Monster Jam star drivers and big trucks.
Dennis Anderson, driver of Grave Digger, won both the racing portions and freestyle portions of the event. This is the 30th year Anderson has been driving. He's the four-time World Finals Champion. These day's he's joined in the show by his son, Adam Anderson.
Besides the high-flying racing and freestyle truck events, there is also freestyle Motocross and Quad Wars.

The Tottenham Hotspurs are on the hot seat as they try to keep their winger who's fresh off a PFA Player of the Year title. The Spurs obviously want to hold on to Gareth Bale, and while the transfer window can be a doozy for clubs, actually getting the deal done with Bale should be Tottenham's top priority this summer.
If you're a Tottenham fan, however, you can't help but notice the bevy of transfer rumours surrounding the Welsh star. Bale is one of the hottest young talents in the game, and teams would be seriously foolish not to consider making a bid. He's the kind of player who can change a club's future.
Thankfully for Hotspurs fans out there, Martin Lipton from the Mirror has reported that you can put your minds at ease. Lipton reports that the Spurs have straight up told Man U that if they are pursuing the talented youngster, they're wasting their time.
Andre Villas-Boas Confirms Gareth Bale is Not for Sale http://t.co/M2GvgdQ1mB— Man United Latest (@LatestManUtd) July 21, 2013
It's been reported that Manchester United put up an insane £60 million bid for Bale, but executives for the Spurs insist they wouldn't even budge for a record-breaking £85 million price tag. In the same report, Lipton states that Real Madrid have already been scared off the trail.
More good news for Tottenham comes at the word that Bale has already showed up to preseason training with the Spurs, and it appears that he'll be a Hotspur for at least another season.
As Tottenham dodge suitors for the Welsh superstar, they need to stay focused on one thing: keeping Gareth Bale on the roster. If they want to be successful in the coming years, they need to keep the most talented guys on the pitch—and Bale is certainly one of those guys.
Gareth Bale has been placed in GiveMeFootball's PFA team of the decade. #THFC http://t.co/u1G3uWVF4G— Addicted to Spurs (@AddictedtoSpurs) July 21, 2013
Bale is a huge asset for any team that wants a great player. He won a number of different Player of the Year awards and found the net 21 times in league play last season.
Will Tottenham lose Bale this summer?
Tottenham would be foolish to hear any offers for Gareth. Great franchises are built on great players. You have to start with a nucleus of one or two great players. From there you build a team around the stars. Bale is one of those stars. If Tottenham lose him, they lose a part of their nucleus.

Developer Robert Congel has offered to reduce the size of his proposed Destiny USA Research and Development Park in Salina and is dropping his request for the government's use of eminent domain to help him acquire land for it.
Congel proposed the changes in a letter to Onondaga County Executive Nicholas Pirro on Thursday and asked for a one-year extension of his application for assistance from the county's industrial development agency.
Pirro said today he will support that extension. The agency, whose members are appointed by the county Legislature, told Congel in a letter last month that it planned to terminate his application at its meeting on Thursday unless he gives it a good reason not to.
The application was filed nearly two years ago. The agency adopted a policy in December 2005 of terminating applications that lay dormant for more than a year.
Congel's plan for a huge research and development park north and south of Seventh North Street ran into stiff opposition from 29 small businesses, most just south of the street. Their main objection was his request that the development agency use its eminent domain power to force them to sell him their properties.
In his letter to Pirro, Congel said he was modifying his application to focus the entire development on publicly owned lands north of Seventh North Street. He said he was withdrawing "all pending requests related to the use of eminent domain."
County Legislative Chairman Dale Sweetland sent a letter to the industrial development agency earlier this week urging it to terminate the developer's application because nothing has happened with the project for more than a year.
Sweetland said Congel can simply submit a new application, requiring a new public hearing and review, if he wants to proceed with the project.
John Sposato, owner of Pilot Travel Center and a spokesman for the businesses along Seventh North Street, said any modification of the developer's proposal should require a new application and new public review.
Staff writer Rick Moriarty will have a full report in The Post-Standard on Saturday.

It wasn't that long ago it seemed a solution was found to what had been somewhat of a problem for potential developers in the northern part of Chautauqua County.
In October 2008 a ceremony was held marking the opening of what was called the North County Economic Development Center. Loca-ted in the Stearns Building adjacent to City Hall, the Center had three tenants, the Chautauqua County Indus-trial Development Agency, the Dunkirk/Sheridan Em-pire Zone office and the city of Dunkirk's Development Department.
Billed as a one-stop economic development center, it was created in part out of necessity when the state's court system required more room in City Hall. With the termination of the Empire Zone program and the move of the CCIDA, there is only one tenant left, the city's Development Department.
Article Photos
OBSERVER Photo by Gib Snyder
The Stearns Building in downtown Dunkirk, located adjacent to City Hall, may be losing more tenants in addition to the loss of the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency's north county office to the State University of New York at Fredonia Technology Incubator in the 200 block of Central Avenue.
There are four city em-ployees along with one part-timer who are regulars in the city's space. Included in that are Development Director Steve Neratko, Assistant Director Lacy Lawrence, Recreation Director Tim Gornikiewicz and Rec Department Secretary Patty Pleszewski. Nicole Waite, the city's part-time Community Development Block Grant coordinator, also has a work space in the office.
With the move of the CCIDA office to the State University of New York at Fredonia Technology Incubator in the 200 block of Central Avenue, Mayor Anthony J. Dolce was asked if the city has plans to move its Development Department to the college facility.
"As of right now they're in the Stearns Building, we have a good spot there and that's something we're going to be meeting with the landlord and discussing our options at the Stearns Building," he replied. "We always explore options and ways to save money, so we haven't ruled anything out. Right now we're operating off the old lease. There's clauses in there covering how we would continue to pay until a new lease was settled upon."
The Recreation Depart-ment may be on the move out of the Stearns Building as well.
"We're looking at all possibilities, seeing not only what makes the most sense for us logistically, but pricewise," Dolce explained.
The city also rents studio space in the Stearns Building for Cable Access 12 operations, a situation that may soon change as well. Dolce said the city was looking to make a move to Dunkirk High School.
"That's the goal. ... We have two spaces over there so we want to discuss our options but as of right now we don't see any need for what we've used as the Access 12 space," Dolce stated.
Some Access 12 programming is already being produced in the DHS studio as the studio in the Stearns Building is well on its way to being emptied.

Editor's note: This story was updated with information from Tom Daly of the University of Michigan Health System.
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Priority Health is expanding its network of participating providers to include the University of Michigan Health System, the Grand Rapids-based insurer announced Thursday, Jan. 24.
The U-M hospitals in Ann Arbor and more than 1,800 physicians will join Priority's provider network or its HMO, PPO, POS and Medicare plans. The change takes effect March 1.
"This new collaboration provides even more access for our ever-growing membership while enhancing our health care network to care for the people of Michigan," Michael Freed, Priority's chief executive officer, said in a statement.
Tom Daly, director of contracting for the U-M health system, said UMHS pursued the agreement with Priority Health mainly to ensure that patients from all parts of Michigan can be referred to UMHS for complex, specialty care.
"We realized there was a greater need for both of us to allow access to high-end services. We project that the bulk of the businesswill be from referrals," Daly said. "As we partner with Priority Health in this program, it will give greater access to people in the state of Michigan to get to us."
Priority Health has become more of a presence in Southeast Michigan recently, Daly said. As employers in the region switch to Priority Health, it will allow employees to continue to receive care at UMHS, Daly said.
UMHS is a provider for more than 45 insurance plans. The health system continues to add health insurance plans every year, especially as more Medicare advantage plans are developed, Daly said.
The health system is also actively seeking insurance plans to add to make sure patients can be referred from other states, Daly said.
"People don't come for buildings; they come for our clinical services and our physicians," Daly said.
Priority Health, an insurer owned by Spectrum Health, covers 600,000 people, mostly in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.

All cars manufactured for sale in the US since 1996 have an OBDII diagnostic port as mandated by federal law. This connector must be within 3 feet of the steering wheel and must not require tools to access.
The port can be black or white. This is an example of what it looks like:
Normally, this port is located just under the dashboard above the gas or brake pedal. It can normally be located by simply looking under the dashboard or running your hand along the bottom edge of the dashboard until you "bump" into the connector.
Here are some examples of where your port may be located:
There are other instances where the connector is behind a cover panel to make its appearance more appealing. In these cases it's necessary to open that panel to gain access to the OBDII port.
Here are some examples of it behind a cover:

HOLLAND, MI — Size matters. And in the restaurant world, size really matters. In cities like New York, Tokyo and Paris, most restaurants are under 75 seats – and that may even be too large. Sure, real estate prices dictate the square footage, but regardless, it's always better to be a smaller restaurant that is full to the gills than a large restaurant at half the capacity. Perception is the reality.
I have planned to visit Serafina's Italian Bar & Grille a couple of times in the past months, but each visit resulted in our party opting to leave for another restaurant upon finding a vast space itching for business. When my father-in-law and I arrived at Serafina's in downtown Holland a few weeks back, it was no different. The long dining room had about four tables occupied and the brightly lit bar only had a couple of guys seated.
I would divide the interiors of the restaurant in four distinct sections. The best part, and the most appealing, is the cozy dining room. The lighting is soothing and one would definitely feel like he's been transported to a restaurant in the Italian countryside. On the other hand, the bar section is a striking contrast to the warmth of the dining room. What used to be part of the dining room space when Via Maria Trattoria occupied the building has been converted into a sports bar. When asked, the manager admitted the room should have been dimmer.
There is a long open kitchen that guests walk past from the primary parking lot behind the restaurant where the large outdoor terrace decks are located. On this evening, we arrived at 8 p.m. and witnessed one chef working the kitchen. Open kitchens are a fantastic idea but restaurants must be conscious that the kitchen should always look like people are working there to overcome a negative perception.
The last section is the dominant vertebrae that links all the other areas: part kitchen hallway, part Italian market street theme, and part entry. There is a pleasing element to the street scene, with faux second floor windows and plants; however, this positive element dissipates when there is no activity on the street except for the occasional server carrying plates to the table.
I could tell that there was a genuine effort by the kitchen to present the plates in an attractive way. Our order of Bruschetta ($6) and Portabella Crostini ($8), for example, were appetizingly presented on wooden boards that shimmered with the colors of earth and Italy. As beautiful as it appeared, it was easy to detect that the tomatoes in the bruschetta lacked the sweetness and crunchiness of freshly picked tomatoes. I was also looking forward to the burst of garlic that was faintly detectable in the crostini. The Portabella was the clear winner between the two with the earth flavor of the mushrooms shining through with each bite.
As I have mentioned in past dining reviews, the true character of the food and kitchen becomes evident in the preparation and flavors of the most basic items on the menu such as the soups, salads and pasta sauce. Unfortunately, this is where the food at Serafina's could use a little more attention from the chef. My side of Caesar ($3), for instance, looked like it was the server who plated it for banquet service. My father-in-law's Minestrone ($2) was very salty and didn't taste homemade. I also ordered a side of Spaghetti ($4) so I could taste the restaurant's tomato sauce, and I came away disappointed for the sauce's lack of texture, character and seasoning. The prices of the items were excellent, but I would have paid a little bit more for better quality.
I was excited to try the Spitini ($16) after our server sold me on the popularity of the dish. This Sicilian-style brochette is usually made of veal or chicken and stuffed with salt-cured meat, breadcrumbs and cheese before it's rolled into a stick and grilled. Serafina's uses beef instead, stuffing the meat with salami and provolone. Using beef doesn't work as well as the more subtle flavors of veal and chicken that counteract well the salted meat and cheese. However, I did enjoy the Spitini at Serafina's for its rich layers of flavor and texture.
My father-in-law struck out with the Sirloin Steak ($19). The steak was cooked to his desired temperature but the lower grade of meat was noticeable after the first slice. The steak was dry and tough despite the generous mushroom topping.
We ordered Tiramisu ($6) to hopefully finish on a high note. Just like the other plates, the tiramisu was nicely presented, however, the Italian "pick-me-up" dessert at Serafina's only partially fulfilled its mission. I prefer tiramisu that uses mascarpone and espresso soaked ladyfingers that still have a slight crunch; neither of which were present in the restaurant's version. It was a good cake, but just lacked the authenticity of homemade tiramisu I was looking for.
Serafina's presence in downtown Holland is a welcome relief for a large restaurant space that sat empty for two and a half years. Despite this intention, the restaurant has an identity crisis that the owners need to fix. On one end is an Italian country theme dining room that is attractive, while across the hallway is a sports bar that is seeking the support of the beer-centric crowd in the city. It's two different restaurants co-existing out of a desire to cater to a broader demographic. In most cases, it's much better to keep the concept simple.

Watch stocks you care about
The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
By my count, over the 24 hours since Best Buy (NYSE: BBY ) announced fiscal fourth-quarter and 2010 earnings, some 117 separate stories have been published on the news. (And that's just on Yahoo! Finance. I shudder to think how many more are waiting over on Google News ...) What more, I ask you, can a Fool possibly say about the report?
Quite a lot, actually. So far, stories on Best Buy's numbers have mostly hit the highlights, repeating tales of woe: weak TV sales. Same-store sales down 4.6%. Operating costs up 60 basis points. Profits down 11%. Market share a full percentage point lower.
Where good news has shined through, it's focused on the company's slight improvement in gross margins, as confused phone shoppers tromp through the big box looking for advice on whether they should buy from Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) , Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM ) , Motorola Mobility (NYSE: MMI ) , or any other Android-based clone phones. It seems the company's focus on higher margins from such smartphones helped. (And even then, it seems a lot of folks turned right around and marched off to buy phones and other electronics from cheaper vendors such as Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) and Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN ) .)
Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
So it's little wonder that Best Buy's slide hasn't stopped at yesterday's 5.4% loss of market cap, but expanded into a further 3% slide today. But here's the good news: Best Buy got 5.4% cheaper yesterday -- and a further 3% cheaper today!
Today, Best Buy shares can be had for the low, low price of just 9.4 times earnings (and they're even cheaper when valued on free cash flow.) Throw in a tidy 1.9% dividend, and the stock looks bargain-priced for its projected 11% five-year annualized earnings growth.
Even if Best Buy only grows at just the 7% it's projecting for this year, and things never get any better, the stock looks fairly priced -- but I actually believe Best Buy can do better. Amazon's edge on pricing looks shaky in light of state initiatives to require it to collect sales taxes. As this playing field gets leveled, I expect the momentum to shift in Best Buy's favor as it capitalizes on its strengths: "Boots-on-the-ground" expert advice on high-price purchases. A local Geek Squad business that can tame tech glitches -- and charge for the service.
Investors today are pricing Best Buy for obsolescence. In a high-tech world, I think that's the wrong call.

Welp, the Celtics are still working in the new guys in and while it was ugly, they get their second straight win over the Wizards, 100-94 in overtime.
It felt like a repeat of Saturday's game as the Celtics come out strong to an 11-2 run and everyone getting a bunch of assists. Paul Pierce was playing like a man on a mission, knocking down a three and getting to the line early. But once KG came out, the Wizards crept back into it despite shooting 29% from the field to make it 21-16 at the end of the first. KG had 9 boards in the quarter and Rondo had 6 points & 2 assists.
The second was just an ugly quarter to watch. The offense just couldn't hit any open looks and the Wizards continued to jack up three pointers and ugly shots. The problem is that eventually some of them began to fall for the Wizards. Martell Webster got 8 of his 16 points in the quarter. The Wizards bench dropped 27 in the first half compared to the Celtics 10, which gave the Wizards a five-point lead at halftime.
Kevin's night continued to get better as he scored the Celtics first seven points to tie the game at 42. The poor shooting continued for both teams but finally midway through the quarter, bench came to life. Jason Terry got 7 points on 3-5 shooting and Chris Wilcox got 6 points in 3 minutes to help give the Celtics a 68-58 lead.
The game continued to feel like deja vu as the Wizards stayed in this game as Bradley Beal hit some jumpers and AJ Price hit some moonshots to eventually tie the game at 80 with 3 minutes to go. After Rondo hit a pair of free throws, Beal hit a wide open 3 to give the Wizards a 83-82 lead. After a Brandon Bass missed jumper, KG managed to tips a Kevin Seraphin pass and gets control of the ball and gets fouled but he also gets called for a tech for throwing a phantom elbow. Seraphin hit the technical free throw and then KG hit both free throws to tie the game at 84.
KG's defense on Seraphin would also work in the next possession as he has him trapped near the half court line and Paul Pierce comes in for the steal & the foul. Truth hits 1 of 2 from the line. The Wizards respond with a Martell Webster brainfart which leads to Pierce getting a steal & passing to Rondo who gets fouled. Rondo hits 1 of 2 from the line to make it a two point lead. The Wizards catch a break in the next possession as Pierce gets caught literally running through a screen and Webster redeems himself by making both free throws to tie the game. Rondo responds with a step back mid range jumper that hits nothing but the bottom of the net to give the Celtics the lead. Chris Singleton wasn't having any of it though as he got an open look at the rim and he decides to take out all of his anger on it & ties it once again. The Celtics get one last chance and Rondo pulls up for a three and bricks it. Overtime!
Usually people like free basketball but not tonight. Overtime started with some wild shots but eventually the Wizards & Celtics trade some baskets to get it to 92-92 with about 2:30 left. Brandon Bass would then score five straight points in overtime by attacking the basket and running the court which basically sealed the victory for the Celtics.
Garnett had himself a hell of a night as he finished with 20 points, 13 rebounds & 2 blocks. Rondo got his 29th straight double-double, good for third best all-time, as he had 18 points & 14 assists on 7 of 11 shooting. Jason Terry finished with 16 (yay!) on 15 shots (boo!). Still….PROGRESS!

If you're stilling looking for input on this topic, here is mine:
Pros: Very thorough; Tony Horton is easy to listen to 6 times a week; a decent setup (weights, cardio, plyo, yoga); one-time purchase, with most supporting gear not being too expensive; can do it whenever; legs & back, chest & back, core synergistics and plyo very good and fun workouts
Cons: The workouts are extremely time-consuming - 6 days a week (with optional 7th stretch day) - yoga workout is 90 minutes, many workouts doubled-up with an ab workout which is about 300 crunches; some of the workouts are tricky for those with less coordination (like me!), particularly the Kenpo workout; lots of isolation moves, particularly in shoulder & arms and back & biceps workouts (I got tennis elbow from the endless curls in shoulder & arms).
My Experience: I worked through the program, with some modifications due to the tennis elbow (I had not done an isolation exercise in 9 months - stupid curls!). I did not follow the diet portion very strictly. I lost 7 pounds, doubled my pullups and increased my pushups by 30%. But it was really tedious to work in those long workouts, even though I have a very flexible and generous schedule.
Pros: Whole-body compound moves; short and sweet workouts; community; gym environment where you can make noise without treadmill zombies complaining that you are making it hard for them to talk on their cell phones; getting to play with fun things like tires, etc
Cons: Moves can be difficult for novices (make sure you get a good and watchful trainer to help - particularly with things like barbell cleans and snatches); keeping up with community could lead to injury
My experience:
I have done Crossfit-like workouts, but not the WOD, website stuff per se. I enjoy whole body things, kettle bells, and so forth. And when I was in a gym, I did make a bit of noise. So I have an affinity to this sort of thing.
If you must choose between the two, I would go with Crossfit, and ease into it a bit.
Best of luck!
BTW, if you want to look like a Spartan (as in the 300), there is a very nice workout book by Dave Randolph called the Spartan Warrior Workout (he is an RKC guy who helped design the 300 workout). My wife and I worked through a few rounds/versions last summer, with very good results. It's fairly cheap and accessible.

GRAND RAPIDS -- Grand Rapids school administrators Friday received "conditional approval" from the state for its reform plan for Union High School, but must hammer out an agreement with the union to put it into action.
The state Department of Education announced 45 of the 92 schools it identified as the Persistently Lowest Achieving Schools received approval of their redesign plans by the state School Reform/ Redesign Office.
GRPS was among 22 districts that received "conditional approval" and will receive full approval only upon submission by August 1, 2011 of the necessary amendment to the building's collective bargaining agreement, signed by both the school district and collective bargaining leadership.
"Certainly, we are encouraged by the state's decision," said John Helmholdt, GRPS spokesman. "This gives us time to build upon tentative agreements already reached and come to a final agreement on requirements of the state."
Union High School had not achieved Adequate Yearly Progress under the federal No Child Left Behind Act until this year.
"We are pleased to see that the MDE remains committed to working with us, and sincerely hope the district will act on this reminder that reform cannot be achieved without the support of the people who actually work with and know our children," said Paul Helder, head of the Grand Rapids Education Association.
Districts with schools identified on the lowest achieving list were required to submit a redesign plan to the state last month. Schools on this list that have not received a federal School Improvement Grant will be eligible to apply for one next year.
Godfrey-Lee Public Schools received approval without conditions for its redesign of Lee High School.
"The entire high school staff is dedicated not only to success for our students but to put Lee High School on the map as a model for school transformation in a high poverty, limited English-speaking urban setting," said Godfrey-Lee Superintendent David Britten.
Helmholdt said the primary negotiation issue with the Grand Rapids union is how much teachers will be compensated for additional instructional time required under the plan, including for tutoring students, professional development and training and collaborative planning and more lesson planning time.

The 2013 season started with an interception, so it's only fitting that it ended with one, too.
Houston had their chance to sweep the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. At one point, the Texans actually led the game, but Matt Schaub had something to say about that in the end.
Two interceptions and a whole lot of the same was the Texans' undoing—pretty much the same story week in and week out.
The Titans, meanwhile, had a pretty average day, even though Chris Johnson made up some good stats.
Here's the takeaways for the final game of an ugly, ugly season.

Nebraska looks to remain one of the top teams in the Big Ten this upcoming season and has 13 starters returning to help make that happen. Winning 10 games last season for the third time in four years, the Cornhuskers have to feel good about their chances in 2013, especially playing in a Big Ten conference that isn't looking so great on paper.
Bo Pelini and his players recently kicked off spring practice, and it is the first chance to see what this team looks like. They are all preparing for the spring game that will be played on April 6 at 2 p.m. in front of thousands of people at Memorial Stadium.
Even with everything this team has going for it, there are still plenty of questions that need to be answered, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
So, with spring practice underway, let's take a look at how things are looking for those Nebraska Cornhuskers in 2013.
Note: This slideshow will be updated with the latest news, position battles, injuries and more.

SANTA FE — A 65-year-old man wanted on charges of indecency with a child was arrested by Santa Fe police on Saturday.
James Bernardo Thornton, a Santa Fe resident, was taken into custody soon after arriving home after working off shore. He was arrested by Santa Fe police and U.S. Customs agents at the heliport where the helicopter landed that brought him from his offshore job, Santa Fe police said in a statement.
