RHEL5 / CentOS5 RPMs for Python 2.5 and 2.6
by Rizwan Kassim on Nov.18, 2009, under Tech Articles, Uncategorized
EDIT : Newer Instructions are here.
this is a repost from my old site.
I've created RPMs for RHEL 5.0, hair 5.1, physiotherapy 5.2 and 5.3, men's health as well as CentOS 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 for Python 2.5 and 2.6.
The RHEL/CentOS line only supports Python 2.4, and as it's an integral part of yum and many other packages, any installation of new Pythons will require parallel installation.
(Note : Currently, the 2.5 and 2.6 RPMs cannot both be installed without an RPM –force)
TODO : Repository URL & GPG signing
As for the RPMs themselves :
- Python 2.6 – Built from Fedora Core 11 Alpha
- python26-2.6-geekymedia1.i386.rpm
- python26-debuginfo-2.6-geekymedia1.i386.rpm
- python26-devel-2.6-geekymedia1.i386.rpm
- python26-libs-2.6-geekymedia1.i386.rpm
- python26-test-2.6-geekymedia1.i386.rpm
- python26-tools-2.6-geekymedia1.i386.rpm
- tkinter26-2.6-geekymedia1.i386.rpm
- python26-2.6-geekymedia1.src.rpm
- Python 2.51 – Built from Fedora Core 10 (by Bashton)
Neither of these packages fully pass the Python test suite (import test.autotest).
That being said, we've been using the Python 2.5 package, released by Bashton, in production for a while now, and we haven't seen any problems.
4 tests failed: test_distutils test_email test_email_renamed test_nis
I don't know about email, but there are patches for CentOS/Fedora against distutils, so I expect that's why it fails the test.
For Python 2.6, note the following :
- I had to gimp autoconf's version detection to force it to use 2.59. This may have unintended consequences
- This RPM uses patches from the Fedora Core 11 Alpha release. (python-2.6-4.fc11 specifically). As Fedora updates this package, I'll release updates. (Feel free to email to remind.)
Just install the RPMs for the version that you want. You'll need at least the base python version package and the libs package.
To start Python 2.6, type python26 at your commandline rather than python. (Your original Python 2.4 is still installed.)
If you're installing packages with setuptools, make sure to use the correct python version. (i.e. python26 setup.py install)
If you'd like to build an x86_64, call rpmbuild –rebuild with the appropriate arch setting.

Hi! I have a problem with installation python-2.6 on CentOS. It's need libs and when I try to install libs I see this:
[root@~]# rpm -ihv python26-libs-2.6-geekymedia1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
python26 = 2.6-geekymedia1 is needed by python26-libs-2.6-geekymedia1.i386
What can I do to fix it?
Best regards, ornicum.

Hi First I dont know about the errors that i have to install all the required packages along with the python 2.6 installation(RHEL5). So I installed it. Now what should I do. Do i need uninstall?? and install your RPM's? How to do uninstall (am new to RPM world) and what ORDER do I need follow for above packages for your rpm installation simply "rpm -ivh" dows that would be enough. Thanks in advance
January 11th, 2010 on 3:01 am
Is there a x64 version available ?
January 31st, 2010 on 12:45 pm
Thanks for packaging python 2.6 for EL5.
It would be nice if you would consider managing these pacakges in EPEL (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL).
It would make distribution and installation somewhat easier as well as you reaching a bigger audience.
Kind regards,

Where can I find the CentOS rpm for python 2.6.5 and equivalent python-devel for 64 bit hosts?
August 30th, 2010 on 5:50 am
I try to install the packages on Centos 5.2, but I obtein the following error:
[root@localhost python2.6]# rpm -Uvh python26-* tkinter26-2.6-geekymedia1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libTix8.4.so is needed by tkinter26-2.6-geekymedia1.i386
I try to search the libTix8.4.20 for my Centos with no results-
October 15th, 2010 on 3:47 pm
From what I can tell, this is a UCS4 build? It creates many incompatibilities namely this: http://effbot.org/pyfaq/when-importing-module-x-why-do-i-get-undefined-symbol-pyunicodeucs2.htm
Can you confirm this is a UCS4 build?

Hi Luca,
To fi those dependencies, just do:
yum install tix tcl tk
And then the dependencies will be all set for tkinter by geekymedia.
July 4th, 2011 on 5:43 am
when I try to install your package on a RHEL 5
rpm -ivh python25-2.5.1-bashton1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libpython2.5.so.1.0 is needed by python25-2.5.1-bashton1.i386
Where I can find this lib libpython2.5.so.1.0 ?
Thank you

Installing Orbited on CentOS 5 - ToxicComa
February 3rd, 2010 on 10:09 am
[...] The first step is to install Python 2.5. Sadly, we can't simply update the Python 2.4 that comes stock with CentOS 5 as it is required for yum to work properly. To get around this we will be installing a parallel version of Python 2.5. This part of the setup is using the parallel install of Python as described and created by Geekymedia.com. [...]

If you thought competitive StarCraft II in a bar was wild, wait until you see it amidst a throng of thousands of fans at BlizzCon 2011, home of the 2011 Global Battle.net Invitational and the 2011 Global StarCraft II League October Final.
During my yearly sojourn to Anaheim for BlizzCon, I don't often touch on the eSports part of the show for two reasons. One, I'm too busy taking pictures of female Draenei cosplayers from behind. Two, if I get within 50 feet of a competitive StarCraft II match, I will automatically lose, regardless of whether or not I am playing. You can imagine how embarrassing that is.
The competitive side of BlizzCon is for those made of sterner stuff. Past the booths selling action figures, masks, comic books, and novels; past the row upon row of computers teasing players with the latest build of Diablo III, there lies the eSports arena, a place where people that look at a StarCraft II screen and can tell you exactly what's going on feel right at home.
The world's top StarCraft II players will begrudgingly sit next to the world's top World of Warcraft arena battlers this October in Anaheim. The action will be fast and furious. With a prize pool of nearly $300,000 between the two events, I'm secretly hoping somebody gets stabbed. Tastefully stabbed, mind you. None of this violent stuff.
"Between the Global Battle.net Invitational and the GSL October Final, two of the biggest eSports events of the year will be taking place at BlizzCon 2011," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We're looking forward to witnessing the high level of competition between the pro gamers participating in these events alongside our attendees at BlizzCon and the viewers at home."
BlizzCon 2011 has been sold out for several decades, but there's always the virtual ticket, on sale soon at the BlizzCon website. You'll probably get a better view of the action anyway.

Keys to Successful Mobile CRM
Jan 22, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Mobile CRM is usually not a company's first foray into CRM. Before going mobile, a company usually has a SaaS-based CRM application, at a bare minimum, as well as an online presence that has become increasingly interactive over the years -- and likely a social media presence as well.
Unlike traditional CRM, which is built upon a decade of knowledge on how to successfully implement a project, mobile CRM is still relatively new. That doesn't mean knowledge hasn't accumulated in this area, though.
CRM Buyer reached out to several companies in this space for their take on what makes a mobile CRM project successful.
Keep It Simple
In many cases, companies have been able to build on the knowledge garnered during earlier, more painful CRM implementations.
For instance, one of the keys to a general CRM project's success is to not overlook the challenge of user adoption, noted Suneela Vaidya, Acumen's director of enterprise mobility.
"Most salespeople have their own system that they have been tracking throughout their careers and getting them to change is no small feat," Vaidya told CRM Buyer.
For that reason, one of Vaidya's first tips for a successful mobile CRM implementation is to keep the user interface streamlined and simple to use.
Other tips have been extrapolated from earlier CRM lessons as well. For example, "it's important to have a plan to service and inventory all the mobile devices -- they will break and need support," Vaidya said.
The IT Backbone
It's also essential that companies consider their IT backbones and architecture framework, noted Ray Grainger, founder and CEO of Mavenlink.
"For those that use their CRM for service delivery, one thing to consider is that both employees and clients can have access to your platform," he told CRM Buyer.
"Therefore, a platform-neutral technology, such as HTML5, can make adoption much easier,, since users simply go to their mobile browser and don't need to download applications, manage updates or keep track of which devices are compatible," Grainger explained.
Interactive Design
A well-designed front end is key as well, said Dan Cronyn, director of consumer marketing at TheLadders.
"Remember the rule of thumb, or rule of fingers," he told CRM Buyer. "If you have to pinch and resize, it's not right. If your emails look wonky or don't even render properly on a mobile device -- both tablets and smartphones -- you can expect poor click-throughs and unsubscribes."
It's simple to code your emails so they look great for both desktops and mobile devices, "so make sure your CRM developer is all caught up on mobile-responsive design," Cronyn added.
"When thinking of mobile CRM content, try to place yourself in the consumer's shoes and think about what kinds of actions they are most apt to undertake while on the go," he said. "Text-heavy or long-form emails should be avoided. Short copy and clear CTAs with well-designed buttons that move to landscape and portrait are great click bait on a mobile device."
Fundamentals Are Always Key
While much of this advice is specific to the mobile arena, implementing companies are well advised not to forget the basics -- that is, the fundamental principles that are true for any CRM project.
It's a good idea to examine essential business processes to identify where mobile CRM can make an impact, suggested Sage CRM Solutions SVP and GM Dan Wilzoch.
"Many sales, accounting, inventory and support functions can be accomplished securely via mobile devices," he told CRM Buyer. "Some businesses can gain mobile efficiencies by eliminating or simplifying steps in their sales cycle or customer support workflow. Others may create entirely new revenue streams by enabling customer data and payments on mobile devices."
Companies should clearly define the goals, process and approach at the outset, advised Jen O'Brien, director of content strategy at Manifest Digital.
These goals "should be measurable, to support ROI insight," she told CRM Buyer.
Also, "devise a plan to measure success, ongoing," urged O'Brien. "For example, perform user research to determine if messaging and experience meet the audience's needs; adjust as appropriate."

The golf world is becoming more and more like the automotive industry; every year witnesses the introduction of a new model of golf club that sets the hackers and professionals abuzz. This year's hottest topic is the Callaway ERC Fusion Driver, a melding of what has become the standard material for clubfaces—titanium—with a high-tech carbon composite club body.
The true test of a new club always comes on the golf course. This driver has an honest combination of great distance with a lot of forgiveness. I chose a 9-degree loft with a custom shaft (the ERC comes with the Callaway RCH shaft). My first time using it on a driving range, I was astonished at the crisp feel of the ball strike, the high ball flight and, yes, how far it went. Like most mid-handicappers, I also struggle with a variety of swing faults. The most common ones lead to a big slice. Even though the ERC does not come with a closed face in the lower loft angles, I found the sweet spot to be big enough and hot enough to counter my tendency to hit the big banana ball right.
The carbon composite material does make the club feel light, but Callaway has compensated with some discretionary perimeter weighting. I never felt like I "lost" the club on the backswing. Some of you may also remember the short-lived C4 Callaway driver, which was made entirely of a carbon composite material. It had a strange sound when struck; this club sounds great at impact, albeit different than a club made entirely of metal. Overall, the club's look and feel give you a sense of confidence when you're standing over the ball on the tee.
The bottom line is this: if you're looking for a new driver, you should definitely consider the ERC Fusion. The ERC, by the way, is a reference to the initials of the Callaway Golf founder, Ely Reeves Callaway Jr., who died in 2001. It's a fitting tribute to one of the great names in golf.

- 2000 Outlook
Our look at some important treatment-research directions at this time -- including HIV-specific immunity, antiretroviral development, lipodystrophy, nutrition, and how research could be improved; also a look at some non-research treatment-access issues.
- Retroviruses Conference Report by Telephone Conference, February 2
The very important 7th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections will take place January 30-February 2 in San Francisco. Developments will be summarized in a one-hour telephone conference report on February 2. The teleconference is free, but advance registration is required.
- Lipodystrophy Report by Telephone Conference, February 9
This free teleconference will present latest results on metabolic complications and body-fat changes in HIV disease; participants can ask questions of the panel of experts. Advance registration is required.
- Three Activist Meetings, San Francisco, Late January
Three treatment activist meetings are being scheduled for San Francisco while people are in town for the 7th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections.
- Neuropathy: Practical Book on Mainstream, Alternative Options
Peripheral neuropathy causes numbness, pain, or weakness, especially in the feet or hands. Numb Toes and Aching Soles discusses dozens of treatments now in use, and includes about 200 comments from patients on their own experiences with them. The book's main value is in familiarizing readers with the treatment options available.
- Acupuncture Detoxification Meeting, San Francisco, January 28 and 29
Acupuncture is used as part of a protocol which appears to be very successful in substance-abuse treatment. Results will be presented in this two-day international conference.
- Disability Benefits: New Law Will Help Disabled Return to Work
The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Act, which became Federal law in December 1999, will help disabled persons return to work with less risk of losing their medical benefits. But this complex law will gradually become effective over the next few years, and some of its provisions will apply only in states which have chosen to participate. Expert advice will still be necessary for persons who want to try to return to work but are not sure they will be medically able to do so.

2000 Outlookby John S. James
The current picture is unclear; we have heard less scientific news recently, but that does not mean less is happening. Much more will be known after the Retroviruses conference, January 30-February 2 in San Francisco. (The earliest overviews and summaries of treatment news will be on the Web during or shortly after the conference; an accessible one-hour summary will also be available by telephone conference on February 2 -- see "Retroviruses Conference Report by Telephone Conference" below, in this issue.) Here is our view of some of the important research areas, and treatment-access issues, as of today.
HIV-Specific ImmunityWhen first infected, the body itself can control HIV much better than any known drug combination. But gradually this ability is lost, for reasons which are in large part unknown. If we could understand the mechanisms involved, it may be possible to retain or restore this natural immunity, and keep HIV infection under control with much less intensive use of drugs than now required.
AntiretroviralsBut meanwhile it is the antiretrovirals which are saving lives (and these drugs will probably also need to be used with immune-based therapies as well). Medical research on antiretrovirals can generally be divided between looking for small improvements (developing the next protease inhibitor with marginal benefit over existing treatment, or conducting the huge, slow trials often needed to prove that this benefit exists), vs. looking for fundamentally new treatments which exploit different points in the viral life cycle or the pathogenesis of HIV infection. Both kinds of research are necessary, and are proceeding.
We are concerned, however, that large institutions are structurally biased toward seeking the small but more predictable advances; pharmaceutical companies get another pill to sell, and university research centers get large, standardized trials with predictable staffing demands. The result is an overall misdirection of research effort and resources.
LipodystrophyLipodystrophy research has produced some theories, but no clear picture of what is going on -- and no clearly superior treatments, although there are treatments which do work sometimes. Our view is that the research is suffering from a large-institution bias, leading to a focus on creating a definition so that different researchers' reports will be comparable, and on obtaining reliable statistics, in part to justify funding.
Our choice would be to start from the other end -- with sophisticated, well-funded research projects each studying a single well-selected patient, or at most a few patients, to use every means possible to discover the mechanisms behind that person's problems, and what can be done to treat them. Of course one patient will not be representative of all, but almost certainly any effective treatment found to work well for him or her will also work for many others, leading to a significant advance in the field.
Then the next step is to find a patient for whom the new treatment does not work, and repeat the process, looking for another new treatment which works for a different component of the problem. Note that it is not necessary to identify the components ahead of time.
This idea may seem unusual in a treatment-research context, but it is well known in other fields as a bottom-up vs. top-down strategy. Both approaches have their advantages. Our view is that lipodystrophy research has not been successful because of an overemphasis on top-down thinking, which so far at least has not proved feasible in this area.
Nutrition, and SupplementsMore attention is needed to reports that certain nutritional deficiencies may be associated with faster disease progression in some patients.
Such associations do not necessarily imply causality; the way to find out for sure if providing the nutrient would reduce progression would be to run a randomized trial. Clearly the large clinical-endpoint trials will seldom if ever be done for nutrients, for both economic and ethical reasons -- who would want to go into a trial where they would maintain a known deficiency in order to see if they get sick faster than a comparison group? But clinical trials could look at viral load, or other parameters which can change quickly.

Three Activist Meetings, San Francisco, Late January
"An AIDS treatment advocacy community meeting has been scheduled to take place on January 29, 2000 in San Francisco (the day before the Retroviruses conference) to discuss: (1) Long term HIV effectiveness research: the science, methodology, feasibility and need for appropriate funding, and (2) Highlights (an overview) of the NIH/NIAID Division of AIDS (DAIDS) workshop on long-term clinical studies in HIV infection, which takes place January 12-13. The community meeting will be Saturday January 29, noon to 5:00 p.m. at the San Francisco Marriott, 55 Fourth St., San Francisco; the community meeting was organized by an ad hoc community steering committee formed at NATAF, the National AIDS Treatment Advocates Forum, December 11-14 in Miami. If you will be attending, please RSVP to Michael Marco (firstname.lastname@example.com), the steering committee's logistics coordinator."
The other two meetings have not yet been officially scheduled:
There are many restaurants in the area suitable for small informal meetings, up to 15 or 20 people; they are unlikely to be crowded after lunch in the afternoon because they are set up to handle the larger crowds that come at night for entertainment, especially at the new Sony Metreon movie complex across the street from the Marriott hotel. At ICAAC in September, the daily activist meetings occurred outdoors at Yerba Buena Park, also across the street from the Marriott -- but January is in the rainy season in San Francisco, so the weather may not be suitable for meeting outdoors.
We expect to have more information in our January 21 issue.
Neuropathy: Practical Book on Mainstream, Alternative Optionsby John S. James
Numb Toes and Aching Soles: Coping with Peripheral Neuropathy, by John A. Senneff, discusses dozens of different treatments which people are using for peripheral neuropathy, a poorly-understood condition causing loss of sensation, weakness, or pain, most often in the feet or hands. Millions of Americans have peripheral neuropathy; about half the cases are caused by diabetes. Many people with HIV also have peripheral neuropathy, either caused by the illness itself, or by some of the drugs used in its treatment. While Mr. Senneff's book is not specific to HIV, what has been learned about how to relieve neuropathy due to diabetes or other causes may be helpful for persons with HIV as well.
Some of the treatments discussed are:
There are also discussions of over a dozen experimental drugs, not listed in this review.
A chapter on Coping includes exercise, arranging for comfort during sleep, finding comfortable shoes, and miscellaneous hints on clothing and other items.

Disability Benefits: New Law Will Help Disabled Return to Workby John S. James
We asked benefits expert Tom McCormack of T2CANN (Title II Community AIDS National Network) to outline some of the provisions of this legislation, the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (a bipartisan law which was signed by President Clinton on December 17, 1999).
He noted that the most important changes will need approval by each state. But three which will apply to all states are:
A very important provision will require a decision to participate by each state. Alaska, California, Iowa, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, South Carolina, Vermont, and Wisconsin already give Medicaid to working, still-fully-disabled persons earning up to about $43,000, under the old law (all states could do so if they chose to). The new law will allow all states to cover them but also cover the formerly disabled (those who were disabled under Social Security, but then were ruled no longer disabled during a review -- but who are still likely to have special medical needs) and some but not all states can also cover the pre-disabled (those who have medical conditions which could later result in disability, such as those who are "only" HIV+). Also, the new law will allow states to have even higher income and asset levels for these programs.
[Note: Unfortunately the new law does not affect private disability insurance. With private insurance, it can be difficult to return to work without permanently losing disability insurance -- a serious problem if it turns out that one is unable to continue working. "Almost all cases involving private disability insurance must be individually pre-negotiated," according to McCormack, "building on whatever rudimentary provisions the policy might have on return-to-work and vocational rehabilitation issues -- to develop a workable work-return plan that includes protection for continued benefits, or the reinstatement of benefits, should the work effort collapse because of medical problems. This can only be done case-by-case for each individual by expert attorneys or other skilled benefits advocates, because policy provisions are so different."]
For more in-depth information, request a summary of the new law, an advocacy kit for getting your state to add Medicaid coverage of the disabled (including the "pre-disabled" and the "ex-disabled"), and a copy of "Returning to Work and Keeping Medicare and Medicaid" from Tom McCormack, send a message to email@example.com.
Also, attorneys and other benefits advocates can subscribe to a free non-profit email discussion group on benefits and other legal issues. To subscribe, send a message to email@example.com; you will receive a brief questionnaire which must be returned for your subscription to be approved.

The most famous Tarzan of them all - former swimmer Johnny Weismuller (Tarzan) with Cheetah, John Sheffield (boy) and Maureen O'Sullivan (Jane) in the 1936 film Tarzan Escapes. Weissmuller was a superb athlete, winning five Olympic gold medals for swimming and one bronze medal for water polo. He also set 67 world records. He's considered the greatest Tarzan and played him in 12 movies. His character's distinctive jungle cry is still often used in films.

Here is the brother I was talking about in the description for Robot that I submitted two days ago. This is Gart, and he is as you can tell a very arrogant, mean natured robot that likes to tease and overpower his brother. This lesson today will show you "how to draw Gart", step by step. Gart is what I would call the "manager" of Blinking Light factory because he actually runs the place for his father. From what I understand Gart is a guy that likes to boss people around just because he can. He also likes it when he feels superior to everyone including his own brother. Gart should be an easy draw since all he is made up of is circles. If you like Robot and Monster that airs on Nickelodeon, than you should enjoy this lesson. I will be back so stay tuned in. Peace out people, and GET BACK TO WORK!

Drawing hearts can often lead you to become infatuated with the idea for a while. That is why I have this lesson on another tattoo style heart called "how to draw a heart muscle", step by step. I didn't know what else to name this tut because it is obviously a heart that has the texture and look of a muscle. The torn skin and tendons across the muscle makes this concept drawing of a heart look almost realistic. This is how I picture a heart would look beneath the surface. Of course I'm speaking on imaginative terms. Although drawing a heart muscle may look complicated, I assure you, there will be no way that you won't succeed because all you have to do is follow the steps. You can design this heart any way you like. I won't be back because that does it for me for at least a few hours. I shall return later in the pm. Peace folks and remember, no matter where the day takes you, at least it takes you to another living day.

Best & Worst 2009: The attempted strangling of RP
Worst obviously because those crazy bitches could have hurt him, undeterred by the piss poor security, and best obviously because for those of us who are endlessly amused by the Twi-Hardery, this was some funny sh-t. Many of you were initially skeptical about all that hatemail – when you are sane, it's difficult to imagine the behaviour of those who are very much not sane.
But then a few of them tried to strangle Robert Pattinson in New York while he was shooting Remember Me. And that pretty much took care of the doubt. They are F-CKED. You would have to be, non?
Hi Robert. Can you still get it up if I'm strangling you?

The U.S. Justice Department has escalated its approach to so-called sanctuary cities, writing at least eight jurisdictions Friday to put them on notice they could be failing to cooperate with immigration authorities.
Alan Hanson, the acting assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's grant-making arm, warned the cities that they're required to submit proof that they comply with federal immigration law.
"Failure to comply with this condition could result in the withholding of grant funds, suspension or termination of the grant, ineligibility for future ... grants, or other action, as appropriate," Hanson wrote.
The places receiving the letters include Chicago, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Miami, Milwaukee, New York and Sacramento, Calif.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has adopted a hard line on immigration, dating to his time in the U.S. Senate. Sessions links immigration to a variety of social problems, including what he calls a rise in crime.
In a statement accompanying the letters to sanctuary cities, the Justice Department said "many of these jurisdictions are also crumbling under the weight of illegal immigration and violent crime."
While murders and other violence are on the rise in some major cities, most scholars have concluded that crime remains near historic lows and that immigrants commit fewer crimes than U.S.-born citizens.
The Justice Department statement blasted New York for gang murders there, labeling them "the predictable consequence of the city's 'soft on crime' stance."
New York's murder tally is one of the lowest in the nation, according to data collected by the FBI. A spokesman for the New York Police Department, J. Peter Donald, responded on Twitter: "Did DOJ really say the NYPD is soft on crime?"
Later, Police Commissioner James O'Neill issued a statement pointing out that last year, New York experienced fewer shootings than since the city had started keeping records. To argue otherwise, as the U.S. Justice Department has done, "demonstrates a willful disregard of the facts," O'Neill said.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio also weighed in, telling President Trump that if he believes New York is soft on crime, "then I invite him to come to NYC, look our officers in the eye and tell them."
President Trump and Attorney General Sessions must immediately decide if they stand by the statement that the NYPD is "soft on crime."— Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) April 21, 2017
In response, the Justice Department said the issue was the city's policies, not law enforcement officers:
"Unfortunately, the Mayor's policies are hamstringing the brave NYPD officers that protect the city, and only serve to endanger the lives of the hard working men and women of the NYPD who care more about keeping their city and country safe than they do about city hall politics."
In California, Attorney General Xavier Becerra said his state has a "right to determine how it will provide for the safety and general welfare of its residents and to safeguard their constitutional rights."
Becerra added: "Fearmongering and falsehoods will not intimidate our state into compromising our values. Federal threats to take away resources from law enforcement or our people in an attempt to bully states and localities into carrying out the new administration's unsound deportation plan are reckless and jeopardize public safety."
Earlier this week, Justice Department veterans warned that a tough approach to jurisdictions that refuse to follow federal immigration and marijuana laws could hurt community partnerships.
"I think it's cause for concern," said Miriam Krinsky, a former federal prosecutor who now works with newly elected district attorneys and state attorneys. "With federal money moving forward, there could be the potential for federal strings to be attached."
Sessions, who is touring the Southwest border this week, told MSNBC that most cities are cooperating. "We're pleading with the cities, let's don't have a fight over this," Sessions said earlier Friday. "So I hope we don't end into a fight, but we're perfectly willing to do whatever I can to ensure that we have the kind of unified effort that protects America."
Here in the United States, the Justice Department is putting more pressure on what are sometimes called sanctuary cities. Officials have sent letters to eight cities that receive millions of dollars in law enforcement grants, and they are demanding proof that those cities comply with U.S. immigration law. NPR's Carrie Johnson reports.
CARRIE JOHNSON, BYLINE: If cities fail to provide proof they're helping federal immigration authorities, the U.S. Justice Department could try to claw back old grant money or put cities on a blacklist that makes them ineligible to win new federal dollars. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who's touring the southwest border this week, explained his thinking on MSNBC.
JEFF SESSIONS: I would say to the leaders of these cities, please review what you're doing. I say to the voters in those cities, ask your leadership why it is that they don't want to remove dangerous criminals from your community and cooperate with federal law enforcement and why federal law enforcement should cooperate with cities that don't cooperate with them.
JOHNSON: The new Justice Department letters went out to these cities - Chicago, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Miami, Milwaukee, New York and Sacramento. Sessions says it's, quote, "unthinkable" to him that some cities won't cooperate, and he's giving them a deadline at the end of June.
SESSIONS: So I hope we don't end into a fight, but we're perfectly willing to do whatever I can to ensure that we have the kind of unified effort that protects America.
JOHNSON: Sessions links immigration to a host of social problems, including what he calls a rise in crime. While murders and violence are up in some big cities like Chicago, overall crime remains near historic lows. Criminologists point out studies that suggest immigrants commit fewer crimes than U.S.-born citizens. The clash between the feds and local police worries some law enforcement veterans. Miriam Krinsky is a former Justice Department lawyer.
MIRIAM KRINSKY: It's creating a very difficult scenario because within any community, federal agencies and state and local agencies know each other. And they're used to cooperating with each other, and they trust each other. Those relationships of trust have built up over years.
JOHNSON: It won't take much, she says, for those bonds to fray. Carrie Johnson, NPR News, Washington.
Now a correction. Yesterday we reported that the Chinese government had quickly granted Ivanka Trump new trademark rights for her fashion line, and we referred to her as a paid adviser to her father. That's not correct. Ivanka Trump is an adviser to the president, but she is not taking a salary for that work.

Employees at Market Basket stores�in MetroWest are supporting Arthur T. Demoulas' decision not to accept an offer to help run the embattled grocery chain, saying the ousted former CEO needs to regain full control of the company before they will be on board.
"The motto is 'he goes, we go,'" said Joe Cordoniz, a front-end manger at Market Basket in Hudson.
Like Demoulas himself, Cordoniz and other local Market Basket employees didn't put much faith in an offer made Friday�by three of the company's board�members for�Demoulas and his former team to return and help bring�stores back to normal operations. Demoulas rejected the deal, saying through a spokeswoman the board just wants him to right the company so they can sell it.
"I don't agree with their offer.�I knew nobody would," said Joe Angelari, store manager at Market Basket in Ashland. "The bottom line is Arthur T. has to have full control of the company. It's what we've been saying since day one."
Angelari said he thinks the board members' proposal was more posturing than anything else.
"I honestly feel they were just throwing that out there on a Friday afternoon at 5:30 p.m. because the governor had come out with a statement at 2:30 p.m.," he said, referring to Gov. Deval Patrick's letter to Market Basket's board of directors urging for a resolution to the current dispute.
In�their own response Saturday, members of�the board said "business negotiations should not prevent our associates from earning a living�or our�customers from buying groceries."
"Let's end the hostage-taking and get together to work at finding common ground," the statement said. "We are ready (to) meet, anytime, anywhere."
Market Basket employees, who have rallied behind the popular Demoulas since his firing in June, continued to protest outside the chain's stores in MetroWest Saturday. There were few customers inside, as patrons continued their own boycott of the company.
"It's scary," Angelari said of the situation. "Everyone is nervous about what's in the future. We know the future is bright if Arthur T. comes back."
Cordoniz said morale remains high at the Hudson store, however, where several employees stood outside with signs calling for Demoulas' return.
"We know we're doing what we believe in," he said.
Now they're just waiting for what Cordoniz�described as the board's�real offer.
"I believe the right offer's out there. They know what the right thing to do is," he said. "There shouldn't be any hitches or fine print to it."

The range of property for sale in Phuket is staggering. Once the nationwide property boom hit the island paradise, the market rocketed from its humble beginnings to swathes of ultra-top-end accommodation, rapidly becoming a 'something-for-everyone' market. This can include anything from a small studio apartment with basic fixtures and fittings to penthouse suites with breath-taking beach views.
The choice of rental property deals available also reflect the new-found affluence of the island, with a good choice of villas and condominiums in prime locations on offer. Two of the four marinas on the island also offer luxurious and striking accommodation for sale and rent, with idyllic views and immediate beach and leisure activity access.

I smoked for about 30 years and I quit smoking cold turkey in 1993. After three days, my wife noted the "rattling" had gone from my chest while I was sleeping. I could also take a deep breath with no pain nor coughing. I thought of smoking for a while and even liked being around people smoking as it smelled good. After a couple of months, people smoking really irritated my sinuses. Now, if anyone smokes, I can smell the pungent odor of their breath and clothing across the room.
I swore I would never harass anyone who smokes and I still abide by that today. There's enough information available about smoking without my adding any warnings.
I will encourage anyone to stop smoking that wants and can guarantee only one thing: "It won't be easy but it'll be worth it!"
Good luck,

Crews with Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office rescued two Labrador mix puppies in the rubble in Port St. Joe in Florida's Panhandle.
Deputies searched for but couldn't find the owner of the puppies.
Authorities gave the tiny puppies a bath and lots of hugs.
The puppies will be brought back to Big Dog Ranch Rescue for adoption.
The sheriff's office has a team in Bay County, helping law enforcement with curfews and other duties as needed.

I know what I did this summer
Short checklist for a short season
On the calendar, summer ends officially at midnight on September 21.
In your heart, you know summer ends with Labor Day.
Hey, it was fun while it lasted, right?
As New Englanders know all too well, summer here is a bit like vacation itself: keenly anticipated, relished madly, and over too quickly.
Oh, sure, people in Florida and San Diego have summer vacations, too.
But theirs are not longed for as the distant payoff to shoveling out a driveway full of snow in February.
In fact, when it comes to summer, I will always contend that New Englanders have the worst deal in America.
Think about it.
New England has some of the worst weather in the nation in terms of snow and cold for nearly half the year. At the same time, once the warm weather does come, it has some of the most extraordinary geographical variety in terms of recreation: oceans, lakes, rivers, islands, forests, mountains—all within a day's drive or less in any one direction.
So much to enjoy. And so little time to enjoy it.
Yes, some of those places are fun to enjoy in winter, too.But quick—would you rather be ice-fishing right now, or holding a cold drink and a good book, feet up, while watching the sun set over Vineyard Sound?
I thought so.
Summer is, alas, a short window for New Englanders.
Even shorter in the region's northern reaches. A sage Vermonter once described his state's calendar year as, "Nine months of winter, and three months of pretty poor sledding."
Ain't it the truth.
But God how we look forward to those few, precious "poor sledding" months.
What New Englander doesn't have his or her own treasured checklist for summer?
And to some extent, who doesn't gauge how good a summer was by how many items on that list got checked off by Labor Day?
Me? My list has changed over the years, especially with the advent of kids and a family of my own. (And it goes without saying that if one is lucky enough to have a job and a decent vacation, that in itself is a boon to summer.)
Nowadays, there are three or four "gotta do" items on my family's summer list.
We go camping for a few days early in the summer. We go for a longer vacation in August. We have to make it to at least one Pawtucket Red Sox game. (Where, I'm happy to report, we found none of the chaos and dysfunction that's roiled their parent club.) And we have to sit by the water and eat lobster rolls at our favorite spot on Cape Ann, the Lobster Pool in Rockport.
But those are the locked-in items on the list. The more free-floating but no less longed-for rituals include far more simpler seasonal delights. Like eating the occasional meal together outside; reading the morning paper in the quiet of first light on the screen porch; or ambling down the street with the kids after dinner and spotting fireflies as we make our way back in the dusk.
Which is sort of where we are now.
Because in its way, Labor Day really is dusk to the too-short day that is summer in New England.
Hope you got most of your list in.

Dr. Annie Dandavati, professor of political science and director of international studies at Hope College, will present the address "Catching Flies with Honey" on Tuesday, April 19, at 7 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Dandavati will be speaking through the "Last Lecture Series" organized by the college's Alcor chapter of the national Mortar Board honorary society to feature members of the faculty. The chapter will give away copies of the book "Say You're One of Them," by Uwem Akpan, to the first 50 in attendance.
The title of the lecture series, which the chapter initiated during the 2008-09 school year, is rhetorical. The lectures are not literally presented as the last that the speakers will deliver at Hope, but are meant to highlight the advice that they would most want to share if the event was indeed the final opportunity for them to address the college's students. The professors are being asked to reflect on their careers and lives, and to think deeply about what matters to them and about what wisdom they would like to impart.
The concept was inspired by the "Last Lecture" delivered at CarnegieMellonUniversity by Dr. Randy Pausch on Sept. 18, 2007. Pausch, a member of the Carnegie Mellon faculty who had terminal pancreatic cancer -- a fact known at the time that he spoke -- presented "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." He died on July 25, 2008, at age 47.
Dandavati has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1992, and was appointed director of the international studies major this past fall. From 2007 to 2010, she served as director of women's studies at the college. Among other activity at Hope, she currently serves as faculty moderator.
Dandavati has led or co-led study-abroad programs to nations including Mexico, Chile and Rwanda, and in the fall of 2009 served as the college's exchange professor to Meiji Gakuin University in Japan. Her areas of interest in both research and teaching include comparative politics, Latin American politics, gender and development, and human rights.
Her publications include the books "The Women's Movement and the Transition to Democracy in Chile" (1996) and "Engendering Democracy in Chile" (2004). She is also author of the chapter "Women and the Reconstruction of Chilean Democracy," included in the book "Democratization and the Protection of Human Rights Challenges and Contradictions" (1998). She has also written many articles and papers for presentation at professional conferences in the U.S. and abroad.
In 1997, the college's graduating class presented Dandavati with the Hope Outstanding Professor Educator (H.O.P.E.) Award, and she also presented the college's Commencement address in 1997. In 2004 she received the college's Multicultural Life Award and Outstanding Hope Woman Award, and in January of this year she received a "Ruth and John Reed Faculty Achievement Award" from the college.
Born in India, she holds her bachelor's degree from Jesus and Mary College, her master's from Jawahar Lal Nehru University, and her doctorate from the University of Denver.
Mortar Board is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and service, and provides opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to college and universities, and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. Since its founding in 1918, the organization has grown from the four founding chapters to 228 collegiate chapters with nearly 250,000 initiated members across the nation.
The Alcor chapter has existed at Hope since the 1936-37 academic year, although it did not become part of the national Mortar Board organization until 1961. During the 2010 Mortar Board National Conference in July, the chapter received the organization's highest honor for a collegiate chapter, the Ruth Weimer Mount Chapter Excellence Award. The chapter also received eight "Project Excellence Awards," including for the Last Lecture Series.
The chapter also sponsored a "last chance talk" during the 1960s. The idea back then was to invite a faculty member to express his/her ideas under the hypothetical assumption that this would be the last opportunity to address the student body. The late Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, professor of philosophy, delivered the first "last chance talk" in the spring of 1962.
The Maas Center is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More American mothers are staying at home with their children, a shift that reflects rising immigration and the fact many women are unable to find jobs after a sluggish period for the U.S. economy, a Pew analysis released on Tuesday showed.
Twenty-nine percent of U.S. mothers, or about 10.4 million women, stayed at home in 2012. That is up from a low of 23 percent in 1999, and marks a turnaround from three decades of decline.
The category of stay-at-home mothers with children under 18 includes women who are at home to care for their families and mothers who cannot find work, are disabled or in school, the Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data said.
Six percent of stay-at-home mothers, or about 634,000 people, said they were home with their children in 2012 because they could not find a job. That share is six times larger than it was in 2000.
The U.S. economy's slow recovery from the recession of 2007-2009 lead many Americans to give up looking for work, a trend that has changed over the past six months as people regain confidence in the job market.
The Pew analysis underscores women's declining share of the U.S. work force. Labor Department numbers show that 57.2 percent of women have a job or are looking for one, down just over 2 percentage points in a decade.
"With incomes stagnant in recent years for all but the college-educated, less educated workers in particular may weigh the cost of child care against wages and decide it makes more economic sense to stay home," the Pew analysis said.
The rising share of stay-at-home mothers also could be caused by the increasing number of immigrants, who made up 13 percent of Americans in the 2010 U.S. census.
A third of stay-at-home mothers are immigrants while immigrants make up only one in five working mothers.
Well over half of Asian and Hispanic women are immigrants, and stay-at-home Asian and Hispanic mothers are far more likely to have a working husband than whites or blacks, the analysis said.
About two in five mothers at home were younger than 35, compared with 35 percent of working mothers. Forty-nine percent have a high school diploma or less, compared with 30 percent of working mothers.
Fifty-one percent of mothers at home are white, compared with 60 percent of those who are working.
About two-thirds of stay-at-home mothers are married with working husbands, down from 85 percent in 1970 as U.S. marriage rates have fallen and the number of single mothers has risen, the analysis said.

LOS ANGELES, CA (September 24, 2013) – Army Wives, Lifetime's longest-running series, will not return after recently wrapping its historic seven-season run on the network. To honor the ABC Studios-produced series, Lifetime is planning a two-hour retrospective special with cast members that will air early next year.
Regarding the announcement, Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Lifetime, said, "There is no denying how special Army Wives has been to both Lifetime and the television landscape. By taking on a very relevant and timely issue, it has brilliantly captured the challenges our military families endure and the bravery they and their loved ones display while serving our country."
He added, "It has been an honor to be the home of Army Wives. We also want to thank Army Wives' passionate legion of fans and everyone involved with the series: ABC Studios, Mark Gordon and Jeff Melvoin, Tanya Biank, every single cast member, as well as the crew and community of Charleston, South Carolina. Without their dedication, effort and loyalty, Army Wives' seven wonderful seasons would not have been possible; and for that we are very grateful."
Army Wives, which follows the struggles, dreams and friendships of a diverse group of women living with their spouses and families on an active Army post, has starred Catherine Bell, Kim Delaney, Sally Pressman, Wendy Davis, Brigid Brannagh, Kelli Williams, Brian McNamara, Sterling K. Brown, Brooke Shields, Ashanti, Torrey DeVitto, Elle McLemore, Jesse McCartney, Terry Serpico, Drew Fuller, Alyssa Diaz, J.J. Soria, Joshua Henry and Burgess Jenkins, among others. Produced by ABC Studios, with Mark Gordon and Jeff Melvoin executive producing, it is based on the book Under the Sabers: The Unwritten Code of Army Wives by Tanya Biank, who served as a consultant. The series was created by Katherine Fugate.
The drama has received numerous accolades, including two Gracie Awards from the Alliance for Women in Media, a Sentinel for Health Award from the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism's Norman Lear Center, as well as numerous NAACP Image Award, NAMIC Award and Prism Award nominations, to name a few.
ABC Studios is a leader in the development, production and strategic distribution of entertainment content across broadcast and emerging digital platforms. The studio is the key content provider for the ABC Entertainment Group, having produced multiple seasons of hit series, including "Scandal," "Once Upon A Time," "Grey's Anatomy," "Desperate Housewives," "Lost," "Castle" and "Revenge"; as well as "Army Wives" for Lifetime and "Criminal Minds" for CBS. These hit series have supplied the company's distribution pipelines worldwide with programming and related product lines. ABC Studios will continue to produce memorable television programming for the 2013-14 television season, including eight new series for ABC, the summer series "Mistresses"; along with "Perception" on TNT, "Cougar Town" on TBS, "Devious Maids" on Lifetime, and "Intelligence," premiering on CBS next season.

…conventional wisdom says not to judge a book by its cover…how about not judging a reader by the cover of the book he/she is reading from? …Intrigued?..read on, this excellent offering from Cynthia…
Masculist Revolution…from Cynthia St.Pierre and Melodie Campbell
Nowadays parents accept sons playing in miniature kitchens. Maks Chmerkovskiy of Dancing with the Stars makes it hot and cool at the same time to be a male ballroom dancer. What about male freedom of choice in the book domain? Surely there's no need for a man to purchase a faux-leather cover to disguise a Maeve Binchy novel? Um, maybe. Here's the game changer. Not if he's reading an e-book. E-books are the soul of discretion.
Of course there are brave souls out there who openly read whatever they want. A handsome male friend of mine who originally hales from Peru read the paperback version of A Purse to Die For, the mystery I co-wrote with Melodie Campbell. He did not hesitate to tell me he loved it and that it reminded him of the Hércule Poirot novels he devoured as a kid.
David Coles, co-author of action-packed thriller The Diamond Seekers, wrote a positive Amazon customer review of A Purse to Die For saying of Purse that it "introduced me to the somewhat different perspective that women have on life—and fashion—and the opposite sex."
What I'm getting at is despite the mention of an essential item of women's apparel in the title and the sweet—ignoring the body outline and the blood splatter of course—chic lit cover, some members of the opposite sex are reading and enjoying our traditional amateur sleuth mystery.
Would you hesitate to read A Purse to Die For in its paperback glory? What about in e-book format?
I could always encourage you by sending you to the website www.realmenreadwomen.com.
With open arms, Melodie and I welcome 100% of the population to read our first novel, not just 49.8% of the female persuasion. Yes, as of 2012, men slightly outnumber women around the globe.
And if you like what you read, men, Melodie and I have more murders, more suspects and more women's accessories to die for coming!
Vive la révolution!

1 cup of corn starch
1 + 1/2 cups of castor sugar
2 tbsp cocoa
2 eggs
1 pack of margarine or butter (8.8 oz)
1 pack of vanilla
1 pack of baking powder
1 pinch of salt
and sifted flour, as much as the mixture gets in
"for the upper side; 1 tablespoonful coconut"
6 - 7 diced dried apricots
and 1 cup of thickly beaten walnut
Im beginning by breaking the eggs
Ive 2 eggs, the eggs must be washed
Ive 1 pack of margarine, equal to 8.8 oz...
it is softened at room temperature
1 cup of castor sugar
after adding the castor sugar
Im mixing it by fingertips
yes, as you can see it is homogenous now
Ive 1 cup of corn starch
Im adding it also, Im especially using the starch of the corn
because, the wheat starch makes the cookies harder
Im adding 2 tbsp of cocoa
Im adding the vanilla also
Ive added the cocoa before the flour, by this way it lays homogenously in the mixture
and gives its color properly
it has given its color in a nice way
now Im adding 1 pinch of salt
salt increases the taste of the sweet products
sifted flour, as much as the mixture gets in
Im adding it also
Ive placed the baking powder over the flour
to prevent it from touching to the mixture directly
Ill be kneading the mixture by adding flour little by little in it
until it stops to stick my hands, but it must not be too hard
this is the consistency that we want to reach
Ill rest the dough for about 10 minutes after covering it
Ive rested it for a short time, now it is time to shape it
it may soften while it is resting
especially at hot weather
I may add some flour and knead it again
the consistency of the dough is ideal now
now, Ill roll it out, until it reaches to the size of the baking tray
after rolling it for a while, then I will shape it by fingertips to make it reach tray size
ok, it is enough, I may shape it in the tray from now on
Im placing it into the greased baking tray
Im shaping it by fingertips, it will take the shape of the tray
Ive placed the dough into the tray firmly
I have 1 cup of thickly beaten walnut as an upper side ingredient
firstly, Im sprinkling it all over
beating it thickly, pleases you while eating these cookies
but, you can beat it more thinly also
I have some dried apricots also, Im sprinkling them all over also
you can use chocolate pieces instead
even, you can use granulated sugar, if you like that crispy feeling while eating cookies
as you know, there is no limits at recipes!
finally I have coconut
Im sprinkling it also
Im laying those heaps all over homogenously
it seems delicious already now
Im forcing over this layer to make those ingredients
stay together with the dough
you can use a small rolling pin for this process also
after laying all the upper side ingredients by this way
Im slicing it into rectangular shaped pieces
if you come across to walnut pieces, they may affect the smooth shape of your pieces
Im keeping on cutting it now
that goes without saying, you may use a knife
in a very short time, we have prepared very stylish biscuits
and delicious needless to say
Mütevazı Lezzetler never negotiates about flavor
now Im placing the tray into the oven that is preheated to 374 F for a long time, it is really hot now
Ill bake them for just 10 minutes
then Ill remove them from the oven
the biscuits are removed from the oven, Ive rested them for 20 minutes to solidify and cool them down
they seem great
and they are delicious
Rectangular Biscuits with Walnut
we have shared an honoring recipe from the cuisine of Mutevazi Lezzetler
I hope that you will bake and share with your friends
Bon Appetite! Afiyet Olsun!

[February 07, 2014]
Send a link to a friend
By 9 o'clock, students from
the other classes began filing in to see the display of collections and
to play games.
One game included jars filled
with various items, pieces of Styrofoam, clothespins, buttons and
brightly colored pom-poms. One container, and one only,
contained 100 pieces. Children were to try to guess which
container held exactly 100 pieces. They then wrote their
answers on pieces of paper and placed them in brightly colored bags
next to the jars. The correct guess would be revealed later in
the day.

Harvey recovers while Mets prepare for season
Star pitcher may stay behind in Florida when club returns to New York
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Nothing in Matt Harvey's appearance betrayed him. He looked like any other Mets pitcher on the eve of the team's first spring workout, clad head to toe in royal blue athletic gear. He spoke with his hands clasped in front of him, relaxed, apparently at ease.
But make no mistake: Harvey was pained.
"It's hard seeing all the guys, seeing them put their uniforms on and realizing that Spring Training is going to go a little differently this year," Harvey said Sunday. "Today has definitely been a little bit of a struggle."
This was the day Harvey did not want to face back in September, back when he was wrangling with the decision of whether to undergo Tommy John surgery -- all but ending his 2014 season, said the doctors -- or to attempt to defy the medical odds and rehab his partially-torn right ulnar collateral ligament.
At the time, Harvey was Superman, or at least Batman if a national magazine cover had any say in it. He was leading the league in strikeouts with a 2.27 ERA, establishing himself as a leading candidate for the National League Cy Young award. His girlfriend was a Russian supermodel. He partied with celebrities in Manhattan. He seemed as close to invincible as any athlete can.
But he was fallible, as it turns out, and slowly Harvey came to grips with the realization that his most prudent strategy was to undergo surgery. So he did.
"I needed that time to make the decision and make sure that it was the right one, and the one that I wanted to go with," Harvey said. "I'm happy that I did things on my own time. Mentally moving forward, I think that was a big thing for me to do."
Up in the Mets' front office, the news of Harvey's injury was not overly shocking. Though no one expected Harvey's meteoric rise -- it was not so long ago that many scouts considered him a No. 2 starter at best -- to end so rapidly, the Mets knew that even baseball's best pitchers are ticking time bombs when it comes to their various capsules, labrums and ligaments.
So rather than sulk, the Mets mapped out a plan to replace Harvey and augment the organization's pitching depth.
"You can't curl up in a corner and just pretend it didn't happen," said Mets assistant general manager John Ricco. "I remember that first day. My main reaction was disappointment. But while it's not like I was expecting it to happen, I wasn't shocked that it happened."
If the gravity of the injury didn't fully sink in for anyone at the time, it will for Harvey now. Over the next six weeks, the 24-year-old will rehab in Port St. Lucie while his teammates participate in more intensive baseball drills around the complex. Harvey initially said that he would like to start throwing on Feb. 22, the four-month anniversary of his operation, but he admitted Sunday that such timetables are not in his hands. And that's the sort of thing that could be thorny for Harvey, who seemed to bull his way into national prominence last year through sheer force of will.
Admitting his physical limitations will be difficult. Understanding that he cannot alter his rehab plan, even when he feels wonderful, will be excruciating. Potentially waiting until next year to return, even if he feels capable of pitching in September, could be tough.
"I've come to the realization that I have to listen to them and I can't push too much," Harvey said. "There's going to be a time where I can do that, and that'll probably be later down the road. Right now, I've got to take things slow and do what they say and just make sure we have no setbacks."
Toughest of all might be what happens in April, when the Mets ship up north and perhaps leave Harvey behind. Though Harvey lives full time in the East Village and wants to rehab at home if he can, most of the Mets' rehab staff works in Port St. Lucie. Ricco said he was unsure where Harvey will spend the bulk of his summer, but there's a chance it may be away from Citi Field, miles from his teammates.
One of Harvey's teammates, Dillon Gee, recalls mostly avoiding Mets games when he was seriously injured two years ago, simply because he could not stomach being so removed from them. While one half of Gee wanted to support and root on his friends, the other half smoldered.
"You're a part of the team, but at the same time you're not," Gee said. "That's tough to take. When you watch the games, that just makes you miss it that much more."
Harvey will miss the Mets in that way, and the Mets will miss Harvey. They signed 40-year-old Bartolo Colon to replace him in the rotation, and they have high hopes both for him and a cadre of far younger pitchers. But they also know that even a superb season from Colon, or a breakout from someone else, will not completely cover for what they lost.
What the Mets lost will be working his way back to the Majors, swallowing his pride, searching for what he seized so quickly and desperately wants back.

ROCHESTER — OK, so it's not the Bruins vs. the Canadiens.
But it's for as good cause and the ice hockey, according to at least one report, is getting better.
The sixth annual Rochester Police vs. Fire Charity Ice Hockey Game will take place Friday night at the Rochester Ice Arena. There is no admission. All that is asked of fans is that they bring non-perishable food items to be donated to Gerry's Food Pantry.
Doors open at 6 p.m. and the game kicks off at 6:45 p.m. with the ceremonial police chief-fire chief puck drop. The police lead the lead the series 5-0.
"It's gotten bigger," said game organizer Steve Gahan. a Rochester Police Detective. "It's more in line with a legit game."
Numbers have increased on both sides, although, Gahan added, the talent level ranges from never played to advanced. There is no hitting, which keeps a recreational flair. Gahan added that people do have to get up and go to work the next day.
Last year Gahan said the event raised several hundred pounds of food that filled a side room at the arena.
"We're hoping to do the same this year," Gahan said.
He added, "Yes, we have a 5-0 lead. The fire department doesn't like to admit that."

NEW YORK - The free agency frenzy doesn't begin until March 12.
Tell that to general managers who have begun flooding the market with veterans they have cut - guys who can sign with any team at any time.
Joining that group Friday were such former Pro Bowl players John Abraham and Michael Turner, released by Atlanta along with cornerback Dunta Robinson.
Also available is 2009 Defensive Player of the Year Charles Woodson; the Green Bay Packers let the defensive back go last month.
While players whose contracts have expired can't change addresses for another 11 days, the so-called "street free agents" now out there can joins teams immediately. That's already happened with former Buffalo safety George Wilson, who signed with the Titans, and it certainly could occur again before the likes of Mike Wallace, Jake Long, Reggie Bush and Greg Jennings on offense or Dwight Freeney, Anthony Spencer, Paul Kruger and Cliff Avril on defense become available.
Wilson was coveted by Tennessee for reasons that stretch beyond the field, and Woodson also could fall into that category. Listen to what Titans general manager Ruston Webster says about Wilson, who twice was Buffalo's Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee:
"George is a quality veteran player. He will contribute for us on the field, but his contributions also will come off the field, in the locker room and in the meetings rooms. He was respected as a football player and a leader during his career in Buffalo, and he will bring that veteran presence to our team."
The 36-year-old Woodson would be a nice fit in a young secondary needing a boost of savvy and physicality, most likely as a safety. Such landing spots as New England, Cleveland and Indianapolis could work.
Abraham has a history of nagging injuries and he'll most likely be a situational pass rusher at age 35 next season. Still, any club looking for such a boost could do worse than Abraham, who had 10 sacks as a part-timer when the Falcons went 13-3 last year.
Turner no longer seems capable of being an every-down back, but his power and quick feet could help a team that has an established starter but no proven backup. Or an offense with a speedy running back and not much inside presence.
Oft-injured Ahmad Bradshaw, late of the Giants, also fits that category. No one competes harder, but that has been a detriment for Bradshaw, too, because his style makes him vulnerable to getting hurt.
Tennessee, Cleveland and Green Bay could find them attractive at the right price.
Ah, price.
A major reason these players are unemployed right now is salary. Atlanta saved about $16 million in cap space with its three cuts Friday. The New York Jets freed up $31 million when they released linebackers Calvin Pace and Bart Scott, safety Eric Smith and tackle Jason Smith last month.
Naturally, there are other factors, including age, health, depth at a position, a change in coaching staffs and, of course, production.
Players such as Packers center Jeff Saturday and Carolina DT Ron Edwards simply might be at the end of the line. Kansas City tight end Kevin Boss got onto the field for only two games in 2012. The Saints' David Thomas was expendable because Jimmy Graham is among the best tight ends around, and New Orleans prefers to load the field with wideouts along with Graham.
Philadelphia released DTs Cullen Jenkins and Mike Patterson when Chip Kelly was hired as coach.
The Jets' Pace and Scott and Chiefs receiver Steve Breaston became overpriced when their on-field contributions slipped dramatically.
Oddly, many of those players currently available figure to be left waiting until weeks into full free agency before they find new homes. Some teams will give out huge bonuses and long-term deals to Jennings, Kruger et al. Then they will seek ways to fit in the others.
And don't be shocked to see a few of the current free agents wind up back where they started - for much less money.

2010 Ceretto Blange Langhe Arneis
Very fresh aromas waft from the glass, and limestone is the first thing to hit the palate. It's even a bit spritzy on the tongue at first. Flavor layers range from well-vinified fruit to underlying sherry. With citrus in the finish, it would be tempting to dismiss this wine as a Sauvignon Blanc-wannabe, but this white has much more muscle, finishing very strongly. Drink with anything from pasta to sausage. Recommended. BSE
