"Team baseball."
Ready for your 2013 Mets season?
I have no idea whether we'll be using the above terms to describe this club six months from now. Yet as the Mets kick off their season against the Padres, we can predict this with confidence: Fans will be just as passionate on Oct. 1 about their franchise player — their top salesman — as they will be today at Citi Field, when David Wright gets serenaded with his new handle.
You might not cherish the upcoming journey. But you'll love your captain.
"Opening Day is already so cool," Wright said yesterday, before the Mets held an "optional" workout (everyone attended, even the tardy Jordany Valdespin) at Citi Field. "But to be kind of introduced as the captain, it's pretty special. … It's obviously a memorable Opening Day for me."
To borrow an old phrase from the Mets' highly paid outfielder Bobby Bonilla ($1,193,248.20 this year), you couldn't wipe the smile off Wright's face as he touted his "scrappy" and "gritty" teammates.
And why not? Everyone is always ready to get the heck out of Florida or Arizona, and the World Baseball Classic made this an even longer spring training than normal.
The news of Johan Santana's season-ending left shoulder injury is devastating; nevertheless, Wright pointed out the rest of the banged-up Mets came out OK. Both he and Daniel Murphy will be in the lineup today, after battling through their intercostal conditions. Shaun Marcum begins the year on the disabled list, but he is scheduled to start next Sunday against the Marlins — we'll see whether that actually happens.
You have to be blinded by optimism to think the 2013 Mets have a legitimate chance at a playoff run. So you buckle in for the longer trip, the multi-year climb toward respectability that will mark progress this year with the anticipated big-league debuts of Travis d'Arnaud and Zack Wheeler, Matt Harvey's first full big-league season and Jon Niese's continuing maturation — commencing today with his first Opening Day start.
And you find hope in Wright, the homegrown star who decided in December to forego a potentially lucrative free agency this coming winter to sign an agreement keeping him around through 2020.
"I've said it before, he's always the first one here and the last one to leave," Niese said. "He has every characteristic of being a captain. He leads this ream very well."
Terry Collins said, "I think if everybody plays the way he plays, and that's the kind of players we have here, then things will be fine."
Unfortunately for Collins and Mets fans, when the team's lame-duck manager mentioned "the kind of players we have here" in reference to Wright, he didn't mean, "Perennial All-Stars with a legitimate chance to make the Hall of Fame." He was referring more to attitude and mental toughness.
Or, going back to Wright's half-glass-full take of this group: "You look up and down our roster, you're not going to see a lot of household names. You're not going to see a lot of flash — sexiness, per se. But I think you've got a room full of guys that don't have those egos, that know how to play team baseball."
We've seen that sort of Mets team in doses each of the prior four seasons, only to lead to mammoth second-half meltdowns.
"We've got to maintain it," Collins said. "The second half this year will probably be maybe the most important part, to make sure we can maintain our start."
Of course, as my Post colleague Dan Martin pointed out, Collins' statement makes the huge leap that the Mets can again put up a great first half — without Santana or the traded R.A. Dickey.
That can be the mantra for these Mets, though: Just go with it.
If you're a fan, go with the notion that Collin Cowgill and Marlon Byrd can be everyday outfielders. That the remade bullpen will protect leads sufficiently. That Marcum will stay upright and provide 30 good starts.
If those concepts don't come to fruition — which is a safe bet — you still will have Wright on the other side. Leading you to better times, he and you hope — and have some reason to believe — in 2014 and beyond.
"Playing in New York, the stage is provided," Wright said. "Now it's time to go out there."
By re-upping and pitching this undermanned club, Wright already has put himself out there. If you aren't buying what he's selling, you surely appreciate the effort.

A Utica man was killed Thursday night after he was shot and then drove into a business building, city police said.
A Utica man was killed Thursday night after he was shot and then drove into a business building, city police said.
Andrew Mateo, 25, was in his car when he got involved in an argument at about 5:30 p.m. with a person on Dickinson Street and the suspect shot him, police said. Dickinson Street runs parallel to Memorial Parkway just north of it off Oneida Street.
Mateo drove away from the scene and headed south on Oneida Street before he lost consciousness, causing the vehicle to veer off in a southwesterly direction and through the Memorial Parkway intersection.
The vehicle then struck the Eric B. Racha Laser Dentistry building at 120 Memorial Parkway. There was no major damage to the structure.
Mateo was taken by a Utica Fire Department ambulance to St. Elizabeth Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Police said there were no suspects in custody as of Friday morning.
Initial reports indicated there may have been a passenger in the vehicle after Mateo drove away from the shooting scene, but police still are investigating that.
The vehicle was removed from the scene late Thursday night.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 223-3510
It was the city's seventh homicide of the year.

The latest Rasmussen poll shows Mitt Romney's support among Republicans at 16 percent. That's double his share from a few months ago. It also surpasses John McCain's share of 15 percent, and puts him within shouting distance of Rudy Giuliani (25 percent).
Romney's surge isn't all that surprising. He's an able and attractive candidate, and (in part for this reason) a very well-funded one.
Romney has also benefited from some good luck. First, the latest round of activity on the immigration front appears to have hurt McCain. I suspect that McCain was always likely to take a hit over this issue and others where he stands outside the mainstream of his party. But it was important to Romney that the hit occur this spring when he, not Fred Thompson, might be the main beneficiary.
This leads to the second and key piece of Romney luck — Fred Thompson's non-entry to date. If Thompson had entered in March when Romney was on the ropes, it might have represented a knock-out blow. Instead, Romney has had a three-month window in which to make his case as the conservative candidate in the field. Although it's far from clear that Romney has obtained that status, there can be no doubt that he's made substantial headway.
JOHN adds: The McCain people are touting a new set of polls by American Research Group that include independents who are likely to participate in Republican primaries or caucuses. The results are interesting; with independents included, ARG still has McCain leading in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
In principle, I'm not crazy about allowing non-members of a party to vote in that party's primary. McCain risks getting identified as the favorite Republican candidate of people who aren't Republicans, an image that I think hurt him in 2000. But you take your votes where you can find them, and if McCain does well in the early primaries with the help of independents, the dynamics of the race will change.

A hand-rolled, irregularly large blunt. Has a musical tone to it, so the term is mostly used in that scooby doo song, while looking for it, if it rolled under the couch or something.

I have never posted on these boards although I come to them often for advice. My situation is below. I am really hoping someone can help. I am quite worried about mys on right now and am at a loss.
I am having severe supply problems compounded by a baby that is refusing the bottle (breastmilk or formula) and is on some sort of solids strike with his food
I have been nursing my son for 10 months. All has been great until this past weekend when I got some sort of wicked stomach virus. It was horrible. I will spare you the details but I lost 6 pounds in 3 days and became severely dehydrated. I woke up on Monday to practically no milk.
I was still feeling awful on Monday but on Tuesday when I could choke down some stuff I started doing all I could (pushing water, eating what I could, pumping, fenugreek, milk tea, nursing every 2 hours). My son was certainly still hungry. Fussing at the breast, biting me. I have offered bottle, sippys, cups, medicine droppers and all are met with much anger. He hasn't been willing to take a bottle for the past 5 months. I am shocked that he still isn't though because everyone said...let him get hungry enough.....
I have spoken with the LC at my doctors office and she said to give it till today before we do anything else. Well, here we are and I woke up pretty empty again. On top of it, I weigh my son periodically (we have a scale from the beginning days of breastfeeding) and I had weighed him last week after his morning feed and he was 21 - 10 1/2 and this morning he was 21 - 2.
So, I am freaking out! Do you have any advice? I am calling the doctor today to bring him in for a wellness check and I'm doing another power pumping during his morning nap but I am at a loss. I will be devastated to wean him over this but at the same time I don't even know how to do that because I can't get him to eat anything even though he clearly isn't getting enough.

My son watched his friend Jake fall from the chair lift
A couple weeks ago my son Gunnar went snowboarding in Santa Fe with his friends Dallis and Jake. Jake was in the chair behind Gunnar and Dallis with another friend (I think her name is Breezy). This video footage that you're seeing all over the news was taken by Dallis, and it sounds like Gunnar shouting, "Dude!" I've heard various accounts of how Jake happened to be thrown from the chair, so I won't speculate, but Gunnar says it was Breezy's screaming that alerted him to look back. Breezy tried to help but wasn't strong enough. Jake held on for several towers before he couldn't hold on any longer. He got stitches in his head, a torn liver and a collapsed lung. He was in ICU that Sunday, but by all accounts he is fine now.

The joint statement resulted from a series of consultations among the Jewish leaders, who analyzed the debate in the Ecumenical Ckjuncil at the Vatican on proposals for a declaration ^on relations between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people. The statement stated that, while "the ever increasing contact be¬ tween peoples in the modem world ha.9 created new dimensions in human relations which Jews have welcomed and in which they have fully participated," the Jew now, no less than in the past" "remains steadfast in his historic commit¬ ment, determined to perserve his faith and heritage." The joint statement noted that the Ecumenical Council was "a convocation of the religiotis leader¬ ship of the Catholic Church, con¬ cerned with the problem ot CJiri.<tt- ian unity and the definition of Catholic religious doctrine" and it would therefore "be improper for the Jewish community, which is not a part ot Christianity or its iEcumenical movement, to offer suggestions concerning religious doctrine to this Council. "However, the Jewish leaders continued, " it is to be hoped that the final determination of the Coun¬ cil will contribute to the effective elimination of anti-Semitism and all sources of bigotry and pre¬ judice and will lead to better under¬ standing among all peoples." The Jewish organizations partici¬ pating in the deliberations, which led to the joint statement. under the chairmanship of Label A. Katz; president of B'nai B'rith were: the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, B'nai B'rith, Canadian Jewish Congress, America, Rabbinical Council of America, Union of American He¬ brew Congregations, Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations ot America, United Synagogues of America, World Jewish (ingress, Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Jewish War Vet¬ erans of the United States. The leaders said that the Jewish organizations on five continents affiliated with the World Confer¬ ence of Jewish Organizations which initiated the consultations in New York, would publish the same statement simultaneously in their communities. Immigration Group Challenges Miller's Charges On Laws New York, (jTA)—The American Immigration and Citizenship Con¬ ference strongly criticized this week remarks made by Rep. William E. Miller the Republican vice- presidential nominee, on proposed national immigration law revisions. The nominee's comments were challenged in a letter signed by some 40 religious, welfare, labor and other groups interested jn immigration and refugee problems. The letter also expressed regret thaf "immigration is being made a partisan issue." The nominee said in South Bend, Indiana that proposed revisions would "open the flood gates for virtually any and all who would wish to come and find work in this country" and would "com¬ pletely abolish our selective sys¬ tem" of accepting immigrants. The letter said that the proposed changes would still require immi¬ grants to "pass the rigid selective Jewish Labor Committee, National admission requirements" of the Community Relations Advisory present law and that the "one Council, Rabbinical Assembly f (continued on page 4) 'A HEAVENLY EVENING' THEME FOR TORAH ACADEMY DINNER; COMEDIAN FEATURED "A Heavenly Evenlr.-" is the theme for the fourth annual Torah Academy Dinner, to be presented Sunday, Nov. 8.

TIMES PREDICTS STRONG JEWISH VOTE FOR JOHNSON New York, (JTA)—Samplings of opinion among a wide variety of Jewish Spokesmen and political eioperts indicate that President John.son will receive overwhelming Jewish support in the November dleotion, the New York "Kmes reported this week. The report said that the Presi¬ dent showed reporters at the Demo¬ cratic National Convention last month a poll stating he could expect the support of 97 per cent of Jewish voters. The Times story quoted Jewish organization leaders, rabbis, writers, and party leaders and workers as sustaining the est¬ imates of the preponderant Jewish voter support for the Johnson- Humphrey ticket. The report quoted most obser¬ vers as believing that it would take a miracle or a vast change in world events for Sen. Barry (Jold- water, the Republican nominee, to get even half of the 15 per cent of the Jewish vote which Richard Nixon was estimated to have re¬ ceived as the Republican nominee in 1960 against the late President John F. Kennedy. The Times report said that his¬ torically, Jews have voted consis¬ tently Democratic in national elec¬ tions and Jewish support of Presi¬ dent Johnson is no surprise. What is surprising, the Times reported is the size of the support and its vitality. Among Jewish voters sampled, the sup>port for Sen. Goldwater of racial rightwirig ^oups, some of whose members have also been engaged in anti-Semitic activities, was frequently cited. There is also reported resent¬ ment at the description of the Sen¬ ator as "half-Jewish" h)ecause this assumes that Jewishness is a racial rather than cultural and reUgious factor, the Times repprted.

War Crimes Lawyer Attacked For Saying Hitler Was Innocent Bonn, (JTA)—The assertion by a war crimes defense attorney, Gerd Heinecke. that Hitler had been atwve the law and therefore without guilt in the Nazi wartime slaughter of millions of Jews touched off a storm of protest this week in West Germany. Heinecke made the statement at a Hannover court trial of five former Nazis charged with partici¬ pating in tho massacre of 7,000 Jews in Polish Vlodawa. He asser¬ ted that Hitler believed he was fulfilling a "saa'ed mission" in the destruction of European Jewry and that those who carried out his oi-ders for such killings were not guilty of murder. The official presS service of the Social Democrats the nation's sec¬ ond largest' party, demanded an investigation by the West GeiTnan Bar Association of the attorney. Heifiz Galinski, head of West Berlin's Jewish community and a survivor of Auschwitz, said all who believed in democracy "must take a stand against this infamous statement, this outspoken defense of murder." he added that if West German leaders "remain silent, they should not be surprised at what happens in the future." Justice Ministry officials in Lower Saxony, where Hannover is located, also dissented. They said that the systematic annihilation of racial and national groups by the Nazis was murder, as ruled by niany West German courts, and that those who took part in them could l>e tried for complicity in such killings. A spokesman for the Bar As^ggia- Uon said that defense lawyers could property uje all legal means to defend clients but that if Heinecke had used the court "to publicize his own political views, then he has grossly misused his position." Kurt Rizor, another defense at¬ torney repudiated Heincke's state¬ ments for himself and other defense lawyers, saying "we accept his good will and good intent but we dissociate ourselves from his argu¬ ment.';." Adf'ing that he and the other defense attorneys ijelieved the five fonner Nazis should be acquitted for other reasons, he said he and the other attorneys "reject the idea of twisting patent injustice lo its very opposite by applying for malistic, judicial means." a strong community."

Statement Issued By Jewish Leaders
New York (JTA)—Leaders of major national and Inter¬ national Jewish organizations Issued a joLht "Statement to the Jewish Community" this week expressing the hope that the Ecuir.enical Council, now In session In Rome, would act to "contribute to the effective elimination of anti-Semitism and all sources of bigotry and prejudice" for a "better understanding among all peoples."
The joint statement resulted from a series of consultations among the Jewish leaders, who analyzed the debate in the Ecumenical Ckjuncil at the Vatican on proposals for a declaration ^on relations between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people.
The statement stated that, while "the ever increasing contact be¬ tween peoples in the modem world ha.9 created new dimensions in human relations which Jews have welcomed and in which they have fully participated," the Jew now, no less than in the past" "remains steadfast in his historic commit¬ ment, determined to perserve his faith and heritage."
The joint statement noted that the Ecumenical Council was "a convocation of the religiotis leader¬ ship of the Catholic Church, con¬ cerned with the problem ot CJiri.

Southfield MI 's Elective Bone Grafting
From Bone Grafting To Wisdom Teeth Removal: Dental Procedures From Michigan OMS
From eating and talking to smiling when you meet new people, you need your mouth for a wide range of activities. This means that even minor tooth, jaw, and tongue problems can negatively impact your life.
Michigan OMS in Southfield MI provides a broad selection of elective and medically necessary dental services, including bone grafting, to correct problems. From restoring missing teeth through bone grafting and dental implants to removing impacted wisdom teeth and other ailments that cause pain, we give you the smile and comfort you need to enjoy life again.
Dental Procedures At Michigan OMS: Implants, Bone Grafting, Wisdom Teeth Removal
As a team of dentists with extensive training and experience, Michigan OMS offers an array of maxillofacial and orthognathic dental services.
Chief among these are:
- Dental Implants - As the preferred method for replacing missing teeth, dental implants involve inserting an artificial device that mimics the color and hardness of a real tooth. By implanting that device directly in your jaw, we can incorporate it seamlessly into the rest of your teeth, to the point that you, and people you meet, won't even be able to notice the difference. This restores your smile to the way that it looked before. It also performs at the same level as your as your tooth, allowing you to eat and talk without issue.
- Bone Grafting - While implants can restore the appearance and functionality of your mouth, they only work if the nearby jaw bone is strong and thick enough to hold them intact. If you lose a tooth in an area where your jawbone is thin, it may be necessary to reinforce that area through bone grafting. This involves installing new material in your jaw bone and strengthens it. This creates a stable foundation for future implants. Through strategic bone grafting, we make sure that any work we do to fill in your smile will remain with you for years.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal - Wisdom teeth (your third molars) press against the other teeth in your mouth, driving them into each other and causing severe pain. The longer you let this continue, the more you will suffer and the greater the damage it will cause your mouth. Over time, it can become a major health risk, as tumors may eventually form. Michigan OMS removes wisdom teeth quickly and effectively, minimizing discomfort while protecting the rest of your teeth and preventing severe medical situations.
By using 3D imaging, we can get a clear picture of your mouth, face, and head - allowing us to make your wisdom teeth removal and dental implant more precise.
We also carry the most effective sedatives available. This mean that most complex dental procedures with minimal discomfort. For more information on our dental services or to learn whether your situation warrants dental surgery, contact our expert staff today to schedule a consultation.

The Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 Windows Phones that are heading to AT&T have been given the green light over at FCC and are well on their way to Microsoft's launch party. It's always a quiet buzz when our dear handsets pass through the agency, which provides us with a slight reminder on where Windows Phones are heading and more.
FCC reveals the Lumia 920 supporting both the 700MHz LTE and the AWS-based LTE bands available for AT&T, with the latter also being used by carriers in Canada - think Rogers. The Nokia Lumia 820 on the other hand is limited to AT&T for LTE connectivity, while the Lumia 810 will be deployed exclusively by T-Mobile.
The Lumia 920 and Lumia 820, both 'exclusive' to AT&T in the US, have been confirmed to be launching shortly after Microsoft's Windows Phone event later this month. The former is set to be available on November 4th, while the younger sibling is expected the also be brought along for the ride.

Thomas Family Law Firm PLC has hired a new associate attorney.
Mark Jobe is a 2012 graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Law. He completed his concentration in business transactions and served as the senior commentaries editor for Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law.
He is licensed to practice law in Tennessee and is a member of the American Bar Association and the Memphis Bar Association.
The Thomas Family Law Firm focuses on family law in Tennessee and Mississippi.
A measure of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes fell last month after reaching a 2 1/2-year high in November. Sales were held back by a limited supply of available homes.
The National Association of Realtors said Monday that its seasonally adjusted index for pending home sales dropped 4.3 percent in December from November to 101.7. That's still 6.9 percent higher than a year ago.
The decline signals that sales of previously occupied homes may cool off in the coming months. There's generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale.
Still, the broader trend in home sales remains solid. Completed sales of previously occupied homes rose last year to their highest level in five years, one of many signs of recovery in the housing market last year. And the Realtors' group forecasts that sales will rise 9 percent this year, as the recovery strengthens. Other economists have similar forecasts.
Stable job gains and record-low mortgage rates have encouraged more people to buy homes. And a tight supply of homes for sale has pushed up prices and made builders more confident to step up construction.

Tennessee prosecutors are pushing for changes to the law that they say will aid the prosecution of serial child sexual abusers.
Guy Jones is deputy director of the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference. He said in a news release that prosecutors want to be able to have one trial for sex abusers who commit crimes in multiple counties instead of separate trials in each county.
The proposed change is part of the group's legislative agenda this year.
They also want to increase the minimum amount of time that must be served before a prisoner is eligible for parole in cases of aggravated child neglect and attempted first-degree murder where there are serious bodily injuries.
People who got state unemployment benefits last year can access online the forms they need for income tax purposes.
The documents are called IRS Form 1099-Gs. There is a link to them from the home page of the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development: www.tennessee.gov/labor-wfd.
Benefit recipients can access the forms by entering their birth date or the PIN they used to certify or inquire on their unemployment claim.
The department also began mailing the 1099-G forms to more than 245,000 benefit recipients on Jan. 14. They should reach claimants no later than Jan. 31. The U.S. Postal Service will not forward the forms.
Recipients of benefits are not required to submit a copy of their 1099-G forms with their income tax return.

Manchester United midfielder Anderson has admitted that the club's rotation policy can negatively affect a player's performance.
The Brazilian midfielder has made just four starts in the Premier League this season, and managed just six minutes against Real Madrid in the Champions League last week, but with United chasing silverware on three fronts he is expected to facet Reading in the FA Cup fifth round on Monday.
Anderson is 17/4 to score anytime against Reading with BetVictor
"It can be hard for a player if you don't play for, say, two weeks because when you do get your chance you have to be ready to put in your best performance, " he told United Review.
"If you haven't played it can be difficult to do that. It's good for all the players to be involved in big games and tonight's [Monday] match is another important one. We know we have a good opportunity to win the Cup this season and we will all do our best to try and do that."
The last time United faced Reading, Brian McDermott's men showed their resilience in a seven-goal thriller.
And Anderson has highlighted the "crazy" December encounter as proof the relegation-threatened side will not be the easy task most have predicted Monday's encounter to be.
"People say 'Oh, United have an easy game,' but there are no easy matches. Everyone has to do their job and play well if we are to get through," he continued.
"Every team that comes to Old Trafford plays like it's their last game – that's how important a match at Old Trafford against United is to other teams. That makes it hard for us, but we know we have the quality to beat any team."

Free agent linebacker Victor Butler visited with the Eagles today, but left without a contract.
There is still mutual interest in getting a deal done, according to an NFL source. But Butler has met with a number of other teams, including the Browns and Saints, and could be mulling over multiple offers.
Butler underwent a physical and met with Eagles coaches on Tuesday. The Eagles are looking to add to their stable of pass rushers. The 6-foot-2, 248-pound Butler would likely be used as a situational outside linebacker and special teams contributor and isn't expected to affect the status of either Trent Cole or Brandon Graham. Second-year defensive end Vinny Curry still has a ways to go before he's assured a roster spot.
Cole and Graham have only played as 4-3 defensive ends in the NFL, but the Eagles have said that they are confident both will be able to adjust to the team's expected switch to a defense that has many 3-4 elements. The Eagles did sign linebacker Connor Barwin, who has played in a 3-4 the last two seasons, away from the Texans two weeks ago.
Butler, 25, played in less than 30 percent of the snaps for the Cowboys defense last season, but still recorded three sacks and forced two fumbles. He has 11 total sacks in four seasons in Dallas.

*1/2 (out of four)
I agree with Chicago native Jeff Garlin: Many people are stupid. Yet in the star/director/co-writer's "Dealin' with Idiots," Max (Garlin) makes no effort to understand the lunacy around him. He merely stands on the fringes with an irritated smirk and grumbles about the behavior demonstrated by parents of kids on his son's baseball team.
And, in fact, Max brings most of it on himself. The comedian engages with each parent individually as research for a possible film project based the exaggerated personalities of the parents and coaches he constantly looks down on. This leads to numerous scenes in which Max hangs out with the dimwitted coach (Bob Odenkirk) or the dullest man ever (Richard Kind) or lesbian moms (Gina Gershon, Kerri Kenney-Silver) and doesn't try to meet anyone halfway. These characters are irritating, yes, and the comedy's pitched at a high level that would make anyone grow uneasy. Still, there's not much point in making a film about how different and dumb people are without giving the judgmental, one-man Greek chorus his own legitimate comeuppance.
Not surprisingly, that's not in the cards here. Garlin creates some funny moments (like people who see real life as a game of shirts and skins), and his imagined conversations with his late father (Timothy Olyphant) register as one of many reasons Max was happier as a kid. It's fair to consider how people's personal lives impact their public behavior, but even when I laughed at "Idiots" I still found the film annoying and smug, not to mention creepily objectifying of the hot nanny (Hope Dworaczyk) that Max ogles at the games but gives no chance to develop as a person. Max also embarrasses a foreigner who has never before seen a baseball game.
Max proves to be no smarter or better than those around him, but he's too busy huffing and puffing and chuckling to notice he subscribes to the hypocrisy he condemns. That's not the point of the movie, it's the problem. Hey, pot? It's the kettle, and it's for you.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Persuading first-term Republicans in the House is President Barack Obama's toughest sell on military strikes against Syria.
Many of the three dozen freshmen come from solidly GOP districts where voters have a deep distrust of the president on health care and immigration. Members of the Washington establishment just a few months, the freshmen barely know Obama, as his invitations to exclusive White House dinners, part of the president's postelection charm offensive, have been to senators only.
For these first-termers, their only brush with the president came in March when Obama visited Capitol Hill to talk with all House Republicans. Today he's asking them to vote for war, and their reluctance highlights the president's daunting task in securing congressional approval.
"I haven't heard a word about how the targeted, limited strikes protect America's national security," Indiana Rep. Jackie Walorski said in an interview. "How does this fit into a long-term plan for the Middle East? What is the endgame? Giving (Syrian President Bashar) Assad two weeks to move all his weaponry around while we sit here and do whatever the president's doing? I've got a lot of questions; my district has got a lot of questions."
Walorski, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, issued a statement on Friday saying that at this point, she could not support the president's request and his "incomplete case to the American people," though she promised to take a close look at any legislation.
Among the Republican freshmen class of 37, including returning members such as Mark Sanford of South Carolina and Steve Stockman of Texas, at least seven lawmakers have said they would vote against giving Obama the authority to use military force against Syria, two have announced their support and the rest remain undecided. The president faces growing congressional opposition from Republicans and Democrats even though a Senate committee delivered crucial support with a narrow vote Wednesday for force.
Three members of the Senate Armed Services announced their opposition on Thursday: Republicans David Vitter of Louisiana and Mike Lee of Utah, and Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia. An Associated Press survey found 34 senators in support or leaning in favor, 32 against or leaning and 34 undecided ahead of votes next week.
The president has argued that a limited military response is warranted after chemical weapons attacks that the administration says killed more than 1,400 civilians, including at least 400 children. The Syrian government denies responsibility, contending that rebels fighting to topple the Assad government were to blame.
Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla., a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and an announced 'no' vote, challenged Obama's argument that the credibility of the international community and Congress was on the line.
"Did we have credibility under Ronald Reagan?" Radel said in an interview. "Chemical weapons under Saddam Hussein were used in 1987 and we did nothing and I do not think that our credibility was compromised in any way, shape or form."
Radel is one House freshman who has had a personal connection with Obama, albeit brief.
"I got to shake his hand, meet him, actually shared a little moment," Radel said, recalling the GOP conference meeting in March. "I lived in Chicago a couple of years and I know for a fact that he used to frequent a blues club where I'd hang out."
Another Republican freshman, Oklahoma Rep. Markwayne Mullin, said in a statement that "it is not the responsibility of the United States to get involved in a country's civil war. Neither side in this civil war has the United States' best interest in mind."
Two GOP freshmen said they would support military action: Rep. Luke Messer of Indiana, president of the freshman class, and Rep. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran who is trying to unseat Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor. Messer warned the administration that it must do more to rally support.
"America doesn't like to watch bullies stand by and do evil things to their people. But the American people inherently understand, intuitively understand, that there are high risks to action here too," Messer told Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the Joint Chiefs chairman, at a House hearing Wednesday.
"And if I were to make a suggestion, I think we've got a lot of work to do to help the American people understand why the risks of action are less than the risk of inaction," he said.
The top two Republicans in the House — Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia — support Obama on limited military action against Syria, but rank-and-file Republicans have repeatedly bucked the leadership this year, at least on domestic issues. A vote to authorize military force is a matter of conscience in which leadership is unlikely to pressure lawmakers.
Defense hawks such as Sen. John McCain, the GOP's 2008 presidential nominee and an aggressive proponent of military strikes, have little sway with House Republicans, especially the 100-plus who were elected in the past two elections. Many of the tea party-driven 2010 class and the 2012 lineup comprise the GOP's noninterventionist wing.
Potentially influential with freshmen is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the powerful pro-Israel lobbying group. In a statement this week, the organization urged lawmakers to back military force, saying, "Barbarism on a mass scale must not be given a free pass."
A large delegation of AIPAC members plan to press lawmakers on Capitol Hill next week.
Walorski, the Indiana freshman, was part of a congressional group that traveled to Israel last month on a trip sponsored by the education foundation of AIPAC.
"We were standing on the Syrian border two weeks ago and the artillery fire — you could hear it, you could feel it in your feet, you could feel it in your chest, nonstop," Walorski said.
New York Rep. Chris Collins recalled staring across the Golan Heights into Syria.
"The Israeli position will carry some weight with me," Collins said in an interview. "They are the country that would bear the brunt of any kind of retaliation."

On July 27, a blood moon will glow an eerie red ahead of the longest lunar eclipse that Earth will experience in the 21st century. For one hour and 43 minutes, the moon will disappear from the sky, entirely obscured by the shadow that our planet casts upon it.
Unfortunately, not all Earthlings will get to enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime extended celestial event. It will only be visible from parts of Africa, Europe, and North and South America if skies are clear.
But there's good news: All of us can enjoy the moon every night, and it's always awesome, whether it's a sliver or full and bright. The thrill of an unusual natural event like a lunar eclipse only highlights the fact that we ignore the everyday wonders that surround us all the time. We spend our days and nights staring at screens, and don't gaze up at the sky nearly enough. That means we're missing out on great riches that are available to everyone, but appreciated by only a few.
A 200-year-old Zen Buddhist parable perfectly illustrates the importance of gazing up at the heavens on a regular basis.
According to traditional lore, the Japanese Zen master and poet Ryokan Taigu, who lived from 1758 to 1831, was a happy hermit . He trained in a monastery for 10 years, then rejected conventional religion. He went on to live a simple life, meditating, writing poetry, occasionally drinking sake with rural farmers, and sharing his modest meals with the birds and beasts.
He didn't have much to steal. But one night, a thief came to Ryokan's spare mountain hut looking for treasure. The criminal found nothing of value and was disappointed, which saddened the Zen master. It's said that the poet pressed his clothes—or his blanket, depending on which account you read—upon the thief, saying, "You've come such a long way to see me, please accept this gift."
The stunned thief took the poet's clothing. But he didn't take anything that mattered to the Zen master, who reportedly spent the rest of the evening naked, gazing at the moon in the sky—a jewel that no one could steal, yet everyone can enjoy. Ryokan was still a bit sad, as he hadn't been able to give the thief this most valuable of treasures. In his diary, the Zen master penned a now-famous poem about the experience:
The story is told by Zen teachers to remind students that most people are attached to things that don't really matter, while missing the marvels that abound in the natural world. Ryokan would have happily shared his greatest treasure with the thief, if only the visiting criminal could have seen it.
The moon in Buddhism is a symbol of enlightenment. Each of us could be illuminated, as bright as a full moon on a clear night, but our wisest, best nature is often obscured by clouds, writes author and professor of Buddhist studies at Lehigh University, Kenneth Kraft, in the Huffington Post .
Attachment and distractions prevent us from realizing that we already have what we need. According to Zen philosophers, existence is sufficient and there's no need to grasp for power, money, or exciting experiences. The need to be thrilled and to seek more experiences—perhaps even the excitement of a lunar eclipse—is what causes our suffering, according to Kraft.
Yet we can always capture the treasure, the moon of illumination hidden behind our personal clouds. "Even amid delusion, there is awakening. Even amid awakening, there is delusion," he writes.
Kraft points to a simple, circular, single-stroke ink image of the full moon by the early 19th century Japanese Zen painter Nantenbo to demonstrate the endless possibilities presented by common shapes and everyday things, whether the typical moon in the sky or a bowl in your kitchen cabinet. "A circle is whole yet empty, without beginning or end. So is the universe, in the Buddhist view," the professor explains.
When we get in touch with the wholeness and possibilities of simple things, we become rich. And this wealth is available to anyone, even the poorest mountain hermit. That's why Natenbo's painting is accompanied by this inscription:
The moon as metaphor appears often in Buddhism. It symbolizes truth. And the Lankavatra Sutra , compiled around the 4th century, contains a lunar warning from the Buddha to disciples not to get confused about his teachings. "As the ignorant grasp the finger-tip and not the moon, so those who cling to the letter, know not my truth."
This is a reminder to look to nature to understand reality. To be illuminated, we don't need teachings or even teachers, though they may guide us.
"A finger pointing at the moon is not the moon. The finger is needed to know where to look for the moon, but if you mistake the finger for the moon itself, you will never know the real moon," explains Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh in
Blood moons are dramatic and exciting. There's nothing wrong with looking out for one. But the attention we pay to these extraordinary celestial events is a bit like the finger pointing at the moon. If we only look up at the sky and admire the moon when something unusual happens—like a shift in color caused by a total lunar eclipse—then we're missing out on the real treasure, just like the thief in Ryokan's parable. A lunar eclipse only really matters to those who look up at the moonlit sky every night.
The thief, left it behind—The moon at the window.

Ground-breaking technology
Leveraging SPEEDbit's unique technology, Free Video Accelerator works with your web browser to stream web videos from multiple sources simultaneously allowing for significantly improved download speeds and video playback.
Find out more.
What are the different available qualities of streaming videos?
The web originally offered videos in only one format, but it now has three main formats, as well as a mobile format for viewing on mobile phones. The original format, now labeled Standard Quality, displays videos at a resolution of 320x240 using the Sorenson Spark codec with mono MP3 audio. This was, at the time, the standard for streaming online videos.
High Quality videos, introduced in March 2008, are shown at 480x360 with mono MP3 sound. They can also be viewed with the H.264 codec and stereo AAC audio by adding &fmt=18 to the end of the video URL. This offers a significant improvement over standard quality. This was followed up in November 2008 by 720p HD support. At the same time, the Online Video Player was changed from a 4:3 aspect ratio to widescreen 16:9. This was introduced first, more than a year before, by the website Vimeo. 720p videos are shown in full 1280x720 and encoded with the H.264 codec. They also feature stereo audio encoded with AAC. From February 2009, all new videos are shown using H.264 and AAC by default for both Standard and High Quality viewing, allowing for higher quality videos at approximately the same file size.
Can I choose the quality of the video to watch on the web?
Videos are offered in several different resolutions. When a High Quality or High Definition version of a video is available, a HQ or HD icon displays in the lower right corner.
Twisted X Men s Lite Cowboy X Work Boot B000NIG6VQ Steel s Toe - Mlcs021 Brown f87a7d7
Click on the icon to view the video in the HQ/HD format, and the icon background turns red.
You can also browse from a collection of High Definition videos
Western What Internet connection speed do I need for a smooth viewing experience of HQ/HD videos?
There are two elements that will dictate your viewing experience:
Effective internet connection speed
- This determines your potential data delivery speed and thus your potential viewing experience. This means that if your effective connection speed is lower than the video's bitrate (see table below) then the video cannot possibly play smoothly. On the other hand, an effective connection speed that appears to be sufficient does not guarantee a smooth viewing experience since this is dependant on the video throughput rate.
Video delivery (throughput) rate
- This is the actual flow of data from the video servers to your PC. Think of the video throughput as water flowing to the top of a skyscraper. Having the largest pipes possible at the base of the building does not guarantee a strong flow of water at the top. The flow at the top is limited by the pipes located there and by the tap itself.

Aspect Ratio

320*240 480*360 1280*720
Bitrate (mbit/sec)
0.5 0.9 2
Is there a difference between the internet connection speed I'm paying for and my effective connection speed?
Your actual connection speed may be substantially lower than what is advertised by your Internet service provider. This is due to various reasons including:
Shared bandwidth,
in which the ISP imposes a limit on the aggregate bandwidth allocated to a neighborhood or group of subscribers. This means that at peak hours subscribers will have a much lower bandwidth allocated to them.
Bandwidth allocation
between several machines or users on the same connection
- Applications and processes on your computer continuously using up bandwidth, thus reducing your effective speed for watching video.
What controls the video delivery rate?
The video delivery throughput rate depends largely on the rate in which the video is streamed from the server and on the barriers between the server and the destination computer. Actual throughput will drop with the physical distance between the source server and the destination computer. Busy servers and/or congested areas along the way will result in a further drop in throughput.
How can I see that the video is being accelerated?
Each time SPEEDbit Video Accelerator improves the performance of a video, a Now Accelerating message appears from your desktop tray to let you know it is working. Additionally, you can look at the video progress bar and see that the video is being loaded in rapid chunks, taking leaps forward instead of gradual and slow progress.
you can see a side by side comparison of a video loading regularly, and a video that is playing smoothly thanks to Video Accelerator.
Complementing video delivery
The Internet protocol is very limited in its ability to deliver video efficiently. The quality of the delivery deteriorates due to physical distance, congested areas along the way, busy servers, and other reasons. Web Video sites are making great efforts to overcome those limitations, and Speedbit Video Accelerator works hand in hand with those efforts to provide the missing link to enjoying the best possible viewing experience. Only Speedbit Video Accelerator with its patented and award winning technology can acquire the video using multi threads and other sophisticated algorithms. Video Accelerator fully utilizes the available bandwidth and overcomes congested areas, busy servers, and last mile issues. It provides the best user experience for watching Online Videos, and even "long tail" videos that are hosted only on the backbone of video sites.

Portsmouth teeming with development workBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
February 09. 2013 10:16PM
PORTSMOUTH - From the Portsmouth Traffic Circle to the Greenland town line, development along Route 1 is booming.
Construction activity got under way at the former Yoken's restaurant site last week where a Rite-Aid pharmacy, a two-story Newburyport Five Cents Savings Bank and a restaurant will soon take shape. The adjacent Comfort Inn will also undergo some upgrades, and the Cumberland Farms convenience store and gas station diagonally across the street is also seeking city approval for a renovation.
The complex is scheduled for completion in mid- to late-May, according to paperwork on file with the city. The future of the iconic Yoken's "Thar She Blows" whale sign still on site is still unknown.
City planning Director Rick Taintor said there is room at the back of the lot for additional development down the road.
On the opposite side of the Market Basket plaza from the Yoken's site, the new 20,800-square-foot Armed Forces Reserve Center is nearing completion.
The $7 million federal project will house three permanent full-timers and will have a maximum weekend use of 100 people. The building includes a weapons simulator among other training areas.
"It is a big training facility," Taintor said.
Further down Route 1, the Southgate Plaza featuring McKinnon's market, Shio and Big Lots will soon house a Cinemagic movie theater, a restaurant featuring a historic diner and other businesses.
The owners of successful Portsmouth restaurant STREET also announced last week that they have leased the former Taco Bell location in the Southgate Plaza and plan to open a Mexican-style cemita restaurant.
Across Constitution Avenue, local restaurateurs Jay McSharry and Joel Harris have leased the 3,663-square-foot former Friendly's restaurant and plan to operate a full-service Mexican restaurant to be named "Vida Cantina."
McSharry also recently leased a building on Islington Street in the West End of Portsmouth where he hopes to operate a tea house.
Back on Route 1, the Bourneville Jeep dealership across from the Southgate Plaza is proposing taking some land adjacent to its property to turn it into a test driving track for Jeep vehicles.
Taintor said the dealership still has to go before the board of adjustment and the conservation commission for approval before plans are submitted to the planning board.
Further north on Route 1, the new Goodwill is open for business near Crossroads House, and a building that will house another bank and restaurant is under construction at the corner of Greenleaf Woods Drive.
Unlike some other communities, land use boards in Portsmouth did not see a slow down during the "Great Recession," and although many projects have been approved, funding kept them from getting started, Taintor said.
"It is always good to improve the aesthetics and appearance of the road, and we're looking forward to these developments," he said.
Active development is not evident just on Route 1.
In the downtown area, an old Islington Street Getty gas station will soon be reinvented as a three-story building with a first-floor Laundromat and two floors of office space.
Taintor said there is also interest in redeveloping the Port Traders building, which has been up for sale for "a long time."
There is also interest in residential development with a new, massive condominium building recently replacing a former Kline's furniture store and a 14-unit, four-story condo building under construction across from the Mobil Station on Islington Street.
The third and final phase of the massive Portwalk project is under way in the North End, and a British Beer Company restaurant is scheduled to open in the second Portwalk building in April.
The Rosa is undergoing renovations on State Street near the Memorial Bridge project, and there is a proposal for a mixed-use building on the former Rosa parking lot across the street, which houses an old gas station that served as "The Station" pop-up restaurant this past summer.
On Daniel Street nearby, the former Connie Bean Center will also undergo a renovation under new, private ownership.
There is still no confirmation on when the federal government will move the downtown federal building out to Pease International Tradeport as has been talked about for years, but Pease Development Authority Director David Mullen said at a recent meeting that he heard they would like to start construction on the new building in 2013.
Reports at a recent meeting of the Seacoast Board of Realtors on the commercial and residential real estate front were also good.
