Damn Food Waste!
29 Jun 13
Two days ago members of the Youth Food Movement Netherlands headed out to fields around Amsterdam to glean vegetables left behind after the harvest. Too small, irregularly shaped or slightly blemished, the tons of produce deemed "unfit" by retailers constitutes just a segment of the food waste that occurs from field-to-fork: around one third of global production. Today this fresh and healthy produce is being offered in a free lunch for 5000 people: a public action to urge everyone to help stop wasteful food practices – from farms to distribution networks and from company boardrooms to home kitchens.
Following in the successful footsteps of actions by the Slow Food Youth Network in Berlin (SchnippelDisko) and France (DiscoSoupe), today's Damn Food Waste/Disco Soep event at the Museumplein Amsterdam is a first for the Netherlands. Volunteers met at the Amsterdam Food Bank yesterday to wash, peel, and chop more than a thousand pounds of the "unwanted" vegetables and will today serve the huge pots of soup and curry in the prominent city square from 12 pm – 6 pm, with DJs to entertain the crowds.
Of the annual 4.4 billion euros of food wasted in the Netherlands, more than half is thrown away by Dutch consumers – around 110 lbs per person. This is equivalent to around 100,000 garbage truck loads of good edible food going to waste, much of it having travelled long distances. The Dutch government is aiming to achieve a 20% decrease in food waste by 2015 and the EU wants to see a 50% decrease of food waste by 2025.
Today's event is linked to the worldwide campaign against food waste Feeding the 5000, initiated by Tristram Stuart, author of Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal (Penguin, 2009).
Damn Food Waste is an initiative of Youth Food Movement with FoodGuerrilla (NCDO), Voedingscentrum, Wageningen UR, Natuur & Milieu and Feeding the 5000/EU Fusions.

Rafael Montero Rumors
East Links: Santana, Sox, Cespedes, Phils, Mets
The Braves are expected to make a qualifying offer to Ervin Santana, reports David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In the event that Santana leaves, the team may pursue a top-of-the-rotation type of arm, O'Brien writes, but their lack of financial flexibility would make the trade market a more likely avenue than free agency. O'Brien adds that he finds it unlikely that Santana would accept the QO — a sentiment with which I wholeheartedly agree. He also notes that should the club lose Santana, it might be more motivated to try to retain Aaron Harang, even though he is in line for a sizable raise from the $2MM he earned in 2014 (including incentives). MLBTR's Zach Links recently profiled Harang, pegging him for a two-year, $14MM contract. Santana was also profiled by MLBTR, with Tim Dierkes projecting a four-year pact worth $56MM.
Elsewhere in baseball's Eastern divisions…
- The Red Sox are prioritizing Pablo Sandoval and Chase Headley as the look toward the offseason, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The team may also look at Aramis Ramirez, though he's not believed to be as coveted as Sandoval or Headley and is said to prefer a return to Milwaukee, per Heyman, who adds that the Yankees would like to re-sign Headley. Red Sox third basemen combined to hit just .245/.305/.351 in 2014.
- Red Sox people strongly denied a previous report that Yoenis Cespedes is hated by the team's coaching staff, Heyman writes in a second piece. One source called the report "totally untrue," and manager John Farrell added on MLB Network Radio that the notion was "completely unfounded," Heyman adds. He goes on to write that a trade of Cespedes is unlikely (though not impossible), given Boston's overall need for power.
- The Phillies announced today that their entire coaching staff has agreed to return to the club for the 2015 season.
- Joel Sherman of the New York Post looks at the second round of changes coming to the dimensions of Citi Field and writes that the new dimensions may give some type of hint as to which players are most likely to be traded by the Mets this offseason. The Mets are planning to make Citi Field more homer-friendly and build the pitching staff around arms that emphasize strikeouts and ground-balls. Names like Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler fit that description, but Bartolo Colon, Dillon Gee and, to a lesser extent, Rafael Montero are all more prone to fly-balls, making them more likely to be dealt.

NL Notes: Mets, Pirates, Sandoval
For the Mets and for other teams throughout baseball, undergoing a rebuilding process provides no guarantee that process will actually work for a sustained period of time, Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes. Sherman argues that the Pirates prove that point — they had been rebuilding for years before they finally reached the playoffs last season, but this season they're struggling yet again. (Even the Pirates' playoff year depended heavily on outside additions A.J. Burnett, Francisco Liriano, Russell Martin, Jason Grilli and Mark Melancon.) Highly-touted young players like Pedro Alvarez don't always gradually improve as projected, just as Ike Davis (now a Pirate) did not gradually improve with the Mets. Still others, like Matt Harvey, undergo significant injuries. Sherman argues that building the core of a team through one's farm system is not without risk. Here are more notes from the National League.
- The Las Vegas 51s have announced that the Mets have optioned top prospect Rafael Montero back to them. Montero made four starts for the Mets, posting a 5.40 ERA with 7.7 K/9 and 5.0 BB/9 in 20 innings. The move clears space for the Mets to promote fellow pitcher Buddy Carlyle. The Mets will replace Montero in their rotation with Daisuke Matsuzaka, as Mike Puma of the New York Post tweets.
- Pablo Sandoval "belongs in San Francisco," and the Giants ought to work out a new deal with him before he's eligible for free agency this fall, the San Francisco Chronicle's Bruce Jenkins writes. Not only is Sandoval a popular player, Jenkins argues, but his positive outlook helps in the Giants' clubhouse. Also, the Giants' relative lack of organizational concern about plate discipline makes the team a good fit for the free-swinging Sandoval. Jenkins thinks the Giants might be able to get a five-year deal with Sandoval done before the All-Star break.

NL Notes: Mets, deGrom, Montero, Phillies, Padres
Mets co-owner Saul Katz has indicated interest in selling his share of the club, which is held in partnership with team chairman and CEO Fred Wilpon, reports Michael Schmidt of the New York Times. According to the report, while Katz is concerned with jeopardizing Wilpon's control over the team, he is nevertheless wary of continuing to pump cash into the organization. For his part, Katz denied that he had such an intention through a statement released to the press. Sources told Schmidt that the team is expected to continue losing money this year and suggested that payroll is not likely to "jump substantially" in the near future.
Here's more from New York and the rest of the National League:
- As suspected, the Mets will call up prospect Jacob deGrom to take a bullpen slot, tweets Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. The move is part of a series of maneuvers through which the team has begun shifting future assets onto its big league roster, writes Andy Martino of the New York Daily News. Baseball America ranked deGrom tenth among the team's prospects coming into the year, noting that he could eventually develop into a mid-rotation starter.
- Perhaps the more important Mets promotion was that of fellow young hurler Rafael Montero, who will step into the team's rotation. As Ben Badler of Baseball America notes on Twitter, Montero was inked for a mere $80K just three years ago after the club saw him impress in a Dominican Prospect League outing.
- The Phillies bench is in a state of flux amidst serious struggles, writes MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. Infielder Jayson Nix was just outrighted, while recently demoted utilityman Freddy Galvis fractured his clavicle upon his return to the minors. Meanwhile, John Mayberry Jr. and Tony Gwynn Jr. are struggling as reserve outfielders, and the team currently has just one utility infielder on its roster in Reid Brignac. While a recovering Darin Ruf could see another shot at the bigs, as could infielder/outfielder Cesar Hernandez, top prospect Maikel Franco is likely not going to be called up for a bench role. Philadelphia is still just four games back in a densely-packed NL East, and it will be fascinating (as always) to see how GM Ruben Amaro Jr. attacks the trade market this summer if the team stays within striking distance.
- While the Padres have seemingly been snakebitten in the early-career extensions they have entered, GM Josh Byrnes remains committed to his thought process, writes Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune. "When they don't work out, they are not killers, but they hurt," said Byrnes. "We need our dollars to hit their targets, but I think the concept is still good. … The whole model for 20 years is the club is giving some security and taking some risk and sometimes it doesn't work out." Of course, the team most recently moved to lock up young infielder Jedd Gyorko to a $35MM pact.

Mets To Promote Rafael Montero
MONDAY: The Mets have officially announced that Montero will be promoted and start on Wednesday in place of Mejia, who will be shifted to the bullpen. Montero would accrue 138 days of Major League service time this season, were he to stick in the Majors, making Super Two status very likely.
Of Montero, GM Sandy Alderson said to reporters (Twitter links to Newsday's Marc Carig), "We think he's ready now," and "We understand it's a debut on a big stage." He will slot into what has been a solid Mets rotation behind Zack Wheeler, Bartolo Colon, Jon Niese and Dillon Gee. Additionally, as the Record's Matt Ehalt tweets, Jacob deGrom has been pulled from his upcoming Triple-A start and will be on standby for the next few days should the team need additional bullpen depth.
For Mejia, the move to the bullpen could prove to be highly beneficial. He's held opponents to a sparkling .193/.258/.246 batting line when facing them the first time in a game this season. That line, however, jumps to .245/.365/.415 when facing an opponent for the second time and a whopping .405/.500/.595 when facing opponents for a third time. That trend has been the case throughout his young career to this point, but it won't be much of a concern in the bullpen.
SATURDAY: The Mets could have top prospect Rafael Montero start on Wednesday, tweets ESPN New York's Adam Rubin, citing Danny Knobler, also of ESPN New York. Jenrry Mejia, Wednesday's scheduled starter, has struggled so far this season, and Montero pitched on Friday for Triple-A Las Vegas and therefore would be ready to start on Wednesday.
ESPN's Keith Law (Insider-only) ranks Montero as the No. 60 prospect in baseball. Baseball America lists Montero at No. 68, and MLB.com ranks him No. 78, praising his low-90s fastball and good command. Baseball America's Prospect Handbook 2014 lists Montero as the Mets' third-best prospect (behind Noah Syndergaard and Travis d'Arnaud), noting that he could become a good mid-rotation starter. Montero currently has a 3.67 ERA with 8.9 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9 in 41 2/3 innings for Las Vegas, which is known as a tough environment for pitchers.
If Montero is promoted and sticks with the team, he would likely be eligible for arbitration as a Super Two player following the 2016 season. He would become eligible for free agency after the 2020 season.

NL Notes: Polanco, Nady, Montero, Cubs
We learned recently that the Pirates had offered a seven-year contract extension to outfield prospect Gregory Polanco, who has of course yet to take the major league field. The extension tender was particularly interesting because of the contrast between Polanco's situation and that of players like the Astros' George Springer, whose similar extension offer came from a non-contender (and who has since been promoted), and Oscar Taveras of the Cardinals, who does not have an obvious spot at the MLB level. Those looking for more thoughts on this situation have a few pieces to check out. In a piece for Grantland, Ben Lindbergh breaks down the overall promotion picture, explaining that several organizations employ quite a different philosophy than strict service time controllers like the Bucs and Rays — and noting that there are very real risks to holding down talent. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says that the Pirates are now in a tough spot, given their desire to save money but equally obvious team need for Polanco. Meanwhile, over at Fangraphs, Dave Cameron writes that the discount demanded by the team on Polanco's reasonably anticipated earnings was just too great, and opines that Pittsburgh should be willing to up its guarantee by $10MM to $15MM.
Here's more from the National League:
- It is virtually certain that outrighted veteran Xavier Nady will decline his assignment and become a free agent, reports MLB.com's Corey Brock (via Twitter). The 35-year-old veteran stands at a .135/.238/.405 triple-slash in 42 plate appearances on the season. He did put up a quality .296/.360/.456 line in 495 trips to the plate at the Triple-A level last year.
- The Mets have a detailed plan in the works regarding highly-rated pitching prospect Rafael Montero, reports Andy Martino of the New York Daily News. With an innings limit in play, New York hopes to work Montero as a reliever (first at Triple-A, then in the bigs) before sending him back to the minors to stretch back out and join the MLB rotation later on in the season.
- The first three picks of the amateur draft appear fairly set (at least at this point), which could make the Cubs (who hold the fourth overall choice) the first true wild card. With Tommy John victim Jeff Hoffman now likely out of play, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune says that possibilities include prep arm Kyle Freeland, TCU lefty Brandon Finnegan, or high school catcher/outfielder Alex Jackson.

NL East Notes: Alderson, Mets, Hamels, Detwiler
Gavin Floyd made his Braves debut last night and halted the team's seven-game losing streak with seven brilliant innings, allowing just a run on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts against the Cardinals. That victory gave Atlanta a half-game lead over the Nationals in a surprisingly competitive NL East. Only 2.5 games separate the Braves from the last-place Phillies in the standings. Here's the latest from one of baseball's most competitive divisions…
- The New York Post's Ken Davidoff writes that for all of the successes that Sandy Alderson has had since taking over as GM of the Mets in 2011 — including the trades of Carlos Beltran and R.A. Dickey — his inability to craft a serviceable bullpen tarnishes his reputation. As Davidoff points out, 19 different pitchers have earned a save for the Mets since 2011. He goes on to opine that if the Mets were ever to aggressively pursue veteran relief help on the trade market, this is the year to do it.
- The Mets are discussing when to promote prospects Noah Syndergaard, Rafael Montero and Jacob deGrom, assistant GM John Ricco told WOR 710 AM (via Metsblog's Matthew Cerrone). Ricco said he and VP Paul DePodesta are in agreement that they want to wait until the pitchers have nothing left to prove in the minors. Said Ricco: "…rushing one of those guys and putting on pressure and creating a situation where they're the savior is not something we're looking to do."
- Corey Seidman of CSNPhilly.com examines Cole Hamels' performance since signing his six-year, $144MM extension with the Phillies and comes to the conclusion that Hamels hasn't lived up to the expectations set forth by that deal yet. Hamels has the 44th-best ERA (3.56) since the time his extension was signed, despite being the game's sixth-highest paid pitcher, he adds. Seidman notes that it's understandable for the Phillies to have paid Hamels so much, given his status as one of their best homegrown talents ever, but he wonders if the team should have traded him then attempted to re-sign him the following winter.
- Following up on his colleague Adam Kilgore's examination of Ross Detwiler's curious usage last night, James Wagner of the Washington Post spoke with manager Matt Williams yesterday about the left-hander's usage. "We'd like to get him in there more. We'll make plans to do that. [Monday] is an example of we gotta hold him, hold him because we didn't know how it was going to go today. Turned out that Blake [Treinen] pitched well and we had to get him an inning today and it just didn't work out. He'll get back in there." Wagner also looks at how Treinen has been handled curiously in the minor leagues; Treinen had pitched just one inning in a week's time prior to Monday's start.

Mets Notes: Dice-K, Hanrahan, Drew, D'Backs
Daisuke Matsuzaka picked up his first Major League save last night, though it probably isn't going to be the start of a new career path for the veteran right-hander. Matsuzaka only got the call since Kyle Farnsworth had pitched in three of the Mets' previous four games and was being rested, and as Fangraphs' Paul Swydan points out, Dice-K doesn't fit the traditional closer profile. Anything is possible given the Mets' unsettled closing situation, however, so be sure to keep following @CloserNews, MLBTR's sister Twitter feed, for the very latest on ninth-inning personnel changes.
Here's some news from Citi Field…
- The Mets still haven't decided whether or not to pursue free agent reliever Joel Hanrahan, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News reports. The team has been weighing its options for several days now since watching Hanrahan throw at a showcase last week. Almost 20 teams watched Hanrahan throw, so the Mets may face competition if they do decide to make the righty an offer, though an evaluator tells Martino that Hanrahan is still roughly a month away from being able to contribute.
- Also from Martino, there still isn't anything brewing between the Mets and Stephen Drew, as "there is no momentum" between the two sides.
- Matthew Cerrone of Metsblog.com agrees that a Drew signing looks like a major longshot, and the Mets are more likely to promote Wilmer Flores from Triple-A than acquire a shortstop like Drew or the Mariners' Nick Franklin.
- If the Mets do deal for a shortstop, Cerrone believes the Diamondbacks are New York's best option as a trade partner. The two clubs at least discussed a trade during Spring Training and scouted each other's prospects. According to Cerrone, the D'Backs liked right-hander Rafael Montero and catchers Travis d'Arnaud and Kevin Plawecki, though Plawecki alone wouldn't have been enough to secure a deal. All three are ranked amongst the Mets' top prospects by Baseball America, though Montero and d'Arnaud in particular would take major offers for the Mets to consider a trade.

Rafael Montero, Oswaldo Arcia, Josmil Pinto Join The Legacy Agency
Top Mets prospect Rafael Montero and Twins youngsters Oswaldo Arcia and Josmil Pinto have joined the Legacy Agency, according to Liz Mullen of Sports Business Journal (subscription required). For Montero and Arcia, this marks a return to TLA after being gone for one year and for nine months, respectively.
Montero, who turned 23 in October, split the 2013 campaign between the Mets' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates, compiling an impressive 2.78 ERA and 4.29 K/BB ratio (150 strikeouts, 35 walks) in 155 1/3 innings of work. Both Baseball America and MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo agree that the right-hander is the No. 3 prospect in the Mets' minor league system, trailing only the highly touted Noah Syndergaard and Travis d'Arnaud. Mayo also lists Montero as the No. 97 overall prospect in the game.
A consensus Top 100 prospect heading into the 2013 season, Arcia debuted in Minnesota as a 21-year-old this year and became the youngest player to hit a home run while donning a Twins uniform since Joe Mauer in 2004. Arcia was a bit overmatched by Major League pitching but held his own, slashing .251/.304/.430 with 14 home runs in 378 plate appearances. He also saw 155 plate appearances in Triple-A, illustrating that he has little to prove at that level by hitting .313/.426/.594 with 10 homers in 38 games.
Pinto, 25 in March, burst onto the scene in 2013 with a .309/.400/.482 batting line and 15 homers between Double-A and Triple-A this season. With the news that Mauer is shifting to first base full-time, Pinto suddenly appears to be the heir-apparent behind the plate in Minnesota. He made his big league debut as a September call-up and turned plenty of heads in a small sample size of 83 plate appearances by slashing .342/.398/.556 with four homers and five doubles. He ranks fifth among Twins prospects, per Jason Parks of Baseball Prospectus.
The Legacy Agency has numerous high-profile Major League clients (e.g. CC Sabathia, Carl Crawford, Aaron Hill, Edwin Jackson) but also boasts some high-profile prospects. In addition to Montero, Arcia and Pinto, TLA also represents George Springer, Taylor Guerrieri and Jenrry Mejia, as can be seen in MLBTR's Agency Database, whiche contains info on 2,000+ Major League and Minor League players.

Sunday 28 October 2001
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
1. The 10th Ordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops
ended yesterday with a solemn concelebrated Mass in St Peter's Basilica. For
four weeks, numerous bishops from around the world met to discuss an essential
aspect of the life of the Church: the ministry of the bishop, "Servant of
the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the Hope of the World".
In this perspective the synod, the first of the third millennium,
looked to the future, analyzing the pastoral challenges that the new times pose
to the Church. The bishops have confirmed their will to "cast the nets out"
trusting in the word of Christ who said to them, "Put out into the deep!" (cf.
Lk 5,4-5).
The abundant harvest in the fields of the world has a growing need of labourers, of missionary vocations. The Lord invites us to ask the Lord of the harvest for the gift with assiduous prayer (cf. Mt 9,37-38). The human family urgently needs missionary men and women who, united to God and in solidarity with their brothers, take the Gospel message everywhere, the proclamation of salvation for all men, regardless of language, ethnicity or culture.
3. The month of October is coming to an end, during which we expressed our Marian devotion with particular fervour by reciting the rosary, to beg the Lord for peace. At this time, we entrust to the maternal protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary the peoples of Afghanistan: May innocent lives be spared, and may the international community give timely and effective help to so many refugees, exposed to privations of every sort as the winter season approaches.
Nor can we forget all those who continue to suffer violence and death in the Holy Land, particularly in the Holy Places, so dear to the Christian faith. May Mary, Queen of Peace, help all to lay down their arms and finally begin resolutely on the path toward a just and lasting peace.
After the Angelus, the Holy Father greeted the directors, teachers and students of the Catholic schools of Rome who with Cardinal Ruini were present in the square as part of the celebration of the Diocesan Day for Catholic Schools. The Holy Father also greeted Spanish-speaking visitors who belong to the Dante Alighieri Association in Cordoba, Argentina. He also greeted those taking part in the Third International Meeting of "Missionary Infancy" of the countries of the Mediterranean and of Eastern Europe with some representatives of the Holy Land. He thanked them for educating children to the missionary spirit and to a spirit of solidarity with their contemporaries throughout the world.
About the Catholic schools, the Pope said:
"I invite the Christian and civil society to support Catholic schools in their needs so that they may offer to all and in the best possible way their cultural and social service".
He also thanked the religious who run the schools and the religious who teach in them for their important contribution to the good of society.

How to Reduce Excessive Shedding in Dogs
Edited by Maniac, VermontGal, Danny Day, Maluniu and 3 others
Nearly all dogs occasionally shed their coat. Prolific shedders, such as German Shepherds, shed year-round. Others like poodles have shed-resistant fur. Even though the fur doesn't fall off a shed-resistant dog, it stays entangled in the fur. Weather and seasons play a big role when it comes to how much a dog sheds, but the overall health of a dog is one of the biggest factors that influences how much hair actually falls out. A dog who is shedding more than the usual amount for the breed may have undiagnosed health issues.
1Feed a high quality diet. One of the best ways to reduce excessive shedding in dogs is to start with a healthy diet. Cheap dog food is made mostly of fillers that dogs have difficulty digesting, such as corn and grains. Better quality foods cost more but they do a better job controlling dog shedding because they are made with premium protein sources that are easily digested, which allows your dog to absorb more vitamins and minerals than cheap dog food. Keep in mind that better nutrition can help reduce shedding, but it won't eliminate shedding completely.Ad
2Add more human-grade foods into your dog's diet. Dogs who only eat dry kibble often suffer dry skin because of the lack of moisture in their diets. When a dog's skin is dry, hair falls out more easily. Increasing the amount of human grade, unprocessed whole foods adds more moisture into your dog's meals and results in better skin and coat. Consider adding unseasoned steamed and finely grated vegetables, eggs and raw meats without bones into your dog's diet a few times a week.
3Add omega-3 oils into your dog's daily foods or administer as a supplement. When used in combination with other measures such as feeding a better diet, additional omega-3s can reduce dog shedding by calming inflamed skin, decreasing dandruff and improving overall coat texture.
4Control fleas. Dogs with flea problems scratch incessantly which causes hair to fall out. Keeping your dog free of fleas will prevent irritated skin, dandruff and excessive fur shedding.
5Brush regularly with a dog de-shedding tool. Certain dog grooming tools such as rakes help keep loose fur to a minimum. They prevent excessive fur shedding by raking loose undercoat fur out and away from the body. Use de-shedding tools just prior to spring when dogs' winter coats begin to fall off and again in the fall when winter coats begin growing in.
6Give your dog regular baths. Regular baths encourage loose hair to fall out in the tub (or outside) instead of on your furniture. However over-bathing can cause dry skin, which causes fur to fall out. Read about your dog's breed to learn about the suggested bathing schedule or ask your veterinarian.Ad
- If your dog's fur keeps falling out despite all of your fur shedding home remedies, make an appointment at the vet. A dog who sheds excessively may be suffering from an undiagnosed condition such as skin allergies or parasites.
- Dogs with bald spots, broken skin and open sores should be seen by a vet as quickly as possible to try to determine underlying causes.

Huge SPIDER-MAN News: Alex Kurtzman Directing VENOM Spinoff Movie and Drew Goddard Writing and Possibly Directing THE SINISTER SIX
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted 1 year, 8 days ago
If you're a Spider-Man fan, Sony Pictures is about to make your day. That's because the studio sent out a late night press release loaded with future plans for the Spider-Man movie universe. Here are the highlights:
- Sony, in association with Marvel, are developing several new projects in the Spider-Man franchise, with Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinkner, Ed Solomon, and Drew Goddard to collaborate on overseeing the developing story over several films that will be produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. The five writers, along with the two producers and Marc Webb, have formed a franchise brain trust to expand the universe for the brand and to develop a continuous tone and thread throughout the films.
- Kurtzman, Orci, and Pinkner are writing the screenplay for The Amazing Spider-Man 3, which the studio hopes Webb will return to direct; the film will go into production next fall for release on June 10, 2016.
- Kurtzman, Orci and Solomon are writing the screenplay for a Venom movie, which Kurtzman will direct.
- Drew Goddard will write, with an eye to direct, The Sinister Six, focusing on the villains in the franchise.
With the comic book genre making more money than ever at the box office, it's no surprise Sony is pushing forward with more sequels and spinoffs. We'll have a lot more on this tomorrow, but until then, hit the jump for the press release.
[Update: For more on this story, click here for Matt's take on how Sony plans to compete with Disney/Marvel, Warner Bros/DC Comics, and 20th Century Fox (X-Men and Fantastic Four)]

The River of Stories
Come Experience the River Valley
For Susan Brown and Good Star Woman, the Minnesota River provided more than water for drinking and washing. It was a thread in the fabric of daily life
The bounty of the valley offered food and shelter to people living here. And the river was a busy passageway linking eastern woods with western prairies - a route used by trappers, traders, and explorers as well as the Dakota.
The river valley remains as beautiful as ever, even if time has brought changes. Hardwood forests, 3.8 billion year old granite outcrops, and lush prairie grasses remain for you to enjoy. State and local parks dot the valley inviting you to get out-of-doors all year long, while museums and historic sites offer vivid stories of prairie life. Fishing and hunting are leisure activities rather than necessities. Canoes still travel this winding and majestic river, not for transportation but for recreation and relaxation.
The rich prairie soil that attracted 19th century farmers is still the backbone of agriculture. Today massive four-wheel drive tractors work fields where oxen once strained against their wooden yokes. You might just discover one of those same hand- hewn yokes for sale in an antique shop.
Close your eyes and imagine becoming an explorer for a day. Relax in the tranquility of Big Bluestem prairie grasses. Watch for Dakota Skipper butterflies among Purple Coneflowers. Scan the expansive blue sky for Bald Eagles, or wait quietly at the river's edge to catch a glimpse of deer at sunset. Too much quiet? How about a threshing show with chugging and puffing, turn-of-the-century steam engines? A 19th century musket demonstration? Power shopping in unique specialty stores? Take home one of our stories. We've got plenty to share!

Hey rameakap, I write a post 2 minutes after watching the Celtics blow a decent lead to the Mavs in the last two minutes for the second time this season and you bust out with "ignorant," "idiotic," and "moron." I'm glad you get off on slurring fellow Celtic fans. Learn how to disagree with the message without degrading the messenger. If you think the games against the Raptors, Wizards and Cavs are more important than other games I'd love to hear your argument. I titled my post what I did about two minutes after the buzzer went off when my blood was still up. I conceded elsewhere that obviously the Mavs games aren't "more important" than any of the other losses, they just hurt for me personally a little more because I get more satisfaction over beating good teams and losing to good teams in the fashion Boston lost to the Mavs is more painful than losing a coupla fluke games to bad teams that you play 3 or 4 times a year. I get that they all count the same.

hey mac
I responded 2 mins after the game when i was upset too.. sorry for the verbal attacks
clearly the losses to the THREE worst teams in the game will both me more than the two losses to a top 5 team... if we lose homecourt... that much is clear

however ispc3.0.3 is set up to do it, is how its doing it, I haven't changed or modified anything from default
and thinking about it, I am not so sure about what I said before, If the log files were rotating at about the same time as awstats, then I wouldn't be getting 30 mins worth of data for this site, I would either get 1 or 2 mins worth, or 24 hours 30mins worth, but I am getting 30 mins worth. for this one site, so I'm a little confused now.
What is the best way to confirm when the log files are being rotated? the 2011mmdd-access.log.gz files all have a changed time of 12:31am give or take a minute, which is why I said I thought they were rotating at about the same time as awstats was building the stats.
If it ain't broke, then take it apart to see what makes it so bloody special!!!

Locked & Loaded: Gray & Costa on the DCU Relaunch
Fri, June 24th
By Jeffrey Renaud
In an industry dominated by super-heroics, the Western genre has always taken second or third seat to the spandex and capes crowd, with one exception: Jonah Hex. The popular antihero was first introduced in 1972 in DC Comics' "All Star Western" #10 and the facially scarred character quickly became the star of the title - which changed to "Weird Western Tales" with issue #12 - dominating page and cover space through issue #38 when he left for his own series, aptly titled "Jonah Hex." Jonah was a rough and tumble mix of contradictions born out of the spaghetti-westerns of director Sergio Leone (which often starred Clint Eastwood). Though created by John Albano and Tony DeZuniga, it was writer Michael Fleisher who became most associated with the character, penning the vast majority of Hex's stories over the course of his initial series' 92 issue run and subsequent appearances.
The first thing you probably notice about Jonah is the scar of melted flesh on the right side of his face, and the story of that scar sets the tone for the character and the series as a whole – one of the harshness of reality and the evil that men do to one another. As a young boy, Jonah accompanied his father across the frontier. Upon reaching Apache territory, Jonah's father sold the young boy into slavery to the Indians for safe passage through their lands. The young Jonah was eventually adopted into the tribe after saving the Chief of the tribe from a mountain lion. Sadly for our young hero, this made the Chief's son jealous. He betrayed Hex and, through manipulation, tricked Jonah into violating a sacred duel. The punishment was to be branded on the face with a heated tomahawk and ejected from the Apache lands.
Jonah's fate seemed set, and he joined the Confederate army in the American Civil War. During his tenure as a soldier, he is credited with accidentally shooting Stonewall Jackson (a wound that led to Jackson's eventual death). Before the war's end, Hex surrendered to Union forces, though he would wear the Confederate gray for the rest of his life.
Hex's life has been traditionally portrayed in short glimpses in the pages of the comics and not always in sequential order. Most often story-arcs take a snapshot of the man during a certain period of his life or at a telling moment. In the pages of "Jonah Hex," the titular character has battled alcoholism, faced his mother's life as a prostitute, fallen in love, and been the victim of betrayal.
Hex has not been without his controversy, with the character's Confederate uniform upsetting those who feel that making a hero out of a southern soldier of the era is racially insensitive and irresponsible. Despite that, the character has proven not only perennially popular with fans, but also remarkably flexible when it comes to building stories around him. While generally rooted in the era of the Wild West, Hex has also traveled to and lived in the far future (as depicted in the 18 issue long "Hex," written by Fleisher) as well as being the titular protagonist in several horror-themed miniseries.
The character's tale features a unique twist in that readers - and Hex himself - actually know the end of his story. As revealed in a Fleisher written comic, after being shot to death during a card game, Hex's corpse was stolen, stuffed, dressed in a garish cowboy outfit and paraded around by a traveling circus.
Jonah Hex is currently undergoing a revival of sorts, having seen over 50 issues of the current Jimmy Palmiotti/Justin Gray co-written series published. The character also appeared in several episodes of the animated "Justice League" series and Josh Brolin will portray the character on the big screen in a feature film set to debut on June 18, 2010. - Brian Eason & Stephen Gerding

They contend his character is based on their song ''Cousin Dupree''; Owen cheekily responded he'd never heard it. Now The Dan have penned a missive to Anderson, claiming his career ''is suffering from a malaise.'' (The director did not return calls for comment.)

A04975 Memo:
BILL NUMBER:A4975 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to medicaid eligibility for youth leaving court ordered placement PURPOSE: To ensure that certain youth being discharged from juvenile justice facilities have access to Medicaid while they await their Medi- caid eligibility determinations. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amend section 364-i of the social services law to add a new subdivision 7 providing presumptive Medicaid. eligibility to youth leaving court ordered placement.in an office of children and family services juvenile justice facility. Such presumptive eligibility shall continue until a medical assistance eligi- bility determination is made or 60 days from release of the youth from placement, whichever is sooner. Section 2 of the bill amends section 364-j, subdivision 3 paragraph (c) to include presumptive eligibility youth among the list of medical assistance recipients who are not required to participate in managed care but may voluntarily opt to. Section 3 of the bill provides for an effective date 90 days after enactment. EXISTING LAW: Section 364-i of the social services law establishes the medical assistance ?resumptive eligibility program for various groups of individuals. Section 364-j of the social services law establishes the Medicaid manage care program. JUSTIFICATION: Youth placed or committed to the state's juvenile justice system suffer many hardships. Among them are high rates of mental health diagnosis with over half of the children prescribed psychotropic medi- ations. Releasing these youth without health care coverage puts them at unnecessary risk as they work to try and successful transition back into the community. New York State has recognized the importance of providing health care coverage through Medicaid for various groups of people including presumptive eligibility for those leaving hospitals and entering long term care and for those in need of treatment for various forms of cancer. We also allow prisoners to continue their pre-incarceration Medicaid eligibility so they are not release without Medicaid and we provide continued Medicaid coverage until 21 for foster children who are the responsibility of the local social services district until their 18th birthday. Health care coverage is not only vitally important to the individual's ultimate success in transitioning back into the community, it is cost effective for the state and local communities who would otherwise pay the costs of-higher recidivism and unnecessary hospitali- zations. Youth who enter the juvenile justice system are not currently afforded. the same protections for Medicaid coverage as these other populations, yet they experience similar needs. For example, these youth often depend on the continuation of medications vital to their emotional stability and may need the added support of the community mental health system which they can access through Medicaid if they are not eligible for private health insurance coverage. This bill gives youth, who were in care as a result of a court order, presumptive Medicaid eligibility once they are released from care for up to 60 days while determination of their Medicaid eligibility is made. It is an important piece of the safety net that is currently missing. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: S.6969/A.11020 - 2010 Referred to Social Services 2011/12 - A1553-A- Held in Social Services FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Potential savings as youth have timely access to medical and mental health care important to their successful transition back into the community. EFFECTIVE DATE: 90th day after enactment provided OFCS and DOH shall promulgate any rules or regulations necessary for the implementation of this act on such effective date.Go to top

Cut tile for the corners and other areas with a tile or wet saw. The water cools the blade and reduces the dust when the tile is cut.
The secret to cutting with a wet saw is not to force the tile through or apply too much pressure or the blade will bind and give you a bad cut.
Note: You can rent a tile or wet saw from a local rental retailer for approximately $50 to $75 a day.
When you have to fit small pieces of tile along a wall or in a corner, it can be difficult to apply thinset to the floor. In this case, just apply the thinset to the back of the small tile piece.
Wait 24 hours before grouting in order to let the tile set up.
Note: Grout is a major design component in any tiling job and there are a ton of different colors from which to choose.
Start the grouting process by using sanded grout to add body to the mix. Stir the grout mixture to about the same consistency as the thinset you mixed for the underlayment.
Tip: Grout dries quickly, so don't mix too much at one time.
Use a float for this job. Hold it at a 45-degree angle and then spread the grout across the tile. The float gently forces the grout into the seams.
Remove most of the grout on the first pass.
Let the grout set for a few minutes until it starts to set up, then go back over it with a sponge. If you sponge over wet grout too quickly, you can pull it right out of the seam -- so go at a slow, even pace.
Let the grout dry overnight before you walk on it.

Faux pearl strand necklace with gunmetal plated brass geometric pendant and gold plated brass spike details
Material: Faux pearl, gunmetal plated brass, and gold plated brass
Brand: Fallon
Origin: United States
Founded in 2007, Fallon is the wild younger sister of Fenton, jewelry designer Dana Lorenz's elegant fine luxury collection. An unabashed fan of 1980s style, Lorenz designs pieces that meld toughness with glamour: For example, the classique crystal necklace, which juxtaposes Swarovski crystals with gold-plated spikes, spike-and leather "labyrinth" chandelier earrings, and heavy-metal bangle bracelets. Fallon's punk-but-pretty pieces appear regularly on the pages of Vogue and Elle, and the line has earned such a devoted following that Lorenz recently opened a Fallon/Fenton flagship store in the heart of — where else? — Downtown New York City.

Wed, Oct 13, 2010
Parachute maker Ballistic Recovery Systems is opening a new
plant in Pompano Beach, FL, and plans to hire 500 workers.
The South St. Paul, MN-based firm, which makes parachutes for
the military and aviation industry, has leased 124,894 square feet
at the Superior Commerce Park, off Powerline Road, according to
broker Michael Scarpino of NAI Rauch Weaver Norfleet Kurtz &
Co. The lease term is a little more than five years with renewal
options, he said.
Ballistic's new plant will make low-cost cargo parachutes for
the military. The parachutes are designed to be tossed once they
drop off supplies, which can be anything from bullets to bandages.
When it reaches full production, the Pompano Beach plant should be
cranking out about 30,000 throwaway parachutes a year.
The hiring has already begun. Ballistic CEO Larry Williams said
the firm has hired about a 100 so far, and hopes to have the
remainder on board by the end of the year. The jobs start at about
$9 an hour and include sewers, parachute riggers, packers and
cutters, he said.
BRS Larry Williams
Williams said Ballistic would likely need to train most of its
new South Florida workers to make and assemble parachutes. "We did
quite an extensive [site] search," Williams said. "We needed to be
in a large metro area where there is a large workforce." That was
the lesson learned from its 208-person plant in Pinebluff, N.C.,
where the population just wasn't large enough to support expanded
production, he said.
Ballistic worked closely with the Broward Alliance, but the
average salary of the jobs being created wasn't enough to qualify
for job growth incentives, according to David Coddington, VP of
business development for the Broward Alliance. He said the alliance
was able to work with Workforce One, the city of Pompano Beach and
federal manufacturing programs, however, to assist Ballistic with
training workers and ramping up its new plant. "What we did was to
connect the dots," Coddington said.
BRS Cargo Parachute
And, Ballistic may be just the tip of a trend reversing the
decade-long bleeding of manufacturing jobs from South Florida to
lower-cost areas.
Coddington said he has had a flurry of inquiries from
manufacturers, due, in part, to falling housing prices and
industrial rents. "It has again made us competitive with other
places around the country," he said.

How do you encourage teachers to incorporate higher-order thinking activities into differentiated units of instruction without fragmenting the curriculum?
One neat thing about kindergarten students is that they usually come to school with a sparkle in their eyes, eager to learn. Wouldn't it be nice if high school seniors shared the same enthusiasm? Somewhere between kindergarten and graduation, many students seem to lose their love for learning. The same can be said about new teachers and those preparing for retirement. Most teachers enter the profession with a strong passion for the content area they teach and a determination to make a difference in the lives of students. It doesn't take long, however, for teachers to discover that compliance is often valued more than creativity. This is unfortunate because "most teachers—when trusted, when given time and money, and when given the assistance, choice, and responsibility to develop curricula—will make extraordinarily sound decisions about what students should be taught" (Glickman et al., 2004, p. 405). How can schools encourage teachers to put enjoyment back into learning without jeopardizing the curriculum?
This book is not a member benefit, but sample chapters have been selected for your perusal.

text: Marussia previews the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas 8 November, 2013 Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi The Marussia F1 Team looks forward to returning Stateside next week for the widely-praised Formula 1 United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. The circuit, the first purpose-built F1 facility in the US, was designed by architect Hermann Tilke and, much like the Buddh International Circuit, it draws inspiration from a collection of the best circuits around the world. Another strong parallel can be found in the dramatic elevation changes resulting from the site's natural topography; at some points those changes are as much as 40 metres. Jules Bianchi: "I'm really looking forward to the next two – the final two, actually – grands prix of my debut season. We are in a strong position to achieve our objectives and we are all firmly focused on what needs to be done. From the work in the simulator and having been to the Circuit of the Americas last year, the track is fantastic and Austin is a lot of fun, so [it's] a good place to begin our final push. Every now and then I get the chance to look back and think how quickly my first season of F1 has passed by, so I will take some time to savour Austin and Brazil and hope for a positive end to 2013." Max Chilton: "I shared the experience of the inaugural United States Grand Prix with the team last year in my role as Reserve Driver and it was great to see just how much Austin had put into welcoming F1 back to America. The reception we all received from the fans was fantastic and the track looked awesome, so I'm really happy that I will finally get the chance to drive there next weekend. I've been on the simulator this week for some final preparation and we've done a lot of work evaluating the issues from the race in Abu Dhabi, so I think we are as prepared as we can be for whatever challenges the final two races throw at us." John Booth, Team Principal, Marussia F1 Team: "We enjoyed every minute of our United States Grand Prix experience in Austin last year and the Circuit of the Americas provided a fantastic racing experience for the drivers, the engineers and the fans. We've had a few days since Abu Dhabi to take a proper in-depth look at some of the issues [which] we experienced there last weekend and we have some solutions in place to ensure we can attack the final two races with rather more confidence. I think we have some strong developments in hand at present, but the challenge as always is to do the homework necessary to understand them thoroughly and utilise them effectively to extract more performance from the overall package. I hope we will be in a better position to do just that in Austin and Brazil." Subbed by AJN.

Seriously, the support you and till give on this forum is nothing less than professional.
I was viewing this thread only to gain understanding between the two packages. But after reading this message I wanted to further say that I completely agree that Falko and Till provide some of the best support that I've had. They also respond promtly.
So here's to you Falko and Till, thanks for making the ISPConfig product available and for your support. What goes around comes around...
