Whole Foods plans to come to Nashua create buzz
There is no denying that Whole Foods Market has found a niche in the supermarket industry with more than 340 stores in North America and the United Kingdom. And, according to supermarketnews.com, Whole Foods expects to open 12 new stores in the fourth quarter of this year, along with 33 to 38 new stores in 2014.
According to the company's website, Whole Foods is the world's leader in natural and organic foods.
Company officials are remaining tight-lipped about the new Whole Foods store in Nashua, but did issue a recent statement about its first store in the Granite State.
Nashua resident Rossy Lopez said she's curious about the arrival of Whole Foods.
"It was a nice experience, but it was too expensive," Durso said. "I really do look for the price when I shop for groceries. I go through fliers and I research for the best deals."
Trivilino, who lives nearby, said she was thrilled to hear the news.
"It will be really nice to have a grocery that caters to my preferences right in my backyard," she posted, stressing she will still be comparison shopping before taking out her wallet.
"I have been waiting for this for years," posted Lisa Havee.
George Durante, program coordinator for Nashua's Office of Economic Development, said the city is excited about the future Whole Foods Market.

It is disgrace that no US paid baby killers faced war crime charges despite the murder of countless "collateral damages" (read women and children by drugged USAF criminals and trigger happy GI) and most disgusting cases of torture and rape of detainees in the US-managed Iraq prisons.
It is well past time to hog tie and bring a whole bunch of high ranking US war criminals to the Hague to stand trial for their crimes.
Agreed. Unfortunately the USA has chosen not to enter the treaty establishing the International Court for Criminal Justice. We here are stuck with them for they dare not leave this country for fear of arrest. I suppose there is irony in the fact that the Nuremberg trails were mostly our idea.


text: 92 min | R A reflection on love, sacrifice, and the creative spirit, CUTIE AND THE BOXER explores the chaotic forty year marriage of famed boxing painter Ushio Shinohara and artist Noriko Shinohara. As a rowdy young artist in Tokyo, Ushio seemed destined for fame, but met with little commercial success after moving to New York in 1969 and marrying art student Noriko, who became his assistant. Now 80, Ushio struggles to establish his artistic legacy, while Noriko is at last being recognized for her own art. A favorite at the Sundance Film Festival, the film is a moving portrait of a couple facing life's disappointments with humor and love, set against a background of lives dedicated to art.

Contraception. The topic has become controversial in recent years. But should it be? Melinda Gates believes that many of the world's social change issues depend on ensuring that women are able to control their rate of having kids. In this significant talk, she makes the case for the world to re-examine an issue she intends to lend her voice to for the next decade. (Filmed at TEDxChange.)

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Kosher Fish
Salmon Corn Cakes |
KosherEye.comBy Eileen Goltz, CuisinebyEileen.com A nice alternative for using fresh salmon. And when it is combined with fresh corn and made into patties - it is delicious. They can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Modified from epicurean.com. Ingredients: 1 lb. cooked salmon (I bake mine or use leftovers) Directions: In a bowl combine the salmon, corn, green onion, parsley, egg, butter, ginger, paprika, soy salt and salt. Gently mix to combine then add 1/4 cup of bread crumbs and mix to combine. Form the mixture into patties, making sure to press the mixture together firmly. Add more bread crumbs if you need to help everything stay together. Press the bread crumbs onto both sides of each patty. In a skillet heat the oil. Cook each patty for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Be careful when you flip these patties, they can fall apart so you may want to use to spatulas. Drain on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges. Notes: Recipes: Fish, Salmon Cakes, Kosher |

A spidey shot, by defintion, involves a male ejaculating semen onto a woman's body part, i.e. face, tits, ass, etc. The aftermath resembles a Peter Parker type attack, thus, the spidey shot.

Some of the best things of the week: on quiet nobility, thin places, the fist of fate, severed friendships, and Malcolm X.
The memory of a father weeping reminds a son how men often don't tend to grief well. But, by sharing emotions, fathers may be a key in helping boys grow into stronger, more compassionate human beings.
Today marks 50 years since Malcolm X's assassination in 1965. A call to see the relevance of Malcolm's fierce, radical critique and draw inspiration for today's world.
Closure may not be all it's cracked up to be. Courtney Martin on the death of a friendship and the insatiable, sometimes unsatisfying, need to create silver linings where none exist.
Our greetings matter as much as our answers. What happens when we intentionally bring our hearts to the forefront of our interactions? What happens if we take a page from the Tzoltzil Mayans and ask one another "How is your heart?"
We are told to embrace the fact that death is part of life. Embracing emotional honesty, Parker Palmer shakes his salty fist at fate's inevitable hand with a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
With so much media coverage of the violence and mayhem and murders, how do we shine a light on the people living lives of quiet nobility who are doing good in the world before they are extinguished?
Join us at 7:00 pm tonight for a live video stream of Krista's conversation with Sister Simone Campbell of Nuns on the Bus fame. We'll be taking your questions online too!
A potpourri of thinking on joy, letting suffering speak, writing poetry, and the wisdom of children — as curated by Trent Gilliss.
The highly acclaimed and beloved poet Mary Oliver reads her four-part poem, "The Fourth Sign of the Zodiac," — a poem in which she explores death, purpose, and the call to live after being diagnosed with lung cancer several years ago.
When age and experience dwindle our capacity for wonder, the books of our childhood may be our salvation and our "thin places" where the boundary between the material and the magical opens ourselves to wonder all over again.
Children ask questions that challenge the best of parents. They also expose the weaknesses of our responses. A set of reflections from a black South African mother and activist who is confronted by the truth of her daughter's words and embracing the "weirdness" of their "dark brown and peach" family.
The killing of three college students in Chapel Hill, North Carolina has shaken the Muslim community to its core. Omid Safi remembers the extraordinary human beings we lost and the pain that may lead to a new civil rights movement.
Cynicism beckons to us with ease at times. But how do we remain open to the good within and around us? A reminder to keep hope alive when the demon inside us bites down. And, lyrical lines from Mary Oliver!
Our executive editor wraps up the week with stories to help you think about MLK differently and the horrors happening in the news. Also, he shares our new iPad app and some openings at On Being for you to consider!
In a rare interview with the master poet, she recites her classic poem — and tells the story of how "Wild Geese" came into being. It might surprise you.
Last week, in a somewhat surprising move, the LDS Church issued a statement seeking to do more to recognize and respect LGBT people and families. In this smart essay, David Blankenhorn sees this announcement as a good, "morally right" step, despite objections from those pulling from the Culture War Handbook.
Mary Oliver's poems often feel like prayers as much as poems. In her own voice, she recites one of our favorites that feels like an incantation.
How do we reckon with horror and injustice in the wake of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh's killing by ISIS. Omid Safi on remembering and honoring the man, and not the horrible video effigy being shown over and over.
A sampling of our best picks of the week on everything from vocation to multitasking, honoring teachers and Alzheimer's patients. And some ways to join On Being in the studio or on your iPad.
A young woman of Nigerian descent grew up thinking of Dr. King as "distant American hero." On this first day of Black History Month, she shares how she came to understand this American icon differently — and how his complex + contradictory human side creates an opening for all of us to be heroic, and not perfect.
Trying to confront the recent horror stories in the news, a Dutch theology student contemplates the origins of evil and our reckoning with good through the lens of the Harry Potter films. Our temptations, he writes, are rooted in deep-seated ills — and our strengths, in love.
Researchers are showing that doing it all at the same time is a "diabolical illusion." If we know this, why does it continue to be so seductive, so alluring? In this technological, overambitious age, a commentary on striving to be focused and whole again.

We *really* need another acronym for this. Every time I see it in relation to Linux, I cringe for a split second.
Phoronix: Samsung Keeps Working On Its Linux DRM
While Samsung has its Exynos 4210 DRM merged into the Linux 3.2 kernel as the first DRM driver for ARM in the mainline kernel, they haven't stopped there. More patches have been floating around from Samsung in the past few days...
We *really* need another acronym for this. Every time I see it in relation to Linux, I cringe for a split second.
Indeed. Not to mention that such usage "dilutes the brand" and confuses the non-technical (read: majority of) users who are educated that DRM is bad. And "poisons" Google searches, too.
As a stop-gap solution I propose to use "Direct Rendering Manager", or use "drm" (without caps) instead (although the latter one probably makes no difference for Google).
Don't underestimate the power of words. Microsoft are masters of that - everyone who sees "Win" spellt with capital W is going to think (if for a second) about Windows, even if it is used as verb. Linux guerrillas, being underfunded amateurs in marketing, are not going to take over "DRM" word, the world will think about digital rights anyway. Face it, rename the tech and get over it.
That is true. Still when there are GPUs mentioned I think first of rendering then of digital restriction management.
Besides that it is good to see Samsung doing something for the little Penguin. I mean, they had a few interesting note/netbooks in the past but they were so strictly sold with MSW... no.
Also I hope TI manages to get out a driver for this ImgTec stuff.
Lets call it DRI and thats all, shall we?

LOCKS Installation of locks is a common do-it-yourself project. According to market information, less than 7 percent of the total retail lock business is from locksmiths. A large percentage of consumers shop retail stores for locks. LOCK MECHANISMS The five mechanical types of key-operated locks are pin-tumbler, lever-tumbler, disc-tumbler, warded and combination locks. Pin-tumbler locks with five or more pins offer greater resistance to picking. Depending on the number of pins, this lock offers many key changes. These locks can be made with as few as three pins but better locks have five or more. Pin-tumbler mechanisms are used in padlocks, deadbolts, cabinet locks, locksets and more. Lever-tumbler locks are slightly less expensive than pin-tumbler locks, offer good security and many key changes. Lever-tumbler key blanks are rarely stocked. These locks are usually found on doors of older homes. Disc-tumbler locks are medium-priced locks offering minimal security and many key changes. Warded locks feature low-cost but superior weather resistance because of simple construction and lack of rotating internal parts. However, they provide only token security. Combination locks offer good security and wide price range to appeal to homeowners and commercial users. Uses vary from bicycles to bank vaults. Basic locks are an integral part of a house or building: auxiliary locks are devices like night latches and door chains used as "backup" security for basic locks. BORED LOCKSETS Bored locksets are part of the basic door hardware with the locking mechanism built into the doorknob and latch. They are classified as entry, hall/closet passage locksets and bath/bedroom privacy locksets. Entry locksets are locked or unlocked from the inside by turning or depressing a small button on the inside knob. A key is required to unlock the pin-tumbler mechanism from the outside. Sets requiring a key on both the inside and outside are available for added security. A quality feature in an entry lockset is the deadlatch. Because the regular latch is angled to the outside of the door, an intruder can depress it by sliding a piece of stiff material between the door and the frame. The deadlatch actuator is generally located in the rear of the regular latch and cannot be depressed in this manner (when installed properly). A lockset that automatically unlocks when the inside knob is turned is good for the homeowner who doesn't want to lock himself out of the house or one of the rooms. Bathroom and bedroom privacy latchsets are designed for privacy rather than security and are equipped with a locking button on the inside but no key device on the outside. In an emergency, the lock can be opened from the outside by inserting a narrow object through the small hole in the outside knob and either depressing or turning the locking mechanism inside, depending on the type of lock. MORTISE CYLINDER LOCKS Mortise cylinder locks have a pin-tumbler locking mechanism in a cylinder. The latch can be operated from either side except when the outside knob is locked. A deadbolt is also used and operates by a turn of the inside knob. Both deadbolt and latchbolt can be operated by a key from the outside. Mortise cylinder locksets are used in new installations and as replacements; they are mortised into the frame of the door. They can be used on many types of doors from heavy entrance doors to apartment buildings to residential doors. Some of these locksets can be used on vestibule doors; in this case they have a latch and deadbolt or latch only. PADLOCKS Padlocks provide portable security for movable objects-bicycles, motorcycles, boats and the like-and in locations such as storage sheds, gates, etc. where locksets are not practical. Although weatherproof construction is important, high security is more important to the consumer who wants to protect expensive equipment. Laminated, pin-tumbler padlocks provide maximum security for valuables. Laminated (layered-steel) padlocks are virtually indestructible. Hardened solid steel and steel alloys make better locks and shackles; solid extruded brass padlocks are more resistant to rust than steel, but can be damaged because brass is softer than steel. Padlocks with five or more pin tumblers offer increased security against picking and are probably more secure than combination locks. Re-keyable padlocks are generally used for commercial and industrial security needs. Tubular cylinder padlocks offer many key changes by replacing the cylinder. Although most often used in electronic security systems, tubular cylinder padlocks are also used by owners of motorcycles and expensive bicycles. Cable, chain and long-shackle padlocks are commonly used as bicycle locks but may not provide adequate protection for expensive bikes. A cable or chain with a separate lock could be recommended for greater protection. U-bar locks provide maximum protection for expensive bikes. Padlocks with chain or cable permanently attached to the shackle are versatile locks but cable or chain and shackle must be matched in strength and diameter to the lock. Trailer locks are used to secure standing trailers by rendering the towing device inoperative. The lock covers or fills the coupler socket so that it cannot be mounted on ball. JIMMY-PROOF LOCKS Jimmy-proof locks use an interlocking bolt mechanism to give maximum security. Additional security comes from two interlocking vertical bits that engage the strike when the lock is closed. This means the door cannot be pried open because there is no room between the jamb and the door for a pry bar. There are two styles of jimmy-resistant locks-single and double cylinder. The first needs a key to unlock the door from the outside. A knob or lever opens it from the inside. The double cylinder requires a key to open the lock from inside and outside. The double cylinder is recommended for doors with glass. (Double-cylinder deadbolts are not permitted in many areas of the country because they may delay escape from the house during an emergency.) Some jimmy-proof locks come with a guard that prevents the lock from being opened with a screwdriver from the outside. This guard is a steel plate that is drawn back on a spring when the lock is installed. If the cylinder is pulled out from the outside of the door, the guard springs across the opening. It is also a good idea to suggest one-way tamperproof screws be used with double-cylinder jimmy-proof locks. DEADBOLT LOCKS A deadbolt lock backs up a lockset on entry doors to provide maximum security. The word "dead" refers to the fact that there are no springs to operate the bolt. It is locked or unlocked manually by a key or thumbturn on the inside. There are a number of configurations for deadbolts including those incorporating deadbolts into conventional key-in-the-knob locksets. Better units have a stainless-steel bolt with a roller insert to resist sawing and cutting. The industry standard requirements are 1" for bolt throw. The bolt locks the door to the frame and the extra-long bolt gives deeper penetration into the door frame and helps prevent the door from being pried open. Deadbolts with throws one inch or longer give greater security; mounting a one-inch or longer throw deadbolt with 3" screws to engage the trim stud increases the security. The housing should also resist hammering or wrenching. A single-cylinder deadbolt which is key operated from the outside is fine for solid metal or wood doors for greater security. Doors with glass require a double-cylinder deadbolt with key operation both inside and out. This prevents someone from breaking the glass, reaching in and unlocking the door. Anyone purchasing a double-cylinder deadbolt should be cautioned to always keep the inside key in the lock when they are home. In case of fire or other emergency, the danger of a double-cylinder lock is that the key will be missing. HASPS Hasp consists of a metal hinge and an anchoring bolt (loop), so locks can be secured to gates, sheds and garages. High-security hasps will have anchored eyebolts, pinless hinges and hidden screws. A padlock is inserted through the bolt and locked to secure the hasp. Some hasps-called hasplocks-have padlocks attached to them. This makes it impossible to lose the locks when gates or doors are opened. To unlock the hasplock, the padlock portion is operated by a key and turned a quarter turn; a quarter turn in the opposite direction locks and secures the hasp. NIGHT LATCHES Night latches have an automatic locking feature. The lock bolt is made on a 45° angle and retracts inside the case when hitting the keeper, thus locking the latch automatically. BARREL BOLTS Sliding-lock mechanism to provide minimal security for average weight doors. Can also be used on windows. Available in decorative finishes and with surface or universal strikes. Some have spring action to hold bolt in place. KEYED SASH LOCK A keyed sash lock mounts like a regular sash lock, but with one-way screws to discourage removal. Lock can be released only by key. If window is broken, sash still cannot be opened. Can be supplied with master-key arrangement. VENTILATING LOCKS Used on windows and designed to allow slight opening for ventilation. Easily installed. ELECTRONIC LOCKS Hotels are now using electronic locks with credit card-sized paper replacing keys. Watch for them to move into the home market. REINFORCEMENT HARDWARE Reinforcement hardware are metal plates designed to give added strength to deadbolt and key-in locks. The plates are installed around existing locks. The plates are designed to prevent forced entries by making critical stress areas around the door and framing more secure. LATCH GUARDS Latch guards for in-opening doors help reinforce the door and frame and prevent spreading of the frame. A standard 7" latch guard fits all backsets, deadbolts and key-in knob locks. A 12" latch guard for in-opening doors also fits all double locks, mortise locks and access control locks. Latch guards for out-opening doors protect the latch or bolt. Several sizes and types are available, ranging from a 6" model designed to fit all backsets, deadbolts and key-in knob locks, on up to a 12" latch guard for out-opening narrow stile doors. INTRUSION ALARMS Alarms used with electronic security systems range from a simple buzzer built into the device to systems with direct contact to local police stations. Because of the high number of false alarms, however, some police departments refuse to respond to home alarms. Types of alarms depend upon personal preferences. Some feel that a loud alarm at the point of entry will scare off an intruder. Others prefer a remote alarm located in a bedroom so that homeowners can be warned without alerting the intruder that he has been detected. Others prefer an outside alarm so that the intruder knows neighbors are aware of his presence and are likely to call the police. Simple alarms may consist of no more than a door-locking device with a buzzer attached. When the device is tampered with or the door opened when the alarm is set, it sounds. Such a device may be adequate for a second-story apartment with one entry door. However, most home intrusion alarms are more elaborate. There are two basic systems. One, called a perimeter system, detects intrusion at points of entry-doors and windows. The other, an area alarm, detects motion inside a room. Some alarms offer special features like a medical alert alarm that can be worn or carried. Others include heat sensors and a smoke alarm. Systems like this can qualify consumers for a homeowners insurance discount, sometimes as much as 10 percent. PERIMETER SYSTEMS Some perimeter systems employ low-voltage wire, similar to stereo speaker wire, to connect magnetic window and door sensors to a control panel. Others use individual radio transmitters at each door and window sensors to trigger an alarm at the control panel. When a door or window is opened, the switch is activated and the alarm sounds. Since perimeter systems designed for do-it-yourself installation are frequently battery powered, ease in testing the batteries can be an important factor. A dead battery renders the alarm useless, so frequent testing is vital. Some systems sound a warning when batteries begin to lose their charge. In the case of a wired system, pushing a control-panel button checks the entire system. In a wireless system, each transmitter has its own battery and must be individually checked and all batteries must be replaced periodically. Some battery-powered units are combined with smoke, gas and medical emergency alarms to provide complete protection from one control unit. AREA ALARMS Area alarms generally plug into standard 115V electrical outlets; hence, they are simple to install. Most use either ultrasonic (inaudible sound) waves or microwaves to detect motion. When motion in the area triggers the detector, the unit sounds a loud horn or siren. They are usually more expensive than other systems. At least one system offers a battery-operated, portable unit that detects motion in a narrow field over a 10 range and sounds a loud alarm. It can be carried and used in hotels, etc. Ultrasonic detector waves go only as far as the walls of a room, while microwaves will penetrate walls and windows. This can be an advantage if detector coverage of several rooms is desired. However, this same spill-over effect greatly increases the chances of false alarms in small living areas such as apartments where people may be moving in adjacent quarters or hallways. Some types of ultrasonic area alarms utilize a narrow sonic beam that must be bounced off a hard wall surface, perpendicular to the beam. An intruder has to "break" that narrow beam before the alarm sounds. Some care must be taken in positioning this type of unit to make certain the reflected signal does indeed return to the detector, to be sure it will detect the intruder. Other ultrasonic units use a wide beam that virtually fills the area and detects motion anywhere in the trap zone. This design is easier to set up and is free from accidental misalignment if bumped or moved slightly since aiming of the beam is not critical. Most area alarm systems require some adjustment after they have been placed in a room in order to achieve the right strength signal to protect that area. Better systems are self-adjusting to assure reliable detection and forestall false alarms due to poor setting by the owner. Perhaps the most important consideration in an area alarm is avoiding false alarms. These can be caused by air conditioners, drapery moving above a hot air register or even a telephone ringing. Better, newer systems have circuitry built in that discriminates against these spurious signals to safeguard against false alarms. Among the options available in some advanced area alarm systems are wireless repeater alarms (or "satellites"). Satellites can be plugged in anywhere in the home to generate additional noise and to relay the warning to remote bedrooms. The instant the area alarm detects an intruder, a signal is transmitted via regular household wiring to sound the satellite. This can even be placed in a neighboring house to alert residents to an intrusion next door during vacations or absences, so they can call police on behalf of the alarm owner. Some area systems can also be connected to door and window sensors to provide perimeter protection as well as area coverage. Outdoor sirens are also available to alert the whole neighborhood in the event of an intrusion. Check your state and local codes before starting any project. Follow all safety precautions.

Ragland police say they have recently arrested and charged a teenager and a 22-year-old in connection to a fatal accident that killed a Ragland teen in October 2012. The teen, 17-year-old Justin Castleberry has been charged as an adult with reckless murder. Willie Jarod Scott, 22, faces felony charges for allegedly buying beer for Castleberry before the incident. Ragland Police Chief James Brown says alcohol played a role in the accident that killed 16-year-old Kristan Cox the night of Oct. 22. A blood test showed that Castleberry had been drinking the night of the accident and Chief Brown adds that investigators believe Castleberry was driving at a high rate of speed when the car left the road and struck a tree on Providence Road. Cox was ejected from the car and killed. Another teenaged passenger was injured. Chief Brown says there were witnesses at a local grocery store who saw Scott buy a case of beer, which gave police enough evidence to charge him. If convicted, Scott faces up to three years in prison. Castleberry could face up to life in prison for his charge.

Wheeler eyes continued consistency opposite Lee
NL East rivals battle for better record in opener of four-game set
It's been a while since the Mets finished a season ahead of the Phillies in the National League East standings.
The two teams meet Monday to begin a four-game series that will give the Mets a chance to pull ahead and potentially finish in front of the Phillies for the first time since 2006, when New York won 97 games before eventually falling to the Cardinals in a wild seven-game National League Championship Series.
The Mets enter the series at 58-70, while the Phillies are at 59-71.
Zack Wheeler's first outing against the Phillies matched the shortest start of his young career. He was knocked around for seven hits, allowing two runs in 4 2/3 innings on July 20. But Wheeler is coming in hot, having thrown three straight quality starts while striking out 21 batters and walking four in his last 19 innings.
"There have been a few times now where I've had to come out of the game early because I'm throwing 20 pitches an inning, falling behind guys and stuff like that," Wheeler said after that outing against the Phillies. "That's not going to work."
The Phillies enter the series coming off a tiring weekend in which they played the longest game in franchise history on Saturday, dropping an 18-inning game to the D-backs that lasted 7 hours, 6 minutes. It was the longest in baseball since June 3, 1989, when the Astros and Dodgers needed 7 hours, 14 minutes to play 22 innings.
Cliff Lee, who has been a model of consistency in three years with the Phillies, enters Monday with a 3.16 ERA, the same mark he ended the 2012 season with. The lefty has allowed seven earned runs in a pair of starts against the Mets this season.
Mets: Flores could play second
Rookie third baseman Wilmer Flores rested his sore ankle Sunday, though he'll continue to play though the injury, manager Terry Collins said.
"I just think that one day today might help him out a little bit," Collins said. "I'm not sure you'll see 100 percent for the rest of this year, just because playing third base, the starting and the stopping takes its toll."
Collins is hoping to try Flores, who is hitting .283 with 11 RBIs in 15 games with the Mets, at second base sometime this week.
Phillies: Brown could return Monday
Domonic Brown left Saturday's marathon game with heel soreness and was held out of the lineup Sunday.
Brown, who has 27 homers and 80 RBIs in his breakout season, said he felt better Sunday and is optimistic he might return for the opener.
"It's definitely getting better," he said.
Worth noting
• Catcher Travis d'Arnaud hit his first Major League home run Sunday.
• Mets reliever Scott Rice, who leads the Majors with 68 appearances, pitched his first full inning in six appearances on Sunday.
• Chase Utley hasn't had a multihit game since Aug. 13, a span of 11 games. He recorded a pinch-hit RBI single Sunday.

Do not take me wrong. I grow many things, peppers, herbs, flowers, and bamboo (I am a Bamboo snob). However, I am also cognizant of the economics of the thing. Grow tomatoes or jalapenos?! It makes no sense, since they are so cheap to buy local and organic. I grow things that are either unavailable, or insanely expensive to buy locally. I could for example grow excellent strawberries, but during the same period my crop is ripe, locally grown organic ones are about a buck a pound, so it makes no sense economically or time wise to grow them.
Matt,How was the real Fior Di Latte, and how would one go about making this cheese at home? I actually want to get my hands on it to see how it melts and tastes. This also makes me wonder, could one get the curd texture of Fior Di Latte with Buffalo milk? As for the tomato issue, I truly believe any fresh tomato will blow away any canned tomato. Personally, I don't find a huge difference in the canned tomatoes.
Yeah JackieIm a bit confused about the Alta Cucina line. I heard through the grapevine that the AC line is Stanislaus's seconds. I asked them that in my Cali visit and they said that this wasn't true. So, maybe you are correct.
Maybe, it is for this reason that it has not maintained its original name "tomate".

See how Steria benefits from flexible payments(WMV 3:14 min)
We save about 25 percent on licenses with the Enterprise Agreement, and we saved at least another $15,000 on licensing with Windows Server 2008 Datacenter.
Mike Connelly,Vice President of ITFranklinCovey Company
Read full Case Study
Savings achieved with Terminal Services, Hyper-V technologies, and the Enterprise Agreement funds other IT projects that will help increase productivity and reduce costs.
Travis Peters,Director of ITFranklinCovey Company
We're saving close to $45,000 annually in licensing costs with the Enterprise Agreement, which is at least a 15 percent savings over acquiring Open licenses a few at a time.
Curt Nassen,IT ManagerCoating Excellence International
With the Enterprise Subscription Agreement, we can order licenses based on our current requirements and if those needs change we can adjust the quantity to match.
Mikhail Kazouski,IT ManagerEPAM Systems
Before, it took two people to track and manage the licenses. With the Enterprise Subscription Agreement, it takes only about 40 hours annually.
If we hadn't had the Step-Up License through the Enterprise Agreement, we would not have been able to deploy Windows Server 2008 Datacenter with Hyper-V so early.
Bernhard Wiedemann,IT ManagerLandratsamt Landshut
Eliminating the need to track versions and open new agreements, and using the online management tools, we reduced license management time by about 70 percent with Open Value.
Pavlos Giannakopoulos,PresidentVIANEX
Having upgrade rights through Software Assurance means we don't have to track versions. And we can download the new software and manage our licenses online.
Markus Schöppner,Technical ManagerFischer and Knöbel Trailer Services
The home use part of the agreement was extremely attractive because it means our managers can load the same software legally on their computers at home.
Paul Chipisuboff,IT ManagerDingo Australia
With Open Value, I've got a pool of licenses so if a machine breaks, I can install the software to get the users up and running immediately and sort the paperwork out later.
The Enterprise Agreement gives us the freedom to upgrade as soon as the new version is available.
Phil Weber,Director of IT InfrastructureThe Gallup Organization
With the Enterprise Agreement, we can centrally manage our licensing structure, ensuring compliance and that all of our users are on the same version of the software.
Charlie Colón,IT DirectorThe Gallup Organization
With Open Value, we're able to take advantage of new technology features a year or two sooner than before we signed the agreement.
Alexandros Thomas,IT ImplementerHellenic Seaways
With easy access to all of our licensing information and benefits through the Volume Licensing Service Center, we probably save three hours a month on license management.
Microsoft gave us a flexible, reliable platform and our Enterprise Agreement gave us a volume pricing. But if you're in business for the long term, Software Assurance is essential.
Matthew Doyle,Chief Operating OfficerMcGrathNicol
Through Software Assurance, access to the latest version of Microsoft Office at no extra cost means our employees can use Microsoft technology as soon as we are ready.
