Comments about Hal Leonard FastTrack Bass Method Starter Pack - Includes Book/CD/DVD:
I purchased this book/CD/DVD after years away from playing (I build amplifiers). I had taken some guitar lessons back in the '60s before I broke my hand and quit playing guitar. I'd never really learned to read music or tabliture. This book explained all the things my guitar instructor evidently thought I should just understand. This book was/is very good. The CD and DVD are very helpful to hear and see what the book was explaining (references). I found the book to be very good for the quality of the explanations.
That is not to say you will instantly be a bass player. The book can't learn or practice for you. You still have to do the work. But, it is compiled in small enough steps to make learning fairly easy. Too much of anything at one time can be overwhelming. For a "beginner's book" it's remarkably thorough. And, the author has a nice sense of humor.
If you are a beginner or an experienced bass player who doesn't know how to read music or count music as well as you like I highly recommend this book.

New York Fashion Week's top trends for spring 2014
What's new on the runways for Spring 2014? "It's more of a continuation of what we've been seeing, but the good news is that you don't have to run out and buy a whole new wardrobe," says celebrity stylist and reality TV star Brad Goreski.
Sooooo, what to buy? Goreski suggests a skirt with a new silo (flippy, flared) paired with one of the season's ubiquitous crop tops or even a T-shirt. Avril Graham, Harper's Bazaar executive beauty and fashion editor, advises adding a bit of retro with mod, shorter body-skimming shifts, or '50s-style nipped waists along with an unstructured jacket. And, she says, while neutrals reigned supreme, "we're seeing some welcome bursts of colors."
As for the -- shudder -- crop-top trend? "Those who dare can certainly wear a midriff- baring top." But, says Graham, with finger pointed for emphasis, "You better be prepared to spend every, and I mean every, waking moment at the gym." Yikes.
Have a look at some of the trends for spring. -- Anne Bratskeir

Don't know if there will be any brick wars this year, although Joe Meno(guy in charge) showed intereste in having it as a offical event, so maybe next year. So anyone that wants to come on by and check things out would be nice to meet you. For anyone interested here is the current map of our layout for the event. Which is still smaller then what we have planned for brick fair.

ofahn wrote:Signing a player like Cespedes would be the big splash that ownership may want to make this winter so that they can prove to the fans that they are willing to spend what is necessary to win AND also prove that they are serious about becoming players in the international market. Beyond that, it might actually make sense economically.
Let's suppose the Orioles sign Prince Fielder for 8/185 which is about what I think he will go for. At least 2 years and 50M of that contract will almost certainly be a bad investment and by the time we can rebuild with what's in the farm system now Fielder will be on the down slide of his career. Now let's suppose that we sign Cespedes for 7 years and 45M. Even if he's a complete bust we've lost LESS money than the write off portion of Fielder's contract. But, if he's ONLY the next Mike Cameron (good CF with power but bad avg.) he's a bargain at today's prices. If he's an all star we get a serious bargain, and we get the good years of his contract when they can contribute to a winner.
Signing Cespedes (along with other international talent like Soler) combined with a major rebuilding trade gives us a chance to become a serious contender by 2014, and going all in on developing a first class farm system will make us a winner for a very long time.
The fans are looking for a sign. Players like Cespedes can be a cost effective way for the organization to put its money where its mouth is.
Why would this be a bad investment on Fielder at age 35?? Ortiz is still productive at 36. To the contrary, I think signing Fielder, who at age 27 is not even in the middle of his prime, represents a far better gamble then throwing money at a Cuban import who has never seen a Major League pitch

POTSDAM - The SUNY Potsdam womens lacrosse team made a dramatic conference debut on Tuesday, rallying to claim a 15-14 overtime decision at home over SUNY Paltz.
Sophomore midfielder Margaret Wall (Rochester, N.Y.) matched a career-high with five goals to lead the Bears (3-3, 1-0 SUNYAC), while sophomore midfielder Lianne Valdivia (Kingston, N.Y.) paced the Hawks (3-3, 0-2) with a game-high six points (3g-3a).
The Bears never led in regulation, but got a buzzer-beating goal from freshman attack Bri McClusky (Watertown, N.Y.) to reach the extra period. In overtime senior captains Whitney Boshart (Fort Drum, N.Y.) and Denise Johns (Marcellus, N.Y.) each scored to put Potsdam up by a goal. Junior goalie Jen Chmiel stopped a critical Hawk free position opportunity with just 39 seconds left and Potsdam ran out the clock. The victory extends the Bears winning-streak to three, their longest since 2010, and gets them back to .500.
Defense controlled the contest early, preventing the offenses from getting quality scoring chances through the first seven minutes. New Paltz senior attack Erin Tornatore (Glen Cove, N.Y.) opened the scoring at the 22:15 mark, but Wall evened the score two minutes later on a free position. The Hawks started a 7-1 run after two minutes, getting three goals from sophomore attack Kelsey Healy (Central Islip, N.Y.), two from Valdivia and one each from junior attack Talia Tesler (Rochester, N.Y.) and Tornatore. The 8-2 lead at the 15:48 mark was the Hawks largest of the game. Potsdam responded with three in a row over a six-minute span to close the gap to 8-5 with 2:23 remaining in the half.
Johns started the run and Wall capped it with two straight. With 1:14 remaining in the half, freshman attack Alexa Vitale (New Windsor, N.Y.) made it a 9-5 Hawk lead heading into the break.
The Bears started quickly in the final period, outscoring New Paltz 3-1 over the first four minutes. Sophomore attack Bailey Weigel (East Amherst, N.Y.) and McClusky cut the gap to 9-7 at 27:54. Walls fourth made it 10-8 less than a two minutes later. Healy and Valdivia scored the next two in succession to open up a 12-8 lead and put pressure on Potsdams offense. Again the Bears answered with a 5-1 run send the game to overtime. Sophomore midfielder Emily Petit (Queensbury, N.Y.) started the streak with a man-up goal with 19:37 remaining. Weigel, Boshart and Wall tallied the next three to pull Potsdam to within 13-12 with 1:31 left.
After a New Paltz turnover, McClusky muscled her way in front of the goal and fired. Hawk sophomore goalie Jackie Ulanoff (Northport, N.Y.) got a piece of the ball, but it rolled over the goal line as time expired.
Boshart gave Potsdam its first lead of the day just 40 seconds into the extra session, but Tesler tied the score at 1:56. Johns scored the eventual game-winner 40 seconds later. Tesler got another chance to tie the score with a free position, but Chmiel stuffed her low and scooped up the rebound.
Chmiel made 11 saves, including three in overtime, to earn her third career win. Ulanoff finished with eight stops for the Hawks.
New Paltz edged the Bears in shots (37-35) and draw controls (19-13), but the Potsdam picked up 34 ground balls to the Hawks 25.
The Bears are now 8-3 all-time against New Paltz.
Potsdam looks to extend its winning streak to four when it hosts SUNYAC rival Brockport (6-2) at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
Senior attacker Brigid Hurley continued to wield a hot stick and St. Lawrence Universitys womens lacrosse team held off arch-rival Clarkson 16-13 in an exciting Liberty League matchup between the two teams at Hall-Leet Stadium on a cold and blustery Tuesday afternoon.
While the weather may have been cold, the offenses were not as the two teams combined for 29 goals with each teams big guns doing the bulk of the scoring. Hurley and Stephanie ORourke, first and third on the Saint scoring chart, combined for nine goals while Clarksons Alyssa Cristaldi and Christine Wright scored eight of the 13 Golden Knight goals in the game. SLU finished with a 36-24 edge in shots on goal, and outscored the Knights 11-7 in the second half after trailing 6-5 at the intermission.
The Saints jumped out to a 2-0 lead at Caroline Bailey scored her eighth of the year just 45 seconds into the game and Hurley scored the first of her six with 24:31 to go in the half. The Knights responded with six unanswered, three by Wright, two by Cristaldi and the other from Katie VanDeValk to take a 6-2 lead 9:40 into the game, but then the Saints went on a run of their own.
SLU scored the final three goals of the first half, two of them by Hurley and the other by Carly VanTassel, and the first five of the second half to take a 10-6 lead. Hurley scored twice, ORourke once and Holly Noyes and Caroline Bailey added goals in the Saint run to open the second half.
The Saints led 13-8 after Hurleys sixth of the game with 15:22 to go in regulation, but Clarkson scored three of the next four to cut the lead to 14-11 with 7:31 to go. Bailey scored her third of the game off a fast break set up by Joey Kelleys draw control with 4:28 to go for a 15-11 Saint lead, but Kerrie Cline scored with 2:36 to go and Cristaldi scored with 1:32 left to cut it to 15-13.
The Saints won another draw and Bailey scored her fourth of the game into the empty net with 49 seconds left as Clarkson goalie Kara DiNatale had to come out to double-team and help get the ball away. The Saints then regained possession and ran out the clock to preserve the win.
DiNatale finished with seven saves for Clarkson while Adden Cunningham had a number of point blank saves among her six to earn the win for the Saints.
SLU, now 6-4 overall and 2-1 in league play will play a league doubleheader at Bard and Vassar Friday and Saturday while Clarkson, 6-2, 1-2, plays the same teams in the inverse order.
The continued cold weather has again caused the postponement of college baseball games slated for this afternoon for both Clarkson and SLU. Clarkson was scheduled to play at Utica College while SLU was due to host SUNY Oswego.
Make-up dates had yet to be determined.

OGDENSBURG - Members of the state Senate and Assembly listed to testimony given by more than 40 people during a public hearing at City Hall on Tuesday discussing the plan to close inpatient care services at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center.
Senators David Carlucci, D–Clarkstown, Elizabeth OC. Little, R-Queensbury, and Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, were joined by Assembly members Aileen Gunther, D-Forestburgh, Kenneth J. Blankenbush, R-Black River, and Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, to hear the testimony submitted by a wide range of people with ties to the psychiatric center. The meeting lasted from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Although Andrea Smyth, executive director of the New York State Coalition for Childrens Mental Health Services, spoke in favor of the plan by the state Office of Mental Health to relocate child inpatient care to Utica and adult care to Syracuse, citing the possibility for private out-patient clinics to fill in the gap, the rest of the speakers were uniform in their opposition to the plan.
Mrs. Little said the plan amounts to geographic discrimination. To say that we wont have a center of excellent here is mind boggling.
Mrs. Gunther said its clear that the center is crucial to the region. Were going to work very hard.
Patrick J. Kelly, CEO of the St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency and a member of the Psychiatric Center Task Force, said the proposal will rob the north country of much needed mental health services.
The north country region will see a drastic reduction in available care, he said.
Mr. Kelly noted that the plan, which would require families drive to either Utica or Syracuse to visit their loved ones who are dealing with mental health issues, would place undue hardship on them. When Mr. Kelly asked OMH about the transportation cost for families who do make the trip, he was told there may be discounted hotel rooms available to them.
We have families who cant afford to feed their children, to suggest that discounted hotel vouchers is the solution is embarrassing, Mr. Kelly said.
Barbara Briggs Ward, mother of a son with paranoid schizophrenia who has been helped by the psychiatric center, said the proposal by OMH to transport people to Utica or Syracuse is unconscionable.
It is cruel to even suggest they will be shipped away like cattle, she said.
When her son was a patient at the psychiatric center in his early teenage years, Mrs. Ward said she would visit him daily. I was part of his recovery. How will people manage [to visit] if its even further away? Mrs. Ward said.
Dr. Laurie J. Zweifel, a licensed psychologist with the youth services at the psychiatric center, said having access to care for north country residents is very important, as there is much poverty and limited transportation.
Under the current proposal, there is not enough planning around transportation, Mrs. Zweifel said.
And Sheriff Kevin M. Wells noted that because the increased distance could also make people less willing to seek hospitalization, the local jails will likely pick up the slack.
Mr. Wells said the county correctional facility had 172 people inmates Tuesday, with 55 people being treated for mental illness for various levels.
Mr. Wells said the plan by OMH would increase the number of people with mental illness who end up in jail as opposed to in a hospital.
St. Lawrence County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said the number of people in jail dealing with psychiatric issues is already too high. They should be in the psych center.
And Mr. Wells was also shocked by another part of the OMH proposal where Skype was suggested as an alternative to actual visits with family members.
Noting that even prisoners are given a choice whether they will be arraigned in person or via a webcam session with a judge, Mr. Wells said, They want to do it as a way for someone to see their loved ones but they wont do it for an inmate?
That sentiment was echoed my several other speakers including County Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg, the father of a son with autism.
Video conferencing will never take the place of a parents hug or the soft touch of a sister or brother, Mr. Burns said.
Mrs. Ward said that nothing can replace a physical visit. Take it from me as a mother who has had a child locked up in an inpatient center, nothing can replace a loving hug.
Jim Scordo, executive director of the Credo Community Center in Watertown, said relocating inpatient services would do a lot of harm to the north country.
We need services in the north country, he said. If we move everything as planned, that will essentially cut off the north country. Thats a barrier for care. Take your time and do this right.
The state Senate website will have a video of the entire hearing online soon.

Thank you. We value your opinion and appreciate your feedback.
BEIJING—China's Wanda Cinema Line Corp. is expanding its partnership with IMAX Corp. IMX.T +3.92% , signing on 80 new IMAX theaters in a deal that would make China the big-screen company's largest market.
Wanda, a unit of real estate conglomerate Dalian Wanda Group Co. and China's largest movie-theater chain by outlets, plans to open the 80 IMAX theaters by 2021, rolling out 20 each year starting in 2016, said IMAX Chief Executive Richard Gelfond. The company declined to disclose investment details of the deal.
TORONTO -- IMAX has sold another theater to Sasaki Kogyo, set to be the first in Japan to install next-generation laser projection technology.
The theater, to operate under the Cinema Sunshine brand in a new multiplex in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district, will have a projection system that promises far better brightness and clarity than rival movie projectors.
No word on when the latest Cinema Sunshine IMAX theater will open or install laser projection.
When Katniss Everdeen rises from an underground elevator into the arena in Hunger Games: Catching Fire, IMAX viewers will see the film's visuals dramatically change.
The 50-minute arena sequence in this Hunger Games sequel has been formatted for IMAX, resulting in an immersive, larger aspect ratio. Instead of a typical widescreen image, with black bars on top and bottom, the IMAX image expands vertically to fill the entire screen when Katniss (played by Jennifer Lawrence) enters the battlefield.
The first few minutes of the changeover are particularly captivating, as water violently splashes around each character. The trees come alive in both color and movement, and you can see the sweat collect on the tributes' faces. The encompassing experience makes viewers feel as though they are in the arena.
"When I signed on to do the movie, I knew very early on that the arena portion would work very well with IMAX," Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence told Mashable. "The switch to IMAX hits you hard. It's stunning."

The large-format czar talks about the next international push and why Warner Bros. is the St. Louis Cardinals of entertainment.
At a time when moviegoing in the U.S. is down year- over-year, IMAX Corp. is on fire. The large-format exhibitor, once relegated to museums, is responsible for more than 15 percent of Gravity's gross, with moviegoers shelling out $20 or more a head in big cities. The Toronto-based, 550-employee company has seen its revenue balloon from $102.7 million in 2008 to $284.3 million in 2012 thanks in large part to Hollywood tentpoles, while its stock has rocketed from $3.35 a share in early November 2008 to around $30 today. IMAX's global creative czar is Greg Foster, 53, whom IMAX Corp. CEO Rich Gelfond promoted earlier this year to CEO of IMAX Entertainment in recognition of Foster's leadership in building the company's commercial slate and establishing relationships with studios. Foster, who spent 15 years at MGM before joining IMAX in 2001, also oversees the documentaries financed and produced by IMAX. The distributor will release a total of 40 films this year. Tentpoles can see an enormous boost from their IMAX runs; it's not uncommon to add $70 million or more to their bottom line.
Typically, Foster can be found meeting with filmmakers in his Santa Monica office or crisscrossing the globe, tending to 650 commercial IMAX theaters in 56 countries, including 350 sites in North America (not including 125 museum and other institutional locations). The married father of three grown sons remains a fierce family man and won't receive email via his smartphone. He recently sat down with THR to discuss what Hollywood can do better and why IMAX is on such a roll.

MASSENA The village Board of Trustees has approved more than $7,000 for surveillance cameras to monitor misconduct at the water treatment plant and the Department of Public Works.
DPW Superintendent Hassan A. Fayad said these cameras are needed to prevent theft and trespassing at the DPW. The department has had salt, chipped stone and equipment stolen; once vandals stole a motor and buried it nearby, Mr. Fayad said.
We also have people who fly up and down that sand pile with ATVs, Mr. Fayad said. If it continues, Ill have no other recourse than to close off the backyard.
The DPW also has had problems with people dumping trash in the landfill in its backyard, which is strictly for brush, leaves and grass clippings. Dumping some items could pose a safety hazard, Mr. Fayad said.
We hire a contractor to grind that stuff up, and if theres a bicycle part in there that they dont see, it could pose a safety risk, Mr. Fayad said.
The surveillance cameras will transmit a feed to the office of Mr. Fayad, who plans to report anyone who does not have authorization to be there. He noted that to dump brush in the backyard of the DPW, one first must obtain a voucher from its offices at 85 Robinson Road.
We want to keep the facility open for public use, but we dont want it getting abused, Mr. Fayad said.

(NEWS CENTER) -- Governor LePage has informed U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that Maine has no intention of creating a health insurance exchange program because the State would be spending money on it without having any control over it.
That means, as part of the Affordable Health Care Act, the federal government would have to step in and create the program for the State.
We talk with NEWS CENTER political analysts Phil Harriman and Ethan Strimling about LePage's stand and about the change of leadership in the Legislature, after the election.

We recently cooked up some delicious apple aebleskivers, but really wanted to try something less sweet and more savory. Once you have the base to this recipe you can play with it and add almost anything. We added shallots, spinach, tomato, and cheese.

Professional Training Helps Mids Make Career Decisions
Posted on: July 15, 2013 08:00 EDT by Lt. Harry Qui
A group of Naval Academy midshipmen recently went underway on board USS Dewey (DDG 105) as part of the Professional Training of Midshipman, or PROTRAMID, program.
During the four weeks of PROTRAMID, midshipmen have the opportunity to experience fleet life as each week is dedicated to a different naval community: surface, submarines, aviation and Marine Corps.
The midshipmen participating in PROTRAMID are entering their 2nd Class year and will soon choose which career pipeline they want to pursue. The opportunity to interact with officers in each of these communities can help them make that decision.
On board USS Dewey, the mids were given a tour of the ship and a chance to interact with the crew and junior officers. Having been commissioned in the last few years, JOs can more closely relate to what the midshipmen are going through than others on board. In addition, JOs can provide insights into the steps they took and the transition needed to go from midshipmen to officers.
The midshipmen seemed most interested in what qualifications are required for the SWO (surface warfare officer) pin. They also asked questions about what it is like to be a SWO and what is expected of new ensigns when they first come aboard. Life at sea can be hard on sailors and their families, and some of the midshipmen were interested in learning how to balance professional and personal life. This shows that the midshipmen are actively thinking about how to succeed as a naval officer and their long term naval careers.
In two years, this group of midshipmen will take the Oath of Office once more and receive their commissions as ensigns in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. They will carry on a fine naval tradition. For the midshipmen who are going to be SWOs, they will provide leadership from the first day they check onboard. This could be challenging at times, but it will be a worthwhile and a rewarding experience. Above all, they will lead their enlisted personnel with distinction.

The Mets prospects on the Surprise Rafters begin their Arizona Fall League season today at 12:35 MT. My plan is to catch nearly a week of AFL games from 11/9-11/13, the second-to-last week of the season.
Once again, the participating Mets:
RHP Jenrry Mejia
Why He's Going: The Mets want to see their best pitching prospect pick up some more game time against the best MiLB hitters after he missed a month with a blister problem at AA.
A Question: Can he learn to throw his potentially nasty curveball for strikes?
RHP Scott Moviel
Why He's Going: Like Mejia, Moviel missed an awful lot of time – nearly the entire first half of the season – recovering from injury. His numbers at St. Lucie, 3.92 ERA, 64.1 IP, 61 H, 1 HR, 24 BB, 46 K, were very pedestrian.
A Question: Now 21, will Moviel ever turn his projection and decent feel into a plus pitch?
LHP Eric Niesen
Why He's Going: His last seven starts for AA Binghamton: 3-1, 2.40 ERA, 41.1 IP, 29 H, 13 R, 11 ER, 1 HR, 15 BB, 45 K. K/9=9.9, K/BB=3
A Thought: This should be good preparation for an Opening Day assignment to Buffalo.
RHP Josh Stinson
Why He's Going: 35 K in 36.1 IP out of the St. Lucie bullpen after 49 in 42.1 IP for Savannah. That, and the Mets decided not to send Brad Holt to keep Holt's IP down.
A Thought: the AFL will tell us a lot about whether Stinson's for real or not.
2B Reese Havens
Why He's Going: He really needs the game action after playing in just 120 games since he was drafted last June. As a member of the taxi squad, he'll get to play 2x a week.
A Thought: After hitting .247/.361/.422 for St. Lucie, the exposure to more upper-level pitching will be a nice preparation for a 2010 assignment to Binghamton.
1B Ike Davis
Why He's Going: He's the best hitting prospect in the upper minors not named Fernando Martinez. This is the beginning of prospect finishing school for Davis. By the way, Davis hit 20 HR this year. Martinez's career high is 9.
A Question: How much did Davis' big 2009, and now how much will his upcoming AFL performance factor into the Mets plans for 1B in 2010?
SS Ruben Tejada
Why He's Going: He's the best upper-level up-the-middle prospect in the system.
A Question: Tejada got better as the year went on at AA. Can he continue to improve in the AFL?
LF Lucas Duda
Why He's Going: The Mets used their A-ball exemptions on Stinson, Havens and Moviel. Duda had 39 XBH for Binghamton at age 23.
A Question: Will Duda ever figure out how to leverage is size and strength and his natural raw power into more game power? And will he figure out lefties after hitting .192/.283/.225 against them in AA?

The hypocrisy and nonsense swirling around gun stocks on Wall Street this week has to be seen to be believed.
Okay, so in the aftermath of the Newtown massacre everyone is shunning them like a bad smell.
Smith & Wesson Holding Company SWHC, +0.28% stock has slumped 16 percent since Friday. Rival Sturm, Ruger & Co. RGR, +1.76% is down about 10 percent.
Cerberus seeks to sell gun maker
Private-equity firm Cerberus Capital Management is seeking to sell the company that manufactures a gun used in last week's shooting in Connecticut. David Benoit has details on Markets Hub. Photo: AP.
Cerberus, a private equity partnership, has taken the lightning decision to sell Freedom Group, the gun manufacturer whose weapon was used at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Calstrs, the California teachers' retirement fund, says it is reviewing whether it still wants to hold any of these stocks in its portfolio. Other public investment entities are said to be doing the same thing.
Vanguard, the mutual fund giant, has even been forced to put out a statement explaining why it is the largest owner of Smith & Wesson, and why it isn't selling any of the stock.
All of this is in response to public opinion. And otherwise intelligent people still speak, without irony, of the "wisdom of crowds."
Here are some basic facts. First, Vanguard is an index fund company. Vanguard's relevant funds own Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger because they own all the stocks in the market. They don't pick and choose. If you don't like that your Vanguard fund owns Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger, don't call up Vanguard to complain. Sell your Vanguard fund and buy another one.
Buy a "socially responsible" fund that doesn't own tobacco stocks, gun stocks, polluters and so on.
This is difficult? Really?
Second, people who claim to be acting in a "socially responsible" manner by selling all their gun stocks are either deluded, or hypocrites, or both. There is nothing remotely "socially responsible" about doing any such thing. That's because, for all their high-minded rhetoric, these people are selling these stocks ... for money.
Today's stock price is — or is meant to be — the present value of all of a company's future profits. If you own one stock of Sturm, Ruger today (price: about $44), that means you own one share of all the company's future profits, and that the market thinks your share of those profits are worth about $44 in today's money.
Selling the stock, and pocketing the $44, doesn't mean you are foreswearing all those profits. It just means you are taking those profits up front.
These people should spare us the sanctimony unless they are willing to give away all of their capital gains on the stock to charity.
The third problem: Blaming the gun companies for the massacre is a cop-out.

Larkin has no regrets about never joining the Mets
Barry Larkin, who was elected to the baseball Hall of Fame this past Monday, told the New York Post he has no regrets about declining a trade that would have sent him to the Mets in 2000.
"I certainly am happy that I didn't accept that trade" Larkin said, according to the Post. "Being in Cincinnati for so long, I didn't want to go to another organization as a potential rental player and play half a season."
Larkin rejected the deal, which involved former prospect and future-bust Alex Escobar, because then-general manager Steve Phillips did not want to give him the three-year contract that Larkin was seeking.

With the federal government already running annual deficits in excess of $1 trillion, a liberal think tank is calling on Uncle Sam to spend hundreds of billions more on "universal preschool" and child care — a proposal that could well make its way into President Barack Obama's impending State of the Union address.
The Center for American Progress (CAP), which the Associated Press describes as "an influential partner for the White House in fleshing out its policies," released its proposal on February 7. The plan calls for Washington to spend almost $200 billion over the next 10 years, followed by nearly $25 billion each year thereafter, to "make high-quality preschool universally accessible to all 3- and 4-year-old children" and to "enable more lower-income families to afford child care for children ages 0-3 years old."
The first part of the CAP's proposal:
All children ages 3 and 4 should be able to voluntarily attend a full-day public preschool program. Preschool should be free for children from families at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty line ($46,100 for a family of four). Children from families above 200 percent of the poverty line should be charged a sliding tuition co-pay, ranging from about 30 percent of the cost to 95 percent of the cost (for families above 400 percent of the poverty line).
Besides the cost to taxpayers, estimated at $98.4 billion over the first 10 years and $12.3 billion in each subsequent year, there are a number of troubling things in this part of the plan.
First, note the emphasis on public preschool. The objective clearly is to get as many children into the clutches of the state educational system as early as possible. As the CAP observed elsewhere in its proposal, "Years of research demonstrate that the first five years of a child's cognitive and emotional development establish the foundation for learning and achievement throughout life." The sooner the government can begin molding the minds of children, the more likely they are to grow up to be compliant, subservient cogs in the state's machinery rather than free-thinking, self-reliant individuals.

Everyone's been talking – including us – about Matthew Vaughn and Mark Millar's KICK-ASS as being the sleeper hit of Comic-Con 2009, but there's another film deserving of some geek love, and that's SOLOMON KANE, whose panel had the fortune of being sandwiched in between Saturday's LOST: THE FINAL SEASON and EXTRACT presentations in the San Diego Convention Center's imposing 6000+ seat Hall H…
Director: Michael J. BassettCast: James Purefoy, Pete Postlethwaite, Mackenzie Crook, Max von SydowSynopsis: The movie tells the origins of Solomon Kane and is hoped to be the first of a trilogy of movies. When the story opens Kane is a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth I fighting in Africa, but after an encounter with a demon, The Reaper, he realizes he must seek redemption or have his soul damned to Hell. He returns to England and lives a life of peace, converting to puritanism, but soon the doings of an evil sorcerer upset his plans and he must take up arms again.
A militant Palestinian group is angry about their portrayal in Brüno and are now threatening to kill Sacha Baron Cohen according to a report from the Times Online. Cohen is taking the threat seriously and has upped his security. In the film, his alter ego tells Mr. Abu Aita, a member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, that "Al-Qaeda is so 2001" and that "Osama looks like a kind of dirty wizard or homeless Santa." I can understand Baron Cohen's fear but if I were him I would counter with the hard to refute statement, 'How about you don't?'Nothing threatening about these links… Family Guy episode aborted.

True Blood season 2 trailer Comic Con – Watch more Funny VideosThe producers of True Blood stopped by Comic-Con this past weekend with the trailer above in tow. It gives us a glimpse at the impending battle between the Dallas Vampires (not an XFL team) and the Light Of Day cult, Marianne's pursuit of Sam, strange bedfellows for Bill and Sookie, and a look at Evan Rachel Wood as the Vampire Queen. It looks like the show is finally ratcheting up the action this season. About time guys.Get your morning links here…Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis team up.

Most of the presentations at this year's Comic-Con were staged within the friendly confines of the San Diego Convention Center, and all the parties were held at various hotels downtown. But Twentieth Century Fox picked San Diego's Manchester Grand Hyatt as the venue for an evening with JENNIFER'S BODY, which included a screening, Q&A with cast and crew, and afterparty at the hotel's Kin Lounge. Screen Junkies was lucky enough to get the invite for all of the above, and we have the scoop – including more foxy pics of Fox – after the jump…
And I mean that in a good way. Denzel Washington walks the road and kicks some ass all in the name of a piece of literature. I only wish the last 30+ seconds of the trailer weren't dedicated to credits. Maybe we could get a peak at this mysterious book. My guess is The Book of Eli, the novel that could save all mankind, is just a fancy version of Everybody Poops.

Alls I gots ta say is… let's get Avatarded in here! We just got out of the AVATAR press conference with none other than James Cameron, and raced back to a quiet place so we could squeal like schoolgirls… and upload these videos of the visionary director talking earnestly about his project. The huge news revealed today is that on August 21st – "Avatar Day" – select movie theaters and online outlets will be screening 15 minutes of the film for FREE. That's how confident Twentieth Century Fox and Cameron must be about their product. In fact, rumor has it that Fox head Tom Rothman cried like a baby during the screening in the San Diego Convention Center's Hall H*. * Not true. So settle in and enjoy Mr. Cameron wax on about his little movie. PART 1: Cameron on the film's character design.

The poster for Shutter Island was just released and boy is it creeeeepy. If matches are Leo DiCaprio's only source of light on that island it's going to be a very dimly lit film. He's going to spend half the movie striking match heads on the back of matchbooks. And you know they don't always light the first time, so he'll probably get frustrated and throw the matchbook in a puddle, and then where will he be.

We don't post a lot of music videos here on Screenjunkies.com – nor do we post anything about Coldplay after 40-Year-Old Virgin seemed to ruin them for most guys with one innocent line of bro banter. But you can't deny that their music videos are almost always decidedly the opposite of Seth Rogen's assessment of the band. So, enjoy this music video for the band's newest single, "Strawberry Swing." And if you don't like Coldplay, just turn down the volume and crank up that Indigo Girls iTunes Essentials collection you use to kick start your mornings.
We know you're sick of hearing about Michael Jackson, but this was too bizarre to pass up. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Jackson loved the movies, so much so that he wanted to produce, direct, and star in them.

BRONSON Trailer is CA-RAAAZYYYY! – Watch more Movie TrailersThe trailer for the independent flick BRONSON has hit the 'nets, and boy does it hit hard (and with a great soundtrack to accompany said pummeling, which is really the only way to pummel). It reminds me a little bit of TRAINSPOTTING in that way, only instead of heroin, the lead character is addicted to inflicting pain and stealing loot. The film is based on real life criminal and glutton for punishment Michael Peterson, who spent 34 years of his life behind bars, 28 of which were in solitary. The film's title comes from the nickname he adopted: Charles Bronson. As the real Charles Bronson said, "Audiences like to see the bad guys get their comeuppance." If that holds true, this should be one orgasmic audience pleaser.

MYSTERY TEAM Trailer #2 – Watch more Movie Trailers The new trailer for international internet comedy sensation Derrick Comedy's Mystery Team is on the case, and color us intrigued. What is the color of intrigue, you ask? Good question, we answer. Then we avoid the subject entirely by not-so-tactfully changing it back to the film, which is "a dark comedy that follows the lives of three high school age friends who are still holding on to their Encyclopedia Brown-esque childhood detective club. Of course, their world is turned upside down when they are presented with a real, adult mystery." On the adult mystery scale, this looks funnier than "Murder She Wrote," but not quite on the level of a "Father Dowling Mysteries," which was hilarious because priests don't solve mysteries in their spare time!

Jefferson Community College has plans for the land occupied by the Jefferson County Home for the Aged.
The college is waiting on a $40,000 feasibility study to find out whether a 7,000-seat multipurpose facility would be a good idea for the site, also known as Whispering Pines, that fronts Coffeen Street.
The proposal for the facility was developed by JCC Trustee Daniel J. Villa. Tentative plans include 35,000 feet of classroom space, a full-size ice rink that could be converted to a basketball court and a conference room with seating for more than 500 people.
If the feasibility study comes back positive, the project could be completed by late 2015 or early 2016.
JCC President Carole A. McCoy said the college would be interested in the land, now owned by the county, regardless of whether the facility is built.
Initially, with our master plan we devised in 2008, that plan had a college building there for the higher education center, she said. No matter what, were definitely interested in that land becoming part of the college.
Whispering Pines originally was planned to close in the third quarter of next year. However, it may be closed as early as spring if the Samaritan Summit Village off Washington Street is ready for new residents to move in by then.
The feasibility study being conducted by Paradigm Economics in Buffalo initially was expected to be mailed by the end of September.
We dont expect the feasibility study for several more weeks, Mrs. McCoy said.

This film looks at the risks to the food chain and the environment through pollution of our air, land, and sea by waste. It reveals surprising truths about very immediate and potent dangers to our health. It is a global conversation from Iceland to Indonesia between the film star Jeremy Irons and scientists, politicians, and ordinary individuals whose health and livelihoods have been fundamentally affected by waste pollution. Visually and emotionally the film is both horrific and beautiful: an interplay of human interest and political wake-up call.

Eugene goes green at the Good Earth Show
EUGENE, Ore. -- As the new year gets underway so does the Good Earth Home, Garden and Living Show, bringing sustainable living options to the Lane Events Center for its 8th annual run.
Nearly 250 businesses spent much of the week setting up vendor booths, exhibits and free seminars in preparation for the thousands of eager fans that lined up for the show's opening at 5 p.m. Friday.
The three-day event is set up to be a marketplace for consumers looking for earth-friendly options for gardening and home improvement.
Good Earth Show manager Karen Ramus said that the fun and interactive things are aimed at creating healthier, more sustainable homes and places to grow things.
"I think the new year is a perfect time to present an event like this, because people are rethinking their lives, making their plans for their garden, for remodeling," said Ramus.
This year the show features many new participants, like Sisters On The Fly with their restored vintage travel trailers.
Mary Johnson runs one of the new exhibits, built out of 7,000 pounds of debris collected from the Oregon shore.
"The washed ashore exhibit is a traveling, educational exhibit to teach about the effects of marine debris and what we can do to make a difference," said Johnson.
Admission to the Good Earth Show is free through the weekend, however people are asked to bring canned food donations that will go to Food For Lane County. The show starts up at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Acer has long been a key player in the computer world. Their strong showing in the personal computer market space should have indicated a propensity to do well in the tablet market (here is an interesting inforgraphic on Tablet Takeover) the as another "endpoint segment." So far that is not the case.
2011 saw disappointing sales for the Acer Iconia Tablet, but they are determined to persevere with tablet releases in 2012. Despite this continuation, there are rumors that Acer may be slowing its tablet production in the upcoming year. Acer's founder, Stan Shih, did state that they are not following trend s of the rumor mill and the company is not ready to give up on tablets. Also, they will be continuing with their smartphone production and have no projects on the chopping block at the moment in contradiction of recent reports.
Will Acer turn to innovative mobile accessories, such as protective bags, sleeves and cases to boost customer loyalty and sales in an increasingly competitive market? The New Year will bring news of this. The manufacturer may take the route of increasing its user base with unlocked cell phones. Or it may attempt to corner markets with signing exclusivity contracts with carriers. This writer's take is that the smartphone and tablet manufacturer will be better suited to winning over the hearts and minds of the consumer market than riding the coattails of cellular carriers that are easily and frequently vilified by governments and consumers alike.
The founder made sure to note in his statement to DigiTimes that his Taiwan based company was slow to get its start in the notebook market as well. Taking the slow and steady method, Acer did become one of the world's most recognizable and top PC vendors. Certainly not a competitor to take out of the race precipitously.
