For the third time this year, Curve pitcher Jameson Taillon is dealing with a peculiar stiff neck issue that he can't explain and has arisen after waking up in the morning.
Many people wake up awkwardly and get a crick in their neck that makes it uncomfortable to turn their head for a day or two. It's hard to explain why it happens, but it's certainly more problematic when it keeps reoccurring with a high-profile athlete.
"I don't really know what's going on, honestly," said Taillon, who's scheduled to start Tuesday night at Trenton, but that outing would seem doubtful at this point.
The Curve lost to Erie on Saturday, 6-4, before 4,762 fans at Peoples Natural Gas Field. Afterward, Taillon still had the stiff neck and had to turn most of his body to look to his left.
He was to be seen by a doctor in the clubhouse for precautionary reasons.
Taillon had the same thing happen during spring training and recovered quickly. It happened again in early June, forcing him to skip a start.
Taillon started Thursday night and had no issues, going seven innings for a win against Erie.
"I threw the other night, felt great, woke up, felt great," he said. "[Friday] I worked out, ran, felt fine. I went to bed, woke up [Saturday] and it just started hurting again on my left side."
Asked if it's scary to have had it happen three times now, Taillon said, "I don't really know. I don't think it's from throwing and stuff because [Friday] I felt fine. I went to bed, felt fine. I woke up and even felt OK. Before I ever got here and played catch it started acting up. It would be nice if it didn't keep coming back, but I'm not too, too worried about it."
The Pirates obviously have high hopes for Taillon, the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2010 and one of the top prospects in the minor leagues. The neck issue is odd only in the fact that it's happened three times now, but anything that keeps a player like Taillon from being able to perform has to be taken seriously, even if it is only a crick in the neck.
"We've got to get more information before we get a feel for anything," Pirates assistant general manager Kyle Stark said Saturday night. "Nobody, including J-Mo, anticipates this being anything significant.
"I think every year you've got guys - you may not necessarily know it or not - but guys deal with nagging things," Stark added.
Taillon said he's "not overly concerned right now" since it's his neck and not his arm. He believes it's "just a sleep thing."
Sleep positioning isn't usually something players get asked about, but in this case it's relevant.
"I do move a lot. I'm all over the place," Taillon said. "It feels almost like it would be on my back with my neck kind of on my chest, I don't really know."
Game recap
Key player: Erie LF Tyler Collins went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a run.
Key play: Collins' two-run homer in the eighth off reliever Quinton Miller (1-4) broke up a 4-4 tie. 1B Justin Howard hit a three-run homer for the Curve in the third.
Key stat: The Curve had their three-game winning streak snapped.
How they scored
Bottom 1st: Maggi doubled, scored on Polanco single (1-0); Dickerson double scored Polanco (2-0).
Top 3rd: Robbins doubled, scored on Gaynor double (2-1); Suarez two-run homer scored Gaynor (2-3).
Bottom 3rd: Dickerson walked, scored on Howard two-run homer (4-3).
Top 7th: Douglas tripled, scored on Gaynor groundout (4-4).
Top 8th: Fields singled, scored on Collins two-run homer (4-6).

Gymnastics Team Returns to MAC Action Saturday
Ball State's women's gymnastics team will return to Mid-American Conference action with its 2-0 record when the Cardinals compete at Eastern Michigan Saturday at 7 p.m.

Authorities in California's Central Valley say that two people are dead after a small airplane crashed en route from San Diego to Fresno.

Pruitt says when emergency crews arrived they found the two people on board dead.
The identities of the two people have not been released.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says the single-engine Beechcraft BE-35 disappeared from radar and radio contact around 4 p.m. on Sunday

The Pop-Tarts Crazy Good Summer concert performer, 20 – who completed treatment for emotional and physical issues in January 2011 – opened up about substance abuse more than a year later, explaining, "Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs. They wanted me to come back so I would be seen there … Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says 'no.' That's why so many end up overdosing and dying. It could definitely have happened to me."
Now, with news of Monteith's death from a mixture of heroin and alcohol, The X Factor panelist, who launched the Lovato Treatment Scholarship Program in June, hopes this tragedy will at least spread awareness.
"All it takes is one moment of vulnerability to get slipped into your addiction," she told PEOPLE Wednesday. "It's not a choice. Nobody chooses to use. He didn't choose to die. It was the disease. It can creep up on you at any moment. It only takes one moment of relapse to potentially die. It's really scary, but I'm really hoping that from this, people are able to see this is a very, very, very dangerous disease."
The "Made in the U.S.A." singer, who says she deals with her issues daily, acknowledges she can't do the same things as the friends she considers "normies."
"They can turn 21 and have their turn-21st-birthday," she says. "I don't think that I – I just don't put myself in those situations where I'm going to be at those 21st birthdays. I don't go to clubs. I just know it's something I can't do without being triggered. And that's okay."
Lovato, whose heart is "really, really broken" over the fallen Glee star, 31, says she especially feels for his girlfriend, Lea Michele.
"The main person in my thoughts is Lea," Lovato says. "I am praying for her so hard and I love her so much. I'm wishing her a lot of strength right now."
Fans of Monteith's may make donations in his name to three charities that were especially important to him: Project Limelight Society, which exposes youth living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to the arts; Virgin Unite, founded to support entrepreneurial efforts to better the world; and Chrysalis, which helps homeless and low-income individuals find employment.

quote: I wouldn't be so fast. How long do normal metal slap bracelets last? The metal fatigue and then the plastic ones get bent in the wrong direction causing creases across the plastic. I don't foresee a slap bracelet lasting more than a year when taking it off every night. It would be better if it was a bendable screen with a connector on both ends to connect together.

hand/wrist warmers with vintage button "ring"
(See below photo for how the gloves look on a hand... if I had a hand model, I'd have her wearing them while both hands cupped a mug of hot cocoa or something, you get the picture. And I guess I need a neck model, too.)
It's really the time of year to start thinking/creating/shopping handmade gifts if you want to have them all ready in time for the holidays. I'm almost positive we'll be 100% handmade with our gift giving this year, which absolutely excites me!
I've also been thinking about my large arsenal of yarn and vintage buttons and how I could possibly make a few simple items like the hand/wrist warmers and maybe some other fun patterns and maybe sell them?
And I guess I might be seeking out your [free] opinions. Would they be something you'd like to buy for yourself or as gifts? (I have a more unisex/men's version that is all ribbed, too.) Would $20-$25 a pair be too expensive?
I was thinking about making mismatched pairs like one orange & one pink, or one robin's egg blue & one red, and of course matching pairs in all sorts of awesome colors and neutrals, etc. And the buttons could be an accent near the wrist, or on just one hand as a "ring," or no buttons at all.
Also. Are you giving handmade this year? Do you have any awesome (and affordable) suggestions for handmade gifts for kids? Maybe even simple things I can make myself? I wrote about simplifying the holidays last year and hope to do even better this year.
Just some thoughts for now.
I guess in the meantime I could start taking orders (Julie's was for trade in her shop... hello! I should probably use it to give a gift to someone but I really want to keep for myself, and I'm pretty sure I'll be sending her fabric of my own to use!)
I'm always knitting for other people so the next pair I start on today will be for moi.
You can keep up with my knitting shenanigans on ravelry- I'm BabywearKnittery.

i just saw it lol i'm kinda late xD but it was good
i wanted to see it but couldnt find a ride lol or anyone to go with. cause i wouldnt want to go by myself it makes me feel left out or lonely....<~~i`ll just take my time~~>
let's take back our symbol
I liked it but it was long. They probably could've streamlined it like not having the twin brother, Sigourney Weaver probably could've explained stuff more scientifically because there was little explanation like the nerve ganglion the navi used (why did every animal have one?). Also, the marines were basically the same as the ones from Aliens (portrayed as dumbasses). It was good, but predictable and it relied a lot on the special effects when they probably could've used natural environments for the most part to illicit the same awe.
<~~life is tough, but its tougher if your stupid~~>

Man charged with synethetic drug distribution

"It's always sad and shocking when somebody so young dies, but one of the things that made it even more upsetting is that so many of us who knew and loved him were actively involved in trying to get him better," Murphy said in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter.
Fox, which airs Glee, announced Friday that the series has delayed production, as well as its fifth season premiere date, in the wake of Monteith's death at 31 from a toxic mix of heroin and alcohol.
"When you're faced with something so sad and so shocking, what do you do? Do we cancel the show? Do we start shooting in January? What do we do?" Murphy said in the interview. "Ultimately, we decided the best thing for everyone is to get back to work and be around people who knew him and loved him so that everyone can grieve together."
As for Monteith's character Finn Hudson, McKinley High's football star-turned-glee clubber, Murphy says the role will not be re-cast. The current plan, he says, is to pay tribute in the season's third episode.
"The right thing to do for the show, at least at this point, is to have that character pass," Murphy says. "When we do the tribute episode to that character, we'll have to do it in a way where the castmembers will not have to re-create feelings of grief that they've had this week – but do it in an upbeat way."
Murphy also says he spoke with Monteith's costar and real-life girlfriend, Lea Michele, telling her he would understand if she didn't want to return to Glee. But, he says, she said that was not an option.
For much more on Monteith's rise to fame, his past addiction struggles and his final days in Vancouver, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands now
Fans of Monteith may make donations in his name to three charities that were especially important to him: Project Limelight Society, which exposes youth living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to the arts; Virgin Unite, founded to support entrepreneurial efforts to better the world; and Chrysalis, which helps homeless and low-income individuals find employment.

On January 1st, I bet you�like so many of us,�felt super-hopeful and enthusiastic about that new year�s resolution to start a running program, or go to the gym four times a week or do yoga every day.
Now, as we edge forward into February and March, maybe it�s not as easy to maintain that resolve, especially for those of us in the dark mid-winter when all we really want to do is hibernate.� My running program stalled out last week because there was just no way I was going out there with a wind chill factor of minus 25 degrees Celsius. No. Way.
Weather isn�t the only deterrent. It�s just not all that easy to stay as excited about anything over the long haul as we are the day we embark on it, full of optimism and gusto.
If you�re having difficulty staying motivated, here are 14 suggestions for getting out the door, to the mat, or wherever you need to go to fulfill your training commitment.

Celebrate, network, and learn at SNRE's 25th anniversary celebration for the Center for Sustainable Systems
The Center for Sustainable Systems is turning 25! What began in 1991 as the National Pollution Prevention Center for Higher Education (NPPC) has grown over 25 years into the authority on sustainable systems. In the process, CSS has produced 200 projects, 500 publications, and 2,000 alumni who have made a difference globally.
When a US EPA competitive grant launched the NPPC in 1991, its mission was to collect, develop, and distribute educational materials on pollution prevention. In 1997, the mission expanded to encompass sustainability and systems analysis.
John Craighead (M.S. '40, Ph.D. '49) and Frank Craighead (M.S. '40, Ph.D. '49) - identical twins known for their thrill-seeking and love of practical jokes – grew up with a deep connection to the outdoors. They made wildlife management history when they stuck a transmitter on a bear.
Shortly before his ninth birthday, Jose Gonzalez (M.S. '09) moved with his family to California, where Gonzalez noted that many Americans travel to nature in order to have a "nature experience" - a concept he had not previously encountered. As a child in rural Mexico, nature was always just outside his door.
Without Sharon Miller's commitment to our community and our institution, alumni relations may look very differently than it does today.
Picture this: It's the 1970s. A deep economic recession just hit. The auto industry is in trouble, and government funding for higher education is dropping precipitously. The University needs to cut costs.
Many count exposing children to toxins among the worst environmental crimes. But studies by SNRE Professor Paul Mohai and Dr. Byoung-Suk Kweon (University of Maryland) show that it is also among the most pervasive: these researchers found that a majority of public schools in Michigan are located in highly polluted areas.
SNRE's Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program is now underway! Each summer, the program brings 20 undergraduates from environmental studies or a related field to SNRE for an eight-week summer internship program.
This is the program's first year at SNRE. They have welcomed participants from 17 colleges and universities around the country to work in labs alongside SNRE faculty, research scientists, and doctoral students.
Do you live in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Bozeman, Denver/Boulder, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Boston, DC, Chicago, New York, or Minneapolis? Do you want to connect with other SNREds in your area and have fun doing it? Then look no further than SNRE's Regional Alumni Clubs!
Six innovative student groups from SNRE were featured in a new publication, Made at Michigan, created by Innovate Blue. Made at Michigan is U-M's first annual report of student innovation and entrepreneurship campus-wide. The magazine-style publication highlights more than 80 student ventures over a broad variety of disciplines, including for-profits, nonprofits, and innovative products and services with market potential.
Professors Steve Yaffee and Julia Wondolleck have just launched a new web-based teaching tool to help people understand facilitation strategies and collaborative decision making. The new website follows in SNRE's strong tradition of work in conflict management and collaborative problem solving, while using new technology that enables engaged learning. According to Yaffee, "We built this site to provide users with a stepwise guide for facilitating a complicated public
Rocky Rohwedder, MS '79, began his journey with a single, central question: "Are there highly successful examples of communities lifting themselves out of poverty, while simultaneously lowering their ecological footprint?" Based on decades of exploration, he has found the answer to be a resounding yes. Illuminating that link for others prompted Rocky to write Ecological Handprints, an interactive eBook focused on proven grass-roots remedies that both ameliorate poverty and restore ecological resilience.

Wednesday, Gov. Neil Abercrombie appointed Lt. Gov. Brian Schatz to fulfill the term of the late Daniel Inouye in the United States Senate.
These are impossible shoes to fill, but we hope that Schatz has a few attributes that are essential now for Hawaii - and for the country.
Hawaii is the lynchpin in the country's defense strategy for threats from the Far East. Sen. Inouye constantly reminded his colleagues of Hawaii's essential geographic position - and his status and seniority ensured the proper resources were always deployed here.
While Schatz is building his own credentials and seniority in the Senate, he needs to constantly invoke Inouye's mantra - Hawaii is the first line of defense against North Korea, China, et al.
In the Senate, Schatz should be competitive but collegial, assertive but willing to bargain and forge alliances. The new senator will have to convince colleagues of Hawaii's importance to the defense of the country. Even though it seems obvious that our geographical location is key, the Senate will have to be reminded time and again why defense dollars should be spent in Hawaii.
By dint of being appointed before the end of the current 112th Congress, Schatz will be the senior senator from Hawaii. He will be more senior than Mazie Hirono and the other freshman senators of the 113th Congress who will be sworn in on Jan. 3.
Inouye's replacement may well have to vote on a bill or bills this week related to averting the "fiscal cliff," so our new senator will have to hit the ground running.
Schatz is going to have the toughest job any Hawaii politician has ever faced. He has to replace a legend. And he starts that job with one arm tied behind his back in the Senate, seniority rules. He has none.
Strength of character is going to have to substitute for decades of seniority.

A funeral for four children killed in fire has been conducted in eastern Kentucky.
The fire on Jan. 9 killed the children and their father. It also critically burned their mother.
WYMT-TV reported the observance was held Sunday at Virgie Middle School.
The children who died were the sons and daughters of Billy Wilfong and Tammie Tucker. Wilfong died in the fire at the family's home.
The children were 5-year-old Dakota, 4-year-old Tyler, 2-year-old Cheyenne and 6-month-old Emily.
The fire engines that battled the fire were parked at the school in honor of the children.
Family members and friends released balloons in memory to the children, following the funeral service.

"i've considered what's at stake, for myself, by sharing this – but i find myself without regard for that," Pyfrom writes. "i won't allow my selfish needs to get in the way of potentially reaching another human being's life."
Pyfrom played Andrew Van De Kamp, the son of Marcia Cross's character on the hit ABC drama, for eight years. In his open letter, Pyfrom touches on how his addiction may have contributed to his acting – but concludes that his success was not worth the pain.
"some people could argue that drugs have provided some of the most memorable, creative artists this planet has ever experienced. jimi hendrix, kurt cobain…the list goes on. but drugs also took their lives away," he writes.
"even i could say, for myself, that if it weren't for the struggles and experience of my addictions; i would not have created the things that i have. i can argue that with all certainty, in fact. but i would have much rather lived the moments that i lost; and seen what would have come, creatively, as a result of that."
In the end, abusing alcohol and drugs strained Pyfrom's personal and professional relationships, he admits.
"i wasted the time of valuable people, who worked so hard to pull my career to a higher place, by allowing my addictions to tug me out of their grip," he says.
Since leaving Desperate Housewives, Pyfrom has kept a low profile, guest-starring on Rizzoli & Isles and appearing in the 2013 TV movie Killing Lincoln. But Hollywood hasn't forgotten him: Fans and fellow celebrities shared their support for Pyfrom online after he posted his letter.
"you are brave & strong," Pretty Little Liars actress Lucy Hale Tweeted on Sunday. "I admire your honesty, my friend."
Fashionista and former Revenge actress Ashley Madekwe also showed Pyfrom love, Tweeting, "Brave boy," with a heart emoticon.

What is the idea behind stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma?
A peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant is commonly employed in the treatment of myeloma. It is a procedure used to restore the immune system of myeloma patients who have had high-dose chemotherapy treatments that previously destroyed their immune cells. The idea behind transplant is that it allows one to treat more intensively than one could in the absence of a transplant. Many chemotherapy drugs suppress some of the faster-growing cells in the body, of which the bone marrow is one. When the bone marrow is suppressed, you cannot make certain blood components because the marrow is the "blood factory." A low white count puts you at risk for infection; a low platelet count puts you at risk for bleeding. Most people can tolerate low blood counts for short period of time, but the longer such conditions last, the more vulnerable one becomes to these side effects. So, after high doses of chemotherapy completely destroy the marrow and, hopefully, the myeloma cells as well, the re-infusion of these "baby cells" restarts the marrow growth and function. In order to perform a PBSC transplant, one must collect stem cells that will be used to restart the marrow after the transplant. The more stem cells you transplant, the faster you restart the marrow, and the shorter the period of vulnerability.
How would you compare the colony-stimulating factors that are currently used and MOZOBIL™ (AMD3100)?
Colony-stimulating factors such as G-CSF (filgrastim) induce the marrow to grow, while MOZOBIL is a new agent that aids in releasing stem cells into circulating blood where they can be collected by a process called apheresis.
What is MOZOBIL's mechanism of action?
MOZOBIL inhibits the chemokine receptors that act as "anchors" holding these baby cells to the marrow. Alternatively, you can think of this "anchoring" as two sides of a piece of Velcro, or a lock and key. MOZOBIL disrupts this action, and it does so directly, as opposed to the indirect effects of G-CSF. The effects of G-CSF are not seen for 4 or 5 days. The effects of MOZOBIL are seen much more quickly, in 4 to 6 hours, reflecting the fact that the cells aren't just growing, but also being released. It may be that these complementary effects are why the combination seems to be more effective than either of the drugs alone.
Has MOZOBIL been studied as a single agent?
It is currently being studied as a single agent in a Phase II clinical trial. Also, it is being used in addition to one of the current standards of care. In Europe, Phase II trials are ongoing to evaluate MOZOBIL in combination with different stem cell mobilizing regimens, including chemotherapy.
Can you tell us about MOZOBIL's clinical development?
In Phase I clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects. In Phase II clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety. In Phase III clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely. MOZOBIL's clinical program is designed to evaluate its ability to improve overall transplantation procedure by increasing stem cells available for transplant.
Can you describe the study design and how each patient was able to be his or her own control?
Each patient got mobilized twice, first either with G-CSF alone followed by G-CSF and MOZOBIL combined, or vise versa. There were approximately 2 weeks of rest between the two mobilizing approaches. Who got mobilized with which approach first was decided by a "computer coin toss." That way, the results were not biased in favor of either approach. Scientifically, we thought that this was a more precise way to do the study. Controlled trials are more convincing than studies that do not use a control, and allow investigators to get a better handle on the effectiveness of the drug when studying a smaller group of patients. While a Phase II trial is not as definitive as a randomized Phase III trial with hundreds of patients, I do think that it gave us far more information than we would have had if we only mobilized with a combination and not studied how these same patients did with G-CSF alone.
What did the data from your Phase II trial show?
A combination of MOZOBIL and G-CSF is better than G-CSF alone to mobilize and collect the optimal number of stem cells for autologous transplantation. The combination has shown potential to help more patients collect more cells and improve the transplant procedure.T he use of MOZOBIL increased the number of stem cells in peripheral blood and also reduced the number of apheresis sessions required for patients to reach the target number of stem cells collected.
Five of the patients who received G-CSF alone and failed to collect, were then successfully able to mobilize enough stem cells with a combination of G-CSF and MOZOBIL. Four of the patients who were successfully given a combination of G-CSF and MOZOBIL initially, afterwards failed to collect with G-CSF alone.
Up to 65% of transplant patients have poor or sub-optimal mobilization using G-CSF alone, and there are no medical guidelines to predict which patients will respond poorly to G-CSF mobilization. These patients may require additional mobilization sessions to achieve a sufficient collection for transplantation. Patients transplanted with a sub-optimal number of cells can experience a delayed recovery of their immune system, and are at greater risk for infection and may require additional days of antibiotics, blood transfusions, and extended hospitalization. MOZOBIL possibly allows for a more rapid collection of a larger number of stem cells from the peripheral blood. Larger stem cell doses for transplantation are correlated to faster recovery times.
At this time, I am very upbeat that MOZOBIL has the potential to become part of the standard of care for myeloma. Of the 25 patients treated, 9 could not have been transplanted with G-CSF mobilization alone. Other patients in the study were able to save one or more days of apheresis due to the use of the G-CSF and MOZOBIL combination. Approximately 84% of patients treated derived benefit form the combination, and that's a very substantial improvement.
Blood published Phase II data in September 2005, and we will report new Phase II data at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) conference in December 2005. Based on Phase II results, as well as historical data from standard stem cell mobilization regimens using G-CSF alone, a Phase III clinical trial initiated patient enrollment in January 2005.
What about side effects?
The side effects profile is very good. There have been very few serious side effects, and none of them could be related to MOZOBIL Ð they occurred during or after transplant, well after MOZOBIL was administered, or they occurred during mobilization with G-CSF alone, before MOZOBIL was ever administered. The fairly mild and brief side effects we've seen include discomfort at the site of the injection, pins and needles in the fingers and toes, and GI upset.
What can you tell us about the Phase III trial?
This study is intended to determine whether the combination of MOZOBIL plus G-CSF is better than placebo plus G-CSF. One of the Phase III studies being conducted is exclusively enrolling several hundred myeloma patients (see list of U.S. centers below). This study is randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, comparative. To be as scientifically rigorous as possible, and to avoid any bias, the Phase III study is only enrolling patients undergoing the stem cell collection process for a transplant for the first time.
What about patients who have previously failed to collect enough stem cells for a transplant?
AnorMED, the pharmaceutical company developing MOZOBIL, has a compassionate use program that might be available to patients who have already attempted mobilization and were not successful.
What are your thoughts about PBSC transplant for myeloma as opposed to standard therapy?
There have been some randomized studies, which have suggested that there are more patients disease-free at later time points in their illness with PBSC transplant than with non-transplant therapies. But this is a moving target because new agents continue to become available for treatment within and outside the transplant setting. Fortunately, there is much progress being made in the field of myeloma.

The Pennsylvania Superior Court has refused further review of the conviction of an Altoona man sentenced to a state prison term on charges he attempted to have unlawful contact with a minor.
Leonard Stossel, 62, was sentenced to five to 10 years behind bars followed by seven years' probation after he was arrested for attempting to set up a meeting with a teenager.
Stossel, as it turned out, had been communicating with an agent of the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office who canvasses Internet chat rooms in search of child predators.
He was sentenced on Dec. 1, 2006, and was paroled from the State Correctional Institution at Mercer last summer.
Although released from prison, Stossel is still fighting the charges against him. Last July, he appealed to the Superior Court Blair County Judge Timothy M. Sullivan's ruling that denied him further appeals in his case because his last petition was filed nearly two years after the deadline.
A three-judge panel of the Superior Court, including Susan Peikes Gantman, Paula Francisco Ott and James J. Fitzgerald, ruled this week that Sullivan's ruling denying further review of the case due to an untimely petition was correct.
Defendants have a year to file post-conviction petitions after the initial round of appeals in the state courts have been completed.
The Superior Court upheld Stossel's conviction and sentence on Nov. 8, 2007, but it wasn't until June 2, 2010, that he challenged his conviction in a post-conviction petition.
Sullivan denied Stossel's request for further review because his petition was untimely.
Stossel, however, maintained that he missed the one-year deadline for filing an appeal because of serious eye problems.
Sullivan indicated that Stossel's vision problems were resolved in June 2008, yet his petition for further review wasn't filed until June 2010.
The Superior Court panel stated Sullivan's opinion was "well-reasoned," and the Court "adopted" his opinion and rejected further appeal.
Stossel, who is represented by attorney Timothy Burns, has the right to ask the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to overrule the Superior Court decision.

Enthusiasm and vigor for the rapidly growing canola industry produced a bountiful turnout of intrigued farmers at the Winter Canola Risk Management School on March 13 in Concordia, Kan.
Kansas canola production experts — some of whom have been producing their own fields of canola for the past two years — shared their knowledge about growing the crop in north central Kansas during the meeting, hosted by Kansas State University's River Valley Research and Extension District.
Canola oil is increasing in popularity and in demand for cooking, similar to the wave of interest that preceded for sunflower oil.
With 80 percent of canola still imported into the U.S., many of the 65 farmers in attendance are merely growing fields of knowledge when it comes to canola.
"It's unknown yet whether we will farm canola. We're here to find out options. We're open to new and better farming methods," shared Lynda Tobald, who, with her husband, John, farms wheat, soybeans and milo and has a cattle operation in Glasco, Kan.
Landowner Mary McCabe of Beloit, Kan., too, was eager to soak up information about the crop that's growing in interest.
"Winter hardiness is my major concern in north central Kansas. We also have no local delivery points," noted McCabe, who attended the canola meeting with her farmer, Tom Denere.
But, "yes, we plan to begin growing canola," said Denere.
One of the experts at the canola meeting, Mike Stamm, has successfully grown winter canola for the past two and a half years through his variety trials at Kansas State University's North Central Kansas Research Field, west of Belleville, Kan. He acknowledged that the prolonged cold 2013-2014 winter in Kansas and throughout the Plains was a challenge for canola's winter hardiness.
"Before you make your final decision on what kind of survival you have, let the crop start to re-grow, and make sure that if you're seeing winterkill, that it is, in fact, what it is. If you go look in the fields now, you can find green plants there, and we have to remember that even if the canola crop has a thin stand, that it can compensate and still produce a nice, respectable yield," said Mike Stamm, Kansas State University Research and Extension canola breeder, and associate agronomist.
"It has been a tougher year," he continued, "because of the colder temperatures, and we haven't had a test of survival like this in the last 10 years. We're learning a lot about the cultivars we can grow in north central Kansas, so for those who have canola, don't write it off too soon."
Stamm told The Fence Post, that winter canola has proven to be a profitable crop for Kansas producers in recent years, leading to a need for further education.
Stamm said canola can be grown as far north as the Nebraska Panhandle, but is only planted on limited acres in Nebraska.
"If you have soil moisture, plant early," he advised.
Regarding the appropriate seeding rate, Stamm recommended three and a half to five pounds of seed for 15 inches or less in row spacing.
Stamm suggested canola plants need:
• 6 to 8 true leaves.
• 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch root diameter.
• An extensive root system.
When comparing last year's data to this year's, Stamm said that some varieties which performed really well last year probably won't do as well this year.
"We just didn't test the survival of the crop like we did this year, but we recommend using all the data gathered to make a good decision about what to plant," said Stamm. "Definitely look at the varieties that have been developed by the K-State program."
In a handbook written in part by Stamm, canola is defined as being, "a type of edible rapeseed, genetically low in erucic acid and glucosinolates. The seeds are sources of healthy cooking oil and high-protein meal for livestock."
Stamm said there are options in the future to develop and offer brands with high-oleic acid, which is an Omega 9 monounsaturated fat that experts say lowers cholesterol, and doesn't thicken up and gum-up equipment.
Another speaker at the canola meeting focused on canola establishment practices.
"Canola greens up slower than winter wheat. Peak of nutrient uptake (such as nitrogen and potassium) and water use is around the flowering time. Any biotic (pests) or biotic (drought or heat) stresses affecting canola around flowering will be indefinitely impacting the final yields.
Additionally, we recommend even planting depth and adequate moisture at planting, which are critical. Also, keep the crown (of the plant) close to the surface," advised Ignacio Ciampitti, assistant professor at the Agronomy Department at Kansas State University, and a crop production and state cropping systems specialist.
Regarding the ideal planting date in north central Kansas, Ciampitti provided the following recommendations:
• In north central Kansas, plant Sept. 1-15.
• In south central Kansas – plant Sept. 10-25.
• In southwest Kansas – plant Aug. 25-Sept. 15.
• Plant nine to 10 weeks prior to a killing frost (25 degrees.)
• Also, as a rule of thumb, plant one month earlier than winter wheat.
Ciampitti advised the packed crowd that potential for winter survival is increased when the canola plants show these signs:
• 6 inches to 12 inches of top growth.
• Stem length remains unchanged, but has thickened.
• Hardened winter canola can withstand temperatures less than 0 degrees F.
"For the plant population study, using open pollination varieties, we did not see any consistent trend, which also demonstrates the plasticity of the crop to compensate for low plant populations. Still, during this current year, we are investigating the effect of the new canola 'hybrids' under diverse plant populations. Thus, more information related to this topic will be available soon after harvesting this crop," Ciampitti told The Fence Post.
Narrow rows resulted in greater winter survival than wide rows in a southwest Kansas study from Garden City, Kan. Using a hoe opener or coulter improved the yield.
"However, row spacing is less important than just doing everything else right," declared Ciampitti.
Regarding residue management, Ciampitti said it resulted in greater fall vigor of canola plants and greater resistance to fall freezes, although it had no effect on stand establishment and the amount of fall growth.
Burning provided about the same effects as other methods of residue removal, although it did leave about 40 percent of the total residue weight remaining.
"We feel that it's not necessary to till, in order to realize benefits of residue removal. The most important thing to keep in mind is moving the residue out of the seed furrow. Canola does not like residue in the furrow," Ciampitti told the crowd.
In his summary, Ciampitti concluded the following:
• Planting date and cultivar are two of the most important components for successful establishment of canola, fall vigor, winter survival and yield.
• If no-till planting canola, plant on the early side of the planting window.
• Since row spacing didn't ultimately create larger yields, producers may consider wider rows to help in precise seed metering and residue management.
Following the canola presentations and lunch at Heavy's Barbeque, the five dozen farmers traveled to a nearby canola field planted in late 2013 by Brad Berk, a rural Concordia farmer.
"Two of the three varieties that I planted will be okay. We'll know more soon. It's just starting to come out of dormancy now," said Berk, who also farms corn, soybeans and a little wheat. "We've got plans to plant more canola this fall. It's a different growing season than the corn and soybeans, so we kind of split up our risk a little bit. They grow through the summer, but the canola grows through the winter, and it's still related to the oil seed market, like soybeans, which I like."
"The canola plants look a little bit rougher, because we have lost some plants (in the unusually cold winter)," said Stamm after observing Berk's canola field. "We'll know in the next couple of weeks, as the plants start to re-grow. At K-State Research and Extension, we're committed to providing both new and experienced producers the tools necessary to manage the agronomics and marketing of winter canola."
The day-long presentation and field trip enabled farmers to glean insight into a possible new field of dreams.
"What a great opportunity for crop producers and those involved in the agriculture industry to get a detailed overview of winter canola production and its possibilities in North Central Kansas. Winter canola has proven successful the past two years at K-State's North Central Kansas Experiment Field. I am happy to see the interest in our area for learning about incorporating winter canola into cropping rotations here," said Kim Larson, crop production agent, with K-State's Research and Extension River Valley District.
After the presentation, several farmers told The Fence Post, they're no longer "on the fence" about canola.
For farmer Fred Severance — who farms wheat, milo and soybeans in Asherville, Kan., just southwest of Concordia — the canola spring meeting was a golden opportunity to learn ... and grow.
"I'm seriously considering farming canola," said Severance.
So are the Tobalds.
"I would encourage producers to use the data that we're going to generate out of the Belleville location this year, to help with their variety selection," said Stamm. "So, don't give up on it, if you've got a crop out there in the field." ❖

Looking Forward to the 85th Annual Academy Awards
We are nearing the end of the 2013 Awards Season, which means that the Oscars are quickly approaching. In less than a week a new batch of filmmakers and artists will be able to prefix their names with the prestigious "Academy Award Winner…" Unlike many of my generation, I enjoy the Oscars immensely. It is true that the speeches and constant commercial breaks can get tedious, but I see the Academy Awards as a celebration of new Hollywood and Old Hollywood, as young starlets walk down the same red carpet as Audrey Hepburn and Bette Davis.

There's no way 50 Cent gave it his 100%.
That's what critics are saying about rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's first pitch at the Pirates-Mets game at Citi Field on Tuesday night, which is being touted as one of the worst first pitches in history.
After what Mets announcer Gary Cohen very generously describes as "not great... juuuuust a bit outside," Fiddy smiles sheepishly and walks off the mound.
"The pitch was so bad, though, it makes me think it might have been intentional. It HAD to be intentional," writes Nate Scott at FTW.
OK so yes, 50 Cent may not be the best pitcher of all time. But he'll always be better than Hero Cat, bless his heroic soul.

Dorlee Michaeli's curator insight, November 24, 2015 9:07 PM
Robin Good wisely notes that the added value a curator brings to the table is his/her time, the judgment of whether the particular article(s) are of value and what items to highlight.
Jeff Domansky's comment, August 3, 2:30 AM
Robin, my view is that better tools help us be better curators. Finding higher quality content faster allows more quality time for curators to add more valuable insight. I welcome better time-saving tools. Cheers!
Robin Good's comment, August 3, 5:00 AM
Jeff: Like if we got a better Photoshop we could do better images. The talent is not in the tools, but in our heads. Tools can help, but they can't make you do better work than what you are capable of. Practice is what does it. My two cents.

Silk is a web tool to publish online spreadsheet-based data on a specific topic.
The service, which just released a new version of its offering, allows to easily convert any existing data-set into professional-looking data displays, charts, grids, and lists that can be embedded on any site and which can be viewed in multiple ways.
The value of Silk is specifically in making it easy and immediate for anyone to elegantly display and publish data sets in one of several alternative formats which include:Table ListGrid MosaicGroupsBarsMapDonutLinePieScatterStacks
How it works: Import a table from Excel, Google Sheets or any .csv file, select the fields you want to import and Silk does the rest offering you tools to filter, edit and select your preferred visualization approach.
You can also create data sets and displays from scratch inside Silk, and set each Silk either as public or private.
Why it is relevant for content curators: Silk provides a unique and powerful opportunity to leverage existing data and information assets, spreadsheets and databases and to convert them into highly legible and visually impactful data displays on a very specific topic.
My evaluation: Paired with the power of Kimonolabs or Import.io to convert any website or page content into a spreadsheet, it offers great potential in creating value by providing multiple professional formats to display, present and interact with such data.
Free forever for public Silks of up to 3000 pages.

Filomena Gomes's curator insight, April 18, 2015 9:54 AM
Robin Good's insight:
This article points out in multiple ways and with some interesting supporting data how big is the problem for schools and educational institutions in trying to identify relevant tools to adopt in absence of expert trusted guides that they can rely on.
The Hechingerreport writes: "...school leaders on this new frontier face a daunting challenge: from the slew of highly touted new products, how do they pick the right ones?
"It's hard for our people to know what all of the choices are," said Penny Hodge, the assistant superintendent of budget and finance in Roanoke. "Maybe there were even better choices and we weren't aware."
Today's school leaders must navigate a market with little trustworthy evidence to show what works. Billions of dollars are being spent while educators try to untangle a maze of sales pitches."
The problem of identifying the most appropriate tools, services or products is not a problem limited only to the education sector. Just about anyone who is not an tech-expert in his area would have a hard time today finding the most appropriate tools in the midst of so many offerings and so little trustworthy information about them.
"Part of the reason is that credible evidence often isn't available. Only one-third of school technology directors surveyed said that education technology companies offer reliable data on their products, according to the survey."
The solution to this issue is already starting to emerge in the form of both non-profit and commercial companies who will devote their time and resources to scout, test, verify and review tools while providing the means to search, filter and compare them easily.
Graphite.org, Edshelf are just two among many emerging examples of "reputable curation websites, with professional reviews and a social media component" that provide a one-stop solution for those in need of an expert and trusted guide in the tools for education area.
Must read for anyone interested in better understanding where we are headed when it comes to choosing tools.. 9/10

Filomena Gomes's curator insight, April 18, 2015 9:52 AM
Robin Good's insight:
Notwithstanding the viral content-marketing tam-tam keeps selling the idea of content curation as a miracle-shortcut to work less, produce more content and get all of the benefits that an online publisher would want to have, reality has quite a different shade.
Unless your readers are not very interested themselves into the topic you cover, why would they take recomendations from someone who has not even had the time to fully go through his suggested resources?
Can that be useful beyond attracting some initial extra visibility?
How can one become a trusted information source if one does not thoroughly look and understand at what he is about to recommend?
A lot more than the one needed to create normal original content.
Read, verify and vet each potential resource, by taking the time needed to do this thoroughly.
Make sense of what that resource communicates or represents / offers and be able to synthesize it for non-experts who will read about it.
Synthesize and highlight the value of the chosen resource within the context of your interest area.
Enrich the resource with relevant references, and related links for those that will want to find out more about it.
Credit and attribute sources and contributors.
Preserve, classify and archive what you want to curate.
Share, distribute, promote the curated work you have produced. Creating it is not enough.
These are many more steps and activities than the ones required to create an original piece of content.
Robert Kisalama's curator insight, April 18, 2015 11:37 AM
truly Curation should not be merely aggregating different links without taking off time to reflect indeed it is very to end up like some one buying clothes impulsively only to realise you could have done without some of them.
The Windoor's curator insight, November 18, 2015 2:07 PM
Robin Good establece extrae tres premisas del artículo como las básicas para los "novatos" curadores de contenido: nunca curar un artículo que nunca has leído entero; nunca apoyes nada en lo que no crees; y sobre todo nunca seas perezoso.

Google has just introduced "Collections", for Google+, a new service which allows any Google+ user to group his posts by topic and to create public, shareable collections of his favorite links, articles, videos and images.
To use Google Collections, simply go to your G+ profile page and then select "Collections" on the drop down menu appearing on the top left part of the page.
"Each collection can be shared publicly, privately, or with a custom set of people. Once you create your first collection, your profile will display a new tab where other people can find and follow your collections."
You can either create new posts containing whatever type of content inside a collection, or assign an existing, published post to a collection you have just created.
You can create as many collections as you like.
Google+ Collections is available on the web and on Android (iOS coming later).
My comment: Google+ Collections adds opportunity for creating additional value to G+ users by letting interests drive community engagement. This is a feature that sooner or later any social network will offer.
Free to use.

Great explanation of why a Content Curation strategy is one of the best ways to build brand preference. We call this a "Give to Get" strategy. It builds relationships and trust. -Ken www.2080nonprofits.org
Helen Teague's curator insight, May 1, 2015 9:20 AM
From Robin Goode's scoop note: "
"If you can be a guide, a clearinghouse, a trusted place from where to learn, appreciate and understand more, there is no amount of outbound links that is going to counter the magnetic force you will express to those who are interested in what you are pointing to."
This is why the fear every company has about content curation - talking about *others* in the same field - has not only no reason to exist, but it is also downright counterproductive as soon as others start using it.
Content curation is a venue to make sense of existing information to facilitate access, discovery, comparison, understanding, both on the side of who curates as well as on the one of those who benefit from it.
Part of my inspiration in becoming so passionate and interested in content curation, has been ignited by a post that appeared in 2004, on Robert Scoble's popular tech blog.
Those sites will take you to the coolest stuff on the Internet. And by doing that, Engadget and Gizmodo have BECOME the coolest places on the Internet. Just like Craig's List, Google, eBay."
Takeaway: The more valuable resources, info and tools you share with your audience/community the more trustworthy and reputable you will appear in their hearts and eyes.
"Send your visitors away" is a simple but valuable content marketing advice and it is at the heart of what a good content curator does. Finding and sharing great resources that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. "

"Wonder was built to bring human-centric guidance back to the pursuit of knowledge on the web."
in other words: "Away from algorithmically sorted lists of links, and back to human-guided curation, evaluation and advice for those who don't need just a store address on a map".
Wonder is a new free web service which touts to be your online personal research assistant. Behind its minimalist website there's a crew of human beings that actually goes out to gather and bring back to you valuable answers and resources to your questions.
How does it work?
You just register via FB, Twitter or with your own email and then you are presented with a very simple screen in which you are asked "what are you wondering"?
Why it's relevant: Independently of the quality of the results that Wonder may initially bring to you, this new service highlights a growing trend toward trusted guides, expert curators of information, and their human voice and away from algorithmically sorted list of results like Google offers.
P.S.: In my initial tests a reply for a very specific question in one of my areas of expertise didn't bring back particularly valuable or useful suggestions as this knowledge would require an expert in the field, but less specialistic questions brought back useful responses written in a very human-style and supported by very high-quality relevant links and resources.
Here is one such question - answer as an example for you:

Robin Good's insight:
New interesting tools make it possible to create online courses and full online learning programs, by drastically simplifying the design process while providing simple tools to curate and bring together valuable existing content already published online.
The first I'd like to bring to your attention is Classmill, which makes it very easy to create online courses by providing a very simple and intuitive interface and allowing the author to add with ease his own texts, as well as images, links and video clips coming from elsewhere on the web. Anyone can publish an online course and make it visible to everyone. Only those who register and join in can see the full contents and can participate in the integrated discussion area for the course.
The second one is Learnyst, which goes one step beyond Classmill by facilitating the creation of a full online school with multiple courses and the ability to charge for selected ones.
Both tools are extremely easy to use, and allow the assembly of existing materials, whether owned or produced by others.
This is an interesting trend as in the past most tools to deliver educational content relied on the author creating and posting only his own materials. The fact that you now can easily include valuable content published by others opens up the gates both for the curation of lots of existing content into useful learning courses as well as for the issue of whether and how to compensate curated content from others.
This economic issue though, does not preclude tons of free high-quality content to be re-used and showcased in many new free learning courses and it provides those who want to learn with even more non-commercial alternatives to master their favorite topics.
Takeaway: You are going to see more of these tools and more subject-matter experts create valuable learning resources by bringing together key relevant content produced by others while adding tangible value, perspective and context.
Check out these two tools:
- Learnyst
- Classmill
Other curation tools for learning moving in the same direction:
- Gibbon
- Learnist
- Educrate
