The Atlanta Braves are reportedly interested in acquiring Carlos Beltran from the New York Mets, mlb.com reports.
The Mets are willing to foot the rest of Beltran's contract for the year – about $6 million – meaning they would be looking for highly ranked prospects, and the Braves have plenty of those. It is really a matter of which young pitching prospect(s) they are willing to let go. The Mets' willingness to pay Beltran's salary also eases the burden on Atlanta to unload the $15 million Derek Lowe is owed next year as well as the rest of his salary for this year.
Beltran, an All-Star outfielder, has had a resurgent season after playing only 145 games the last two years combined and is hitting .293 with 14 home runs.
Though he has played most of his career in center field, Beltran has primarily played right field this year. After Chipper Jones returns from the disabled list and Martin Prado goes back to left field, the Braves could either start Beltran over Jordan Schafer in center or have him platoon or even start over a struggling Jason Heyward.
Though the switch-hitting Beltran is only hitting .232 against lefites this season, it would still be a significant boost over the .173 clip Heyward has posted so far.Tags: Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Carlos Beltran, MLB, New York Mets

December 5, 2003
AMHERST, MA - After leading the Jeffs to a 12-4-4 record and their second New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Championship in the last three years, Amherst College junior forward Ashley Harmeling (N. Reading, MA) and sophomore defender Lyn Wojcik (E. Brookfield, MA) were named Division III All-New England by the New England Women's Intercollegiate Soccer Association (NEWISA). Harmeling was a first-team pick while Wojcik earned second-team honors.
Harmeling, the NESCAC Player of the Year and a first-team all-conference selection, had one of the most prolific offensive campaigns in Amherst history, shattering a pair of single-season school records with 19 goals and 42 points, both tops in the NESCAC. She cemented her outstanding season with a standout performance in the NESCAC Postseason Championship Tournament, scoring the team's lone goal in a 1-1 tie with Williams in the NESCAC semifinals, which the Jeffs won in penalty kicks, and shattering a school record with her 16th, 17th and 18th scoring strikes in a 6-0 NESCAC Championship win over Bates. Her three goals in the contest were a NESCAC Tournament record and assured the Jeffs a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Transferring from Harvard University in 2002, Harmeling was a Second-Team All-NESCAC selection as a sophomore, finishing sixth in the conference in goals per game (0.60) and ninth in points per game (1.27).
Wojcik was the top defender on an Amherst team that allowed just 18 goals in 20 games with shutout wins over Middlebury, Mt. Holyoke, Wesleyan, Williams, Bates and Bridgewater St., and scoreless ties against Trinity and Tufts. She was at her best in the postseason, during which the Jeffs surrendered just four goals in six games, marching to the NCAA New England Regional title game.

Two freak pectoral injuries have Wests Tigers and Penrith scrambling for a Plan B after the Tigers recovered from their NRL opening round stumble to down the Panthers 28-18 at Campbelltown.
Thumped by 32 points in Newcastle last Monday night, the Tigers were far more committed as they ran in five tries to three against a Panthers side which looked a distant cousin to the one that beat Canberra 32-10 in round one.
While coach Ivan Cleary wasn't prepared to throw up excuses, he did have one in the form of an injury to five-eighth Lachlan Coote, who left the field clutching his right shoulder after just 11 minutes, at which point the Panthers led 6-0.
The Tigers lost one in similar fashion with Keith Galloway going straight up the tunnel just minutes after the halftime break.
The best case scenario for both players is six weeks on the sidelines, but scans on Monday will determine the full extent of the injury.
While Galloway's absence left the home side light on for grunt up the middle, it was nothing compared to the effect Coote's withdrawal had on the Panthers.
Panthers coach Ivan Cleary was forced to move hooker Kevin Kingston to the unfamiliar five-eighth role, with super-sub James Segeyaro forced to shoulder extra minutes at dummy half.
"It definitely affected our attack today (losing Coote), but we never came here wanting to allow the Tigers to score that many points," Cleary said.
"I always get a bit nervous about early reports but it's (Coote's pectoral muscle) not ruptured so that's a good sign.
"If he can miss surgery that's only six weeks."
Cleary said he would weigh up his options to fill the No.6 jumper, with the likes of Tom Humble, Blake Austin and former Warriors playmaker Isaac John in the frame.
Galloway's injury opened up more time for prop Aaron Woods, who after an off-season hampered by a knee injury found his best form with two tries in a barnstorming display up front.
After Sika Manu's first try of the day on the back of a lucky bounce from a David Simmons kick, the Tigers scored twice before the break via halves Benji Marshall and Jacob Miller.
They could have had more only for a flamboyant Marshall flick to find the ground instead of Marika Koroibete's hands.
Woods sandwiched his double around an acrobatic Simmons effort in the corner, while Koroibete was the right man at the right time to seal the deal when he pounced on a Marshall grubber 13 minutes from time.
"We're not kidding ourselves," skipper Robbie Farah said of the win.
"They lost Lachlan Coote in the first ten minutes, Kingston had to go to five-eighth which I don't think he's ever played, Segeyaro had to play the rest of the game.
"They weren't at their best today and they still came hard at us at the end.
"There's still a fair amount of work for us to do."

Lead Instrument Systems Engineer
Pasadena CA (SPX) Feb 24, 2009
Imagine if you could scoop exactly one million molecules out of the air in front of you (while being careful not to grab any water vapor). Now, start sorting these molecules into different piles. Start with the two most common molecules and you've sorted 99 percent of your sample - the nitrogen pile will have about 780,000 molecules, and oxygen pile will have about 210,000 molecules.
Working on the third most common molecule, argon, gets you a new pile with about 9,000 molecules. Congratulations, you've sorted 99.9 percent of the molecules into just three piles. The remaining 1,000 molecules are called "trace gases." The most famous and the most common trace gas is carbon dioxide, or CO2. Out of the million you had at the beginning, you'll count about 385 CO2 molecules.
Now, imagine repeating this experiment 12 times per second while flying over Earth at more than 16,000 miles per hour. Each of those counts needs to be accurate enough to note the addition or subtraction of one molecule of CO2 per one million of air.
This is the experiment that a group of scientists and engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory conceived almost 10 years ago. We call it the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, and it is now at the launch pad waiting for its ride into space.
The heart of the mission is a very accurate instrument - called a "spectrometer" - tuned to sense the presence of CO2. A spectrometer is a type of camera that splits incoming light into hundreds of different colors and then measures the amount of light in each of these colors. In the case of this mission, the spectrometer measures sunlight that has passed through the atmosphere twice: once on the way down to the surface, and then again on the way up to the orbiting spacecraft.
When the light passes through air containing CO2, certain colors are absorbed. The spectrometer creates an image with dark bands where the sunlight is partially or completely missing. This image looks similar to a barcode. Encoded in that barcode is the information to infer how many CO2 molecules the sunlight encountered on its way to the spacecraft.
I joined the project in early 2001 as the lead engineer for the spectrometer. In the eight years that have followed, we've gone from an idea to a fully built and tested system sitting on top of a rocket, ready for launch.
Along the way, a group of talented people has put in countless hours designing, building, and testing the system. When doing something for the first time, there are always issues that come up - some of which look insurmountable at the time. It's been a challenge, but the hard work and creativity of our team saw us through all of them.
Now we are waiting for the payoff - the first data from space. We've done everything we can to be ready. Now, launch awaits ...

text: The project I'm currently working on is becoming quite large, and is being compiled to a few different lib files. This is useful, so the application and tools only have to link to the libraries they need. We use DMD's interface generation option to create the header files, which is an awesome feature, but the problem is that it doesn't output interface files in the package hierarchy. For example, if there are two modules 'basepackage/package1/module1.d' and 'basepackage/package2/module2.d', the interfaces end up as 'headers/module1.di' and 'headers/module2.di'. Now, when we add the 'headers' directory to the include path, the compiler won't be able to find module1 when importing 'basepackage/package1/module1'. It works when I simply import 'module1', which surprises me since the interface retains the original module declaration. Anyway, DMD not outputting interfaces in the package hierarchy makes the feature pretty much useless for large projects. Is there a reason for this behavior, or was this simply never considered? I'm willing to try and add a new switch to the compiler so it creates the hierarchy, but I've never touched DMD's source so I'm not sure if I'm the right person for the job.

Many people are asking where to buy Nicocure these days because it's been a smashing success with many smokers. I can tell you the best place to get Nicocure with the best deals at the end of this article. First, I'm going to discuss why Nicocure seems to work better than many other quit smoking programs.
First off, many people say they don't experience withdrawal symptoms when using Nicocure to quit. They talk about this fact a lot on their website. Nicocure uses a combination of natural herbs to ease the withdrawal and mask nicotine in the human body.
I'm sure they'll never give away the exact combination of these herbs and they most definitely have a patent on that formula.
Also, Nicocure doesn't seem to take as long as some of the other programs. Some people have said they can quit smoking within 10 days successfully with the Nicocure pill. This is good because other programs keep the cigarettes in people's hands longer and that can result in a relapse. Many people claim there's no craving at all when they finish the program.
There is only one dose to take per day compared to other programs, which require you to take several doses a day. Taking one dose a day is more convenient and requires less oversight by the patient. This feature also helped Nicocure become very popular in the quit smoking market.
Where to buy Nicocure?
There's a few deals being promoted out there, but I haven't seen any compare tot their current website deal. Right now their promoting the product by giving you two free bottles of Nicocure pills with the purchase of one. In addition, they give you an e-book titled "How to Quit Smoking for Life" and a CD for Quit Smoking Hypnosis.
So if you're wondering where to buy Nicocure, I would just go straight to their website, which is listed below.

A woman robbed a bank because she did not want to tell her husband she had lost her job, a court heard.
Nicola Lehair, 28, was jailed for carrying out the raid and for attempting another one.
She had firstly taken out payday loans to convince husband Joel, 29, she was still working.
But when her debts mounted, she walked up to the counter of a Yorkshire Bank branch and handed a note to the cashier, saying: "Just give me the money. I do have a gun and will use it if necessary."
Lehair, who made off with £2,375, was arrested 15 days later, moments after attempting a raid at a branch of Santander.
A week after she was caught she was offered a job as a book-keeper, the court was told.
Mark McNeil, defending, said: "Had she managed to keep herself going she would have been able to pay off her debts."
He added: "She lost her job but she maintained the impression she was still working by taking out a payday loan .
"Her husband thought there was income coming in but the loan company was exerting pressure on her."
Mr McNeil said: "She felt so desperate financially. She didn't tell her husband... The money went towards paying off her debts.
"She is deeply remorseful. She knows she is going to lose her marriage and her liberty."
Lehair lost her job as an administrator in January.
On April 30, she put on a black cloak and robbed the bank in her hometown of Grantham, Lincs.
During the failed raid at a nearby Santander, Lehair again demanded cash and claimed she had a gun.
When the cashier hesitated, Lehair walked out empty-handed.
She changed her top and removed her cap and sunglasses but was nabbed 200 yards down the road by an alert police officer.
Jailing Lehair for two years at Lincoln crown court , Recorder Patrick Upward QC told her: "I bear in mind you are a woman of good character and you were under considerable pressure.
"No weapon was used or produced."
Lehair had admitted robbery and attempted robbery.
After sentencing, Det Insp Pete Grayson, of Lincs police, said: "In 20 years as an officer I have never dealt with a woman bank robber.
"It is rare to get someone with no previous convictions committing an offence as serious as this."

Without being too flat-cappist about this, Coronation Street will always be most memorable for its past characters and their exploits on cobbled streets.
The show has moved with the times, of course, with new new characters and high-tech innovations. The impending launch of a Nintendo DS Coronation Street Game (presumably not involving high explosive battles around the hot pots in the Rovers Return) has been accompanied by the promotion of a social network game called Corrie Nation on Facebook.
For millions of viewers, though, you need only mention the fictional names Ken Barlow, Bet Lynch and Curly Watts to get an instant nod of recognition.
All three characters will be stars of Coronation Street The Musical, which starts next March with the title Street Of Dreams.
Promoters have boasted of a "world premiere in Manchester," bringing to mind the utterly charming illusion that they presumably had to fight off Los Angeles, New York, Paris or Rome for the right to stage a song-and-dance show about Weatherfield.
Street Of Dreams is billed as a "major live musical event" and will be hosted by comedian Paul O'Grady, a long-term fan of the show.
Julie Goodyear, the brassy barmaid whose earrings were bigger than the real Olympic rings, is coming back as Bet Lynch and Kevin Kennedy returns for the stage show as the nerdy bin man and amateur astronomer Curly Watts (the definitive Manchester City fan of the 1980s).
Guest stars will take turns to play sultry Elsie Tanner, portrayed by the late Pat Phoenix and Street Of Dreams, a 90-minute show, will take the audience through "notable moments" in its 50-year history, through nearly 8,000 episodes of street life.
Some of it will be dark and dramatic - the tram crash, the Weatherfield serial killer episode (which is good news for actor Brian Capron as the show is bringing back from the dead arch villain Richard Hillman) and Jack Duckworth's spell dressed in drag.
But let's hope the show also celebrates the wonderful wit Coronation Street had in its finest moments. The humour of the show is something comedy giant Peter Kay celebrates both in routines and in his own spell on the cast as lisping pub worker Eric. It would be good to see the musical bring to life some of the more offbeat comedy story lines. How about these?
Reg Holdsworth and the exploding water bed:
Supermarket manager Reg Holdswoth, played brilliantly by Ken Morely, overcame his shame at being mistaken for a flasher and tried to seduce co-worker Maureen on a water bed in his tacky bachelor pad. Before things could get too hot, the bed burst and soaked them both.
The boxing match:
Butcher Fred Elliott's character John Savident was a fine comedy actor, I say a fine comedy actor, and his feud with rival butcher Eddie Maddox was settled by a boxing bout between their two sons that ended in a hilarious mass punch-up.
The kidnapped gnomes:
Mavis Riley, with her catchphrase "Ohh, I don't really know", married the equally drippy Derek and the show had a whole running gag in the mid-1990s around the plot of their garden gnomes being kidnapped and transported around the world.
So bring on the musical Corrie. It's bound to be a sell-out as there's no doubting the huge popular appeal of Coronation Street. I was at a Manchester United match when up on the scoreboard flashed "Ken stays with Deirdre" to tell fans the dénouement of a controversial storyline about a love triangle between Ken, Deidre and cocky Cockney Mike Baldwin (many fans cheered that result).
The music for the show, incidentally, will be provided by a 25-piece orchestra. Can there be a place for Dave Browning of Wilmslow? Never heard of him? You've heard him, though. He was just 24 when he played the trumpet solo on the theme tune that is still going strong since its first broadcast in 1964. Bet he wishes he'd been on a repeat fee rather than the one-off payment he received.

No singer—not Miley Cyrus, not Pitbull, not Robin Thicke—got the kind of ear-splitting, elated response that Mahone did.
All were hard at work, their gunners working like men possessed, and the crash of their constant discharge was ear-splitting.
An ear-splitting yell sounded from the direction of the encampment.
Through the little church an ear-splitting crash rang out that fairly rocked the walls!
Only when angry do I utter my fearful, ear-splitting, soul-shuddering growl.
Suddenly we heard a crash, an ear-splitting explosion from the fire line.
And hard at their heels came another of the ear-splitting crashes.
Up ran one of the dogs, capering around with sharp, ear-splitting barks, and tried to get his teeth into Bob's ankle.

The Airport Minority Advisory Council Educational and Scholarship Program, Inc. (AMACESP) is the sister organization of the Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC). AMAC is one of the largest airport/business trade associations that effectively participates in advocacy, outreach, education and other activities on behalf of its members. Its mission is to foster and promote equal opportunity for minorities, women and disadvantaged businesses to participate in aviation-related business, contracting and employment opportunities, while supporting the mission of airports. In 1997, the AMAC Board of Directors established the AMACESP, a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization, to offer charitable, literary and educational programs to benefit future aviation professionals and the general public.
AMACESP is governed by a 25-member volunteer Board of Directors and has two part- time employees. Each director is an aviation professional either employed in or doing business with the aviation industry.
AMACESP Mission
The mission of the Airport Minority Advisory Council Educational and Scholarship Program, Inc. (AMACESP) is to develop educational programs and information designed to substantially increase the nationwide pool of future aviation professionals, particularly minorities and women, and to contribute to the public's understanding of the aviation industry. AMACESP accomplishes its mission by offering scholarships; conducting educational forums, seminars, and research; and educating the general public on air transportation, airports, airport operations and facilities management.
AMACESP and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) annually sponsor one of the preeminent aviation industry educational programs in the country, known as the Annual Airport Business Diversity Conference. This forum brings together businesses, aviation professionals, government officials and individuals from around the country to discuss a variety of subjects ranging from how to do business at airports to public policy issues impacting the entire aviation industry.
Through its Scholarship Program, AMACESP emphasizes education and outreach to full-time college students interested in pursuing aviation careers. In conjunction with the Annual Conference, a silent auction and a golf tournament are held to raise money for the AMACESP Scholarship Fund. The generous contributions of airports, businesses, and individuals have enabled AMACESP to sponsor college students to participate in the Annual Airport Business Diversity Conference and to award over $200,000 in scholarships. These scholarship awards and educational programs provide unique opportunities for college students to network with aviation professionals from around the country and to learn about the aviation industry's important role in the economic growth of our communities. As a result, they have a better understanding of the broad range of careers and business opportunities available at airports, with airlines, in the federal government, and in the private sector all associated with this exciting industry.
Attracting supportive individuals, aviation entities, businesses, philanthropic organizations and others to join in our efforts will help AMACESP create and expand educational programs and continue to promote the development of our next generation of aviation leaders.

Snoozebox founder Robert Breare prepares to check out of hotels
The founder of Snoozebox is expected to follow his former finance director out of the door after the portable hotel group said that it needed to raise fresh finance.
Robert Breare, who stepped down as chief executive after a profit warning last month, is understood to have fallen out with David Morrison, the AIM-listed company's chairman.
The predicted exit of Mr Breare, who had intended to stay on as a director, follows that of Chris Upton, who was dismissed as finance director after the company surprised investors by announcing a £1.6 million revenue shortfall relating to its contract to house 3,500 security staff at a site in Hainault, Essex, during the Olympics and Paralympic Games.
Shares in Snoozebox, which had been trading at 68½p before…

The record producer has reportedly closed a deal to join the 13th season of the FOX reality show.
The third judge seat on "American Idol" may have been occupied. Various news outlets report that Dr. Luke has signed up to join Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez on the judging panel for the next season of the veteran reality series.
Dr. Luke is a Grammy Award-nominated record producer who is behind commercially successful records such as Pink's "Who Knew", Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" and Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl". The 39-year-old songwriter also produced Kelly Clarkson's 2004 hit single "Since U Been Gone".
The record producer, whose real name is Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald, was first mentioned as a candidate to fill the third spot in the judge line-up after negotiations with will.i.am were reportedly stalled due to money issue. The Black Eyed Peas member was then said choosing to return to "The Voice UK".
Meanwhile, former "Idol" judge Randy Jackson has been rumored to return to the singing competition series as a mentor, replacing Jimmy Iovine who may leave the show after three years serving as in-house mentor.
FOX and "Idol" have not released an official statement regarding Dr. Luke and Randy's reported inclusion in the 13th season of the show.

Killeen Daily Herald
In a small conference room tucked away in the Killeen Comfort Suites, Barbara Wright threaded a broken gold chain through her fingers. She scratched the chain onto a small testing stone and dropped an acid solution onto the shavings to test the quality.
Wright is a buyer with Ohio Valley Gold and Silver Refinery, which is buying gold, silver and collectables for the rest of the week at the Comfort Suites.
The chain, which was being sold by Harker Heights resident Robert McDonald, broke into three pieces after McDonald's 7-month-old tried to hang from it.
"With the price of gold as high as it is, we've been telling folks to bring their used gold in," said manager Keith Hammons. "That's anything from things broken in jewelry boxes to old coins."
The price of gold has more than doubled in the last five years; in 2005, gold was worth around $400 per ounce, while it now hovers around $1,100. That's largely because of the declining worth of the American dollar, which has pushed many residents to comb through their jewelry boxes to search for something to sell.
"We get people that really need the money," Hammons said. "They're just trying to make ends meet."
This is the second time that Ohio Valley Gold and Silver Refinery has come to Killeen this year. Last time, the refinery bought close to $280,000 in gold, silver and collectables from residents; this time, the company expects to eclipse $300,000.
"We're taking our refinery … directly to the road," said Matt Enright, spokesman for Ohio Valley. "It allows people to get more money for their items … because they don't have that middle man."
Typically, Enright said, gold sellers don't have a direct connection to a refinery. When Ohio Valley does weeklong stays, the seller can have direct contact with the buyer. And not all of what Ohio Valley buys goes to the refinery.
On Monday, guitars and World War II-era officer swords surrounded the gallery table. These items, including certain coins, are sold to collectors, who give Ohio Valley a commission.
"That way, the more we can give someone for their item – whether that's a guitar or a piece of currency – the more the company makes," Enright said. "It's a win-win for everybody."
The refinery has 35 traveling buyers in America and about six teams in Europe and Canada. McDonald and his crew will be at the Comfort Suites from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Friday.
"Last year (in Killeen) I wrote an $87,000 check to someone," McDonald said. "So you now you see why people should bring their gold in?"

Many thanks for all your suggestions . Have them outside for the weather to take some of the smell away before I start crunching them. Watch out slugs , here I come!
I've just tried mussels for the first time and now that we've got a big bowl of empty shells I wondered if anyone had ideas on what I can use them for in the garden. My only thought was to crush them and sprinkle round the plants that the slugs like, same as I do with egg shells. But I wondered if there were other uses.
As our borders are all waterlogged my cat is finding it hard to find nice soil. I my greenhouse has become a favourite this winter, so I'll have to do a soil swap it seems. unless I want tiddle flavoured tomatoes! But I am annoyed with her as I've bought 10 lovely new polyanthus and filled my trough with new compost in readiness for planting. But guess who's taken it over as a toilet? Yes, so I dare not plant them as she'll be watering them for me!
I've got 'Spot'. He has one light feather on his chest like a badge. Poor chap has a damaged beak and is unable to close it. He manages to pick up food by turning his head sideways. I feed him every day as I think he must struggle to survive otherwise. He cannot poke his beak into the soil to get worms as it won't close, so he'd just get a beakful of soil. Poor chap. Hope I can keep him well fed. he loves meal worms.
Slugs will eat one another if they are injured. I tried the scissor method a couple of years ago and was horrified to see a dead one being eaten by his mates later on.! So yes they are not usually there on the morning after!
I have a passionflower growing up through a tree which usually has it's foliage damaged in the frosts, so therefore stays a decent size. This year with all the warm winter weather it has gone mad! I have shots of it coming up all over the place, some even 6ft away from the main plant. It's even coming up between the slabs which form the path in my greenhouse. I don't want to damage the plant but wonder how I can keep it in check a bit.
I moved my choisya at the end of summer last year and it has settled down well in the new position. I've noticed lots of new growth at the end of almost bare stems (nearly 3ft long) and as they look straggly I wondered if I should cut them down to about a foot to get them to bush out a bit. It has just finished flowering, so I guess this is the best time to do it.
I understand what Mike says. A packet of seeds is just a drop in the ocean-no pun intended. It's practical help these poor people will need to get homes in order first and foremost. Yes I agree , I would be devastated to lose all my plants and have a ruined garden, but I would be tempted to wait and see what survives. My guess is that in some of these areas they have been used to mild flooding most winters so they probably tend to grow bog type plants that like their roots in the wet. I suppose it all depends on the length of time they are under water. 7 or 8 weeks so far and no sign of the relief of dry weather yet.
I'm all for sending plants when the time is right, but I think we are rather early making plans, as the drying out will take months, not weeks. Though it's a lovely idea, and is good to see us gardeners helping one another in their time of need.
Yes it's outside in a pot with good drainage. In the early years I used to put it in a cold greenhouse through the winter, but now that it's bigger I leave it out. It seemed to thrive last year outside even with the bad weather, and even had little flowers on for the first time. I really don't want to lose it as I've grown it from a 20p 4 inch cutting from a car boot.!
I have a Polish Spirit clematis and usually prune early March down to about 6 inches from the ground. This year due to the mild weather it has already started to shoot high up on the trellis. Is it a good time to prune it now or still too early? As there is so much growth it seems a shame to cut it all off. ( some shoots already 3 inches long).

Naomi Watts Just Had a Baby?
Is Naomi Watts trying to breed resentment among new moms struggling to drop their baby weight?
Watts, who had a second son, Samuel Kai, with boyfriend Liev Schreiber on December 13, attended a screening of the Nazi-era flick Defiance (in which Schreiber co-stars with Daniel Craig) at New York's Landmark Sunshine Theater Monday night.
That's just shy of a month after giving birth. And look at her.
Just two months ago, England-born, Australia-raised Naomi's humongous baby bump blocked out the sun. And now it would be possible to believe that her pregnancy was a hoax, if there weren't direct photographic evidence to the contrary.
Against all odds, the new mom will be able to attend the premiere for her next picture, The International, and look every bit as trim and pretty as her costar, Clive Owen.
Watts' post-birth slim-down is even more remarkable considering that the King Kong actress is 40 years old.
Naomi simply has to share her weight-loss secret with the world. Unless it somehow involves sticking her fingers in her mouth.

Unknown artist, Malaysian, Kelantan, probably
Sarong, probably 19th century
Silk, metallic-wrapped yarns; twill weave, weft ikat, supplementary weft patterning
Length: 90.2 cm (35 1/2 inches) (top to bottom)
Bequest of Miss Lucy T. Aldrich 55.497.1
This sarong, a rare survival of Kelantan production, is patterned with incredible precision by the weft-ikat process. In ikat, the Indonesian word for tying, warp or weft threads (or both) are strategically tied and bundled and then resist dyed prior to weaving. This piece is further embellished in the center with supplementary metallic yarns woven into complex triangular motifs. The lattice arrangement of eight-petalled rosettes reflects the widespread influence of patolu cloths imported from northwest India, cherished as luxury and ritual clothing in the Malay courts. This sarong was undoubtedly made for and worn by local nobility. The use of a twill weave in its ikat section suggests that the makers were either Khmer or had learned the technique from Khmer artisans. In centuries past, the Malay Peninsula served as an important crossroad of trade between India and the powerful kingdoms of Cambodia and Vietnam.

By Kevin McCoy, USA TODAY
The trustee liquidating Bernard Madoff's business assets will ask a court to decide whether repayments to victims of the imprisoned Ponzi scheme architect should be based on the phantom profits listed on their investment account statements.
In a federal court bankruptcy filing in New York on Thursday, Irving Picard asked for a Feb. 2 hearing to resolve what has emerged as a financial flashpoint for many of the victims of Madoff's scam.
LEGAL DOCUMENT: Picard's hearing motion
Picard so far has recovered more than $1 billion in assets related to Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, the Manhattan firm at the center of a decades-long scam that victimized charities, celebrities, financial funds and average investors worldwide.
That amount reflects just a fraction of the $65 billion listed in the records of Madoff's investment business — as well as the roughly $13 billion investigators have estimated as the actual losses from the scam. Picard has received thousands of investor claims seeking recovery.
In cases when full recovery is impossible, investors of failed brokerages are legally entitled to pro rata shares of the amount a court-appointed receiver manages to collect. Picard has been determining those shares based on the amount each Madoff investor deposited, minus any amounts the client withdrew.
Picard has argued this approach would avoid creating "net winners" — victims who received more than they actually deposited with Madoff — leaving less for recovery for fellow investors.
But two lawsuits filed on behalf of Madoff investors argue that Picard should instead decide repayment shares based on the higher totals listed on victims' accounts, even though those accounts reflect purported investment gains on stock trades that were never made.
Alternatively, the lawsuits contend that the shares should reflect the interest the investments should have earned over the years and other financial factors. Numerous Madoff victims argue that this approach would be fairer for those who based years of personal financial decisions on the assumption that their investments were growing,
According to Thursday's court motion, Picard plans to identify the contested claims by Oct. 16. He is simultaneously continuing a worldwide search for Madoff assets that could increase the amount eventually returned to burned investment victims.
Madoff, meanwhile, is serving a 150-year sentence in a North Carolina federal prison for the massive scam that used money from new investors to pay previous ones, the operating method of a basic Ponzi scheme.

The painted rocks craze is thriving in Henrico, as a walk around the grounds of local libraries and parks will demonstrate. This rock was spotted near Libbie Mill Library, and there's a slideshow of many more uniquely-painted stones on the RVA Rocks Facebook page (https://facebook.com/groups/RVARocks/).
Painting and hiding rocks is a family activity appropriate for all ages, and parents especially like the way it fosters creativity and gets kids outdoors. > Read more.

In the Mythbuntu Control Centre, under repositories, I hit the refresh button(for selecting the version of MythTV to run) and I still see just 0.25 (which I currently am on) and 0.26.
Now when I select 0.26 I get the warning text about being a development version and having to type in the password (YouMustBe...).
I assumed now that 0.26 is formally released that it would not have development status (from the Control Centre's point of view). In fact I expected to see 0.25, 0.26 and devel 0.27.
Is it safe to choose 0.26 despite the (furfy) warning it's development?

Accommodation is the ability of the lens of the
eye to change shape, allowing for a change in focus from far to near. The lens,
which is flexible, becomes more round to bring near objects into focus and
flattens to bring distant objects into focus.
With age, the lens of the eye loses some of its flexibility,
reducing the ability to accommodate. This usually starts to affect your near vision around age 40 and is
called presbyopia.

COLUMBUS -- The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities recently announced a $500,000 award from the Governor's Health Transformation Innovation Fund, which will be used to support an information technology infrastructure project to improve person-centered planning and shared services goals among county boards of developmental disabilities. Specifically, the project scope is to build a new information system allowing an 18-county collaborative to share administrative activities, standardize person-centered practices, and more efficiently support people in the developmental disabilities system.
The 18 counties in the project are: Belmont, Carroll, Coshocton, Fairfield, Guernsey, Harrison, Hocking, Holmes, Jefferson, Knox, Licking, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, Perry, Tuscarawas and Washington.
"We're working to provide a better technology platform as an important tool to ensure timely and relevant information is accessible for DODD, county boards, staff, and individuals. The project is driven by a collaborative of counties that are committed to creating and implementing simpler, more person-centered practices that do away with duplicative or burdensome processes," said DODD Director John Martin.
The IT project is part of the Region V County Collaborative, an 18-county collaborative that has been working over the past couple years to identify opportunities for building more efficient person-centered practices that standardize processes across county borders without counties losing their local identities. Some of the counties' goals are to change the way they interact with people and their families and create processes that reduce paperwork and the time frame for determining eligibility, so they can free up more time to engage with people supported by the system. DODD and the collaborating counties have identified that a shared IT system where support coordination is digitally documented is a critical component of successfully standardizing practices while ensuring better customer service by making information more accessible and current.
"This is an idea that supports the best of sharing services among local governments," said Randy Cole, Policy advisor for the Office of Budget and Management. "These county boards of DD have it right. They are creating a shared IT system and sharing both leadership and staff resources to create opportunities where they reduce administrative processes so they can spend their time on the work they are meant to do."
The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities is responsible for overseeing a statewide system of supports and services for people with developmental disabilities. Its mission is continuous improvement of the quality of life for Ohio's citizens with developmental disabilities and their families.

SSVFD adopts 'Baby Moses' policy
By FAITH HUFFMAN | News-Telegram News Editor
Aug 15, 2007 - Sulphur Springs Fire Department as of this month is officially a designated "child-placing agency" or emergency infant care provider as evidenced by the yellow "child secure site" signs posted outside the station.
What does that mean? Not that they are licensed day care providers nor do they find foster homes for children as the designation would suggest, but that they have met the terms required in House Bill 706, which became effective Sept. 1, 2001.
In general legislation, often called the "Baby Moses Law," allows parents can leave their unwanted baby at a designated emergency infant care provider or child-placing agency (CPA) uch as SSFD, provided the child is 60 days old or younger. The purpose for the law "is to encourage parents who abandon their children to do so with a CPA rather than at a dangerous location. The law also protects parents from criminal prosecution when they deliver an unharmed child to a CPA," according to Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Parents should note, however, that by delivering the child to the CPA, they are expressing their intent not to return for the child.
When leaving a child, the parents should make sure that staff at the CPA are present at the time. Parents will not be identified by name, but will have the option of filling out a form with information regarding family medical history, which will go into the child's file for future reference for health purposes. The form is voluntary, and not required however.
Both of SSFD's stations are registered through Texas Department of Family and Protective Services as a CPA. In order to earn the designation, the agency "agrees to act as a designated emergency infant care provider" and has "on staff a person who is licensed as a registered nurse under Chapter 301, Occupations Code, or who provides emergency medical services under Chapter 773, Health and Safety Code, and who will examine and provide emergency medical services to a child taken into possession by the agency."
Because all of SSFD's firefighters are required to have attained EMT certification, they meet the medical standards. If a baby age 2-months or younger is left at their station, they will offer the voluntary card. They will contact Emergency Medical Services personnel and Child Protective Services personnel to notify them about the child, and take care of the baby until EMS personnel arrive to transport the child to the hospital for care and to be checked out. The child will then be released into the hospital's care, then to CPS to begin the process of finding the child a foster or permanent home.
For more information about the Baby Moses Law or CPA's go to the Department of Family and Protective service web site: www.dfps.stat.tx.us

About you: Thoughtful (as in both considerate and filled with thoughts.) Open, adventurous, self-assured. Comfortable with yourself and your life and interested in sharing both. You treasure the challenges and rewards of a good relationship. You have something to say - and the ability to say it. In short, brains, heart, sense of humor, integrity.
I've had different careers in different cities and countries, but some time ago returned home to NYC. There's nothing like it. My work is important to me. Balancing work and the rest of my life is even more important.
Good friends, good times, good conversations - all contribute to a pretty rewarding life. I enjoy my own company, but am ready to share my life and my space with someone else. I am a single mom to a wonderful boy and I enjoy (almost) every thrilling, exhausting moment. Motherhood has been my happiest adventure and my greatest achievement. Maintaining close friendships is one of my skills (and passions), but I have yet to find that special someone with whom to share my life.
I believe that trust and laughter are key to any relationship. And, no matter how busy we are, or how many responsibilities we have, there is always room for a new adventure. Want to share mine?
Movies: The Wizard of Oz (really!); Casablanca; Gone with the Wind; others more recent
Music: Too much to name - classical, jazz, rock, folk, world music, standards, soul
Food: Wide ethnic range (Thai, Korean, Japanese, Indian, Italian, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern). Won't - under any circumstances - eat canned peaches. Otherwise, I'm easy.
2. My circle of friends and family, i.e. my village
3. Books, books and more books
4. Music
5. Laughter (especially with #1 and #2)
6. Love
7. Coffee
OK, so I went for 7.

Alison Michelle Ernst, Hillary Clinton shoe thrower: Misinfo in ties to James Holmes case
Last week, Alison Michelle Ernst hurled a shoe at Hillary Clinton while the latter spoke at an event in Las Vegas. Afterward, the press found a tie between Ernst and the case against Aurora theater shooter James Holmes, and it's legit. However, major outlets such as the Associated Press are reporting that Ernst filed bizarre motions in the matter, with one claiming that Holmes had invaded her brain. That's wrong, and we bet the misinformation thrills the real man behind the document: Jonathan Lee Riches. Here's the twisted story.
First, here's a look at the shoe-tossing, as seen in CNN coverage.
Afterward, reporters who've mastered the art of Google discovered that a woman identified as "Allison Michelle Ernst" -- note the different spelling of the first name -- had made a scene at an August 9, 2012 hearing in the theater shooting case. She stood up in the middle of a hearing to declare that she had information vital to the investigation and was promptly escorted out of the room.
Here's a CBS4 report about the court session; the section about Ernst comes just past the two-minute mark.

All good and well at that point -- but the New York Daily News took things a step further, reporting that Ernst had filed a lawsuit against Holmes that stated, among other things, that "james enters my head like dennis quaid in innerspace and he zooms to my heart and plays with it and forces me to care for him. James sent me naked photos of himself in a joker outfit which offends me."
This assertion has circulated far and wide thanks to distribution by the Associated Press, with the info even popping up on a 7News story that's among the most viewed on the station's website at this writing.
Unlike many other outlets, however, the 7News piece makes allusions to suits being filed in the names of others. That's the case with multiple Ernst documents, including one on the Allison Michelle Ernst blogspot that states the following:
Comes Now, Allison Michelle Ernst , moves this honorable court to intevene in the the James Eagan Holmes case for access to all judicial records and to intervene to produce newly discovered withheld evidence. Further , movant intervenes to appeal this courts ruling denying the defendants constitutional right to have they're own experts present as the state examines scientific evidence, which this denial is a violation of confrontation clause James Holmes is a innocent man , James holmes must be released to me asap, this is a huge conspiracy. I am the allison ernst who came to court bald with a red dress. This court and the media must go to " james holmes is innocent " facebook page to look and read about all the evidence which will show James is truly innocent and that the guilty party is philip anschutz who owns half of regal cinemas and Anschutz mind controlled James to go to the theater to knock out Anschutz's competitor. Anschutz is involved with new world order and a group of cabal evil worldwide crooks who want control of the world through false flag attacks akin to george orwell 1984 , where james holmes is now the new emmanuel, and Anschutz's fingerprints are all over this tragic event and he must be investigated. Anschutz also killed michael Jackson. I fear for my life, i can be found in " james holmes is innocent ".
First clue that Ernst didn't file these documents: It's unlikely she would misspell her own first name. Second clue: Both were posted by Jonathan Lee Riches. Let us introduce you.
Continue for more about Alison Michelle Ernst and Jonathan Lee Riches, including photos and documents. On August 31, 2012, as we've reported, Riches, who's from Pennsylvania, was mentioned in 9News' coverage of the theater shooting, with the station noting that the mail of accused killer James Holmes was being forwarded to him -- at least until the U.S. Postal Service determined that the request was fraudulent. The station also stated that "in 2009, Riches reportedly sued the Guinness Book of World Records when he learned they planned to name him the world's most litigious man."
Here's Riches's Facebook response to the station:
After the 18th Judicial District Court, which is handling the Holmes prosecution, released the aforementioned document, as well as Judge William Sylvester's order suggesting that the person behind it undergo a mental-health evaluation, a Reddit user cited the similarities between that document and one posted to a blogspot on August 19 under the name Yeom Pyo Lee.
Who's Yeom Pyo Lee? A register of actions document made public by Judge Sylvester mentioned a filing by a "YPL" -- initials that referenced Lee, who was questioned after the shooting but quickly cleared of involvement. (A University of Colorado student, Lee is said to have known Holmes.) Here's the text:
Comes Now, the intervenor Yeom Pyo Lee with newly discovered withheld evidence in this case and facing imminent danger andf bodily harm moves this court to intervene in this case to tell my side of the story.I am James Holmes friend from school. I demand James Holmes be free, i call court house too, you free James Holmes asap. James Holmes innocent, Police Chief Dan Oates crooked cop. I was at PF Changs China Bistro in Aurora Dan Oates beat me in parking lot wit my cell phone 7/24/2012. took phone and my lo mein. Oates use my phone to call police to threaten itself .Oates told me he illuminati . I scared now, I hide now at South Korean embassy in D.C. .Aurora police corrupt. I am proud member of Facebook group "James Holmes is innocent" .You must come see group. Dan Oates & police have warrant for me arrest.Plant my finger prints on gun at century 16. Oates told me he framed James Holmes for new world order. Must investigate .I want witness protection . I go on nbc today show tell my side of story next week. Dan Oates sleep wit District Attorney Carol Chambers at Aurora Holiday Inn hotel, I have video . i go show on youtube . free james holmes
The person listed as posting the document: Jonathan Lee Riches.
Another register of actions mentioned the Ernst documents, referred to by the initials "A.M.E." -- and in the blogspot post, the address listed for her was the same as the one for Riches, too.
The shtick didn't stop there. Riches's Facebook page described him at the time as a "rogue detective" at the Aurora Police Department who studied at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Among the videos on it in the late summer of 2012 was a clip supposedly showing James Holmes masquerading as Ernst. Here's a screen capture:
Other Holmes-related ephemera on the page included an application for the Aurora City Council, a letter to a local attorney asking him to take Holmes's case and a petition to formally change Riches's name to "James Eagan Holmes."
Given all this material, the idea that Ernst herself had filed the motions in the Holmes case appeared to have been thoroughly debunked. But as the recent reports suggest, misinformation is mighty hard to kill in the Internet age.
Continue to read Riches's application for Aurora City Council, his request to change his name to James Eagan Holmes, his letter to a local attorney and a register of actions document from 2012. Also included: a larger look at Ernst's mug shot and a photo of Jonathan Lee Riches. Jonathan Lee Riches's application for Aurora City Council:
