IIS problems
Can anyone shed any light on this or help?
I am Systems Manager at a small primary school – am using an old Windows 2003 server with IIS 6 to run a streaming media server, a wiki server (MediaWiki – also uses MySQL and PHP) and now hopefully WordPress. The PHP and SQL database are set up as well as I know how (I am a rank beginner) WordPress 2.3 installs but it runs so badly as to be unusable.
Pages take 20 seconds or so to load, the themes only 'skin' the index.php page that appears before the user logs in (including the 'admin' user) otherwise the default theme persists, if you try to enable the caching plugins, the Options page for the plug-in is blank. I have completely removed the database, uninstalled and re-installed several times, each time with the same result. I am assuming there is a problem with filepaths somewhere but I don't know where to start!
As the other websites are already running under IIS, WordPress is in its own folder not wwwroot. I would like to get this to run smoothly a) without destroying the other sites on the IIS server and b) without having to resort to a hosted install but to keep a safe blogging environment for the kids to make errors that are kept within the school intranet.
TIA for any assistance!

Mangaluru: Manoj Kumar (33), owner of Yashraj Bar at the Avery junction on Falnir Road, its manager Sundar (49) and supervisor Ashok (36) were arrested by the Bunder police for obstructing the police while on duty and allegedly assaulting them.
The bar was kept open for business beyond the approved hours. Bunder assistant sub inspector Nagesh and his men went there and asked them to down the shutters for violating the rules.
The three men reacted violently by abusing the officer and his team. They also tried to assault them.
A case of verbal and physical violence and obstruction to duty has been filed against the trio. They were arrested and produced before the court. They have been sent to judicial custody.

Save Our Schools?
To the editor,
A writer to the News and a loosely knit group of citizens oddly named SOS, "Save Our Schools" continues an attack on the credibility of Superintendent Mike Wells. Not surprising.
This is the second of five tactics commonly used by opponents of bond referendums. The purpose is to divert attention from the facts — meaning the condition of our schools and plans for the future.
A bond referendum is not even on the table. This bunch wants to kill any such initiative before it is even proposed by the School Board.
The first tactic was to discredit the process. To the contrary, the facts show more citizens participated in much needed strategic planning than has been done in many years.
A few years ago when our district found itself on lists of sub-par performing schools three well publicized meetings were held for public comment. Despite the critical nature of the problem — attendance was horrid! I was one of only six non-school personnel to show-up at the first and second meeting. I skipped the third as it was evident folks were little interested in bad news about academic performance.
This should tell us Wells is not going too fast....but that we have not been paying attention.
Tactic two is getting silly. In politics we call it "character assassination." Dr. Wells is highly qualified, fully credentialed, vetted by a top-notch national search firm and he underwent intense scrutiny by all seven members of our very able school board.
Did Wells take a lead in strategic planning? I should hope so! It is his job to lead us in planning for the future and the board directed him to do exactly that.
Tactics three and four are yet to come. Three would be to drag a referendum date out as long as possible so it dies a slow death.
Four is the age old "divide and conquer" strategy. This pits the union and staff against management, Salem folks against Van Allen folks and performing arts advocates against sports enthusiasts in hopes of whittling the thing down to nothing.
Tactic five is ongoing. Ignore, distort or deal in half-truths about the facts.
Those citizens who attended one of the five in-depth community discussions led by Dr. Wells and Finance Director Ed Chabal are in pretty good position to know the facts. Those who have not are vulnerable to tactics one through five.
Perhaps, it is time we question the motives of SOS. It certainly can't be economic development or academic achievement. SOS should know communities all across Iowa and the nation are adopting many of the proposed initiatives to improve the quality of education.
What is SOS up to? Good question. "Sell-out Our Schools" might be a better name.

In my other life {pre- kids and husband}, I used to go to the Del Mar Farmer's Market almost every weekend.
It was easy.
I walked out the front door of my {tiny} white washed brick cottage, headed to the street, turned left, went 1/8 of a mile down the hill, and there I was.
Right in the midst of a bounty of seasonal and local produce, vibrantly colored fresh flowers, and {in my gluten-eating days} the tastiest Gyros I can recall ever eating.
But then life got in the way.
Marriage…a baby…a move…another baby…two more moves…a house remodel…weekend sports…work…life!
I'm sad to say that in the almost 13 years since I moved away from my tiny cottage, I've been to the Del Mar Farmer's market probably less than 10 times, and to any farmer's market, less than 15…
REALLY sad, right?
Needless to say, I was super excited when my friend Vinita texted me Sunday morning to see if I wanted to go to the La Jolla Farmer's Market with her and another friend, Kim.
I jumped on the opportunity {much more fun then staying home and taking down Christmas ornaments!}, and off we went on a gorgeous, sunny winter's day.
Here's what I scored…
- Gorgeous bunch of flowers
- Head of Nagoya Kale {A new kale find for me!}
- Bunch of Bok Choy
- Container of Olive Garlic Spread
- Container of Sugar Snap Peas
- Box of gluten-free orange almond biscotti from Chef Betsey G.-Yum! {If you can't make it to a Farmer's Market in San Diego, you can buy the biscotti and other gluten-free yummies here.}
Nagoya Kale
- Varieties of seasoned almonds: Cinnamon sugar, honey orange, and chili lemon
- Containers of Baba Foods salads and condiments {Triple Layer Dip w/ feta, pesto, & sundried tomatoes; Feta Cheese; Roasted Pepper and Fresh Mozzarella Salad; and Green Olive Tapenade}
- Of the chubbiest, cutest Carrots ever!
- Rainbow microgreens
Photo linked to Sweet Shot Tuesday
I've got a few idea up my sleeve for what to do with my finds, but I'd love some ideas from you too!
For lunch today, I made this yummy salad…
Mediterranean Spinach Salad
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/3 cup Baba Foods three layer dip {or make your own with 1 part pesto, 1 part feta cheese, and 1 part sun dried tomatoes}
- 1/3 cup Baba Foods marinated red pepper and fresh mozzarella salad {or make your own with 2 parts marinated red bell peppers and 1 part fresh mozzarella balls}
- Olive Oil and Golden Balsamic Vinegar to taste
Combine all ingredients in a salad bowl. Toss. Enjoy!
And, one of my favorite things to make with micro greens is this…
The chili lemon almonds are all gone thanks to my husband Ian and my Goddaughter….Thanks a lot you guys! {note sarcasm here}, and the cinnamon and orange honey almonds will be gone soon. Let's just say they are healthy, but a wee bit on the addictive side!
The sugar snap peas will be eaten as snacks by myself and the kids, and the chubby little carrots were shredded and topped with some of the crumbled feta cheese. The combo of sweet carrots and tangy, salty feta is seriously yum. Big Tex even ate two heaping servings!
And, I just did a Google search only to find out that Nagoya Kale is purely ornamental {unless anyone can tell me otherwise}, so I guess I'll just be enjoying looking at it…
So, what I really need recipe inspiration for is the Bok Choy. I've eaten it before, but have never prepared it myself {another sad thing I know} so I'd LOVE your Boy Choy recipe ideas.
And, I hope you will be inspired to head to your local farmer's market and let me know what you find!
Here's a great guide to finding your local farmer's market: Local Harvest
Do you have any favorite Bok Choy recipes or links to share? When was the last time your were at the Farmer's Market? Have you seen Nagoya kale before? What about these chubby carrots???
I would LOVE to hear from you! Please click here to leave a comment or ask a question. And, if you enjoyed the post, please share it below. Oh, and to make sure you don't miss any Spicy food, fun, and adventure, please submit your e-mail address below to be notified on my new posts!

text: Hey Guys, Been away from the site for a while as the A4 took a back seat. Got into building motorbikes ( guess the IoM finally got into my blood! ) and im still in the process of building my latest classic race bike but the love for my audi has returned. Car is a 1998 A4 Avant in paradise green with cream leather. Used to be fitted with eBay coilovers (ouch!) and 19" RS reps. Have now had a little play and fitted it with a Koni STRT kit which is SO much more comfortable and also a set of white 17"x8" wheels from a merc. In my opinion she is sitting so much nicer than she as before and also is so much better to drive. Have a few more plans for the old girl to tidy her up a bit so will no doubt be asking questions at some point. Anyways, heres a few pics Before: Now: Oh and if anyone is interested, my bikes Honda Shadow 125 ( yep its learner legal! ) Kawasaki KE100 ( do a google if you dont know what these look like originally!) and my current project 1979 MZ TS250 Cafe Racer/Classic Track Day Before Currently, still lots to do!

What is the payoff for a good student union?
Well, for one thing, it makes a university start to feel like there is a there, there (my apologies to Gertrude Stein).
A good one makes kids (anyone a day younger than myself still qualifies) want to attend, it becomes a place to gather in clumps of curious minds and bright futures.
There, in that academic milieu, their lives will blossom.
Back in my day, the union I sat in, dreary as it was, was known for french fries slathered with brown gravy, bad coffee and cards (OK, chess for a select few, brainier than me). Of course, that was more than 40 years ago at a large Midwestern land grant university whose football helmet logo "N" was believed to stand for "knowledge."
Times have changed, though, and so have universities.
This week, I wandered the grounds and hallways of the new University Student Union at Cal State San Marcos. The $43.6 million project, which quietly opened Jan. 22 and was funded by student fees, is a fantastic spot to drop your backpack, kick off your shoes and ask, if you were old-school, "a fourth for bridge, anyone?"
The 90,000-square-foot building close to the center of the campus is just the latest in the building spree at the 25-year-old university. The school serves roughly 10,000 full-time equivalent students and — you ain't seen nothing yet, folks, as the plan is to matriculate 25,000 students by 2015.
One of my students — an editor for the Cougar Chronicle, for which I am the faculty adviser — told me that seeing the four-story building open made her realize CSUSM's potential as a "big school."
Another said, "Wow, I didn't realize we had this many people going here."
In the same vein, an administrator told me that "in the last two weeks the overall 'vibe' of the campus has changed from 'commuter campus' to a place students want to stay and enjoy campus life!"
I think that's true.
Who wouldn't want to lounge between classes in front of one of two big gas fireplaces or on the open-air patios between the buildings or in the game room, featuring foosball and billiards?
There's a 9,000-square-foot ballroom and an outdoor amphitheater tucked between the wings of the building, each waiting for the performers or speakers to begin.
On Tuesday, student organizations had a fair on the sidewalks in front of the building — I would have used the word "quad" but that's old-school and not so useful in this case, as it's more an avenue than square.
The scholastic and political groups and religious clubs, honor societies, associations of all stripes had booths and tables out. Some handed out water bottles and brochures; others made pitches and plenty of noise, er music.
Students milling about and through the area made a lively scene during the "U" hour, when no classes are scheduled to allow just this sort of gathering.
Thursday, the clubs were gone, but the tables and eating areas at the union were full.
There are tours, I am certain, of the facilities, but I meandered by myself looking at the stunning steel, glass and stone architecture and watching the throngs of students, faculty and others queuing up at one of the several eateries: a sub shop, Mexican, American grill and Chinese (there's also a coffee shop, smoothie bar and a convenience store on the other wing of the building).
These students, the Cougars of Cal State San Marcos, with all their hopes and dreams, are our future.
It was just like back in the day, too.
Then, the ballroom of my old student union sometimes featured the oldies band Rick and the Rockets (I played rhythm guitar and electric bass on such tunes as "Teen Angel" and "Chantilly Lace").
The lead guitarist is a law professor now. Rick — he got the name because he had the Conoco shirt with "Rick" embroidered on it — is a homebuilder. The drummer is a filmmaker. My brother, whom we called "Sticks," is a business consultant and Stanford grad. And "The Kid," who could barely beat on a tambourine, practices public interest law in Boston, last I knew.
I'm an old journalist and teacher, too.
Something came of all of our dreams.
So feed the kids at Cal State San Marcos. They will make something of themselves, too.

Hence something like >,\= Done properly I could see it making the lambda vs. monad alternation more natural. Another suggestion is that the lambda highlighted version (logo1.png) seems a bit top-heavy for the lambda. Moving the centerline up a bit in order to widen the base of the lambda should help that, as well as reducing the militaristic aspect. Of all the versions I've seen, I'd really like some incarnation of this idea to be the new logo. The >\=Haskell one works really well for the named-logo effect, and the simplicity of the five strokes really lets the logo stand on its own as well. It's been a long time since I've done graphic design, so all my tools have rusted. But I could see if some old friends would be interested in taking a whack at it. -- Live well, ~wren

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]On this rainy and dreary day in New York City this afternoon, Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington were at South Street Seaport for a block party [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] One of the MCs at the event asked Stack Jack in front of the crowd whether he thought the Warriors were going to make the playoffs. Jackson paused then smiled before responding, Um I dont think Ill be a Warrior next year. Im looking to leave.
Harrington, who was standing beside Jackson, was gleaming with joy at this statement. As you all know, the two were teammates with each other for the Warriors and Harrington left on bad terms with the team - particularly Don Nelson. I asked Harrington if Jacksons statement shocked him. He laughed then responded, No I wasnt surprised. We talk all the time so I knew already. Honestly sometimes you need a change and I hope this change is to come out to New York - that would be nice.
After they posed for pictures with fans, I was able to ask Jackson more about his bold statement.
Dime: You made a big declaration earlier today by saying you wanted out of Golden State. When did you decide this?
Stephen Jackson: Its not about a decision I made. Its just things are in the air right now. I really cant get too much into it right now, but Im just looking to go somewhere where I can go and win a championship.
Dime: Are the Warriors aware of this?
SJ: Yeah they all know.
Dime: Is there anywhere specifically you want to go?
SJ: Either Cleveland, anywhere in Texas or out here with Al in New York.
Dime: So what have you been up to this offseason?
SJ: I have a foundation. I opened a school, The Stephen Jackson academy in my hometown so thats the big thing Ive been doing this summer. I had my second annual foundation banquet. So its been a great summer for me, I got married this summer, so God has been good to me.
Dime: You look a lot bigger and stronger. Whos been training you?
SJ: Well, basically Ive been a lot with Monta Ellis a lot. I just play all year round, thats the biggest thing with me. I really dont do too much. One-on-one, working out with guys and running up hills, stuff like that I just play basketball. You know and it keeps me in shape. I love the game so I respect it.
Dime: Speaking of Monta, do you [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]?
SJ: I think so, because Currys more of an off guard and Monta is more of a point guard. But the way Don Nelson coaches and that style of play - anybody can fit in. Especially a shooter like Stephen Curry. So hell be fine.
Dime: Did you like being in Nellies system?
SJ: I loved it. It gave me a chance to show everything I could do on the court. It was great for me, but at this point, Im 31 years old. I have four or five years left, I want to be in a situation where I can continually be in the playoffs and get another ring. So thats where my mind is at now.
His contract runs till 2012-2013, but maybe the trade could include Currry and/or Jeffries? He's a very good player, and Walsh knows him from his days in Indiana. If we were able to get rid of Curry AND Jeffries, then I would pull the trigger. Otherwise it doesn't seem worth it to sacrifice capspace.

Came across this little ditty and wanted to share:
Money-makers and their schemes, Ages of deceit and dirty themes, Granite columns built just right, White and solid hiding fright, Enriching themselves behind closed doors, Printing paper to make us poor.
Actually, I composed this poem as in introduction to a book I'm doing on the Federal Reserve, entitlted, Snaking Around, The Ruin-NATION of the United States by the Federal Reserve. The book is still in the process of being re-organized and written. It seems, the more I delve into the workings of the FED and our money system, the more I find and the angrier I get. If the American people would just wake up to what is front of their eyes and start demanding change, not only in our money system, but in our politics, we will save this great country from the clutches of evil and the powerful few.
President Andrew Jackson in the early 1830′s knew of the evils of central banking and went head to head with Nicholas Biddle, the head banker of the 2nd Bank of the United States. Lucky for the people, Jackson defeated the bank's attempts to renewel its charter. This battle between private bankers controlling our money supply and the people's right to control their money has been a cauldron burning since the birth of this nation. Thomas Jefferson riled against the bankers. In only recent times have the people started to wake up to the control, deceit and corruption coming from our politicians and their collusion with the private bankers and corporations. President Jackson, I wish you were here today . . . we need your help!!!!
"… you are a den of vipers and theives. I intend to rout you out, and by the grace of the Enternal God, will rout you out." -Andrew Jackson, President of the U.S. , 1834
The above represents what we are facing today. The FED is just a small head of the Beast that is taking over this nation and the world. If you understand their agenda, you will realize why they are breaking us down financially. Once they have total control over our money system, they have the power to do anything to us!!

Biography Updated on 5 April 2013

Yeah, but Alan Watts was a drunk, which makes it easier to be amused by word games.
Alan Watts described himself as a 'philosophical entertainer.'
The role of whatever substance dependency or addiction he might have had may or may not have figured into the fun of playing with words.
I don't know about any of that.
He was not a zen teacher, though there are many zen teachers who are reported to have been 'drunks.'
I think maybe by word games you mean people saying things that are nonesense?
So I am still waiting to hear these so-called word games? And where have you heard people going on and on about how wonderful Mu is? Koan study is very rare (MAYBE a dozen places in the USA offer it). I use to attend ZCLA where many people were doing koan study and I didn't hear anyone say anything like that. Have you been reading gateless gate over and over :wink: ?

I was talking mostly about what i read. Im too remote to hear much "in person". thats why im here! For reference id say just the way i read some of Aitken Roshi's writings and a few persons postings on some forums.. ZFI maybe??. As it stands I read a koan and read commentary on it after then think about it. thats all i can do right now and im sure im missing the point (as you already said about cultural differences and my lack of previous exposure to much of it) Oh and I usually dont read many books (damn internet) but since starting practice i read a lot more. That said I havent read enough books to warrant re-reading any of em! So you did koan practice yes? I'd really like to hear more of it if you wouldnt mind sharing. either here or pm, of course if you dont mind ops:

So, I did make it to an Iyengar style yoga class at this studio yesterday. Apparently, I caught the last class of a series, and all we did were a few basic poses, some with a chair (new to me), and then spent the last 30 minutes doing deep breathing exercises. This was probably just what my body needed, but the temperature outside dropped while we were in class, and the studio was freezing. By the end I was so cold that all I could concentrate on were the chill bumps forming on my legs. I might give the studio another try, but I was definitely missing my 100 degree room over at Hot Yoga Nashville!
During last week's No Oat Challenge, I bonded with the container of Bob's Red Mill Creamy Buckwheat Cereal that has been sitting in the cupboard for a while.
Yesterday's breakfast was 1/2 cup buckwheat cereal cooked with 1 cup water and then blended with 3/4 cup water & 1 scoop of Sun Warrior vanilla rice protein. Toppings were cashew cream and crunchy almond butter.
This morning while my coffee brewed, I cooked 1/2 cup buckwheat cereal with 1 cup water and then poured it into a bowl with 2 TBSP chia seeds, giving it a good stir before leaving for yoga. After a quick shower when I arrived home, I placed my buckwheat/chia mixture in the Vita-Mix with 1 cup water and 1 scoop of Sun Warrior. I then topped it off with some almond butter and enjoyed every last creamy bite!
Over the weekend, I experimented with the raw buckwheat groats Abbie sent me:
After soaking 1/2 cup buckwheat groats in 1 cup of water for about 8 hours, I dumped everything into the Vita-Mix with 1 scoop of Sun Warrior and 1/4 frozen avocado. My pudding toppings consisted of raw cashew cream and raw pumpkin seed butter. This was meant to be a mid-afternoon mini-meal but didn't really leave much room for dinner. Delicious AND filling!
Sorry Sabra, but I'm cheating on you…
I love anything containing horseradish…can't even begin to describe the damage I used to do back in the day with the Horsey squirt bottle at Arby's. I grabbed this last week while Justine and I perused the aisles at Trader Joe's together, and I'm so glad I did. Yum!
Last but not least, I did a little baking this weekend…
Many of you have emailed me for this recipe, and it can now be found here. These cookies are vegan, wheat & soy free, incredibly easy, and totally delicious. Enjoy…and Happy Belated Birthday Diana! 🙂

Press release from Diamond Brand Manufacturing:
Diamond Brand Manufacturing, a trusted supplier of tents and other canvas products to the Boy Scouts of America for more than 80 years, announced today that it would serve as sponsor of the new "Goin Great" area at Camp Daniel Boone in Asheville. "Goin Great" is at the heart of teaching responsible enjoyment of the outdoors, as it serves as the epicenter for local Boy Scouts honing their skills that eventually earn them merit badges – such as the one awarded for tying specialized knots. In addition, the "Goin Great" area also serves as the unofficial welcome center to visitors.
Improvements to "Goin Great" include updated buildings, new signage, shade shelters and meticulous landscaping of the grounds, all combined to create an overall better aesthetic experience for scouts, volunteers and visitors. To fund the "Goin Great" makeover, Diamond Brand will contribute more than $47,0000 in products and services (including nearly $30,000 in tents and frames) to the Daniel Boone Council.
"Diamond Brand is a tremendous partner of the Boy Scouts of America and the Daniel Boone Council," said Josh Christ, Scout Executive/CEO for the Daniel Boone Council. "It's a great company that puts out great products. We have received rave reviews from Scouts and leaders from across the country this summer about the new tents and frames they provided for Camp
Daniel Boone. They have been a very dedicated partner of the council for a long time and their support has helped us keep the character and leadership development programs of Scouting strong and growing in Western North Carolina. We are extremely grateful to Diamond Brand, their CEO, Will Gay and his entire staff for all they do."
Diamond Brand Manufacturing has a proud heritage of working with Boy Scouts of America, and as a result, has been a tremendous supporter of the Daniel Boone Council. In addition to the "Goin Great" sponsorship, Diamond Brand routinely invests nearly $20,000 annually in combined cash donations, discounts and event sponsorships to support Western North Carolina's Boy Scouts.
"We are delighted to maintain our 82-year history with the Boy Scouts of America as a trusted provider of shelter for their scouts and staff," said Will Gay, President & Owner – Diamond Brand. "We recognize all the good that scouts do in our community and the valuable lessons they teach about responsible enjoyment of the outdoors, so we are honored to continue to support our local council in a variety of ways. "

Two area players recently committed to Football Bowl Subdivi-sion (previously Division I) programs over the weekend, becoming the area's second and third major college commitments.
Chris Crenshaw, a rising senior at Jefferson County High, made a verbal commitment to Georgia Tech and South Aiken High's JerQuari Schofield did the same with Tennessee.
Crenshaw committed to Georgia Tech after attending a camp there this past weekend. He's a three-star player, according to recruiting Web site rivals.com.
"His best football is really in front of him," Jefferson County coach J.B. Arnold said. "He's just started growing."
Crenshaw, a 6-foot-2, 235-pound defensive end, has gained 30 pounds since the end of his junior season.
"And it hasn't slowed him down," Arnold said.
Schofield committed to Ten-nessee after he attended camp at the school last week, South Aiken coach Robert Wrightenberry said.
Tennessee was the first FBS school to offer Schofield a scholarship, Wrightenberry said. His only previous offer was from Division II Newberry College.
"They're the first real big-time school to offer him," Wrightenberry said. "I think he was just real comfortable up there."
Schofield, a three-year starter on the offensive line, is listed at 6-6, 300 pounds.
Brandon Watts, a Washington County High linebacker, is the only other area player to commit to a BCS-conference school. He made a verbal commitment to Georgia Tech in the spring.
Reach Matt Middleton at (706) 823-3425 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Nats 3B Zimmerman out of lineup; alters throwing
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman is making some adjustments to deal with a sore right shoulder, including changing his throwing motion and practicing less to ease up on wear and tear.
Zimmerman was out of the starting lineup again Tuesday night against the Marlins - he hasn't played in the field since Saturday. He worked before the game on making sidearm throws from third, instead of his usual over-the-top delivery, and hopes to be back at his usual spot against Miami on Wednesday.
''We're going to try and do whatever it takes to make it feel better and, more importantly, make me be productive. That's the most important thing. I don't want to continue to hurt the team,'' Zimmerman said.
''We messed around with it a little today, and it felt a lot better throwing that way,'' he added. ''I'll take some more ground balls tomorrow like that. The hope is to get into a routine where that becomes normal and effective and kind of go from there.''
He said that if his shoulder feels OK on Wednesday morning, he'll play that night against Miami.
Asked whether that's realistic, manager Matt Williams replied: ''Very realistic. If he comes in tomorrow and feels good, I'm going to put him in there. We need him to play third for us. He's a vital piece of this team - middle of the lineup and a fantastic hitter and a fantastic defender. We want him to play every day.''
The 29-year-old Zimmmerman, a 2009 NL Gold Glove award winner at third base, has been dealing on-and-off with shoulder problems for about two years, including when he got cortisone injections to help make it through 2012. After that season, Zimmerman had surgery on the shoulder. He made 16 throwing errors in 2013, although things appeared to be improving in the last couple of months of the season.
Still, there already were plans in spring training for Zimmerman to get some work at first base in 2014 before the latest issues cropped up.
Williams said Tuesday that he envisions using Zimmerman as a DH in interleague games and ''playing some first base during the course of the season, potentially.''
Zimmerman left Saturday's loss to Atlanta in the fifth inning because of soreness in his shoulder. An inning earlier, his second throwing error of the season led to a pair of unearned runs. He was used as a pinch hitter Sunday, and the team was off Monday.
He acknowledges he'll need to ease the load on his shoulder by cutting back on work between games.
''It's going to be hard for me. My whole career ... I've always been a guy who likes to hit a lot, likes to throw a lot, likes to take a lot of ground balls. It makes me feel prepared for the game,'' Zimmerman said. ''Times have changed a little bit now. I'm going to have to adjust.''
NOTES: The Nationals reconfigured their rotation slightly for the rest of the Marlins series and the three-game set at Atlanta that follows. After LHP Gio Gonzalez on Tuesday, the Nationals will go with RHP Jordan Zimmermann on Wednesday, and RHP Stephen Strasburg on Thursday. Then, for the Braves series that starts Friday, it will be RHP Tanner Roark, RHP Taylor Jordan, and Gonzalez. ... RHP Doug Fister, on the 15-day DL with a strained back muscle, threw from up to 120 feet and ''all indications afterward were that he felt good so we'll continue that process,'' Williams said. ... C Wilson Ramos says he's been told to expect to be sidelined up to two months after having surgery on his left wrist last week. He'll start rehab work next week, he said.

Baked Falafel
Debbie Koenig
Parents Need to Eat Too
Published by William Morrow
This takeout favorite is traditionally made with dried chickpeas that have been soaked and ground. To speed things up, I used canned beans and whir everything together in a food processor. Baking the falafel does away with the mess (and fat) of frying. If you don't have a food processor, mash the chickpeas with a potato masher, and finely chop the garlic and parsley before combining everything.
Make Baby Food: If your baby likes well-seasoned food, there's nothing in the falafel he can't eat. If you're concerned about the crunch outside, pull a few out of the oven before they get too well done. Hummus and pita are both fine for young'ns.
Mama Said:
"I took the lazy way out and whizzed the onion, garlic, and parsley together in the food processor before adding the chickpeas, and it worked out fine. The lemony salad on top of the creamy hummus with the crispy falafel was a very satisfying combo. My husband really enjoyed it, despite, normally being suspicious of things that aren't Italian or Mexican or a steak." —Alana D., mom of one, Providence, RI
"I tried freezing half the mixture in little flattened balls. It worked well (with slightly longer cooking times, of course), and being able to make a big batch to freeze is a HUGE bonus to me. I did not have high hopes for baked falafel, but they were great, and far better than the home-fried ones I've tried. This is going to be my new lunch standard!" —Darcy G., mom of two, Pleasant Prairie, WI

Taste and Texturecrisp, garlicky, herby, savory
- One 15- to 16-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 small onion or 2 scallions (white and light green parts), roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 3 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Juice of 1 lemon, divided (3 tablespoons)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Salt and pepper
- A mixture of salad vegetables, such as romaine, cucumber and grape tomatoes
- Whole-wheat pitas
- Store-bought hummus, tzatziki, tahini, etc.
Preheat oven to 450°F, and set racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Grease or line 2 baking sheets.
Combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, spices, flour, baking powder, half of the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a food processor. Pulse until well combined but mixture is still relatively coarse. You do not want a puree.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into about 24 balls (roughly 1½ inches in diameter) and arrange on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each slightly, and brush the tops with 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, then turn patties (rotating the trays when you take them out) and baked for another 10-12 minutes. You may find it easiest to turn them using two forks.
Toss the salad vegetables with the remaining lemon juice and olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with hummus or other condiments, as sandwiches or as a platter.

A woman named Madeline shot video footage of her life each day for a year with her Canon Powershot and then reduced each day to only one second clips. Compiling all the clips into a cohesive film, she shows us "What Madeline Did in 2011", which Gizmodo calls a "beautiful reminder that life is the sum of many parts."
Watch how a little more than one second every day for 365 days adds up to 7:37 minutes of life:
After making and watching the film, here are Madeline's reflections as written on her Vimeo site:
I love living in LA. I love the friends I've made. And I love seeing how much has changed over just one year being here. Sure, I guess now that I see it, I got sick and worked a lot this year (lots of driving, running around doing errands all day). But oh well, it's motivation for 2012!
Madeline writes that she hopes the video inspires watchers to "treasure every day you get and find the good, beautiful moments in even the worst days".

Rangers star Bilel Mohsni warned he must curb volatile temper
Rangers boss Ally McCoist has spoken with Bilel Mohsni about his conduct after a second red card inside a month.
Last Updated: 03/02/14 8:03pm
Mohsni received a second yellow card during the 2-1 win over Brechin on Saturday after kicking the ball against an opponent after play had stopped.
The former Southend player was also dismissed against Airdrie after a clash with Gary Bollan, and after missing games against Ayr and Stenhousemuir, he will return with another ban hanging over him as he is one booking shy of the threshold.
"I was very angry and disappointed on Saturday. Bilel knew that and the sending-off was silly and needless. It put us under a little bit of pressure," McCoist said.
"We had a good chat about it this morning and he's in total agreement with the sending-off, as you would expect. It was a silly thing to do but now we move on.
"We don't want it to happen again obviously and hopefully we can learn lessons from that particular incident.
"Bilel is like Madjid Bougherra was in many ways. They're both really passionate about their football and they react differently when they think an injustice has taken place.
"There was certainly no injustice in the sending-off, though. We just have to direct Bilel's passion and his natural aggression and sometimes he needs to take a step back.
"If that means counting to 10, he needs to count to 10. As I've said to him today, he's no use to us if he's suspended."

The roll-out of Obamacare has been nothing but a debacle.
Mr. Obama promised to bring in a boatload of "techies" to solve the problems he didn't count on. He was also unaware of the Fast and Furious scandal, but promises to get to the bottom of the problem. Likewise with the IRS scandal involving Lois Lerner, who has retired with full benefits and might testify before Congress after she has already taken the Fifth — but he will "get to the bottom of it."
And more of the same with Benghazi, where "people will be held accountable," but no one knows where he was that night; and Hillary Clinton, who will probably run for president, says, "What does it matter at this point?"
I can't believe he is so unaware of what is going on in his administration. I think he knows exactly what has transpired and has so far skillfully avoided being taken to task due to a love affair with the liberal media. I can't help but think this problem with Obamacare is just another way to get us to the single-payer system like Canada and Britain, which he has advocated for from the beginning. He just ignores problems until people seem to give up and go away.

TOPPENISH - Chris Indall carded the second lowest individual round on the day, powering the Sunnyside-area Black Rock Creek team to a first-place finish at last week's Mid Columbia Senior Golf Association event hosted by Toppenish's Mt. Adams Country Club.
The Toppenish competition was the second stop on the 2013 senior tour.
Coupled with Black Rock Creek's runner-up performance on the opening stop, at Pasco's Sun Willows Golf Course, the Lower Valley squad is now atop the Mid Columbia Senior Golf Association team standings.
Team scores at each event are based on each squad's two best gross scores and six best net scores (actual scores minus handicaps).
Indall toured the Toppenish course last week with a 3-over-par 75. Chris Leman had the second lowest score from Black Rock Creek's golfers...a 79.
The six low net scores from the Black Rock Creek team came from Max Wickham (66), Bud McGuiness (70), Mike Nichols (73), Mike Stegeman (73), Ken Ott (75) and Randy Boast (78).
The next Mid Columbia Senior Golf Association event will be held at Richland's Horn Rapids Golf Course on Wednesday, May 22. Local golfers must sign up in the Black Rock Creek pro shop no later than Monday, May 20.

EA allegedly considering two ways of re-introducing microtransactions into Star Wars Battlefront 2; Details
Yesterday at 12:08 pm | 9 Comments
If there is anything that Lords of Shadow has taught us, it's that despite the many times Konami has tried to bring the Castlevania into the 3D realm, this was finally a game that managed to do it, and did it right.
The sequel will feature Gabriel as Dracula on his quest to regain his lost power to combat a new enemy. He'll also have to deal with the Belmont clan who want him dead.
The brief glimpse of gameplay showed off some truly impressive in-game graphics with Gabriel pulling off some very slick moves against some nasty monsters.
There was no official date set when the trailer premiered at the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards, however it was noted that the game is set to release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Did you freeze com.sec.android.app.FlashbarService? If so, defrost that first... there may be other dependencies that need to be active but I'm not exactly sure what they are. If FlashBar service is active (but possibly crashing or something), as an "almost last resort", you may want to defrost everything (which would hopefully restore multi window) then go through and re-frost rather slowly until you notice the problem has started again, then you can pinpoint which other element is the problem (lot's of fun, I know!). Or if flashbarservice is active but crashing, I would try to catch it in a log, and you may be able to tell what it's missing but needs from that. Hope it's an easy fix!

Men held in death probe questioned
Murder detectives will today continue to question eight men arrested over a violent disturbance in which one person was fatally stabbed and another shot.
Another two men, aged 22 and 25, have also been detained over the incident in Birmingham's Sparkbrook area on Wednesday night but have been receiving medical attention and will be interviewed by officers once declared fit.
Ikram Ullah Khan, 28, who was known locally as Ikram Elahi, died after being stabbed in the neck, while another man was slashed and a third victim shot.
West Midlands Police arrested four of the men - aged 30, 31, 32 and 34 - on suspicion of attempted murder yesterday along with the pair receiving medical attention.
The arrests follow those of another four men, aged between 24 and 27, on suspicion of murder late on Thursday who are still assisting police with their inquiries.
In all ten people have now been detained in connection with the investigation.
Mr Khan was initially reported to have been shot dead but a post-mortem examination established the cause of death was as a result of a single stab wound.
Superintendent Bas Javid said: "The investigation continues and we are working hard to establish the full circumstances of what has happened.
"We appreciate how unsettling this is for the community especially when guns and knives are used.
"We would encourage people not to speculate and again I would reiterate that there is nothing to suggest this will spark any further disorder.
"We remain in close liaison with local communities and we are listening to any concerns they may have as well as keeping them as up to date with the investigation as possible."
Local councillor Mariam Khan paid tribute to the dead man on Twitter, writing: "RIP Ikram Elahi... A life lost over a dispute. Terrible news."
