In Holacracy, Tension describes a person's felt sense that there is a gap between the current reality and a potential future.
Although the word 'tension' may have a negative connotation in common usage, Holacracy's use of the term is neutral: The tension itself is the raw felt sense of dissonance, before we label it as "negative" or "positive".
An example of tension might be that your company has published a book, the sales are slow, and you'd like them to be higher. Another might be that a big client has expressed interest in your services, and you already have too many clients than you have time to serve. One might label the first example as a problem, while the second may be seen primarily as an opportunity. As far as Holacracy is concerned, both are "tensions" and require some action to be addressed.
One way Holacracy makes a clear distinction between people and role is by providing processes that help distinguish "personal tensions" (personal preferences, ego) from "organizational tensions" (coming from roles), and not letting the former impact the organization. A good example of this feature is during the Objection round of Governance meetings: one of the criteria used to determine the validity of an Objection is whether the ground for the Objection is limiting one of the objector's roles to do its work. If not, then the objection is deemed not valid.

93 million miles is almost too many miles to comprehend, but that's how far it is from Earth to that beloved yellow dwarf star keeping our ecosystem humming along.
Despite such a distance, we Earthlings can still feel the Sun's heat. But more importantly, we can feel the effects of what happens on its surface, including coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares. In fact, the fallout of a massive solar flare that erupted Tuesday evening has reached our atmosphere as of today. The effects of the storm have turned out to be a lot milder than many previously expected, meaning our GPS navigation systems, power grids, and flight schedules are safe... at least for now. We are only four years into the current 11-year solar cycle, so solar storms are expected to increase in both frequency and intensity. Scientists at NASA predict a peak in the frequency of solar activity around 2013 when it's likely at least a couple of CMEs would reach Earth each week. While the storms may be most frequent in 2013, the intensity of storms won't likely peak until around 2014.

My patience is about to die.
The name Gauntlet alone brings forth all kinds of nerd sense memories. The scent of pizza and laundromats fills the nostrils, the image of quarters sitting on an arcade cabinet flashes into focus, the sound of Death stealing your life echoes in the ears and the taste of food you needed to eat…badly…is almost palpable. When those geek instincts kick in, they do so hard.
So the allure of Seven Sorrows is impossible to ignore. First, it's Gauntlet, and despite the anemic Dark Legacy, hope remains for those not yet crushed under the weight of the sequel factory. Second, "seven" is an interesting number and "sorrows" sounds like fun, making these "seven sorrows" worth investigating.
[image1] But sometimes, you have to ignore your inner geek. We wish we did when we tried playing this bad action game, because no matter how fond you are of its glorious past, there's simply no good reason to bother running this Gauntlet.
The story – yes, there's a story – is oddly complicated fort such a basic game. The seven sorrows of the title are held by an ethereal emperor, who imprisoned the four heroes in an effort to steal their immortality (though we didn't know they were immortal in the first place). The emperor had six high advisors to aid him in this fell deed, but that didn't stop his plan from failing and he from dying. Apparently that was the first sorrow, the other six being the advisors, or in-game bosses, who are just kicking everything's ass in the absence of the four great heroes. So you pick up the torch and guide the newly freed grunts through a laborious adventure to save the blah blah blah.
Indeed, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows is little more than your typical hack and slash button-masher. The Warrior, Valkyrie, Elf, and Wizard all share the same fighting template, which includes attack, defend and attack harder. The latter is really just a strike that lifts enemies into the air to buy some time to wail on the other twenty mobs that spawned from generators right behind you. When you're swarmed, which will happen often, you can manage enemies with a couple of nuke spells or a global block-then-counter. Every class also has a weak ranged attack and a dodge, both of which you'll use just to keep your brain turning to slime from all the mindless hacking, since they usually do more harm than good.
Since all four characters are derived from the same control scheme, they all play identically. In an effort to add depth, every hero has an Offense, Health, and Mana Regen stat to juice up after every level you gain. The only difference between the four is that each hero starts the game with different XP in each stat category. After the first couple of levels, you can tweak the Wizard to be as good a tank as the Warrior, and vice versa.
[image2]The flexibility to make any class any way you want is good in theory, but only when there are enough stat categories to separate the classes. This simple design does not make for interesting customization decisions at all, rather leading to the destruction of the whole class system in the first place.
After each stage, you can use gold to buy new melee combos or spells, but well runs dry about halfway through the six-hour campaign. Even if you haven't had a few pet combos already fused into your brain from sheer repetition, the new skills you buy are so superficial that you might as well stick to what works and keep mashing away through the linear levels.
The environments are equally bland, ranging from trap-filled dungeons to wrecked towns and dark forests, and they all have the Gauntlet-specific enemy generators dotted throughout. It's odd that these generators have multiple stages of decay when you whack at them, but always produce the same level mob, which isn't like Gauntlet at all. And since you fight the same way all the time, the environments are cosmetic only.
When all the generators are destroyed, the game will spawn enemies endlessly out of the background, pushing you forever forward. The switch you need to hit or keys you need to grab are always laid directly in your path until the bosses arrive to provide a somewhat decent, if not cheesy, challenge.
As before, that challenge is best faced with some friends. Seven Sorrows pleasantly lets you play with three others online or off, though it's the same breed of hack and slash gameplay either way. With more than one person playing there's hardly a need to block or space yourself out, making the fighting that much more mindless. Each hero wreaks a tremendous amount of havoc, so all you need to do is stay in the middle and mashy mashy mashy through the same stages you endured in the single-player. What's most commendable in this is the fact that the framerate hardly ever suffers regardless of the madness onscreen.
[image3]The trade-off is grainy graphics and textures, though there are some neat particle effects and lighting auras. The gritty enemy models are detailed enough to tell what they are before you rip through them, and each of the heroes go through superficial armor upgrades that change their appearance from time to time, but that's all there is to it.
And yes, that old narrator and his endless play-by-play is back. "Red Warrior needs food, badly!" We know, dude, but in a game of this type with life bars dropping all the time, auditory nausea is the hardest enemy to fend off.
Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows reworks a couple of the shortcomings of its predecessor, but has gleaned nothing from its ancestry. The winding dungeon crawl the franchise defined long ago has been replaced with a lifeless linear action game's dash, one which will hopefully get back on the track its forefathers fought so hard to gain. Someone, it seems, shot the food again.

Daley highlights city's environmental initiatives
In a room packed with WEFTEC attendees, Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago culminated a special session on infrastructure and sustainability on Monday with an overview of how the city of Chicago has been an active environmental leader, demonstrating to the world that nature and urban areas can in fact coexist.
Mayor Daley highlighted some of the city's environmental initiatives, such as the recently unveiled Chicago Climate Action Plan as well as the Great Lakes Compact, the Deep Tunnel Project and the Green Alleys Program, which is rebuilding the city's 1,900 miles of back alleys with permeable pavement to allow storm water to seep through the pavement into the ground rather than entering the city's sewage system.
The city of Chicago also is enacting a new storm water ordinance that encourages developers to use green building techniques to manage storm water on site, as well as water conservation efforts that encourage residents to conserve water with opportunities such as the rain barrel program.
Mayor Daley also stressed the importance of replacing the city's aging infrastructure, which is reaching the end of its lifespan. He urged the new U.S. President to invest adequate funds to infrastructure—including water, roads and bridges—to maintain the U.S. economy and to allow our country to compete on a global level.

Newsmaker: Beckham's football passion to light up Paris?
Dressed in a sharp grey suit, blond hair neatly side-parted and wooing a crowd of French reporters with his boyish English charm, David Beckham began the latest, and possibly final, chapter of an extraordinary boys' own football tale on Thursday.sports Updated: Feb 01, 2013 17:51 IST
Dressed in a sharp grey suit, blond hair neatly side-parted and wooing a crowd of French reporters with his boyish English charm, David Beckham began the latest, and possibly final, chapter of an extraordinary boys' own football tale on Thursday.
Given the clamour surrounding his signing of a five-month deal with Paris St Germain, the marketing gurus will already be rubbing their hands at the thought of Beckham sprinkling his magic dust on the ambitious club's global profile. Paris lights up at news of Beckham arrival
Whether or not Beckham's brief tango in the City of Light has much impact on the club's performance on the field of play is another matter, as they doing rather well already.
One thing, however, is for sure.
The 37-year-old, despite the glitz and glamour, the Hollywood friends and an annual turnover the size of a small country, will be desperate to prove he still has something to offer the game that made him a sporting icon.
"Wherever I've played, whatever team I've played for, I'm always 150 percent committed," Beckham told a news conference in which he announced his salary would be paid to a children's charity in the French capital. Beckham with PSG a boon for Paris: mayor
"I don't know if this will be my last contract. People have been speculating about that for a number of years, but I continue to play and sign contracts.
"I will see how I feel but I want to play as long as possible. My passion is football. It always has been."
Some may see PSG's signing of the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy midfielder as little more than a gimmick, but Beckham's fanatical devotion to the game means PSG fans can look forward to some illuminating cameo performances.
The week in week out hurly burly of league football might be too much for Beckham's ageing legs, but as an impact substitute, manager Carlo Ancelotti may have a useful weapon in his armoury.
"I can run around," Beckham said. "I've not lost any of my pace because, to be honest, I've not had a lot of pace during my career. For me, Carlo Ancelotti is one of the best managers I have played for. It's exciting on a number of levels."
Whatever Beckham's impact on the pitch, his presence around the training ground will do PSG no harm as they try to win the French title and progress in the Champions League in which they face Valencia in the last 16. British press lauds David Beckham's last tango in Paris
Glowing praise
Having not played a match since signing off with LA Galaxy in the MLS Cup final in November, Beckham trained with Arsenal this week to regain his fitness and received glowing praise from Arsene Wenger.
"This guy has fantastic quality and has done the maximum in his career. Why? Because he loves football. After training he stays and plays," Wenger said.
From the day a teenaged Beckham scored a goal from inside his own half for Manchester United in 1996, most of his career has been spent scaling dizzy heights.
While never blessed with lightning pace, nor the tricks of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, Beckham's tireless energy, trademark free-kicks and ability to deliver crosses on a coin, made him a potent force.
At Manchester United, the club of his boyhood dreams, he was instrumental in six Premier league titles. After leaving Old Trafford he spent four years at Real Madrid, winning LA Liga in his final season before pitching up in Los Angeles in 2007.
With Galaxy he joined a select group of players to win titles in three countries and yet, rather than relax on the California beaches during the off-season, the father of four twice headed back to freezing Milan for loan spells with Milan.
Nothing has given Beckham greater pride, however, than captaining his country and in 2009 he became England's most capped outfield player, edging past the 109 of Bobby Moore.
A Champions League winner with Manchester United in 1999 and twice runner-up in the FIFA World Player of the Year awards, there is precious little missing from Beckham's footballing CV while his off-field appeal continues to soar.
Once nicknamed Golden Balls, Beckham has had films named after him, become an ambassador for his country, befriended Hollywood A-listers and British royalty and even played a James Bond-inspired role in last year's London 2012 opening ceremony.
While the family man clearly enjoys the fame and fortune he has gained from his talent, a passion for battle on a football pitch remains his real fix.
His five months in Paris could be the last stop for the Beckham bandwagon although on Thursday he declared he still felt like a 21-year-old so who knows where the story will end?
A circus it may be, but Beckham clearly remains the ringmaster.

I was reading a translated version of the Internet Manifesto (you can find it here) when I was suddenly and unexpectedly struck by an attack of cynicism. Because I agree with the statements it makes but the huge, clanging problem with the 17 stated fundamental points, basic as they are, is that they are on… the internet. And, for too many people in too many newsrooms, things on the internet really don't seem to be considered that important.
Exactly why this is depends on who you're talking to. Higher up the editorial food chain the internet might not be on their radar because the focus is on the money-making print product. At reporter level, it can be a whole different set of issues, although workload is probably at the forefront.
So writing down journalism manifestos and putting it online isn't the answer, because too many of the people who need convincing aren't looking there that often.
It's a serious problem and, I think, it's the new elephant in the newsroom. Do we really know how far a rival's newsroom has embraced multimedia? Every regional paper in the UK talks Good Digital but the reality is somewhat detached from that, I'd be willing to bet.
Now, there are moves to create a new Internet Manifesto here so I'm not going attempt to reinvent the wheel here. But, for me, there are five comments that are – at one time or another – heard in a newsroom, which all the manifesto pledges in the world aren't going to solve; these are the issues that newspaper execs need to start addressing right now.
1. "I'm too busy to.."
Someone who says "I'm too busy to…" (shoot a video/record some audio/set up a survey…) is limiting themselves to one avenue of story-telling – text. By committing to a traditional interview – a reporter writes information down, then writes it up – the newspaper closes off new ways of exploring the issues and finding out what is relevant to its readers.
Time is obviously a consideration – you still have to edit video packages, or create that survey – and a journalist who is juggling three other page leads they need to write for the next day's paper is going to look for savings somewhere. But it shouldn't be the multimedia aspect of a story. I would say: take responsibility for your workload; if you're filming a video package to run with the online version of your news story, the newsdesk needs to budget for you being out of the office to do the interview, write the copy, and then edit said package. Whether the issue is reporters speaking up, or news editors listening to them, or editors being clear on what the agenda is, it's not an insurmountable problem.
2. 'I don't know how to use/make that'
Saying 'I don't know how to use/make that' is pefectly ok – so long as you follow it up with 'so will you show me?' No one is born knowing how to run an rss feed into a widget, but plenty of people in your newsroom have learned how it works and will help you out if you ask. Blogging isn't a mystery, but why some people in a newsroom view it as a chore to be avoided it at every opportunity is. The internet isn't going away and advertisers are not going to start hurling money at newspapers like they used to; this means that anyone planning on staying in journalism should want to be learning new skills – not only do these open up whole new ways of story-telling, but they make sense from a point of self-interest. After all, in a multimedia world, who is more likely to find themselves valued by an employer?
3. "No one asked me…"
If you're asked why you didn't (grab some cameraphone footage/record audio/write a blog post) the reply "No one asked me for any" is possibly the worst one you can give (other than "I didn't have time" – see point 1). Don't wait to be asked – think! Plan ahead in the same way you marshal your questions in advance for a planned interview, and if it's a breaking news story then the scope for instant digital journalism is even greater – tweet, post photos of what's happening to your own or your newspaper's Twitter stream, livestream action using Qik or Bambuser, and be proactive. Text is the least creative part of any news story; ultimately, no matter how well-written your colleagues tell you it is, it's simply 350-plus words to fill a space in a news page. If you supplement your text with still and moving images, a podcast, an interactive Q&A, or a liveblog, how much more dynamic and memorable will your complete package be? How much more valuable will it be to the audience? The answer is simple: A lot.
Stop thinking in terms of words and pictures for a printed page because this happens anyway if you're doing multimedia journalism the right way.
4. "It's only the website
If you believe "It's only the website" it tends to show. I suspect any digital editor can reel off the names of those in their newsroom who 'get' the web, and those who Can't, Don't or Won't. Those that do are the ones who update their blogs without thinking, are comfortable joining and conversing in online communities, whose toolkit extends further than notebook and pencil. They may turn to Twitter when there's a breaking news story to ask for people's help in covering it, and they are likely to commit spontaneous acts of multimedia journalism. The Can'ts need time, training and encouragement; at its most simple, digital journalism is just publishing instantly, instead of waiting for a press to start rolling.
The Don'ts and the Won'ts usually revert to Stress, Morose or Baffled mode when asked to do something vaguely digital, and then don't do it, citing various problems, from technical to time. The main problem, of course, is that their chosen industry has evolved, and they haven't, yet.
5. "Digital doesn't make money" (variation: "Print is profitable")
Any journalists who use the phrase "Digital doesn't make money", or its evil twin "Print is where the money is" when questioning (aloud or as part of an inner debate) the value of a newspaper's website need to stop and consider this question: Why does suddenly this matter to you?
Someone raised an interesting point with me recently by asking why newspaper journalists – who have always viewed themselves as above the sordid business of making money – have suddenly started wielding digital income statistics like a shield.
Ten years ago, the Advertising department was a newsroom's mad wife in the attic – we all knew it was there, but didn't really like to think about what it was up to. Frankly, most journalists neither know nor care what the industry's print advertising revenue is. What you, as a journalist, probably do care about is that things are changing, you're unsure about the future, and you have no idea whether you chose the right career or not.
I agree that updating your work blog is unlikely to turn around the financial black hole our industry is attempting to extract itself from at the moment.
But that work blog might help your future prospects, it definitely allows your audience to start conversations with you and it's certainly one of the more rewarding ways of sharing facts, opinions, photos, videos, links, slideshows, audio, word clouds, tweet clouds, timelines, interactive widgets – and those are just the things I can list off the top of my head. And more ways of telling the story are being invented all the time.
Online journalism shouldn't be a chore, it should be exciting, different, interesting, and fun. If you're working as a multimedia journalist you have the opportunity to be a real pioneer in the art of online storytelling, audience engagement, and new ways of sourcing, sharing and developing information. That has to be worth being a part of.

Phillies lose first challenge on play at first base
CHICAGO -- The Phillies challenged their first call via instant replay in the fifth inning Sunday at Wrigley Field and lost.
They challenged that Chase Utley beat a throw to first base from Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro, but the umpires took a look at the video and confirmed the out call.
It would have helped the Phillies had it been overturned, considering they had runners on first and third with no outs at the time. Ben Revere scored from third on the play, cutting the Cubs' lead to 4-1 in an eventual 8-3 victory.
"It was a bang-bang play," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "It's the fifth inning. We need baserunners. It was worth a shot."
Sandberg went out to discuss the play with first-base umpire CB Bucknor before asking for a review of the play. It took a while to get the word from the dugout to review it.
"There are some rails and stuff [in the dugout]," Sandberg said. "It's hard to see my signal from the dugout there, but the process was fine."

Check out that wattle. And that snood.
Tomorrow is the Thanksgiving holiday in Canada. Food wise, it's pretty similar to the US which generally means turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie and so on. If you're going to have a big family dinner, it's usually today, Sunday. Then everyone spends the holiday Monday on a couch complaining about how much they ate.
About the turkey, I have to say, I don't think I've ever really taken such a close-up look at one like I did last March at a small petting zoo near my in-law's place. That wattle—the red skin hanging from the turkey's chin—is, well, wrinklier and redder and bigger than I'd imagined. And that snood—the skin hanging off the turkey's forehead and actually covering its beak—is, well, it matches the wattle. But I think it's that weird lumpy brain looking skin on the top of its head that creeps me out the most, for some reason. Or, maybe it's just the combination of all three.
Anyway, happy turkey dinner everyone.

They shall see the Lord face to face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. It will never be night again and they will not need lamplight or sunlight, because the Lord God will be shining on them. They will reign for ever and ever. (Rev 22:4-5)
Just over a week ago on the beautiful feast of Christ the King the Lord called our dear Sr Rosaleen to her eternal home, while the community were praying the Office of night prayer around her bedside. As the above scripture passage was being read her breathing began to fail and ever so gently she breathed her last as we sang the response:
"Into your hands I commend my spirit. You have redeemed us Lord God of truth."
We continued with the canticle of Simeon:
At last, all powerful Master
You give leave to your servant
to go in peace, according to your promise.
For my eyes have seen your salvation
which you have prepared for all nations,
the light to enlighten the Gentiles
and give glory to Israel your people.
No doubt her passing made a deep impression on us and brought home to each of us the mysterious presence and closeness of the Lord in our lives. Sr Rosaleen at 97 had a long wait before seeing the Lord's face. We pray that now she is basking in the sunlight of His Presence and interceding for all of us.
As we begin the season of Advent we too are waiting with longing for the coming of the Lord:
O that you would teat the heavens open and come down!(Is 63)
The emphasis in the readings for this first Sunday of Advent is on Jesus' second coming at the end of time – as we come nearer to Christmas we remember his coming in the flesh over 2,000 years ago. But as we try to be faithful disciples of Jesus it is even more important for us to recognise his coming at every moment in every person we meet, in every circumstance in which we find ourselves. In the Gospel Jesus invites us to "stay awake" and "be on the watch".
Let us live this Advent in preparation for our celebration of Christmas in the sure knowledge that we are always in His Presence – held by His right hand as with the psalmist we pray:
God of Hosts bring us back
Let your face shine on us and we shall be saved (Ps 79)
Then we shall be ready, as our dear Sr Rosaleen was, to go forth to meet the Lord when He eventually calls us to our eternal home, to be with him and our loved ones for ever.

In times of crisis, children need thoughtful adult support. Crisis events can range from a death in the family to a tragedy of national proportions. While each situation will require a different plan of action, parents can start by following these tips, provided by Greg Adams, director of the Center for Good Mourning and Palliative Care at Arkansas Children's Hospital.
1. In order to best help children understand a situation, parents need to learn how much information a child already knows about an event or disaster.
2. After determining how children have learned about a tragedy, parents can then decide what details to share with their children and how best they can meet their needs, without overloading them with too much information. More information can be given at a later time, if needed.
3. Children need the truth in clear and age-appropriate terms to give them a sense of security and safety. This does not mean that children need or can understand as many details as adults need and can understand. It is helpful for information to come from adults who children know and trust.
4. Parents can support children by asking about their worries and concerns and watch for changes in their children's behavior and moods.
5. Children feel reassurance through structure and dependability. Continuing daily routines and keeping them in familiar environments is helpful for children. Keeping communication open for children helps them to feel safe.
6. Parents know their children best and know what specific needs must be met for them. What works for one child in dealing with tragedy may vary for another.
7. How much media coverage a child sees and hears needs to be carefully considered by parents as exposure to media reports, especially repeated exposure, may increase a child's anxiety level.
8. Children need adults to be as calm and non-anxious as possible when communicating with them about a tragic event.
9. It is important for parents to be especially thoughtful when attempting to support a child, as what causes stress for adults and for children can differ.
10. If a child has worrisome changes in behavior or moods, seek professional help and guidance.

Florida State wide receiver and senior-to-be Corey Surrency's life has taken several twists. As the Orlando Sentinel reports:Surrency dropped out of high school in the ninth grade, he said, to support his family. He served jail time, 90 days, after being charged with various crimes, some felonies. He decided to make something of himself. Earned his diploma. Began playing football. Wound up at a California community college, then at Florida State.
. . .
Before enrolling at Florida State and before enrolling in El Camino Community College, where Surrency played for two seasons, he played with the Florida Kings, a South Florida "minor league" football team that has helped athletes with troubled pasts to earn opportunities to play in college.
Quite the saga. But there's a new twist, and it's the cruelest yet:A little-known NCAA rule has jeopardized his future.
The rule is No. 22.214.171.124 in the NCAA Division I Manuel. It is titled, "Participation After 21st Birthday," and it mandates the following: If an individual participates in an organized sport after his 21st birthday, but before enrolling in college, that participation "shall count as one year of varsity competition in that sport."
. . .
Surrency played with the [minor league] Kings after he had turned 21. Had he not, he might never have had the chance to go to college. Regardless, though, his time with the Kings has cost him his final year of eligibility — at least for now. Florida State is appealing on Surrency's behalf.
If FSU loses the appeal, Surrency's college football career would be over. It's likely, too, that his pursuit of earning a degree in criminal justice — Surrency would become the first member of his family to earn a college degree — would also be over.
The rumor mill is that he is trying out for the UFL. Good luck to him.

Executive summaries
the Reports
In 2003, the Heschong
Mahone Group completed a second suite of major human performance studies on
behalf of the California Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy Research
(PIER) program. These include: a study of how skylighting effects the sales at a
second chain retailer; how physical comfort conditions in classrooms are
associated with student learning at Fresno Unified School District; and how
windows and how physical comfort conditions are related to office worker
performance at Sacramento Municipal Utility District offices. These new
productivity studies consider the impact of daylight on human performance, along
with other aspects of the indoor environment such as ventilation and view.
For the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company in 1999, we studied the correlation between daylight availability
and human productivity. The study was done in two parts. One part looked at
elementary student test scores in three school districts. The second part looked
at retail sales in a chain of 100+ similar stores. To obtain a copy of the
condensed reports, follow the link to

Zack Wheeler pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the New York Mets piled up a season-high 17 hits in routing the Washington Nationals 11-3 on Saturday night.
Eric Young Jr., Daniel Murphy, Josh Satin and Juan Lagares had three hits apiece for New York, which scored 11 runs for the second time in three days and won its third straight.
The news wasn't all good for the injury-riddled Mets, though. First baseman Ike Davis left with a strained muscle on his right side after hitting a sacrifice fly in the third.
Wheeler (7-3) allowed two runs and five hits in 6 2-3 innings, striking out three and walking one. Since the start of July, the touted rookie is 6-2 with a 2.96 ERA.
The Nationals, who began play 6 1/2 games behind Cincinnati for the second NL wild card, have lost the first two games of the series.
Denard Span had three hits for Washington, extending his hitting streak to 14 games.
Dan Haren (8-12) allowed seven runs and nine hits in 2 2-3 innings, his shortest start of the season.
The Mets have won 10 of Wheeler's 14 starts, and he improved to 5-0 with a 2.19 ERA on the road.
Haren, who had been pitching well since a stint on the disabled list, has given up 11 earned runs over 9 2-3 innings in his last two starts.
The Mets got two off Haren in the second. With one out, Travis d'Arnaud and Lagares singled. After Haren fanned Matt den Dekker, Omar Quintanilla hit a drive to right-center just beyond the reach of a diving Span for a two-run double.
In the third, the Mets sent 11 batters to the plate. Young led off with a single, stole second and scored on a single by Murphy. With Murphy running, Satin singled to left, putting runners on first and third.
Davis drove in Murphy with a sacrifice fly to make it 4-0. After d'Arnaud singled, Lagares singled to right, and Jayson Werth's throw to the plate cut down Satin. But den Dekker followed with his first major league hit, a single that scored d'Arnaud and ended Haren's night.
Consecutive walks, the second one to Wheeler, forced in a run, and Young capped the inning with a two-run single to make it 8-0.
Washington got two back in the sixth on Werth's sacrifice fly and Ian Desmond's RBI single.
NOTES: Lucas Duda replaced Davis at first base. New York already is missing All-Star third baseman David Wright, closer Bobby Parnell and several starting pitchers due to injuries - including young ace Matt Harvey. ... Desmond added his 34th double of the season, a career high. ... Nationals manager Davey Johnson was back in the dugout one night after leaving in the fourth inning due to dehydration. ... Johnson said he would speak to Bryce Harper regarding Harper not hustling after hitting a grounder to second in the eighth inning of Friday night's 3-2 loss. Johnson added that Harper might be favoring his left knee, which he injured earlier this year. Harper missed 31 games due to bursitis in the knee and Johnson said minor offseason surgery to remove a bursa sac is an option. ... Young stole a base for the fourth straight game. ... LHP Jonathon Niese (6-6, 3.69 ERA) opposes Washington RHP Ross Ohlendorf (2-0, 2.58) in the series finale Sunday night.


text: |This is a hunting and survival game designed to be a relaxing experience. Similar to real life sport hunting the challenge in Sovereign comes from actually hitting your target. Difficulty is left to the game player in that you can walk up and smack your target with an arrow at close range, but it's more challenging and rewarding to take your time and nail that target from a good distance. The choice is yours. Sovereign also adds the additional element of survival and inventory management. You must keep yourself alive by collecting food from the animals that you kill and retrieve items such as wood to create new arrows so the hunt can continue. Sovereign is an enjoyable game to work on so I expect to continue development of this game by adding additional environments, animals and features as time progresses so check back.

Sabo Symposium focuses on the nexus of school districts,
communities, state government
The spring 2013 Martin Olav Sabo Symposium will feature Minnesota public figures who will model civil dialogue in a discussion on the relationship between government, school districts, and the communities they serve.
Augsburg College will host "Funding Minnesota's Future: State Government and its Partnership with School Districts and Communities," the 10th Sabo Symposium, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., March 13, in Hoversten Chapel.
The event will feature Myron Frans, the Minnesota Commissioner of Revenue.
"Frans will be speaking on the real implications Minnesota schools and communities will see relative to Governor Dayton's proposed budget," said Garry Hesser, professor and Sabo chair for citizenship and learning.
A bipartisan conversation will follow the presentation by Frans, and two respondents will discuss their perspectives. Alexandria Mayor Sara Carlson will address the state-city relationship.
The second respondent, Peggy Ingison, will talk about the state-school district relationship. Ingison is the former chief financial officer of Minneapolis Public Schools, and she "can respond informatively as to what action is needed by schools depending on the size and type of state budget put forward," according to Hesser.
The conversation between Frans, Carlson, and Ingison will be moderated by Tom Berg, author of Minnesota's Miracle: Learning from the Government that Worked, and Martin Olav Sabo '59, Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District representative in the U.S. House for 28 years and Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning namesake.
Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning
The Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning is an important contributor to Augsburg's mission to educate informed citizens. The Sabo Center was established in 2009 and since has connected the College to the greater community. The Sabo Center is a hub for public outreach with Campus Kitchen, the Center for Democracy and Citizenship, Bonner Leaders Program, Minnesota Campus Compact, Minnesota Urban Debate League, and other initiatives that stimulate and reinforce the role of higher education in promoting active citizenship.
"We want Augsburg students to engage in public policy issues and consider how elected officials and public servants play a critical role in that process," Hesser said. "Our three panelists at the Sabo Symposium are exemplary people who have devoted much of their professional careers to public service."
The Sabo Symposium is co-sponsored by: the Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning, Environmental Studies Department, Economics Department, Political Science Department, Social Work Department, Sociology Department, Business Department, Metro-Urban Studies Department, and the Master of Arts in Leadership Program.

I was wondering you guys impressions on the right setup to use for yellow tail?
I was thinking my star plasma rod would be good because of how sensitive it is, but it is an "inshore" rod and i am fishing offshore.
generally offshore gear is for heavier duty bigger stuff but for yellowtail inshore gear is probably fine right if not better for the best feel?

The iPhone shoots pretty awesome video but there's always been one really annoying flaw: If you don't hold it in landscape mode, your video can sometimes come out with a funky letterbox effect.
If only there was a way to always shoot in wide mode and stop the "vertical video syndrome."
Well, today is that day.
A new app called Horizon has just made it into the App Store and it always shoots wide shots, whether you hold it in portrait, landscape, or even sideways.
"While many apps like Instagram offer straightening in photos, Horizon is the first app to do this on video and in realtime," Evil Window Dog, the development studio who built the app, said in a press release. "As the user records, Horizon autolevels videos utilizing the device's gyroscope. The orientation of the resulting video stays corrected so that it is always parallel to the ground."
From TUAW:
Horizon uses a neat trick to always record in horizontal mode. The app has a rectangular indicator that always stays in the center of screen. It's within this viewport that the Horizon app is capturing. No matter how you rotate the device, this box stays centered on the screen. When you start shooting in portrait mode, for example, all you will capture is the horizontal content within the viewport.
The iOS app (it runs on iPhone 4s/iPad 3 and above) has other features as well, including Instagram-like filters and the ability to capture in multiple resolutions. You can find it in the Apple store now.
Here's a demo video of how it works:

Mac OS X: How to add an alert sound
If you'd like to add your own alert sounds to Mac OS X, you can as long as your audio file is in AIFF format and has the ".aiff" extension appended to the filename. (Note: The suffix ".aif" is not sufficient in Mac OS X 10.1.5 and earlier.) Here's how to add your own alert sounds to your system.
- Locate the AIFF sound file you want to use in the Finder.
- From the File menu, choose New Finder Window to open another Finder window.
- Select your Home folder in the new Finder window.
- Open the Library folder.
- Open the Sounds folder—you should now be in ~/Library/Sounds, where the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
- Drag your AIFF file from your first Finder window to the Sounds folder in the second Finder window.
- From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
- In the resulting window, click Sound to display its pane.
- Click the Sound Effects tab.
- Your sound should appear in the alert sound list; just select it to put it in use.
Tip: If you'd like to make your sounds available to other users on your computer, create a Sounds folder, put it in the Library folder at the root of your system (/Library), and drag in your AIFF files.
How to convert a sound file to AIFF format
If your sound file is not in AIFF format, you can use an audio application, such as iTunes or QuickTime Pro, that can convert sound files between formats—as long as your selected application can open and play the file that you wish to convert.
Using iTunes to convert audio files to AIFF format
- Open iTunes (it's in the Applications folder).
- From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
- Click the Importing button.
- From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose AIFF Encoder.
- Click OK.
- Hold down the Option key and from the Advanced menu, choose Convert Selection to AIFF.
- In the resulting Convert window, navigate to and select your audio file.
- Click Choose. iTunes begins to convert the file.
- After iTunes finishes the conversion, drag the AIFF file from the iTunes library to either /Users/username/Library/Sounds or /Library/Sounds (if you are using Mac OS X 10.1.5 or earlier, be sure to change the filename extension from ".aif" to ".aiff").
You can then delete the audio file from your iTunes library if you wish (just select the file and press Delete).
Note: If you're using Mac OS X 10.0 and cannot use iTunes, you can use QuickTime Player to do the conversion as long as you've upgraded to QuickTime Pro, and the file is one that QuickTime Player can open and play.
Using QuickTime Pro to convert audio files to AIFF format
Note: Certain files that work with the Mac OS 9 version of QuickTime Player may not work with the Mac OS X version, and vice versa. For example, if you want to bring a sound from the Mac OS 9 System suitcase (also known as a "System 7 Sound") into Mac OS X, you must make the AIFF conversion in the Mac OS 9 version of QuickTime Player—not the Mac OS X version. If needed, you can open the Mac OS 9 version of QuickTime Player in the Classic environment of Mac OS X.
- Open QuickTime Player (it's in the Applications folder).
- From the File menu, choose Import. QuickTime 7 Pro users: From the File menu, choose Open File.
- In the resulting dialog, navigate to and select the sound file that you wish to convert.
- Click Open.
- From the File menu, choose Export.
- In the resulting dialog, choose a location to save the new file (the Desktop or your Documents folder are good choices).
- From the Export pop-up menu, choose Sound to AIFF.
- In the Save As field, check the file name to be sure it ends with a ".aiff" extension.
- Click Save.
Once QuickTime has converted your file, drag the AIFF file to either /Users/username/Library/Sounds or /Library/Sounds.
