After the passing of the Telework Enhancement Act the year before, 2011 was a time of transition for federal agencies, which moved to integrate telework into their workplace programs and plans. But as 2012 picks up speed, agencies' focuses are shifting to augmenting the technologies used to link the virtual and physical work environments, and improve the ability for all of their employees to collaborate, regardless of their location, writes Federal Computer Week's Camille Tuutti.
While laptops and smart phones have become the norm, agencies are looking forward to what the virtual worker will need to do his or her job remotely and do it well, the article said.
Related coverage:
Want a paperless office? Let people work remotely.
"One of the things we have to work on is technology," said Pat Tamburrino, deputy assistant secretary for civilian personnel policy at the Defense Department. "Laptops are good, but I'm personally wondering what's beyond laptops. What other things should I be thinking about for the DOD employee to make telework and telepresence much simpler? I'd love the CIOs and the [chief technology officers] to say, 'What's the next breakthrough thing we would have to do?'"
Most likely, the next big "breakthrough" will be the advancement of mobile applications, which could even result in a virtual mobile apps store for feds in 2012, Tuutti writes.
Access to meetings and events onsite could also be easier with virtual conferences and conference calls.
Overall, the ability to telework is transforming the productivity of the federal workforce.

Article Summary: This article contains information regarding "Why my new Dell computer doesn't have a Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity (COA) label".
Microsoft has changed the licensing process for Windows 8. There are no Certificate of Authenticity (COA) labels attached to the chassis because Windows 8 / Windows 10 does not use the same activation process as previous versions of Windows. For Windows 8 / Windows 10, the Product Key is "injected" onto the computer motherboard at the factory, and the installation and activation processes refer to the BIOS of the computer to verify authenticity and activate Windows.
You can also refer to this Dell article: Where is my Windows 8 Product Key, and How Can I Tell That My Windows 8 Installation Is Genuine?
Systems that shipped with the Windows 7 Professional downgrade, (The downgrade is available on Dell Latitude, OptiPlex and Precision Workstation models), the Windows 8 license is Microsoft's authorization to install Windows 7 Professional. Since Windows 8 / Windows 10 has no COA, no COA label is attached to the system.
For systems that shipped with the downgrade option, the Windows 8 / Windows 10 license is Microsoft's authorization to install Windows 7 Professional. Since Windows 8 / Windows 10has no COA, no COA label is attached to the system. Windows 7 Certificates of Authenticity are not available on these systems.
If a system is not Windows 7 certified, it also lacks the BIOS microcode to activate Windows 7. Windows 7 drivers for all system components on these models may not be available.If Windows 7 is supported on the system the key will be injected in the BIOS.

Good Police Work Nets Bad Guys, Assault Rifle
November 19th, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
On Wednesday, November 13, 2012, at 2:45 a.m. District 3 Officers Andrew Kempen and Thomas Delaney responded to N. 16th St / W. North Ave for a report of shots fired. While enroute, the victim parked at 1940 W. North Ave. and flagged down the squad regarding the shots fired. The officers saw a single bullet hole on the outside of the front driver side door of the victim's vehicle.
Meanwhile, District 3 Officers Matthew Mengel, Thomas Ackley and Matthew Van Drisse responded to a shots fired complaint in the area of N. 18th St./W. North Ave.
The officers saw two subjects walking westbound in the 2200 block of W. Meinecke Ave, and then ran when they saw the officers. Both were arrested and taken into custody. An AK-47 and a magazine for the AK-47 were located under the vehicle where the two suspects were arrested. The two admitted to involvement in the incident.
Another great example of how officers are in the right place at the right time night after night in Milwaukee!


text: For about 67 minutes, the Raiders were either tied or had the lead against Heritage Christian on Thursday, but two quick goals in the second half gave HCA the 2-1 win. Immaculata led 1-0 after sophomore Mark Hernandez scored with five minutes left in the first half, but HCA put in two goals with 13 minutes left in the game. Head coach Frank Mazeitis said he had to put in a couple of substitutes because of injuries before the two goals were scored. "That's right where they went through," Mazeitis said. "The subs we put in." The second goal snuck into the lower left corner just past the goalkeeper's hands. HCA's offense put pressure on the Raiders most of the game, but the defense and senior goalkeeper Phillip Hernandez was able to hold them off most of the game. Hernandez ended up with 19 saves, including grabbing a couple of HCA corner kicks early in the second half. Mazeitis said his defensive players are the reason for their 5-2-1 record. "Nathan (Reardon) and Jaxon (Qualley) have just stepped up tremendously," he said. "They have just matured and grown and the will to win in these kids is there." Mazeitis went on to say HCA is probably the best team they will play all season. "We can match up with anybody in this area," he said. "I didn't say we would win all the time, but we will match up against anybody." HCA controlled the ball most of the game, but the Raiders did have some chances at the goal. Senior James Cha's shot went wide right a minute after Hernandez's goal in the first half. Sophomore Dawson Schroeder had a shot at the goal early in the second half, but it went wide left. The Raiders will host KC East Christian at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.

The Story Behind the Stories

Playing in the eastern regional championship for the fourth straight year sure hasn�t gotten old for the Havelock Rams.
Playing in the eastern regional championship for the fourth straight year sure hasn�t gotten old for the Havelock Rams.
"They�re excited," Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant said of his players. "They know that making it this far in the playoffs is a blessing. Every team in the state doesn�t get the chance to do that. Right now there are only 16 football teams in the state practicing. We�re one of the 16, so we feel very blessed and we�re excited for the opportunity to play a good Orange football team."
The Rams (13-1) take on Orange (11-2) for the eastern 3A title at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Havelock High.
Bryant said Orange has a balanced offense with big-play potential and a very good defense with a lot of size.
"They�re big all the way around," Bryant said. "They�ve got a big football team, so it�s going to be a real challenge for us. This is the best team we�ve played by far in the playoffs."
The Panthers give up just 10 points per game and have recorded three shutouts this season. Last week, Orange came up with four turnovers and shut down explosive Eastern Alamance 14-13 to advance to Friday�s title game.
"They�ve been averaging in the playoffs getting about four or five turnovers a game," Bryant said. "They do really well at getting you to turn the ball over, so we�re going to have to be careful with the football, wrap it up and not throw interceptions."
The Rams average 48 points per game behind Derrell Scott, the school�s all-time leading rusher, who has 1,475 yards and 30 touchdowns on the ground this season. Quarterback Pharoh Cooper has thrown for 2,571 yards and 20 touchdowns with just six interceptions. But he�s also gained 1,081 yards rushing with 13 TDs.
Meanwhile, the Ram defense has posted two shutouts in the playoffs and came up with three turnovers in last week�s 57-7 victory over Washington, which managed just 86 total yards.
"Our defense is playing great," Bryant said. "It makes the offensive play-calling a lot easier when you�re giving up less than three points per game in the playoffs."
Orange counters with three-year starter Sean Motley at quarterback, and big-play potential with backs Jalen Pittman and Patrick Pettiford, both of whom have rushed for more than 1,000 yards this season. Last week against Eastern Alamance, the Panthers totaled 214 yards, 79 of which came on the ground.
"The quarterback�s 6-foot, 210, and he�s a tough runner and has a really strong arm," Bryant said. "They like to throw it down the field. Their quarterback has a big arm. He can throw it a long ways. He�s a very accurate down-the-field passer, and they have two backs that can take it to the house at any time."
Bryant said the Rams shouldn�t have to make major defensive changes.
"We�ll make a couple of little adjustments, but we�ll run several different fronts like we do against other teams," he said. "We�ll run our base defense with a few change-ups thrown in."
The Rams beat Cleveland 64-7 in last year�s eastern regional championship game � on the way to the state title � but lost to Eastern Alamance in 2009 and 2010.
"For four years in a row, we�ve got to play the eastern finals in Havelock," Bryant said. "That�s what I told the guys, that this would be their senior night, the eastern finals every year, that their final game on their home field would be the eastern finals every year. That�s our goal."
The winner advances to the state championship game at 3 p.m. on Dec. 1 at Wake Forest to play the winner of the western championship, either Concord or Freedom.

The Dispatch and the Ohio Innocence Project reviewed the 313 cases in which an Ohio inmate sought DNA testing and identified the 30 best prospects. The Dispatch researched each applicant's prior felony convictions but likely missed some; state laws prevent the newspaper from ordering an official, comprehensive criminal background check. David Wayne Allen
Born: Nov. 16, 1958
Charges: murder, robbery
County: Cuyahoga
Convicted: July 10, 1991
Sentence: death
Summary: When an 84-year-old woman was found stabbed to death in her Bedford home on Jan. 25, 1991, attention quickly turned to ex-cons whom she had befriended as part of a prison ministry program. One of them, Allen, had kept up a friendship with her after being paroled in 1989.
Available DNA evidence: bloody gloves left at the scene, Allen's blood-spotted jacket
Rationale for testing: Inconclusive DNA testing of the gloves in July 2007 didn't use the latest available methods. Also, the testing showed that a spot of blood on Allen's jacket is not the victim's, as the jury was told.
Prior convictions: sexual battery, arson, petty theftChanan Aqu-Simmons (aka Adeeb Wakil)
Born: Feb. 1, 1977
Charges: murder, robbery
County: Cuyahoga
Convicted: Nov. 8, 1995
Sentence: 15 years to life
Summary: The owner of a convenience store was found Aug. 2, 1995, facedown on the storage room floor, shot three times in the head and neck. East Cleveland police quickly arrested Aqu-Simmons, who owned a small incense shop nearby and worshipped with the victim at a local mosque. Witnesses testified that the two had argued about Aqu-Simmons' unpaid store credit, and that Aqu-Simmons had discussed robbing him.
Available DNA evidence: material from under victim's fingernails
Rationale for testing: There were other suspects, and fingerprints and footprints at the scene didn't match Aqu-Simmons' or the victim's.
Prior convictions: noneDavid Ayers
Born: Feb. 2, 1957
Charge: aggravated murder
County: Cuyahoga
Convicted: Oct. 15, 2000
Sentence: 40 years to life
Summary: Ayers was convicted of killing a 76-year-old woman. He worked as a security officer for an apartment complex in Cleveland where he and the victim lived. The woman suffered a fractured skull and other injuries during an attack that began as a robbery on Dec. 17, 1999. Ayers knew the victim well, having helped her several times when she had fallen.
Available DNA evidence: hairs (found in the victim's mouth) and material under the victim's fingernails
Rationale for testing: absence of physical evidence linking Ayers to the crime scene and potentially unreliable inmate testimony
Prior convictions: noneJoseph Bennett
Born: Nov. 10, 1973
Charge: murder
County: Ashtabula
Convicted: March 13, 2002
Sentence: 15 years to life
Summary: Bennett was convicted of killing a 26-year-old man, whom police found with multiple stab wounds lying barefoot in a street. Bennett was convicted largely on the testimony of his ex-wife at the time, who said she saw the men fighting on June 9, 2001, outside her Conneaut home. Bennett says his ex-wife pinned the murder on him because they were having marital problems, including a custody battle for their daughter. He says he was watching television with his parents at the time of the killing.
Available DNA evidence: material under the victim's fingernails
Rationale for testing: possibly faulty witness testimony
Prior convictions: noneRobert Blackburn
Born: March 19, 1964
Charge: rape
County: Fairfield
Convicted: Jan. 29, 1993
Sentence: 10 to 25 years
(paroled Sept. 1, 2005)
Summary: Blackburn was charged with sexually assaulting an 8-year-old Lancaster girl on Jan. 22, 1991. Her friend's mother reported seeing a hickey on the girl's neck. A doctor who examined her testified that he didn't see one, but the girl recounted numerous sexual assaults by Blackburn.
Available DNA evidence: the girl's semen-stained underwear, which wasn't suitable for DNA testing at the time but might be now using the latest techniques
Rationale for testing: The underwear was presented to the jury as evidence of Blackburn's guilt, which could be proved or disproved by DNA.
Prior convictions: assaultMelvin Bonnell
Born: Sept. 23, 1957
Charges: murder, burglary
County: Cuyahoga
Convicted: March 22, 1988
Sentence: death
Summary: When a Cleveland man answered a knock at the door, he was led back inside at gunpoint, shot twice and repeatedly pummeled. The victim's two roommates saw the attack on Nov. 28, 1987, and called police. That night, Bonnell was arrested for drunken driving and fleeing police, and later was charged with the murder.
Available DNA evidence: blood and vomit from the scene, swabs from Bonnell's hands, the murder weapon. The prosecutor, however, says the evidence is gone but hasn't provided details.
Rationale for testing: Unbeknownst to Bonnell's lawyer, the victim's roommates originally described the attacker as a stranger even though both knew Bonnell. They later testified against Bonnell, with one avoiding jail time as part of a plea bargain, not revealed at trial, for an unrelated violent assault.
Prior convictions: robbery, abduction, carrying a concealed weaponEric Brunner
Born: Feb. 24, 1971
Charge: rape
County: Stark
Convicted: June 4, 1996
Sentence: 14 to 40 years
Summary: Brunner was convicted of sexually assaulting two women in Canton after they fell asleep on Jan. 14, 1996. Both testified that Brunner was in the apartment before they fell asleep. They also testified that it was too dark to identify or see any facial features of their attacker. In 2005, DNA testing was attempted on semen samples collected from one of the victims, but they were insufficient.
Available DNA evidence: rape kit
Rationale for testing: The victims couldn't identify their attacker, and a more sensitive type of testing could yield conclusive results.
Prior conviction: drug abuseRobert J. Caulley
Born: Oct. 26, 1964
Charge: murder
County: Franklin
Convicted: Oct. 17, 1997
Sentence: 25 years to life
Summary: Caulley reported finding his parents stabbed and bludgeoned -- killed, apparently, after interrupting a burglary at their Grove City home on Jan. 16, 1994. Three years later, detectives for the first time questioned the aeronautical engineer as a suspect. He repeatedly asked for an attorney but instead was put on the phone with an assistant prosecutor, who suggested that he cooperate. After 12 hours of interrogation that wasn't recorded, Caulley agreed to make an "off-the-record" statement -- which was secretly taped -- admitting that he killed his parents and staged the burglary.
Available DNA evidence: DNA testing of evidence in August 2007 was inconclusive, but numerous pieces remain, including another suspect's shirt with red spots, possibly blood.
Rationale for testing: disputed confession, two other suspects and a lie-detector test supporting claims by his then-wife that she was watching TV with Caulley at the time of the murder
Prior convictions: noneRex Clinger
Born: Sept. 11, 1965
Charge: murder
County: Seneca
Convicted: Nov. 16, 1993
Sentence: 15 years to life
Summary: Clinger was convicted of killing his girlfriend in her apartment. A couple living on the other side of the duplex in Tiffin testified that they heard a loud thud on April 23, 1993, followed by whimpering cries and mumbled words. The couple looked out a window and saw two cars: Clinger's and the victim's. Her parents found her body the next day in an upstairs closet.
Available DNA evidence: samples from a rape kit, cigarette butts, fingernails, hair, sheets and the victim's clothes
Rationale for testing: The trial included potentially unreliable inmate testimony. Also, less precise scientific testing of some evidence, including hair, didn't match Clinger -- information not presented to the jury.
Prior convictions: noneAnthony Constant
Born: July 29, 1959
Charges: rape, robbery, kidnapping
County: Lake
Convicted: Aug 30, 1986
Sentence: 10 to 25 years (paroled June 6, 2007)
Summary: A 19-year-old convenience store clerk was kidnapped and sexually assaulted on April 30, 1986, by a man who had robbed the Madison Township store. The victim, who was still naked, walked a quarter of a mile to a truck stop for help. Within a few days, local police targeted Constant based on a composite drawing. Constant says he was in Indiana on his way to visit his father in South Dakota.
Available DNA evidence: rape kit, hairs and clothing. Prosecutors say all but one swab has been destroyed; it's unknown whether the swab contains material for a DNA test.
Rationale for testing: possibly faulty eyewitness identification and lack of physical evidence linking Constant to the crime
Prior convictions: grand theft, burglary, arson, breaking and entering, forgeryCedric Crawford
Born: July 7, 1960
Charge: rape
County: Cuyahoga
Convicted: Aug. 30, 1991
Sentence: life in prison
Summary: Crawford was convicted of raping a 9-year-old Bedford girl on March 8, 1991. The girl said Crawford waited until her mother was away, entered her room and raped her. Fearing that Crawford would hurt her, the girl pretended to be asleep. She eventually told her mother of the rape, and said Crawford also had assaulted her a week earlier. He was acquitted of the earlier assault but found guilty on all other charges.
Available DNA evidence: samples from a rape kit
Rationale for testing: A court approved DNA testing in June 2005, but it has never been done.
Prior convictions: noneLeRoy Davis
Born: March 29, 1952
Charges: rape, aggravated robbery
County: Cuyahoga
Convicted: Aug. 10, 1979
Sentence: 17 to 75 years
Summary: A man slipped into the Rocky River apartment of a woman who was home alone sleeping, and put a knife to her throat and a pillowcase over her head. It was March 3, 1979. He raped her for the next hour. She never saw her attacker's face but recognized the voice as that of her friend and neighbor of three months, LeRoy Davis.
Available DNA evidence: semen-stained bedsheet, victim's clothes, cloth used to tie victim's wrists
Rationale for testing: A judge granted testing in July 2005, but it hasn't been done.
Prior convictions: rape, felonious assault, unarmed robberyChris Dillon
Born: June 1, 1959
Charges: rape, kidnapping, aggravated robbery
County: Montgomery
Convicted: Aug. 8, 1986
Sentence: 10 to 50 years (paroled Feb. 6, 2007)
Summary: A woman was leaving a tanning salon when she was abducted and sexually assaulted. Another woman was attacked and sexually assaulted in her home. Authorities believed the incidents, which occurred in suburban Dayton in April of 1986, were part of a string of similar attacks in the area. Based mainly on information from a man already charged with sex crimes, police targeted Dillon.
Available DNA evidence: sperm and hair samples. The prosecutor says they're gone but hasn't explained their whereabouts.
Rationale for testing: potentially unreliable inmate testimony and possible misidentification of the attacker
Prior convictions: nonePhillip Gammalo
Born: Feb. 20, 1957
Charges: aggravated murder, attempted rape
County: Cuyahoga
Convicted: Jan. 28, 2000
Sentence: 30 years to life
Summary: Gammalo was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman and strangling her near railroad tracks in Cleveland on July 18, 1998. Tests showed she was highly intoxicated. One witness testified that she saw Gammalo and the woman together on the night she was attacked. The witness said that she heard the woman tell Gammalo that she did not want to have sex with him.
Available DNA evidence: samples from a rape kit
Rationale for testing: The witness did not come forward for nearly a year after the crime, raising questions about a possible misidentification. Also, a judge granted DNA testing in April 2006 but it hasn't been done.
Prior convictions: burglaryGlen Haynie
Born: April 13, 1960
Charges: aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary
County: Marion
Convicted: August 22, 1986
Sentence: 15 to 25 years
Summary: A woman was robbed of $140, raped and left unconscious Oct. 2, 1985, in an alley, after leaving a Marion bar. She awoke several hours later and notified police, who found Haynie's wallet at the scene. Haynie said he had talked with the woman at the bar, and that he later found her unconscious in the alley. Unable to rouse her, he said, and in his own drunken confusion, he fled. A jury later convicted Haynie of robbery but not rape.
Available DNA evidence: a pubic hair recovered from victim
Rationale for testing: prosecutor, victim and judge agreed to testing in 2004, until realizing the state lab couldn't conduct the appropriate type of test and that the hair would have to be sent to a private lab. The prosecutor recently told The Dispatch that he would consent to testing.
Prior convictions: robbery; also convicted of a subsequent robbery and kidnapping in 2003 after being paroledLarry Jerido
Born: May 26, 1956
Charge: murder
County: Cuyahoga
Convicted: May 14, 1996
Sentence: 15 years to life
Summary: First, his friend went missing, his car torched in a parking lot. Five days later, Jerido called Cleveland police to report a puddle of blood on the friend's kitchen floor. Police arrived, found the man's body in the freezer and charged Jerido with murder. Prosecutors said Jerido strangled the man on Jan. 18, 1996, stole his TV and staged everything else to divert suspicion from himself.
Available DNA evidence: blood, fingernail scrapings and clothing from the victim
Rationale for testing: another suspect, lack of a clear motive and lack of physical evidence linking Jerido to the crime scene
Prior convictions: aggravated robbery, drug abuseDewey Jones
Born: Feb. 14, 1962
Charge: aggravated murder
County: Summit
Convicted: March 3, 1995
Sentence: 30 years to life
Summary: Jones was convicted of robbing and killing a 71-year-old Akron man in his home. He was shot twice in the head on Feb. 13, 1993. Jones and the victim had known each other for several years. Neighbors testified that they saw Jones leaving the victim's home the day before his body was found. However, two witnesses looking through police photos originally identified someone else.
Available DNA evidence: blood, cigarette butts, hair and material under the victim's fingernails
Rationale for testing: possibly faulty witness identification, use of inmate testimony and lack of testing of ample evidence
Prior convictions: drug trafficking, passing bad checksCarlton Manning
Born: Sept. 28, 1968
Charge: rape
County: Lucas
Convicted: Aug. 25, 1992
Sentence: 28 to 65 years
Summary: A woman and her 7-year-old daughter were awakened in their apartment by an intruder with a baseball bat on April 27, 1992. He bound the Toledo woman's wrists with her underwear and raped her, and then fondled her daughter until driven away by the girl's screams. Eight days later, the woman picked Manning from a lineup. Manning requested DNA testing at trial, but it was deemed too expensive. A decade later, he was denied testing because a detective said he had thrown out the evidence almost immediately after trial. Recently, the Ohio Innocence Project and the newspaper helped discover evidence. The prosecutor told The Dispatch she would consent to testing.
Rationale for testing: possible eyewitness misidentification
Available DNA evidence: rape kit, victim's underwear
Prior convictions: theftRobert McClendon
Born: Sept. 8, 1958
Charges: rape, kidnapping
County: Franklin
Convicted: Aug. 27, 1991
Sentence: 15 years to life
Summary: McClendon was convicted of raping a 10-year-old girl, allegedly telling her he was her father. Prosecutors said she believed him because he looked like a man in some of her mother's photos. The defense agreed that the girl was raped in April 1990 but insisted that McClendon did not attack her.
Available DNA evidence: samples from a
rape kit
Rationale for testing: possibly faulty witness identification
Prior convictions: robbery, corruption of a minor, receiving stolen propertyRay Montgomery
Born: Oct. 15, 1949
Charges: aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, attempted rape
County: Cuyahoga
Convicted: June 6, 1985
Sentence: 33 years to life
Summary: Montgomery was convicted of robbing, attempting to rape and killing a Cleveland woman in her apartment. She was beaten and shot twice in the back on April 22, 1984. She told neighbors she had been attacked by a black man wearing a dark trench coat. She died four hours later. Neighbors told police they saw a black man with a beard leaving the apartment shortly after the attack, carrying a bag and wearing a trench coat and glasses. The victim gave a similar description to an emergency medical technician.
Available DNA evidence: bedding and clothing
Rationale for testing: possibly faulty witness identification, a hung jury in the first trial and pressure from a judge during the second trial to reach a verdict
Prior convictions: noneDouglas Prade
Born: March 31, 1946
Charge: murder
County: Summit
Convicted: Sept. 23, 1998
Sentence: 20 years to life
Summary: Prade was convicted of killing his ex-wife. She was a prominent doctor, and he was a captain in the Akron Police Department. She was shot six times after a struggle in her van in a parking lot outside her office on Nov. 26, 1997. An expert testified that a bite mark matched Prade's teeth. Prade argued that a security video showed that the attacker was shorter than the victim's van, while he was several inches taller.
Available DNA evidence: lab coat where bite mark occurred, material from under the victim's fingernails and buttons on the victim's jacket
Rationale for testing: credibility issues of the witness and an expert witness testifying about the bite mark. Police never found the attacker's gun or car.
Prior convictions: noneDavid Purnell
Born: Sept. 10, 1964
Charges: rape, kidnapping
County: Lucas
Convicted: Oct. 28, 1992
Sentence: life in prison
Summary: An intruder entered the home of a Toledo family on April 11, 1991, and took a 5-year-old girl from her bed while her mother slept in an adjacent room. The man took the girl to an abandoned house and raped her. Several weeks later, while riding in a car with her grandfather, the girl saw David Purnell changing a tire on the street. She said he was her attacker, and police later arrested Purnell.
Available DNA evidence: samples from rape kit, blanket and victim's clothing (officials are searching for the missing items)
Rationale for testing: possible witness error
Prior convictions: noneDwight Reynolds
Born: April 30, 1973
Charges: aggravated robbery, felonious assault
County: Montgomery
Convicted: Sept. 26, 2001
Sentence: 18 years
Summary: Reynolds was convicted of attacking a woman in her car outside a dentist's office on Oct. 10, 2000. The woman kicked the attacker, grabbed his knife by the blade and escaped. She ran into the office, her hand bleeding. A man ran outside and saw the attacker fleeing. Dayton police recovered the knife. Eight months later, they found the victim's purse and the attacker's hooded sweat shirt at the base of a telephone pole
Available DNA evidence: knife, sweat shirt
Rationale for testing: The victim and a witness initially gave descriptions of the attacker that didn't match Reynolds. Reynolds didn't file for testing under the old DNA law.
Prior convictions: noneMarion Reynolds
Born: March 8, 1962
Charges: aggravated murder, rape
County: Cuyahoga
Convicted: Nov. 18, 1985
Sentence: 40 years to life
Summary: Reynolds was convicted of robbing, raping and killing a woman. She was beaten with a brick as she walked home from a Cleveland restaurant on April 6, 1984. Reynolds' girlfriend said she knew about the murder the night it occurred but was afraid he would harm her if she told anyone. After a police officer broke up an argument between her and Reynolds outside a bar nearly a year later, she told the officer.
Available DNA evidence: samples from a rape kit and hair
Rationale for testing: He was convicted primarily on testimony from his girlfriend, who didn't come forward until 10 months after the crime.
Prior convictions: noneRay Smith
Born: Nov. 5, 1960
Charge: aggravated murder
County: Lorain
Convicted: June 10, 1999
Sentence: life in prison
Summary: Smith, a grill cook, was convicted of killing a female co-worker at a Friendly's restaurant in Elyria. Smith and the woman, a supervisor, were alone in the restaurant after 11:30 p.m. The next day, Dec. 24, 1997, police discovered her body in the trunk of her car in a hospital parking lot. Tests showed that she had suffocated. At the restaurant, the door was found ajar and more than $2,800 was missing from the safe.
Available DNA evidence: blood and hair
Rationale for testing: allegedly false confession, lack of physical evidence linking him to the crime scene
Prior convictions: noneArthur Swanson
Born: Nov. 26, 1944
Charges: aggravated burglary, abduction
County: Ashland
Convicted: Sept. 3, 1999
Sentence: 20 years
Summary: Swanson was convicted of robbing an Amish family that sold eggs. On Nov. 25, 1998, the attacker coaxed his way into the family's home, about 15 miles west of Ashland, before grabbing a man around his neck and demanding money. The man's wife gave him a little over $70 before he fled. No one was hurt. A cigarette butt and African-American hair were found at the scene, but neither was tested. After asking the state for a DNA test, Swanson died in prison.
Available DNA evidence: hair, cigarette butt
Rationale for testing: possible witness error
Prior convictions: drug trafficking, forgery, unarmed robbery, breaking and enteringQuarnail Thomas
Born: May 31, 1966
Charges: aggravated murder, rape
County: Montgomery
Convicted: Sept. 25, 1989
Sentence: 40 years to life
Summary: Thomas was convicted of raping and stabbing to death a 19-year-old woman. Neighbors found her on the living-room floor of her Dayton apartment. One witness said Thomas and the woman argued the night before the slaying on Oct. 31, 1988. Another neighbor said he saw Thomas standing outside the victim's apartment a few hours before the attack. A DNA test showed the victim's blood on Thomas's clothing and his semen on the rape kit. Thomas alleges he did not harm the woman and the DNA test was inaccurate.
Available DNA evidence: rape kit samples
Rationale for testing: The test procedure might have produced a false positive.
Prior convictions: noneRay Towler
Born: June 16, 1957
Charges: rape, kidnapping, felonious assault
County: Cuyahoga
Convicted: Sept. 18, 1981
Sentence: life in prison
Summary: Towler was convicted of assaulting a young boy and raping a young girl in Cleveland. The children were coaxed into a wooded area on May 24, 1981, by their attacker. Both victims identified Towler. A witness who saw the children with a man also picked Towler from a lineup. A DNA test was granted, but hair and fingernail scrapings mailed to a lab were missing from the envelope.
Available DNA evidence: underwear, other clothing
Rationale for testing: possibly faulty witness identification; a prior unsuccessful test of underwear could yield results using the latest techniques
Prior convictions: noneClarence Weaver
Born: June 19, 1935
Charge: murder
County: Lorain
Convicted: April 21, 1994
Sentence: 20 years to life
Summary: Weaver called 911 on Nov. 15, 1991, to report finding his wife dead in the bathtub. She had been strangled. Her body was facedown with bruises on her face and vaginal area. A year and a half later, Elyria police arrested Weaver.
Available DNA evidence: rape kit
Rationale for testing: Weaver lost his previous bid for DNA testing because prosecutors claimed the rape kit was gone; the Ohio Innocence Project and the newspaper recently helped locate it.
Prior convictions: noneRandolph Wilkins
Born: April 30, 1959
Charge: rape
County: Summit
Convicted: April 4, 1986
Sentence: 7 to 25 years
Summary: Wilkins was convicted of raping a 17-year-old relative about 1 a.m. on Dec. 19, 1985, after they left an Akron bar.
Available DNA evidence: samples from a rape kit, jeans, pantyhose, napkin
Rationale for testing: DNA testing could definitively settle questions about his guilt.
Prior convictions: After being paroled for this rape, he was convicted of raping an 11-year-old girl. That conviction was thrown out, but Wilkins' parole on the first rape was revoked and he remains in prison.

Time For A Little SDDC Love For Data Protection?
One aspect of SDDC that does not get a lot of attention is Data Protection, instead we are concentrating on SDN and automation. Yet, this leads me to Data Protection. There is a clear marriage between Data Protection and SDDC that needs to be added to any architecture. As with all things, we start with the architecture. Our SDDC architecture should also include data protection, but what data are we really protecting? Within SDDC there are three forms of data: tenant, configuration, and automation. Without one or the other, we may not be able to reload our SDDC during a disaster. What is required to get these three types of data, what really are these types of data? and how can we add data protection into SDDC cleanly?

By Jonathan Fox
River Reporter, November 21, 2012
The Upper Delaware Valley has been an entertainment destination for decades, and having once flirted with Hollywood, the film industry recently returned to the region in the form of "Praise and Blame," a short film shot entirely on location in the Catskills and in the Poconos. In 1912, one of the first silent movies ever made in the U.S., "A Feud in the Kentucky Hills," was filmed in the region. D.W. Griffith brought his troupe of 40 actors to Milford, PA to utilize the local terrain. The troupe stayed at the Sawkill House in Milford and used locations overlooking the Delaware River in Sullivan County, NY and used many local extras.
In an effort to renew interest in movie making in the area, the Pocono Film Commission (PFC) (www.poconofilm.com) attracted the attention of producer Dita Gruze, who arrived two weeks ago with crew at her side, to join forces with co-producer Tibor Feldman of Cochecton, NY. Writer/director Shane Book and leading man Costas Mandylor ("Sex and the City," "The Doors," and several "Saw" movies), along with fellow actors Paul Collins ("The Good Wife" and "Without a Trace"), Bridget McKevitt and Alberto Bonilla ("Law & Order," "All my Children" and "The Sopranos") set up shop with the company and got down to business, quickly transforming the Tusten Theatre in Narrowsburg into a sound stage, filming several scenes with Mandylor.
PFC representative Troy Bystrom was on set at the Tusten Theatre and arranged for an interview with Feldman to speak briefly about how the production came to town. "Once I found myself involved with 'Praise and Blame', it seemed like a natural to have them shoot the movie here, where I've lived for 40 years," he explained, "so I suggested it. The film, which had been in pre-production for more than a year, takes place in and around a university, and the story didn't happen here, but we brought it here. Everyone at the CFC has been incredible and our cast and crew are working around the clock to bring this fabulous script to life."
The plot of the movie revolves around Mandylor's character, Victor, who is an "internationally renowned poet and has just arrived as a special guest of a wealthy university. Having served 15 years in jail for writing poetry critical of the president of his native country, Victor figures his stint in America as visiting writer-in-residence will be an easy gig, but an encounter with a burglar sends him on a surprising journey that forces him to reassess his core beliefs."
Although Mandylor was working in front of the camera non-stop, co-star Bonilla also had a few minutes to chat. "When I first read the script," he shared, "I was struck by the humor, but caught completely unawares by the twist." Winking, Bonilla continued, "No, I will not give it away, but it's safe to say that people will be talking about the surprise ending for years to come. This movie is about many things, including false impressions, the intellectual elite and secrets—deep, dark secrets."
Post production is currently being done in New York City, and when completed, "Praise and Blame" is slated for competition in various independent film festivals where, "if all goes well," it will be picked up for distribution and made into a full- length feature film. For more information on the Pocono Film Commission, visit their web site or call production consultant Bystrom at 646/236-3400..

Park Trails
at Watkins Mill State Park
Equestrian Trail System
- Hiking
- Horseback Riding
Length: 3.5 Miles View map
Trail Rating: Rugged
The Equestrian Trail System travels through an area of oak-hickory woodland on its west side and scattered stands of red cedar on the east side. White connector 1 on the north end follows a ridge on a gentle slope down to a creek. Multiple routes can be taken as the white connector joins the trail at several points to shorten or extend the hike or ride.
A point of interest is the eight-sided Franklin School and the Mt. Vernon Church on the north end of the trail loop. Both of these buildings date back to the early 1870s; they are separated from the equestrian trail by a fence. Feel free to tie up the horses and walk over for a closer look.
Watch for loose rocks and steep slopes over 10 percent when approaching the two creek crossings. Some trail areas may be rutted, particularly on the extreme northwest and northeast sections. Trail conditions will be muddy after moderate rain and snowfall.
The parking lot accommodates eight to 10 horse trailers and has two picnic tables nearby. There is no water; horses may be watered at two creek crossings depending on the season. A vault toilet is located in the parking lot of the nearby group camping area. The trail is open from 8 a.m. to sunset.
Equestrian camping is not available. Please stay on designated trails and do not ride on roads or paved trails. Bicycles are prohibited and state law requires dogs to be leashed. Please pack out your trash and report any down trees or limbs to park staff.
You may experience:
- Natural surface, dirt, mud, gravel, shifting rocks, slippery surface, etc.
- Rocks, roots and/or downed vegetation on trail
- Steep grades and inclines more than 10 percent
- Water/stream crossings without bridges

Paved Bicycle Lake Trail
- Bicycling/Mountain Biking
- Hiking
Length: 3.75 Miles View map
Trail Rating: Easy
The 8-foot-wide Paved Bicycle Lake Trail circles the 100-acre Williams Creek Lake and has six wooden bridges and one metal truss bridge. The trail has a moderate grade as it meanders through an oak-hickory woodland with openings that offers vistas of the lake.
Deer, turkeys and songbirds often can be seen along the trail. In winter, geese and occasionally bald eagles can be seen on the ice or flying over the lake.
A point of interest is the seasonal waterfall in Williams Creek, about 2,000 feet north of the swim beach. A wooden overlook deck provides an opportunity to rest and enjoy the peaceful setting. Park benches are scattered along the trail to serve as rest stops. A .25-mile gravel spur leads to the park's special-use area.
Be alert for some hazards on the bicycle trail. The narrow, wooden bridges are slippery when wet or ice covered, and some are located on blind corners. Reduce bike speed when approaching them, and anticipate pedestrians being in the middle of the path. In some locations, the pavement edge drops off sharply. Watch for moss at trail edges, water seeping across the path and sunken or uneven trail surfaces.
You may experience:
- Slippery conditions and/or downed vegetation
- Bridges and/or structural crossings
- Occasional water over trail

NOTICE: Remove unnecessary files on Network
The Center for Law and Computers provides access to the Network for Chicago-Kent students, faculty, and staff in support of the educational mission of the university. In recent months we have noticed an increase in the amount of personal storage space being consumed on our network. As we continue to maintain and scan the network drives we are noticing numerous occurrences of non-educational types of materials (i.e., MP3, .wav, .mov, .avi). We understand that there are occasions when storing these types of files on the network for educational use is legitimate.
We ask that you purge all unnecessary messages and
files as often as possible from your network and email accounts to help
us preserve space on the C-K server. As a reminder, in Outlook mail,
you must delete messages from your "Deleted Messages" folder
for them to be permanently removed from the mail server. It is also
a good maintenance procedure to delete any unneeded messages in the
"Sent" folder.

Sharks try to push win streak to 6 in clash with Wild
The San Jose Sharks take aim at a sixth straight victory on Wednesday night when they play host to the last team that beat them, the Minnesota Wild.
The Sharks were shut out 2-0 in Minnesota on March 23, but have since outscored their opponents by a 17-7 margin over their longest winning streak since they set a franchise record by winning their first seven games of the season from Jan. 20-31.
San Jose has won the first four of a seven-game homestand and is an excellent 12-1-4 as the host this season. The club stayed hot on Monday by holding off the Vancouver Canucks 3-2.
Andrew Desjardins, Joe Thornton and Logan Couture all scored in a 2:13 span during the second period to put the Sharks up 3-0 and Antti Niemi made it hold up by stopping 23 shots.
"When it gets 3-0, everyone gets kind of comfortable," Thornton said. "We know how quickly it can vanish, but it was nice we held on for the two points."
The two points have the Sharks sixth overall in the Western Conference, but just one point back of the Los Angeles Kings for fifth place.
With Wednesday's trade deadline approaching, the Sharks made forward Ryane Clowe a healthy scratch as his name continued to appear in trade rumors and he was finally dealt on Tuesday to the New York Rangers.
In return, San Jose picked up second- and third-round picks in 2013 and a conditional choice in 2014. It will be a second-round selection if the Rangers win two playoff series or re-sign Clowe, otherwise it is a fifth-rounder.
The 30-year-old has scored 101 goals with 271 points in 423 career games with the Sharks, but has no goals and 11 helpers in 28 games this season.
"Ryane is a tremendously respected player and teammate, and an individual of outstanding character," said San Jose general manager Doug Wilson. "These deals involving players who have spent a substantial amount of time in and contributed much to San Jose are difficult but it's also important for us to get value for a player who is set to be an unrestricted free agent."
The Wild are also an excellent home team, but they'll try to move above .500 on the road (8-8-1) Wednesday night after suffering a 4-1 defeat to the visiting St. Louis Blues on Monday.
Dany Heatley scored the lone goal for the Wild, who were outshot 12-5 in the first period and remained tied with the Vancouver Canucks atop the Northwest Division with 44 points. Minnesota does have a game in hand.
"I think this game gives us a reminder of what we need to do to be successful," said Minnesota head coach Mike Yeo. "That's basically it in a nutshell. Unfortunately we couldn't buy a goal there when we made a push late in the game, but we didn't come out good and that's what happens."
Niklas Backstrom turned aside 20-of-24 shots and had a personal eight-decision win streak snapped for Minnesota, which lost for only the second time in its last 10 games.
Not only did the Wild lose the game, but center Matt Cullen suffered a lower body injury on Monday that will sideline him for at least the next two games.
Backstrom made 33 saves in the shutout win over the Sharks on March 23, while Zach Parise and Jared Spurgeon scored once each. It was Minnesota's fourth straight win over San Jose.
Antti Niemi allowed both goals on 24 shots for the Sharks, who have won five of six and nine of their past 11 at home against the Wild.

Mark Cuban might have cost Mavericks shot at Deron Williams
Mark Cuban was too busy filming a reality show to meet with one of the five best point guards in the NBA.
OK, OK — there are commitments and whatnot that need to be factored in here. But Deron Williams told New York reporters that Cuban's absence from his negotiations with the Dallas Mavericks played a role in Williams' decision to stay with the Brooklyn Nets.
From The New York Times:
Asked if Cuban's absence affected his decision, Williams said flatly, "Of course."
Williams added: "A lot of the questions that me and my agent had for them really didn't get answered that day — you know, pertaining to the future. And I think if he was there, he would have been able to answer those questions a little bit better. Maybe would have helped me."
Cuban gets pegged as meddlesome more often than absentee, but he was busy filing reality show Shark Tank when Williams met with his team executives. Shark Tank is about entrepreneurs and start-up businesses, and Cuban was a panelist. At least that's what Wikipedia tells us.
This twist could serve as a rebuttal for those on the side of Nets owner Mikhail Prokohov in his running feud with Cuban. Most recently, there was this weird Nets.com thing for which no one is quite sure who was responsible.
Considered the best free agent available, Williams narrowed his choices to the Mavericks and Nets this offseason and would have filled a major void for Dallas. He averaged 21.0 points and 8.7 assists a game last season.
The Mavericks instead added Darren Collison to replace Jason Kidd at point guard. Collison's fine. Really, he's fine. He averaged 10.4 points and 4.8 assists a game for the resurgent Indiana Pacers last season. He can shoot, and he's fast, and he's smart.
But he's not Deron Williams.

Megafu was recognized by the Association of Division III Independents (AD3I) as its Student-Athlete of the Month for November after leading the St. Joseph's College men's basketball team in scoring and rebounding during the month.
Megafu put up averages of 15.0 points per game and 8.8 boards per game. Last year's AD3I Rookie of the Year picked up where he left off last season scoring in double figures in all five games for St. Joseph's.
Megafu finished the month shooting an efficient 54.7 percent from the floor, dishing out 1.4 assists per game, coming up with 1.8 steals per game and swatting away 2.4 shots per game to fill out the stat sheet.
The sophomore takes home Student-Athlete of the Month honors for the second time in his career having earned Student-Athlete of the Month in December of 2012.
And for his outstanding efforts on the hardwood in helping lead the St. Joseph's basketball to a victory over NYU-Poly, junior David Louison (Brooklyn/St. Edmund Prep) was named the Association of Division III Independents (AD3I) and Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (HVIAC) men's basketball Player of the Week.
Louison, St. Joseph's leading scorer on the year, recorded his fourth double-double of the season in a 79-54 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday. The junior finished with 17 points on 5-of-10 (50 percent) shooting from the floor while securing 11 rebounds.
Louison is now averaging 14.1 points per game and is second on the team corralling 8.7 boards per night.
And last but not least, senior Kelly McNamee (Glendale/Mary Louis) was named to the Association of Division III Independents (AD3I) inaugural All-Independent Women's Tennis Team after helping lead St. Joseph's College to a third place finish in the Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships (HVIAC), their highest finish since 2009.
The senior spent the season splitting time between the No. 1 and No. 2 singles positions. She picked up her first singles win of the year at Lehman College earning the Lady Bears lone win of the match at No. 2 singles.
McNamee was also an AD3I All-Independent and HVIAC All-Conference selection in cross country and has been a threat on the hardwood this season as well, leading the St. Joseph's women's basketball team with 13.7 points per game.

Some of the best typical Tuscan restaurants of the city are in the historical centre of Florence. To have a more romantic dinner, first visit "Ponte Vecchio", which has shades of blue, green and pink illuminations at night, a spectacular landscape. With the glittering Arno and the antique Florentine bridges in front of you, will be sure to spend an unforgettable evening.
To appreciate the beautiful landscapes of the Cradle of the Renaissance from the highest points of Florence, you can choose among:
Fiesole – In the summer months it's ideal to dine outdoors, what's better than going up to Fiesole. Excellent restaurants and "pizzeria" are found in the main square and along the streets of Fiesole. After dinner a stroll around the ancient village, and a walk up to Piazza San Francesco, what's better than sitting on the stone benches and admiring the illuminations of Florence in all their splendour.
Monte Morello – Not far from Florence, you will suddenly find yourself surrounded by an inspiring mountain landscape. Along the road that leads to the top of Monte Morello, there are many restaurants, some surrounded by oak trees and silver firs, others opening onto breathtaking views of Florence, surrounded by the night.

CRESTVIEW � It was a fast and furious May for Crestview High School�s football team under new head coach Tim Hatten�s direction. Hatten ditched former coach Kevin Pettis� power running game and installed a spread offense.
Editor�s Note: With the end of spring football practice, focus turns to the fall, but how does first-year Crestview High School coach Tim Hatten assess his team?
Today, in the first of a two-part series, we will focus on Crestview�s offense. We will break down the defense in Saturday�s edition.
Next week, Baker School coach Matt Brunson will break down the Gators.
CRESTVIEW � It was a fast and furious May for Crestview High School�s football team under new head coach Tim Hatten�s direction.
Hatten ditched former coach Kevin Pettis� power running game and installed a spread offense.
"I thought we had a really good productive spring and it's a good way to lead into summer workouts," Hatten said. "You always want to leave spring feeling like you progressed from day one. And we have progressed light years from day one.
"Any time you play a game and you have fans in the stadium, you like to score more points than the other team, but if you are going to be on the wrong side (of the final score) it needs to be in a jamboree or Kickoff Classic."
Hatten said the spring jamboree against Escambia High School and Navarre was a learning tool.
"That was our first time against high school defenses in this area to see what they are running and the adjustments that they will make," he said. "You've got to learn a lot as coaches and players. You have to look at the way they try to defend different formations."
Hatten said most of the Bulldog completions in the jamboree came on short passes, and he hopes to throw it downfield more in the fall.
Here's a breakdown of the offensive positions and some of the players expected to man the positions.
Khalil Foster � who emerged from spring practice as the first string quarterback � is the guy to beat heading into the fall.
"He did a good job for us," Hatten said. "You figure you've got a kid that has never started for you at quarterback and the first game he went 28-for-37 for 300 yards, no picks (interceptions), no turnovers and that's a plus.
"There's a lot of fundamental improvement to be made. He's a great athlete and a good receiver. He's probably going be offered at receiver (to play college ball), but he's got to play quarterback for us."
Foster handled the pressure well in his first game as the starting quarterback, and should only improve with more experience, Hatten said.
Foster is joined at quarterback by Troy Smith and Corey Armstrong. Armstrong missed spring practice with what Hatten described as a slight knee problem, but he'll have a chance to battle for the starting job in the fall.
"He's going to come in at quarterback and he's going to compete," Hatten said. "He's going to play other positions on offense too.
"I think Corey is going to come in there and provide us with an adequate backup. I can't say that he's not going to come in there and beat him (Foster) out. He may beat him out, but Khalil Foster will be on the field somewhere."
Alex Maxwell will probably be the junior varsity quarterback.
Running back
Emmanuel Reed and Jaylynne Robinson are the top two running backs, but there are plenty of good players to help out at the position, Hatten said.
"We have to get the ball in Emmanuel's hands by whatever means necessary," Hatten said. "I think that's (nine catches in the jamboree) the most balls he has caught in a game by any means.
"Jaylynne, he's a project, in terms of never playing offense before, but he still had a great night on the offensive side of the ball. Jaylynne's problem is it took him about a half to buy into, 'This is the way we are going to do things.' He figured that out in the second half."
Darian McGee, Cyrus Daniels, Malique Studevan and Demtrius Smith are the other running backs.
�We've got about six guys that can carry the ball; of the six guys, two of them will be seniors: Jaylynne and Demetrius," Hatten said. "All of them are good players.
"Emmauel's just going to be a junior and Stud (Studevan) is just going to be a sophomore. They are a really good bunch."
Offensive line
"I thought they did a good job," Hatten said. "They are still learning just like the rest of us. We have to shore up some things in our pass protection, and that comes with repetitions.
"I thought we handled the blitz really well in the jamboree."
About eight players will be in the mix along the front. He said Rocky Longman, Chance Owens, Spencer Singletary, Nathan Gerrod, Trevor Vaughn and Justin Abdo are among those players.
The offensive linemen�s average size is about 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, Hatten said.
"We are not big enough to be bulldozers, he said. "We are a zone blocking team, and that's what we are going to be."
Wide receiver
Perhaps the spring�s biggest surprise was the play of Ronnie Baylark.
Baylark, a three-year starter on the Crestview basketball team, turned heads with his play-making ability at receiver and impressed Hatten with his toughness and willingness to work.
"Ronnie Baylark will be a great wide receiver," Hatten said. "Ronnie, of all people, is going to hang out with you and he's not going to think about quitting. Ronnie hasn't missed a practice.
"He doesn't know a lot about the position of wide receiver, but he does know how to use his body like in basketball. Once the ball is in the air all it's time for him to be is an athlete. That part of it is basketball because when the ball goes up, those guys (basketball players) know how to use their bodies to get to the ball."
Other receivers are Matt Gillis, Jamal Coleman, Devin Siler, Studevan and Daniels. Hatten said all of the running backs will line up in the backfield as some sort of slot receiver so Robinson, Reed and the other running backs also can be considered receivers depending on the formation.
Gillis is the kind of player who is often overlooked, Hatten said.
"Matt Gillis is a solid little kid, a solid little player," he said. "He's going to block and he's going to be where he's supposed to be. There's nothing more important for a quarterback than being where you are supposed to be.
"Most quarterbacks find comfort with guys like that."
Tight end
Hatten's spread offense probably won't use the tight end a lot, but when it does, Lucas Lee will be the go-to guy.
"We got to use him a little more effectively and run behind him," Hatten said. "With him, you should just get the linebacker to come up on the play action, pass and get the ball to him because of his size (6-foot-7)."

In response to scores of requests for training, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers group in Kampala, Uganda, has begun delivering seminars to residents along the eastern border of their country.
Ever since flooding and deadly mudslides hit the area in March of this year—heightening the hardship and poverty of this region's people—Eastern Uganda's local leaders have been hard-pressed to find a way to restore hope. But after reading about Volunteer Minister successes on the internet, leaders in the Bududa area eagerly e-mailed the Volunteer Ministers' international headquarters requesting seminars and training.
VMs from Uganda's capital, Kampala, were promptly mobilized to travel the more than 100 miles to Bududa, near Mount Elgon at Kenya's border. The group faced heavy rains as they traversed miles of dirt roads. Towards the end of their journey they were warned that the daily downpours would cause the mudslides they had traveled to subdue.
On their arrival in Bududa, one of the VMs familiar with the region's villages introduced the group to its leaders. The chairman of the local governing council welcomed the volunteers and pledged their security while they were in his area. Word spread quickly that the VMs had arrived and would deliver their much-anticipated seminar. Within a short time, 230 people had arrived.
Pedaiah Teba, the Lead VM for Uganda, had learned some words in the local language, Lumasaba. "I did that so they would know that even though I am from the city of Kampala where we speak a different language, I care about what happens to the people in Bududa," he said. "I offered my condolences for their losses. At the same time, speaking on behalf of the Ugandan VMs and the Volunteer Ministers' international office, we wanted them to know that there is hope and that we want to help them begin to start anew."
Soon after the outdoor seminar began, the skies threatened rain, and a local Catholic priest let the seminar continue inside his church in a welcome gesture. There, the entire crowd practiced assists, techniques developed by L. Ron Hubbard to relieve mental and spiritual duress.
Following the seminar, the VM team, wearing their signature yellow shirts, moved through three temporary camps set up for those who were ill, injured and homeless after the March mudslides. Conditions there had left many sleeping on thin plastic atop the muddy ground. The VMs then decided that one trip to the area would only be the start of their efforts to help these people reconstruct their lives. The people of Bududa and their leaders have communicated that they want more training from the Volunteer Ministers. And as word of the VM technology has spread throughout the area, hundreds more are expected to come for training when those in yellow shirts return to eastern Uganda.

HEYWOOD Prep pupil Imogen Rafferty swam her way into the record books at the Independent Schools Association National Swimming Finals in Coventry.
Representing the Corsham-based school as part of the South West region team, she swam the girls U12s 50m breaststroke in 41.59 seconds, shaving nearly two-and-a- half seconds off the previous national ISA record.
She also clinched gold, silver and bronze medals at the event and qualified for the national finals and said: "I was about third or fourth half way down the length.
"Then towards the end, I looked sideways and couldn't see anyone else.
"As I finished, I could see my parents waving and clapping and I looked up and saw the time, and I realised I'd beaten the record. I felt so shocked. It took a while for it to sink in.''
Rafferty swims with the Bradford on Avon club and also Aquae Sulis at Bath University, and qualified for the national finals along with fellow pupil Dorothy-Rose Mulcahy.

The 31-year-old suffered a thigh injury just weeks after his arrival from Marseille last August which left him sidelined for over four months, and has subsequently been restricted to just two Premier League appearances for the Hammers this season.
Diarra claims he has "wasted his time" following his move to Upton Park and revealed Allardyce never explains his team selection.
"Yes, I want to go. It's breaking point. Today, I want a real challenge and I will not get it at West Ham," Diarra told L'Equipe.
|West Ham are 7/1 with bet365 to beat Arsenal at the Emirates next week
"With the current coach [Allardyce], it is impossible. There's no dialogue, no explanation. I have to go. Some clubs have approached West Ham and I'm not afraid to leave. It will always be better than here. At West Ham, I wasted my time."
Diarra believes he was lured to Upton Park by a string of false promises and claims agents have made money "off his back" in the deal that brought him to the Premier League.
"The West Ham staff speeches was so positive," he added.
"At 31, I wanted to find another league. Marseille needed to reduce their payroll. So the move suited everyone.
"West Ham came to get me. They commissioned an officer who pulled the big game he landed at Marseilles in private jet and promised me the moon. The speech was attractive. It was England, London, West Ham, a club popular with a true identity.
"It was an opportunity to settle in the Premier League. I did not ask. I trusted.
"After a few weeks, I realised that there were a lot of lies. Some have made money on my back."
