A Knights of Columbus council can work wonders; in fact, with its many programs, it can help change the community, town, city or neighborhood in which you live. However, a successful Knights of Columbus program depends on people taking the initial idea, modifying it to suit specific situations and local needs, then implementing the program in the way it works.
Each local council evaluates the needs of their community and implements those programs and activities that are most needed in their area. The Knights of Columbus Service Programs activities are designed to engage the council members in various activities across a host of categories.

For most men who follow Jesus, there comes a time when duty extends beyond our own lives, beyond how we lead our families, and into how we serve our fellow man. That's what the Knights of Columbus is all about. The Patriotic Degree allows knights to take this one step further. "Sir Knight" is more than a title. It's an honor.
Founded on August 4, 1925 with the institution of Duluth Circle 1 in Duluth, MN, the Columbian Squires program strives to provide "the spiritual, cultural, civic, social and physical improvement of its members, and the development of their leadership qualities,"

Although it is established that infection with GB virus C (GBV-C) or hepatitis G virus (HGV) can be transmitted parenterally, the prevalence of GBV-C/HGV viremia in the general population (2-5%) is relatively high compared with other parenterally borne viruses such as hepatitis C virus. To investigate the possibility of sexual transmission of GBV-C/HGV, we determined the frequency of viremia by the polymerase chain reaction and serological reactivity to the E2 protein by ELISA in samples collected from individuals at risk for sexually transmitted diseases attending a city genitourinary medicine clinic. GBV-C/HGV viremia was detected in 27 of 87 male homosexuals (31%) and 9 of 50 prostitutes (18%), frequencies significantly greater than those in matched controls (2/63) and local blood donors (2.3%). Among nonviremic individuals, a high frequency of serological reactivity to the E2 protein of GBV-C/HGV was also observed in the risk groups (male homosexuals: 14/60; prostitutes: 11/41), although these figures are likely to be underestimates of the frequency of past infection as detectable anti-E2 reactivity may attenuate rapidly over time following resolution of infection. Infection with GBV-C/HGV was more frequent among those coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1. Among male homosexuals from whom retrospective samples were available, evidence for de novo infection was found in 9 of 22 individuals over a mean sampling time of 2.9 years, predicting an annualized incidence of GBV-C/HGV infection of approximately 11% in this group. The high prevalence and incidence of GBV-C/HGV infection in these individuals and prostitutes provides strong evidence for its spread by sexual contact. Further studies are required to investigate the mechanism of its transmission and the clinical significance of acute and persistent infection in these risk groups.
The long-term evolution of the hepatitis C virus hypervariable region (HVR) and flanking regions of the E1 and E2 envelope proteins have been studied in a cohort of women infected from a common source of anti-D immunoglobulin. Whereas virus sequences in the infectious source were relatively homogeneous, distinct HVR variants were observed in each anti-D recipient, indicating that this region can evolve in multiple directions from the same point. Where HVR variants with dissimilar sequences were present in a single individual, the frequency of synonymous substitution in the flanking regions suggested that the lineages diverged more than a decade previously. Even where a single major HVR variant was present in an infected individual, this lineage was usually several years old. Multiple lineages can therefore coexist during long periods of chronic infection without replacement. The characteristics of amino acid substitution in the HVR were not consistent with the random accumulation of mutations and imply that amino acid replacement in the HVR was strongly constrained. Another variable region of E2 centered on codon 60 shows similar constraints, while HVR2 was relatively unconstrained. Several of these features are difficult to explain if a neutralizing immune response against the HVR is the only selective force operating on E2. The impact of PCR artifacts such as nucleotide misincorporation and the shuffling of dissimilar templates is discussed.

As the LA Galaxy prepare for the opening of preseason, we know of another player who will not be returning once preseason starts up on Monday—midfielder Dan Keat.
The LA Galaxy Insider has learned that the New Zealand International will not return to the club for 2013 after making just three appearances in all competitions during an injury-riddled 2012 season. Keat fared slightly better in MLS Reserve League play by making five appearances. In his second year in MLS, Keat bounced across the field in search of minutes playing right back, central defense, and defensive midfield before right knee surgery in May caused him to miss nearly five months.
Although Keat struggled with injuries, he admits that he is not surprised that he is moving on from a team that he says will always have a place in his heart.
"I'm not surprised really, it's something that I think that I'm ready to go to a place where I can play, that was a move that I was going to try and make anyway," Keat told the LA Galaxy Insider shortly after the season had ended. It's been a great couple of years here and I really appreciate everything that the Galaxy have done for me. It's bittersweet really, I'm at an age where I need to move on and play, but this place will always have a place in my heart."
Whether Keat remains in MLS remains a question mark as the third overall selection in the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft has made just six appearances over his two year career in the league. Perhaps the best option for Keat could be a switch to the A-League, which would place him closer to his New Zealand national team head coach.
"We'll see what works out, I think more than likely abroad, but it's one of those things, you just see what opportunities come up," said I think success is the intersection between opportunity and hard work so if you can take that and run with it and see what happens."
As the young midfielder searches for a new club though, reaching the 2014 World Cup with New Zealand is most important.
" I think that I've done alright for them recently. It's been kind of a savior for me because I wasn't going to get a chance to play and I knew that games were coming up so it gave me target points to aim for which helped out a lot," said Keat. "I need to be playing at a club regularly so I can get starts for the national team and help us push towards the world cup in 2014."
With Keat gone, the LA Galaxy have five of their seven international spots (Juninho, Marcelo Sarvas, Robbie Keane, Leonardo, and Carlo Cudicini) in use as preseason begins on Monday. LA traded away their eight available spot to Chivas USA ahead of the Stage Two of the 2012 MLS Re-Entry Draft.

Hooksett man sought for alleged assault of 14-year-old girl
August 23. 2013 9:55AM
HOOKSETT – Police are searching for a 51-year-old Hooksett man wanted for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
Carlos A. Bolieiro is charged with three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault.
The alleged sexual assaults were reported on Aug. 5. Officers obtained a warrant for Bolieiro's arrest that same day, but when they went to his residence that night, he was gone.
Investigators seized evidence from his home after obtaining a search warrant for it.
Police said Bolieiro sexually assaulted the teen, who he knows, over a 10-month period.
Investigators believe Bolieiro has fled the area and may be attempting to leave the country.
The U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. State Department are assisting police in trying to find Bolieiro.
Anyone with information regarding Bolieiro is asked to call Det. Dean Lombardo at 624-1560, Ext. 146.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A $3 billion cancer-fighting effort that's already under criminal investigation received yet more humiliation Wednesday when Texas Gov. Rick Perry called for a moratorium on new grants until confidence is restored in a once-celebrated agency that has plunged into turmoil in just three years.
Leaders of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas quickly embraced the request from Perry, who unveiled the unprecedented state-run cancer fight in 2009 with promises of medical breakthroughs. But the effort has unraveled into one of Texas' biggest tempests involving a state agency in Perry's 12 years as governor.
A key Republican lawmaker who filed the original bill creating CPRIT piled on Wednesday by introducing new legislation, this time calling for new polices to bolster agency oversight and accountability. The agency also faces another round of scrutiny Thursday in front of a key state budget-writing committee.
"The mission of defeating cancer is too important to be derailed by inadequate processes and a lack of oversight," Perry said in a letter to CPRIT's oversight committee. That panel includes members appointed by Perry and some of his top political donors.
The governor added, "It is important that we restore the confidence of the Texas taxpayers who approved this important initiative before new funds are dispersed."
The letter was co-signed by Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and state House Speaker Joe Straus, who also appoints members of the agency's governing board.
CPRIT controls the nation's second-largest pot of cancer research dollars, behind the National Institutes of Health. That federal department's cancer-research arm, the National Cancer Institute, also has said it is reviewing the troubles surrounding the Texas agency.
NCI confers on CPRIT prestigious status as an approved funding entity and losing that designation would be another blow for the beleaguered agency. It's already under a criminal investigation, is the target of widespread rebuke from scientists and has seen its leadership purged by resignations, including its executive director last week.
In a statement, oversight committee Chairman Jimmy Mansour and Vice Chairman Joseph Bailes said they agreed with Perry's call to cooperate with current reviews, implement recommended changes, enact reforms and fill key positions.
"These issues need to be resolved to restore public confidence in CPRIT," they said in a joint statement.
The reviews began after CPRIT disclosed that an $11 million grant to a private company had bypassed review.
The award to Dallas-based Peloton Therapeutics, a biomedical startup, marked the second time this year that a lucrative taxpayer-funded grant authorized by CPRIT instigated backlash and raised questions about oversight.
The first involved a $20 million grant to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston that CPRIT's former chief science officer, Nobel laureate Dr. Alfred Gilman, described as a thin proposal that should have first been scrutinized by an outside panel of scientific peer-reviewers, even though none was required under the agency's rules.
Dozens of the nation's top scientists agreed. They resigned en masse from the agency's peer-review panels along with Gilman. Some accused the agency of "hucksterism" and charting a politically-driven path that was putting commercial product-development above science.

There has already been much discussion on single-use systems at US conferences and in US publications during the past 10–15 years, but interest is now expanding further across the globe to Europe and Asia. Despite this growth, there have been only a few dedicated conferences in these regions that focus on single-use systems, even though significant implementation in European vaccine and biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities has occurred. However, this trend may be changing. This year, I've been privileged to speak at and chair several international conferences focusing on single use. Such conferences provide an important opportunity for industry participants to share experience, concerns, and best practices.
EUROPEOn February 1–2, 2011, I visited Brussels to chair the International Quality and Productivity Center's (IQPC) Pharma–IQ Disposables Solutions for Biomanufacturing Conference, which was attended by nearly 100 European manufacturers and suppliers. The conference was Pharma–IQ's third Annual European Disposables meeting. The previous two annual conferences were held in London, and the event is shaping up to be a key European conference for single-use activities. This year's meeting featured speakers from several European-based vaccine, biopharmaceutical, and contract manufacturers, including Novartis, Vivalis, Genzyme, CMC Biologics, Cobra Biomanufacturing, Innogenics, Crucell, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, and Merck Serono, along with supplier presentations from Pall Life Sciences, Sartorius-Stedim Biotech, Novasep, JM Bioconnect, GE Healthcare, and ATMI Life Sciences.
National European regulatory authorities and the European Medicines Agency have not made public statements about the acceptability or requirements for single-use technologies, but this has not deterred European drug sponsor and contract manufacturing facilities from implementing such systems for both clinical and production batches. Conference topics, for example, focused on everything from comparability of product quality and reduction of carbon footprints to implementation of single-use systems for buffer filling processes and preparation of regulatory submissions. The conference also featured several roundtable discussion sessions that facilitated the sharing of questions and experiences among participants.
Shortly after Pharma–IQ, I visited Tokyo (just before the earthquake and tsunami occurred) to give a presentation on single-use technologies and quality requirements at the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) Japan Sterile Products Processing Community of Practice meeting. Compared with Europe and the US, implementation of single-use systems in Japan has not been as extensive. Japanese pharmaceutical companies, however, are interested in new applications for single-use technologies. I also met with representatives from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, who were eager to learn about best practices for implementing single-use systems in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

'Fast & Furious' Star Paul Walker Dead At 40
'Fast & Furious' Star Paul Walker was killed Saturday afternoon (11/30) in a single-car accident that ended in an explosion in Santa Clarita, California, just north of Los Angeles.
According to reports, Walker was the passenger in a Porsche when it lost control and crashed into a tree and a light standard, causing the car to burst into flames killing Walker and the driver, whose identity is unknown at this time
Several witnesses at the scene identified Walker as the driver of the vehicle, one saying he recognized Walker when he attempted to help put the flames out caused by the wreck.
A statement confirming Walker's untimely death was posted to Paul Walker's official Facebook page:
It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident while attending a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. He was a passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their lives. We appreciate your patience as we too are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news. Thank you for keeping his family and friends in your prayers during this very difficult time. We will do our best to keep you apprised on where to send condolences. - #TeamPW
We will update this further as the story develops.

As noted in my takeaways column earlier this week, this was a game that was split distinctly into two halves. The Atlanta Falcons looked very good in the second half on both sides of the ball, but not so much in the first half.
To what should be no surprise, things didn't really kick into high gear offensively until the team was able to get Julio Jones more actively involved. Trust me, that is going to be a recurring theme this entire season. Jones was dominant in the second half after the Cowboys had done a very good job containing him in the first half.
That was largely due to the fact that the Cowboys did a good job not allowing Jones to get free releases off the line. He was getting pressed and jammed with both Cowboys corners Mo Claiborne and Brandon Carr doing a pretty good job getting their hands on him throughout the first half to slow him down. But in the second half the Cowboys went with a lot more off and bail coverages, allowing Jones easy releases into his routes, and neither corner was good enough to stick with him. You can certainly say that the Cowboys' inability to get stops on the Falcons final half-dozen possessions were really of their own doing because of Jones' ability to get off the line and create easy separation out of his breaks.
There were also a handful more instances in the second half where the Falcons utilized Jones in the slot, which they fully took advantage of. For example on Jones' 45-yard touchdown, he sped past slot cornerback Tyler Patmon, who had outside leverage against Jones with safety help over the top. With Patmon's outside technique and free safety J.J. Wilcox not in a position to break on the inside throw, neither play had much of a chance against Jones' speed. Here's the GIF of the play:
from NFL Game Pass
Jones' deep post out of the slot. Cowboys FS J.J. Wilcox is late on his break and it's a wrap.
Because of how much the offense centered around getting Jones the ball, nobody else really shined in the passing game. Roddy White was held without a catch for the second week in a row, although he did have one reception wiped out by a penalty. Much like last week, there were times where White was open on film but Matt Ryan simply wasn't looking for him. One notable example was on Jones' last touchdown.
Leonard Hankerson struggled with a trio of drops. Losing Jacob Tamme early in the game to a concussion put Levine Toilolo in a position as a pass-catcher where he was being asked to run routes that he's not particularly good at. But Toilolo did a decent job in his contributions as a blocker. While Toilolo is not a good blocker, he's effective at times even when it doesn't look very pretty.
Patrick DiMarco really was the standout blocker, leading the way for Devonta Freeman on a number of runs. He did a good job searching and destroying the Cowboys linebackers on several runs. It was reminiscent of what Ovie Mughelli used to do back in the day.
The Falcons offensive line also did a good job clearing lanes with most of their key blocks coming on plays when they were able to get to second level and seal an alley or cutback lane against a linebacker for Freeman.
Freeman was the star of the show, outshining even Jones. In his first start, Freeman was quick, decisive and did a nice job locating some cutback lanes on several runs to get some extra yardage. He was able to scoot out of some negative plays on other runs, able to make a penetrating defender miss and turn what could have been a two-yard loss into a minimal gain. It was one of the best performances by a running back since I began reviewing games back in 2009.
When people envisioned what the new zone-blocking scheme would bring to Atlanta this year, it was probably a performance like this game.
Pass protection was mostly solid, although defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford continuously gave the interior guys trouble with his power. Both pressures allowed by the guards were caused by him.
But I want to point out also on Jones' 45-yard touchdown that the Falcons did a good job picking up double stunts by the Cowboys, which gave Ryan a clean enough pocket to step into his 19-yard throw. Here's the GIF of that:
from NFL Game Pass
Falcons handle the double stunts of the Cowboys, giving Ryan time to hit Jones for TD.
It's worth pointing out because you can tell that the offensive line is starting to gel when they can handle stunts. Not being able to handle stunts is often a sign of poor cohesion and was a major reason why past Falcons lines struggled.
There was also another instance where I noticed the Falcons being repetitive with their play-calling. On the opening drive of the third quarter when they were backed up on 2nd-and-25 and 3rd-and-25, the team called the same designed drag route to Jones but to opposite sides of the field. Both times, Jones was supposed to run a shallow cross underneath with Levine Toilolo, Roddy White and Terron Ward releasing on "vertical routes" downfield, but were really trying to get in position to block downfield. Both times defensive tackle Nick Hayden batted down Ryan's pass by getting into the throwing lane.
Much like I noted in last week's review, one can argue that the second time the play was called it was set up to work better if not for Hayden batting down the pass. Does this mean anything? Not really but I just find it fascinating that Kyle Shanahan is not afraid to call the same play twice in a row.
Devonta Freeman $0 $25 $2 $0 $0 $0 $27.00
Matt Ryan $16 $3 $0 $0 $0 $0 $19.00
Julio Jones $0 $0 $15 $0 $0 $0 $15.00

Roddy White $0 $0 $0 -$1 $0 $0 -$1.00
Leonard Hankerson $0 $0 -$1 -$1 $0 $0 -$2.00
The Falcons defensive line really struggled to win along the line of scrimmage in the first half, the Cowboys offensive line deserves all the credit in the world. Just like the Falcons blockers for most of the game, they were often able to get to the second level and take out Paul Worrilow.
Worrilow had a rough game, although if I'm being honest I don't think he was that much worse than Justin Durant in the first half. Durant was out of position on several plays, but turned things around in the second half with a lot of individual plays to get back into the positive on his earnings. He was able to make some nice open-field tackles because the Falcons were able to anticipate the checkdowns and cheat up when Brandon Weeden simply dumped it off to Lance Dunbar.
Dunbar really gave both Worrilow and Durant troubles in the first half, since his speed outran their angles. Because the Falcons were anticipating the throws to Dunbar in the second, it gave them the necessary time to cover the ground necessary to make the stops.
But the two linebackers weren't alone as the Falcons had several missed tackles in the first two quarters. Ricardo Allen missed a bunch, unable to close on ballcarriers. This was a game that exposed some of his limitations, which is that he doesn't have the sort of speed, range and size to be great in this scheme.
Robert Alford has low earnings because of three negative plays, although he locked down his side of the field in coverage against Devin Street and did his job well outside those three plays. Desmond Trufant did much the same for his side of the field against Terrance Williams. Phillip Adams struggled early against Cole Beasley but improved as the game wore on.
The Falcons didn't create a ton of pressure thanks once again to a very good Cowboys offensive line, but did get enough towards the end of the game. I would like to highlight Vic Beasley's sack, where he was able to utilize his speed to get by Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith, who arguably has the best feet in the NFL. I also wanted to show this play because you can also see Jonathan Babineaux get some pressure on a stunt against Doug Free, something I pointed out in my preview that the Cowboys were susceptible to. Just taking a moment to pat myself on the back!
from NFL Game Pass
Beasley (44) beats Tyron Smith (77) on a speed rush and Babineaux gets inside Doug Free (68) on a stunt
Beasley's speed on the sack signals his potential as a pass-rusher. If he can get around Smith, then there's very few offensive tackles that he shouldn't be able to get around.
But for the most part Beasley was fairly quiet and outside one or two plays, Smith controlled him. I thought Grady Jarrett was the far more impressive rookie Falcons defensive lineman. Jarrett didn't get a ton of reps, but seemingly was able to beat whoever was blocking him whenever he did get on the field.
I liked seeing Ra'Shede Hageman's strength overpower La'el Collins at times. The only knock on Hageman is that he's very good at pushing a guy off the ball to collapse the pocket, but isn't very good at disengaging from his block to actually make the play. He really doesn't have any pass-rush moves at this point and just relies on getting his hands inside, trying to walk the blocker backwards. He's definitely a disruptor, but I'm still skeptical of the oft-opined expectations that Hageman will be a difference-maker as a pass-rusher in the future. The situational role he has right now very much suits him and it may very well be that he'll never get significantly better to the degree that requires that role expanding in the future. If so, then that's fine.
On special teams, Robenson Therezie supplanted Phillip Adams both as a gunner on punt coverage and at the inside position on the kickoff team. Therezie did respectable on punts, although he got replaced by Dezmen Southward one time when he was subbing for Allen at free safety on regular defense. I'm not sure Therezie is going to be permanent fixture as he looked a bit hesitant and unable to avoid blockers on kickoffs. Thankfully, all but one of Matt Bosher's kicks were returnable.
Southward definitely did better this week in his one opportunity since his speed is still an asset allowing him to get downfield, but he had a chance to make the tackle and couldn't, but it did slow Dunbar down enough to allow Collins to make the play.
Matt Bosher $0 $5 $0 $5.00
Justin Durant $2 $0 $0 $2.00
Paul Soliai $2 $0 $0 $2.00
Nate Stupar $2 $0 $0 $2.00
O'Brien Schofield $1.5 $0 $0 $1.50

Back in our first mock draft, a lot was still unsettled around the league. With every head coaching vacancy filled, the draft order finalized and the Senior Bowl in the past, teams are already deep into their draft preparation. As occurs with the annual coaching shuffle around the league, teams like the Eagles and Saints will be switching to a 3-4 and therefore will need to change some personnel. Likewise, some teams are considering adding a viable quarterback to their offense. It remains to be seen whether they'll be able to find one in the first round.
While the anticipation is that some workout warriors will blow these predictions out of the water at the Combine, here's our second stab at a 2013 NFL mock draft:
1. Kansas City Chiefs
Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Andy Reid and the Chiefs stay with Smith, who they hope can be Donovan McNabb 2.0. The Chiefs haven't drafted a quarterback in the first round since 1983. Smith will be the first by being (probably) the best of a weak passing class.
Previous mock: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
With the fewest sacks in the NFL in 2012, the Jaguars need to find a pass rusher. Werner may not have the highest ceiling in the draft, but he's ready to play right away and will provide an instant upgrade.
Previous mock: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
3. Oakland Raiders
Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
The Raiders had the second-fewest sacks in the NFL and need at least one defensive tackle, as it is all but certain Richard Seymour won't be back with the team. Lotulelei can anchor the Oakland line for years to come.
Previous mock: Jarvis Jones, LB, Georgia
Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
Word is the Eagles will be converting to a 3-4 defense and the past couple seasons tell us that they'll need some players for that - or any other - defense. However, they also need help on the offensive line. Joeckel is too good to pass up if he's on the board.
Previous mock: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
5. Detroit Lions
Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
The Lions released Kyle Vanden Bosch, and while his meager production shouldn't be hard to replace, they do need an outside pass rush. Moore played both linebacker and defensive end in college and could make the Detroit line dominant alongside Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley.
Previous mock: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
6. Cleveland Browns
Jarvis Jones, LB, Georgia
Cleveland also needs to upgrade its pass rush. Under new head coach Rob Chudzinski and defensive coordinator Ray Horton, the Browns will run a 3-4 defense and need to add a player like Jones on the outside.
Previous mock: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
7. Arizona Cardinals
Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
Yes, the Cardinals need a quarterback, but they also need linemen to protect that quarterback, even if it's Kevin Kolb. Since they can only draft one here, it'll be Fisher, whose stock is on the rise.
Previous mock: Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas
8. Buffalo Bills
Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas
Nassib was the pick previously, given his connections with new Bills head coach Doug Marrone, but new general manager Buddy Nix said he was impressed with Wilson's arm strength at the Senior Bowl. With no Combine results to go on as of yet, that's good enough rationale for this mock draft.
Previous mock: Ryan Nassib, QB, Syracuse
9. New York Jets
Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU
The Jets will stick with Mingo as their pick, hoping to replenish a defense that has seen much of its talent disappear over the past few seasons. Mingo is the type of hybrid pass rusher that Rex Ryan will maximize, mostly because he's not a quarterback.
Previous mock: Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU
10. Tennessee Titans
DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama
The Titans' defense gave up the most points in the league last season, in part because of a pass defense ranked just 24th. Milliner could evolve into a shutdown corner, something Tennessee has lacked for several years.
Previous mock: Chance Warmack, G, Alabama
11. San Diego Chargers
Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
With Fisher gone, the Chargers will turn to the third-best offensive tackle in the draft. Johnson wasn't overly impressive in his senior season but played well enough in the Senior Bowl to justify a selection here.
Previous mock: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
12. Miami Dolphins
Keenan Allen, WR, California
The Dolphins at least hope Ryan Tannehill can be their franchise quarterback, but they'll need to get him some weapons. Allen is the best wide receiver in the draft, a 6-3 deep threat who can win jump balls, something Miami sorely lacks.
Previous mock: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
With the worst pass defense in the NFL this season, the Buccaneers can use all the help they can get in the secondary. Milliner is gone, but Rhodes, a rare commodity as a 6-2 cornerback, is a need pick.
Previous mock: DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama
14. Carolina Panthers
Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
The pick was Alabama's Jesse Williams, but Richardson takes his spot in anticipation of his combine performance. Richardson can move like no 300-pounder should be able to, and could see his stock soar even higher after Indianapolis.
Previous mock: Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
15. New Orleans Saints
Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
Rob Ryan is the Saints' new defensive coordinator, and as a result the unit that was atrocious in 2012 will be switching to the 3-4. They have a lot of holes to fill, but Jordan fits perfectly as a pass-rushing upgrade and huge presence on the outside.
Previous mock: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
16. St. Louis Rams
Chance Warmack, G, Alabama
The Rams never got the chance to draft Johnson, but Warmack will do more than fine as an immediate upgrade at guard. If he was a tackle, he'd be a top-five pick.
Previous mock: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
17. Pittsburgh Steelers
Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
With a defense that is not what it used to be, the Steelers will look to inject some youth into the defensive line. Floyd is fast and aggressive, and can provide help against both the run and pass.
Previous mock: Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame
18. Dallas Cowboys
Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
The Cowboys need to find another defensive tackle with the switch back to the 4-3. Williams might be more ideal as a nose guard in the 3-4, but there's no reason why he can't be an effective plug on a four-man line.
Previous mock: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
19. New York Giants
Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
This pick remains the same because of the Jason Pierre-Paul comparisons and the fact that the Giants will likely begin turning over their defensive line in the next year or two. Ansah is raw but has great potential for the 19th pick.
Previous mock: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
20. Chicago Bears
Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina
Cooper plays offensive line, so the Bears are definitely interested. They could probably use help more on the outside of the line, but Cooper is the best lineman available.
Previous mock: Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia
21. Cincinnati Bengals
Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame
It's impossible to tell what NFL teams are thinking of Te'o now, but if there's a team to draft him relatively high after all that, it's the Bengals, who could use an upgrade at inside linebacker.
Previous mock: Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU
22. St. Louis Rams (from Washington Redskins)
Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
Having solved one of their problems on the offensive line, the Rams turn to a skill position. Patterson is 6-3 and one of the best athletes in the draft, which is important because you need to be athletic to catch one of Sam Bradford's passes.
Previous mock: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
23. Minnesota Vikings
DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
The Vikings needed a wide receiver before it was reported that Percy Harvin is available for trade, and definitely will need one if he is dealt.
Previous mock: Keenan Allen, WR, California
24. Indianapolis Colts
D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama
The Colts could go offense or defense here. Protecting Andrew Luck breaks the tie, but Fluker is the pick over Aboushi.
Previous mock: Oday Aboushi, OT, Virginia Tech
25. Seattle Seahawks
John Jenkins, DT, Georgia
Jenkins is great value here and was impressive at the Senior Bowl. He also weighs more than 350 pounds, which should help free some space for Seattle's pass rush.
Previous mock: Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
26. Green Bay Packers
Barrett Jones, C, Alabama
The Packers obviously have struggled to protect Aaron Rodgers, so this is something they need to address. A tackle would've been nice, but Jones will solidify the center position.
Previous mock: Barrett Jones, C, Alabama
27. Houston Texans
Kevin Minter, LB, LSU
Houston's defense never recovered after Brian Cushing's season-ending ACL injury, so the Texans could use some insurance here.
Previous mock: Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
28. Denver Broncos
Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
Joe Flacco's pass to Jacoby Jones is still hanging up there and the Broncos still need help in the secondary. Banks remains the selection.
Previous mock: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
29. New England Patriots
Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
Wes Welker keeps dropping passes in the playoffs and the Patriots have few passing weapons outside of the tight ends. Austin is a small but versatile player whom New England could get very creative with.
Previous mock: Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas
30. Atlanta Falcons
Alex Okafor, DE, Texas
John Abraham is 34 and Ray Edwards turned out to be money spent unwisely, so the Falcons should be looking for pass-rushing help.
Previous mock: Kawann Short, DT, Purdue
31. San Francisco 49ers
Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas
The 49ers obviously struggled with their pass defense in the Super Bowl and could lose Dashon Goldson to free agency. Vaccaro is the first safety off the board.
Previous mock: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
32. Baltimore Ravens
Robert Woods, WR, USC
Anquan Boldin might have played his last game as a Raven in the Super Bowl. Woods could replace him and more.
Previous mock: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson

A recent study by security company Trustwave found that the most common computer passwords are still variations on the word "password."
That news won't make anyone spit out their morning coffee; the prevalence of bad passwords is an established fact of life. But the report does shed light on why bad passwords are so common and offers suggestions for reducing the problem.
Trustwave's 2012 Global Security Report, a comprehensive look at the security landscape, includes a section on passwords that delves into weaknesses in user behavior, administrative policy and the technologies used to manage passwords.
Related stories:
Guess who: The 25 worst passwords of 2011
One more reason why passwords are no darn good
The company's SpiderLabs studied 2.5 million passwords used at organizations and found that about 5 percent of them used a variation on "password," such as "Password1," "Password2," "Passw0rd," "Password123," and plain old "password." Also popular were variations on "welcome," such as "WeIcome," "Welcome1," and so on. And the always-reliable "123456" made an appearance, too.
Why? One reason, the report states, is that password management systems allow it, especially when set to their lowest level of complexity.
For the study, the lab team focused on Windows Active Directory, since just about every organization uses it to store user accounts. The default settings for AD require that passwords be at least six characters long and contain characters from at least three of five categories: uppercase, lowercase, numerals between 0 and 9, special characters, and Unicode characters. It also requires that the password not contain three or more characters from the user's name.
Users will chose the path of least resistance, particularly if they have to remember a password, so they'll usually choose the easier three categories: upper- and lowercase letters and throw in a number. Hence, a lot of "Password1" — which, the report points out, meets the same complexity requirements as "X$nc*(24," or any other combination that makes use of all five categories.
And even though most organizations require that passwords be changed every so often, Windows AD's default settings don't forbid changing to similar passwords, so a user can change "Password1" to "Password2" to "Password3," the report states.
When people aren't falling back on "password" and "welcome" variations, they still tend to build their passwords around common, correctly spelled English words. Popular sources of passwords included months of the year, U.S. states, the seasons and names found in the list of the top 100 babies' names for 2011.
And they don't mix it up much with special characters. Of Trustwave's list of the 25 most common passwords, only one — "P@ssw0rd"— contained a special character. Such passwords are not only vulnerable to a dictionary attack but fairly easy to guess outright.
But there are things administrators and users can do to make them better, Trustwave says.
"The solution to password security starts with eliminating weaker, older and insecure technologies," the report states. "In the case of Windows AD, the use of LAN Manager for password storage simply needs to go."
LAN Manager was originally used as a hashing algorithm for pre-Windows NT systems, and even though Microsoft disabled it starting with the Vista and Server 2008 operating systems, it still is common with XP and Server 2003 systems.
For Windows systems, Trustwave recommends using NT Hash-based storage, which allows for a larger, 128-bit key space and Unicode. The report also recommends using third-party cryptographic tools of the kind available in Unix systems.
And users who want better complexity in a password they can still remember need to go long. "[I]t's time to stop thinking of passwords as words, and more as phrases," the report states.
"Given that many rainbow tables have reached eight to nine or more characters for recovering NT passwords, length is one of the few effective constraints left," the report's authors write. As a result, "ThisIsMyPasswordNoReallyItIs" becomes more effective than "X$nc*(24" — and is easier to remember, to boot.
Based on the evidence to date, it appears that bad password will be with us for as long as people have to create and remember them. But, Trustwave's report states, improved storage methods and better policies for choosing passwords could do a lot to ameliorate the problem.

ameliorate.... now I've got my new password. "Hey Jude, take this bad song and ameliorate it..."
Here's another one I had to deal with recently: Verizon. Their internet service passwords accept only letters and numbers. No keyboard symbols. No ASCII or unicode symbols. Just letters and numbers. How's that for weak, and it's not the users fault.
The biggest problem is systems that limit the number of characters, some are 15 max, which limits your creativity to make a password that is memorable. Most websites I've made passwords for refuse to accept any non-keyboard characters, even if they're just ASCII, let alone unicode. I tried unicode in a password for work, it was accepted, but it wouldn't work when I tried to log back in. It's as though the password got altered somehow -maybe each unicode character got changed to a question mark (?) as when you try to save unicode characters in a text file.
The weak link isn't particularly the passwords - more like the carbon based wet computer that has to do the password management. Some college boys (and girls) got some grants to study passwords like business problems - given a variable number of passwords, complexity rules, security of the systems etc., what level of "investment" gives me most value, or more appropriately, the least loss. Tokens and biometrics help bunches, but for the most part, were so far off-peak now pretty much anything we change will improve the return. We need to stick that in our cyber-pipe and smoke it.
Passwords that have to be remembered are always going to be weak.Use biometrics or RFID tokens.

No. 1 Baylor 80, West Virginia 49
Her fifth career triple-double did little to coax some
excitement out of Brittney Griner. Not when there's still a month
left in top-ranked Baylor's pursuit of a second straight national
The largest crowd ever for a women's game at West Virginia saw
Griner finish with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocked shots, and
the Lady Bears built a big early lead in defeating the Mountaineers
80-49 on Saturday night.
Individual accomplishments mean little to the most dominant
player in women's college basketball.
"Nah, I'll do that after I'm done with my college career,"
Griner said.
It was Griner's first triple-double since November 2010. It tied
her with Kansas State's Shalee Lehning (2006-09) for the most in
conference history.
"She brings it like that every day, guys," Baylor coach Kim
Mulkey said. "That's what makes her special. When I go to
practice, I just know if I see Brittney, it makes our practice
because she's just that kind of kid. She's not a prima donna, she
just works."
In the earlier meeting this season in Waco, Texas, Griner
finished one blocked shot shy of a triple-double.
She got it this time with more than 5 minutes left in the
"My teammates found me, and got me the ball," Griner said.
"And then I was just aggressive getting rebounds and getting
On Monday night, Baylor will try to become the first Big 12
school to finish undefeated in women's conference play twice,
having done it last season. The Lady Bears will take a 26-game
winning streak into their regular-season finale at home against
Kansas State. The Big 12 tournament is next weekend.
Shortly before tipoff, just as he does every home game, West
Virginia's buckskin-wearing mascot fired his musket at midcourt,
startling everyone on Baylor's bench.
During the game, it was West Virginia that looked frazzled.
Baylor (28-1, 17-0 Big 12) never trailed. The Lady Bears scored
the first 14 points of the game and built a 38-22 halftime
"I thought we played scared in the beginning," said West
Virginia coach Mike Carey.
Despite falling behind by as many as 20 points in the first
half, West Virginia trimmed the deficit to single digits. A 10-2
run, capped by Christal Caldwell's basket, brought the Mountaineers
within 42-34 with 17:27 left in the game. That's as close as West
Virginia got.
Just as quickly, Baylor pulled away. Griner's jumper started a
15-3 run that put the Lady Bears ahead 57-37 with 12:27
Griner's rebound with 5:22 left gave her the triple double, and
her ensuing basket gave Baylor a 70-44 lead.
West Virginia had hoped to get Griner into foul trouble, but she
didn't pick up her third foul until there was 5:38 left in the game
and she went to the bench for good a short time later.
West Virginia tied its lowest point total of the season. The
Mountaineers attempted 21 more field goals than Baylor but shot
just 22.5 percent from the floor.
"I thought tonight, from the tip, we guarded West Virginia,"
Mulkey said. "We talk a lot about what we do on the offensive end
of the floor, I don't think people talk enough about what we do on
the defensive end of the floor."
West Virginia had hoped somehow to keep pace with the nation's
second-best scoring offense by moving center Ayana Dunning, who is
5 inches shorter than Griner, to the outside. But Dunning, in her
final home game, made 2 of 7 3-point tries and finished with nine
Christal Caldwell scored 14 points to lead West Virginia (17-11,
9-8), which saw its three-game winning streak snapped.
Odyssey Sims added 10 points for Baylor.
Griner got off to a slow start by her standards, but Baylor
While West Virginia missed its first seven shots, Baylor took
control from the opening tip and raced to a 38-22 halftime
Griner did score the game's first basket, then didn't score
again until the 12:38 mark. She had 16 points, four rebounds and
four blocks by halftime, then turned up the tempo on defense in the
second half.
A record crowd of 13,447 watched the Mountaineers fall to 0-5
all-time against top-ranked teams at home. It broke the previous
mark of 8,307 set against DePaul in 2008. West Virginia entered the
game with the lowest average home attendance in the Big 12 at
"That crowd needs to be out here for every game, not just when
Baylor comes to town, because that's good," Mulkey said. "That's
healthy for West Virginia, that's healthy for the Big 12, that's
healthy for our sport. And we love that. "

Yes you do. I hope the future is here soon so we can get one of those.
A telephone that cost over a hundred dollars? Get out of my office.
I ditched my android phone and sold my tablet. I'm done with that. When I see people holding those f*****g things up to their face I feel closer to death.

ESPN analyst Paul Carcaterra will provide color commentary during Saturday's game involving Michigan at No. 5 Johns Hopkins. The former Syracuse All-American midfielder, who can be followed on Twitter via @paulcarcaterra, discussed the most surprising result of the weekend, his most impressive team of the season thus far and the upcoming rematch between No. 3 Maryland and No. 1 Loyola.
Any surprising results from this past weekend?
The most surprising results for the weekend was [No. 14] UMass over [No. 6] North Carolina [by the score of 12-11]. I think at even strength, UMass is the type of program that can compete against ACC teams. I just thought that without [senior attackman] Will Manny, who is reported to have broken a thumb in the Army game from the week before, I thought they would have a tougher time generating offense because he is a first-team All American and a Tewaaraton candidate for this upcoming season. So I thought not having the quarterback of your offense against a team like Carolina who has a ton of talent, I thought UMass would have struggled a little bit more than they did. It just shows you their resolve and their ability to compete deep into the game. They came from behind despite being minus Will Manny and a couple other starters. So they were undermanned, but certainly they're a team with a tremendous amount of pride and tradition. And their coach Greg Cannella is one of the best in the business. So that was probably a surprising outcome for me. I thought [No. 4] Notre Dame would have had their hands full a little bit more against [No. 10] Duke just because Duke had two games under their belt, and that was Notre Dame's first game and it was down at Duke. I felt that Notre Dame was the favorite going into that contest, but I didn't think they'd win by eight goals [13-5] and so convincingly. That was never a game from the first whistle, and I was very impressed with what they did down in Durham against Duke. And there were some other fantastic games. Delaware had [No. 1] Loyola on the ropes, Albany up in the [Carrier] Dome against [No. 13] Syracuse. I watched that entire game, and I felt that Albany's offense really gave Syracuse's defense fits. It looked like Syracuse was confused at times playing against the Thompson trio. Those guys were scoring every time they had the ball. Just a ton of great lacrosse this weekend. But those were probably the two games that separated themselves from the others.
If you were a broker, is there a team you would buy now?
Yeah. I just don't know if it would be cheap, but it's Notre Dame. I just feel that's a team that is hitting on all cylinders. We know what they've been able to do in the past defensively. They have a returning first-team All-American goalie in [senior] John Kemp, great midfielders who play both ends of the field, and with these new rules, I think you need those types of guys, and Notre Dame certainly has guys that can go from defense to offense and vice versa. And I think this is their best attack that they've had in quite some time. Their freshman, Matt Kavanaugh, is dynamic. He's probably the best freshman attackman to ever play at Notre Dame. They had a guy in the early 90s named Randy Collie, who was superb, but I think Matt Kavanaugh is more skilled and probably the best freshman attackman to ever step on that campus.
Similarly, is there a team you would sell now?
North Carolina, it's too early, but a lot of people had them as a top-four or five team in the preseason. I had them more like at eight or nine just because I had questions about their defense. They're starting a new goaltender in [freshman] Kieran Burke. He looks like he's a solid goalie, but there are certainly question marks when he's beating out the incumbent in [redshirt senior] Steven Rastivo. I just think defensively, they haven't figured it out yet. So that is a concern. They have an offense with perhaps the best attack in the country in [senior Marcus] Holman and [sophomores Jimmy] Bitter and [Joey] Sankey. Their midfielders are probably better than they have been in the past from a dodging standpoint and creating offense. But their defense worries me.
Were there any individual performances that impressed you?
The one that really impressed me was [sophomore attackman] Lyle Thompson from Albany. He had two goals and six assists against Syracuse in overtime, and every time he had the ball, something happened – whether he scored or assisted. If lacrosse were a statistics driven sport like hockey where you have double assists, he probably would have had a slew of assist. He's instant offense. So creative, his stick skills are superb, but his awareness to see the entire field and get others involved make him one of the better offensive talents in the country. He's only a sophomore, but I just think that he's probably going to be dynamic. Another kid is from Notre Dame, Jim Marlatt, a [junior] midfielder who had five goals. And then the Kavanaugh kid had four goals. So those are two young guys that I think are transforming Notre Dame's offense. Everybody has been talking about Notre Dame's defense for years. I think they have the offense now to combine and give teams fit.
No. 9 Denver upset then-No. 6 Duke in the season opener, but got upended by No. 18 Penn State Sunday. What do you make of the Pioneers?
As good as Denver is – their first midfield with [senior] Chase Carraro, [senior] Cam Flint and [junior] Jeremy Noble is probably the best first midfield in the country – they're not a very deep team. I don't think they have a tremendous amount of depth at the midfield. I think a lot of those guys have to play two ways, and Carraro was hurt in the first half of that game. That changes their ability to create offense off the faceoff because he faces off and scores the goals and he plays all over the field. So Denver, when you take one of those guys out of the mix, they're not deep to begin with. I think they can struggle. And defensively, I watched that game and I thought Denver had a real tough time playing team defense and sliding and stopping Penn State's dodgers, specifically the Shane Sturgis kid. He had four unassisted goals and they were all from that same area behind the goal, creating one-on-one offense with no slides. That's not typical of a Bill Tierney defense, to let the dodgers score. So there were some holes in that defense yesterday. But credit [Penn State] coach [Jeff] Tambroni. I thought it was more of a five-year project to start cracking into that top 10 stratosphere, and he looks to be ahead of schedule. He is one of the best coaches in the country – hands down.
If you're Denver, how worried are you about No. 8 Lehigh visiting this Saturday?
Lehigh is so well coached. Kevin Cassese is a fantastic coach in the way that he coaches defense and he gets his team prepared. Lehigh can certainly beat Denver, and they're probably deeper, to be quite honest with you. I really like their attack also with [seniors] Dante Fantoni and the [David] DiMaria kid who can create offense. The big question for me was Lehigh's midfield. They lost the Lao-Gosney brothers who created so much offense from up top. If they can continue to generate some offense – and it looks like they're starting to in these early stages of the season – from the midfield, those attackmen will break free and create a lot of concern for opposing defenses. Defensively, they are on lockdown. They've got a great goalie in [sophomore] Matt Poillon, their defense returns for the most part, and they played statistically some of the best defense in the country last year. So that's going to be a great contest and I expect that game to go down to the wire.
The other significant game this weekend is No. 3 Maryland at Loyola. Which team needs this win more?
I think – believe it or not – Loyola needs this win more, and I say that because although Maryland hasn't won a national championship since the mid 70s, Maryland has consistently competed in Final Fours. They've been to the last two national championship games [in the last two years], they have a great senior class. I think Loyola – after winning the title and now being the hunted instead of the hunter – they have to solidify their legitimacy in their own right by competing in a new year. Even though they have a majority of their team back, they need to prove to themselves that they belong in the elite of lacrosse. In their first game last week, Delaware took them down to the wire. If Loyola thinks they're going to roll the ball and be the same team as last year, it's a different year, a different type of chemistry. They certainly have the talent to repeat as national champions, but I think this game against Maryland this early in the season is an opportunity to prove to themselves that they are amongst the elite in college lacrosse in 2013 and kind of take that momentum from 2012 and parlay that into a season that presents a tremendous amount of challenges with some great teams on their schedule. I think early in the season, confidence for a team that's just won their first national championship, you can't really quantify that. The chemistry and the belief they'll have after beating a team like Maryland this weekend would just be a tremendous boost for the program.
Who are the top five teams in your mind?
If there was a playoff right now, based on what's in front of us, I think Notre Dame's the top team in the country. I think Loyola and Maryland are right there. And I think [No. 5] Johns Hopkins is certainly a team that can compete for a national championship. They have so much talent back. They have the senior class, which was one of the top recruiting classes in the country when they came to Johns Hopkins. You have to look at their last two regular seasons. They were fantastic. They just haven't played their best lacrosse come tournament time. I think they're even better this year. Those are my top four teams, and I'm anxious to see what [No. 2] Cornell does this week against Hobart. Hobart had a big win against Siena and put up huge numbers. This will be [Cornell's] first game of the season. I want to see what the 2013 Big Red looks like with [senior attackman] Rob Pannell because I think he's going to be playing on a completely different level with probably only just a couple other players in the country like Peter Baum and a few others. I think Rob Pannell is the total package and probably the best player in the nation in his ability to make his teammates better. I think he's going to take that team to huge heights this season.

Lettuce Lollo Rossa - Seeds
Description for Lettuce Lollo Rossa
Lettuce greens are so easy to grow, so nutritious, and so delicious picked fresh from the garden, that everyone should grow them. Grow lettuce in the vegetable garden, tuck it into flowerbeds, or cultivate it in containers. With regular watering, shade from hot sun, and succession planting, you can enjoy home-grown lettuce almost year-round in much of the country.
From baby leaf lettuce to big, crisp heads, lettuce is easy to grow in spring and fall, when the soil is cool. Leaf colour and texture vary with variety. All types of lettuce grow best when the soil is kept constantly moist, and outside temperatures range between 45 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
|Common name
|Flower colours
|Bloom time
|Ice plant.
|Height: 0.5 to 2 feet
Spread: 0.5 to 2 feet
Planting and care
|Full sun, part shade.
|Requires well-drained soil, Tolerant of a wide range of soils, but prefers well-drained, cool, loose soil with plentiful moisture and pH 6.2 to 6.8. Sensitive to low pH. Lime to at least 6.0.
|Requires regular but well drained water.
|45 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
|Leaf lettuce needs nitrogen to grow tender, new leaves quickly, so fertilize throughout the growing season with Bonnie Herb, Vegetable & Flower Plant Food.
Caring for Lettuce Lollo Rossa
- You should be able to sow additional seeds every two weeks for a continuous harvest throughout the growing season.
- Fertilize 3 weeks after transplanting. Lettuce prefers soil that is high in humus, with plenty of compost and a steady supply of nitrogen to keep if growing fast. Use organic alfalfa meal or a slow-release fertilizer.
- To plant a fall crop, create cool soil in August by moistening the ground and covering it with a bale of straw. A week later, the soil under the bale will be about 10 degrees F (6 degrees C) cooler than the rest of the garden. Sow a three foot row of lettuce seeds every couple of weeks—just rotate the straw bale around the garden.
- Make sure soil remains moist but is well-drained.
- An organic mulch will help conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and keep soil temperatures cool throughout the warmer months.
- Lettuce will tell you when it needs water. Just look at it. If the leaves are wilting, sprinkle them anytime—even in the heat of the day—to cool them off and slow down the transpiration rate.
- Weed by hand if necessary, but be careful of plant roots: They are shallow.
- Planning your garden so that lettuce will be in the shade of taller plants, such as tomatoes or sweet corn, in the heat of the summer, may reduce bolting.

Public Records Policy
"It is the policy of this subchapter to provide for free and open examination of records consistent with Chapter I, Article 6 of the Vermont Constitution. Officers of government are trustees and servants of the people and it is in the public interest to enable any person to review and criticize their decisions even though such examination may cause inconvenience or embarrassment. All people, however, have a right to privacy in their personal and economic pursuits, which ought to be protected unless specific information is needed to review the action of a governmental officer. Consistent with these principles, the general assembly hereby declares that certain public records shall be made available to any person as hereinafter provided. To that end, the provisions of this subchapter shall be liberally construed to implement this policy, and the burden of proof shall be on the public agency to sustain its action."
The statement of policy found in 1 V.S.A. §315 describes the rationale for affording access to public records. The language of this section originally was adopted through Act 231 of 1976, the first public records law. It remained unchanged until passage of Act 59 of 2011 added that "the burden of proof shall be on the public agency to sustain its action" in regards to the public records act.
The policy's statement that the provisions of the public record law "shall be liberally construed with the view towards carrying out the provisions" allowing access to public records is frequently cited by Vermont courts in rulings on public record cases.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
SEATTLE - Two Commissioners of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) begin a cross-country tour in September to explain and discuss the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) with a session in Seattle on Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at the Doubletree Seattle Airport. The training seminar is aimed at employment law practitioners, human resource and equal employment opportunity/diversity specialists, and managers dealing with issues of reasonable accommodation.
Commissioners Chai Feldblum (D) and Victoria A. Lipnic (R) will headline EEOC-sponsored training seminar in Seattle, as well as Los Angeles, Boston and Miami. The Commissioners and other speakers from various organizations will focus on the crucial subject of reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities under the ADAAA.
"This is a unique opportunity for employers in our local community to grasp in fine detail how the ADA Amendments Act impacts them," said EEOC San Francisco District Director Michael Baldonado. "Here are the very experts who developed our agency's guidelines available to answer questions in person, complemented by local presenters and resources on disability topics."
In the morning, the Commissioners will cover the basics of reasonable accommodation, including essential functions and job descriptions - the building blocks of reasonable accommodation - and special issues related to leavemodified schedules and telecommuting as reasonable accommodations. J. Aaron McCullough, a local attorney and ADA consultant, will deliver the luncheon keynote, "ADA Blunders that Lead to Litigation." The in-depth afternoon panels include:
The ADAAA, signed into law in 2008, amended the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The ADAAA made important changes to the definition of the term "disability" and rejected the holdings of several Supreme Court decisions and portions of the EEOC's ADA regulations that adopted a narrow interpretation of "disability." The ADAAA emphasizes that the definition of disability should be construed broadly in favor of coverage. The effect of these changes is to make it easier for an individual seeking protection under the ADA to establish that he or she has a disability within the act's meaning.
The remaining dates and locations of the ADAAA events are:

How do you fight in this game. I am stuck after getting Biff drunk as there doesn't appear to be a control to punch.
I tried Fate of Atlantis on the Wii and was surprised as the wiimote works for fighting. Is there an an easy fix to possibly add this to Last crusade. (PC VAG versions used).
