Handspun Friday - some Falkland
I've another big spinning project going on. I've got 54 of FatCatKnits Semi Solids on Falkland to play with. Each is a 2oz bundle. I'm spinning them with a blanket in mind. I'm only going to start knitting once all of them are done.
I've got seven finished so far. I know, this will take a while, since I'm doing other stuff in between. But so far I'm loving it.
The skeins average 127yds, chain plied, 2oz.
I've spun them from lightest to darkest, and had the feeling, I was spinning the same thing over and over, even though they are all different shades.
I've already picked the next 7 colors, they are not in this picture anymore. This time I've picked them randomly, to make spinning more exciting. So far, I'm loving every colorway, they just look so awesome up close and personal. This is really a fun project.
I'm not sure what blanket it will be. I have something in mind, but don't know if I can do it yet. But that's a long way off!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Although endlessly hyped, the NFL's trade deadline disappoints fans and fantasy leaguers more often than not. Last year was actually an exception to the rule, with Brandon Lloyd joining former head coach Josh McDaniels in St. Louis. It's reasonable to expect a slight uptick in backroom discussions this time around with the deadline pushed back two weeks -- and further delayed by Hurricane Sandy for two days. As a general rule, though, minor names stand a much better chance than major stars of changing teams at the season's mid-point.Let's break down the names that have been bandied about leading up to the deadline.Steven Jackson, Rams - In another incident of ESPN-on-ESPN crime, the ultra-reliable Adam Schefter reported the Rams have already fielded multiple offers on Jackson only to have John Clayton claim a day later that there's "no action right now" on the veteran back. The rebuilding Rams aren't likely to welcome the impending free agent back in 2013, so it makes sense to listen to deadline offers. The biggest hangup remains the $3.705 remaining on S-Jax's salary. Should the Rams succeed in dealing their team leader to a contender, Darryl Richardson would be the primary beneficiary. The coaching staff has used Richardson primarily as a pass-catcher and outside runner, which suggests they may view him as a timeshare back. Isaiah Pead finally flashed a hint of ability last week and would likely be elevated to the 1B role behind Richardson's 1A.Chance of a trade: 25 percentDeAngelo Williams, Panthers - It's telling that Williams was demoted as the Panthers overhauled their running scheme and fired the GM that handed him an unreasonable five-year, $43 million contract. The Charlotte Observer believes Williams' days in Carolina are numbered, so it makes sense to listen to offers. The hurdles to a Williams trade are two-fold: (1) He's unlikely to accept a paycut on the remaining $2.779 million due this season. (2) A trade would count $9.6 million against the Panthers' 2013 salary cap whereas a post-June 1 release would count $3.2 million against the 2013 cap and $6.4 million against the 2014 cap. At least one playoff-contending team has reached out to the Panthers, but those salary-cap permutations are legit.Chance of a trade: 20 percentLeGarrette Blount, Buccaneers - According to ESPN's John Clayton, Blount has emerged as the most likely candidate to be moved at the deadline. Stuck behind emerging star Doug Martin and third-down back D.J. Ware, Blount has no role in the Bucs offense. Unlike Jackson and Williams, salary ($540,000 prorated) is not an issue and Blount is a restricted free agent after the season.
Blount is arguably the least effective passing-down back in the NFL, struggles in short yardage and leaves a lot to be desired in ball security. To regain fantasy relevance, he's going to need a clear-cut path to the early-down role in a high-scoring offense. Unless he lands in Green Bay, I wouldn't hold out hope for a 2012 renaissance. Chance of a trade: 50 percentChris Ivory / Mark Ingram, Saints - Unless interim coach Joe Vitt was playing hard to get, Ivory is going to be stuck in purgatory at least through the end of the season. Vitt insisted Ivory is "going nowhere" at the deadline. A strong argument can be made that Ingram is the more sensible candidate to be moved, as his trade value is higher and the Saints have no use for a true feature back in their offense. NFL Films analyst Greg Cosell recently opined that Ingram would be a "wonderful foundation back" if plugged into the right offense. It's hard to imagine the Saints trading GM Mickey Loomis' 2011 first-rounder, though, while he's serving his Bountygate suspension.Chance of a trade: 10 percent.Dwayne Bowe, Chiefs - It's highly unusual for a high-profile receiver to change teams at the deadline, much less a franchise player. Lloyd made sense for the Rams last season because he had already mastered Josh McDaniels' offense in Denver. Bowe would be learning a new offense wherever he goes, which would obviously hamper his chances of making an impact down the stretch. Equally as prohibitive is Bowe's prorated salary of just over $5 million the rest of the way. Any team looking to acquire his services would have to fork over $11.418 million next season to apply the franchise tag. If the Chiefs do beat the long odds in finding a trade partner, I wouldn't hold out much hope for Jon Baldwin or Dexter McCluster the rest of the way. Newly anointed starter Brady Quinn isn't going to support a weekly fantasy asset.Chance of a trade: 10 percent.On to the players. Here is how I rank the top players at each position as we head into Week 9. Full write-ups of each player are below. QuarterbacksNick Foles Blaine Gabbert Russell WilsonMatt Moore Running BacksJonathan Dwyer Darryl Richardson LeGarrette Blount
James Starks
Joique BellRonnie Hillman Ronnie Brown Jacquizz Rodgers Daniel Thomas Wide ReceiversDanny Amendola Titus Young Cecil Shorts Ryan BroylesChris Givens Brandon LaFell Alshon Jeffery Dexter McCluster Tight EndsDustin Keller Greg Olsen Brandon Myers Dwayne Allen Kellen Davis Team DefenseChargersDolphinsQuarterbacksNick Foles, Eagles - We haven't heard as much as a peep out of Philadelphia Tuesday morning. The last we heard Monday night, neither Michael Vick nor Foles had been informed of a quarterback switch. It makes all of the sense in the world for the Eagles to stick with Vick, who has shown better than usual accuracy over the past three games.
If Foles gets the call, however, he immediately becomes relevant in fantasy circles versus a historically bad Saints defense. New Orleans is not just the first team in NFL history to allow 400+ yards in seven consecutive games; they've also allowed more yards through seven games (3,321) than any team in NFL history. Foles would be a risk/reward QB1 option if coach Andy Reid opts to turn the page.Recommendation: Worth a look in all leagues.Blaine Gabbert, Jaguars - After a career-high 303 yards at Green Bay, it can be argued that Gabbert has shown promise in three of the past four games -- with the lone exception coming against the Bears' shut-down defense. Gabbert produced a career-high 67.6 completion percentage in Week 4 (Bengals), was knocked out of the Week 7 Raiders game with a career-high 123.6 passer rating and notched his first 300-yard game a week ago. While fantasy owners should remain skeptical, Jaguars GM Gene Smith has to be thrilled that Gabbert is finally looking like a legit prospect.Recommendation: Worth a look in deeper leagues.Russell Wilson, Seahawks - In a rare turn of events, it was Seattle's vaunted defense that let down the passing attack at Detroit. Wilson showed veteran savvy in command of the offense and decision-making. After failing to top 200 yards in any of the first four games, Wilson has averaged 218 over the past four. He's a decent QB2 option against a Vikings defense allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Recommendation: Worth a look in deeper leagues. Matt Moore, Dolphins - Starter Ryan Tannehill's Week 9 status is up in the air after being diagnosed with a left knee bone bruise and deep thigh bruise on Monday. Moore was an effective game manager in relief of Tannehill last week. If he gets the starting nod at Indianapolis, Moore is fantasy option only in two-quarterback leagues. The Dolphins will go with a run-heavy game plan regardless.Recommendation: Worth a look in two-quarterback leagues. Watch List: Matt Cassel, Tim Tebow, Jake LockerWith Brady Quinn (concussion) out on a short week, turnover machine Cassel will be under center versus the Chargers. The Chiefs QB is only relevant in two-quarterback leagues. … The Jets are sticking with Mark Sanchez for now, but he's fallen apart at the seams any time there's been a hint of defensive pressure in the pocket. Sanchez has over- or under-thrown 23.4 percent of his passes this season, the highest rate in the NFL. The leash can't be long. … Yet to receive medical clearance, Locker isn't going to play before the Week 11 bye.
If Foles gets the call, however, he immediately becomes relevant in fantasy circles versus a historically bad Saints defense. New Orleans is not just the first team in NFL history to allow 400+ yards in seven consecutive games; they've also allowed more yards through seven games (3,321) than any team in NFL history. Foles would be a risk/reward QB1 option if coach Andy Reid opts to turn the page.Recommendation: Worth a look in all leagues.Blaine Gabbert, Jaguars - After a career-high 303 yards at Green Bay, it can be argued that Gabbert has shown promise in three of the past four games -- with the lone exception coming against the Bears' shut-down defense.

Moore was an effective game manager in relief of Tannehill last week. If he gets the starting nod at Indianapolis, Moore is fantasy option only in two-quarterback leagues.

The Chiefs QB is only relevant in two-quarterback leagues. … The Jets are sticking with Mark Sanchez for now, but he's fallen apart at the seams any time there's been a hint of defensive pressure in the pocket. Sanchez has over- or under-thrown 23.4 percent of his passes this season, the highest rate in the NFL. The leash can't be long. … Yet to receive medical clearance, Locker isn't going to play before the Week 11 bye.Running BacksJonathan Dwyer, Steelers - Keep an eye on Dwyer's quad injury, which will keep him out of Wednesday's practice. The Steelers tentatively expect him back by Thursday, but the injury may lead to his fantasy window prematurely closing if it's decided that he's not healthy enough to carry the load with Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) already gaining clearance for Week 9.
If the quad injury is indeed minor, Dwyer has earned the early-down role by accomplish a feat in two starts that has eluded Mendenhall in five years -- back-to-back 100-yard games. Dwyer has done it in impressive fashion, gaining 187 of 239 (78.2 percent) after contact. With Mendenhall reaching free agency in 2013, it's not unreasonable to believe Dwyer should hold onto the starting gig for the rest of the reason.Recommendation: Should be owned in all leagues.Darryl Richardson, Rams - Mr. Outside to Steven Jackson's Mr. Inside, Richardson is averaging 76 scrimmage yards per game since the Rams made an effort to expand his role in the game plan three weeks ago. The team's use of Richardson suggests he would share the load with Isaiah Pead in the event of a Jackson trade. The latest report from ESPN's John Clayton is that there is "no action right now" on Jackson, whose $3.705 million in remaining salary may be prohibitive. Richardson is worth owning as a flex option regardless. His value could bump to RB2 range if a contender splurges on Jackson.Recommendation: Worth a look in all leagues. LeGarrette Blount, Buccaneers - With less than $300,000 remaining on his salary and likely to cost no more than a late-round pick, Blount may be the most likely candidate to be traded this week. He's never going to be an asset on passing downs and would only stumble into weekly fantasy value if he lands in a clear-cut early-down role in a place like Green Bay. Blount can be picked up as a trade deadline flier, but expectations should remain low. Recommendation: Worth a look in all leagues. James Starks, Packers - Alex Green has been running hard, but his ability to read holes has left a lot to be desired. Working as the unquestioned feature back the past three games, Green has managed just 2.40 yards per carry. Coach Mike McCarthy has expressed disappointment with his running game over the past two games. The Packers are a good bet to at least explore trade options this week. If the swing and miss, Starks is the next man up to put pressure on Green for the starting job. Recommendation: Worth a look in 12-team leagues. Joique Bell, Lions - Coach Jim Schwartz's handling of Mikel Leshoure leaves us to interpret the starter's disappearing act in the final quarter and a half versus the Seahawks. Leshoure limped off the field grabbing his calf or ankle with six minutes left in the third quarter. Matthew Stafford threw an interception on the next throw. Bell and Kevin Smith handled the entire drive late in the third quarter and early in the fourth while Leshoure presumably had the lower-leg injury checked out. After a lengthy Seahawks scoring drive, the Lions got the ball back one more time while playing from behind. Leshoure remained sidelined, which is hardly unusual. Bell has been handling the no-huddle, two-minute drill snaps for weeks now.
Schwartz insisted after the game that Leshoure was uninjured. If he can be trusted -- and he usually cannot -- then Leshoure should practice Wednesday and start at Jacksonville. Bell remains the change-of-pace option, two-minute specialist and fourth-quarter closer, but he's not overtaking a healthy Leshoure. Recommendation: Worth a look in 12-team leagues. Ronnie Hillman, Broncos - Don't go crazy over the speedy rookie's 86 yards on 14 carries Sunday night. The events surrounding Hillman's breakout game won't happen again. Facing a historically bad defense, Hillman saw an increased workload because the Broncos jumped out to a commanding 24-7 lead in the third quarter. Although Hillman isn't suddenly a weekly fantasy option, he remains a high-upside roster stash. Recommendation: Worth a look in 12-team leagues. Ronnie Brown, Chargers - Philip Rivers has morphed into a checkdown artist, throwing 29 percent of his passes to tailbacks this season. Brown surprisingly has accrued not only more receiving yards than Ray Rice, but also the second-most among all running backs (behind Darren Sproles). Averaging six receptions and over 50 receiving yards per game over the past month, Brown has emerged as a decent flex option in PPR leagues. Recommendation: Worth a look in PPR leagues.Jacquizz Rodgers, Falcons - Atlanta's third-down back is coming off his best game of the season, thanks to a 43-yard run -- the longest allowed by the Eagles this season. Prior to that breaking free on that run, however, Rodgers had shown precious little big-play ability on the ground. In denial about Michael Turner's ineffectiveness, the Falcons have shown no inclination to reduce the starter's role. Rodgers remains a low-upside flex option best used in PPR formats. Recommendation: Worth a look in PPR leagues. Daniel Thomas, Dolphins - Returning from a concussion, Thomas played more than twice as many snaps as Reggie Bush (43 to 20) in last week's blowout victory. That pattern isn't going to continue, but Thomas appears to be locked in as the short-yardage power back with the Dolphins looking to lessen Bush's load in an effort to keep him healthy. Recommendation: Worth a look in 12-team leagues. Watch List: Beanie Wells, Cedric Benson, Shane Vereen, Peyton Hillis, Andre Brown, Toby Gerhart, Mike Tolbert, Robert Turbin, Evan Royster, Mike Goodson, Bernard Pierce, Justin Forsett, Bryce Brown, Isaiah PeadWells can't return before Week 12, Benson before Week 14. Barring a trade this week, both will return to major roles in the fantasy playoffs -- assuming they're back to full health. … Vereen should be rostered in most leagues, but that may be a luxury entering the bye week … The rest of the list is essentially handcuffs who could stumble into weekly fantasy value if the starter goes down. All handcuffs should be rostered ahead of low-upside WR5s and TE2s, especially if the bye-week crunch on your own team is over. … Keep an eye on Goodson's turf toe injury this week. … Pead's role would increase in a timeshare with Richardson if Steven Jackson is traded.Cut Bait: Phillip Tanner, Montario Hardesty, Jackie Battle, Bilal Powell, Isaac RedmanDeMarco Murray (foot) has a chance to return this week. Tanner saw just two carries versus the Giants. … Hardesty has no weekly role with Trent Richardson close to full health. … Battle hasn't had value in weeks. … An injured Powell isn't worth the roster spot with Shonn Greene playing better. … Redman's role is going to be limited to third downs. Wide ReceiversDanny Amendola, Rams - Amendola isn't viewed as a difference-making talent, but the Rams are 10-11 with him in the lineup the past three years -- and 2-17 when he sits out. Noting that Amendola was separating with ease, running more downfield and outside-the-numbers routes, and showing improved after-catch ability early this season, I pulled the trigger on a Dynasty league trade for him after his clavicle injury. A top-15 fantasy receiver (in points per game to date) even in standard-scoring formats, Amendola is still unowned in roughly half of Yahoo leagues. With the possibility of a monster second half, he should be picked up in the remaining leagues this week. Recommendation: Should be owned in all leagues.Titus Young, Lions - I'm shocked to find that Young is owned in just 40 percent of Yahoo leagues after he was a no-brainer recommendation last week. In a breakout game versus the Seahawks' stout pass defense, Young became the first Lions starting receiver since 2001 to catch all of his intended targets in a game. He also joined Randall Cobb as the only receivers this season to record a perfect catch percentage on at least eight targets. Young is an every-down receiver with elite speed facing single coverage afforded by the presence of Calvin Johnson. He's here to stay as an upside WR3 option.Recommendation: Should be owned in all leagues. Cecil Shorts, Jaguars - Shorts has essentially played five quarters as a starter with Blaine Gabbert under center, producing a 10/177/1 line on 16 targets. With an average of 11 targets, six receptions and 97.5 yards the past two weeks, Shorts should be locked into the No. 1 receiver role regardless of Laurent Robinson's (concussion) health. His fantasy viability depends on your faith in Gabbert's progress. I remain skeptical that the Jags passing attack can support a reliable WR3 option week-in and week-out. Recommendation: Worth a look in 12-team leagues. Ryan Broyles, Lions - Routes run by Lions receivers in Week 8: Titus Young (50), Calvin Johnson (49), Broyles (23). Detroit's new slot receiver played 34-of-73 snaps, essentially splitting the third receiver role with No. 2 tight end Tony Scheffler. Broyles has been a favorite red-zone target of Matthew Stafford the past two weeks, but he's going to need to put distance between himself and Scheffler before he gains weekly fantasy value. In the meantime, Broyles should be stashed in 12 team leagues. Recommendation: Worth a look in 12-team leagues. Chris Givens, Rams - The fourth-round rookie speedster is the first player since Detroit's Pat Studstill (1966) with a reception of 50+ yards in five consecutive games. Essentially a poor man's DeSean Jackson, Givens should hold onto a starting role opposite Danny Amendola in the second half of the season. Although Givens is worthy of a roster spot in 12-team leagues, he can't be counted on as a Week 9 starter because the Rams are on bye.Recommendation: Worth a look in 12-team leagues. Brandon LaFell, Panthers - LaFell's role is on the rise again after a late September swoon. He's now topped 50 yards in four of seven games and is 44th in fantasy points on the season. Those desperate for a WR3 option can point to LaFell's Week 9 matchup against a Redskins secondary that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.Recommendation: Worth a look as a matchup play.Alshon Jeffery, Bears - Jeffery (fractured hand) is reportedly targeted Week 10 for his return to game action. Devin Hester has predictably offered very little production as a starter in the rookie's absence. Jeffery was averaging just 37 yards per game prior to the injury, so keep expectations low. He's a talented but raw roster stash. Recommendation: Worth a look as a roster stash.Dexter McCluster, Chiefs - We've reached the underwhelming portion of the wide receiver list. McCluster has sandwiched 82- and 69-yard outings in Weeks 1 and 8 around four games of fewer than 40 yards. Those in PPR leagues can cite his back-to-back six-catch games and the possibility of an increased role if the Chiefs can unload Dwayne Bowe's remaining $5 million this week.Recommendation: Worth a look in deeper PPR leagues. Watch List: Justin Blackmon, Clyde Gates, Marvin Jones, Vincent BrownBlackmon can't break out of his rookie funk. His effort at the end of last week's game was questionable to say the least. … Hold off on Gates. He did all of his damage in garbage time and remains low on the depth chart. … Jones is a name to watch in deeper leagues. The Bengals had plans to increase his role before the bye, only to see him go down with an MCL tear on the opening kickoff. … Brown isn't close to returning. Cut Bait: Robert Meachem, Devin Hester, Leonard Hankerson, Kevin Ogletree, Domenik Hixon, Devery HendersonA whopping 62 percent of Meachem's fantasy production has come in one game. He's been held without a catch three times. Owner Dean Spanos should point to the Meachem signing in dumping autocratic GM A.J. Smith after the season. … Hester never has fantasy value. … Hankerson isn't going to be a recommended Week 9 starter after his one-catch performance at Pittsburgh. The Redskins have a bye in Week 10. … Ogletree has done nothing since the season opener. … Hixon can be dropped for a running back handcuff. … Ditto Henderson.Tight EndsDustin Keller, Jets - Fantasy owners are asleep at wheel after Keller's early-season hamstring injury. Despite averaging seven catches and 80 yards over the past two games, Keller remains unowned in over half of Yahoo leagues. If you plan to pluck him from the wire this week, be warned that the Jets are on their bye. Recommendation: Should be owned in 12-team leagues.Greg Olsen, Panthers - Olsen is owned in just over half of Yahoo leagues due to a three-game slump that has coincided with Steve Smith returning to full health after battling knee pain. If Olsen is available in your league, though, he has an excellent matchup this week against a Redskins defense that has given up the second-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Recommendation: Worth a look as a matchup play. Brandon Myers, Raiders - Would you believe only five tight ends have more than Myers' 383 yards this season? Myers has been a model of consistency, topping 40 yards in six of seven games. The problem is his 21st-place fantasy ranking because he's yet to find the end zone and doesn't make plays after the catch. Recommendation: Worth a look in 12-team leagues. Dwayne Allen, Colts - The third-rounder continues to outplay the more ballyhooed Coby Fleener, grading out as Pro Football Focus' No. 4 all-around tight end this season. Allen is averaging just 34 yards over the past five games, though, so he's a low-upside option versus a Dolphins defense allowing the 19th-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Recommendation: Worth a look in deeper leagues. Kellen Davis, Bears - Know this up front: Jay Cutler rarely looks at his tight ends. Davis has exceeded five targets just once this season. The athletic tight end isn't bereft of pass-catching ability, though, and the matchup couldn't be better against a Titans defense that was picked on by Dwayne Allen early in last week's game. No defense has allowed more fantasy points to opposing tight ends this year.Recommendation: Worth a look as a desperation matchup play. Watch List: Logan Paulsen, Tony MoeakiPaulsen played 95 percent of the snaps last week while Chris Cooley ran just five pass routes. The problem is Paulsen has just one game as a low-end TE2 option before the Week 10 bye. … Moeaki saw a season-high eight targets, a sign that his knee might finally be coming around. He had been used as a blocking specialist to this point.Cut Bait: Dallas Clark, Anthony Fasano, David ThomasClark saw just three targets last week after his season-high 51 yards in garbage time the previous week. … Fasano plays against the Colts, who have surprisingly been the stingiest defense versus tight ends this year. Team DefenseChargers - The best-case scenario would have been facing a wholly ineffective Brady Quinn, but he couldn't gain clearance from his concussion on a short week. The fallback plan is Matt Cassel, author of 16 turnovers in five starts this season. Either way, the Chargers defense is gold this week.Recommendation: Worth a look as a matchup play.Dolphins - Miami has held opponents to 12 points per game over the past three weeks while averaging 4.5 sacks per game over the past month. They have a decent matchup at an Indianapolis team that had trouble giving Andrew Luck a clean pocket versus the Titans. Recommendation: Worth a look in 12-team leagues.

Aug. 11, 2011– Outdoors enthusiasts utilizing Russell Sage Wildlife Management Area (WMA) now have an additional 4,955 acres for hunting and other outdoor activities based on a lease agreement recently signed by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) and International Paper (IP).
"We are pleased to have been able to arrange this no cost lease agreement and make this announcement prior to the opening of the 2011-12 hunting season," said LDWF Secretary Robert Barham. "We will continue to negotiate with International Paper for eventual transfer of the property."
The newly leased acreage, north of the existing WMA land owned by LDWF, includes prime waterfowl habitat known locally as Wham Brake. The north Louisiana WMA, encompassing acreage in Morehouse, Ouachita and Richland Parishes, now totals 21,948 acres with IP leased acres included.
"Wham Brake has a rich history as one of the premier waterfowl areas in northeast Louisiana," said IP's David Haynes. "International Paper made the area available to the public free of charge for more than 50 years. The fact that the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is taking over management of the area will ensure that continues in the future. We are grateful for their efforts to make this happen."
LDWF is allowing removal of duck blind structures or other private property within the Wham Brake acreage through Sept. 9, 2011. Additional time may be considered for removal, but hunting from any permanent structures will not be allowed. The department is interested in acquiring some existing blinds for possible use in youth waterfowl and Louisiana Hunting Heritage Program hunts, and will evaluate any structure offered for a possible transfer of ownership. The LDWF Monroe field office can be contacted for more information at 318-343-4044.
The existing WMA property provides two greentree waterfowl impoundments totaling 2,400 acres, utilized by species including mallards, wood ducks, and other non-game species. Public hunting options are also available for deer, squirrel, rabbit and woodcock, and a primitive camping area is provided north of U.S. Highway 80.
For more information and directions to Russell Sage WMA, visit the LDWF web site at http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/wma [4] or contact Jerald Owens or Charles Booth at 318-343-4044.
The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.louisiana.gov [5] on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffb [6] or follow us on Twitter @LDWF.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- Barry University's George Samuel was named the Intercollegiate Tennis Association South Region Men's Tennis Coach of the Year.
"It's a great privilege and honor to be recognized by my peer coaches for the efforts made that have had such a successful impact on the success of the tennis season," Samuel said. "However, it certainly would not have been possible to receive such an award without the help of my assistant coaches who have worked equally hard for the success we have had."
Samuel won the ITA National Coach of the Year award in 1999. Earlier this year, Samuel picked up his 400th career victory with the Bucs men's program.
His No. 1-ranked Buccaneers (25-0) play No. 32 Northwood (17-4) at 10 a.m. EST Wednesday in the NCAA Division II Championships Round of 16 in Surprise, Ariz.
Barry completed its first unbeaten regular season in school history this year.
The ITA National Coach of the Year and other awards will be announced Tuesday at a banquet in Surprise.

Leah Kelley went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI as Yale topped Fairleigh Dickinson 5-3 in the first game of a college softball doubleheader. Kelley's two-run single in the second inning opened the scoring. Jesseka Bartholomew, who had three hits, followed with an RBI single to give the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead. Yale added single runs in the fourth and sixth. Peggy Hunt pitched a complete game, scattering 10 hits and allowing only one earned run. Serena Larsen had an RBI double in the first and a two-run single in the fourth for Fairleigh Dickinson (5-33).
In the second game, Jillian Miles tossed a complete game, allowing only five hits and striking out four as Yale cruised to a 6-1 victory. Laura Beckert and Chelsea Kanyer each had two hits for the Bulldogs, who went 25-9 in their final 34 games. Yale, which ends the season with a 27-23 overall record, scored twice in the first inning and three times in the second. Kimberly Farhat had an RBI single for the Knights.
Bartholomew had four hits in the doubleheader for Yale but finished her career with 187 hits, one shy of the school record held by Kathy Ching '00. Beckert, playing in her final game at Yale, extended her hitting streak to 17 games. Jackie Crispell, who also was making her final appearance in a Yale uniform, went 1-for-3 in the first game.

Since the contest for Game 3 garnered good attention. Congratulations to Armit Gill of Coquitlam in winning to viewing party seats to Game 3. I'd like extend it for Game 4. There are a few Canucks that could be possible candidates for the Conn Smythe Trophy. My choice right now? It would probably Alex Burrows. He's tied with Daniel Sedin for goals in the playoffs, for the Canucks with nine. He's scored timely OT goals to win a series and to put the Canucks up two games to none in the Stanley Cup Final.
1.Post a comment on here as to who your candidate would be, and why?
2. Cut/Paste or Retweet
I want to go to the Rogers Arena Game 4 Viewing Party courtesy of @CanucksCorner and @Aviewfromabroad http://canuckscorner.com/?p=2065
As I did for Game 3, I will deliver your tickets right in your hand. I'll announce the winner tomorrow afternoon on Twitter and on this page.
Good Luck and Go Canucks Go!

Maine Governor to Showcase Refurbished Bus Program
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - Maine Gov. Paul LePage is supporting a program that rebuilds old transit buses to extend their life and save money.
The Republican governor will speak at an event at the Capitol on Wednesday hosted by the Maine Military Authority, a company that refurbishes buses. The event will feature a transit bus that has been fixed up.
LePage signed an Executive Order establishing a school bus refurbishing program in 2011. Since then Maine Military Authority has teamed up with the Department of Education to rebuild 15 school buses. His office says that has saved schools about $750,000.
The program that will be touted on Wednesday will be a similar program, but with transit buses.

|Not Applicable
Based on the observation that African Americans are vastly more likely than their white and Hispanic counterparts to be infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has termed AIDS a "health crisis" for African Americans and has called for a heightened national response to this glaring racial disparity. The crisis is especially dramatic in the Southern United States. Thus, the search for effective interventions tailored to this population is a national priority. This study expands upon a previous study conducted among young African American men. In the previous study we developed and tested the efficacy of a brief, clinic-based, program designed to interactively promote safer sex for African American men (18 to 29 years of age) engaging in sex with women. Adjusted findings from the previous study provided relatively robust support for program efficacy, with men who received the intervention program being about two-thirds less likely, than controls, to acquire an STI during a 6-month period. This study expands on the work performed in the previous study by developing and testing a version for younger African American males (i.e., teen males).
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a brief, clinic-based and theory-guided, intervention designed to reduce STI incidence among African American teen (15 to 20 years old) males presenting themselves for STI testing.
|Study Type :

|Active Comparator: Male Sexual Health Program
Behavioral: Male Sexual Health Program
An attention equivalent control condition entailing a 60-minute one-to-one session that will didactically teach teens about several aspects of male sexual health. The content and objectives are related only to knowledge acquisition. In addition to this program, teens randomized to the control condition will receive standard-of-care services from the clinic. This involves the provision of free condoms (one size "fits all" condoms) and a brief (nurse-delivered) counseling message to practice safer sex.
|Experimental: Focus on the Future Program
Behavioral: Focus on the Future Program
A 60-minute, theory-guided program designed to increase the quality and frequency of teens' condom use within the context of making safer choices regarding partners and sexual behaviors. The program is explicitly designed to increase the quality and frequency of teen's condom use.
- Incidence rate of laboratory-confirmed STIs [ Time Frame: 2- and 6-month follow-up, as well as 12-month follow-up medical records review ]
- Self-report of unprotected penetrative sex (past 30 days) [ Time Frame: 2- and 6-month follow-up ]
- Self-report of number of penetrative (penile-vaginal or penile-anal) sex partners (past 30 days) [ Time Frame: 2 and 6-month follow-up ]
- Self-report of negative experiences with the correct use of condoms (past 30 days) [ Time Frame: 2- and 6-month follow-up ]

This is Page 2 of a four page article, plus 10 pages of recipes, on McCormick's flavor trends for 2010. Click on the black links below to view all 10 flavor pairings.
Caraway seeds are actually a fruit, not a seed. The caraway plant looks similar to a carrot plant, with feathery leaves and thread-like divisions. The "seeds" are small, crescent-shaped achenes (an achene is a one-seeded fruit; the seed has a thin wall, such as a sunflower seed). Caraway seeds have a licorice-like flavor and are frequently used in rye breads, crackers, cheeses and liqueurs. (We love to mix them into sauerkraut, too.)
"Bitter greens" refers to a variety of dark green, leafy vegetables, including spinach, collards, chard and kale. The name "bitter greens" is no misnomer. When cooked, these veggies have a distinctive (and desirable) bitter flavor that juxtaposes well against other strong flavors. Examples include collards cooked with bacon or spinach salad topped with a sweet lemon poppyseed dressing.
Try this recipe for Grilled Bitter Greens with Caraway Peach Dressing, in which the unmistakable caraway spice tames the bitter bite of bold greens.
By the way, caraway was also an early candy, dating back to at least the 17th century. Tiny seeds coated with many layers of sugar were a popular confection known as a comfit (not confit). The original sugarplums were sugar-coated coriander (the seeds of cilantro); aniseed and caraway were other popular comfits.
Chives are the smallest member of the onion family. The part used for culinary dishes is the thin, hollow, tubular leaves that resemble large stalks of grass. Mild in flavor, chives are used in a multitude of dishes, including dips, potatoes, fish and eggs, and is especially prevalent in French cuisine. Chives are also a lovely garnish, whole or chopped.
Fish sauce is an Asian condiment derived from fermented fish. If that sounds odd, that's what Worcestershire sauce is; and the ancient Romans' favorite condiment was a fermented fish sauce called garum.
Different countries have their own ways of preparing the sauce, but anchovies are used most often (in Worcestershire sauce, garum, the nam pla of Thailand and Vietnam, and others); some nations or regions use shellfish (for example, belachan, or shrimp paste, in Malaysia), squid or other small fish. (The flavor is usually quite strong, so only a small amount is required for most dishes. Fish sauce can be purchased in Asian grocery stores or the Asian section of most supermarkets.
Recipe: Try this "Deconstructed" Spring Roll Salad With Pork Hors D'Oeuvres, and taste the fusion of French and Asian cuisine. You can enjoy the chive and fish sauce dressing on many other recipes, too.
Creole mustard is a staple in New Orleans cuisine. It is grainier in appearance and tastes tangier than other mustards due to its higher concentration of brown mustard seeds. (Today, some products labeled "Creole mustard" are sweet-style mustards made with molasses. Check the label before purchasing. See our Mustard Glossary for more information on the many types of mustard.)
Creole mustard can be used as a sandwich condiment, a marinade for meat, a dip and incorporated into seafood dishes.
Seafood is often served with a sauce or dip that has a bit of pungency or heat (think horseradish in cocktail sauce). Creole mustard is especially tasty when used as the base for Creole-style rémoulade sauce, a perfect accent to fried fish, or incorporated into breaded seafood dishes such as crab cakes or fishburgers.
Recipe: Try this classic southern recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes with Crab & Creole Mustard. And whip up a Creole mustard dip in addition to/instead of a tomato-based cocktail sauce for your next shrimp cocktail or raw bar. (Use your favorite dip base—fat free yogurt, mayonnaise, sour cream, etc., or a combination. Add mustard to taste along with a complementary fresh herb—chives, thyme, etc.)

Astute readers will recall that Gates recently pointed to a 2006 release date, waxing philosophical in the most strange of ways about how the release date will work. In what follows, Gates' masterful quote has not been changed, but merely reformatted to deliver it's true potential. Here's Gates on how we're getting Longhorn by 2006:
This Is Not a Date-Driven Release
We have things where we say
The train is leaving on this date
Whoever has their act totally together
By that date the train will leave
And the train could have a lot of people on it
Or it could be
Fairly empty
--W.H. Gates III
(We have reader Zarquon to thank for recognizing Gates' literary potential.) Gates' prolific statement failed to reveal too much about what he expects to be aboard that train, but two internal e-mails intercepted by Business Week show that Longhorn will be following in the proud footsteps of Windows 2003, being released without significant portions of its planned advancements. One such casualty will be WinFS, which is now being scaled back to only support the local file system as opposed to networked resources. Of course, those with their ear to the ground know that WinFS has already been reconceptualized more than once, moving from a purely database-driven system to what is now expected to be nothing more than a complexified indexing agent that's laden with metadata improvements. Officially, Microsoft is silent on the matter, but it appears as though WinFS will not truly come of age until the end of the decade, with Blackcomb.
As a result of scaling back, the next planned version of Office (originally slated to operate only with Longhorn) will now have to work with previous versions of Windows. The scaling back also means that Microsoft is apparently serious about a 2006 release date, obviating the need for a true interim release. The potential interim OS release, codenamed Oasis, has been shelved. Rather, as we reported in our early coverage of Windows XP Reloaded, the project will end up being "nothing other than a marketing campaign." But wait, it gets even more confusing.
There is a new Windows version coming out: Windows XP Premium. Premium will not be available in box or OEM distribution, as Microsoft is planning to follow its Media Center Edition policy and make it only available on brand new computers.
Windows XP Professional with an updated version of Windows Media Player. Premium will be available only on new PCs, not in boxes at retail. The new media player software lets online music stores -- including one that Microsoft plans to launch later this year -- snap right into the design, so that users can easily buy music from inside the player application. The software will also work seamlessly with the Portable Media Player, handheld devices that run Microsoft software. The first devices, made by Creative Technology (CREAF ), iRiver, and Samsung, will debut later this year.
This is sad news, as Microsoft's decision to keep some of its more interesting products out of the retail box market has robbed perfectly good enthusiasts of the opportunity to build their own Media Center Edition and now Premium Edition PCs.

There was excitement surrounding the Skyline football program again this year. After a miserable 2012 campaign in which the team went winless, the Thunderbirds rebounded this season with a winning record of 5-4.
There was excitement surrounding the Skyline football program again this year. After a miserable 2012 campaign in which the team went winless, the Thunderbirds rebounded this season with a winning record of 5-4. "The kids used last season as a motivator," observed Skyline head coach Jon Novotny. "It made them want to work hard in the off-season, and then during the season, to make sure that didn't happen again." It didn't happen again. The T-Birds opened the season with a loss to South Barber, but they broke into the winning column in week 2 at Cunningham, the team's first victory since 2011. That was followed by a loss to South Central, but then the second win came against Otis-Bison. At 2-2, Skyline then faced two tough opponents in Fairfield and Kiowa County, which dropped their record to 2-4. At that point of the season, having been removed from playoff contention, Novotny knew his team needed something to play for, so he challenged them to win their final three games and make 2013 a winning season. That's just what the T-Birds did, as they defeated St. John and Macksville in successive weeks, then accomplished the winning season by outlasting Kinsley in the season's final contest, giving themselves a 3-game winning streak in the process. "I was very pleased the way we finished on a positive note," mentioned Coach Novotny. "To see the kids buckle down and put forth the time and energy needed to win those last three games against some tough teams was very gratifying." "One thing that really improved for us was our mental toughness," Novotny continued. "A lot of times at this level, confidence trumps talent, and as our mental toughness improved as the season went on, you could see the kids reinforcing each other. That helped us fight through some of those tough games that could have gone either way, but our kids were learning how to win." For their efforts, seven T-Birds were named to the All-District VI 8-man teams, which is the equivalent of all-league. 8-man teams do not usually play a league schedule, given that they have 5 or 6 district games to play. Other teams in District VI are Macksville, St. John, Kiowa County, Fairfield, Kinsley and South Central. Dustin Weber received dual first team honors as a running back and as a defensive back. Landon Lee was named first team offensive line and Daniel Hacker made first team at linebacker. Second team offense nods went to Layton Kenworthy at OL and Daniel Hacker at RB. Brady McComb was recognized at D-line and Cole Patterson was second team punter. Honorable mentions went to Cole Patterson at QB and Brandon Abbott as a receiver. "It was good to see so many of our kids get that recognition," Novotny said, "especially considering the number of tough teams and good athletes in our district." Weber led the T-Birds in rushing this season with 1,412 yds and 21 TDs. Daniel Hacker added 520 yds and 9 TDs. Cole Patterson threw for 56 yards per game from the QB spot. Defensive leaders were Hacker with 80 tackles, Weber with 51 tackles and an INT, and Brady McComb with 69 tackles and 6 sacks. As a team, the T-Birds offense was a juggernaut, especially in the latter stages of the season. They averaged 333 yards per game, with 272 of that coming on the ground and 61 through the air. The future looks bright for the T-Birds as quarterback Cole Patterson and receiver Brandon Abbott are the only starters who will be lost to graduation. "We're going to miss their versatility," Coach Novotny said of his departing seniors. "It may take more than just one guy to replace each of them." The T-Birds did not accomplish one of their team goals this season—reaching the playoffs. But the coaching staff and returning players are excited about 2014. After suffering through the growing pains of 2012, then learning how to win in 2013, the Skyline Thunderbirds could be on the brink of a special season next year.

From Arkansans for Compassionate Care
TThis initiative petition will allow sick and dying Arkansans the ability to use medical marijuana for serious debilitating medical conditions with a doctors recommendation, and to allow patients to purchase their medicine at a tightly regulated not-for-profit dispensary.
You can read the full text of the initiative here.
Vote YES on Arkansas' Medical Marijuana Initiative.
Campaign Website: www.regulatemarijuana.org
From NORML
The initiative to regulate marijuana like alcohol, Amendment 64, will appear on the November 2012 ballot in Colorado.
NORML enthusiastically endorses the Amendment 64. It restores the rights of adults who find marijuana a safer alternative to alcohol and tobacco. It preserves the rights of patients for whom marijuana is a safe and effective alternative to potentially addictive and fatal prescription drugs.
The Act removes all statewide civil and criminal penalties for the adult personal possession of up to one ounce of marijuana. It also allows the home-growing of up to six marijuana plants in an enclosed locked space, the number allowed under current medical marijuana laws. It does not change existing regulations for medical marijuana.
NORML further supports the longer-term goals of this measure, which include the creation and regulation of a legal, state-licensed commercial and retail market for cannabis production and sales to those over the age of 21.
Having represented the interests of responsible marijuana smokers since 1970, NORML is proud to have played a cooperative role in the drafting of the initiative as part of a broad-based coalition of state and national organizations which includes the ACLU of Colorado, SAFER, Sensible Colorado, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, Students for Sensible Drug Policy, the Drug Policy Alliance and the Marijuana Policy Project.
Vote YES on Amendment 64.
From Massachusetts Patients Advocacy Alliance:
This inititiave will provide Massachusetts Patients with certain medical conditions access to medical marijuana. It would enable patients to obtain medical marijuana from a limited number of non-profit treatment centers regulated by the state Department of Public Health using a registration card issued after their doctor provides written certification.
The ballot language reads: "A yes vote would enact the proposed law eliminating state criminal and civil penalties related to the medical use of marijuana by patients meeting certain conditions" and that patients will be to procure cannabis "produced and distributed by new state-regulated centers or, in specific hardship cases, to grow marijuana for their own use."
Full text of the initiative can be read here.
Vote YES on the Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Initiative.
From Ballotpedia:
The Montana Medical Marijuana Referendum will appear on the November 6, 2012 ballot in the state of Montana as a veto referendum, called Initiative Referendum No. 124[1]. The measure will place a legislative revision of an approved 2004 medical marijuana measure to a vote, instead of making it a law automatically. The measure was slated to become a law on May 13, 2011. The petition to place the legislation on the ballot was filed with the Montana Secretary of State by John Masterson of Montana NORML on May 12, 2011.
Implementation of SB 423 would essentially mean repeal of Montana's 2004 voter approved medical marijuana law. The official ballot language reads as follows:
[ ] FOR Senate Bill 423, a bill which repeals I-148 and enacts a new medical marijuana program.
[ ] AGAINST Senate Bill 423, a bill which repeals I-148 and enacts a new medical marijuana program. A vote against Senate Bill 423 will restore I-148
Vote AGAINST SB 423.

From OCTA
The Oregon Cannabis Tax Act 2012 is a citizen's initiative campaign to regulate cannabis and restore industrial hemp. Our goal is to protect Oregon's children and increase public safety by creating a series of regulations around the growth and sale of cannabis and industrial hemp. Just as ending alcohol prohibition and regulating that market has protected society, regulating cannabis will help keep cannabis away from children and ensure marijuana is only sold to adults over the age of 21.
Currently the state of Oregon spends $61.5 million in law enforcement, corrections, and judicial costs, just on the enforcement of cannabis related incidents. Not only would this Act eliminate most of those costs, it would generate over $140 million a YEAR by taxing commercial cannabis sales to adults.
The Oregon Cannabis Tax Act will restore the hemp industry. Hemp, made from the seeds and stems of the cannabis plant, can be used for food products, clothing, fuel, paper and more. This Act will continue Oregon's legacy as a sustainability leader and create green jobs in a time when our economy is still struggling.
90% of the proceeds will go into the state general fund, 7% for drug treatment programs, 1% each for drug education in public schools, and two new state commissions to promote hemp biofuel and hemp fiber and food
Vote YES on Measure 80.
Campaign Website: www.newapproachwa.org
Washington State Initiative Measure No. 502 (I-502) would license and regulate marijuana production, distribution, and possession for persons over twenty-one; remove state-law criminal and civil penalties for activities that it authorizes; tax marijuana sales; and earmark marijuana-related revenues.
This measure would remove state-law prohibitions against producing, processing, and selling marijuana, subject to licensing and regulation by the liquor control board; allow limited possession of marijuana by persons aged twenty-one and over; and impose 25% excise taxes on wholesale and retail sales of marijuana, earmarking revenue for purposes that include substance-abuse prevention, research, education, and healthcare. Laws prohibiting driving under the influence would be amended to include maximum thresholds for THC blood concentration.
Vote YES on Initiative 502.
From Ballotpedia:
A Detroit City Marijuana Decriminalization Question will be on the November 6, 2012 ballot in the city of Detroit, which is in Wayne County. This measure seeks to remove penalties for adults over the age of 21 if they are in possession of 1 ounce of marijuana or less.

Public Statements:
"We're not going to be legalizing weed anytime soon. What we are trying to do is that when it comes to drugs is that we are not just thinking about it with law enforcement, but we're also thinking about treating it as a public health problem."
- Late Night With Jimmy Fallon (April 2012)
"I think it is entirely legitimate to have a conversation about whether the laws in place are doing more harm than good, in certain places. I personally, and my administration's position, is legalization is not the answer. In fact, if you think about how it would end up operating, the capacity of a large-scale drug trade to dominate certain countries if they were allowed to operate legally, without any restraint, could be just as corrupting, if not more corrupting, than the status quo.
Nevertheless I am big believer in looking at the evidence, having a debate.."
- Summit of the Americas (April 2012)
What I specifically said was that we were not going to prioritize prosecutions of persons who are using medical marijuana. I never made a commitment that somehow we were going to give carte blanche to large-scale producers and operators of marijuana – and the reason is, because it's against federal law. I can't nullify congressional law. I can't ask the Justice Department to say, "Ignore completely a federal law that's on the books." What I can say is, "Use your prosecutorial discretion and properly prioritize your resources to go after things that are really doing folks damage." As a consequence, there haven't been prosecutions of users of marijuana for medical purposes.
The only tension that's come up – and this gets hyped up a lot – is a murky area where you have large-scale, commercial operations that may supply medical marijuana users, but in some cases may also be supplying recreational users. In that situation, we put the Justice Department in a very difficult place if we're telling them, "This is supposed to be against the law, but we want you to turn the other way." That's not something we're going to do. I do think it's important and useful to have a broader debate about our drug laws.
- Rolling Stone Interview (April 2012)
"Q: If you can't legalize marijuana, why can't you just legalize medical marijuana to help the people who need it?
Obama: Well, a lot of states are making decisions about medical marijuana. As a controlled substance, the issued then is, is it being perscribed by a doctor as a opposed to well...you know...I'll leave it at that...um.."

And those who have had loved ones that have gone through an end of life with cancer know nature of real pain. I watched my wife's mom and dad going through cancer treatments suffering a great deal of pain, but they didn't have marijuana, and they didn't need marijuana.

Public Statements:
Gary Johnson Will End the War on Drugs - Campaign Ad
Right now, 75 percent of the cartels' activities revolve around marijuana. I think as a nation, when we legalize marijuana, we're going to take giant steps toward drug reform, which will start off with looking at drugs as a public health issue, rather then a criminal justice issue. I just think legalizing marijuana [will cause] at least a 75 percent reduction in border violence due to the drugs [trade]."
- Raw Story (April 2012)
"Since 1999, I've advocated legalizing marijuana, I have always shied away from decriminalizing, because I think that turns its back on half the problem, which is the marketplace for marijuana. You've got to make it legal to sell it, otherwise if you just make it legal to possess it and use it, you just shift law enforcement resources to arresting those who sell it, and that's not going to be the answer."
- Raw Story (April 2012)
"I was a pile of bones. I was told to lay on the floor, and to stay laying down on the floor for six weeks, to eat off of the floor. I could get up and go to the bathroom. In that state somebody came by and said, 'Gary? Would marijuana help do you think?' And my response was immediately, 'Yes, I don't know why I didn't think of it, but I think that would help immensely.' And it did.
Whatever ails a person, that they should find relief in marijuana and not Percocet, I would think should be a situation of rejoice."
- On Personal Medical Use: HuffingtonPost (November 2011)
"Despite our best efforts at enforcement, education and interdiction, people continue to use and abuse illegal drugs.
The parallels between drug policy today and Prohibition in the 1920's are obvious, as are the lessons our nation learned. Prohibition was repealed because it made matters worse. Today, no one is trying to sell our kids bathtub gin in the schoolyard and micro-breweries aren't protecting their turf with machine guns. It's time to apply that thinking to marijuana. By making it a legal, regulated product, availability can be restricted, under-age use curtailed, enforcement/court/incarceration costs reduced, and the profit removed from a massive underground and criminal economy.
By managing marijuana like alcohol and tobacco – regulating, taxing and enforcing its lawful use – America will be better off. The billions saved on marijuana interdiction, along with the billions captured as legal revenue, can be redirected against the individuals committing real crimes against society."
- Drug Policy Position Statement: GaryJohnson2012.com
Q: Would you consider issuing a presidential pardon to non-violent drug offenders?
JOHNSON: Yes. … After prohibition of alcohol was repealed, one of the untold stories was of all the pardons that went out to all those people who had been convicted or were serving jail sentences for trading in alcohol. I think that same phenomenon accompanies legalizing marijuana and what I call rational drug policy, which starts with looking at the drug problem or the drug issue first as a health issue rather a criminal justice issue.
