A big key to any success the Cardinals' defense might have moving forward after their Week Six bye will be the contributions they get from three starters who were obtained this past offseason — FS Kerry Rhodes, ILB Paris Lenon and ROLB Joey Porter.
What is the consensus in the desert on the job turned in up to now by the trio of Rhodes, Lenon and Porter?
In the words of the rock singer/actor/sports fanatic Meat Loaf: "Two out of three ain't bad."
While most team insiders believe Rhodes has been the team's top overall defender in the first five games, and Lenon has definitely surpassed the team's expectations at the strong inside linebacker position in place of the injured Gerald Hayes, Porter's output (only one sack) must be considered a disappointment.
"For a guy with the reputation of being a double-digit sacker, he hasn't produced the way they'd like," one team insider said of Porter. "He's made some important pressures, but overall, he has not made a real huge impact.
"He's getting swallowed up off the edge too much. There have been occasions when they really could have used a sack from him late in games, but he just hasn't gotten the job done.
"He hasn't been awful. But he hasn't been great, either."
Certainly not as great as Rhodes, who has earned rave reviews and has become a big-time playmaker, with fumble returns for touchdowns in each of his last two games.
"Aside from a few personal-foul penalties, he has really played well," the insider said of Rhodes, who has wasted no time becoming a terrific complement to veteran Pro Bowl SS Adrian Wilson. "They have similar skills and have developed a very nice chemistry. They could be the biggest pair of starting safeties in the league; they look like two linebackers back there."
Lenon also has more than earned his keep, making his share of big plays, staying on the field above and beyond the call of duty and very effectively calling the defensive signals.
"The fact he picked up the Cardinals' 3-4 defense so fast after coming from a 4-3 (in St. Louis), is very impressive," the insider said of Lenon. "He really has been a nice surprise."

Police probe shooting in SpringfieldBy Brent Curtis
Staff Writer | June 12,2014Photo by Len Emery
Investigators gather at the scene of a shooting Wednesday on Summer Street in Springfield.SPRINGFIELD — Three people were sent to hospitals, police had one person in custody and were seeking other "persons of interest" after a shooting Wednesday afternoon on Summer Street.
The identities and the conditions of the three injured people were not available at press time, but police said only one of them was shot.
Two of the injured people were taken to Springfield Hospital while the third was airlifted to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H.
Police said all three were alive when they arrived at the hospitals.
"Initial investigations indicate that the subjects involved were known to one another," Vermont State Police said in a press release Wednesday night. "One suspect is in custody."
Police said they were still looking for other "persons of interest" in the case.
Springfield Police Chief Doug Johnston said officers were initially called to the area of 47 Summer St. for a report of a man chasing another person up a hill with a baseball bat.
Whether that incident is related to the shooting that sent three people to hospitals at 3:35 p.m. is unclear, the chief said.
An hour after the shooting, the sprawling red apartment building on Summer Street — a stone's throw from downtown — was cordoned off by yellow tape and both Springfield and state police cruisers lined the steep roadway leading up to the scene.
More than an hour after police arrived, a woman was handcuffed and taken into custody inside Village Pizza roughly 100 yards down the hill from 47 Summer St.
Johnston declined to say whether that arrest was the one referred to in the state police press release. He did not identify the woman taken into custody.
Two of the people taken to the hospital were being treated for head injuries that the chief said were not gunshot wounds.
Only one person was shot, suffering a wound to the torso, Johnston said.
He declined to identify any of the injured people, saying only it was a mix of adult men and women in the apartment.
The motive for the shooting is unclear, the chief said during a brief press conference at the police station three hours after the incident.
"There are a lot of things going on in this case that will probably come together over time," he said.
Police spent the afternoon searching for two suspects believed to have been involved in the shooting. Johnston declined to name the suspects. Where police were searching was also unclear — Johnston was called away before reporters finished asking questions.
However, police searched earlier in the day on Route 143. Springfield Police, including Johnston, and state police were involved in what the co-owner of Village Pizza said was the arrest at gunpoint of one of her employees.
Robin Iliopoulos said that one of her employees came in a half-hour late for work at 4:30 p.m. Before she arrived, police had called looking for her, Iliopoulos said, and soon after she arrived for work, officers with firearms drawn took her into custody in the back of the building.
"She's worked for us for three years," Iliopoulos said. "She's just a nice girl who I think got caught up in something bad. I don't know any other reason why troopers would train their guns on her. It's a sad day to live here."

5 Things to Remember Whenever You Open a Web Browser
To help you protect your content, your computer and even your precious online relationships, here are a few quick security precautions to keep in mind whenever you open a browser.
1. Turn on the spam filter inside your brain.
Most of us have learned to be suspicious of shady offers and attachments that arrive via e-mail. Those same scams are now all over the web. Be careful where you click, and apply your e-mail smarts to Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, and any other website or online application.
2. Real anti-virus or Internet security software will NEVER just appear on your computer.
If an "anti-virus" you didn't install appears on your PC, it's a scam. There is almost no exception to this rule. If anything other than your Internet security software tells you that infections have been detected on your PC, don't believe it. F-Secure Online Scanner will detect and help you extract any malware including fake anti-virus or scareware. PLEASE, don't pay for any software that installs itself on your computer. If you do make the mistake of passing on any banking information to a fake security program, contact your bank or credit-card company immediately.
3. Write down your passwords!
We'd all love to use the same simple passwords over and over. It's just easier. But there's a reason that every lock has a different key. To protect yourself, you have to pick complex passwords that can't be guessed. And you need to use different passwords for different accounts. And you need to change your passwords on a regular basis. How can you keep track of them all? WRITE THEM DOWN and keep them in your wallet. Don't write down the username or login, just the password. We'll walk you through it, step-by-step here. If you aren't comfortable writing your passwords down, you can also use an online password management tool like Password Safe or 1Password for Macs. Being smart about your passwords can be a pain, but still way better than getting hacked. But whatever you do, please don't use "password" or "123456" as your password.
4. Patch and protect.
For years, Microsoft's Windows software took most of the blame for the vulnerabilities that made cyberattacks possible. Nowadays, one of your applications is generally the culprit when the bad guys successfully break into your system. Security holes in applications are being discovered and fixed in all the time. To keep your system as safe as possible, make sure all of your programs have the most recent updates installed. Checking for updates on a regular basis can be an annoying task, but our free F-Secure Health Check makes it easy. Run it once a month for peace of mind.
5. Never publish your travel plans.
The reason the social networks are three times more popular than they were just a year ago is that we all love to share—maybe a little too much. On Facebook, you have control over who sees your updates. But unless you protect your Tweets, everything you post on Twitter is there to be read by the world. So why would you tell strangers you won't be home? Wait until you're back at home to post the pictures from your last trip. That way you know your PC and your other holiday goodies will be there waiting for you.

Panel takes testimony on sentencing billLISA RATHKE
THE Associated Press | January 28,2013MONTPELIER A Vermont Senate committee is weighing a bill that would require judges to consider the expected financial costs before imposing possible sentences.
Under the bill before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Corrections Department would develop a database that would be available to the courts listing the costs of individual sentences, including incarceration, probation, a deferred sentence, supervised community sentence, participation in a restorative justice program and others.
Bill sponsor Sen. Tim Ashe used the example of a drug offense where a judge would have information on the costs of incarceration versus putting the person into a court-mandated intensive substance abuse counseling program.
It may be that presented with this additional information a judge might feel that there are better interventions that can be made, he said.
The head of the states attorneys association and the defender general testified Friday that they welcomed more information about the costs of sentences, but they disagreed about whether to mandate that judges consider it.
We dont have a problem with financial costs being treated as relevant information, relative evidence in sentencing, in certain sentencing; we do have a problem with it being one of the criteria for sentencing, said Bram Kranichfeld, executive director of the Department of States Attorneys and Sheriffs Association. Kranichfeld said that requiring a consideration of the financial cost to be part of the sentencing criteria would be inappropriate in many cases and could result in unfair sentences.
Of the 14 states attorneys in Vermont, nine weighed in on the issue, and were opposed to requiring that financial considerations be part of the sentencing criteria.
Kranichfeld argued that such a consideration would be litigated in court, using up court resources.
But Defender General Matthew Valerio told the committee that such litigation likely wouldnt happen. Most cases result in plea agreements, which means that both sides agree to the sentences, he said.
I dont think that its an inappropriate thing for cost, in todays day and age, to be part of a consideration. Its what judges do all the time. They take in evidence, they listen, they weigh whats most important, whats least important, and they make a decision, he said. And he said he believed that financial considerations would not be high on the list of factors considered by a judge in sentencing, including public safety and the likelihood of rehabilitation.
Ashe said the bill doesnt bind judges to make decisions based on financial costs.
But it makes sure that theyre making the best decision in their judgment considering in an evolving world where we now appreciate that early intervention, particularly on substance abuse, is the most effective thing that we can do, he said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER A lawsuit filed Wednesday against the state Department for Children and Families...

"My overshirt is off, my hat is off, and I'm really sucking air at this point."
This is a snapshot of Mark Smith struggling with a 55-pound jug of water in the middle of sweltering Ethiopia. It certainly isn't where you'd expect to find the owner of the most successful Harley Davidson shop in the United States.
World Vision's Kari Costanza visited a community in Ethiopia whose residents are experiencing a very pronounced -- and understandable -- emotion over their struggle with a lack of access to clean water: anger.
Today marks the 19-year anniversary of the beginning of the Rwandan genocide that took the lives of almost 800,000 people in 1994.
World Vision's Tom Costanza visited the "Hotel Rwanda" in February, and recalls his trip and the tragedy 19 years before.
Ten years ago, families in impoverished communities in southern Peru like Cusipata were focused exclusively on agriculture and ways to earn money to survive. In their struggles against poverty, parents were distanced from their children, who became last in receiving attention and love.
But thanks to World Vision's work, this community has changed, and now parents put their hope in their children for sustainable development.
My father, Bob Pierce, first traveled to China in 1947 with Youth for Christ. World Vision wasn't even a twinkle in his eye. But years later, he would write, "My own world vision from God was sparked on that first trip." Among the people who ignited that spark were women who were determined to change the world in Jesus' name.

Steve Haas speaks on behalf of World Vision about the important issues that affect communities and churches, offering ways for his audiences to make a difference in the global arena.
This past summer, Steve had the unique opportunity to work closely with Olympic runner and World Vision partner Lopez Lomong. Today, Steve reflects on how his relationship with the Olympic athlete helped him to see God at work.
SPOILER ALERT: If you do not yet want to know the results of Lopez Lomong's final race, stop reading now.
Any mom would be proud to see her son compete in the Olympic Games, but I can't help but think that for Barb Rogers -- the woman who, together with husband, Rob, adopted Lopez Lomong -- the experience must be especially moving.
We have shared Lopez Lomong's journey -- from life as a lost boy in Sudan, to finding a new home in America, to his rise as an athlete.
Now, we want to show you what a day looks like for Lopez as he trains for the Olympics. World Vision photographer Jon Warren traveled to Flagstaff, Arizona, to spend a day with Lopez before he left to compete in London.
Lopez's preliminary race will be televised today. Check your listings for the men's 5,000-meter run, and cheer Lopez on.

With the Billings school bond kicking off November 5, SD2 officials are inviting voters to visit facilities, so the community can make the best decision.
On Monday, Broadwater Elementary School was open, and educators said they have invented a new word to deal with overcrowding. They're calling it 'cloffice.' No matter what dictionary you read, the word does not exist, but Broadwater Elementary Principal Joe Halligan said that due to the district's limited budget, educators have constructed new words, instead of new buildings to accommodate new students. So, Principal Halligan explains what a 'cloffice' is. "They were rooms originally designed for storage and closet space, and we've just transformed them into classrooms or small offices," Principal Halligan said.
Principal Halligan says space issues aren't the only issues. "It's just not a very comforting feeling knowing kids have to go between two buildings for speech class, special education class, or just their classroom. From a standpoint on security, it is kind of difficult," Joe Halligan said.
If approved, the nearly $122-million measure would not only rehabilitate SD2's oldest facilities, but new schools would be built, and existing facilities would be better maintained. "It's hugely important, not only for Broadwater School, but for the community of Billings. It's something the community is ready for. It's something we need to move forward with," Halligan said.
Superintendent Terry Bouck said If voters approve the idea in November, it will cost the average owner of a $200,000 home roughly $132 more per year in taxes. "It's been a long time, since we've done deferred maintenance, and the building of new schools. In fact, it's been 27 years since our last school was built," Bouck said.
Bouck said if you missed Monday's visit to Broadwater, school tours are scheduled throughout the week. He said doors will be open Wednesday at McKinley and Friday at Beartooth.

Providing food assistance to millions of destitute people in Somalia is a difficult and dangerous business. As Deputy Country Director for the last two years, Denise Brown, has found that to get the job done she has to be both tough and charming.

The flight of more than 200,000 people from Somalia's war-torn capital Mogadishu since May is the latest chapter in the crisis in the Horn of Africa. It underlines how WFP must operate on all sides of the country's conflict to reach the powerless and hungry.

Oversold and Unloved Can Spell Trading Profits
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Finding bargains, the diamonds in the rough, is rarely an easy task. The old mantra of Wall Street is "buy low and sell high" but many investors find their results appear closer to "buy high and sell low."
I don't recall when I heard it first, but the quote "buy high and sell even higher" is what most investors should strive for. Value buying is more difficult because as any value buyer who has invested for a long time knows, it's a fine line between buying value and becoming a bag holder.
I am here to help you separate the values from the bags. My favorite filtering tool is DeMark indicators. I don't make trading decisions from DeMark indicators directly, but my own modifications of several market timing tools heavily influence me.
My last oversold article was Five Oversold Stocks: One Is a Strong Buy, One Is a Lotto Ticket. Let's take a look and examine the results. I will use the closing prices on the date of publication and Monday to calculate the return (with the exception of RadioShack).Polycom (PLCM) + 8.3% PMC-Sierra (PMCS) + 5.6% RadioShack (RSH) + 15.3% DuPont (DD) + 6.1% Seagate (STX) + 25.4% RadioShack's cost basis is calculated differently because I provided entry instructions to wait on buying until the criteria were met. Overall, the market based on the Spider S&P 500 (SPY) is up 2.7%. Examine the stocks I am reviewing now and see if any make sense for your portfolio and investment objectives.

Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin is young, passionate and is taking the fast track to success.
Pioneer Press
MANKATO, Minn. — As his red Ford Focus idled in the parking lot of a west side Cleveland high school, Mike Tomlin called the University of Cincinnati coaches' secretary to check his messages.
Although another local prep player beckoned during the frantic 2001 college football recruiting season, Tomlin needed to ensure no high school coaches or parents were trying to contact him with questions or concerns.
So Tomlin ignored the secretary when she told him Tony Dungy of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had called for him.
"I said, 'Yeah, I'll call him back. I'll get the number later,' thinking it's one of my buddies playing a joke," Tomlin said.
Tomlin bolted to a few more schools before heading back to his hotel in Berea, Ohio, around 4 p.m. Once again, with his first reprieve of his hectic day, Tomlin contacted the coaches' secretary.
This time, she said, Monte Kiffin, the Buccaneers' defensive coordinator, called for him.
Perplexed, Tomlin asked for the number.
"I'm like, 813? That's Florida," Tomlin said of the area code. "I was like, this is legitimate or someone is playing an intricate joke. Needless to say, I get in touch with Monte. I listened to Monte for 10 minutes, and it went from there."
As a teenager, Tomlin dreamed of becoming the coach at his alma mater, Denbigh High School, in Newport News, Va. About a decade later, while he was an assistant coach at Arkansas State in the late 1990s, Tomlin dreamed of walking into a high school wearing the sweater of a big-time college football program.
Today, Mike Tomlin, 34, is the NFL's youngest defensive coordinator, and he is projected to become a head coach in the league.
He has absolutely no idea how he got here.
"I'm not going to kid," Tomlin said. "I'd like to tell you that I had some crystal ball in terms of what I'd do professionally. Really, I can say that I've had fun at every job I've had, and I've enjoyed being at that place at that time. When you work like that, you don't spend a lot of time thinking about your next move."
Ed Tomlin summed up his younger brother's career more bluntly.
"I joke with him about being the Forrest Gump of coaching because he seems to have stumbled upon some tremendous opportunities," said Ed Tomlin, an entrepreneur in Bowie, Md. "These things just don't happen. One year, he's sleeping in the military dorm at VMI, coaching for nothing. And a few years later, he's playing a significant role on the biggest stage in sports. That's just crazy."
A three-year starter at receiver, Tomlin finished his playing career in 1994 at William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va., with 101 catches for 2,053 yards and 20 touchdowns. After brief stops at Virginia Military Institute, the University of Memphis and Tennessee-Martin, Tomlin accepted a position as receivers coach at Arkansas State in 1997.
The offensive coordinator, Randy Fichtner, immediately challenged him.
"He was a ridiculous a.m. worker," Tomlin said. "He really got me to punch the clock."
Inclined to sleep in as late as possible, Tomlin started meeting with Fichtner at 4:45 most mornings. But Tomlin reveled in the sessions because Fichtner, who had coached at Purdue, taught him the intricacies of the passing game.
Then coach Joe Hollis, who had been an assistant coach at Ohio State, recognized Tomlin's passion for learning the craft of coaching. In his spare time, Tomlin studied film and talked to any coach who visited the campus.
"If we had coaches come by, whether they were successful high school coaches or college coaches, offense or defense, he would take notes," said Hollis, now the football coach and athletics director at Florence (Ala.) High School. "He lived in the defensive film room. I'm sure his wife was left alone."
After his first season at Arkansas State, Tomlin switched from receivers to defensive backs coach, and he realized his potential.
"Randy and Joe had come from Big Ten schools, and they were very supportive and made me comfortable with the fact that I was capable of doing some great things professionally," Tomlin said. "So that's probably when I started dreaming."
As the defensive backs coach at Cincinnati on Rick Minter's staff, Tomlin learned to be resourceful and open-minded. In 2000, the Bearcats ranked eighth in the nation in interceptions, and four of Tomlin's defensive backs were drafted by NFL teams.
The Bearcats' coach for 10 seasons, Minter also had been the defensive coordinator at Notre Dame when the Fighting Irish ranked fourth and second in 1992 and 1993.
"He just has it," said Minter, who again is Notre Dame's defensive coordinator. "People ask, 'What is it?' I don't know. But he has it."
During the 2001 NFL offseason, the New York Jets hired Herman Edwards, the Buccaneers' assistant head coach/defensive backs coach, as their head coach. Bucs defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin immediately contacted some of his peers to identify candidates to take over his talented and experienced secondary.
"We researched and researched and interviewed people," Kiffin said. "All of a sudden, an assistant coach at Duke (Denny Creehan) told us there was a real good secondary coach at the University of Cincinnati. It just so happened that the head coach there, Rick Minter, was a friend of mine."
When he got Minter on the phone, Kiffin said, "Tell me about this Mike Tomlin."
"He said, 'Uh oh. How'd you hear about him?' "
Kiffin also talked to coaches at Arkansas State and William & Mary.
"I kept hearing the same good things. But at the same time, I thought, 'He's (28) years old,' " Kiffin recalled.
Before agreeing to fly to Tampa for an interview, Tomlin wanted assurances from Kiffin and Dungy that he wasn't going to get a "courtesy" interview, especially because opportunities at other major colleges were developing for him.
"I just wanted to make sure I had an opportunity to compete," Tomlin said.
In doing his research, though, Tomlin made an important discovery: Dungy was a defensive backs coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers by 26 and a coordinator by 28.
"I felt pretty good about that," Tomlin said.
Still, Tomlin figured he was overmatched for the job. His peers had told him that two or three interviews are necessary before landing a job in the NFL.
"So I really went into the interview extremely loose. I said, 'Hey, I want to make this difficult on them,' " Tomlin said. "Again, it was a Forrest Gump moment. 'Oh, let me go down and interview with these guys.' Probably in the back of mind, I didn't think I was going to get the job."
In fact, Tomlin didn't even tell his wife, Kiya, who was visiting her family in New Jersey.
In Tampa, Dungy and Kiffin took Tomlin onto a practice field to gauge his football IQ.
"I said, 'Whoa.' He reminded me of Pete Carroll, when he was with me at Arkansas (1977)," Kiffin recalled of Carroll, now the coach at Southern California. "I felt that about Mike Tomlin."
Although Tomlin's resume wasn't long, Dungy was impressed that the young coach had helped develop NFL players at Cincinnati. The resume "doesn't have to be deep. It just has to be good," said Dungy, now the coach of the Indianapolis Colts. "We had had a lot of college coaches come in and have success. We were looking for teachers."
Still, Bucs cornerback Ronde Barber recalled healthy skepticism from his veteran unit, especially Pro Bowl safety John Lynch. Not only was he close to Edwards, Lynch was about six months older than Tomlin.
"I remember the first day in there, everybody was like, 'What's he going to tell me? He was a receiver at William & Mary and a DB coach at Cincinnati?' " Barber said.
But Barber said the players' attitudes changed when they noticed their technique improving, their attention to detail heightening.
"The proof is in the pudding, and it started to show up on the field with everybody," Barber said. "And his personality started to rub off on all the players. I had a career year that year. I attribute where I am now to him coming in here and reinventing our secondary, and once we bought into it, we had a whole lot of success."
In his second season, the Bucs' passing defense was No. 1 in the NFL, allowing just 155.6 yards a game, and his secondary intercepted four of Rich Gannon's five passes, including two that were returned for touchdowns in the Bucs' Super Bowl XXXVII victory.
In Tomlin's five seasons in Tampa, the Bucs' pass defense ranked sixth or higher, and twice finished the season at No. 1.
"He definitely improved what Herm left, and that's nothing against Herm," Barber said. "Mike approached the game in a different way. Just the way he prepared us. Not just mentally. But the way he was hands-on with us on the practice field. That's what set us apart.
"I don't think it's a coincidence that when he came in, I started making Pro Bowls."
When he accepted the Vikings' coaching position, Brad Childress knew who he wanted to be his defensive coordinator. After some fierce coaching battles against Kiffin and Tomlin, Childress wanted to install the Bucs' cover 2 defense.
But history is not on their side; the Vikings' defense has ranked no higher than 21st the past seven seasons, and the pass defense has been among the NFL's worst over the past decade.
Tomlin, though, has shrugged off such questions, embracing the lessons he learned from two of the great defensive minds in football.
He learned from Dungy the value of tempering one's emotions through a football season.
"He was the same guy every day," Tomlin said. "Good game, bad game. Good practice, bad practice. The NFL season is a marathon, and if you ride the emotional roller coaster, you'll end up face down in this thing."
Although Tomlin is the youngest defensive coordinator in the NFL, Kiffin said Tomlin was ready a year ago, when he interviewed for the same position on Nick Saban's staff with the Miami Dolphins.
Kiffin and Dungy believe before long Tomlin will become an NFL head coach.
"He understands the game," Dungy said. "He knows what it's all about, (and) he's been under some very good defensive people.... Really, it's his ability to communicate. It's not what you know, it's what you can get across to the players. He has that special ability."
Dungy projects Tomlin will be a head coach in seven or eight years.
But Tomlin will not stray from the mind-set that got him here.
"It's elevator music to me. I hear it. But I don't," Tomlin said of the head coach talk. "That's the way I've got to live my life. I'm having a ball.
"I'm a defensive coordinator in the National Football League. Are you kidding me?" he said. "I'm going to dwell in this. I'm going to enjoy this. When and if that opportunity presents itself, then hopefully things I will have done will make me prepared."

The week after an interception return for a touchdown highlighted the biggest game of his four-year career with the Seattle Seahawks, cornerback Walter Thurmond reportedly is being suspended by the league for violation of its substance-abuse policy.
First reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the suspension would sideline Thurmond for four weeks, coming when the Seahawks are already vulnerable in the secondary with the injury to starter Brandon Browner (groin).
Early reports hold that Thurmond's failed test was for non-performance-enhancing substances. By not appealing the suspension, he will be able to return for the final regular-season game and expected playoff appearance by the Seahawks. The Seahawks cannot confirm any suspension until it's announced by the NFL.
On Sunday afternoon, Thurmond tweeted: "I'm disappointed in myself for letting my teammates and family down."
Reserves Byron Maxwell and Jeremy Lane are expected to fill more prominent roles when the Seahawks return from their bye week to play host to New Orleans on Monday Night Football on Dec. 2.
Thurmond got his lone start last season while Browner was serving a league suspension for PEDs. An injury to Thurmond in 2011 opened the way for Browner, a free agent from the CFL, to start and prove himself as a Pro Bowl talent.
Thurmond's career has been plagued by serious leg injuries. The fourth-round draft pick (2010) out of Oregon has started seven games for the Hawks. He returned his first interception against the Vikings for a 29-yard touchdown.
Browner's recovery from the injury, suffered in the Atlanta game, is expected to take between four and six weeks to heal, meaning a possible mid-December return.
Without Browner and Thurmond, the Seahawks will have only three cornerbacks on the 53-man roster. A possible fill-in could be DeShawn Shead off the practice squad.
In the wake of bad tests by Browner, Richard Sherman (reversed on appeal) and Bruce Irvin in the past two seasons, the Seahawks players held a meeting in the off-season and adopted a team motto: "24/7 Leave No Doubt." The message was one of accountability on and off the field. It was intended to serve as a reminder that, with the talent to contend for a championship, the team could not afford to lose any more players to suspension.
The timing of Thurmond's absence is critical, as New Orleans has the No. 2 passing offense in the league, and the following week the Seahawks travel to San Francisco to meet NFC Divisional rival 49ers.

By KYLE HIGHTOWERAssociated Press
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - The police department in the city where Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer is clarifying that revisions to its watch program that include a no-weapons recommendation won't infringe on citizens' constitutional rights.
Sanford police chief Cecil Smith said Tuesday that the new neighborhood watch program will include more defined training that informs participants that police policy is not to patrol or carry guns. But it won't be specifically written into the handbook.
Smith says people won't be asked about any weapons permits they hold or be restricted from participating if they do.
But block captains will now be required to sign a waiver that says if they carry any weapon they are going beyond the training of police and relinquish the city of liability.

Dogs that are potentially dangerous have been a topic of passionate debate.
On Tuesday, FOX 32 News talked about a police officer in Hammond who shot a pit bull.
On Monday, FOX 32 talked about what's happening in Homer Glen: After a series of dog attacks -- including the most recent, in which a mini schnauzer was killed -- village trustees are considering an all-out ban on so-called "vicious dogs." However, how to determine which dogs are vicious would have to be worked out. One trustee said it would not be breed-specific.
FOX 32's Facebook page was flooded with comments. Nearly all of them blasted the proposed ban.
"Ban vicious dogs? That could even be a poodle. It is the training of the dog," Lisa wrote.
Of course, there is another side to the debate.
When dog attacks do happen -- whatever the reason, or whoever, is to blame -- the results can be heartbreaking.
FOX 32 News talked Tuesday with Jeff Borchardt, a Wisconsin man who's 14-month-old son Daxton was attacked and killed by two dogs at his babysitter's house. The dogs were pit bulls who Borchardt said had been raised well. He knew the dogs and said they were nice. He had no concern about them being around his son. Then, came the attack.
Borchardt is now an advocate for canine education. His group does not call for a ban on pit bulls. However, he said much more awareness of the danger is needed.

By Web Staff – email AUBURN, AL (WXTX) - Auburn University reports the old oaks located on Toomer's Corner have been poisoned.
The university confirmed Wednesday afternoon that an herbicide commonly used to kill trees was deliberately applied to the trees.
We are told lethal amounts of the herbicide Spike 80DF were used.
Experts believe the trees are not likely to survive and there is little chance to save the trees.Auburn University officials were alerted to the situation after a person called into Paul Finebaum's radio broadcast on January 27 saying he had poisoned the trees. The Paul Finebaum Show is a nationally syndicated radio broadcast.
News Leader 9 is following this story. We'll have a live report on News Leader 9 at 6:00 p.m. Anyone with information is asked to call Auburn police at (334) 501-3110 or anonymously by voice or text on the tip line at (334) 246-1391.

From Jay Gogue, President, Auburn University"We will take every step we can to save the Toomer's oaks, which have been the home of countless celebrations and a symbol of the Auburn spirit for generations of Auburn students, fans, alumni and the community."
"It is understandable to feel outrage in reaction to a malicious act of vandalism. However, we should live up to the example we set in becoming national champions and the beliefs expressed in our Auburn Creed. Individuals act alone, not on behalf of anyone or any place, and all universities are vulnerable to and condemn such reprehensible acts."

Nine roads were still blocked in Northport late Monday and Mayor George Doll has no timetable for when they'll be cleared.
It's not for lack of trying. Now eight days after Hurricane Sandy ripped through the region, Doll is as in the dark as any other resident when it comes to the Long Island Power Authority.
Doll and other village officials have been on the phone daily with LIPA. But when the mayor went to the temporary command center set up off Pulaski Road in Greenlawn he was shooed away.
"Very frustrating," Doll said.
LIPA has whittled a list that included 20 blocked roads Friday down to just nine. But the utility has shown little ability to coordinate with the village, according to Doll.
That's vital because village employees can help clear debris and tree limbs from the street once LIPA crews cut them away from power lines, allowing the utility crews to work faster and more efficiently. Northport employees are forbidden by law from working on trees or limbs hanging from or touching wires.
"When do I hope to have power back? Tomorrow," Doll said wistfully. "But LIPA doesn't answer to me."
Let Patch save you time. Get great local stories like this delivered right to your inbox or smartphone everyday with our free newsletter. Simple, fast sign-up here.
That's cold comfort to the 414 Northport customers still without power. Still another 1,070 homes in Greenlawn, 1,007 in East Northport, 560 in Centerport, 558 in Elwood, 65 in Eatons Neck and 29 in Asharoken are in the dark.
Residents seeking answers at Village Hall have come away with none.
"I'm not complaining," one woman told Doll. She was looking to know when her dark block of Cherry Street will get power back. "I just want to know."
Northport streets still blocked are: Union Place, Fox Lane, Scudder Place, Chestnut Circle, Burt Avenue, Mariners Lane, Okleigh Place, Cherry Street and Locust Road.
Part of the problem, according to Doll, is a shortage of power poles. Most of the streets still blocked have shattered poles.
He's offered Scudder Beach as a staging area for LIPA equipment because the sooner all roads get cleared, the sooner power is restored. But the village has another public safety motivator behind opening roadways.
"Priority is to have no section of street inaccessible by fire trucks," Doll said.
The mayor saw power restored to his Seaview home Saturday night. So he's lived in the dark and can empathize with any resident still without power.
Yet all he can do is keep calling. It's a problem bigger than one local official.

For the first time in Hip-Hop history, a college fraternity is dedicating itself to the four elements of Hip-Hop, and in the process they are becoming the first Hip-Hop fraternity in existence. Eta Iota Rho, also known as HIP, was founded by Quinnton Parker, Justin Wolverton, and Keane Rowley, three young break-dancers who weren't quite excited about the current state of Hip-Hop. "We're not here with false intentions, this isn't a publicity stunt," Quinnton Parker, one of the founders of Eta Iota Rho told AllHipHop.com. "All the people involved generally want a change in the Hip-Hop community. They don't want this negative image that comes from the media. They just want everybody to know what Hip-Hop is about."

Contact InformationEmail: email@example.com
Office Location: 202 Regina Street, R201
Office Hours: Monday and Wednesday 2pm to 3:30 pm, Tuesday and Thursday 9 am to 11:30 am.
Academic Background
BES, Geography, University of Waterloo
Although I was born in Sarnia, Ontario I have lived in Waterloo Region for the better part of my life. While I am physically located in Waterloo my heart and soul live in the international realm. I love to travel and learn about new cultures not as a tourist but as one of the locals.
All my life I have had a keen interest in the world around me therefore Geography and History were my favourite subjects in school. I lived in England for four years and eventually returned to Waterloo to earn my Bachelor of Environmental Studies, majoring in Geography from the University of Waterloo. I give credit for my passion for Geography to Mr. Warren Stauch my high school Geography teacher who made learning so much fun and he had a great passion for World Issues. Although he is now retired he still teaches.
After working many years in a variety of vocations, mostly in the hospitality industry, I have found my niche in International Recruitment and Admissions. Here I can meld my two interests of Geography and World Issues. Education on issues around the world is key to being instrumental in leaving this world a better place then when we came into it. Knowledge and understanding of how different and how similar we all are improves communication which can one day lead to peace.
The International Recruitment and Admissions team is truly global in makeup and outlook. We have a passion for recruiting the best and brightest students from around the world so that they can bring their culture to us and we can introduce them to ours. We look forward to welcoming you to Laurier in the near future.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Dropping names can open doors but removing names can lead to road closures.
Saturday, six Downtown Peoria streets surrounding the former Associated Bank Building will be closed due to removal of the large signs atop of the building.
On Friday, workers began uninstalling those signs. On Saturday between 7:30 am and noon, crews on the top of the building will be assisting helicopters as they lower the signage to the ground.
According to the building manager the public is welcome to watch.
"It should be a fun event if you are into that kind of thing. That is watching the helicopter remove the letters and setting them down on flatbeds on Hamilton street. kind of an unusual event in Peoria," said Susie Armstrong, the Associated Bank Property Manager.
The Associated Bank Building is located at 125 Northeast Jefferson Avenue. Motorists in the area are advised to use an alternate route.

A.Martin Holladay, editor
of Energy Design Update,responds: Your
insulation contractor is correct: An interior
polyethylene vapor retarder should not be installed
in North Carolina. During the summer months, when
interior drywall is cooled by a home's air
conditioner, condensation can occur on the back
(exterior side) of the polyethylene. This
phenomenon — called inward solar-vapor
drive — occurs after a rainstorm, when sun
shines on damp siding. As the siding warms up,
water vapor is driven into the wall, allowing
condensation to form on the cool polyethylene. This
is particularly a problem in homes with so-called
"reservoir" claddings — such as brick,
stucco, and adhered stone veneer — and in
homes without foam sheathing.
Evidently, your local building code does not
reflect recent changes adopted by the international
codes. The 2004 supplements to the IRC and the
International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
abolished all vapor-retarder requirements in
climate zones 1, 2, 3, and 4. Moreover, the most
recent versions of these codes (the 2007
supplements) provide new levels of flexibility in
the remaining requirements for vapor retarders in
climate zones 5 through 8.
Even older versions of most residential codes
never required interior polyethylene. Until
recently, codes defined a vapor retarder as "a
material having a permeance rating of 1.0 or less
when tested in accordance with ASTM E96," a
requirement that can be met with a layer of
vapor-retarding paint applied to the drywall. Show
your local building inspector a can label; you may
be able to satisfy him and conform to current
national energy codes with this low-cost
If you can't change your inspector's mind with
education or logic, it might necessary to follow
the path of least resistance and cover your walls
with a so-called "smart" vapor retarder like
CertainTeed's MemBrain (800/233-8990,
Since the permeance of MemBrain varies with the
relative humidity, it will allow a wall to dry to
the interior during North Carolina's hot, humid

In its season opener at the Palestra against UMBC, Penn entered the game burdened by a long series of question marks: What would this squad look like Zack-Rosen-less? Could this young squad hold its own, despite only returning 43 percent of last year's minutes? Can the team beat the Retrievers for a fourth consecutive year? The Quakers answered by orchestrating an inspired second half comeback and securing their first victory of the year, 80-75.
THE GOOD: Comeback from being down 22 points.
With 5:08 remaining in the first half, the Quakers stared down a 22-point deficit, 42-20, primarily as the result of a 15-0 run by the Retrievers and five Penn turnovers over a four-minute span. However, the Red and Blue turned around and outscored UMBC 14-6 to end the first half, and they continued the onslaught in the second behind a stellar 15-point performance from Miles Cartwright. Most importantly, Penn did not panic when it got down early and made all the necessary adjustments with enough time to take back the game, which demonstrated wisdom beyond this young team's years.
THE BAD: Fifteen first half turnovers.
This does not come as a shocking surprise, since it's characteristic of an inexperienced squad to try to do too much in its opening game of the season. The Quakers protected the ball much better in the second half, giving up the ball just six times, but there are still some lingering questions about who will handle the ball in the backcourt, after Tony Hicks and Camryn Crocker both accounted for three turnovers. Penn had better control Cartwright bringing up the ball, so the Red and Blue may look to him to play some point guard this season. However, the worst offender in turnovers was Fran Dougherty, which brings us to "The Ugly."
THE UGLY: Fran Dougherty trying to catch the ball.
Dougherty turned the ball over a team-high four times, all of which are exemplified by one play from this game: Penn is inbounding the ball from the baseline and a pass goes out to Dougherty, near the three-point line. Since Doc isn't much of a threat from that range, he is wide open. However, when the ball approaches Dougherty, he acts like he's never seen a basketball before (i.e. pretty confused), and the ball slips through his hands out of bounds. Though Doc scored some crucial points against UMBC, the Quakers will need him to, well, catch the ball this season.
