Katie Monroe is speeding through the rugged mountains north of Salt Lake City, a half hour late and a little bit lost. She's here to see a woman she recently helped free from prison after 17 years—a woman who was locked up for a murder she didn't commit. That nightmare is one Monroe knows all too well: 20 years ago, her own mother was wrongly convicted of murder. And today, although Monroe's eyes are on the road—"We almost hit a pigeon!" she gasps—her mind is on the past, retracing the personal odyssey that has brought her to this lonely, snow-peaked pass in Utah's Wasatch Range. "It's really easy to convict someone of something they didn't do," Monroe says, nibbling fried polenta from a take-out box on her lap as she drives. "Freeing them—that's the challenge."
Monroe, 47, should know: She is the director of the Rocky Mountain Innocence Center in Salt Lake City, a small, mostly volunteer band of attorneys, law professors and students dedicated to freeing wrongfully imprisoned people in Utah, Nevada and Wyoming. Monroe is what her profession calls an innocence lawyer, one you don't call until you've been stuck in jail for years—sometimes decades—and have used up all the usual appeals. Even then, you have to be lucky: Of the 200 prisoners a year who write seeking help, only a handful have cases that the center deems strong enough to take on.
For lawyers like Monroe, the hours are long, the pay is low, and the victories, though enormously gratifying, are few. Taking a drive through the mountains to visit a client is a good way to unwind, and Monroe talks a blue streak the whole way. "One thing I learned from Mom's case," she says quietly, as if to herself, "is that if you're in the battle for the long haul, you've got to stay sane. You can't let it take you under, and you can't be afraid. Because you're going up against the government. And you get shut down far more often than you get a break."
There was a time, before she opted for law school at Virginia's George Mason University, when Monroe dreamed of a career in music or on the stage. She certainly knows how to make an entrance: Last October, speaking at Columbus School of Law in Washington, D.C., Monroe swirled into the auditorium in a form-fitting black-and-white dress and knee-high black boots, walked briskly to the front of the room and dived into a rapid-fire, fact-spiked talk about wrongful incarceration that left her audience of 100 law students, professors and judges nearly breathless. Monroe admits that even she has trouble keeping up with her thoughts: Sometimes she'll hop out of the shower, grab a tube of lipstick and scrawl an idea on her bathroom mirror.
The battle to free America's wrongfully imprisoned is not for the easily daunted. For starters, no one really knows how many innocent people are currently incarcerated in the U.S., says Samuel Gross, a law professor at the University of Michigan who is a leading expert on wrongful convictions. The only solid statistic is how many have been exonerated, which Gross says represents only a small fraction of those held in error. He has identified at least 2,061 prisoners who've been exonerated since 1989. A shocking number had been on death row: 140 men facing execution have been cleared since 1973, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Fifty-seven of the exonerated are women; the longest serving among them, Betty Tyson of Rochester, New York, put in 25 years for murder before a court ruled in 1998 that police had withheld evidence that would have cleared her.
Many of the wrongfully imprisoned are poor men who are black or Latino, but the overall number encompasses men and women of every race, ethnicity and income level, from high school dropouts to well-educated professionals. What they tend to have in common are inadequate lawyers, sloppy police or crime-lab work and eyewitnesses who mistakenly (or deliberately) pointed a finger at them. In a legal system that often assumes it is fail-safe, even prisoners with compelling evidence of innocence are frequently unable to hurdle procedural barriers to a new hearing.
But if you're fortunate enough to get on Monroe's short list, you just might walk out that prison door. In the past year, her tiny organization has won two high-profile exonerations in its home state of Utah, and her influence stretches far beyond state lines. Since becoming the center's director in 2006, Monroe has helped persuade skeptical lawmakers in neighboring Nevada and Wyoming to follow the lead of Utah and most other states by giving inmates access to DNA evidence that wasn't available at trial and could clear them. In another major advance, she helped pass Utah's 2008 innocence law, which made the state one of only four jurisdictions (the three others are Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C.) that give prisoners a fresh chance—after traditional appeals are exhausted—to prove their innocence even without DNA findings, provided that compelling new evidence has emerged since their conviction. That's a crucial legal opening, because DNA is available in only 5 to 10 percent of criminal cases, either because the perpetrator didn't leave any trace at the scene or because police failed to preserve it. Another notable advance under the law: Utah's exonerees not only are freed but also are eligible to receive compensation for their years behind bars—roughly $34,000 a year for up to 15 years.
In part because of Monroe, flinty old Utah is now a beacon for the national Innocence Network, an affiliation of more than 50 independently run pro bono organizations across the U.S. Monroe is quick to point out she was only one person in a remarkable group that wrote and won passage of the 2008 law, an unlikely alliance that included conservative lawmakers, an influential assistant attorney general and two crusading law professors. But the Utah law, perhaps the most generous of its kind in the nation, is just one of several key legal advances that Monroe has helped secure for innocent prisoners caught in legal limbo. She is also working with police and prosecutors across the West to prevent wrongful convictions before they happen—encouraging them to electronically record interrogations, preserve biological evidence and improve safeguards against eyewitness misidentification. "It makes an enormous difference when a conservative state like Utah takes these steps," says attorney Barry Scheck, cofounder of the Innocence Project, a national nonprofit legal clinic based at New York City's Cardozo School of Law that has spearheaded the innocence movement since 1992. "And it's a testament to Katie's advocacy. She's not someone who goes for sentiment or cheap emotions. She tries to win you over with the logic of the argument." (The Innocence Project formed the Innocence Network and approves applications to join; both Scheck and Monroe sit on the network's board.)
For sure, Monroe has an uncanny ability to find common ground with people who could hardly be described as like-minded, from conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, who served on a blue-ribbon court-reform panel that Monroe helped coordinate, to prosecutors, crime victims and police officials, some of whom are her closest allies. "Katie is very passionate about what she believes, but she would never purposely twist information for effect," says Linda Krueger, executive director of the criminalistics bureau at the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, who has worked with Monroe on innocence policy and legislation. "Sometimes these lawyers have a bad image, that maybe they're trying to get some guilty party free. But that's just not who Katie is."
As she approaches her destination—the tiny, weathered Mormon outpost of Richmond, Utah—Monroe savors a rare victory. Richmond is home to Debra Brown, 54, a soft-spoken, astonishingly unbitter woman who was the first person freed under Utah's 2008 innocence law. Brown made national headlines last year when, thanks to Monroe's group, she walked out of prison after 17 years and into her family's outstretched arms.
A tall, slender woman with auburn hair and a shy smile, Brown waves from the driveway of her aunt's small house. It's just a few doors from the trailer where Brown was raised, not far from the town where she supported her three children by plastering walls and laying floor tiles. And it's just a short trip down the highway from the courthouse where in 1995 she was convicted in the shooting death of her close friend and employer, Lael Brown (no relation), a local landlord.
Debra Brown always swore she didn't do it, and, in fact, no physical evidence connected her to the murder. Police failed to photograph or preserve key evidence from the house where the landlord was shot—including a stranger's bloody handprint on the front door. But Debra, a struggling single mother, aroused police suspicion because of a smaller offense: She had forged some checks under Lael Brown's name. That helped prosecutors make their case, and they convinced a jury that Debra had killed her employer to hide her tracks.
Jurors were never told about another suspect, a convicted thief and drug addict named Bobbie Sheen, who shortly after the shooting had been seen carrying a gun and mysteriously large wads of cash. (A ballistics test showed that Lael Brown had been killed with his own gun, which had then disappeared, presumably stolen by the murderer. The rent money Brown collected that week was missing from the house as well.) Sheen's car had been seen at Lael Brown's house that day, and he was furious with the landlord for evicting him weeks earlier. "That dirty SOB has got so much money," Sheen told a friend, according to court documents. "If we had half the money he has stashed away, we'd both be rich." Under questioning in court in January 2011, detectives said they could no longer recall why they never pursued the leads they'd received about Sheen. It's too late now: He committed suicide in 2007.
The story might have ended there, as it does for many people imprisoned for someone else's crime. A likely suspect is passed over by police. Or the real culprit dies, doesn't talk or is ignored when he tries to confess in a closed case. But Brown got lucky. Her prison Bible teacher, who believed Brown's protestations of innocence, contacted the Rocky Mountain Innocence Center in late 2001, and the organization signed on. It took years for the center's volunteers—University of Utah law professor Jensie L. Anderson and an occasional student, working in their spare time—to gain access to sealed police files, find missing evidence and track down witnesses, some of whom had never testified.
But after Monroe joined the center in 2006, she took two steps that significantly ramped up progress in Brown's case. Together with Anderson, Monroe created the innocence clinic at the University of Utah to train students as case investigators. And she and Anderson helped persuade Alan Sullivan, a senior attorney at Snell & Wilmer, a leading Salt Lake City law firm, to represent Brown pro bono, a model that the center now employs for all its cases. Her work paid off. In May 2011, after two new witnesses corroborated Brown's alibi, a judge freed her, ruling that the facts showed Brown could not have committed the crime.
Several months have passed since that rainy, emotion-filled afternoon. Today, Monroe wants to see how Brown, who became a grandmother while in prison, is adjusting to life on the outside. "You look gorgeous!" Monroe says, bounding out of the car and giving Brown a squeeze. Indeed, the transformation is striking: Brown looks nothing like the vacant-eyed woman in red prison sweats pictured in news accounts. She's downright radiant, with elegantly swept-back hair, proud bearing and a bright new smile, enhanced by implants donated by a local dentist. And yet, five months after her release, Brown still seems dazed to be out in the brilliant sunlight. "We're healing," she says a bit wistfully of the long, bittersweet process of reuniting with her family, some of whom blame themselves—unfairly, says Monroe—for failing to secure her release sooner.
The two laugh and chat over coffee until Brown abruptly turns serious. "When I met you, it was just like turning a Bic lighter completely up on the flame," she says to Monroe. "Because the hope, instead of flickering, went whoof! I started believing, This is really going to happen."
"Jeesh, Deb, you give me way too much credit," Monroe says, shaking her head in protest. "I just have a belief that some cases can be won. That with enough digging, perseverance and fighting in court, you can win."
Missteps send the wrong people to prison every day—some to death row. False confessions. Unreliable forensics. Snitch testimony. Police who ignore evidence that doesn't fit their hunch, and prosecutors who cut corners to win. Even experienced prosecutors concede that on occasion innocent people have been ground under the wheels of justice, although in their view such cases are rare. "Police and prosecutors are under a tremendous amount of pressure to solve crimes," says Scott Reed, criminal-justice-division chief of the Utah attorney general's office. "When there are dead bodies, people want to know that the guy who's responsible has been taken care of. They want to know they're safe. And maybe that's why hunches get pressed into service with what otherwise might be troubling holes in the fabric of their proof."
Reed, like every other prosecutor interviewed for this story, said he was deeply troubled by the thought of an innocent person imprisoned for the crime of another. "There are always contradictions" in the evidence, he points out. "There are always things that you can't reconcile. And maybe it's an excuse, but you say, OK, we'll leave that up to the jury." That's precisely the problem, Monroe says. Juries are often ill equipped to deal with factual holes and inconsistencies—-especially when the problems are papered over or even obfuscated. "A trial isn't a clean event," she says. "There's all sorts of room for mind games and channeling of evidence. And what goes on at trial is often far from the truth of the matter."
Monroe learned that lesson the hard way; in 1992 her mother, Beverly Monroe, was sentenced to 22 years in prison for a murder she did not commit. An organic chemist, Beverly, then 54, worked for Philip Morris in Richmond, Virginia, and had been romantically involved with Roger de la Burde, a tobacco scientist, for 13 years. On the night of March 4, 1992, Beverly dined with de la Burde at his house. She drove home but felt uneasy; de la Burde had been severely depressed over personal and financial troubles. Unable to reach him by phone later that evening, she returned to his home the next morning—and found him dead on the couch, a single bullet wound in his head, his handgun at his side.
Beverly blamed herself for leaving. And there were echoes of a past tragedy: Beverly had never recovered from her father's suicide 22 years earlier. "It has forever haunted me that I wasn't there to help when I should have been," Beverly says. "So when this happened to Roger—well, you always blame yourself that there was something you could have said or done." Beverly's overblown sense of responsibility struck David Riley, an ambitious state investigator, as suspicious. Then he discovered that de la Burde had a younger lover, who was about to bear his child. Beverly, he argued, was a spurned woman who had staged a suicide to mask a murder.
There was one major problem with Riley's theory: In internal memoranda, both the local and state medical examiners had deemed de la Burde's death a suicide. A test performed by a state forensic scientist found extensive gunshot residue on de la Burde's right hand, strongly suggesting that he was the shooter. But it took five years for Beverly and Katie to learn about those findings. For reasons that are still hotly contested, the jury never heard testimony about the suicide memos or the gunshot-residue report. Instead, the state medical examiner's office, after meeting with Riley, labeled the death a homicide. (When contacted for an interview, Riley declined to be quoted. But he denied influencing the medical examiner's decision or manipulating Beverly or the evidence.)
Incredibly, Beverly didn't tell her daughter, a lawyer, that she'd been questioned by the police. Katie Monroe, who was living an hour away in Charlottesville, where she was clerking for a judge, didn't find out until weeks later that her mother was under suspicion. "Mom has no alarm system," she says. "She trusted the police."
By then it was too late. In the course of cooperating with the police, Beverly signed a statement saying she had been at de la Burde's home when he shot himself—even though an eyewitness and a time-stamped receipt from a grocery store proved otherwise. Beverly says she had no choice: The police had threatened to have her charged with first-degree murder if she didn't sign. From that point, it was a small leap for prosecutors to assert that Beverly had not only witnessed de la Burde's death but also pulled the trigger. And in a final, bizarre twist, prosecutors produced a jailhouse informant who testified—in return for a reduced sentence, Katie later learned—that Beverly had attempted to buy an untraceable gun from her. Beverly says she'd never seen the woman before, but prosecutors insisted that the woman, despite a string of felony convictions, had no reason to lie. Beverly's case was also damaged by inadequate representation by her defense attorney. Jurors took less than three hours to find Beverly guilty of first-degree murder.
"I have these very visceral memories of wanting to physically protect Mom," Monroe says, fighting back tears, "and of not being able to keep people from taking her away." Monroe filed appeal after appeal and succeeded—after Beverly served six months in jail—in getting her out on bail for two and a half years. But ultimately those appeals failed. On the final weekend before Beverly had to report to prison to serve the remainder of her sentence, the family gathered at her small, cedar-clad house, which Beverly had put up for sale to pay her legal bills. As their mother packed, Monroe, her older brother and her younger sister watched in nervous dismay. "We were shells of people, just husks of people," Monroe says. "Mom was trying to rally us, and we just wanted to disappear into the floor." That night, unable to sleep, Monroe crept into Beverly's room. "I'll make sure that you come home, I promise," she told her mother in the dark. "We're going to fight this and win." After the family drove Beverly to the prison the next morning, Monroe went back to her mother's house, crawled into Beverly's bed and cried for three days. "I really felt I might die," she says.
By this time, Monroe was working at her dream job, shaping civil rights policy for refugees, women and minorities at the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in Washington, D.C. But after her mother was imprisoned, she quit to dedicate herself to her mother's case, relying on savings, credit cards and her boyfriend's earnings from his job at a photocopy shop to get by. She filed a motion of habeas corpus and persuaded two savvy and committed Richmond lawyers to adopt Beverly's cause. "Katie was really the spur, the squeaky wheel, asking, 'How about this? How about that?' " says Steve Northup, the senior attorney on the case.
Back then, Monroe was dating Andy Montague, a lanky, blue-eyed artist from Montana whom she'd met at a Ziggy Marley concert when she was 29 and he was 27. Now they worked around the clock in her D.C. apartment, assembling the facts Katie needed to appeal the conviction. As the case ground slowly through the courts, their personal life moved forward, too. "We talked about getting married because we loved each other so much," Katie says. "But Mom was in prison, and I wasn't going to get married without her."
When their son, Asher, was born in 1998, the couple moved to Richmond so Montague could go to art school, Monroe could more easily work on the case, and Asher could see his grandmother. "Seriously, that's all Asher knew," Monroe says. "For the first three years of his life, he visited Mom in prison every weekend." As they arrived one day, Asher looked up at the razor wire and said, "Mimi's house!" That practically undid Monroe. "Not for long," she vowed through gritted teeth. "If I have to bust her out with a tank, it's going to happen."
Judge Richard Williams, an affable but keen-eyed old Southern liberal, first heard Beverly's case in 1999. He granted her attorneys the right to see the full police and prosecution files on the case and gave them the power to question witnesses.
Gradually, all the secrets tumbled out: the original suicide reports, the gunshot-residue test and the deal with the jailhouse informant. By April 5, 2002, three years into the process, Williams had seen enough. "This case is a monument to prosecutorial indiscretions and mishandling," he thundered in his decision. "Nothing can be more egregious in a criminal case than denying a defendant the raw material needed to secure a fair trial." Evidence that could have cleared Beverly Monroe "appears to have been in the possession of the commonwealth at all times, and for reasons never explained, it was withheld from the defendant." Then the judge vacated Beverly's conviction and set her free. She had been in prison for seven years. Now she needed to restart her life.
And so did her daughter. Monroe's relationship with Montague, which had survived the hardest years of Beverly's confinement, foundered once the battle was won. "You're leaving now?" Monroe asked incredulously, but on some level she understood. "It had not been easy living with the Monroes all these years." She too needed a break from the emotional upheaval of her mother's case. "I wanted to slam that chapter of the book shut," she says. "Close the whole book and move on. I hadn't realized how much healing needed to be done."
Monroe landed a job with the Constitution Project, a bipartisan think tank in Washington that advises Congress on ways to fix the criminal-justice system. Soon she was working alongside former U.S. attorney general Ed Meese, Justice Alito and a host of other notable public officials. Glamorous and fast paced, the job threw her into the heady world of D.C. power politics. But by 2006, when Monroe got a call from a friend in Utah about the job at the Rocky Mountain Innocence Center, she was ready to return to the grueling, poorly paid and often frustrating cause that she now realized was her life's work.
Back in her Salt Lake City bungalow, curled on the couch sipping green tea, Monroe is on a roll. She's helping a group of exonerated prisoners stage a rock concert for an upcoming Rocky Mountain Innocence Center benefit, and she's jetting around the West, talking to police and prosecutor groups about avoiding the errors that land the wrong people in prison. "No one wants to make these mistakes," she says. But fighting for innocent prisoners is a race against time, and Monroe often feels she's falling behind. "Look, all too often someone's being wrongfully convicted, right?" Monroe says. "There's no question that these convictions are preventable, if we could just get out on the front end and improve the way that law enforcement does its business. But getting that work done!" Monroe throws up her hands, then stops and laughs at her own intensity.
The new job she's just taken may make her work easier: This fall Monroe will start working for the national Innocence Project, expanding its outreach to victims' organizations, police groups and prosecutor organizations in D.C. "It's a great fit for me," Monroe says. For her, the move means going home—and that feels right. She looks up and smiles: Asher, 14, has come in wearing a T-shirt that says EXECUTE JUSTICE, NOT PEOPLE. They need to get on their way; The Tempest is being staged at the university playhouse, and Monroe, once again, is running late. But Asher doesn't mind a quick interrogation. "I don't see her as a kick-ass mobilizer person," he says. "I just see her as my mom." He gives her a hug and a sweet, braces-filled smile. "But if I were thrown in jail, I would definitely call her. Because I know she'd get me out."

EPA is caught in a perfect political and economic storm that's slowing efforts to meet Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996 goals. New leaders with new priorities are coming onboard just as the federal budget sequester sets off furloughs (about 10 days per employee in many divisions) and reductions in the use of outside contractors.
Bottom line: Deadlines for regulatory action on perchlorate, carcinogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and long-term revisions of the lead and copper rule (LCR) are being pushed back. No final rules will be issued this year and any proposals scheduled for 2013 probably won't be published.
EPA Administrator nominee Gina McCarthy comes out of the agency's Office of Air and Radiation, the agency's most active division, given its focus on greenhouse gases and climate change. As a result, contamination from shale gas development (hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to harvest the nation's abundant natural gas supplies) is the only drinking water issue on the agency's priority list these days.
Peter Grevatt, the new director of the EPA Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water, took over the job last fall from Cynthia Dougherty, who headed the office for many years. A career agency employee, his most-recent posting was dealing with children's health issues, which was outside the drinking water office.
"Peter has said in presentations to us and other groups that he wants to 'get the science right' on new rules and not just rush to meet a deadline," says Bridget O'Grady, Association of State Drinking Water Administrators policy and legislative affairs manager.
EPA's most contentious drinking water issue has been perchlorate, an acid that occurs naturally but is manufactured for rocket fuel, fireworks, flares, and explosives.
The George W. Bush Administration said the chemical didn't meet two of the three criteria in the Safe Drinking Water Act, the law that kicked off development of primary standards. All the "bad actors" identified in the 17-year-old law are now regulated, so new targets, like perchlorate, present the agency with tougher decisions. One is whether the cost to utilities to filter a contaminant justifies what in some cases are narrow public health benefits.
Efforts to establish a maximum contaminant level (MCL) for perchlorate have advanced slowly and are awaiting an EPA Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) recommendation on something called an enhanced physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model with which to calculate the MCL.
When he issued recommendations in March, Stephen Roberts, chairman of SAB's Perchlorate Advisory Panel, said finalizing the model could take up to 10 years. However, Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies Director of Regulatory Affairs Scott Biernat thinks the agency's preliminary work on the model makes publication of a proposed rule in 2014 likely.
Beginning this month, water utilities no longer have to physically mail a copy of their consumer confidence report (CCR) to each customer. Instead, they can note a URL on the paper bill which directs the customer to the report on the utility's website.
Utilties must make an effort to reach customers, such as apartment dwellers, who may not receive a water bill directly. Customers also must be able to request a written report.
American Water Works Association (AWWA) Director of Federal Relations Alan Roberson expects most major city water departments to opt for the URL. "But it may be easier for small systems, those serving 50 or fewer people, to just continue putting the report in the bill," he adds.
What's your operation doing? How are you addressing the requirement regarding communicating with people in apartments and other multiunit housing?
E-mail Editor in Chief Stephanie Johnston at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson designated those 16 for either revised or first-time standards in February 2011. Some, like TCE, have an MCL; some don't. Jackson wanted to work on all 16 as a group, but the agency has given up on that, according to Biernat. Whether McCarthy and Grevatt feel likewise is uncertain.
Musical chairs are also slowing revisions to the lead and copper rule (LCR), which EPA first promulgated in 1991.
The agency's major review in 2004 indicated a need for "substantive changes." Requirements under consideration include sample site selection criteria, tap sampling procedures, water quality parameters monitoring, and — the most controversial — lead service line replacement. Utilities are responsible for water lines to the curb; property owners for the lines from the curb to the home or business. The agency wants an agreement from both parties to replace both lines, when necessary, at the same time.
However, EPA isn't going to roll up its sleeves to tackle that issue until after the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act goes into effect Jan. 4, 2014. The law changes the definition of "lead-free" under the Safe Drinking Water Act by:

Remembering D-Day
I know this topic is not baseball-related in any fashion, but on this day (June 6, 2009), I would like to take a moment to pause and reflect on D-Day, the date during World War II when U.S. and British Forces attacked Normandy, France to truly enter the European Theater of the War. I believe that the attack, to this day, remains the largest amphibious assault in the history of the U.S. Armed Forces. It was a remarkable physical and technical achievement, and could could have been accomplished without the sacrifice of many great soldiers.
My Grandpa, Ray Koenig (still alive and kickin' at nearly 87 years of age) was a Pathfinder during the D-Day invasion, meaning he dropped behind enemy lines (approximately near the town of St. Mere-Eglise) the night before the beach assault with the objective of taking key bridges and holding them. The mission was dealt a huge setback right from the very beginning, as thick cloud cover forced the planes to miss their drop zones…scattering the Pathfinders all over the countryside. Once they regrouped, however, they were able to successfully complete most of their objectives and provide invaluable support once the beach assault was completed.
On days like these, I am reminded of the great sacrifice that my Grandpa and countless others made for this country. We truly do owe them a debt of gratitude (as we do to ALL veterans of any Armed Forces) that can really never be repayed.

Didier Reynders meets with Iurie Leanca, Prime Minister of Moldova
In Brussels today, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders met with Iurie Leanca, Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova, and his colleague, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Natalia Gherman. Didier Reynders congratulated the Prime Minister on his recent appointment, which brought an end to the political crisis in Moldova.
They discussed bilateral relations and stated their satisfaction regarding police cooperation and increased trade between both countries. Didier Reynders confirmed to Prime Minister Leanca that he would pay a visit to Moldova in early September with his Benelux colleagues.
Relations between Moldova and the European Union were also discussed. Minister Reynders expressed his appreciation of reform efforts in Moldova in the framework of the European Union's Eastern Partnership. The reforms are being carried out with a view to signing an Association Agreement and a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement. Negotiations in this respect have just been completed. Belgium has always advocated a rapprochement between Moldova and the European Union in the framework of the Eastern Partnership.
Visa liberalisation was discussed to round off the meeting. Didier Reynders stated that Moldova first has to implement the European Action Plan before further steps can be undertaken in this regard.

IOWA CITY, Iowa - The University of Iowa and Iowa State University have extended the contract that will ensure the Hawkeyes and Cyclones compete in the annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series football game through the 2021 season. The joint announcement was made Wednesday by UI Director of Athletics Gary Barta, and Jamie Pollard, director of athletics at ISU.
"We are pleased to have the contract extended through the 2021 season," said Barta. "In-state rivalries are an exciting part of college athletics, and you can feel a different energy across the state during the week of the Hawkeye-Cyclone matchup."
Iowa and Iowa State have played annually since resuming the series in 1977 in Iowa City. The teams first met in 1894, with Iowa holding a 40-21 advantage in the series. The Hawkeyes claimed a 27-21 win earlier this season in Ames and have won four of the last six meetings.
The latest extension calls for the teams to meet in Iowa City on Sept. 8, 2018 and Sept. 12, 2020. Iowa will travel to Ames for games on Sept. 14, 2019 and Sept. 11, 2021. The previous contract included annual meetings through the 2017 season. The teams are scheduled to meet in Iowa City on Sept. 13, 2014.
"The annual contest with Iowa State is anticipated each year by fans of both programs," said Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. "With the changing of the conference schedules, we are happy this series will be continued without interruption."
Iowa (7-4 overall, 4-3 Big Ten Conference) has won its last two games and three of its last four. The Hawkeyes travel to Nebraska (11:06 a.m. CT, ABC) Friday, Nov. 29, to close the regular season in the third annual Hy-Vee Heroes Game. The Hawkeyes are bowl eligible for the 12th time in 13 seasons and have won at least seven games in five of the last six years.

Fit in the First State is brought to you by the team at ATI Physical Therapy, a nationally-recognized physical therapy and sports medicine provider with over 200 locations nationwide and 24 right here in the First State. From stretching programs to exercise routine tips, our team brings you valuable health and fitness-related posts to help you get there to reach your health goals.
Physical therapists often help individuals restore many parts of their bodies they need to function – knees, backs, ankles, hips, and much more. But, nothing may be more important than restoring someone's hand.
Whether it's typing, eating, driving, lifting, or getting dressed, hands are essential parts of our everyday life. Lydia Hohman, a certified hand therapist with ATI Physical Therapy,, explains how hand therapy can help people get back to living – whether they suffer from a chronic condition like arthritis or a more acute injury such as a broken bone.
Lydia, like many other certified hand therapists, is an occupational therapist by trade rather than a physical therapist. While there are many similarities between the two professions, an occupational therapist in an outpatient hand therapy setting focuses on evaluating and improving a person's activities of daily living, particularly those related to upper extremity use. To celebrate April being National Occupational Therapy Month, we're divulging some myths and truths about hand therapy.
Myth: Hand therapy can't help my arthritis because there is no "cure."
Truth: There is no cure, but hand therapy can help you learn new ways to cope with your arthritis to minimize pain. Within four to five visits, a hand therapist can evaluate your condition and suggest various types of activity modifications to help you perform daily tasks with minimal pain. In addition, a hand therapist will suggest at-home strengthening and stretching exercises to help you manage your symptoms independently.
Myth: Hand therapy is just for treating hands and fingers.
Truth: Most hand therapists treat a range of upper extremity injuries – including shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, and fingers. Different parts of the upper extremities are all connected to one another, so a broken wrist may cause shoulder pain if someone hasn't moved their arm much after breaking their wrist. Hand therapists understand how each part works together and can do full rehabilitation.
Myth: If I have arthritis and go to a hand therapist to learning coping mechanisms, I can just share the program and exercises with my husband who also has arthritis.
Truth: What may work for one patient may not work for another. During an initial visit regarding arthritis, a hand therapist will do a full evaluation to determine what you have issues with and subsequently address each of those issues. Every program is tailored to be most beneficial to each individual.
Myth: Hand therapy is painful.
Truth: While hands are a very sensitive area, hand therapists understand that and are trained to respect the delicate healing tissues in the hand. Although some pain may occur as a natural part of the healing process, hand therapists do their best to help you return to full function while minimizing the pain whenever possible in the process.
Myth: I have to wait until my bone or wound heals until I can begin hand therapy.
Truth: Hand therapists help the healing process by starting therapy very soon after surgery. If a patient has plates, screws, or stitches put in, therapists can begin rehabilitation within a week of surgery to begin restoring function. Many times, the first few weeks are spent minimizing swelling and encouraging gentle motion before moving on to strengthening exercises. Depending on the severity of an injury, a patient may spend anywhere from two to four months in hand therapy.

When writing a document that is divided into numbered sections and subsections, sometimes I would like to refer a certain subsection that has been numbered 2.3, for example. Here the 2 represents the section number and 3 is the subsection number within section 2.
Should I refer to "Section 2.3" or "Subsection 2.3"?
To me, the latter seems tautological (or at least not completely necessary) since the "sub-" component of "subsection" is implied by the number 2.3 itself.
[PS: I picked a fairly vague tag since I cannot create a more suitable tag]

The importance of Judaism's sacred texts extends far beyond their religious significance. These ancient documents embody not only Judaism's religious precepts, but also the historical, cultural and social heritage of the Jewish people. In Israel, where attitudes towards tradition range from the ultra-orthodox to the secular, sacred texts carry a variety of meanings - from a spiritual, moral and practical guide to everyday life, to a historical and cultural wealth which is critically examined and studied.
Responsa are a Jewish "common law." Usually originating in laypersons' queries to rabbis, they date to the Talmudic period. By the tenth century, as the Jewish dispersion widened, the number of responsa reached tens of thousands. Although the first collection of responsa appeared in the first half of the eighth century, the arbiters did not generally publish their responsa in book form, as many do today.

Callahan Knocks Off Second Seeded Foe, Will Take Shot At NCAAs Saturday
Junior Ryan Callahan will take on fourth-seeded Ian Korb of Penn Saturday for an automatic berth in the NCAA Championships. Callahan recorded his second win over a seeded opponent Friday night and will be one of three placewinners for Princeton at the 109th EIWA Championships.
While senior Zach Bintliff and freshman Scott Gibbons will both earn a spot on the podium, both lost their final match of the evening and will fall short of the automatic bids at their weight class. Freshmen Max Rogers and Judd Ziegler, as well as junior Dan Santoro, both lost their first matches of the evening session and were eliminated from the tournament.
The story for Princeton is Callahan, who won seven of his final 10 matches of the regular season and carried that momentum into the EIWA Championships. After his morning upset of third-seeded Greg Zannetti of Rutgers, Callahan dropped a one-point match in the quarterfinals. He didn't allow that loss to affect his focus in the second session, which began with a first-period pin of Sacred Heart's Sam Sheppard.
That set up a rematch with seventh-seeded Cameron Croy of Harvard; Callahan defeated Croy 7-3 during the regular season, which had been Callahan's biggest win of the season prior to the Zannetti match. Callahan proved that win wasn't a fluke, as he defeated Croy 5-3 in his final match Friday.
That sets up a showdown with Korb in the consolation round; while it won't be Callahan's final match of the day, it will be the most important one. The NCAA is taking four wrestlers at the 174-pound weight class, and the winner of the Callahan-Korb match will go to the third/fourth-place final. Both competitors in that match will advance to NCAAs, while the fifth-place winner will not.
Callahan dropped a 10-4 decision to Korb during the final weekend of the regular season, but he had also been beaten by Zannetti during the regular season as well.
Both Bintliff and Gibbons will wrestle for seventh place. Bintliff scored a 3-0 decision over Brown's Zachary Tanenbaum to open the evening session, but he fell 3-1 to Rutgers' Ken Theobold in the next round. Gibbons pinned Paul Alessandrini of F&M, but he lost 4-1 to Brown's Ophir Bernstein in the next round. Gibbons and Bernstein have wrestled four times this season, and they split against each other.
In the first round of matches Friday night, Rogers lost 12-3 to Columbia's Penn Gottfried, while Ziegler was pinned by second-seeded Corey Lear of Bucknell. Santoro lost an 8-0 decision to Dan Seidenberg of Rutgers.

You seem to have some sort of confusion here.
"Preocupar" means:
"Molestar" literally means:
"Molestado" needs some elaboration particularly in its use. It is gramatically incorrect to say "estoy molestado"; you say "estoy molesto" ("I'm annoyed" or "I'm pissed") or "estoy preocupado" ("I'm worried", "I'm troubled").
In the context of having someone make you upset, you would rather say "me han molestado" or "he sido molestado" which both mean more or less "somebody has hassled me" or "I have been disturbed" or even "somebody made me upset" or "I have been bothered".
Maybe if you could give a little more context into why you think both terms mean troubled or worried you could get a better answer.
Hope this helps.

Spend any amount of time on waterways in the Tambopata region and you are bound to see one or more Anhingas. The Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) is one of the most aquatic bird species in the Amazon basin and is a fairly common resident of the Tambopata region. Although they occur in naturally low numbers, Anhingas are conspicuous residents of oxbow lakes and rivers of Tambopata. This large, long-tailed bird needs open areas of water to fish in and is thus absent from small, shaded creeks that flow through the rainforest.
The Anhinga is easily recognized by its thin neck, sharp, needle-like bill, and long, barred tail. It shares the same habitats as the rather similarly-shaped Neotropic Cormorant but can be told from that species by a longer tail, pointed bill, and plumage (partly brown in young birds, silvery feathers on the backs of adults). Anhingas are excellent swimmers and spend much of their time paddling beneath the surface of the water with webbed feet as they search for fish. After seeing a potential meal, they give chase and attempt to catch their prey with a stab of their sharp beak. They seem to spend the rest of their time with wings partly open as they perch on branches or snags that stick out of the water.
Some interesting facts about the Anhinga:

Supreme Irony? Court Has Its Own Buffer Zone
The U.S. Supreme Court, which Thursday struck down a Massachusetts law that established a 35-foot buffer around abortion clinics, enjoys its own protest-free zone.
A federal law bars protests from the white marble plaza of the U.S. Supreme Court building, an irony that was not lost on supporters of abortion rights. In a press call today, Martha Walz, chief executive officer at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts said the court's decision also raises questions about the buffer zone at the Supreme Court.
Court rules, drawn from the law, ban assemblies, processions and displays on court property.
"No person shall engage in a demonstration within the Supreme Court building and grounds," the rules say. "The term 'demonstration' includes demonstrations, picketing, speechmaking, marching, holding vigils or religious services and all other like forms of conduct that involve the communication or expression of views or grievances, engaged in by one or more persons, the conduct of which is reasonably likely to draw a crowd or onlookers."
The regulation does include a tourist exemption: "The term does not include casual use by visitors or tourists that is not reasonably likely to attract a crowd or onlookers."
The high court is actually facing its own legal challenge over free speech and its buffer zone. Harold Hodge Jr., a Maryland man who was arrested for protesting police treatment of minorities, sued and claimed the law violates the Constitution.
A trial court agreed, the government appealed, and oral arguments will be heard in September in U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, said Jeffrey Light, an attorney in Washington who represents Mr. Hodge.
"The plaza part is a public forum and it's an absolute ban on First Amendment," Mr. Light said. "The way it is now, even tourists with messages on their T-shirts could be arrested."
There is one key difference between the Supreme Court buffer zone and the zone the high court struck Thursday today around abortion clinics. The Massachusetts law keeps people off of public sidewalks, while the court's regulation doesn't.
But supporters of abortion rights are still pushing the idea that the Supreme Court may be acting hypocritically. NARAL Pro-Choice America has posted a graphiccomparing the 35-long buffer zone that was established in Massachusetts with the much larger Supreme Court zone.
A Supreme Court spokeswoman declined to comment.

The Crimson Tide's Power of Pink initiative was implemented in 2004 by former Alabama gymnastics coach Sarah Patterson
Derrick had a legendary career at Alabama, where he was one of the most dominant linebackers to ever play his position
Seventeen of our teams posted scores that were above the national average in their respective sports for the figures that cover the four-year period from the 2008-09 through 2012-13 school years.
The excitement kicked off with our gymnastics team beating Florida on Friday night in a down-to-the-wire contest that ultimately required our two seniors, Diandra Milliner and Kim Jacob, each scoring 9.85 in the final event of the evening to bring home the victory.
Veteran coach Dick Boothbegins his first season onthe University of Alabama track and field coaching staff as the Crimson Tide's jumps coach. As one of the world's most successful jumps coaches, Booth's career has included 49 NCAA individual champions and 150 All-America performances.
"Based on what Coach Booth has accomplished he's one of the top jumps coaches in the nation and we're excited for him to join us," Waters said. "The way he thinks and coaches the sport makes him as good as any coach in any sport. His philosophies and the way he coaches have held true through decades of jumpers. He has a unique was of relating to the student-athletes and bringing the most out of them. He understands that we're trying to create something special here and is excited to be a part of that."
He joins the UA staff after two seasons at Florida where his jumpers helped the Gators to a third-place finish at last month's NCAA Championships. Two of his pupils in the triple jump, Christian Taylor and Will Claye, finished first and second at the NCAA Championships and repeated that performance at the USA Championships to earn a spot on the U.S. team for the IAAF World Championships. The NCAA title was Taylor's second straight outdoor championship and third overall under Booth. Claye was also named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's Field Athlete of the Year during the outdoor season.
"I was at Arkansas when the program got rolling, then at Florida for the first two national championships in program history and now Alabama seems to be offering the same opportunity," Booth said. "I think all the pieces are coming together and with the staff that has been hired, there's not any reason we can't be extremely successful. When I saw Dan's enthusiasm and met the staff in place, I thought `this is something I want to be a part of.'"
During the 2011 indoor season his jumpers scored 30 of the Gators' 52 points that helped the squad win the NCAA Indoor National Championship. Booth had three triple jumpers finish in the top five, led by Claye's national title which he followed with a runner-up finish in the long jump.
In just two seasons his men's jumpers re-wrote the UF record books, recording the top three triple jump marks in school history and two of the top three long jump standards during the indoor season. Outdoors, he coached three of the top four triple jumpers and two of the top three long jumpers in program history.
Prior to joining the Gators, Booth spent a combined 27 seasons as the men's field-events coach at the University of Arkansas with a four year-hiatus between Razorback tenures to serve as the head coach at Louisiana-Lafayette. Every Arkansas school record-holder in the men's field events was either coached or recruited by Booth. During his four-year tenure as head coach at Louisiana-Lafayette from 1985-88, Booth was responsible for two individual national championships, five All-Americans and 19 school record-holders.
Booth served as field-events coach at the Arkansas from 1978-84 and 1988-2009. During his second stint at Arkansas, the Razorbacks captured 14 NCAA indoor track titles with a string of eight consecutive outdoor championships between 1992 and 1999 and another championship streak from 2003-06.
Booth also coached 45 individual national champions and 137 All-America honors at Arkansas as well as 11 Olympians. In addition to his current Florida standouts, Booth's former student-athletes include track and field icons such as Mike Conley, Erick Walder, Hollis Conway, Robert Howard, Edrick Floreal, Brian Wellman, Jerome Romain, Ray Doakes, Matt Hemingway, Melvin Lister and Kenny Evans.
Conley won the gold medal in the triple jump at the 1992 Olympic Games with what remains the second longest wind-aided jump in history. A year later he won the World Championship in the event and had previously won a silver medal in the 1984 Olympics. Conway, one Booth's NCAA Champions at ULL, went on to win a silver medal in the high jump at the 1988 Olympics and a bronze medal in 1992 to become one of just two Americans to medal twice in the event. Conway still holds the American indoor record in the event.
A native of Blue Mound, Kan., Booth completed collegiately in the quarter mile at Ottawa University. He began his coaching career in the Kansas high school ranks with positions at Wellington (Kan.) High School, Fort Scott (Kan.) High School and Shawnee Mission South. He gained a reputation as one of the premier prep field events coach in the country while working with four state record holders in seven seasons at Shawnee Mission South.
He earned his bachelor's degree in physical education from Ottawa in 1966 and a master's degree in physical education from Kansas State in 1970.
Booth and his wife, Merry Lee, have a son, Marc, and a daughter, Reagan Russell. The family has a proud athletic tradition as Marc was a punter for Arkansas' football team, while Reagan was a member of the women's track and field team at Louisiana-Lafayette. Booth also has six grandchildren.

We tend to get a bit dirty on this blog at times, it's kind of hard to avoid considering the subject. This is a new event that recently started a couple of weeks ago. I'm looking forward to checking it out because I do like this club (even though it's a bit risque). If you can imagine Cheers with semi-nude dancers, it's pretty close to this joint.
Monday Night Club at Dancers Royale: Eli Tobias of Black Chapel Tattoo (and former Thee Grotto and Eli's Cribb) is organizing this new Monday night event. MC Kent and DJ Sandy will be spinning and there will be $50 bottles of Three Olives Vodka and Bacardi with half-off any premium bottles. There is no cover to the night which starts up at 10 p.m. Dancers Royale is at 5221 E. Colonial Drive in Orlando; call 407-281-0120.

As a fan of licorice, but not a fan of Twizzlers, there can be a drought of red licorice options when the craving hits me. That's why I was so excited to learn of Red Vines, a traditional licorice confection that's mainly found on the West coast. Which is probably why it took me so long to learn of it.
It took some looking, but I finally found some Red Vines to try. I located the Sugar Free Strawberry vines in Target. Usually I am weary of sugar free stuff because some of the side effects they can deliver and of course the odd aftertaste associated with them. They're a wonderful thing if you can't have the real stuff, but since I can, I don't see much point in eating them. Regardless, I was so eager to get my first taste of Red Vines, I decided to get them. Sugar free or not.
That being said, I was pleased with the flavor of these. It is a standard "red flavor" licorice flavor but with more strawberryness to it. It's a tad sweeter and the berry flavor shows in the aftertaste. It has a nice texture to it; not too sticky so it's lodging itself in my molars but still giving a good chew. If you let these sit out for a few days they do get harder and I find the flavor fades some. The texture also becomes firmer and a little more rubbery. Still tasty, it really just depends on your licorice mood. The twists themselves are a gorgeous red color and are just delightful to look at.
Fun fact, Red Vines are the number one non chocolate confection in the West, according to their website. Pretty cool! I am hoping they get wider distribution out East here so I can try the rest of their line.

I would declare Dylan day a national holiday at least 10 times a year.
Oh and Dylan said his first act as king would be to remake the movie the king and I with a certain 6'3" man with bright red hair and a certain 5'2" geek named Dylan. It would be dirty and would be called the Dirty dirty king and I.
would the theme song be down with the king and would the preview trailers have lots of lense flares?

The Saudi Cultural Attaché's office in Washington this weekend recognized the first graduates of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz scholarship program.
The first batch of graduates included seven doctorates, 142 master's and 49 bachelor's degrees.
In remarks televised at the event, Minister of Higher Education Khalid Al-Angari congratulated the graduates. He said that the scholarship program embodies the Saudi government's focus on education, and noted that a country's citizens are its true wealth.
In an address delivered on his behalf by Khaled Alanagri, DCM, Saudi Ambassador to the US Adel A. Al-Jubeir characterized the scholarship program as a milestone in the field of education and development.
The student address was delivered by Dr. Iman Mohammed Ali, who received a PhD in neurology from Harvard.
At the event, the Cultural Mission presented awards to staff who have worked on behalf of the students since the beginning of the scholarship program, including former Cultural Attaché Dr. Mazyed Almazyed. In addition, students from the Islamic Saudi Academy in Fairfax, Virginia performed traditional dances from the Arabian Gulf.
In September 2006, King Abdullah established a government scholarship program that provides 15,000 scholarships at all levels in the United States. They are for scientific specializations required by the labor market, especially medicine, engineering, computer science, mathematics and physics.

How can I move my AOL contacts to either my GOOGLE contacts or my Motorola Droid X?
Specifically for moving your AOL contacts to your Google account, this page explains how to do that for a number of different E-mail providers. Unfortunately this is their answer for AOL:
So it looks like you're stuck typing them all out manually if you want to move them to your Google account. I don't have a Droid X so I can't dig around in the settings, but I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have any automatic options with that method either.
On the plus side you could use this as an opportunity to pare down your contact list. I do this every few months anyway, just to keep the people I actually need up to date and quickly available.
Edit: But wait! I just found this page which explains a clever way around AOL's lack of export functionality. It's a little weird, and could be considered inconvenient for everyone you want to move over, but at least it would keep you from having to type out all of your friends' and family's E-mail addresses. It relies on the fact that Gmail will auto-add anyone who you send an E-mail.
Edit 2: And yet another solution! This page explains a way to create a .csv file containing just E-mail addresses that you can import into Gmail without having to E-mail everyone twice.

Whether you're a seasoned green thumb with plenty of planting and growing experience under your belt or a gardening newbie, you can benefit from getting ahead of the game when it comes to water management and your garden.
A good, steady supply of water is crucial for healthy growth of flowers, fruit and vegetables. While we can control the quality of the soil, seeds and plants, and sunlight is generally free and reliable, when it comes to rainfall we're pretty powerless. The rain surprises us—it often brings too much water (or not enough) at all the wrong times. Getting your watering needs taken care of before a dry spell can help you avoid the unpredictability of rainfall and ensure the success of your plantings.
No matter where you live, you can experience drought conditions. When you're faced with a drought situation, careful water collecting is critical.
Capturing rainfall in a water barrel is like money in the bank. When you need it the water is there and free to use. Most rain barrels hold 40 to 60 gallons and can be placed near any gutter downspout. They can also be linked together to capture more water. Screening at the inlets keeps out insects and debris. Some rain barrels include a built-in spigot so you can easily attach a hose or fill up watering cans. Be sure to have a level, solid foundation for your rain barrel, as it can weigh over 400 lbs. when full. Not only can captured rainwater be used to water your garden and yard, you can also use it to water indoor plants and wash your car.
And don't let the name fool you—rain barrels aren't always fashioned in a typical barrel design. You can now find "barrels" that look like rocks and log racks. Some have even been built in the shape of a beautiful urn with a spot to place a plant on top.
Good gadgets are a must for every gardener.
Start with a hose—the essential garden tool. There's no greater time waster and watering frustration than a leaky, broken hose. Be sure to test your hoses and faucets in the spring to make sure all are in working order and will be ready when you need them. Look for a hose that's lightweight, easy to store and durable.
A simple rain gauge will let you know just how much water your garden received so you can plan additional watering accordingly (and accurately). You can use a rain gauge when watering with a sprinkler to measure how much water the ground is receiving. Most garden vegetation will thrive on about one inch of water per week.
Shrubs and trees are highly sensitive to drought and will die quickly if not watered. A steady supply of water is critical for newly planted shrubs and trees to get their roots firmly established.
Watering bladders are a great solution. They fit around the base of the plant and water it automatically, providing drip irrigation to keep the water flowing constantly and steadily to the plant over a period of time.
Watering bladders normally hold 15 to 40 gallons and are ideal for not only trees and shrubs but also vegetables like tomatoes.
Place a water timer at your faucet to provide a measured supply of water to your plants. Water timers are inexpensive insurance against forgetting to turn the water off and running the well dry or over watering.
You can easily increase the quality of the soil around your plantings by adding compost, which also helps maximize water use. High-quality soil, rich in humus, compost and earthworms will retain water longer and make it available for plant roots. Roots can also spread through the loose friable soil more easily.
Mulch around flowerbeds and vegetables will decrease the evaporation rate of water at the surface and help keep soil moist. Mulching also cuts into the weed population, which will keep the water supply where it needs to be—with your garden plants. You can choose from a wide variety of mulches to retain moisture. Mulch made from recycled tire rubber is incredibly low maintenance and looks remarkably like natural bark mulch. Because of its makeup, it lasts for years. Organic mulches made of things like leaves, shells, sawdust, woodchips, shredded newspaper or bark are also great options. Mulch can also be made from rock and gravel or plastic.
Water seeps through the container, providing moisture to the roots of your plants. Simply bury the olla in the soil of your garden, leaving the neck with topper exposed. Fill it with water and check it periodically. The Olla is an ancient technology that is eco-friendly and conserves water, as none is lost to evaporation or runoff.

I have come up with a sort of cool idea (well, in my opinion) for a new pokemon game (yeah, you can call me a "weirdo", "pokefreak" or "superNurd" i dun care!)
the name of it is: Pokemon Dysilli: Secrets beyond the Arceus Rainbow and Pokemon Ovilyisk: Mysteries in the Shaymin Feilds [pronounced Die-See-lee and Oh-Vill-Ee-Ehsk]
special features (i guess more will be added):
~Player can choose between 3 different outfits to wear (instead of wearing the generic outfit)
~free for all option in battle mode (up to 6 players in one battle)
~home is in a city instead of a town
~20 new TMs and 2 new HMs
~your nemesis is your own twin [talk about sibling rivlary! ]
~Takes place in the Evirah Region [50 new pokemon, i just have to come up with the sketches for them '] [pronounced Ee-Vai-Rauh]
~PLOT: every 50,000 years, the core of the world becomes enflamed and produces a very valulable stone called "the forgiveness stone", nobody knows what it does or how it survives in the molten lava. this year, 3 stones were born and the earth celebrated... little did they know that a fourth stone, hidden in the sedimentary glaciers of the northern pokemon world cracked open, releasing an evil pokemon only know as "the inevitable" (i'll think of a better name for it later) this caught the attention of the most prominent pokemon proffessors around the regions, they have all traveled to see this magnificent being for themselves. all but one, a woman by the name of Proffessor Cykillia... she wasn't invited to come so she remained in _________ city [i'll figure out the name later]. the hero (you) has to go on an adventure to become a pokemon master and figure out how to stop this evil....
~5 new legendary pokemon [all obtainable i might add]
~Has both gyms badges and contest badges that you'll have to earn (just so people don't get bored as fast)
~pokemons contests styled similar to the anime (visual, make your own creative appeals, dance competition and then a battle)
~New version of Dance competition in pokemon [more like DDR]
more to come ^ ^

Tucker Scores for Women's Hockey in 2-1 Loss at Union
Box Score
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (1/10/14) - Freshman Cassidy Tucker scored for the Princeton women's hockey team to make it a one-goal game but it wasn't enough as Union won 2-1 at Messa Rink on Friday, Jan. 10.
The Tigers have seen themselves with a two-goal deficit at Messa Rink before, in 2010 when they rallied for a 3-2 overtime victory. This time, however, Princeton (9-8-2, 6-6-1 ECAC) couldn't get the tying goal it needed, losing to Union (8-12-1, 3-6 ECAC) for the first time in series history.
After a scoreless first period, A power-play goal by Stefanie Thomson at 2:26 put the Dutchwomen on the board and Kathryn Tomaselli made it a 2-0 game less than two minutes later at 4:06.
Tucker made it a one-goal game at 15:06 of the third period. Sophomore Jaimie McDonell found freshman Hilary Lloyd who fed Tucker for a backhand for the 2-1 score.
Princeton battled to get the tying goal but Union netminder Shena Lundberg was solid down the stretch. With 1:12 remaining the Tigers used an extra skater but Brianna Leahy hit a pipe, Ali Pankowski had two shots blocked, Rose Alleva shot wide and Sally Butler was stuffed by Lundberg.
Lundberg finished the game with 28 saves while the team blocked 27 other shots. Princeton's Kimberly Newell made 21.
The Tigers look to get back on track tomorrow at Rensslaer when the teams face off at 4 p.m.

Avian Influenza
Highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza (HPAI H5N1) is primarily a bird disease that is particular to domestic poultry, but can also infect most other birds both domestic and wild, and to a lesser extent, mammals. It is one of many types of avian influenza viruses. The HPAI H5N1 virus that is causing high mortality in poultry and wild birds in other countries has been identified in Asia, Africa, India, and Europe, but to date has not been found in North America.
One of the most widely held speculations of the movement of the virus to North America is through wild migratory birds, particularly waterfowl and shorebirds in the Pacific Flyway. Department of Fish and Wildlife personnel are currently monitoring this and other diseases that could enter California via migratory birds.

The plan lays out a sampling strategy that prioritizes bird species based on the likelihood that they would intermingle with infected wild birds from other parts of the world. Sampling efforts will focus on areas with the highest concentration of these priority species and will include:
- live birds,
- hunter-harvested wild birds,

Reporting Dead Birds
Where to report sick/dead birds or groups of sick/dead birds:
- Individual sick or injured birds in the wild should be left untouched where they are found and be reported to the local CDFW office and/or wildlife rehabilitation centers. Except for unusual circumstances, callers will be referred to a wildlife rehabilitator.
- Dead wild birds numbering four or less should be reported to the Dead Bird Hotline at 1-877-968-2473 or by visiting their website.
- Any domestically reared sick birds or domestically reared birds that have died from disease should be reported to the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) hotline at 1-866-922-2473.

Nothing can excite and amuse a child like the simple joys of a cardboard box. Kidsonroof took this concept and ran with it.
Their amazing cardboard creations range from unique home decor, to funky furniture pieces and unique play structures.
The piece that initially led me to Kidsonroof is this modern Totem Tree—the perfect piece for a tall bookshelf in a nursery, child's room, or any room in the house. It came flat packaged and was so much fun to put together. I love the finished look and put it on the top of Charlie's play shelf in his bedroom. It adds the perfect splash of color to this void white space and I've already received compliments on it from everyone who has entered the room. When Charlie is a little older he'll be able to participate in rearranging birds and leaves, which is lots of fun to do.
Looking for a table and chair set that doesn't break the bank? The Bo Buro is perfect. This sturdy little cardboard table comes complete with two stools and is printed with amusing animals that the kids are sure to love.
The ultimate box play house, the Casa Cabana deco comes in both white or with a few sweet animals like the one pictured above. The solid white Casa Cabana is perfect for little ones to paint or decorate as they see fit and both are ideal for imaginative play. Each Casa Cabana features a door, seven windows, and spy holes. So fun!
These fun Totem Figurines are so adorable and so much fun. Each set includes a variety of animals and a boy and girl. The figurines are printed on only one side so that children can use the blank side to decorate and create their own unique characters. Use them as a decorative accessory or let your children use them to create their own plays and stories.
Play kitchens are a wonderful way for children to pretend and practice their cooking skills, but many can be quite pricey and large. The Cocorico cooker is perfect—it is very affordable and small enough that it can easily be tucked into a lower cabinet in the kitchen or corner of the playroom. Simply add a set of children's cookware or pull a few small pieces from your own kitchen cabinet.
