Oh man, last night JD caught my friend *Joe and me… (Who's *Joe? Read this )
Watching Modern Family. I worked at the magazine yesterday, picked up JD from school at 5:50 PM, semi-cooked dinner, did flash cards (we're studying for his Kindergarten evaluation next week), bathed him, read him two books and tucked him in at 8:30 PM. I jumped in the shower and though I didn't recheck JD, it was pretty quiet and dark, so I assumed like every other night he was sleeping. Sound asleep sleeping.
Joe came over just before 9. For whatever reason, we ended up watching Modern Family in my room and not on the couch like we usually do—I peg this to my exhaustion and not wanting to get it on, haha. It was completely PG: Picture two tired adults in comfy clothes with their backs against a mound of pillows, lights on, watching Modern Family. And fine, drinking a little wine.
Two minutes into the show, JD came running into my room—running so fast, like a bolt of 4-year-old lightening that I didn't hear him coming. Usually, I hear him. I hear the thump when he wiggles off his bed and his little pounding feet on the carpet. Not this time, he just appeared in the blink of an eye. "Mommy!" he said. He was wide awake and smiling. This child did not wake from any slumber. Joe jumped up even though we weren't doing anything except watching TV. I played it cool even though inside I was like, Oh shit! My kid just caught me in bed with a guy! He's never seen a guy in my bed! Crrrrrrap!
Suddenly I was no longer watching Modern Family. Ah, I was living it.
I got up calmly. "What are you doing silly?" I said.
"What is Jooooooe doing here, Mommy?" JD asked with a GIANT grin over a nervous giggle. His eyes were curious.
"He came to watch a show with me," I said.
"Wellllllllll, I have to pee," he said, wiggling and giggling.
"Go get it done, bud" I said! Then I gave Joe a get-the-hell-out-of-my-bed-now look.
By the time JD was done doing his business, Joe was in the kitchen pretending to look for a snack (Goldfish, fruits snacks, veggie sticks, pretzels, mini muffins—keep looking, haha). JD showed off his Super Mario Brothers jammies and high-fived him. "I'm Karate Boy!!!" he said, with an open palm to Joe's.
"OK, back to bed. School and carnival tomorrow night with silly Lily! Gotta rest up."
I tucked him in, re-kissed him and re-I love you'ed him. He smelled like baby powder.
JD went to bed for real. Back in my room I wondered if I should say "Sorry" or something, but I didn't. JD is my no.1 and this is his house. Joe knows this and knows what he's currently in. So, hooray for 5T Mario jammies, pee breaks and being interrogated by a 4-year-old.
My kid caught me watching Modern Family w/ my guy. Could have been way worse. Ah, God Bless locks.
Happy Dance it out friends and tell me, ever get caught in the act by your kiddo? Eeeps!

This week's "Mompreneur" column features an interview with Dr. Marshall Silverman, a board-certified internist with Charlotte, N.C., medical practice Signature Healthcare.
Question: As cold and flu season gets under way, many business owners are thinking about wellness and their bottom line. What advice do you have for entrepreneurs for keeping themselves and their employees healthy and productive?
Answer: We've all encountered days (usually in late February) when walking through your office is like walking through a ghost ship. Half your crew has called in sick, and everywhere you look, there's lost productivity and profits.
Don't let that happen to you this year. Take preventive action now to ensure your business stays shipshape. There's an APP for that: attitude, prevention and pliancy.
Attitude: Studies have consistently shown that a high-stress work environment is one in which the worker has high performance expectations but little autonomy. What type of work-home balance are your employees enjoying? When that balance is disrupted or when stress levels are on the rise, your employees are not just less productive; they are more prone to accidents and illness.
According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, two of the major causes of workplace accidents are inattentiveness and fatigue. What's more, our bodies' immune systems are less able to fight infection when we are physically or emotionally stressed out.
By fostering a work environment that gives your employees flexibility, autonomy and support, and by providing a fair balance between their work life and home life, you are creating an office attitude that is well-adjusted and healthy.
Prevention: Promoting a culture of wellness can be as easy as leading by example. Consider your ability to influence nutrition, exercise, safety and sanitation.
Pliancy: So your receptionist went home yesterday with a sore throat and a barking cough. Being proactive and health-conscious, you instructed him to stay home today as well. Even though we are most infectious before symptoms appear, it is best to stay home until there are no signs of fever for 24 hours.
But now, you are down one receptionist - or one pastry chef, or one CFO. Maintaining a productive office means cross-training your employees so they can take over when a colleague is out sick. Make sure office protocols are centralized such that anyone who is filling in has access to the information needed to get the job done. Alternatively, if your business model allows, enable your "quarantined" employees to work from home.
As the captain of your ship, it's up to you to ensure the wellness of your crew. Have you battened down the hatches? Don't wait for injury or illness to strike. Start preparing today.

Indians fall to Royals in 14 innings
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Nori Aoki singled home Lorenzo Cain in the 14th inning to lift the Kansas City Royals to a 2-1 win over Cleveland after Indians starter Corey Kluber carried a perfect game into the seventh inning on Thursday night.
Cain opened the 14th with an infield single and stole second before Aoki delivered the winning hit off John Axford on a full-count pitch with one out.
Aaron Crow (5-1), the seventh Kansas City pitcher, earned the victory — striking out the side in a perfect 14th.
Left-hander Marc Rzepcynski (0-3), who gave up the hit to Cain, took the loss.
Kluber held the Royals to two hits, retiring the first 19 batters he faced before Omar Infante, who was in a 0-for-16 skid, lined a single to center with one out in the seventh.
Mike Moustakas doubled and scored on a throwing error by left fielder Ryan Raburn in the eighth inning to give the Royals a 1-0 lead. Moustakas hit a fly ball down the left-field line that Raburn nearly caught. When Raburn tracked down the ball in foul territory, he spiked a throw that rolled into center field.
The Indians tied it in the ninth off Greg Holland, who blew his second save in 28 chances. Holland walked Carlos Santana leading off the inning, and pinch-hitter Chris Dickerson bunted him to second. Gomes' two-out single to center scored Santana.
2014 Schedule | Team Page | Standings Stats | Roster | Injuries | Latest MLB news on FOXSports.com
After Infante's hit, Kluber got out of the inning when Alex Gordon struck out, and Infante was thrown out trying to steal second.
Kluber, who allowed only one unearned run in nine innings, struck out 10 and walked none.
Royals starter Danny Duffy, who was 1-5 in his previous six starts, gave up two singles — both to Santana — in seven scoreless innings. Duffy, who also walked two, was pulled after 108 pitches.
Duffy lowered his earned run average to 2.47. He is the only American League pitcher with a losing record with an ERA less than three.
Wade Davis, who replaced Duffy, pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the eighth. With one out, he permitted singles to Jose Ramirez and pinch-hitter David Murphy sandwiched around a walk to Jason Kipnis. Davis then got Michael Brantley to ground into an inning-ending double play.
NOTES: The Royals sent Jimmy Paredes, who was designated for assignment on July 16, to the Orioles for cash considerations. Paredes appeared in nine games with Kansas City, going 2-for-10. He hit .305 with Triple-A Omaha. … Indians SS Asdrubal Cabrera wasn't in the lineup for the third consecutive game because of back spasms. … Royals 1B Eric Hosmer was held out of the lineup for the third time in four games with a right hand bruise. He entered in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement. … Aoki was the DH for the first time in his career. … The Indians plan to recall RHP Zach McAllister from Triple-A Columbus, where he is 5-0 with a 2.23 ERA in six starts, and start him Saturday against the Royals.

Apparently, former Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski is just a little confused, at least when it comes to the Birds' current QB, Michael Vick.
Jaws is in the process of unveiling his 2013 QB Rankings for ESPN, and it didn't take him long to get to Vick, who has fallen to No. 25 after a 4-12 season in 2012. Going into last season, Jaworski had Vick ranked 12th, so that's quite a fall.
Thanks to ESPN's communications office, here's a transcript of what Jaworski said during his breakdown:
"Michael Vick checks in at No. 25 in my quarterback rankings. Vick is coming off of a disappointing 2012 season, but all will be different in Philadelphia with a new head coach in Chip Kelly. And I'm certain of one thing – Vick is the most talented quarterback on the Eagles roster.
Vick remains a dynamic player with top-level arm strength and unmatched movement ability to extend plays with his legs. Few can spin it as well as number 7, especially on the run. Kelly will look at Vick and see a multidimensional quarterback that can pressure a defense in a variety of ways.
Vick can get to the edge and outflank the defense, he can beat you from the pocket with an explosive vertical arm that can lift the top off the coverage, and he presents multiple options in the red zone with his movement. The concern of course, is turnovers. Vick had far too many in 2012. Fifteen of them in 10 games; four of those 15 came in the red zone.
Here's the positive as the Eagles transition to Kelly's shotgun, spread attack. Vick was outstanding in the two-minute offense last season with a quarterback rating of 98.
I am going to be fascinated to see Michael Vick in Chip Kelly's up-tempo-speed offense. My initial sense is it will fit Vick very well, less volume offensively, but also defensively. I would not be surprised if Vick ends the season better than my 25th-rated quarterback."
Here are the quarterbacks ranking below Vick:
32. Matt Flynn
31. Jake Locker
30. Kevin Kolb
29. Chad Henne
28. Mark Sanchez
27. Christian Ponder
26. Brandon Weeden
That means that these quarterbacks will be ranked ahead of Vick: Ryan Tannehill, Blaine Gabbert, Josh Freeman, Carson Palmer, and Jay Cutler.
I don't have a huge problem with where he's ranked because of the regime change in Philly and a bad showing in 2012 and rankings, in general, are stupid and don't mean anything.
However, it seems lower than it should be, especially considering Jaws recent praise of Vick.
"I am really excited to see Michael Vick in 2012," Jaws said on ESPN, per Rotoworld. "A more disciplined player will result in fewer turnovers. I would not be surprised if we're getting ready to see the best year of Vick's 10-year career."
Then how are there 24 quarterbacks better than Vick?
At his best, he's certainly capable of being an MVP-type quarterback. He hasn't been at that level since 2010, so I understand the low ranking. But Jaws has offered other endorsements of Vick recently:
On June 30, Jaws mentioned Vick as one of the strongest arms in the NFL.
On May 10th, Jaws offered this assessment:
"The day Chip Kelly was hired, he was going to be wowed by Michael Vick. ... Who would you rather have as your movement quarterback besides Michael Vick? Probably no one. He may not be the guy at 33 that he was at 23 but he still has tremendous quick twitch."
And back in December 2012, when many thought Vick would be gone once the season ended, he said this:
"You can't take away the interceptions, the fumbles, the turnovers. But if you look at his improvement from last year to this year; you look at the improvement from 2010 to 2011 to 2012, I saw significant improvement in Michael Vick's game. I still believe there's quality play left in Michael Vick."
So which is it Jaws? I don't care either way, but can you make up your mind already?

What they SAY
What a shock! A young adult — living life — planning — the future — looking forward to new experiences — and then everything stops… CANCER! It is almost too much to take. This absolutely can't be! It must be a mistake. But it starts to sink in… I have CANCER. What does it all mean?"Doug Ulman
The Ulman Cancer Fund has truly made a dramatic impact in the lives of young adults battling cancer… When you know an organization is really making a difference in people's lives, it's very easy to support them and feel very passionate about it.Michael Greenebaum, partner and supporter
Since the founding of The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults in 1997, we have been inspired every single day by our clients facing cancer with determination and bravery, by our dedicated team for their passion, energy, and expertise, and by our amazing supporters who have made possible our work through their enormous generosity and loyalty.Diana & Lou Ulman, founders
I'm a young adult survivor. I was diagnosed prior to The Ulman Cancer Fund being around, and I know that my cancer would have been more navigable with more resources at my disposal. Being involved is a way to help give back and help others out in their journey.Steve Friedman, former Chairman, UCF Board of Directors
We are inspired by all who confront cancer, pursue treatment, and collaborate in research to find a cure. We are grateful to share this same passion with The Ulman Cancer Fund as we work together to treat young adults facing cancer at our institution.Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center
There's nothing like going into a cancer center and seeing these people directly affected. Anything in my power that I can do to help and try to make their lives better, I will. Since I've started working with UCF, I've met so many inspirational people that keep reminding me why I do what I do.Matt Brown, long-time friend of and volunteer for The Ulman Cancer Fund
We believe in supporting The Ulman Cancer Fund because, unfortunately, we are still needed. Millions of young people are still diagnosed and need focused support services to navigated the complex cancer world. We also support UCF because this organization embodies our family values of viewing every challenge as an opportunity to solve it.Jaki & Ken Ulman, Leadership Circle Members
I cannot thank the Ulman Cancer Fund enough for the positive impact that they have on young adults with cancer and for giving me the privilege to raise funds for their organization.Kiersta Borrego, Team Fight Participant

MSU Law Professor Emeritus Harold Norris Receives New State Bar Legacy Award
East Lansing, MI — The State Bar of Michigan has named Michigan State University College of Law Professor Emeritus Harold Norris as the recipient of its inaugural John W. Reed Michigan Lawyer Legacy Award. The new award will be presented periodically to a law school professor whose influence on Michigan lawyers has elevated the quality of legal practice in the state.
Professor Norris taught Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, and Women and the Law to more than 5,000 students during his 35 years as a faculty member at Detroit College of Law (now MSU College of Law). A widely published author and poet, he is widely known for "The Liberty Bell," a poem about the rights of man reverberating from the cracked bell; the piece hangs in the lobby of the home of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.
Professor Norris, who helped draft the Bill of Rights of the Michigan Constitution, vigorously fought against racial discrimination in Detroit—his hometown—during the turbulent 1960s. He considered his 1991 book Education for Popular Sovereignty through Implementing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights the "capstone" of his career.
Upon Norris's retirement in 1996, he was celebrated by former students and colleagues as "the conscience" of the college, "a champion of . . . the administration of justice," and a "beacon" of the "cherished philosophy of individual liberties."
In 2010, generous funding from the MSU College of Law Foundation enabled the Law College to create a number of honors aimed at recognizing current faculty for outstanding scholarship, teaching, and service while paying tribute to important figures in the school's history. One of the awards is named for Professor Norris, who was honored for his significant influence as a respected teacher, scholar, and mentor at the Law College.
"Professor Norris made a difference," said Brian Kalt, the Harold Norris Faculty Scholar at MSU Law. "To him, the law is not just a set of abstractions to occupy people in ivory towers. In his view—and in his hands—the law was a tool to achieve justice for regular citizens, against abusive government practices. Best of all, for decades he conveyed this vision of the law to his students; my father was one of them, and I grew up hearing Harold Norris stories."
Professor Norris earned his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees from the University of Michigan in 1939 and 1941, respectively, and received his Juris Doctor degree from Columbia University in 1948. He was awarded a Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Wayne State University in 1981, and a Doctor of Laws degree from the Law College in 1989.
The Michigan Lawyer Legacy Award will be presented to Professor Norris at the State Bar's Annual Meeting Awards Banquet on Wednesday, September 14. The banquet will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Dearborn.
Michigan State University College of Law, a leading institution of legal education with a long history of educating practice-ready attorneys, prepares future lawyers to use ethics, ambition, and intellect to solve the world's problems. As one of only a few private law schools affiliated with a major research university, MSU Law offers comprehensive interdisciplinary opportunities combined with a personalized legal education. After 100 years as a private and independent institution, the affiliation with MSU has put the Law College on an upward trajectory of national and international reputation and reach. MSU Law professors are gifted teachers and distinguished scholars, its curriculum is rigorous and challenging, and its facility is equipped with the latest resources—all affirming MSU Law's commitment to educating 21st-century lawyers.

(Courtesy Chris Brackett) By: Mike Suchan, OutdoorChannel.com Chris Brackett really let his hair down in Minnesota. The bow hunting expert of Outdoor Channel's Fear No Evil" Show page and "Arrow Affliction" was among the celebrities to have their heads shaved to benefit cancer. And Brackett prepared by growing it all out. "My girlfriend is a hair stylist and she says, 'I don't know how your hair grows this fast,' " Brackett said. "I looked like Willie (Robertson) from the Buck Commanders. It was like 8 inches long." With no guard on the shears, it all changed at the 2013 Cancer Shoot, organized by the Ultimate Hunt and Pink Arrow Project and benefiting cancer research at the Saltsman Lab at the University of Minnesota. It's known as the Baldies, and Brackett was among those lending his scalp to a worthy cause, garnering an additional $1,000 donation for letting his beard be shaved off. The tremendous change in his appearance was the hit of the night as it left his friends in stitches. "Nobody recognized me. Shawn Michaels and the Keefer Brothers (Chris and Casey), they've known me forever, and they literally laughed out loud all night long I looked so different," he said. "It was a complete shock because I looked exactly like I did when I was in high school. I went 10, 15 years younger. Click image for some shear delight "If the FBI was ever looking for me, I could change (appearances) pretty quick." While he has given his hunting expertise to ailing youth in Kids Hunt for a Cure programs, this in his first widely publicized endeavor. He sees how many more people he reached. "I've been touching people's lives on a one-on-one basis, but this was so cool for me to do and to have that big of chance -- it got tens of thousands of people to follow it on Facebook. Just the awareness it brought was amazing." Helping fight cancer is dear to Brackett. He's had friends and associates affected by the disease, along with two special family members. "My grandfather and my grandmother – my favorite people -- were taken from me when I was really, really young," he said. Brackett said people were following him before the fact, and he had even more salute him after he posted bald photos. "They were all asking, 'Did you lose a bet? Where did it go?' " he said. "When you tell them what it's for, they're all like, 'That's awesome!' " The event included a shooting day, and Brackett said he was glad he got to try out his new Remington Versamax during a pheasant hunt where 3,000 birds were released. Firing 300 shots should get the testosterone flowing and he hopes his quick-growing locks will soon allow him to sport his unmistakable sideburns. "I'll let it go and I might shave my sideburns back," he said. "I'm letting it grow, that's for sure."

Libyan leader seeks to calm West on Sharia fears
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) - After giving a speech that emphasized the
Islamization of Libya, the head of the transitional government is
reassuring the Western powers who helped topple Moammar Gadhafi
that the country's new leaders are moderate Muslims.
National Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil said
Sunday that Islamic Sharia law would be the main source of
legislation, that laws contradicting its tenets would be nullified,
and that polygamy would be legalized.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the U.S. has
seen other "Islamic-based democracies wrestle with the issue of
establishing rule of law." She added that universal human rights
must be "fully respected."
Some nations, such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, follow a strict
interpretation of Islamic law that mandates cutting off the hands
of thieves, the heads of murderers and stoning adulterers to death.
Those who drink alcohol are publicly flogged.

UNDERRATED: 'Bob's Burgers'
Often overshadowed by its cruder cousins on Fox, this series' mix of twisted comedy and genuine heart marks it as one of the first possible heirs to "The Simpsons" in bringing an animated family to life. Recently confirmed for a third season, the show's cast is a comedy nerd's dream with Kristen Schaal, Eugene Mirman and a bone-dry H. Jon Benjamin, which is no surprise given its creator also gave us Comedy Central's cameo-laden "Dr. Katz."

Mumbai: The latest edition of Mumbai police's in house journal Samwad which came out today morning, carried an unconditional apology by female police inspector Sujata Patil, whose poem had sparked off a controversy.
Traffic police inspector (Matunga division) Sujata Patil's controversial poem in an earlier issue of the in-house police journal, had described last year's Azad Maidan protesters as "snakes" and "traitors", whose hands should have been "chopped off".
Patil had already apologised in writing, but today it was published in the latest edition of 'Samwad', police sources said. She did not intend to hurt anybody's religious sentiments or any religion through her poem, she wrote in the journal.
Joint Police Commissioner (Administration) Hemant Nagrale who is also Samwad's editor and publisher, has stated in writing that Patil had already apologised and she did not intend to hurt anybody's sentiments.
"I too agree with her. Samwad is a platform to encourage the creativity of policemen and it is circulated among them," he wrote in the journal's latest issue.
Patil's poem which was published in an earlier issue of Samwad read, "Hausla buland tha, izzat lut rahi thi, himmat ki gaddaron ne Amar Jyoti ko haath lagane ki, kaat dete haath unke toh faryad kisi ki bhi na hoti. Saanp ko doodh pila kar, baat kare hain hum bhaichare ki. (Their morale was high, women were being dishonoured. The traitors had the audacity to touch Amar Jawan Jyoti. Had we cut off their hands, nobody would have complained. We feed milk to the snakes and then talk of harmony".
Her poem, which also suggested that the police ought to have played goliyon ki holi (Sprayed the protestors with bullets), triggered off a huge controversy and prompted Mumbai Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh to order an inquiry.
On August 11 last year, a demonstration called to protest alleged atrocities on Muslims in Assam and Myanmar had turned violent, resulting in the death of two people, injuries to scores, including women police personnel, who were also molested as well as massive destruction of property.

The MBE 2008 season has wrapped up. We had an amazing response from 505 bloggers spanning the world from 11 different countries. The response from publishers & authors was phenomenal too with 72 getting involved offering 465 titles and 1185 individual books to be claimed. Thank you all for participating!
Unfortunately, with this massive unplanned growth (this all started with me offering 38 books on my personal blog) came some chaos, disappointment and angst.
Many bloggers never received the books they claimed, and many books which shipped out by publishers never got reviewed.
Internally, we encountered a bottle neck in getting all the reviews onto the site. While Anne, Dead Robot & I have worked hard to get everything online, we still have a backlog of almost 100 to get onto the site.
This little-project-that-could has had a number of bottle necks, technical issues and shipping troubles causing lost books, missing reviews and leaving a lot of people disappointed and pissed off this year. And for that I'm very sorry!
So, Mini Book Expo is on Hiatus.
It is on hiatus until we can work through,
some of the kinks that have caused:
- people to wait for months to get a book that never came.
- publishers to ship books that never get commented on beyond the release post on Mini Book Expo
- backlogs in getting reviews onto the site
- and a team of well intentioned volunteers to be run ragged.
While we are on hiatus:
- we won't be accepting any new publishers, authors or new titles
- we won't be taking any more book claims
However, we will be working on
- getting the backlog of reviews live on the site.
- finding a way to make the site more consistent, usable, predictable and effective for you.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on how to improve things, (click here), as we go through the process of figuring out how and if we can continue to run Mini Book Expo so it works for everyone involved. (Share your feedback & ideas and comment on other people's ideas on our User Voice Forums)
We have gotten a lot of great books into the hands of a lot of great people.
Thank you for being involved. Thank you for following through. Thank you for caring enough to read this entire post and thank you for all you support, feedback and patience.

Never-till is not just a tag on the bumper of his truck, it's a way of life for New Kent, Va., farmer and Virginia Tech Extension Agent Paul Davis.
The 1,200 acre L.C. Davis and Sons family farm that he helps manage has become a showplace for innovative farming techniques, including a system Davis calls 'never-till'.
Never-till is just that — never till the soil to plant a crop. Critical to a never-till system is finding a good cover crop — the concept being to always keep something green on the soil. To find the optimum cover crop, Davis partnered with Virginia Tech Grain Crop Specialist Wade Thomason.
Included in the on-farm tests were early (Sept. 30), mid (Oct. 20) and late (Nov. 10) planting dates. Varieties planted included barley, planted early, mid, and late; rye, planted early, mid, late and in combination with vetch early, mid and late; oats, planted early, mid and late; vetch planted early, mid and late; and crimson clover, planted early, mid and late.
Cereal rye was by far the best cover crop for the soybean, corn, pumpkin, wheat cropping system grown on the Davis farm. "We weren't surprised about that," Davis says. "However, we were surprised by how big the difference in performance was between rye and other cover crops," he adds.
Priming the pump for each cover crop, they added 25 or 50 pounds per acre of nitrogen, applied at growth stage 25, or mid-February. Biomass yields were bumped from an average of 2.25 tons per acre with no spring nitrogen to 3.5 tons with 25 pounds of nitrogen. No significant increase above 3.5 tons per acre was recorded by going with the 50 pounds of N per acre rate.
Nitrogen uptake, which is measured as yield times nitrogen concentration in the crop, was 120 pounds per acre with spring fertilizer in early planted rye. The next best early planted crop was barley, with 50 pounds of nitrogen uptake. Late planted rye was comparable to early planted barley.
Across all crops, with no nitrogen added, early planting produced approximately 30 pounds per acre more nitrogen uptake than late planted crops. Davis notes that planting date and species are critical when choosing a cover crop for any type of conservation-tillage system.
"The priming affect showed up when we measured the amount of N the crops took up," Davis says. The Virginia farmer/Extension agent explains that 25 pounds of N used as a spring fertilizer produced 80 pounds of nitrogen uptake, compared to only 50 pounds of nitrogen uptake with no spring fertilizer. When the starter fertilizer was upped to 50 pounds per acre, they only saw an increase of 10 additional pounds of nitrogen uptake. "It appears for our growing conditions 25-30 pounds of N used at the 25th growth stage is optimum for top cover crop performance," Davis contends.
Across all crops, rye had the least amount of N left in the soil, indicating this cover crop did the best job of mining available N in the soil. Oats, by contrast, had the highest amount of N left in the soil. Later planting dates also left more N in the soil than early and mid-planted cover crops.
Thomason notes that the first year or two cover crops typically are not efficient in mining nitrogen from the soil. Over a period of years, we expect cover crops will uptake more N, he says, and, we expect to see bigger gaps between nitrogen left in the soil among the various cover crops used in this test," Thomason explains.
Though the on-farm test was run to generate data for Virginia farmers, from a personal perspective Davis says what convinced him to try different cover crops was seeing one of his neighbors produce 95 bushel per acre wheat using very little spring nitrogen. This farmer had been no-tilling for 11 years, and Davis didn't want to wait that long to benefit from reducing nitrogen on the family farm.
"I wanted to grow four crops in two years to speed up the process," the Virginia grower says. "Our first frost date is traditionally on or about Oct. 20 and our last frost date is April 15th, plus we get on average 43 inches or so of rainfall a year, so we should be able to grow lots of biomass," Davis says.
The idea for carbon production from cover crops was enhanced by the Davis family's experience with growing pumpkins. "For our no-till pumpkins, he says, we always planted into a rye, barley, or crimson clover cover crop that had been rolled. We noticed we never had any dirt on our pumpkins at harvest and that weed control was improved and weed control costs were reduced. We knew we wanted to start scavenging more of the residual N in the soil and get more mulch on the soil surface, and the cereal rye cover crop has done the best job for us," he adds.
Barley, oats and even wheat are like the proverbial child born with a golden spoon in their mouth, Davis contends, noting that these crops require special handling. Redneck rye on the other hand, he says will survive most anything and do the job. With one of the coldest Decembers and one of the warmest Januarys on record and a winter-long drought to boot, rye in the 2005-2006 season was put to the test on the Davis farm.
Davis points out that the NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) and State Cost-Share cover crop payments are based on results. Good faith efforts, like broadcast or flying on any cover crop seed, will not guarantee results. In some crop sequences, like going into full season beans there may be enough surface soil accessible to broadcast the cover crop seed, but if you are planting into fields that have heavy soil residue, in most never-till cropping scenarios, no-till seed may never touch the ground when applied by broadcast means of seeding.
Among the other cover crops and planting dates in the test, a bushel of rye and 10 pounds of hairy vetch produced a good cover crop, when planted in both early and mid-October. Davis points out that some wheat growers are concerned about planting vetch, since it sometimes has to be sprayed with herbicides to prevent competition with the wheat crop. Davis contends that vetch can be managed early to prevent it from going to seed and causing problems.
Crimson clover at 20 pounds per acre suffered from the warm winter and drought, but still had a possibility of producing a good volume of biomass, if the area received adequate rain in April, Davis points out.
Oats planted late was probably the biggest disappointment among the cover crops. Davis contends that if you are going to plant late, go with rye and up the rate to 2-2.5 bushels per acre. It's not as good as planting early or mid, but it's better than any other cover crop when planted late, the Virginia Extension agent says.
An additional benefit of never-till in combination with using a cover crop that produces a high volume of biomass is the ability to get into a field after a 2-3-inch rain. Water doesn't stand on these fields, Davis says, and it doesn't compact the soil — it just has the ability to hold you up better, he notes.
Despite not performing as well as rye, Davis says the most economical of the cover crops tested is barley, if the grower can save seed from a previous crop. It won't touch rye in terms of biomass produced or nitrogen uptake, but it could be more economical in some situations, the Virginia farmer points out.
Though further north than other growing areas in the Southeast, Coastal Plain soils of northeast Virginia are typical of soils found up and down the East Coast. Whether rye will hold out as the premier cover crop for no-till or never-till systems depends on cropping systems, weather patterns, availability of equipment and myriad other factors.
Despite the obvious differences from state to state and region to region, Thomason and Davis agree that cover crops are a critical part of any reduced-tillage system. And, as incentive programs are advanced by Federal and state agencies, the wise use of cover crops can make the difference in qualifying for these programs and not qualifying.

"Whodunnit?" is not your granddad's game of "Clue," nor is it a fusty version of an Agatha Christie novel.
"CSI" creator Anthony E. Zuiker, for his first foray into unscripted TV, has come up with a show he's dubbed a "cinematic murder mystery of tomorrow" that's a bit sinister but still "fun and digestible."
It may also be the first of its kind in a new subgenre that Zuiker called "reality fiction," which puts its participants into made-up crime scenarios and captures their in-the-moment reactions.
The nine-episode series, launching June 23 on ABC, tosses 13 amateur gumshoes into one stately mansion to solve staged murders for a $250,000 payday. The killer is among the contestant pool, which includes an ex-cop, a soccer mom, a former Miss Nevada, a nurse, a TV reporter and a private investigator.
Full coverage: Summer TV preview
Unlike the gizmo-heavy "CSI," the participants on "Whodunnit?" will have to use their powers of perception and maybe a magnifying glass to parse clues and point fingers.
"It's a roll-up-your-sleeves game," said Zuiker, who's partnering with reality-show maven Cris Abrego ("The Surreal Life," "Next Action Star") to produce "Whodunnit?" "It relies on common sense, wit and mettle."
A proper British butler named Giles, played by actor Gildart Jackson, will help propel the action by delivering information and clues at Rue Manor. The crimes themselves, unlike the knife-in-the-back of old mystery books, will be "big and promotable," involving explosions and fires, but won't push the envelope with cable-TV levels of blood and gore, Zuiker said.
Zuiker's experience on the "CSI" franchise taught him that TV viewers love to play armchair sleuth, whether they see themselves as Ted Danson or Jorja Fox. On "Whodunnit?" they can go step by step with regular folks.
"These are everyday people being put to the test," Zuiker said. "For those fans who want to live vicariously in solving murders, there's a shorter distance between them and this cast."
Since crime procedurals are all the rage in scripted TV, with Zuiker at the forefront of that trend, he's not sure why few producers have tried to adapt the format into reality series. (Fox's eight-episode "Murder in Small Town X" is one of the only examples.) He thinks "Whodunnit?" may be premiering at a good time, though, with most network dramas in repeats for the warm-weather months.
Not into gunshot residue, hair fibers and homicide? There's an array of reality programming, both new and returning, headed for the small screen this summer that features at-home cooks, globe-trotting adventurers, improvisational comedians, would-be superstars and back-stabbing housemates.
"America's Got Talent," a well-watched NBC staple, will introduce an expanded panel of judges, with Heidi Klum and Spice Girl Mel B. taking over for Sharon Osbourne when the show returns for its eighth season June 4. Host Nick Cannon will be back, along with judges Howard Stern and Howie Mandel, though the venue will switch to New York's storied Radio City Music Hall.
Perhaps one of the broadest-based reality shows on network TV, "America's Got Talent" fulfills that "sense of wonder and discovery" that audiences crave, said Robert Galinsky, founder of the New York Reality TV School, which trains reality TV hopefuls to be camera ready.
PHOTOS: Cable vs. broadcast ratings
"These talent shows will never go away because they're part of the American dream," Galinsky said. "They're the symbol of, 'Work hard, take a chance, and you can make it.'"
With "The Voice" on summer hiatus, NBC plans to air another singing-related contest in "The Winner Is…" with Nick Lachey as host. The series, which has a game-show twist, starts July 11.
A sweet-treat talent show that centers on skilled amateur cooks premieres May 29 on CBS. Based on a British hit, "The American Baking Competition" will try to dish up the funny alongside the cookies and tarts with comedian Jeff Foxworthy ("American Bible Challenge," "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?") as host.
There's an adventure and exotic-locale trend brewing across network and cable. "Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls," shot in New Zealand and coming to NBC on July 8, will have the former "Man vs. Wild" host leading 10 teams of two contestants on a "non-stop extreme-survival journey."
On TNT, "72 Hours" will drop nine people into remote areas with precious few provisions, including a single bottle of water, when it launches June 6. Hawaii, the South Pacific, Fiji and the Southern Rockies serve as backdrops for the action.
"The Hunt," a similarly themed wilderness competition show coming to the CW on July 31, won't give its participants any food, shelter or water. They'll have to capture what they need, including one another, to win a cash prize.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
And for the ultimate in deprivation, Discovery Channel will air "Naked and Afraid," which dumps pairs of strangers in the buff into harsh environments like the Serengeti plains and the Borneo rain forest for 21 days. The series, which debuts June 23, is a follow-up of sorts to the channel's spring show, "Naked Castaway."
It wouldn't be summer without subterfuge, with CBS' perennial hit, "Big Brother," returning two weeks earlier than usual, on June 26. The "social experiment" that crams a bunch of strong-willed schemers into one house will air Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the latter being the live eviction show.
Another reliable audience pleaser, ABC's "The Bachelorette," premieres Monday, though it won't be the only relationship show on TV this summer. The CW plans "Perfect Score" on July 16, where contestants win cash and dates if they pick their ideal match.
Escapism and uplift will be part of the reality offerings, too, with NBC's "Hollywood Game Night" based on cocktail parties at actor-producer Sean Hayes' house. The series, with host Jane Lynch, starts July 11 and will allow a few regular Joes to play pop culture-based games with A-listers like Amy Poehler, Jason Bateman, Martin Short and Kristen Bell.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
"It'll be fun to watch celebrities not in rehab," Galinsky said. "And since these parties were actually happening organically, this show's less likely to be a cliché of reality TV."
Classic sketch show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" gets a revival on the CW, debuting July 16, with actress-comedian Aisha Tyler stepping into shoes previously filled by Drew Carey. Improv masters Wayne Brady, Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie return from the original show, with a rotating guest lineup filling out the panel.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson hosts a new reality show, "The Hero," coming June 6 to TNT, where contestants have to complete missions that will test "their brains, their brawn and even their morality." ABC's inspirational-aspirational "Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition" returns Tuesday to whittle the waistlines of the overweight.
On opposite ends of the cultural spectrum, two powerhouse cable reality shows, TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" and E!'s "Keeping Up wWith the Kardashians" return this summer. The rural Georgia-set "Honey Boo Boo" may offer up a wedding — that would be Mama June and Sugar Bear — after its July 17 kickoff, and "Kardashians" will follow sister Kim's impending motherhood during a season that starts June 2.
Series like these have taken the place of sitcoms and over-the-top melodramas for many viewers, Galinsky said.
"They're not so far from what we used to watch, like 'I Dream of Jeannie' or 'The Beverly Hillbillies' or 'Knots Landing,'" Galinsky said. "Not much has changed about what people like to see on TV, the shows just manifest themselves a little differently."

The "I Just Work Here" Internship Program — should such a thing ever exist — would be the gold standard of temporary employment.
First off, as an intern to America's most beloved workplace advice columnist, you'd be given the title "America's most beloved workplace advice intern."
Second, your primary duties would include:
•Helping me come up with excuses to go out and get a snack
•Going with me, because I hate to snack alone
•Helping me find ways to sneak more bathroom humor into my columns.
Of course my "bosses" tell me we don't have the "budget" to "hire me a snack partner, er, intern." But that doesn't stop me from pondering the subject.
And I've been pondering it more than usual after hearing about a recent intern matter. A reader was having a hectic day and asked an intern to go for a cup of coffee. The intern bristled and refused.
Was the reader out of line for asking? Is it ever acceptable to ask interns to engage in stereotypically intern-ish work, such as making copies or fetching sandwiches?
Let's first examine the nature of the internship.
Ross Perlin, author of "Intern Nation: How to Earn Nothing and Learn Little in the Brave New Economy," said the concept of interning goes back thousands of years to when young people worked as apprentices in the trades.
"But internships as we know them, in the past 30 or 40 years, have become something like a rite of passage, kind of a shared cultural experience that just about anybody who wants to break into the white-collar world has to go through," he said.
This has made internships fertile ground for exploitation.
Perlin's research found that internships have replaced entry-level jobs in many industries. Interns are rarely paid well, and the duration of these roles is on the rise. (It's worth noting that under federal wage and hour laws, a for-profit company can offer an unpaid internship only under certain circumstances that include the company receiving "no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern" and the internship being "similar to training which would be given in an educational environment.")
"Maybe 10 years ago, an internship would be like a summer or something, but now people are in an intern state for two years, or they might have to do multiple internships before gaining that full-time gig," Perlin said.
Amanda Kane, president of the New Mexico chapter of the Public Relations Society of America, has worked as an intern coordinator and is concerned about the way many internship programs are run.
"Most companies approach it as free labor for the summer, and that's really not how it should work," she said. "I think it's getting worse because of the economy. You have more people willing to work for free, and many will take advantage of that."
These programs, whether paid or unpaid, need to be about the interns and not about the company's bottom line.
"Taking on an intern is a huge responsibility," Kane said. "You're making a commitment to mentoring that person. A successful internship is one where the person walks away with experience in the field that is quantifiable, hopefully through work samples. You also hope they'll walk away understanding how things work in their industry."
Perlin said there's no "one size fits all" internship program; the people you bring in should get "hands-on, dedicated training and mentoring" and be given a clearly defined role.
The nice thing is, if you are giving the intern a sound, structured, productive experience, the fetching coffee question will likely take care of itself.
Consider this concept I've brought up repeatedly in dealing with workplace issues: Be a decent human being.
If you're treating your interns well and fairly, making them feel like a productive and necessary member of the team, it doesn't seem unreasonable to occasionally ask them to do something mundane, such as picking up a lunch order or making copies before a meeting. And if you really want to ensure that such requests aren't met with consternation or resistance, bring the intern some coffee once in a while. Show that nobody is above chipping in for the greater good.
That would be, in and of itself, a learning experience. A chance to see that jobs, for everyone, are a combination of challenging, exciting work and mundane tasks that have to get done.
Besides, "if you train your interns well, they're going to go out and do good work," Kane said. "Most industries are really so small. When you train someone well and they go out, they're basically an ambassador for your organization, and if they know what they're doing, people are going to ask where they came from."
So bosses, interns are there to learn — teach them and balance the petty tasks with engaging work. And interns, recognize that every job is a mix of fun stuff and dull stuff. As long as the fun slightly outweighs the dull, you're doing just fine.
Should the "I Just Work Here" Internship Program ever come to fruition, I'll explain it all to you over snacks.

BOSTON—With the score tied at 5-5 at halftime, defending America East champion Boston University (6-4, 2-0 AE) outscored the UMBC women's lacrosse team (7-4, 1-1 AE), 8-4, in the second period and defeated the Retrievers, 13-9, Saturday afternoon at Nickerson Field in a rematch of the 2010 league title game.
The Terriers scored the first three goals of the game, but UMBC senior attack Erika Braerman (Fallston, Md./Fallston) tallied twice in 77 seconds, sparking a 4-0 Retriever run. BU regained a 5-4 lead with back-to-back goals by Danielle Etrasco, but a tally by UMBC senior midfielder Amanda Pappas (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) with 12 seconds remaining in the half sent the teams into the break knotted at 5-5.
Junior midfielder Madi Bell (Baltimore, Md./Eastern Tech/Navy) gave the Retrievers 6-5 lead just 3:30 into the second period, but the Terriers rattled off six of the game's next seven goals to go up by a score of 11-7.
With three minutes left, senior midfielder Ashley Stodter (Silver Spring, Md./Good Counsel) curbed the BU run with her second goal of the game, and sophomore midfielder Lindsay Cox (High Bridge, N.J./Voorhees) pulled the Retrievers within two, 11-9, with 2:24 remaining.
But that was as close as UMBC would get, as Boston U. scored twice in the final 1:45 to seal the win.
Braerman, Stodter and Cox all tallied twice for the Retrievers, while junior midfielder Alicia Krause (Ellicott City, Md./Mount Hebron/Duquesne) recorded two assists. Stodter added three ground balls, three draw controls and two caused turnovers and was named UMBC's America East Player of the Game.
Etrasco led all scorers with six points on five goals and an assist and added five draw controls to earn her team's Player of the Game nod, while Molly Swain added four goals.
UMBC senior goalie Natalie Rau (Forest Hill, Md./Fallston) recorded five saves, while BU keeper Christina Sheridan stopped four shots.
The Terriers outshot the Retrievers, 24-14, and dominated the draw controls, 17-7, but UMBC held a 15-13 edge in ground balls.
The Retrievers return to action on Wednesday, April 6, when they host America East rival Stony Brook at 4 p.m.
Notes: Junior attack Emily Coady (Westminster, Md./Westminster) recorded the 100th point of her career with a first-half goal. She joins Pappas and Braerman in the 100-point club, and they are the fifth trio of teammates in UMBC history with 100 points apiece.

Police say Concord drug sales included a 'stash house'
January 30. 2013 10:45AM
CONCORD - Three people are under arrest after a month-long drug investigation that revealed the dealers stored their drugs at a "stash house" in the city, according to police.
Arrested were Myk Neuner, 25, and Kelsey McCarthy, 22, both of 82 Fisherville Road, and Nathan Sarazin, 22, of 51 Storrs St.
Neuner is charged with three counts of sale of a controlled drug, attempted sale of a controlled drug, two charges of criminal liability for the conduct of another and a parole violation. McCarthy is charged with five counts of sale of a controlled drug and one charge of criminal liability for the conduct of another. Sarazin was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of controlling the premises where controlled drugs are kept.
"He (Sarazin) was keeping the drugs at that location and they (Neuner and McCarthy) were getting the drugs from there and then distributing them," said Lt. Timothy O'Malley, commander of criminal investigations. "It's definitely different."
Neuner and McCarthy allegedly sold an assortment of drugs including marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, dilaudid (a prescription pain medication) and oxycodone.
Investigators obtained warrants to search both the Fisherville Road and Storrs Street residences. O'Malley said they recovered evidence but would not say what that was.
Neuner and McCarthy were arraigned Tuesday in 6th Circuit Court, Concord District Division. Neuner was ordered held on $30,000 cash bail, while McCarthy's bail was set at $16,000 cash.
Sarazin, whom Hooksett police located and arrested after the other two were taken into custody, is being held on $5,000 cash bail pending arraignment Wednesday in Circuit Court.


text: UPDATED: Four Manchester taxis cleared to get back on road By MARK HAYWARDNew Hampshire Union Leader April 03. 2013 8:10PM MANCHESTER — City officials cleared four taxis for return to the road on Wednesday, a day after every taxi in the city lost its medallion, which allowed it to operate on city streets. The four were cleared for inspections after the two taxi companies repaired problems that could be quickly addressed — such as a suspension system, a tie rod or a cracked windshield — and had them inspected, said Kevin Kincaid, director of licensing enforcement for the Manchester City Clerk's Office. "Obviously, we want these cars back on the road as much as they do," Kincaid said. But other cars had problems with rust on the undercarriage and would need more time for repairs. Still other cars — those with more than nine years of life or 300,000 miles — won't make it back on the road, he said. Manchester Taxi Dispatch was able to return one car to the road Wednesday, Kincaid said. Bill Fellows, a consultant for the company owner, said he expects two will be ready to return to the road today. He blamed the failures on a long winter. Winter is the busy season in the taxi business, and companies hold off on repairs until the spring, when people are more likely to walk and business slows. He said inspectors were doing their job, but were overzealous. "There is nothing on any one of these cars that is something I would be afraid to put my wife or daughter in," Fellows said. "None of them is dangerous." Some of the problems were as small as cracked lens covers of car lamps, a burned-out turn signal bulb, a tinted rear window and an ABS dash light that is stuck on. Others involved a hanging exhaust clamp, a leaking exhaust manifold and a broken wheel stud, he said. "These are issues we go through at the end of every winter," he said. Fellows said he hopes to get the fleet of eight or nine cars back on the road by next Friday. Queen City Taxi could not be reached for comment. The city issues 18 to 19 medallions to the city's two taxi companies, Kincaid said. Inspectors didn't fail all the cabs on Tuesday. When owners realized what was happening, they surrendered the medallions for some cars voluntarily, rather than have the cars fail inspection, Kincaid said. Meanwhile, customers at the Elm Street Market Basket had a difficult day. "Our customers were very upset about it," said Peter Gulezian, store manager. A friend would drop them off at the store, but after buying several bags of groceries, they were unable to call a taxi for a ride home, he said. They got aggravated waiting for a bus, and Market Basket workers helped some customers load their grocery bags onto the bus, Gulezian said. Dick Dunfey, executive director at Manchester Housing and Redevelopment Authority, said many of the agency's elderly and disabled tenants use taxis, but he had not heard any complaints. Alex Walker, spokesman for Catholic Medical Center, said the lack of taxi service did not seem to have an impact at the hospital Wednesday. Kincaid said state inspectors were not available Wednesday to handle re-inspections. But the clerk's office found a repair shop, Ron's Toy Shop, to help return taxis to the road. Ron's performed inspections — the same that any licensed automobile must go through — in order to get the cabs on the road. By the end of the day, Queen City Taxi had three taxis on the road; Manchester Taxi had one. Kincaid said Queen City brought two cars in that they had held back from inspection on Tuesday, and they passed. A third had a cracked windshield that was easily repaired. Two Queen City cars had more than 300,000 miles and won't return to the road, he said. Manchester Taxi brought in a car that was not inspected because its gas tank was being replaced. Its front-end suspension was repaired, and it was cleared for use, Kincaid said. Just last year, aldermen approved a 60 percent rate hike for fares. Still, a two-mile journey in Manchester costs $7.40, and the average fare in the city is between $4 and $5, Kincaid said. He said a city police officer can order an inspection of a taxi at any point, but the city has not performed mass inspections for awhile, in part because of logistics associated with the move to the new police station. "It's no special, super-difficult testing," Kincaid said. "It's the same thing we all go through." email@example.com Public Safety Manchester Top Section Stories

Boater thought to be missing found safe in ChesterfieldBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
August 19. 2013 11:34PM
CHESTERFIELD — A missing man was found safe in the Connecticut River after about an hour of searching Monday morning.
The Chesterfield Fire Department responded around 11:07 a.m., said Fire Chief Jeffrey Chickering.
The man had been separated from a woman he was rowing in the river with, he said.
The man and woman were rowing in scull boats and had become separated.
"She said she was ahead of him and they were supposed to rendezvous in one place," Chickering said.
The water rescue task force that Chesterfield is a part of had divers in the water ready to search, and Swanzey and Brattleboro, Vt., had sent rescue boats ready to search the water when rescuers found him at the West Chesterfield boat launch.
"It turns out the gentleman was further upstream and was paddling back down. …Basically it was a miscommunication between (the couple). They were supposed to meet in one place," Chickering said. "We deployed for help just in case of the worst case scenario and we were able to send everybody back home."
