Lettuce is alkaline, cool, bitter and sweet. It helps dry dampness in the body, including phlegm and yeast overgrowth. It is also anodyne (pain relieving), anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antispasmodic, diuretic, expectorant, galactagogue (increases mother's milk) and sedative. Lettuce has a slowing effect upon digestion.
Lettuce has been used to treat acid indigestion, anemia, arthritis, catarrh, colitis, constipation, cough, gastritis, gout, insomnia, irritable bowel, obesity, sexual addiction, stress, and ulcers. Lettuce is considered beneficial in helping to prevent stomach and endometrial cancers, cataracts, stroke and heart disease. Topically, lettuce has been used as a poultice for swollen joints and bruises. Lettuce contains chlorophyll, lactucin (a calming alkaloid), beta-carotene, folic acid, vitamins B1, B6, C, E, K, and the minerals, calcium, iron, potassium, and silicon. It can be 92-95% water.
Though three quarters of US salad sales are iceberg lettuce, it is the least nutritious, though survives shipping the best. Darker lettuce, like Bibb, Boson and Romaine (from Rome) are more nutritious than light colored ones. Romaine gets most of its leaves exposed to sunlight, which boosts its nutritional content. Common uses of lettuce include salad, sandwiches, hors d'oeuvres, and to make "wraps" stuffed with fillings.
Look for fresh, crisp greens without signs of decay. It is a highly sprayed plant, so buy organic. Lettuce keeps best in its own sealed container. Storing it with apples, pears and tomatoes emit an ethylene gas will cause lettuce to turn brown more quickly. A salad spinner is a great kitchen addition to dry the leaves before applying dressing. Leaves should be torn, rather than cut, to prevent oxidation and browning.

Florida News
Florida runners plan symbolic finish of Boston Marathon
TALLAHASSEE - Nearly 1,000 people from Florida and Georgia planned to run the final 5.2 miles of the Boston Marathon at a Tallahassee race in a symbolic gesture of support for the runners who were stopped at mile 21 during the deadly bombings. More than a dozen Tallahassee residents ran the Boston Marathon earlier this week and several of them were expected to participate in Sunday's event. Tallahassee has a strong running and triathlete community and is home to an annual marathon that many runners from around the nation attend to qualify for the Boston Marathon, event planner Shannon Colavecchio said. �It's still so fresh in everybody's minds and knowing that our purpose is to finish the race for those who could not, I think resonates with a lot of people, said Colavecchio, a runner and small business owner. Twin explosions ripped through the marathon crowd at the finish line in Boston, killing three people and wounding more than 180. One suspect was listed in serious condition at a hospital Saturday. His brother was killed during a massive manhunt.Colavecchio planned the event in a few short days and thought it might draw 50 runners.

My Highlights from ADAA: The Art Show 2014
Sandy Heller
Prominent in Paris in the 1960s, Daniel Buren is internationally recognized for his contribution to Conceptual Art as a founding member of the BMPT group (comprised of Buren, Olivier Mosset, Michel Parmentier, and Niele Toroni), in which he abandoned the idea of painting as object and dismissed the importance of authorship. Pasting pre-fabricated, alternating white and colored vertical stripes on unconventional supports and space—ranging from doorways to billboards to the courtyard of the Palais Royal in Paris—he challenged conventional notions of where art can be seen and how it can be understood.

MILAN (AP) — Weak sales in Europe and lower profits at U.S. partner Chrysler pushed Italian carmaker Fiat to a loss in the first quarter.
Fiat SpA on Monday said it lost 83 million euros ($108 million) during the first three months of the year, compared with a restated first-quarter profit of 35 million euros in the same period of 2012.
Profits at Chrysler LLC, which Fiat controls, dropped 65 percent in the first quarter. Shipments of its cars and trucks were down in preparation for new vehicle launches, such as the new Jeep Cherokee, which goes into production in the second quarter. Fiat's European branch narrowed its losses to 157 million euros, from 207 million euros a year earlier.
Overall revenues were down 2 percent to 19.75 billion euros, as strong sales in Latin America and Asia and demand for its premium brands helped compensate for declines in North America and Europe. Revenues were down 3 percent to 10 billion euros in North America and 4 percent to 4.4 billion euros in Europe, where the financial crisis has badly hurt consumer spending.
"The rest of the year is going to be challenging," Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne told analysts. "We are fully aware these are unsettled markets."
Fiat said it projects another 5 percent decline in European sales this year, and forecast sales in Italy would drop to 1.3 million, after contracting 20 percent to 1.4 million in 2012.
"We probably have not seen the bottom of this market," Marchionne said, adding that the fact that Italy swore in a new government over the weekend and that Europe was turning away from austerity could help boost consumer confidence.
"I think the combination of all of this will determine a different tone, and the dialogue in Europe is going to be a lot more positive, and I think that is the first step for the recovery of the European market," Marchionne said.
Despite expectations of a weaker European market this year, Fiat confirmed its 2013 forecasts for profits of between 1.2 billion euros and 1.5 billion euros ($1.5 million-$1.9 million) on revenues between 88 billion euros and 92 billion euros.
Fiat passenger car shipments to Europe were down 8 percent to 195,000 in the first quarter, a period that saw the European car market decline 10 percent to 3.1 million units. Fiat sells cars under the Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo brands.
Fiat's luxury and performance brands saw an improvement, mainly thanks to Ferrari. Ferrari's trading profit — or earnings before interest, taxes and one-time items — rose 43 percent to 80 million euros as volumes rose to nearly 1,800 cars. That more than offset a small loss of 4 million euros at Maserati, which has slowed deliveries as it prepares to launch a new Quattroporte sedan. Maserati shipments were down 5 percent to 1,304 vehicles.
Fiat shares were down 1.2 percent to 4.64 euros in a broadly higher market in Milan.
Fiat, based in the northern Italian city of Turin, controls a 58.5 percent stake in Chrysler, which it took control of in 2009. The Italian carmaker's plans to buy out its minority shareholder, the pension health trust for the autoworker's union, has been stalled by a dispute over price. A U.S. judge is set to make a ruling on Fiat's offer for one 3.3 percent stake in June, which could establish a price benchmark to complete the purchase. Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne wants to avoid a public offer to buy the rest of Chrysler, preferring to launch an IPO once a merger with Fiat is complete. A merger could be achieved as early as mid-2014.
The CEO has insisted Fiat has enough cash to complete the Chrysler acquisition. Fiat had 21.3 billion in liquidity at the end of the quarter, 11 billion euros attributable to Fiat and 10.3 billion euros to Chrysler.
Marchionne also hinted that the headquarters of a merged Fiat and Chrysler would be outside of Italy, saying the choice would be based on the strength of the capital markets.
"The only thing that does matter is that we have sufficient mass and sufficient geographic coverage to call ourselves a global carmaker," Marchionne said. "Italy in 2012 represented less than 10 percent of the sales of this group, and that is a stark reality for someone who has been a Fiat aficionado all of his life. This is a different house, and it looks at the world in a completely different way."

The Center for Mission Engagement celebrates our Catholic identity and the mission of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur through the following traditions:
Founders' Week
Each year during Founders' Week, the Emmanuel community reflects upon the founding of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur by St. Julie Billiart and the founding of the College in 1919. Founders' Day is part of a weeklong celebration that includes prayer services, discussions and local community service opportunities for students, faculty and staff.
Mass of the Holy Spirit
To mark the opening of the academic year, Catholic colleges and universities celebrate the Mass of the Holy Spirit.

The Mass of the Holy Spirit is celebrated in conjunction with Emmanuel's Academic Convocation as the official start to the academic calendar. The Mass serves as a means of invoking the Holy Spirit for guidance and wisdom throughout the academic year.
Sister Marie Augusta Neal, SND Lecture Series

Size of Dyn's proposed Millyard sign is sticking point for Manchester officialsBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hamsphire Union Leader
March 18. 2014 10:03PM
MANCHESTER — The Internet performance company Dyn isn't giving up on efforts to put its name on a Millyard rooftop, even though city regulators last week turned down a sign that would have been nearly three times bigger than allowed by city ordinance.
The design is borrowed from the script of the Pandora Sweaters sign that graced the Millyard for decades, said Dyn Chief Operating Officer Gray Chynoweth.
"It was really keeping in spirit with the Millyard. It shows the heritage and a connection to the future," Chynoweth said Tuesday. He said the company is passionate about erecting a sign, and internal discussions are underway.
"We still want a sign. We've got to figure out how to come up with a sign that people believe," he said.
Last Thursday, the Zoning Board of Adjustment turned down a variance that would allow the sign on the roof of Dyn headquarters at 150 Dow St. The Manchester Heritage Commission had previously OK'd plans for the sign.
Designs called for letters of 24 feet in height, which would be 10 feet off the rooftop.
"The size of the sign is the problem," said William Bevelaqua, zoning board chairman. He suggested it be shrunk in half. City regulations say a sign can be 500 square feet in the Millyard; the Dyn sign was calculated at 1,470 square feet.
The rejection is about the first cold shoulder the high-tech company has received in its hometown. It is a major funder of Mayor Ted Gatsas' education initiative STEAM Ahead. Company leaders are intimately involved in projects such as Manchester Young Professionals Start-Up Challenge. And Dyn was ranked the fastest-growing privately held company in New Hampshire last year.
Chynoweth said the sign needs to be big in order to be seen from the highway. He said the lettering was adopted from a hand-lettered script of Pandora Sweaters owner May Gruber, who wrote out the Dyn name shortly before she died last year. The sign also includes the company's circle logo.
Chynoweth said it showcases the tech-heavy Millyard.
"It was a sign of progress, a sign of vibrancy. It was big on the past, big on the future," Chynoweth said.
However, the owner of the 540 Commercial St. building worried that one variance would lead to others, and the Millyard would end up looking like Coney Island.
"This is really not a sign; it's a billboard mounted on the roof of a building," he said. Michael Reed of Stebbins Commercial Properties said the sign would be an eyesore.
The vote against the variance was 4-1.
"No pun intended," said board member Michael E. Dupre, "this almost seems like a Pandora's Box."

The USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service water and climate and other experts are predicting drought conditions in the West and places across the nation, marking a possible two-year drought in many states.
Faced with limited water resources, farmers and ranchers are turning to the NRCS for expert advice and assistance to conserve water.
"Our agency is the agency that takes scientific research and puts it into action for the benefit of landowners, producers and the American public," said NRCS Deputy Chief for Science and Technology, Wayne Honeycutt.
More water can't simply be created, but conservation practices help soil improve water storage and use, which provides the best defense against drought, he added.
Honeycutt is no stranger to farming and soil. After helping his dad on their Kentucky farm, he spent 24 years researching soils for the USDA's Agricultural Research Service. Today, he ensures NRCS has the most up-to-date and scientifically based practices for getting conservation on the ground.
Cover crops, no-tillage, crop residue management and crop rotation are a few conservation practices that can mitigate impacts of drought. By not disturbing the soil, no-till farming keeps soil cooler longer reducing evaporation. It also builds up organic matter increasing the ability to hold water.

"These practices help drought but achieve so much more than that," said Honeycutt. "They help reduce greenhouse gases and help feed a growing population because they are building healthy soil and resilience to extreme weather."
The goal of many conservation programs offered by the NRCS is to improve the landowner's soil health. Healthy soil is more resilient to erosion and better able to store water through extended drought periods – which lead to a more durable operation.
"NRCS is putting science to work when it comes to conservation of our resources — be it soil, plants, animals, water, air, or energy," said Honeycutt.
With the help of financial and technical assistance from NRCS, many producers in the nation were able to weather last year's drought and some even saw an increase in yields. Here's a story about a Texas farmer's success using NRCS-enabled conservation practices: http://blogs.usda.gov/.
NRCS will present new drought information on a regular basis to keep everyone informed about conservation practices to weather the drought. Visit us at www.nrcs.usda.govfor Drought Mondays and explore ways to make your lands more resilient to extreme weather.

Prince Harry returns from Angola charity trip
LONDON (AP) — Britain's Prince Harry has returned from Angola, where he visited a landmine clearance charity championed by his late mother, Princess Diana.
The HALO Trust charity said Saturday the 28-year-old prince visited the Angolan town of Cuito Cuanavale, which saw heavy fighting during the southern African nation's 1975-2002 civil war.
The group said Harry toured minefields and met beneficiaries of the group's work.
Harry was following in the footsteps of Diana, who visited minefields in Angola in 1997 and drew global attention to the charity's efforts to clear them.
Kensington Palace said in a statement that Harry was pleased to see the progress HALO had made and that he was keen to continue supporting its work.
The prince visited minefields with HALO in Mozambique in 2010.
The group said that it began clearing mines in Cuito Cuanavale about three years after the end of Angola's civil war, and that it has so far located and destroyed more than 21,300 mines.
The charity, founded in Afghanistan in 1988, now works in countries including Cambodia, Laos and Zimbabwe.

Sniply is deeply integrated into marketing strategies of companies big and small. There are many unique perks and benefits to using Sniply on an enterprise level that are very different than for small businesses. These advantages truly differentiate our tool from other marketing tools out there.
No Technical Installation
Adopting new technologies within a large organization can be tough. When the marketing team wants a new tool, they often have to setup a meeting with IT and figure out all the backend considerations before executing. With Sniply, there are no bottlenecks.
You can use Sniply without a single line of code. Everything is cloud-based and designed specifically for marketing teams to operate independently from IT. For example, if you wish to inform your audience of a new webinar that's coming up, you can display the invitation on your company website and blog posts without updating the site itself.
Data Driven Decisions
Reporting is a huge component in enterprise marketing. Marketing associates need to report results to marketing managers, managers need to report to directors, directors to presidents and so forth.
What is the return on investment in social media? What is the value of your newsletters? What portion of sales are driven through content creation and content curation? All of these questions can be answered by Sniply's analytics. Everything we do is based on solid ROI metrics and tangible conversion data.
Exponential Returns
Sniply is exponentially valuable for larger brands. This is because the ROI is tied to the size of your network. Big brands tend to have more followers, and more followers lead to more clicks, and more clicks result in more conversions.
Even a low conversion rate at scale can lead to a large amount of conversions. Note that 1% conversion rate from 100 clicks is 1 conversion, but 1% conversion from 1,000,000 clicks is 10,000 conversions. The wider your reach, the more valuable Sniply becomes, which is how Sniply generates exponential returns for enterprise.

Pa. Lawsuit Could Make DOMA Applicable to Private Companies
A Pennsylvania lawsuit could substantially increase the reach of the Defense of Marriage Act, potentially prohibiting private companies from recognizing same-sex spouses.
The case, which went before a judge in Philadelphia on Monday, seeks to determine whether the death benefits accrued by the late Sarah Ellyn Farley should be paid to her parents or her wife from a legal Canadian same-sex marriage, Jennifer Tobits.
Farley's employer, the Cozen O'Connor law firm, was unable to determine which party had the appropriate claim to Farley's benefits, so the case was put before a judge.
In their response to the suit, however, Cozen O'Connor purports that it is not able to grant Tobits spousal benefits because of DOMA, which could change how same-sex spouses receive insurance benefits.
The act, passed in 1996 by large majorities of both houses of Congress, sought to ensure that marriages remain defined as between a man and a woman after the Hawaii Supreme Court's ruling in Baehr v. Miike caused many to fear that states would be compelled to accept same-sex marriages under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution.
Section 3 of DOMA states that same-sex marriages will not be recognized for federal purposes, including insurance benefits for government employees.
While DOMA has not been used in the past to prevent private companies from recognizing same-sex marriages, Farley's parents claim that since the act and a similar Pennsylvania state statute both define marriage in traditional terms as between a man and a woman, Tobits' claim to the benefits is invalid.
"DOMA does not require private employers to discriminate when they set the terms of their own benefits," said National Center for Lesbian Rights Legal Director Shannon Minter. "Federal law requires employers to give certain protections to different-sex spouses, but it doesn't prohibit employers from offering those protections to same-sex spouses as well."
The issue is further complicated by Tobits' Illinois residency. Under Illinois law, same-sex unions are recognized with the same rights as marriage, but Pennsylvania has no such statute.
"Just because Illinois has recognized this relationship in one form or another, whether they call it a civil union or a marriage, doesn't mean Pennsylvania has to recognize it as such," Pennsylvanian lawyer Helen Casale told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
If the court decides in favor of Farley's parents, it will then have to make a secondary consideration as to whether or not DOMA's definition of marriage is constitutional, a debate that has already entered the courts through other high-profile cases.
Although the Justice Department under President Barack Obama initially defended DOMA as part of its policy to defend all federal laws, Attorney General Eric Holder released a memo in February of 2011 saying that the department would no longer defend DOMA.
Although the Justice Department is not directly involved in the Cozen O'Connor case, it did release a brief in January of 2012 asking the court to find Section 3 of DOMA unconstitutional.
According to the brief, "Section 3 treats same-sex couples who are legally married under their states' laws differently than similarly situated opposite-sex couples, denying them the status, recognition and significant federal benefits otherwise available to married persons."

Death at Danville police chief's home continues to haunt parentsBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
September 15. 2013 9:45PM
PLAISTOW — The parents of 15-year-old Jacob Carver are desperate for answers.
Geoffrey and Debbie Carver have spent the last six months trying to understand their son's death, which authorities say was a suicide. They never saw any signs in the days before he suffered a fatal gunshot wound while alone inside the home of Danville Police Chief Wade Parsons.
Debbie Carver lives at the home and is in a relationship with Parsons.
Jacob's father said he's convinced his son's death was just an accident.
"He was just like the all-American boy. It's just so hard to understand," his mother said. "If it could happen to him, it could happen to anybody ... none of it makes sense."
The Danville parents — who are no longer together — are also trying to heal as they search for answers. They took a big step forward Saturday night, when they returned to the football field at Timberlane Regional High School for the first time since Jacob's death.
The Timberlane Tornadoes football team remembered Jacob and his passion for football at a ceremony before a game against Tewksbury, Mass., a game they won 48-28.
Players wore Jacob's number, No. 79, on the back of their helmets along with the initials "DN" in honor of former longtime coach David Nye, who died in February after battling cancer.
Nye, a Plaistow resident, founded the Timberlane Flag Football League and coached several sports teams, including the Timberlane Tornadoes football team.
"We wanted to honor Jacob for playing and my brother-in-law (David Nye) for all the work he did for us. We always look after each other and in times like this, you want to let people know we're here," varsity head coach Jerry Lovett said.
Jacob, who lived in Danville, had played football since the third grade."He loved football. It was his favorite sport and he lived for it," Debbie said.
The night before the shooting, Jacob was at his father's house talking about how much he was looking forward to a wrestling banquet that week. Jacob and his father were also working out together as the teen prepared for lacrosse and football.
"He was looking forward to lacrosse season. He was looking forward to going to football camp," he said.
Jacob was also talking about college.
"He was looking into the future," Geoffrey Carver said.
But everything changed on the night of March 11, when the teen suffered a gunshot wound while left alone at the home of Parsons.
Wade Parsons now faces a charge of negligent storage of a firearm after authorities say he left his Glock 22 .40-caliber handgun unsecured on top of a safe inside his Danville home. At some point, authorities say Jacob got his hands on the gun.
Despite what he was told by authorities, Geoffrey Carver said he doesn't believe his son killed himself.
"I'm quite sure it was just an accident that happened. Unfortunately, a gun was left out and he was playing around with it," he said.
While Debbie Carver still doesn't know what led to the shooting, she hopes others will learn from her son's death and express their feelings.
"For teenagers, if they ever feel they have something they can't tell their parents, or they're feeling down and there's no hope, they should talk to their coach, or a teacher, or a counselor. Talk to another adult," she said.
As for Saturday's ceremony, Debbie Carver said it meant a lot.
"I'm sure he's looking down and smiling right now," she said of her late son.
His infectious smile is something his teammates will never forget.
"We never saw the kid not smiling. He always tried hard at practice. He was just a hard worker," said Tornadoes player Ian Gobbi, 14, of Atkinson.

In SQL Server 2005 and earlier, you can use several tools to change a server's configuration options. For example, you can use GUIs such as SQL Server 2005's SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or SQL Server 2000's Enterprise Manager. However, GUIs are interactive, so you can't use them to programmatically change a server's configuration options.
Another tool you can use is the sp_configure system stored procedure. When you use sp_configure with its show advanced options parameter set to 1, you can change more than 60 configuration options in SQL Server 2005 and more than 30 configuration options in earlier versions of SQL Server. However, you can change only one configuration option each time you execute sp_configure. Plus, after each sp_configure execution, you have to run the RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE statement to make the change take effect.
Because I wanted to programmatically change configuration options without having to execute sp_configure numerous times, I developed an alternative method. This approach involves creating a configuration (.config) file that lists all the configuration options to be changed and using the sp_ConfigureFromFile stored procedure to apply those changes.
The .config file is a text file that acts similar to an INI file. In the .config file, you need to put each configuration option on a separate line, following the format
where OptionName is the name of the configuration option and OptionValue is the value you want to assign to the configuration option. You must specify the configuration option name that you'd use if you were to manually execute sp_configure with the show advanced options parameter. You can find a list of the names in the SQL Server 2005 Books Online (BOL) documentation "Setting Server Configuration Options" at msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ ms189631(SQL.90).aspx. After you've created the .config file, save it in a directory on the SQL Server machine on which you want to change the configuration options.
Next, you use sp_ConfigureFromFile to apply the settings in the .config file. Suppose you created a .config file named SQLopts.config, which Figure 1 shows, and saved it in D:\DATA. To apply the file's settings on your local server, you need to use a sysAdmin server role login to log on to the server and execute sp_ConfigureFromFile with the code
USE master GOEXEC sp_ConfigureFromFile @configFileName = 'D:\DATA\SQLopts.config'
After running the stored procedure, make sure that all the listed configuration options have been changed accordingly.
The sp_ConfigureFromFile stored procedure uses dynamic T-SQL. After the usual declarations, it enables the sp_Configure system stored procedure's show advanced options parameter and creates a temporary table. Next, it uses the BULK INSERT statement to load the .config file's configuration options to the table and adds an IDENTITY column. The stored procedure then loops through all the configuration options in the table, as Listing 1 shows. For each option, it first executes sp_Configure to apply the new setting, then executes the RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE statement to make the change take effect.
You can download sp_ConfigureFromFile by clicking the 100516.zip hotlink at the top of this page. With sp_ConfigureFromFile, you can easily and quickly change configuration options. This stored procedure can be of great help to any SQL Server DBA who needs to change many configuration options at once with as little effort as possible.

NEW YORK — With so many former NFL players yelling working as color commentators and studio analysts, it seems like there's a position for every recently retired pro in the booth or studio. From Troy Aikman and Cris Collinsworth in the booth to Trent Dilfer and Ray Lewis in studio to Steve Tasker and Tony Siragusa on the sidelines, working as a broadcaster for a national or local network keeps many athletes connected to and invested in the sport they love. But not every player has the personality or the desire to talk about the game once they've left the playing field.
We talked to several NFL players and (and one head coach) at the 3rd Annual NFL Honors awards show at Radio City Music Hall on the eve of Super Bowl XLVIII to get their thoughts on which teammates will end up in the broadcast booth after hanging up their cleats. Some of their answers may surprise you.
Alfred Morris, Washington Redskins RB; 2013 Pro Bowl
"London Fletcher. I'm pretty sure he is going to pursue one. I think Fletcher would be great. It goes back to [John] Madden how Fletcher has such a knowledge of the game, he played so long. Sometimes you see broadcasters — this guy didn't play football in his life so how is he going to know — but Fletcher knows what he's talking about, so we're going to listen to him. I think he'll do great at it."
Charles Tillman, Chicago Bears CB; 2013 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year
"Me? Absolutely not. I just don't think I'm a great speaker on camera. I sound slow and I don't think I'd do a good job. I have too many jokes, I like to joke too much. I would get off track. My ADD would kick in."
"I would have to say most of our guys don't even like talking to the media. I'm trying to think about it. When someone is asked to go the podium, everyone's like 'Not me! Not me!' and trying to put someone else up there. I don't know."
Luke Kuechly, Carolina Panthers LB, 2013 AP Defensive Player of the Year
"I'm not sure. I've thought about it, it's been on my mind. I love football, it's fun being around it. These guys have a great job being around football on Sundays and talking about the game. See me in a couple of years, maybe I'll swing that way. We'll see."
Thomas Davis, Carolina Panthers LB; Finalist, 2013 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year
"Probably Captain Munnerlyn. He's one of those guys that's always talking to the media, he's heavily involved right now. So I would definitely say Captain."
John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens head coach, 2013 Salute to Service Award
"Chris Canty. He already does a lot of stuff for the NFL Network and he's really good. I think he'll be great at it."
LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia Eagles RB; FedEx Ground Player of the Year
"I would say DeMeco Ryans or Nick Foles. They love the game and they're very intelligent. That's what you really need. Love the game and be intelligent and talk with passion."
Jay Feely, Arizona Cardinals K; Finalist, NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year
"It's something I've thought about it for a while and began to go out and try to establish myself and prove myself. Obviously as a kicker you don't have as much clout as a quarterback, so you really have to do a good job. A guy like Larry Fitzgerald, I think Larry could definitely do it. He's comfortable in front of the camera, obviously a superstar in this league. I know Calais Campbell has a desire to do that and he's been out there practicing and getting ready.
"And really that's what it is. It's just like football. It's something that you have to get repetitions and you have to have thick skin and say, 'Hey what am I doing wrong? How can I get better and not have pride about it?' That's the approach I always take."
Brandon Marshall, Chicago Bears; five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver
"Including myself? What I will do is take out Jay Cutler. He's definitely not going to be on set. He may do a radio show. But most likely I would have to say me but I hate talking about myself."

Runners race to find the cure to breast cancer
Runners race to find the cure to breast cancer
Thousands of Tri-state residents participated in the Komen Race for the Cure.
The 16th annual event took place Saturday in downtown Cincinnati.
Organizers said nearly 20,000 cancer survivors and their supporters gathered at Great American Ballpark for the race.
Those who didn't run found other ways to support the cause.
"We're a bunch of bikers getting together to come down to support a cause and cheer on the runners. They're the real heroes, all running for a reason, we're just here to cheer them on," supporter Todd Slicker said.
The race is designed to educate the public about breast cancer and raise money for research to help find a cure.

The good news about an animated film of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns is that there is an animated feature of the ground breaking graphic novel forthcoming. The bad news is that it's being split up into two parts. But even more good news is that the second part of the film will be the one that heavily features the Joker and we've got the first look at the character for you from TV Guide, who have also revealed that "LOST" veteran Michael Emerson will be playing the character in the second part.
"He's one of those great villains that an actor like me likes to play because he has layers — he has a face for the world and a face for himself," Emerson said. "He is, in a way, a villain who is a natural actor. All of that is that is delightful and confounding at the same time. It's freeing because of the largeness of it. When he laughs, there's nothing subdued about it. When he screams in rage, there's nothing controlled about it. The amp is turned to 11 at all times."
In the film, the Joker has been declared legally sane by Dr. Wolper and is released from his cell at Arkham Asylum, only to return to his old ways due to the return of the Batman.
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 will be released on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital platforms on September 25th with the second part expected to land in February of 2013. The first part is described as follows:
"It's been a decade since Bruce Wayne hung up his cape, following most of the other superheroes who had been forced into retirement. Facing the downside of middle age, a restless Bruce Wayne pacifies his frustration with race cars and liquor – but the bat still beckons as he watches his city fall prey to gangs of barbaric criminals known as The Mutants."
Peter Weller provided the voice of Batman/Bruce Wayne and is joined by David Selby as Commissioner Gordon, Ariel Winter as Robin, Wade Williams as Two-Face and Michael McKean as Dr. Bartholomew Wolper. The film is directed by Jay Oliva, written by Bob Goodman and executive produced by Sam Register and Bruce Timm. You can check out the previously-released trailer below.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Federal authorities warned against the infection risks of using insulin pens on more than one patient, and officials on Monday asked why a Buffalo veterans hospital may have used the pens on many patients, causing an HIV scare.
More than 700 patients admitted to the Veterans Affairs Western New York Healthcare System over a two-year period may have been exposed to HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C, officials said following a review that found that multi-dose pens intended for use by a single patient may have been used on more than one person.
Although the needles were changed, the stored insulin could have been contaminated by a back flow of blood with each use, experts said.
On Monday, members of the region's congressional delegation sought an investigation.
"Is this situation isolated to the VA Medical Center in Buffalo or is it reflective of a systemic problem in patient labeling that has endangered veterans throughout the VA healthcare system?" Rep. Brian Higgins, D-N.Y., asked in a letter to Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.
The hospital, in a statement to The Associated Press, said only inpatients in Buffalo were affected.
Federal health agencies have been warning against sharing insulin pens for several years. The Food and Drug Administration issued an alert in March 2009 after learning that more than 2,000 patients may have been exposed at a Texas hospital between 2007 and 2009.
A clinical alert from the Centers for Disease Control last year came amid continued reports of the practice.
"This just shouldn't happen, but it does," Dr. Melissa Schaefer of the CDC said Monday, "and I think the incidents we hear about are likely underreported.
"Reuse of insulin pens for more than one patient essentially is akin to syringe reuse," she said. "You can get back flow of blood into that syringe or cartridge that contains the insulin and then you potentially expose others patients. And changing the needle wouldn't make it safe for multi-patient use."
Ignorance of the danger may be a factor, experts said, with hospital employees mistakenly viewing the pens like multi-dose drug vials that are meant to safely supply more than one patient if each dose is drawn with a new needle.
"As we get new technology, it's just re-educating personnel," Schaefer said.
The Buffalo hospital said it began using insulin pens in October 2010. An inspection in November 2012 led to the discovery of pens in medication carts without patient labels and the likelihood they may have been used on more than one patient.
"There is a very small chance that some patients could have been exposed to the hepatitis B virus, the hepatitis C virus or HIV, based on practices identified at the facility," a Friday memo from the VA to the region's congressional representatives said.
Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., spoke with the undersecretary for health at the Department of Veterans Affairs, spokesman Grant Loomis said, and was told veterans would be contacted beginning Monday.
The VA said it was establishing a nurse-staffed call center to notify and respond to veterans' questions and arrange blood tests and any necessary follow-up care. Employees would also receive educational material on the appropriate use of insulin pens, the agency said.
"Once this was identified, immediate action was taken to ensure the insulin pens were labeled and only used according to pharmaceutical guidelines," the hospital's statement said.
The VA's National Center for Patient Safety, meanwhile, has been asked to prepare a safety alert for all VA facilities, spokesman Josh Taylor said. The notices are designed to reinforce best practices for patient care.
In 2009, Fort Polk's Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital contacted and tested 15 patients who might have been injected with insulin from a pen first used on another patient. Hospital records don't indicate that any became ill because of those injections, spokeswoman Kathy Ports said Monday.
Associated Press writers Janet McConnaughey in New Orleans and Kevin Freking in Washington contributed to this report.

Karate training polishes the spirit.
These five words are packed with meaning and can easily be misunderstood.
Let's start with the "spirit." For those of us in the West, we probably think of the Christian concept of a "spirit." Even among different Christian groups, the definition of "spirit" can vary greatly. But Karate was developed in the East. The concept of spirit there is not Christian.
In Japanese, the word for spirit is "kokoro." But "kokoro" has a broader meaning: spirit, heart, mind, character. In the West, we tend to separate these concepts. But the idea of kokoro encompasses the totality of one's being (in my opinion).
Next, the word "polishes" says a lot. If you think of your kokoro (or spirit) as a mirror, polishing the mirror -- cleaning off the dust and distortions - will enable it to clearly and accurately reflect the world. In the East, spiritual practices are designed to reveal the true "you", which is only imperfect because of distortions or negative things. So the spirit is polished.
Finally, the term "training" also has a special meaning. In Japanese, the appropriate word is "shugyo," which has an ascestic connotation. An ascetic renounces material comforts and leads a life of austere self-discipline. This sounds a lot like Zen which makes sense since Rinzai Zen was the path of choice of the samurai. Modern Japanese budo was based on this martial/spiritual training.
Karate training can indeed be austere and extremely rigorous. Many people feel that they are focused and purified by such training.
So let's rephrase the saying:
"The rigorous, austere training of Karate reveals the totality of one's being (heart, mind, spirit, and character)."
Is that true? I guess it depends on your own reasons for training.
I have also heard two connected things:
"Physical training in Karate develops the mind;" and
"The spirit is created when the body and mind work together."
If this is true, physical training in Karate develops the mind, and the coordination of the two creates the spirit.
Again, I cannot say whether this is true. I don't like to split aspects of the self in this way. I perfer to think of the person as a whole. And it all depends on how you view the inner and outer worlds.
I can say that dedicated Karate training strengthens the body, sharpens the mind, and helps to develop amazing self-discipline and will. It helps to build a strong person.
I think that the goal of Okinawan Karate was not exactly to "polish the spirit," which is most likely a Japanese approach. In Okinawa, I believe that Karate was to train the body and mind (with an orientation toward self-defense), with the ultimate goal of developing a cultured gentlemen. Please see: Okinawa's Bushi: Karate Gentlemen.
The point of all this is that you have to decide why you are training -- why are you practicing Karate? Are you working toward a goal? Is your training in line with that goal? If you are going to train for a year or two, your goal might be simple -- enhanced self-defense. But if you are going to train for your entire life, then your goal is extremely important.
Karate training helps you to find yourself.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A utility has agreed to pay a $500,000 fine and speed replacement of its cast-iron pipelines following an eastern Pennsylvania gas explosion that killed five people two years ago.
UGI Utilities Inc. president Robert Beard agreed to the state Public Utility Commission's order Monday in a letter that expressed "heartfelt sympathies" to the victims.
Easton's The Express-Times newspaper (http://bit.ly/VJaAtX) says the order requires the Reading (RED'-ing)-based company to replace all cast-iron pipelines within 14 years and expand testing and monitoring.
The February 2011 blast in Allentown flattened a pair of row houses and set a block of homes afire. It was traced to a crack in a cast-iron main.
Beard says the company is committed to addressing the "many significant operational challenges" facing it and others.
