Title: B_K (and more!) Using Chiral Perturbation Theory and the Lattice

Abstract:
In recent years numerous calculations have made use of both advancing 
computer power and algorithms in order to obtain precise results using 
lattice QCD. I will primarily discuss a set of calculations using a 
"mixed-action" approach, the final goal of which is a determination of 
B_K, the neutral kaon bag parameter. If there is time, I will also discuss 
other quantities of relevance to hadronic physics that are also able to 
make a strong impact soon in the community.
