Wichita police say rain and speed contributed to an accident that left four emergency responders and a driver with minor injuries.
Police say two firefighters and two paramedics were helping a driver up a hill after a car had gone into a ditch in front of Newman University late Monday.
Police Lt. Mike Hennessey says the driver of a second car lost control at the same spot. The car spun around, hit a concrete wall and then hit the emergency crews and the first driver, knocking them all back down the hill.
All five were taken to the hospital, but the injuries were mostly cuts and bruises.
Hennessey says rain, poor visibility and speed were factors in the accidents.

Last Updated: 2001-02-20 14:00:37 EST (Reuters Health) - For patients with prostate cancer, real-time computerized treatment planning for brachytherapy can reduce urethra and rectum morbidity by 80%, with a 65% to 95% improvement in tumor control probability, according to preliminary findings presented here at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The computerized system generates a treatment plan in 5 to 15 minutes. This allows treatment planning to occur immediately before the procedure, using accurate imaging data on the morphology of the patient's prostate, instead of data that may be several weeks old owing to scheduling constraints, noted Dr. Eva K. Lee of the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.
Imaging studies have shown that the computerized treatment planning system causes many more seeds to be placed in the prostate instead of in surrounding tissue, Dr. Lee said. The planning also enables the radiation oncologist to avoid placing seeds in the urethra and rectum, errors that can cause "hot spots" that may lead to incontinence.
Dr. Lee based her presentation on the results in 10 patients. Clinical trials of her system are ongoing at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
The computerized treatment planning system is based on mixed integer linear programming, a collection of computational optimization techniques designed to find the best solution to a complex problem given a series of constraints, some of which may be conflicting or mutually exclusive. Such strategies have already been applied to many non-medical problems, such as scheduling crew members for airline flights, Dr. Lee said.

Fight Club: A Novel eBook: Chuck Palahniuk: Kindle Store for $0.25
Amazon is matching the Google Play deals.
28 Comments add a comment
I have only watched the movie I wonder how much greater is the book?
It seems like this book is breaking both the first and second rules.
Rules of what? I have no idea what you're talking about.
Thanks OP! Just got it...love the movie figure maybe one day for a shiny quarter I might feel like reading the book.
For those of us that have read the book, the very idea of a digital copy flies in the face of the moral of the story. +1 for irony
But, if you haven't read it, I highly recommend it.
@zollars23: read what?
@fusion44: one of my top 3 books. i've watched the movie after, and there is no way the movie does it justice.
This is a fantastic read. Hilarious and thought-provoking. Easily the best quarter you'll ever spend ;)
@fusion44: Chuck himself has said that the movie was better, though the book is still quite good.
This is my favorite book. The movie is actually a very good adaptation, but has a different ending, and there's minor differences throughout. It's a very quick read, written in a tight, minimalist style.
@fusion44: The book is good, but the movie is far better.
Check other things Chuck Palahniuk has written. That dude is awesome, I would not be surprised if he was a wooter!
Fun Fact: EVERY scene of the movie has a hidden Starbucks cup.
Check out Chuck Palahniuk's book Damned its all in the first person voice of a 13 year old fat girl who is in hell. It is like all his work funny,spot on, and about some truths in life we do not like to believe.
You are several minutes closer to death right now. No you won't die, with all the exercise,organic food,high colonic, and vitamins you take it could never happen to you.
You are not your deals.woot
Palanhiuk is a sick genius definitely read all of his books... (well maybe skip pygmy)
who the crap put negatives? unpossible
I've heard a lot of people drone on about Palahniuk, but for a quarter, screw it, I'll give him a whirl.
Solid. I'm definitely taking advantage of this deal.
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise that this is $0.25
Thanks a bunch! Can tell imma love it from the first few pages.
I have the hard copy of this book, it is waayyyy better than the movie. The movie don't get me wrong had a tremendous impact on me growing up. but the book is fantastic.
Loved the movie, bet the book is great too. Can't beat it for a qtr!
Sweet deal. Grabbed it. Thanks!
And so all my posts get deleted as if I did something wrong. Unbelievable. Look up what Fight Club is about, folks.
@svengoolie: It's because you're a troll kiddo.
@svengoolie: Maybe you shouldn't use slurs when referring to LGBT people. This isn't the 1950s anymore.
Deals not working form me Showing up as 8.51. =( I woulda jumped on it for a quarter.
@nageltr: Oh God. Get that lbgt nonsense out of here.

Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Light a fire well over to one side of your grill, using enough coals to fill half a shoebox.
- Combine the olive oil, coriander, curry powder, paprika, and brown sugar in a small bowl and mix well. Rub this mixture all over the ribs.
- When the flames have died down and the coals are covered in white ash, place the ribs on the side of the grill away from the coals, being careful that none of the meat is directly over the coals. Put the lid on the grill with the vents one-quarter of the way open. Cook the ribs for 30-45 minutes, adding a handful of fresh charcoal after 30 minutes. Turn the ribs over and cook them for 10-20 minutes more. To check for doneness, cut into one of the ribs to be sure that there is no pink down near the bone.
- While the ribs are cooking, make the sauce: Combine the chiles, orange juice, mustard, cilantro, and brown sugar in a food processor or blender and purée.
- When the ribs are done, brush them with the sauce and cook for about 30 seconds more on each side. Remove the ribs from the grill, cut them apart, and serve, passing any remaining sauce on the side.

Is this what the big announcement was about?
This is pretty cool, getting better specs (and hopefully performance) at a lower price. I seriously can't find anything to complain about right now..
There's actually 3 IIRC other models with HD screens. One is like an 8 inch rather than 7.
Pre-order...Sept. 14th.
Not really a deal because this is the standard price but it's still pretty neat.
There are three models:
This one the standard: better processor, more ram and I believe a camera
7 inch hd: slightly better processor than the standard, same about of ram, 16gb storage, better display, better wifi, newer version of android
8.9 inch hd: same as the 7 inch hd but even better processor and bigger of course.
Oh, the hd's also have 10 point touch displays instead of 2 point. (can register 10 fingers at once instead of just two). I think that's everything, but I probably missed a few points.
The hd's also have micro hdmi ports now.
I'm still curious about buttons.
No storage slot as far as i can tell. Not surprising.
The Kindle Fire is great and this is even better--improved tech specs and a lower price.
I'm still rather meh about it. For about 20 bucks less your can get an acer iconia 100 refurb that has similar display, 5 point touchscreen vs 2 , google play vs none, dual cameras vs none, an hdmi output vs none, a micro sd slot vs none andfull ICS vs a proprietary OS. A lot to give up for a better warranty and a slightly better processor.
How the hell did the Kindle Fire reach "7" - hasn't there only been 1 other one?
@ryanwb: 7 inches...to distinguish from the larger one
Still no camera? NO, THANK YOU!
Ads on the lock screen and no way to disable it? No thanks. Another reason the Nexus 7 is vastly superior.
The ladies call me justabandnerd7
@stivivi: I would agree. The solution is to pick up the next model up. The Fire HD at $199 gets a bump or two in a few areas - including having an HD camera for Skype calls.
Use it to listen to music and play games and chat online should be very good, looking forward to ... September 14! Come on ~
@coldwarrelic: Was just going to mention this... not the deal everyone thought at launch.
usually these things come with some kind of premium model that has ads disabled. is this the case for this one? i have a regular kindle fire and it has no ads. came with a lot of bundled crap, but i deleted that pretty quickly. fantastic thing. wish it had ports or something.
Eh, I'd still go with the Nexus 7. I dislike Amazon's OS modifications.
I'm gonna wait for the 20 point touch display -- so I can work with both my hands AND feet!
I'd have to agree with the above comments. The Nexus 7 is the clear winner at this price range.
This is a price reduction from $199. They have a new model coming out that will occupy the $199 spot. I have one and don't see the ads that so many seem to be talking about. This is a good deal if you want to stay under $200. If you don't, the Nexus wins out. Kindle has no camera which means you can't scan bar codes etc. which is the only real drawback I've found.
@idontkn1: My Acer Iconia 100 had terrible battery life though, even on standby. It's no wonder that you can find the Acer tabs on sale everywhere (for the same price as the lower-spec'd Dell Streak), but the Asus & Samsung tablets still fetch a premium price.
With that said, I do currently own the Samsung Tab 7.0 Plus & Kindle Fire. I use the Fire exclusively to watch free Amazon Prime videos. I just saw the announcement for the Kindle Fire HD, but wasn't aware of this new non-HD Fire. This sucks, now I feel compelled to get this newer model.
They are selling the HD Version for only $50 more as well!
On a side note, I bought one of the Refurbished Kindle Fires last month when they were on sell for $159. Now i just feel cheated...

Grilled Oysters on the Half-Shell with Pancetta and Barbecue Sauce
Categories: Entertaining, Fourth of July, On the Grill
Type: Appetizers and Snacks
Type: Appetizers and Snacks
Oysters paired with a simple barbecue sauce and topped with pancetta taste elegant but are a cinch to make.
Serves: Serves 4 as an appetizer
- 8oz (225g) pancetta, diced small
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
- 6 dashes Tabasco sauce
- 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 24 oysters of your choice, shells scrubbed
Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Build a fire in your grill. When the coals are all ignited, the fire has died down, and the temperature is medium (see Gauging the temperature), you're ready to cook.
- While you wait for the fire, cook the pancetta on the stove top in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until it is crisp and brown (about 7 minutes). Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in the ketchup, lemon juice, half of the parsley (reserve the rest for garnishing), Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
- Shuck the oysters and loosen them in their bottom shells. Arrange the oysters (in their bottom shells) on the grill over the coals, and cook just until their edges start to ruffle (2-3 minutes). Spoon about 1 tablespoon sauce over each oyster, and continue to cook until the sauce is bubbling hot. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with parsley and pancetta, and serve, but be careful-the oyster shells will be very hot.

The President's son and daughter are abducted, and Detective Alex Cross is one of the first on the scene. But someone very high-up is using the FBI, Secret Service, and CIA to keep him off the case and in the dark.
A deadly contagion in the water supply cripples half of the capital, and Alex discovers that someone may be about to unleash the most devastating attack the United States has ever experienced.
As his window for solving both crimes narrows, Alex makes a desperate decision that goes against everything he believes—one that may alter the fate of the entire country. KILL ALEX CROSS is faster, more exciting, and more tightly wound than any Alex Cross thriller James Patterson has ever written!
Book One | UNACCOUNTED FOR
Chapter 1
IT BEGAN WITH PRESIDENT COYLE'S CHILDREN, ETHAN AND ZOE, BOTH high-profile personalities since they had arrived in Washington, and probably even before that.
Twelve-year-old Ethan Coyle thought he had gotten used to living under the microscope and in the public eye. So Ethan hardly noticed anymore the news cameramen perpetually camped outside the Branaff School gates, and he didn't worry the way he used to if some kid he didn't know tried to snap his picture in the hall, or the gymnasium, or even the boys' bathroom.
Sometimes, Ethan even pretended he was invisible. It was kind of babyish, kind of b.s., but who cared. It helped. One of the more personable Secret Service guys had actually suggested it. He told Ethan that Chelsea Clinton used to do the same thing. Who knew if that was true?
But when Ethan saw Ryan Townsend headed his way that morning, he only wished he could disappear.
Ryan Townsend always had it in for him, and that wasn't just Ethan's paranoia talking. He had the purplish and yellowing bruises to prove it—the kind that a good hard punch or muscle squeeze can leave behind.
"Wuzzup, Coyle the Boil?" Townsend said, charging up on him in the hall with that look on his face. "The Boil havin' a bad day already?"
Ethan knew better than to answer his tormenter and torturer. He cut a hard left toward the lockers instead—but that was his first mistake. Now there was nowhere to go, and he felt a sharp, nauseating jab to the side of his leg. He'd been kicked! Townsend barely even slowed down as he passed. He called these little incidents "drive-bys."
The thing Ethan didn't do was yell out, or stumble in pain. That was the deal he'd made with himself: don't let anyone see what you're feeling inside.
Instead, he dropped his books and knelt down to pick them back up again. It was a total wuss move, but at least he could take the weight off his leg for a second without letting the whole world know he was Ryan Townsend's punching and kicking dummy.
Except this time, someone else did see—and it wasn't the Secret Service.
Ethan was stuffing graph paper back into his math folder when he heard a familiar voice.
"Hey, Ryan? Wuzzup with you?"
He looked up just in time to see his fourteen-year-old sister, Zoe, stepping right into Townsend's path.
"I saw that," she said. "You thought I wouldn't?"
Townsend cocked his head of blond curls to the side. "I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Why don't you just mind your own—"
Out of nowhere, a heavy yellow textbook came up fast in both of Zoe's hands.
She swung hard, and clocked Townsend with it, right across the middle of his face. The bully's nose spurted red and he stumbled backward. It was great!
That was as far as things progressed before Secret Service got to them. Agent Findlay held Zoe back, and Agent Musgrove wedged himself between Ethan and Townsend. A crowd of sixth, seventh, and eighth graders had already stopped to watch, like this was some new reality TV show—The President's Kids.
"You total losers!" Townsend shouted at Ethan and Zoe, even as blood dripped down over his Branaff tie and white button-down shirt. "What a couple of chumps. You need your loyal SS bodyguards to protect you!"
"Oh yeah? Tell that to my algebra book," Zoe yelled back. "And stay away from my brother! You're bigger and older than him, you jerk. You shithead!"
For his part, Ethan was still hovering by the lockers, half of his stuff scattered on the floor. And for a second or two there, he found himself pretending he was part of the crowd—just some kid nobody had ever heard of, standing there, watching all of this craziness happen to someone else.
Yeah, Ethan thought. Maybe in my next lifetime.

Jungheinrich shows man-up turret truck
January 22, 2013 - MMH Editorial
Jungheinrich (Booth 2041) is offering visitors an opportunity to operate its EKX man-up turret truck equipped with Warehouse Navigation. The new system is capable of improving productivity by 25%.
Once the operator applies the accelerator, the lift truck automatically determines the perfect speeds for lateral movement and turret extension, advancing to the next pick location along the most efficient route. For pallet retrieval, the forks will come to rest precisely in front of the pallet. For case picking, lights on the lift truck will indicate the right pick face.
Capable of navigating 72-inch-wide aisles by wire or side guide rollers, the lift also reads RFID tags embedded in the floor to decelerate or stop at the end of an aisle, or to prevent collisions with elevated obstructions. The system is compatible with a WMS, or can accept user inputs in paper-based warehouses.
ProMat 2013 is scheduled to be held January 21-24, 2013 in Chicago's McCormick Place South. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern's complete ProMat 2013 coverage.

Mr. Dodd's default position
In his 36 years in Congress, corrupt Democrat Chris Dodd reveled in pawning himself off as an expert on everything, especially the housing and financial-services industries, foreign policy and campaign-finance laws.
History tells a different story. Mr. Dodd's vanity presidential run in 2007-08 kept him away from his duties as Senate Banking Committee chairman while the economy was imploding; the collapse was rooted in his manipulation of federal housing policies and his blocking of lending reforms that might have forestalled the Great Recession. On foreign affairs, he is known in some circles as "Sen. Wrong" for his reflexive support of communist tyrants abroad, despite their manifest threat to national security and their people's well-being.

What this newspaper inadvertantly inserted ( they never did this before) is that Dodd became chairman of the Senate Banking Committee in 2007. (He took over from a Republican.) By then the damage was already done.
For a paper that always affirms "personal responcibility" especially for the poor it cerainly doesn't accept it for Republicans.
Its the China Shop Rule: "You break it - you own it"
The Bush Adminstration started the Iraq War - They own it.
The Bush Adminstration crashed the stock market - they own it
The Bush Adminstration crashed the housing market - they own it.
The Bush Adminstration caused massive job loses they own it
And on and on.
And the Obama adminstration is the Janitor. They're cleaning up the mess. Everything bush caused (above) has improved greatly in the last four years.
Hooray for the Democrats. "

Blaming "George W. Bush for everything that was ever wrong with this country" are your words - not mine.
I was very specific in saying The Iraqi War, Stock market, job loses and housing all occurred due to the Bush Adminstration. Take a snap shot of Bush's last four months and Obama's first two in each of those areas and you'll see what I mean.
And I'll say each of those areas dramatically improved in the four years Obama has been president. Does this country have a long way to go? Sure. But for this paper to keep trashing Dodd like he was the cause is simply unfair.

Much of That comes from the 36 years Dodd spent in congress working for us. Not to mention is pure partisan politics. "

You ( and mister Pape) are missing some of the basic principles of what makes this nation great:
1. That a man is innocent until proven guilty
2. That the burden of prove of guilt is on the government. Not the other way around.
3. That a person will be given a fair trial in a court of law.
Not a newspaper.
These these tenents aren't just for democrats and Dodd. They're for everyone - republicans, old, young, black, white, rich, poor. "

I love when the republicans say it was Fannie and Freddie and the democrats that caused the mortgage meltdown and completely absolve george w bush and the republicans…..wow……..
They say the democrats made the banks lend to people that were not credit worthy……… creating the subprime market…..no one makes banks lend to anyone not meeting their underwriting criteria…….case in point after the bailout the banks would not lend to anyone and it wasn't even their own capital….it was the taxpayers money……also not all banks were in the subprime market… there was a bank that was the same size as the bank I worked at…….they did not get involved in the subprime market….when the market collapsed….. this bank was well capitalized and went out and bought many other banks….. I rest my case.
The people who make these assertions do not understand the subprime market….. how it was born and how it worked……..It all started with banks packaging their loans and selling them to investment banks…….who then sold them to investors……….the banks made their profit immediately…..they did not make it over the life of the loan as with traditional loans………the demand for these mortgage backed securities became a hot item on wall street…..the banks needed a large volume of loans to keep up with the demand and the profits were huge…..hence the underwriting standards kept getting lower and lower… to keep up with demand in the market for their new found product that was a gold mine………this of course drove the price of real estate higher and higher……..now the fatal mistake they somehow made was this was going to go on forever …….never end…………….well of course it did end…………and the rest is history……….
Investors have filed lawsuits against 15 investment banks ……as they misrepresented how risky these mortgage backed securities actually were.
We have barely started to see a recovery from this disaster and once again the republicans are calling to repeal dodd frank so they can operate in their own best interest once again……they do this under the guise that it will create jobs……….of course we all know better……

he may not have been convicted at trial, but we never got our trial. he was penalized to the extent that the senate allows it's members to be. guilty. it's pretty convenient that the same people exposed to punishment get to write the rules by which they will be judged.

I know that higher levels AIs get bonuses. But do they actually play smarter? It seems a little unfair for the AIs to get bonuses. Is the idea just that to beat them, a player has to be so good that he can still win with a handicap?
There are definitely differences in AI behavior between difficulties - in particular, the AI is far more aggressive in their behavior: they will scheme against you and actively exploit your weaknesses (e.g. attack you if your army is weak). This behavior could be said to be "smarter". It's a completely different experience, and if you find yourself winning too easily I recommend moving to a higher difficulty for more engaging gameplay.
As to whether the AI is also smarter in micro-decisions - such as tactical combat or citizen allocation - I think the answer is no - it behaves very similarly in these regards.
I've looked through the source code for Civ5 that was released recently, and there are very few changes in AI behavior depending on difficulty level. The following is basically all I could find:
Thus, with the exception of above, the handicaps and bonuses (summarized here: http://www.civfanatics.com/civ5/difficulties) are the only determinant of difficulty.
An interesting corollary is that, contrary to popular opinion, diplomatic AI actually doesn't change starting from Prince and above. The seeming aggressiveness of AI at higher levels is caused by its faster expansion (contested borders sooner) and faster military buildup (so the player is considered weakling sooner)
The AI both plays smarter, and gets bonuses to boot. AIs will get bonuses in almost any game you can imagine, because it is much easier to just add 100 to ai_starting_gold than it is to program a more sophisticated decision tree/graph/process/squid.
Fortunately, the AI for Civ5 will also play smarter - or, at least, give you worse trades, be more willing to go to war against you, and kick you when you're down. (My current game on Emperor has occasionally had four different AI opponents at war with me at the same time, though at least two of them were so far away as to be harmless.)
on prince and diety the ais play the same just on diety they get HUGE bonuses they are not any smarter just more bonuses

A Celtic punk band in the spirit of the Pogoues. They sound terrific and are great listening and dancing for all (except the Brits). My family came over because of the "potato blight" and ALSO because their home was burned down in front of their eyes because they were behind on ONE MONTH of rent to the "land lord--brit". They saw many of their neighbors and even family die from hunger by the very same roads the brit's used everyday carrying large amounts of food to other wealthy and titled land owners. There is, unfortunately, much for Irish people to be bitter about. I feel happy that there is some peace there but it does not take away the hole in my heart left by my family being forced to leave the land they loved. I have never felt "comfortable" in America. Yet, I will never see Ireland. I am thinking of putting in my will to be buried there...

Harborne Ward
Harborne today is a west Birmingham suburb, yet older residents still talk of going down to the village to the shops. Everywhere there are reminders of its rural heritage, from the wide, open sweep of the golf courses to the 'old village' conservation area, with its ancient hall, stately 18th century house, cottages and village pub. Though the High Street may now be thronged with traffic, the parish church, with its 14th century tower, retains a peaceful, rural air.
Harborne was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book in 1086. It remained a small village on the borders of Staffordshire, until the Industrial Revolution. The growth of its neighbour, Birmingham, into a major City had far reaching effects, culminating in the then village becoming part of the second city in 1891.
Former home to, amongst others, Chad Valley toys, famous watercolour artist David Cox and Thomas Attwood, the city's first MP, Harborne is now one of Birmingham's most desirable places to live. A thriving and unique suburb, the area still manages to retain its Victorian heritage.
For more information on the History of Harborne see Harborne High Street Landmarks.

I was watching an old cartoon movie where a scientist makes a gadget, which when bound on the wrist, freezes the movement of the whole world. So, that one may do 100s of things in a single second. (The beagle boys later use the gadget to rob a whole bank in 1 second).
The scientist explains the working that the gadget helps in moving "very very fast". So fast that the person who wears it, sees the world, he finds everything frozen. As whatever he is doing is going on 1000s of times faster than the people in the world are doing.
The above explanation is quite logical and easily understandable actually. So, with this logic, if movement occurs faster, time freezes. More the movement, more the time freezes.
With this thing in mind, how come then theory of relativity claims that "moving faster may transport you ahead in time".
What I am assuming here is "transporting ahead in time" is probably something exactly opposite of "freezing the time". Am I right?

The American Heart Association's annual fundraising fete, held at the Hobby Center and chaired by Frank and Carolyn Grese, raised $1.1 million, thanks to generous community members and swoonworthy auction items like a weeklong vacation at a private villa in France. The fun continued at a young-professionals afterparty at Artista, featuring a live performance by Jimmie Vaughan and the Tilt-a-Whirl Band. ... And the Imperial Dragon-themed Junior League Charity Ball, a three-night event, also garnered more than $1 million.

Velocity® Facial Cleanser, 5 fl. oz.Blemish Control Toner 3*, 6.5 fl. oz.Acne Treatment Gel*, 1 oz.Velocity® Lightweight Moisturizer, 4 fl. oz.
Take care of your blemish-prone skin with this one convenient system.
*Over-the-counter drug product
All prices are suggested retail.
Myth: Eating greasy foods and chocolate will cause acne breakouts. Fact: Research has shown that foods seem to have little effect on the development of acne in most people. Following a strict diet will not clear your skin. Acne occurs when pores become blocked, trapping oil inside. As the skin continues to produce oil, the blockage grows, resulting in acne blemishes.
Myth: Picking a blemish helps the pimple to go away faster. Fact: Neither blackheads nor whiteheads should be squeezed or picked open unless extracted by a dermatologist under sterile conditions. Skin injured by squeezing or picking can become infected or scarred.
Myth: Stress causes acne. Fact: While stress does not cause acne, it can trigger flare-ups. When the body encounters stress, it increases the production of cortisol, which can increase the production of oil.
Myth: Acne is caused by poor hygiene. Fact: Actually, overwashing your face, stripping it of essential oils, will not eliminate acne nor will excessive scrubbing, which could cause skin irritation and more flare-ups. The best way to clean the face is to gently wash it twice a day with a mild soap or cleanser. Then use an appropriate acne treatment, such as a product which contains benzoyl peroxide.
Myth: There is a cure for acne. Fact: There is no cure for acne, but it can be controlled with regular use of an acne regimen. Mary Kay® offers four great products that, when used together, can help minimize and control blemishes, promoting an even complexion.
The Mary Kay® Acne-Fighters Set is a proven regimen specially designed to deliver the blemish-prone skin care you really want. The four incredible products deliver benefits to cleanse, freshen, hydrate, soften, and most importantly, help keep your skin blemish-free. The set offers everything from cleansing to acne treatment to lightweight moisturization and much more:
Velocity® Facial Cleanser deep cleans the face without removing necessary oil and moisture on the skin's surface. It also exfoliates and freshens skin. Leaves skin feeling soft and refreshed.
Blemish Control Toner 3* is the perfect acne treatment for the management of mild or occasional acne. It helps reduce the number of blackheads and acne pimples, while helping prevent new pimples and leaving skin free of excess oil.
Acne Treatment Gel* is the treatment your skin needs to penetrate pores and eliminate most blackheads, pimples and blemishes while preventing new ones from forming as well. It's clinically proven to dry and clear acne blemishes, allowing skin to heal.
Velocity® Lightweight Moisturizer works fast to smooth and soften skin. Plus, with its oil-absorbing ingredient to help control excess oil, it's perfect for blemish-prone skin. Features a light and fruity scent.
*Over-the-counter drug product
Apply to damp face and neck in a gentle, circular motion every morning and evening. Rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid contact with eyes.
Apply to a cotton ball or pad and then apply to face and neck avoiding eye and mouth areas.
Clean the skin thoroughly before applying. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily. Because too much drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, and then gradually increase to two or three times daily, if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day. If going outside, use a sunscreen. Allow benzoyl peroxide to dry and then follow directions in the sunscreen labeling.
Apply to clean face and neck in the morning and evening.
Deep cleans your face, tones to refresh and exfoliates.
Helps reduce the number of blackheads and acne pimples.
Benzoyl Peroxide kills acne bacteria within the pores and on the surface of the skin.
This lightweight moisturizer softens skin and contains an oil-absorbing ingredient to help control excess oil.

The luck of the Irish
WASHINGTON — Yet another reason to revere Calvin Coolidge is that he thought the Chicago Bears were a circus act. In the 1920s, professional football was small beer compared with the already big business of college football. Which today prospers partly by selling beer: Watch the commercials that pay for the television contracts that recently have disordered many college football conferences and nullified what were solemnly called "traditional rivalries."

In a system where users have multiple permissions that may overlap (i.e. "Write" might not include "Read" etc.) what is the best way to keep them in the database? Both in terms of security and "readability" (when I want to know if someone has a certain permission)
The standard method is a Discretionary Access Control List (DACL). Such a structure maps entities (e.g. users, user groups, etc.) to resources (e.g. files, mutexes, sockets, etc.) with a defined set of permission attributes placed on each link.
For example, the following represents a simple read/write DACL:
In this case, Alice has read access to
The interesting case is when we look at the
Such a model provides extremely flexible permissions and can be implemented in a variety of different data storage systems, e.g. filesystem, RDBMS, key-value storage engine, etc.
Of course, the example above doesn't directly translate to a relational database table, because of the ambiguity between user groups and users. This can be resolved by using a security identifier (SID), which uniquely identifies any entity. I'd probably implement it something like this:
This allows you to easily query for permissions in SQL using a
One simple way would be to have a table where each row has the subject (e.g., Alice), the resource (e.g., some file), and the list of permissions that this subject has to this resource (e.g., read, write, execute).
The representation of this data is not terribly important to security. More important are issues like: the granularity of permissions; the granularity of subjects (are they users? apps?); the granularity of resources; how the policy can be changed (can subjects delegate access they have to other subjects, and if so, are there any constraints or restrictions?).

Trojan Barbie Modern Tragedy at UNH April 21-25
Not for the faint of heart, a new play by Australian born playwright Christine Evans aims to challenge audiences at UNH. Part contemporary drama, part homage to Euripides' "Trojan Women," "Trojan Barbie" recasts the legendary fall of the city of Troy against the vivid reality of modern warfare. Poetic, compassionate, and tinged with great warmth and humor, "Trojan Barbie" is an epic war story with a most unlikely heroine who manages to look on the bright side even amidst the chaos.
The play begins with Lotte Jones, a British doll repair expert in need of a vacation. She books herself on a cultural tour for singles and travels with them to modern-day Troy, where she finds more of a change of scene than she'd bargained for— she's in the midst of an attack by the Greek army threatening to destroy the last fragments of a mighty civilization.
"Trojan Barbie" has adult themes and is not suitable for children. It is directed by UNH director of acting and directing, associate professor David Kaye and runs April 21-24 at 7 p.m. and April 25 at 2 p.m. in the Hennessy Theatre.

I was wondering if it was possible have a command that creates one file, but every time the command is executed, it wouldn't overwrite the file created in the previous execution.
For example:
touch test1.txt would create 1 file called
test1.txt. But the next time I execute it, I would like the new file to be called
test2.txt, or something like that. So without overwriting the already existing file. In a way it could be executed multiple times without problems.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to create multiple files with one command.
Thanks in advance!

When Funmi Oyatogun came to CU-Boulder from Port Harcourt, Nigeria, she vowed to take advantage of as many opportunities for study, research, social action and fun as she could squeeze into a 24-hour day.
After all, she reasoned, you go to college for the first time only once.
A senior double-majoring in environmental studies and geography, Oyatogun chose CU at the suggestion of her father, who had admired the school for a while. Her brother Oluwaseun is a graduate student in mechanical engineering and her sister Oluwatoyin is a sophomore in business, both at CU-Boulder.
"I like getting involved outside my academics," she said, "because I do believe that I need an all-around college education. Studying is first, but it's not all about studying."
A prolific and creative writer, Oyatogun shares her thoughts and experiences as an international student on a blog for the Office of Admissions. She also writes a personal blog called Burnt Bottom Pot.
She serves as the International Student Liaison for student government, a position that was created as a result of her advocacy for international students at CU and also works for the Environmental Center on the Assembly for Sustainability and Equity (CU ASE), facilitating campus activities on environmental justice.
As president of the African Students' Association, she focused on organizing events that give the campus community an insight into the cultures of continental Africa and its surrounding islands. Recently, she founded Bailiff Africa, an organization that promotes environmental sustainability initiatives in Nigeria.
"We're especially dedicated to the youth population," she said, "because we recognize the role that the youth play and the stake that we have in our country of Nigeria and the continent as a whole."
At the 2011 Diversity Summit held on campus, Oyatogun was a member of a panel discussion on Racism and Environmental Justice exploring the link between social inequalities and sustainability. In this year's Diversity Summit she is again serving on a panel that will explore how product choices impact the environment.
Oyatogun interned with Colorado Public Interest Research Group (CoPIRG), an organization that focuses on pressing public interest issues such as environmental protection.
Despite the rigors of her studies and her tireless involvement with social activism, Oyatogun makes time for meeting friends at a local coffee shop, dancing with an African dance troupe and especially for reading.
"You will find me dead with a book in my hands," she joked. "Many of my days are planned to each hour, so I cherish my free moments."
Her biggest challenge living in Boulder has been acclimating to winter weather and the snow.
"I am not friends with the snow," she said. "But I promised myself I will go skiing before I graduate."
After she graduates in December, Oyatogun plans to go to graduate school and then return to Nigeria, where she will work to extend environmental sustainability throughout Africa.
Her advice for international students is to keep an open mind, maintain their native culture, but try out new experiences.
"Make sure when you graduate you don't have any regrets," said Oyatogun. "You're only young once. Good grades are important, but have an all-round experience. Spend your money on experiences and collect memories."

WACO (October 1st, 2012)- The victim and the 911 caller whose report interrupted a guerrilla style attempted robbery at a local grocery store, just happened to know each other.
The man who endured a half hour of hell last Thursday night at the Super Plaza grocery store, spoke out about the dramatic kidnapping robbery which could have claimed his life.
After Assistant Manager Ruben Valdez closed the store, he was attacked by three heavily armed men who threw him into the back of his own car.
"I was in the back seat, he had me bent over with my head in his lap, with a 9-mm to the back of my head," Valdez said.
They forced Valdez into the store where they beat him, ordering him to open the store's safe.
"I just kept picturing you know, they are going to find my body sitting here on the floor," Valdez said.
But the thieves' mission was cut short when police, prompted by a 911 call, arrived.
After Ruben and the three men pulled up to the supermarket, Vera Tijerina saw their vehicle outside the entrance.
Tijerina lives across the street from the supermarket. She says she's seen the store robbed before, so she picked up the phone, and called the police.
"I got scared, my dogs started barking, and so I just called 911," Tijerina said.
Tijerina had no idea what was going on inside.
She also didn't know that Valdez, someone she sees everyday when she goes to the supermarket, was being terrorized by the gunmen.
"I know Ruben, he's a good man," Tijerina said.
"He helps me all the time at the store. He didn't deserve that at all."
The three men were arrested, and Ruben's life was spared.
Valdez said he knew his kidnappers. The men had worked at the grocery store and had left months earlier.
"I think I'm alive because those people called the police," Valdez said.
The next time Tijerina goes to the Super Plaza, she'll see Valdez.
But Valdez won't see her. All he will see is his guardian angel.
"I'm just so glad he's alive and nothing happened to him," Tijerina said.
