2 injured, Flight for Life deployed in head-on crash
Sheriff says truck hits SUV on Highway 12
ELKORN, Wis. — The Walworth County Sheriff's Office said one man had to be extricated and flown to the hospital after an early-morning crash on Highway 12 just outside Whitewater, Wis.
The department said a pick-up truck and an SUV collided head on at about 4:30 a.m.
William Fojut, 53, was traveling west on Highway 12 in the pickup truck when sheriff's deputies said the Fojut crossed the center line and struck the SUV traveling east driven by David Wegner, 54.
Sheriff's deputies said Wegner was trapped in the SUV and was extricated by Whitewater Fire and Rescue. Flight for Life transferred Wegner to the UW Hospital in Madison with multiple injuries, according to the report. Fojut was taken by ambulance to an area hospital and was later released with minor injuries.
A UW Hospital representative said Wegner is in fair condition Wednesday.
Both men were wearing seatbelts.
The sheriff's department said alcohol and drugs were not factors in the crash and the crash remains under investigation.

CF No.1 - Opaque White - 1.000 ml
Under the label "CoolForce - powered by Nanoxia" we present selected components for demanding water cooling and modding enthusiasts.
The additive CoolForce CF No.1 Opaque White improves the performance and appearance of your water cooling and will protect your system in the future. You don't need any additional additives. This product has been tested in leading water cooling solutions. As the name suggests, the fluid is opaque.
Corrosion Protection
In order for you to operate your water cooling system without problems for as long as possible, we set the priority on the UV Acid Green additive on protection against corrosion.
Different manufacturers of liquid cooling systems use different types of metals in their systems, which are often used together. To protect the metal components from corrosion we have developed a coolant, which in particular protects the metals copper, aluminum, brass and nickel. The special features in this case are the added inhibitors, which are preventing the corrosion of metal parts inside the cooling circuit. Thanks to our special mixture our additive is compatible with all water cooling system.
UV active
By adding different pigments and dyes the liquid gets its distinctive color. With the addition of UV-active substances, so-called artificial tracers, the liquid is stimulated to luminesce when illuminated with light of a suitable wavelength - in this case, ultraviolet light. A bright LED UV lamp is all you need for this to work. Depending on the hose size, type and wall thickness, our Opaque White additive can have different effects in different systems under UV light.
Quality control
The liquids and all parts of it are manufactured and overseen in Germany.
The liquids are examined each month for consistency and subjected to various endurance tests in cooling systems. With the CoolForce liquids you will always receive products of outstanding quality.
We suggest to change the fluid once per year.
- Non-conductive
- UV Reactive properties
- Stabile HDPE bottle

Notre Dame lost 42-14 on Monday.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — On a flawless South Florida night, Notre Dame players saw a legend emerge in present time. To their bone-deep disbelief, it was not them.
The eruption of streamers and confetti and joy surrounded them, and their shock and desolation filled the spaces in between. A program lost for a quarter-century might not be directionless, but the top looked far away from here.
A moment the Irish believed they were meant to have ended in a quiet walk out of sight and into another year of what might be. Alabama is the national champion, again, the SEC's marauding run extended to a seventh straight year with a 42-14 humiliation of Notre Dame in the BCS title game Monday, the Irish's first loss also their most excruciating.
Most left the field with distant gazes as the Crimson Tide hoisted newspapers with headlines blaring, "BAMA AGAIN." Nose guard Louis Nix limped off slowly. Tailback Theo Riddick pulled a towel over his head to hide his tears, which then burst forth by his locker stall. Across the room, freshman cornerback KeiVarae Russell tried to laugh through crying he couldn't stop.
Twenty-four years since that last title in 1988, wandering through losses and death and empty promise. When everyone saw the light at the end of it all, what they saw was that crystal football hoisted skyward. It remained far, far beyond their grasp at Sun Life Stadium and claimed by a different reborn college football dynasty.
"They're back-to-back national champs," Irish coach Brian Kelly said. "So that's what it looks like. Measure yourself against that, and it was pretty clear across the board what we have to do."
It was an oppressive deluge of unprepared and nerve-racked play from the start, the most yards (529) surrendered by Notre Dame (12-1) all year and the most points ever surrendered by Notre Dame in a bowl game. Eddie Lacy rampaged for 140 yards, AJ McCarron threw for 264 and four touchdowns and Alabama (13-1) did, basically, whatever it wanted.
Alabama players called a meeting shortly after their arrival in Florida, and some mused that it reflected a fracture in the focus of the defending champs. But the stoicism they demonstrated all week turned out to be determination to kick the ever-loving tar out of the nation's No. 1 team.
"We knew one team would break," Alabama defensive end Damion Square said, "and it wasn't going to be us."
It required only five plays for Alabama to find the end zone. Lacy was the sledgehammer, and it was 7-0 after the longest touchdown drive and the first first-quarter touchdown allowed by Notre Dame all season.
The curb-stomping didn't end. McCarron threw a touchdown pass, then set up a T.J. Yeldon score with 25- and 28-yard passes, then dumped a short toss to Lacy that the junior hauled into the end zone. It was a 28-0 lead, arrived at brutally, with special indifference to destiny and fortune.
"They did not dominate us," Nix said. "We just didn't play our ballgame, man. We didn't make tackles. Everything we did or had lined up should have worked."
In whatever context or interpretation, Alabama was destroying everything Notre Dame built over a brilliant season, stomping validation into a million little pieces.
"It felt like we were sinking in quicksand," guard Chris Watt said. "We couldn't get out of it."
It was 35-0 before Notre Dame at last responded with an 85-yard drive to an Everett Golson 2-yard option keeper, ending the Tide's 108-minute shutout streak in BCS championship appearances. When McCarron answered with another scoring toss to Amari Cooper, all that was left was getting out alive and figuring where to go from here.
After that last title in 1988, the pall descended. Lou Holtz left, and then it was Bob Davie and George O'Leary's resume and Tyrone Willingham and Charlie Weis' decided schematic advantage. Then Kelly arrived, and there was no definable reason to expect a title run to happen this year, and then it did.
It seemed, regardless of the outcome, Notre Dame might be a fully functional college football leviathan humming along. Then came the mighty Tide and a dent in the validation.
So, yes, the Irish making it this far proved a great deal.
"Nobody had us in this position to start the season," said receiver DaVaris Daniels, a bright spot with 115 receiving yards, "and look how far we've come, so quick."
And yet the Irish absorbing such a bracing setback means they must prove so much more.
"At Notre Dame, you're expected to win national championships," Watt said. "A lot of the things we did this season were just unbelievable. Those were all wonderful things. But it doesn't really mean anything when you don't win a national championship. You can't really win anything else here."
So off they went, dazed and empty-handed. All around them the new college football dynasty celebrated. All around them, Notre Dame saw what it desperately wanted to become.
Off they went, into the tunnels, a brilliant season ending well short of legend. And the Irish would do what everyone before them had done for a quarter-century, and wake up in the morning just waiting to get back.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help detect and identify a mycobacterial infection; to diagnose tuberculosis (TB); to monitor the effectiveness of treatment
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms of a lung infection, such as a chronic cough, weight loss, fever, chills, and weakness, that may be due to TB or another mycobacterial infection; when your doctor suspects that you have an active TB infection; when you have a positive TB screening test and you are in a high-risk group for progressing to active disease; when you have a skin or other body site infection that may be due to mycobacteria; to monitor the effectiveness of TB treatment
Sample Required?
For suspected cases of tuberculosis lung infections, three sputum samples are collected early in the morning on different days. If the affected person is unable to produce sputum, a bronchoscope may be used to collect fluid during a procedure called a bronchoscopy. In children, gastric washings/aspirates may be collected. Depending on symptoms, urine, an aspirate from the site of suspected infection, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), other body fluids, or biopsied tissue samples may be submitted for AFB smear and culture.
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) are a group of rod-shaped bacteria (bacilli). They get their name because they can be seen and counted under the microscope when smeared on a slide and treated with a special "acid-fast" staining procedure. There are a several types of bacteria that may be detected in this manner; however, the most common and medically important acid-fast bacilli (AFB) are members of the genus Mycobacterium.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the most prevalent and infectious species of mycobacteria. Most samples that are submitted for AFB smears and cultures are collected because the doctor suspects that a person has a lung infection caused by M. tuberculosis (TB). Another group of bacteria referred to as non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), can also cause infections. However, only a few of the more than 60 species of mycobacteria that have been identified cause infections in humans. They include:
- Mycobacterium africanum causes a disease similar to TB in certain parts of the world
- Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) can cause a lung infection in immunosuppressed patients, such as the elderly and those with AIDS; this infection is not contagious but can be difficult to treat as it tends to be highly resistant to antibiotics.
- Other mycobacterial species, such as Mycobacterium marinum, grow in water, such as fish tanks, and can cause skin infections, while other rapidly growing mycobacteria can infect wounds and prosthetic devices.
- A few mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium bovis, can sometimes be transferred from animal to human.
An AFB smear, which can provide presumptive results in a few hours, is a valuable tool in helping to make decisions about treatment while culture results are pending. Typically, several AFB smears from different samples are screened for AFB since the number of bacilli may vary from sample to sample and day to day. If acid-fast bacilli are present on any of the smears, a mycobacterial infection is likely. Since M. tuberculosis is the most common cause of respiratory infections with mycobacteria, a presumptive diagnosis of TB can be made, but other follow-up testing must be done to positively identify the acid-fast bacilli as either M. tuberculosis or another mycobacteria species.
Patient samples are processed for AFB cultures at the same time as the smears. Mycobacteria grow more slowly than other types of bacteria so positive identification of the species that is/are present may take days to several weeks, while negative results (no mycobacterial growth) can take up to 6 to 8 weeks to confirm.
Tests that may be done in addition to an AFB smear and culture include:
- Molecular tests for TB that detect the genetic components of mycobacteria have been developed to help decrease the amount of time necessary for a presumptive diagnose of tuberculosis. These include genetic probes and molecular TB testing. They amplify/replicate pieces of the microorganisms' genetic material to detect mycobacteria in body samples in less than 24 hours and can narrow the identification to a complex of mycobacteria (a combination, of which M. tuberculosis is the most common). They are fairly sensitive and specific when they are paired with positive AFB smears; when they are done on samples that are AFB negative by smear, they tend to be less accurate. These methods are approved for respiratory samples and must be confirmed with an AFB culture, but they do provide the doctor with a quick answer, allowing him to isolate potentially infectious patients and minimize the spread of the disease. Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that people with signs and symptoms of TB have at least one sample tested using nucleic acid amplification to be used in conjunction with AFB smear and culture.
- Susceptibility testing for cultures that are positive will determine the bacteria's susceptibility or resistance to drugs most commonly used to treat the infection.
Since TB is transmitted by airborne droplets from respiratory secretions, it is a public health risk. It can spread in confined populations, such as correctional facilities, nursing homes, and schools. Those who are very young, elderly, or have diseases and conditions, such as AIDS, that compromise their immune systems tend to be especially vulnerable. AFB smears and cultures can help track and minimize the spread of TB in these populations and help determine the effectiveness of treatment.
How is the sample collected for testing?
Since M. tuberculosis and M. avium most frequently infect the lung (pulmonary disease), sputum is the most commonly tested sample. Sputum is phlegm, thick mucus that is coughed up from the lungs. Usually, three to five early morning samples are collected (on consecutive days) in individual sterile cups.
If a person is unable to produce sputum, the doctor may collect respiratory samples using a procedure called a bronchoscopy. Bronchoscopy allows the doctor to look at and collect samples from the bronchi and bronchioles. Once a local anesthetic has been sprayed onto the airway, the doctor can insert a tube into the bronchi and smaller bronchioles and aspirate fluid samples for testing. Sometimes, he will introduce a small amount of saline through the tubing and into the bronchi and then aspirate it to collect a bronchial washing.
Since young children cannot produce a sputum sample, gastric washings/aspirates may be collected. This involves introducing saline into the stomach through a tube, followed by fluid aspiration.
If the doctor suspects TB is present outside of the lungs (extrapulmonary), a condition fairly common in AIDS patients, he may test the body fluids and tissues most likely affected. For instance, one or more urine samples may be collected if he suspects TB has infected the kidneys. A needle may used to collect body fluid from joints or from other body cavities, such as the pericardium or abdomen. Occasionally, the doctor may collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or perform a minor surgical procedure to obtain a tissue biopsy.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY: After a two-year relationship ended, I got pregnant on the rebound. I called my ex and told him I was having a baby with another man because I wanted to hurt him. Apparently it worked -- at least that's what his best friend told me.
Now that a few months have passed, I ran into him and all those loving feelings I had for him came rushing back. Should I tell him? The father of this baby is a good-for-nothing deadbeat. He wants to be father-of-the-year without helping me financially.
What should I do about my feelings for my ex, and what should I do about the father of my baby? -- CAN'T DECIDE IN NEW JERSEY
DEAR CAN'T DECIDE: It is time for you to grow up and accept responsibility for the situation you're in right now. Your behavior has been immature and irresponsible. The child you're carrying is going to need someone who can provide for him or her financially and emotionally.
Because you have feelings for your ex, contact him and let him know, but don't count on him wanting to reconcile. Then you should also contact a lawyer about ensuring that "Babydaddy" lives up to his financial responsibilities.
And in the future, when you decide to have sex with someone, recognize there could be consequences and use birth control. Every time!
DEAR ABBY: Recently my mother and I got into an argument on a four-hour road trip. She didn't like my opinions or my answers, so she kicked my 17-year-old daughter and me out of her vehicle and abandoned us in an unsafe neighborhood two hours from our home. She has done it twice before, and I have yet to hear an apology from her for dumping us on the curb.
Luckily, my son was able to come and retrieve us. Most people would have cut her off the first time she pulled this stunt, but I'm a "three-strikes-you're-out" kind of person. I have given my mother many opportunities to apologize for her behavior, but she refuses to acknowledge her own wrongdoing.
I have decided this is the last time this will happen to me. I no longer speak to her and won't allow my daughter to go anywhere with her for fear she will be dumped somewhere unsafe. My other kids -- ages 21 and 22 -- say I should get over it. Was cutting her off a reasonable response? -- THUMBIN' FOR A RIDE
DEAR THUMBIN': Your mother appears to have a short fuse and poor judgment. Is cutting her off a reasonable response? I think so. Dumping someone in an unsafe neighborhood could get the person killed, something we see all too often in the media. If you ever decide to relent, however, and go anywhere with her, make sure you are the one behind the wheel because it's clear Mama can't be trusted when she's in the driver's seat.
DEAR ABBY: My family and I moved to Iowa when I was in high school to be closer to the other side of the family. Because we had lived in California, we didn't interact much with our Iowa family. So now, even though we have been back in Iowa for the last eight years, they still forget our birthdays and don't include us in family get-togethers. How should I deal with this situation? -- EXCLUDED IN THE HAWKEYE STATE
DEAR EXCLUDED: It appears you're being punished for the "sins" of your parents. (Could there have been some friction with the Iowa relatives that caused the move to California?) All you can do is talk to them and see if you can improve the situation. Consider inviting them to YOUR family get-togethers and you may get a positive response.
However, if they are not receptive, then it will be up to you to create a "replacement" family out of the people you have become close to in your community since your return.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Denver's thriving medical marijuana industry on "60 Minutes"
Denver's thriving medical marijuana industry is the focus of a "60 Minutes" story by Steve Kroft this week, Sunday at 6 p.m. on Channel 4. The topic, already well covered by local media and national cable and broadcast networks, now gets the "60 Minutes" treatment.
With the pot-legalization measure on the ballot for November, and with "pot tourism dollars" at issue, Kroft notes that while the businesses have created jobs and helped the economy, they're still against federal law.
Kroft and his producers did a round of interviews in Denver in April and have returned several times. The camera lingers on various shops and visits marijuana products firm Dixie Elixirs.

Kirkwood Mountain
Kirkwood is located only 45 minutes away from the bright lights, large resorts and "mini Las Vegas" feel of South Lake Tahoe, but is light-years away in altitude and ambiance, and depending on what you are looking for that might be a good thing. Make no mistake about it, you'll still find a large resort with all the amenities when you go Kirkwood. We are talking about a big mountain here with a 2,000 foot vertical, 2,300 acres of terrain and, thanks in part to its high altitude, an average snowfall of over 600 inches that's over 50 feet! You combine that with on-site lodging, dining, and a host of off-slope activities and you have pretty much everything you need to enjoy your time at Kirkwood.
Kirkwood is probably one of the most balanced resorts in the Tahoe region in terms of terrain for each ability level. The beginners will want to stick, almost exclusively to the terrain off of the Snowkirk and Bunny lifts. Both lifts offer up some excellent easy slopes and Bunny has a beginner terrain park as well. The best part is that these areas are more-or-less out of the main flow of traffic so you won't have to worry about people flying past you or dodging a lot of other skiers and riders. Intermediate terrain makes up the majority of the mountain. Head up the east-facing Sunrise lift early in the morning for a run down the Elevator Shaft or Happiness Is. Or maybe head for the Cornice Express if you're feeling daring and go for Look-out Janek or Olympic. If you are looking for some good powder after a storm you can't go wrong with the Palisades Bowl. Are you the expert in the group looking for the steepest stuff Kirkwood has to offer

Start Garden invests in emergency response for motorcycles
Motorcyclists may never ride alone again.
Craig Searer, a sales accountant at Belwith Prodcuts, wanted to create a mobile system that would decrease the response time for high-fatality-rate motorcycle accidents and save lives.
Echoing the military's battle-buddy system, Searer's system, Buddy Up, would function in a similar way, placing an automatic call to emergency providers, like an emergency OnStar for motorcycles.
"Motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to experience a deadly accident on the road than those in passenger cars, and the first minutes are among the most critical for an injured rider," Searer writes on his Start Garden page.
The Start Garden team liked Searer's idea and invested $5,000 into the technology's development last week.
Searer plans to use the money to create a prototype and survey motorcyclists and other sports enthusiasts to see if the system couple be applied to other fields.
"The way it would make money is the sale of the unit itself, paired with a charge for the call center," Searer writes.
Buddy Up would use Bluetooth Smart technology, which would "pair to your smartphone and use your smartphones GPS" and be "integrated into a helmet or directly on the motorcycle," Searer writes.
Searer would like to start with motorcycles and move to "adventure sports," such as cycling, ATV riding and paragliding.
The technology is also personal for Searer.
"A close friend of mine almost lost his life in a motorcycle accident," Searer writes. "Buddy Up comes out of necessity for motorcycle riders everywhere."

The Blaze
April 25, 2013
Photos of a visit Michelle Obama is alleged to have had with Abdul Rahman Alharbi — the Saudi national previously considered to be "person of interest," "armed and dangerous," and worthy of inclusion on a watch list — may have appeared on a Facebook page associated with an English language school in Boston or students who share a common bond of going to English schools in the area.
The above photo montage, which was posted at FreeRepublic today, originally appears on the Facebook page for "EC Boston Saudi's." EC Boston most likely refers to the EC Boston English Language School. The Arabic caption on the photo reads: "اخونا عبدالرحمن الحربي مع ميشيل أُباما واصاحبة"
Filtered through Google Translate, this comes out to: "Brother Abdul Rahman Alharbi with Michelle [untranslatable] and Asahabh." The photos were originally posted by Facebook user Yazeed Salem, who appears to be pictured with Alharbi in the top-left photo.
The individual photographs give every appearance of being genuine. There is no obvious sign of Photoshopping (although it's possible they have been).

When it comes to Tiny Houses, they come in all shapes and sizes. Even the definition of a Tiny House isn't all that definitive. People who live in tiny houses live in areas that are urban to the most remote areas of the earth and everything in between. Diversity of what Tiny is, is in itself, part of what makes it so fascinating to me. As people take these ideals we share in the Tiny House Movement and manifest itself in so many forms, we find creative ways to live in small homes.
This richness of various forms allows us to rethink traditional housing in so many great ways. I have toyed with building a Tiny Home a la Jay Schaffer, which I would venture is one of the most popular approaches today. The other option I have considered is a prefab shed. Today I was able to go see a model that I have been toying with the idea of purchasing and putting in the middle of a plot of land.
There are issues with this approach of course. Like all other Tiny Home making this legal and to code is rather difficult by its nature of being Tiny. One big advantage of the prefab shed option is that these structures will almost always pass code, are easily able to obtain building permits, if you even need one! Of course officially this would have to be just a shed. It gets a bit more complicated when you are not placing the shed behind a primary dwelling. This is where I find myself.
When I was talking with the sales person at the shed store, she told me that they have had several customers live in these sheds. They call these buildings "sheds" loosely, with models up to 1000+ square feet.
Why a shed though? Well like I mentioned the ease of getting them legitimized of course helps. Second they are cheap! The model I show here is 192 Square Feet. Included are the windows, doors, installations, taxes, anchoring, site leveling and delivery all for the price of $4,200! Figure adding in permits, running power, insulation and drywall (doing the work myself of course) I am looking at a sweet house for around six grand. You could then deck it out with Ikea swag for another $500 and have a really really nice place! The only drawback is there is no loft for a bed, so you have to deal with that, Murphy bed?
The other advantage to these houses is that you can move them! Not as easily as a house on a trailer, but it's possible. The other advantage I see with this is that they offer payment plans of $70 a month, makes it pretty affordable, considering I have friends that pay over $1500 a month in rent.
I wanted to ask you all what do you think of this idea?
Is anyone here doing this?

PROVIDENCE — In a perfect world, Ed Cooley would have the luxury of bringing along Josh Fortune at a pace suitable for a freshman.
Instead of dipping his toe in the water and feeling his way around, Fortune has been tossed head first into the deep end of the pool. There would be no easing the 6-foot-5 guard into his new world, no spoon-feeding on a Providence College team where contributions these days are mandated, not expected.
Through six games for PC, Fortune has managed to hold his own under atypical circumstances. The 38.7 minutes of floor time he's averaging ranks second among Big East participants, trailing only teammate Bryce Cotton (39.6). Right behind Fortune is fellow Friar LaDontae Henton at 38.5 mpg. Another heavy workload figures to await all three when Providence welcomes Holy Cross to The Dunk Tuesday night.
"I love him to death, but it's too much for him right now," expressed Cooley about Fortune joining the fray sooner rather than later. "Sometimes kids say that they can't wait to play and want to play every minute, but be careful what you ask for. Accountability is a must."
The fact that Fortune hardly ever comes out of the game – the Hampton, Va. native logged a season-low 32 minutes against NJIT and has played 39 or more minutes on four occasions – has allowed him to emerge from the cocoon at a time when Cooley would like nothing better than to pull back the reins. Conversely, Providence's second-year head coach is fully aware that every healthy and available body is fair game – even if one of those bodies is a precocious first-year player undergoing a baptism by fire.
"It's definitely been a lot to handle, but my teammates have been helping me out with everything," Fortune pointed out. "I've been playing basketball my whole life, so other than this being a different level, it's still the same sport."
Fortune ranks fourth on the Friars in scoring (9.5 ppg) while second in assists (17) and turnovers (22). The latter figure is one that perplexed Cooley to the point that after PC's season opener, he noted that Fortune spent some of the game helping out the opposition before coming over to the correct side of the fence. Call it a case of freshman growing pains.
Taking an even deeper look at Fortune's development, he's made 43 percent of his field goals while connecting at a 32-percent clip on 3-pointers. According to hoop-math.com, Fortune's true shooting percentage is 0.497 percent. The figure takes into account "the different values of two- and three-point shots, as well as including the value added by made free throws" and that "generally, a number of about 0.55 or greater is pretty good."
For comparison's sake, fellow PC workaholic Henton's total shooting percentage is 0.488 while Cotton stands at 0.605.
"I just have to roll with the punches and play," said a confident Fortune.
While Cotton has handled the bulk of the distributing duties in Vincent Council's absence, there have been times when Fortune has been called upon to run the point in order to let Cotton take over as a scorer. His single-game high in assists is six, achieved Nov. 12 against Bryant.
"I have to keep working on my ball handling in order to get Cotton off the ball and give him a little break," Fortune acknowledged. "I'm not considered just a scorer, so whatever coach wants me to do, I'm game."
Fortune's arrival on PC's campus did not match the acclaim that was saved for more celebrated classmates Kris Dunn and Ricky Ledo. A month into his college career, the perceived third wheel has been the one thrust into the spotlight, a development that should bode well for the novice Fortune not just this season, but beyond.
RIM RATTLERS: Perhaps the most interesting stat in PC's season to date is that through six games, the short-handed Friars have yet to see a player foul out. … Cotton presently leads the Big East in scoring (23.8) and eighth in the country. … PC has won seven of the last 10 matchups against Holy Cross.

1. L'oreal True Match Super Blendable Foundation in 7W, $9.99
Don't let the price of this fool you. This is my go-to foundation. It gives great coverage and really makes my skin look flawless. It is a must-have for me.
2. Carmex, $2.99
Words can't describe how long I've been using this "hood classic." You know how your lips can get in the winter. One application of this in the morning, and I don't have to worry about chapped lips at all. I keep one of these in all of my bags!
3. Shu-Uemura Eye Lash Curler, $20.00
I don't understand how people can apply mascara before curling first. It makes a huge difference. No other lash curler does the job like this one.
4. Garnier Nutri-Pure The Expert Exfoliator, $5.99
It's so important to exfoliate your skin-especially during the winter when it can become dry and flaky. I love this exfoliator because it leaves my skin feeling like new, but also super soft and silky.
5. Beauty Blender, $19.95
Every girl in the world should own one of these. I use mine damp. It not only leaves my skin looking flawless, but I end up not having to use as much foundation.
I'd love to know your top beauty products! Comment below!

Video of the Month: Berkley Springs
Posted by Brian on 5th February 2011 in Canadian Guitarists, Fingerstyle Guitar, Guitarists, Video of the Month
Berkley Springs is a beautiful guitar tune written by Canadian singer/songwriter David Essig. Written in memory of his mother and named after her hometown, it was originally written in DADGAD tuning. Don Ross wrote his own arrangement of the tune in FACFCF tuning to allow for some different chord inversions. This duet arrangement featuring Don Ross and Peter Kroll-Ploeger is one of the nicest versions I've heard. I also love the fact that they really seem to be enjoying themselves while playing it.

You are, literally, the worst person to debate with. I give up.
Haha, ok. You get butthurt about the fact you would have to pay for amor skins, after you complained how ugly they are, while you also say they're the "best content". You're also shocked that a corporation is out to make money, *shocker*.
I tell you that you don't have to buy the skins, you can just buy the maps for a lower cost per map than almost every previous DLC map released for Halo. The cost per map is objective information, you have only given contradicting opinions.
LOL, I give up too.

Gifted – A Poem
'Disabled', the society screamed and their life was restricted,
'Different! not less', was the chant to which their parent's enlisted.
To achieve the impossible, is what their families committed,
It was every parent's dream that their child lives unassisted.
Unique they were, and each of them was spirited,
Unhindered by the limitations, their bodies had inherited.
Reading about their triumphs, the myth of disability gets lifted,
'A celebration called life' is the story of these truly GIFTED.
Gifted is a collection of 15 inspiring stories of people with disabilities. It's written by VR Ferose and Sudha Menon. This blogger is proud to have been associated with the book in his own small way (check the acknowledgment in the book).

Condition: Standard
All Product Details
Over three decades, Hamlin's practice devolved into just another racket: intimidating witnesses, suborning perjury, destroying evidence, laundering money. But is he the victim of murder—or of a dangerous sexual encounter gone wrong? And when law enforcement believes justice has already been done, who can be trusted to find out?
Once again in the city where his career came to a shattering end, former detective Harlan Donnally resolved it wouldn't be him. He had no desire to immerse himself in the deceit that was Hamlin's career . . . nor entangle himself in the corrupted loyalties that turned the dead lawyer's associates into both co-conspirators and suspects . . . nor make himself the proxy for the hatreds and betrayals Hamlin left behind.
But the presiding judge demanded otherwise—and that might cost Donnally his life.

There is more choice than ever when it comes to taking the kids on a day out across the Home Counties and beyond but Cadbury World is still worth going that little bit further.
Cadbury World may have been around a long time - the Willy Wonka-inspiring factory itself since the 1800s - but it still attracts a huge number of families every year.
Seen as a new venture into the leisure industry when it opened in 1990, Cadbury World began its life principally as a public relations tool, but quickly became a popular half-day venue for people of all ages looking for quality leisure time.
The original attraction was very educational and historical-based, with mainly static displays. Over time, Cadbury World has grown to be a family attraction of much bigger dimensions.
It has maintained visitor numbers comfortably in excess of half a million annually but has had to morph its educational offering with some theme park-esque fun to compete with other family attractions.
It has managed to do just that without losing any of the magic and there is a diverse range of things to do during a visit from seasonal events to a chocolatier experience, the Cadabra ride, 4D chocolate adventure and walkabout elements which take you on a journey of chocolate from its Aztec beginnings.
What you do during your visit will very much be dictated by the age of the people in your party but you all end up at the same place, the world's biggest Cadbury store which is actually reasonably priced and boasts lots of exclusive treats not available elsewhere.
As if the brand wasn't well known enough it is now one of the key sponsors of the Premier League and it shows with life size chocolate footballs on sale in the store.
One of the highlights of the walkarounds is the mechanical 'Phil Collins gorilla' re-enacting the famous advert as he belts out the classic tune on the drums.
The new Purple Planet interactive zone is great fun for the kids and the most modern element of Cadbury World.
Seasonal events like the recent Halloween Spooktacular during the October half-term are ideal for family visits and if the weather is kind there is even an outdoor play park area to enjoy.
A family of five can visit for just under £60 while children under four go free.
The Birmingham-based attraction is often deemed that bit too far for Home Counties dwellers... but the ever evolving Cadbury World still has that wonderful charm which makes it worth the extra few miles.

About a month ago we adopted a kitten. When we adopted him he was only 3 weeks old and weighed about 12 ounces. They had named him Tank and we thought name fit him perfectly because Tank has no fear. Despite his size Tank can take down our 11 month old dog – who outweighs him by 20 pounds – and can climb anything. I love him, boys love him and even my husband with allergies likes him.
Here is where things get hairy: Tank came to our house and immediately proceeded to go #2 on our off-white carpet. We noticed that he had the most severe case of the kitty-trots. The smell cannot be described by written word, you guys just have to experience it personally. An emergency trip to the vet, tests and specially prepared meds for a small kitten, prescription kitty food and a week later he still had the trots. He started using his litter box but with emergency visits to our carpet.
So off we went to the vet again; an overnight stay, lab tests with clean results and a new perscription kitty food later back home we came. The results are so so at best. Mr. Tank should be named Mr. Skunk. My sincere apologies for the way this post is going but I must tell you his gaseous excretions are constant and deadly. Our carpet is a lost cause, he still has the trots and I am at a loss as to what to do and what to feed him.
I refuse to take Tank back to the shelter as we love him very much and Louis – our dog – has bonded with him as though Tank is one of his litter-mates. But my sanity and my nose are suffering. When we have people over you can hear us often say "that was not me!" I smile while I type this but I assure you this is no joke. If you are a cat owner and you happen to read this post please share your kitty-wisdom with me. Many thanks for any suggestions you may have. One final note on Tank, he is putting on weight and in general seems very healthy. I leave you with a video of Tank & Louis at play:

The NFL announced on Tuesday that Sean Payton's season-long suspension for his role in the bounty scandal was over. He presumably spent Wednesday moving all his desk tchotchkes back into his office. Today he fired defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and secondary coach Ken Flajole.
"I personally want to thank Steve and Ken for their contributions during what was an unprecedented 2012 season," Payton said in a statement. "Philosophically we are changing our defense to a 3-4 alignment and right now is the best time to accomplish this transition."
The switch to a 3-4 may be true, but it's also good cover for "this defense was an abortion." Like, historically bad. (If you Google "Saints defense," you get a November Bleacher Report article on how the Saints were winning with defense. So.)
Maybe the slackers and layabouts thought they could get away with giving up the most yards of any team ever since the big boss was away. But Sean Payton's always watching, and waiting, and caressing pink slips. He said yesterday the defense "keeps [him] up at night." Sleep well, coach.

Despite Christ-like parallells and overwrought action scenes, this Superman is a fun action romp
Krypton's advanced society is about to go extinct, doomed by bad environmental choices. As the planet falls apart, Jor-El (Russell Crowe: Broken City) and his wife Lara (Ayelet Zurer: Touch) conclude the only hope for the people of Krypton is sending their son Kal to a new world with the genetic information of every one of the planet's citizens. They settle on Earth, hoping their son will lead this new world to greatness and avoid the mistakes that killed Krypton.
Kal's ship crashed in Kansas, where the Kent family (Kevin Costner and Diane Lane) adopt the alien baby and raise it as their own. Though the Kents devote themselves to their little boy, now renamed Clark, the child has a lot to overcome. He's super strong, overly sensitive and hard to control. He's also an alien being from another planet. Afraid that the government or an angry mob will take Clark from them if his otherworldly secret is discovered, Ma and Pa Kent encourage Clark to hide his abilities and pass for normal.
A grown Clark (Henry Cavill: The Cold Light of Day) hides in plain sight, taking menial jobs and looking for the truth about his origin. He can't help but save people when disaster strikes, which makes his secret hard to keep.
Clark's hand is forced when Kryptonian military leader General Zod (Michael Shannon: Mud) breaks free from space jail, wanting to rebuild Krypton from the genetic key sent with Kal to Earth. If Clark surrenders himself and the genetic material, Zod promises to spare humanity.
Seems like a trustworthy deal, right?
Will Clark kneel before Zod? Is humanity worth the sacrifice?
Let's be honest: Superman was never the most dynamic of heroes. Cavill is handsome, earnest and fit, which is all the part of Superman requires. He makes an excellent paragon of virtue, though his performance won't be shown in any acting classes.
In Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder (Suckerpunch) does nothing to change the hero's goody-two-shoes persona. A smarter director might have drawn parallels between Clark and illegal immigrants, but Snyder had a loftier parallel in mind. Barely a scene goes by without some sort of Jesus imagery: in the background of emotional scenes, woven into Clark's dialog about self-sacrifice or repeated in images of Clark's arms spread wide like Christ on the cross.
Though Snyder's obvious direction and overwrought action sequences drag his film down, he made two brilliant choices: He allowed humanity to play a part in its own salvation. Instead of standing gape-mouthed while Superman does the heavy lifting, non-super-powered heroes shine. As does Michael Shannon. With wide eyes and snarling conviction, he is the perfect foil to menace Cavill's Jesus-like hero.
Man of Steel isn't bulletproof, but it's a fun action romp.

I am home from the Tomorrow 2012 edition of the Presidential Conference in Jerusalem that came to a close last night. I'll have some reflections on the conference when I have finished posting the videos of the speakers whom I caught up with this week.
Yesterday former Israeli Ambassador to the UN Dore Gold addressed a large audience as part of a panel on the American presidential election in November. As you might imagine, the election is a matter of some interest in Israel.
On our 2007 bloggers' tour of Israel in the summer of 2007, tour leader Fern Oppenheim invited Ambassador Gold to meet up with us; he drove from Jerusalem to meet us over pizza late one night at the end of a long day at our hotel in Tel Aviv. At that time he was talking about his new book, The Fight For Jerusalem. He could not have been more generous with his time or comments.
I tackled Ambassador Gold on his way into the panel yesterday afternoon to ask if he would meet me for a short video afterwards. Ambassador Gold is the president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs; he wanted to talk about the center's just-published paper by Lt. Col. (ret.) Michael Segall, "The role of Iranian security forces in the Syrian bloodshed." The paper is hot off the press and obviously could not be more timely. Please check out the paper and the video.

3D bioprinting is a process of creating spatially-controlled cell pattPC/Mac Gamer and PC/Mac Gaming Peripheral Marketerns in 3D, where viability and cell function are conserved within printed construct. The 3D bioprinting industry that is currently at the embryonic stage of generating replacement human tissue has been forecast to be worth billion dollars by 2019. 3D bioprinting at present largely involves the creation of simple tissue structures in lab settings, but is estimated to be scaled up to involve the creation of complete organs for transplants. This technology is expected to be used for more speedy and accurate drug testing, as potential drug compounds could be tested on bioprinted tissue before human trials commenced.
3D bioprinting is steadily emerging as an area that is gathering attention from a lot of academicians. Some of the researchers have recently opened start-up firms with aim of commercializing the technology in coming years. A number of start-ups have recently sprung up to build up products based on bioprinting. Some are spin outs from university research. For examples, Aspect Biosystems focused on printing tissue models for toxicity testing TeViDo BioDevices focused on printing breast tissue and SkinPrint focused on developing human skin. The market of 3D bioprinting particularly focuses on the commercial bioprinters and those under development, their applications and the expected future evolution. It is widely predictable that the 3D bioprinting market has great potential. It requires biocompatible materials (bio-ink and bio-paper), software (CAD), hardware (bioprinters); each has the capability to grow into separate niche industries.
The market at present has 14 industry sponsored bioprinters, focused on variety of commercial applications. The widen supply-demand gap for organ transplants is an unmet need; the ultimate goal of researchers is to be able to create bioprinted organs for organ transplants. The focus of this market is expected to shift from research to commercialization. At this stage, the applications such as tissue engineering (skin and cartilage) and drug testing (skin and cartilage) are expected to be popular.
Request for Report Sample : https://www.persistencemarketresearch.com/samples/3255
In coming years, 3D bioprinting to be a multi-billion dollar industry owning to early success of bioprinted organ transplants is expected to offer additional boost in subsequent years. The next generation of bioprinters is to offer additional features such as multiple arms and is expected to be comparatively more affordable driving wider adoption. Aspect Biosystems would dramatically cut the cost and time it takes to develop and test the drugs leading to cures for presently incurable diseases and cheaper treatment options. The companies in bioprinting market include SkinPrint that is developing a replacement skin for the burns patients or for those suffering from skin disorders. Aspect Biosystems that is developing printed tissue for drug testing.
Some of the major players for 3D bioprinting market are Advanced Biomatrix, 3D Biotek, 3D Systems, Avita Medical, Bespoke Innovations, Autodesk, EnvisionTEC, Cyfuse Biomedical, CMC Microsystems, Digilab, United Therapeutics, TeVido BioDevices, DTM, Bio3D Technologies, Helisys Inc. CMC Microsystems, InSphero AG and BD Biosciences among others.

Max's Spectacularly Unhelpful Book Review, or: My 7,000 Pages of Shame
Now what we're going to do is ignore the whole "What the Fukk is happening to Max's new book?" question. Because it's going to take some time to resolve, and me posting regular updates on my blog is going to freak everybody concerned right out, and for my own mental health I should probably start thinking about something else.
But thanks to everyone who wrote in with kind words. That means a lot. I'm sure this book will be published. It's a good book. You'll like it. The question is not if, but when and how.
So instead of alternating between maniacal cackling and weeping into my sleeve, I will write you a book review. This review is not of books I've read. That would be Helpful, because I could tell you if they were any good. This is an Unhelpful review, because all I'm going to say is how these books got onto my bedside table, where they have sat, neglected, as centuries turned.
On top is "Maisy Likes Driving" by Lucy Cousins. Fin brought this in one morning and wanted to read it. So I have actually read this one. It's about 6 pages long and has pictures of Maisy driving things, which she enjoys. I can recommend it if you're into Maisy and like to know everything that happens in a book from the title and are aged two.
Next is "Unpolished Gem" by Alice Pung. I met Alice at a writers' festival and everyone said her book was good. Alice herself is so polite and smart and cute that I want to take her aside and say, "Stop that. You're making the rest of us look bad."
"American Hoax" by Charles Firth. This I also picked up at the Sydney Writers Festival. Charles and I did a panel together, and afterward he bought my book and asked me to sign it, so I was forced to buy his, even though he was a complete tosspot. I say that because I know that's the type of humor he'll appreciate. Actually Charles I liked a lot, even though he's not as polite and cute as Alice Pung. His book is a satire on… well, America, I guess. I haven't read it.
"Phineas Poe" by Wil Christopher Baer. I keep seeing Baer's name pop up in connection with mine on places like Amazon. If that was enough to get me to buy something, I'd own a copy of this, but Baer came recommended, so I bought this collection of three novels. Unfortunately I discovered that it's so heavy I can't read it in bed without breaking the bones in my wrist. I got about four pages in and needed a rest. I think I might relocate Phineas to the bathroom.
"The Contortionist's Handbook" by Craig Clevenger. Actually, I have read this one. That shouldn't be there. I liked it a lot, although not as much as "Dermaphoria." This puts me firmly in the minority of Clevenger fans, though, so you shouldn't trust what I say. See? Still Unhelpful.
"The Art of Funerary Violin" by Rohan Kriwaczek. My Aussie publisher, Scribe, gave this to me, telling me it was hilarious. I thought it was a novel, but on closer inspection it really does appear to be about funerary violins. And I'm really not sure how hilarious that can be.
"The Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. In LAX, about to board my flight to Melbourne after my 2007 American book tour, I had some leftover cash, and bought this because it's meant to be good. I dunno, though. It looks very literary, and the problem with literary books is that if you don't like them, you can't even extract minor enjoyment out of the gratuitous sex and violence. You just have to sit there and wade through mind-numbing wave after wave of symbolism, eloquence, and character development. I hate that.
"Third Class Superhero" by Charles Yu. I think I got asked to give a quote for this. It's a short story collection. I liked the first story, then got distracted and never finished it. They sent me a second copy, perhaps thinking the first had gotten lost, and this bumped it right up to the top of my pile, but unfortunately just before I left on tour, and returned with Life of Pi.
"Einstein Never Used Flash Cards" by Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Roberta Michnick Golinkoff. This was very kindly given to me at a 2006 reading I did in Mountain View, CA, in by a guy named Peter, who thought I needed some parenting advice. Now that I think about it, that's kind of insulting. Anyway, I read a little, but then Jen stole it. I recently got it back, which is why it's relatively close to the top of the pile.
"Heyday" by Kurt Anderson. The bookstore I read at in Phoenix, AZ, offered me a book for my trouble, and I chose this because I liked "Turn of the Century." In retrospect, it was clearly the most expensive book in the store. I may not be invited back to Phoenix.
"Persuasion & Healing" by Jerome D. Frank and Julia B. Frank. I read half of this as research for my latest novel. It's an overview of modern psychotherapy. It's written by a father and daughter, which must have been interesting. Imagine arguments in that house.
"The Sleepers Almanac 2007." A short-story collection. Apparently one of my stories will be published in this next year, so the publisher sent me this to help me figure out if that's a good thing.
"Prodigal" by Marc D. Giller. A sequel to his very good first novel, "Hammerjack," which arrived just before a particularly busy time and got hammered down in the pile before I could read it.
"The Cubicle Survival Guide" by James F. Thompson. I have no idea where this came from.
"Alien Sex in Silicon Valley" by Dave Alber. The author gave me this at a reading in 2006. I think he was self-publishing. I read the first chapter and quite liked it and then got distracted. This book is now so far down the list I will never reach it. If only I had stayed with it, I might have loved it, given a rave quote for the cover, and helped it become a national bestseller, thus changing Dave's life forever. Although probably not, since I raved about Paul Neilan's Apathy and Other Small Victories, and did that become a bestseller? Shockingly, no. That's out in paperback now, by the way. If you respect me at all, you'll go buy it.
"Raga Six" by Frank Laura. Frank is my media escort in San Francisco. He gave me this book in 2006 and I hadn't gotten to it by the time I went back there a year later. I wasn't sure which was worse: to admit this, or to say nothing and have him think I hated it. I went with saying nothing.
"Pendulum" by Nathan Provence. Pretty sure this is another self-published book given to me by an enterprising author who came up to me at a reading, although I'm not sure which year. By now it has been crushed for so long under the weight of other books that all its pages have fused together.
The one I'm actually reading is "The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil" by George Saunders. I'd never heard of this book or the author before, but I saw it in a bookstore last week and liked the first page. I started reading it because my wrists were aching from attempting Phineas Poe. That's my system, you see: last in, first out. It makes no logical sense, but has the advantage of being easy. I use the same system for my email. Anyway, I'm really loving this book so far. It's fantastic. So if you made it this far, there you go: that's a little helpful.
By the way, in the course of writing this review, I moved the books to see what was on the bottom, and the pile fell on me. I nearly died.
