Kortun Kennels News
Click here to see puppies for sale!
This little guy is looking for a home.
Willow's litter is now posted - Click here to see puppies!
Willow's litter is ready to go home Dec. 19th 2014 - Just in time for Christmas !
Read this before buying a puppy !
Picking a breeder - does your breeder offer this?
Kortun Kennels takes every step to ensure we are doing the best for our bloodlines. All legal business requirements and most of all creating a reputable kennel to find your next family member.
When visiting other breeders ask to see their certificates and prove they are what they say they are! Ask to see their kennel registration with their township and SPCA inspection pass certificates. If they can't prove it they are not a quality breeder and are likely not in it for the dogs.
Puppy News !
Click this link (CDC USA) The CDC has made strict restrictions for all dogs crossing the border into the USA. All dogs must have their vacination including rabies before crossing the border. This means no dog may cross the border until at least 4 months.
With this, Kortun Kennels will continue to ship outside of Canada, but not into the USA until the CDC policy is changed.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to visit Kortun Kennels website!
We are breeders of Portuguese Water Dogs, located in Millbrook, Ontario Canada. Portuguese Water Dogs are purebred, non-shedding, hypo-allergenic and are a medium breed. We have been breeding Portuguese Water Dogs with our family since 2002. We started this website to get more exposure to our kennel and the portuguese Water Dog breed. The Portuguese Water Dog is recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club and the American Kennel Club. We truly believe Portuguese Water Dogs are easily one of the best family pets.
We are a registered kennel with our township, the Canadian Kennel Club both as a breeder and a registered kennel. Most breeders only register their puppies we have gone the extra step to show we are a great kennel by registering our kennel with the Canadian Kennel Club as well. The SPCA completes annual inspections of our home where we have our breeding stock and our puppies. Kortun Kennels is a registered business which means we are not a fly by night breeder. We work hard to be the best kennel experience you will have and feel confident in your decision to join the Kortun Kennels family.
All of Kortun Kennels Portuguese Water Dog breeding stock are all tested for GM1, PRA and OFA approved.
All of our puppies go home with Canadian Kennel Club approved serial coded micro-chipped, first shots, full veterinarian checkup and we also have a 2 year guarantee of Hip Dysplasia, GM1 and PRA. The Serial coded microchip allows veterinarians and animal shelters to scan a lost animal which contains information such as home location, dogs name and your contact information. The information on the chip is kept with the Canadian Kennel Club and the manufacturer of the chips. The chip does not require batteries and is no danger to your pet.
Portuguese Water Dogs being hypo-allergenic and non-shedding are very beneficial to allergy suffering families. Families that have had "fur" coated pets know the amount of cleaning required to keep fur from collecting on the floor, clothing, furniture etc. Portuguese Water Dogs shed like humans, which means a very minimal cleaning.
All Portuguese Water Dogs are sold on a non-breeding contract with Kortun Kennels and the Canadian Kennel Club.
Kortun Kennels has shipped all across Canada, the USA and other international locations.

Ioquake3 Works On Finally Switching Over To SDL2
Published on 26 August 2014 12:09 AM EDT

The ioquake3 open-source game engine derived from the id Tech 3 code-base is working to finally switch over to using SDL2 and ditching the old SDL 1.2 support.
Most modern Linux games are now using
Simple DirectMedia Layer 2
while ioquake3 is finally preparing to make the official jump to SDL2 from SDL 1.2. The ioquake3 developers are hoping for Linux gamers to test their updated Q3A builds to see how the port to the updated library is panning out. The many games derived from the ioquake3 engine will also need to (ideally) pull in the updated code and release new updates.
The SDL2 transition was announced on Monday at
. Sadly there's nothing new to report at this time on
, the open-source engine fork of the more modern id Tech 4 engine.

text: Zig-a-zig-ha! The Spice Girls are back! The girls took the stage, for the first time in forever, at last night's Victoria's Secret fashion show. Gossip monger Perez Hilton was there, and wrote this review on the performance: It was great to see Emma, Geri, Mel B., Victoria and Melanie C. together on stage again. Overall, their two-song performance was good fun. We were, however, disappointed that they were totally lip-synching. Both songs. The girls' first song was the best of their set. They did a spirited, lip-synched rendition of their classic "Stop", dressed in a military theme and with some great male dancers. After the ladies finished their first song they gave each other a big hug and breathed a sigh of relief. Not too shabby - despite the lip-synching - for their first time out in years. Their second song, current single "Headlines", didn't fare as well. Though it was a ballad and required no dancing, they lip-synched this one as well. Unfortunately, they didn't have the boys or choreography to make this song as compelling. They kinda just stood their in their gowns just pouting throughout the entire performance of "Headlines" - like mannequins. Having said that, they did look AMAZING, although we don't think any of their outfits were made by Victoria's Secret. If you are planning to go see the Spice Girls in concert, just go in expecting them to lip-synch. If they do, then you won't be disappointed. And if they actually sing live, then it will be a special treat! Do people really go to see them for the singing? I don't think so. Why do they go see the girls in concert, then? You got me.

Original spelling is Drollinger in church books in Ellmendingen which begin 1618. Wendelin was a Judge for the Crown Prince of Baden. The Droellinger is a mispelling. There is also a wine grape known as Trollinger which is a red grape and produces a wine similar in taste to a chianti. This would lend some anecdotal evidence to the belief that the name was originally Tyroliger or Tiroliger, literally man from Tyrol. This evolved to Trollinger and then to Drollinger.The most famed of the name was Karl Friedrich Drollinger 1688 1745 who was a poet, historian and judge for the Crown Prince of Baden and followed him into exile when the French invaded. His portrait hangs in the University of Basel Switzerland.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Major Asian stock markets ended mostly higher Monday as investors reacted to better-than-expected U.S. employment figures and upbeat data over the weekend on the Chinese economy, with Shanghai-listed shares leading the way.
The Shanghai Composite Index 000001, +9.99% jumped 1.1% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index HSI, -0.07% gained 0.3%, while Japan's Nikkei Stock Average NIK, +1.23% and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index XJO, -1.63% each inched up 0.1%.
South Korea's Kospi SEU, -0.07% ended little changed, while Taiwan's Taiex Y9999, +0.24% fell 0.4%.
A rising power in Chinese art
In less than seven years, Poly Auction has become a major player in the art world.
Broadly, investors were picking up on higher-than-anticipated U.S. employment figures for November, out Friday, and a slew of stronger Chinese data released Sunday — including industrial production and retail sales figures. Read: China's economy strengthens in November.
That data fed into optimism that world economies can grow at moderate levels next year "if confidence can be maintained by a reasonable outcome on the U.S. fiscal policy negotiations," said Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets.
"The political situation in Italy may temper this confidence, though. The prospect of an election next year being fought on the issue of fiscal policy will be unsettling for bond and equity markets," Spooner said, referring to news that Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti may step down. Read: Italy's Monti plans to resign by year's end.
Chinese trade data out Monday caused a brief wobble, as the country's exports slowed to 2.9% year-on-year in November, well below the 11.6% increase in October and the 9.6% rise tipped in a Dow Jones Newswires survey of economists. Read: China trade surplus, exports growth disappoint.
Chinese property and resource stocks posted strong gains in Hong Kong, with China Resources Land Ltd. 1109, +2.51% CRBJF, +3.52% climbing 2.1% and Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. ACH, -2.02% 2600, +0.30% climbing 1.5%.
Oil major Cnooc Ltd. 0883, -5.50% CEO, -6.99% climbed 1.1% after Canadian authorities on Friday approved its $15.1 billion proposed buyout of Canada's Nexen Inc. US:NXY CA:NXY Read: Cnooc-Nexen deal may spur more China energy M&A.
Iron-ore producer Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. FMG, +2.80% FSUMF, +3.77% FSUMF, +3.77% rallied 6.9% in Sydney after the firm said it's in talks to sell a part of its shareholding in the Nullagine iron-ore mine to joint-venture partner BC Iron Ltd. BCI, -1.79%
Trade in shares of BC Iron was on a temporary halt in Sydney. Read: Fortescue talks with BC Iron on Nullagine JV sale.
Economic data out Monday showed Japan's current-account surplus widened in October. Final data also showed the country's gross domestic product contracted 0.9% in the third quarter, unrevised from an initial estimate. The GDP data implies Japan is in a so-called technical recession. Read: Japan leaves July-Sept. GDP unrevised at 0.9% drop.
The data saw the yen extend a recent bout of weakness, with the dollar USDJPY, +0.78% reaching 82.32 yen.
Among the notable gainers in Tokyo, Advantest Corp. 6857, +1.65% ADTTF, -23.34% gained 3.9%, with the firm expecting that its sales may rise 20% this quarter from the previous quarter, according to a Bloomberg report.
Citizen Holdings Co. 7762, +1.32% CHCLY, +1.90% rose 0.5%, and chip maker Renesas Electronics Corp. 6723, +0.74% RNECY, -14.54% climbed 3%.
Panasonic Corp. 6752, +1.29% US:PC fell 0.7% amid reports it planned to sell off some of its real-estate assets, including a Kyodo News account that its Panasonic Tokyo Shiodome office tower may be for sale.
Sharp Corp. 6753, +1.07% SHCAF, -0.82% pared its December gains to 18.6%, as it fell 5.6% Monday.
Amid concerns about Europe, financials lost ground, with Nomura Holdings Inc. 8604, +0.78% NMR, -0.50% dropping 2.3% and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. 8306, +2.40% MTU, +0.70% losing 1%.
Financials also edged lower in South Korea, where KB Financial Group Inc. 105560, -0.77% KB, -4.14% lost 0.6% and Hana Financial Group Inc. 086790, -1.02% dropped 0.9%.
Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor Co. 005380, -0.83% HYMTF, -3.12% advanced 0.7%, and heavyweight technology major Samsung Electronics Co. 005930, +1.82% SSNLF, -1.91% rose 0.7%.

Where did Dorian Gray keep his picture?
He kept it in several places throughout the book. At first, it was greatly admired and he loved to look at the perfection of it, and he kept it in public. But as it bega…n to change, he hid it away so that no one could see it, covered up in a locked room. (MORE)
In the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray what was dorian poisoned by?
Dorian was poisoned by a yellow book called 'A Rebours' by Joris-Karl Huysmans from 1884, also known as 'The Bible of Decadence'. However, Dorian was already poisoned by the w…ords and the manipulation of Lord Henry Wotton in the beginning of the book when he tells him to live his life to fullest while still young and beautiful disregarding all costs and consequences.

How does sybil change in the picture of dorian gray?
When Dorian first sees Sybil Vane, she is an actress on stage - she is an art; however, when Dorian and Sybil meet, and Dorian confesses his love to her, something in Sybil ch…anges. Her change can be undoubtedly be seen in chapter seven, when she performs on stage in as Juliet, the play in which Dorian and Lord Henry go to see. Sybil exhibits none of the poise, skill, emotion, or grace as she had before. Instead, she "showed no sign of joy when her eyes rested on Romeo" and "the staginess of her acting grew worse as she went on. Her gestures became absurdly artificial" (87). Sybil is no longer an actress; she is no longer an art. She no longer sees herself as only an actress in life. Now, she has committed herself to reality, and Dorian is furious. Dorian only loved the art in Sybil because Dorian himself is an art, and his painting is his reality. After the show, Dorian tells Sybil in an outrage that "you have killed my love" (91). The next morning, despite Dorian's changed state of mind to write Sybil an apology letter, he hears news that Sybil has died by probable suicide. (MORE)

Fordham Football Blows Out Georgetown
The #7/8 Fordham football team blew out the Georgetown Hoyas 52-7 on senior day to win the Patriot League Championship outright.
Listener Supported Public Media from Fordham University
The #7/8 Fordham football team blew out the Georgetown Hoyas 52-7 on senior day to win the Patriot League Championship outright.
Fordham defeated to Bucknell 30-27 in overtime to clinch the Patriot League title and an automatic bid in the FCS playoffs.
Michael Nebrich threw for six touchdowns, Chase Edmonds passed the 1,000 yard plateau for the season, nine Rams scored points, and Sam Ajala and Tebucky Jones, Jr. finished near 200 yards receiving in a 60-22 Fordham (6-1) drubbing of Penn (0-4).
Fordham officially won their Patriot League opener for the first time since the conference championship winning season in 2007 in their first game that counted in the Patriot League since November 2009.
Patrick Murray is the single best place kicker to suit up on Fordham's Rose Hill campus. He is the best punter too. And now he is the newest member of Fordham's exclusive NFL club.
With the upcoming athletics seasons drawing nearer, WFUV's Mike Watts spoke with Fordham Athletic Director David Roach on One on One. During the interview, Roach talks about the recent renovations to Jack Coffey Field, the future of Fordham Football, and the current state of various varsity programs.
To listen to the interview, please click on the links below.
It has been documented just how successful Fordham football was last year en route to a school record 12 win season. The Sports Network's first look at 2014 is equally exciting. The Sports Network announced five Rams earned preseason All-American status.
Fordham lost a tough one on Saturday night by a final score of 82-70 against the Richmond Spiders. After falling behind 6-0 at the beginning of the game, the Rams surged back with the stellar play of Freshman Jon Severe and Senior Brandon Frazier.
The Rams were down by just 7 points at half time after Frazier went one for two from the foul line with 3 seconds on the clock. It was a back and forth game throughout the second half with Fordham getting to within single digits a couple times but never taking the lead.
The Fordham football team had to decline their invitation to the 1942 Rose Bowl because they previously had accepted an invite to the Sugar Bowl. 74 years later Fordham arrived in Pasadena in the person of two noted alums.
Entering the Rams' second matchup of the season against the Saint Joseph's Hawks, the Fordham Rams had a lot of hope. In their first matchup with the Hawks this season, Fordham played them incredibly close and were a few missed free throws and turnovers away from coming out with a win. Saint Joe's won that first matchup 66-62. The second time around was not nearly as close, as the Hawks cruised to an 82-56 victory.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
NDP turns page on turning other cheek
'My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic."
Those were the late NDP leader Jack Layton's last words to Canadians before his death on Aug. 22, 2011. They galvanized his party, moved many Canadians to tears and earned him a lasting place in Canada's political pantheon.
Related Items
But in Toronto on Saturday, facing the most ruthless and polarizing government in Canadian history, Canada's Official opposition turned the page on turning the other cheek.
With former Quebec Liberal cabinet minister Thomas Mulcair as their new leader, they're going back to Parliament this week with their elbows up -- and sharpened. If Stephen Harper's Conservatives want nasty, they'll get nasty.
"Let's just say I've never been shy about going into the corners and I usually come out with the puck," Mulcair told The Canadian Press.
It may not be pretty. It may turn even more Canadians off politics, at least in the short term. But it will level the playing field. Finally, Canadians will have an Official opposition that won't, in the words of political columnist Susan Riley, be mere "puppy chow for Harper's front-bench attack dogs... Like it or not, we get two angry men -- one icy and vindictive, the other hot-headed and ungiving -- facing off across the Commons aisle."
Mulcair brings proud Quebec ancestry to the NDP. His great-great grandfather, Honore Mercier, was Quebec's ninth premier, from 1887 to 1891. A Liberal, Mercier opposed the execution of Louis Riel and initiated the idea of interprovincial conferences in 1887. He was also the first Quebec premier to defend the principle of provincial autonomy, campaigning to abolish the federal government's claimed right to veto provincial legislation.
Could this historic Liberal pedigree prompt a resolution to the ongoing debate over a merger or accommodation between Liberals and New Democrats? That elephant looms ever larger in Canada's political room, occupied as it is by three, if not four, political parties who compete, election after election, against each other for the two-thirds of voters on the centre-left.
The NDP's choice of former Quebec Liberal Mulcair highlights a mirror image -- former Ontario New Democrat Bob Rae's leadership of the federal Liberals.
In politics, as in life, there is no more bitter feud than a blood feud. Just ask the Conservatives. They spent 13 years between 1993 and 2006 watching the Liberals win three consecutive majority governments and one minority while the Progressive Conservatives and the Reform party then Canadian Alliance ritually poked each other in the eye.
Then the political tables turned. The two parties on the right buried the hatchet, joined under the banner of the Conservative party in 2004 and chose former Reform MP Stephen Harper as their leader. Two years later, the Harperites defeated a disgraced and decimated Liberal party under Paul Martin.
Since 2006, disunity among the Liberals, New Democrats, Greens and Bloc Quebecois on the centre-left has bestowed the same split-opposition gift that keeps on giving to the Harperites. The latter have won two minorities and now hold a majority, guaranteeing them government at least until 2015. Their run could extend indefinitely if the progressive majority in Canada stays fragmented.
Mulcair has ruled out outright merger with the Liberals. "It's absolutely not in the cards," he told the CBC Saturday. His approach is absorption. Here's a selection from his victory speech Saturday:
"It order to win the next election and to have our first NDP government, our party must reach beyond it's traditional base and unite all progressive forces under the NDP's banner... As we unite our party to take on a government that is dismantling the very institutions that we hold dear, we will do so without excluding or demonizing those who disagree with us. We will unite progressives, we will unite our country and together we will work towards a more just and better world."
It is significant that Mulcair is not alone in his pledge to challenge centre-left fragmentation. His runner-up, Brian Topp, was one of the key players in the aborted attempt to forge a coalition between the Liberals and the New Democrats in 2008 over the Harper budget. Topp repeatedly pledged to work towards uniting progressives across the political spectrum.
Third-place finisher Nathan Cullen made his proposal for joint nominating meetings among Liberals, New Democrats and Greens a platform plank. The NDP, he said, should not hesitate to tell voters it would be prepared to form a coalition government in the next Parliament.
With a Liberal leading the NDP and a New Democrat leading the Liberals, the progressive majority of Canadians awaits developments.

Why does this happen? The age is special, the religion you are born into is special, the master you follow is special - the greatest in the world. The book you believe in is written by God himself, not by ordinary human beings. Everything that belongs to you is special - this is how the ego is helped, supported; these are the props.
The country you are born in is special. If you are an Indian, then the country is sacred. If you are English then you know well that you are the best in the world. If you are French, the same.
This happens; and this is such a cunning method that you will not be aware of what you are doing to yourself: making your religion special, you become special. It is not that Christianity is special, in fact it is you who is so special! Because of you Christianity appears to be special. It is not India that is a sacred land, it is because of you, you are so religious! So sacred is your being! Because of you the whole of India becomes a religious country, special. Wherever you were born, the same would have happened. If you had been born in Holland, or in China, the same would have happened.
Try to see into it. The world is always either ordinary or extraordinary, because there is no point in saying that it is always extraordinary, that doesn't make any difference. If there are ordinary moments then only can some moments be extraordinary. So you can either say that the world is always ordinary, the time ordinary, the country, the religion, everything - or you can say it is always extraordinary, it is the same. because then there is nothing to compare with, to contrast with. And by and by, if you drop these props, suddenly you will disappear. Your country ordinary? Then you cannot walk so heartily as you used to walk. Your language ordinary? Then you will hesitate a little. If everything is ordinary: your birth, your family, this and that, then how can you help the ego to be strong? All props withdrawn - ego falls to the ground.
These are very subtle tricks.
I have heard about a professor, a professor of philosophy at the University of Paris. One day suddenly he told his students: "I am the greatest man in the world!" They could not believe it! This ordinary professor - and at that too, not a professor of physics but of philosophy; nobody comes to study even, rarely, some mad people come, and nobody bothers about his Department, the most neglected in the University, and he is the greatest man in the world? They laughed. They said, "We have always heard that philosophers are a little eccentric, but now you prove it. You are the greatest man in the world? Then what about Richard Nixon? And Mao Zedong? And Indira Gandhi? What about these people?"
He said, "Wait! Whenever I say something I prove it, I am a logician. I will prove it. I have a proof, unless I had a proof I would never make such a statement."

- light-addressable potentiometric sensor
Light-addressable potentiometric sensors (LAPS) are semiconductor-based potentiometric sensors, with the advantage to detect the concentration of a chemical species in a liquid solution above the sensor surface in a spatially resolved manner. The addressing is achieved by a modulated and focused light source illuminating the semiconductor and generating a concentration-depending photocurrent. This work introduces a LAPS set-up that is able to monitor the electrical impedance in addition to the photocurrent. The impedance spectra of a LAPS structure, with and without illumination, as well as the frequency behaviour of the LAPS measurement are investigated. The measurements are supported by electrical equivalent circuits to explain the impedance and the LAPS-frequency behaviour. The work investigates the influence of different parameters on the frequency behaviour of the LAPS. Furthermore, the phase shift of the photocurrent, the influence of the surface potential as well as the changes of the sensor impedance will be discussed.

I think having a poet laureate would liven up things and people would look foward to hearing the new poem written for the current special event. The person would become a special and anticipated guest.

Honors e-EditionNow AvailableFor more informationclick here THE CITY REBORN FROM THE ASHES OF AMERICA'S MOST DISASTROUS FOREST FIRE Hall Of Fame Football Honors For Tim Stauss Generally speaking, induction into the Hall of Fame for anything should be a prime opportunity, even for the most humble of personalities, to maybe let the ego inflate a little bit, to take some pride in what one has accomplished. For Marinette's Tim Stauss, who will this Saturday become a member of the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame honoring his years spent as an assistant coach with the Marinette Marines, the long journey that led him to such an honor didn't have a lot to do with ego, at any point along the way. Rather, the 30 or so year journey that led Stauss to Hall of Fame recognition always stemmed from a genuine desire to be a positive contributor in the lives of young people. "It wasn't just the winning football games that did it for me," said Stauss. "After awhile, it became clear to me that we've got some great kids that live here in this community and what a gift it was to be around youth football and to hopefully have a positive influence." A southern Wisconsin boy born and bred in the small farm town of Jefferson, Stauss was recruited to play football at Northern Michigan University following high school. It was on the five and a half hour drive through the entirety of Wisconsin's eastern region and into the great Upper Peninsula that Stauss began to fall in love with the community he would eventually make a difference in. "It's funny because, driving up to school, to summer ball, I used to say 'Wow. I really love the Marinette/Menominee area.' said Stauss. "I always thought it was a neat place." After four years of playing football in the Mariucci-era at NMU and graduation in 1980, Stauss took a job in the banking industry in Green Bay. What he didn't know at the time was that the man who recruited him to play at NMU, Joel Hanner, a name familiar to the Peshtigo sports scene, was coaching right down the road in DePere. After a funny re-connecting of the two old associates one day, a reunion that involved Hanner, hiding in a row of bushes at a fast pitch softball game, pelting a completely unsuspecting Stauss with rocks, Hanner asked his one-time-NMU recruit to come and help out in DePere as an assistant. About a month after that first season in DePere, Stauss and his wife, Connie, went out to dinner with the Hanners. It was at that dinner that Hanner informed Stauss of his plan to take the head football coaching position at Marinette High. "Honest to God, I thought he was joking," laughs Stauss. "Because just that morning, I had accepted a job opportunity to start a branch up there. I had no idea. I actually thought he had found out and was just joking around. Turns out, we both thought the other was joking around. Meanwhile, both of our wives had been talking and at one point, they just sort of both looked at us and we all realized together that we were all going to be moving to Marinette." You couldn't have scripted that episode over Friday night at dinner to happen any better than he tells it. And what flourished from that table's worth of Wisconsin families sitting around discussing future plans would touch lives in this area for many years to follow. There has to be a million clichťd questions to ask a person who has spent his or her life working with youth in sports. One of the best ones out there is "How special is the feeling of having a kid come to you, say four years after graduating high school, and tell you that you made a difference in how they turned out." Stauss' answer to the question is profound and deserves to be retold here in its entirety to close this story. "It means the world. It means absolutely everything," said an emphatic Stauss. "It means that everything good and right about the profession you are in at the time was exactly where you were supposed to be. In that exact grain of sand, in the big picture of time, of foreverness, you landed in the right spot. It gives a ton of validation. Holy cow, I was right to do this. Ive made a difference in someone's life. In many times, when you're looking back, that's a sentiment that can bring a tear to your eye. Hearing those words from someone you were trying to be a positive influence for, it hits you like a sledgehammer to the heart."

One of four people charged with beating and leaving a 40-year-old man in the woods to die in Forest County is asking to change his plea.
Monday, during a pretrial conference 21-year-old Justin Bey asked to withdrawal his not guilty plea in exchange for a not guilty by mental disease or defect plea. The judge ruled in favor of the motions. Bey is expected to undergo a competency examination.
If convicted in Wisconsin of an NGI plea, in lieu of criminal sentence or probation, the defendant will be committed to the custody of the department of health services and will be placed in an appropriate institution unless the court determines that the defendant would not pose a danger to himself or herself or to others if released under conditions ordered by the court.
Bey along with Raymond Jones, 45; April Jones, 38, and Samantha McClellan, 18; are charged with attempted first degree reckless homicide, false imprisonment and causing mental harm to a child.
According to the criminal complaint, two people were riding ATVs northeast of Crandon near Bug Lake on March 12 when they thought they saw a suitcase on the trail. As they got closer they saw a man laying on the trail covered in blood. The men told investigators they thought the man was dead, but as they checked on him he started speaking.
The men loaded the man on the back of their ATV and transported him to a nearby business to call 911.
According to medical personal at a Marshfield hospital, the man suffered multiple fractures to his head and face, a broken jaw, and two broken ribs. They also said the man was suffering serious frost bite all over his body.
Raymond Jones and Justin Bey remain in custody on $100,000 cash bonds. April Jones is behind bars on a $1,000 cash bond. Sam McClellan is free after posting $25,000 cash bond.
A judge has already determined there is enough evidence for the cases to head to trial.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We didn't buy our other wedding stationery from here, but when looking for nice Thank You cards, we wanted something specific - purple & butterflies. Wedding Paper Divas had just the card. This card was well-represented online and exceeded our expectations in person. The cardstock feels very high quality, and there was no fading or blank spots in the printing, which added to the high quality feel. The blank space inside the card allowed plenty of room for personal notes, and our guests were impressed with the look and feel of the notes."
"I'm a naturalist, so these butterflies fit beautifully for my invitations, reply cards and thank you notes. The plum was colorful without being too bold. The font was lovely and appropriate. I was sent the proofs quickly and had to double check them, therefore the results were perfect."
"Received our Thank You notes almost a week before the expected delivery date! They turned out beautiful and the Wedding Paper Divas team worked with us to personalize the font and colors of the card. Very happy with the outcome!"
"The simple rustic charm of this design captured our low-key wedding approach perfectly! (We ordered the invitations as well as the thank you cards). From layout of the cards to delivery, Wedding Paper Divas made the process really easy! Not only that, but the cards are great quality and the price is very reasonable. And delivery was so fast! We got the cards about a week earlier than the noted delivery date."
"Noone has received the thank you notes yet, but the people who have received the matching invitation to the reception have raved about it. The quality of the paper is great and any contact with your staff has been outstanding."

* Directors, officers, underwriters and auditor settle
* $208.5 million ranks among largest from credit crisis
WILMINGTON, Del. (Reuters) - Washington Mutual Inc's officers, directors, underwriters and auditor have agreed to a $208.5 million settlement to end class-action securities fraud lawsuits, according to court documents.
The settlement is among the largest stemming from the financial crisis, trailing a $624 million settlement by Countrywide Financial Corp and $475 million by Merrill Lynch & Co Inc.
The lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington accused the defendants of concealing from investors poor loan underwriting and inflated appraisals that juiced earnings. That inflated the company's stock price, which was once a stock-market darling.
As the U.S. housing market began to crash, Washington Mutual's loans soured at an alarming rate. In September 2008 regulators seized the company's savings and loan business in the largest bank failure in U.S. history.
The day after the seizure, the bank holding company, Washington Mutual Inc, filed for bankruptcy.
Under the terms of the class-action settlement, announced in court papers dated Thursday, claims against the directors and officers will be settled for around $105 million.
About a dozen underwriters of the company's securities contributed $85 million to the settlement; the company's auditor, Deloitte & Touche LLP, contributed $18.5 million.
The settlement is subject to court approval.
The cases were consolidated as Washington Mutual Inc Securities, Derivative & ERISA litigation, U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington, No. 08-md-1919.

Based in New York's Lower East Side, JD Fisk is the guys-only offshoot of esteemed women's footwear brand Dolce Vita. Like its older sister, JD Fisk is committed to crafting high-quality shoes and boots at attainable prices — but that's where the siblings' similarities end. While Dolce Vita turns out sexy, strappy numbers fit for a modern-day movie siren, JD Fisk stays true to time-honored, rugged Americana style with shoes like the Nikko (a saddle shoe available in both monotone and two-tone color schemes), desert boots, burnished leather oxfords, and lace-up boots in tobacco, black, or grey suede. Though focused on timeless designs, JD Fisk isn't afraid to add a trendy flourish here and there — for example, neon soles on the bottoms of its classic wingtips. With nods to vintage cobbling techniques and the British punk movement, this young collection will jumpstart your wardrobe from the ground up.
