Yahoo global news anchor Katie Couric interviewed presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders about why he's running for president, the USA Freedom Act, the ever growing Republican field and going up against Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic nomination.
On Monday's episode of Today, Tracy Morgan sat down with his attorney Benedict Morelli and host Matt Lauer to discuss, for the first time, the June 2014 accident that resulted in Morgan getting brain trauma and broken leg, nose, and ribs. Morgan says he has no memory of what happened, "I don't remember the accident. I just remember when I came through. Megan, my fiancée, was right there. My son was right there, Mark was right there, Ben was right there. That's basically what I remember." While others might have looked to distance themselves from such a traumatic experience, Morgan did the opposite, "When I got home, it really hit me. Every day I would watch the accident on YouTube. One day I came across his funeral on YouTube...I had to know what happened to my friend." The friend he is referring to is James "Jimmy Mack" McNair, who did not survive the accident. Morgan cried when discussing a man he's referred to as his mentor, telling Lauer, "He's a close friend of mine, a comrade in comedy. He was a loving man and he was a warm man. He was a good man. It just hurts me to see that he's gone." When Lauer asked how Morgan is doing now, the actor and comedian replied, "You can see the scars on my head. There are times where I have my good days and my bad days where I forget things, you know. There are times when I got headaches and the nosebleeds. And I won't even let my lady know because I don't want her to be worried about it. But I have my good days and my bad days." Morgan reassured his fans who have been missing his presence over the past year that he's going to return to making people laugh, "I love comedy. I'll never stop loving her. I love comedy and I can't wait to get back to her. But right now my goal is just to heal and get better 'cause I'm not 100 percent yet. I'm not. And when I'm there, you'll know it. I'll get back to making you laugh, I promise you."

FBI maintains criminal checks
Dealers ID buyers via database
Federal law bars people who fall into the categories below from buying a gun.
Their names are reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System maintained by the FBI. Federally licensed gun dealers screen potential buyers through NICS.
The Senate is expected to take up legislation this month to make background checks comprehensive — not just for those attempting to buy firearms from federally licensed sellers.
Prohibited from buying a gun under federal law:
■ A person convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year or any state offense classified by the state as a misdemeanor punishable by more than two years in prison.
■ Fugitives from justice.
■ An unlawful user and/or an addict of any controlled substance.
■ A person adjudicated mentally defective or involuntarily committed to a mental institution or incompetent to handle own affairs, found not guilty by reason of insanity or found incompetent to stand trial.
■ A person who, being undocumented, is illegally or unlawfully in the U.S.
■ A person dishonorably discharged from the armed forces.
■ A person who has renounced U.S. citizenship.
■ Subjects of a protective order issued in which the respondents had notice that restrains them from harassing, stalking or threatening an intimate partner or child of such partner.
■ A person convicted of misdemeanor including use or attempted use of physical force or threatened use of a deadly weapon in a domestic abuse situation.
■ A person under indictment or information for crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.

Supreme Court upholds gov't claim over Cojuangco shares in UCPB
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—The Supreme Court upheld the government's claim over shares of businessman Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco at the United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB).
In a decision released Monday, the high court dismissed Cojuangco's petition that questioned the July 2003 decision of the Sandiganbayan, declaring the assets as illegally acquired.
"The (UCPB shares) transferred to defendant Cojuangco are hereby declared conclusively owned by the Republic of the Philippines to be used only for the benefit of all coconut farmers and for the
development of the coconut industry, and ordered reconveyed to the government," the decision penned by Associate Justice Presbitero Velasco Jr. stated.
The high court said the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) has presented sufficient evidence to prove its claim against the said shares.
The high court said the anti-graft court is correct when it nullified the May 25, 1975, deal of the Philippine Coconut Administration (PCA) that transferred to Cojuangco by way of compensation 10 percent of the 72.2 percent shares of First United Bank (now UCPB) that the PCA bought from his uncle Pedro Cojuangco. The court said the fund used to buy said shares was that from the coco levy.
The high court said Cojuangco in effect received public assets valued then at P10.88 million. It took note of Cojuangco's admission that the PCA paid the entire acquisition price for the 72.2 percent shares out of the Coconut Consumers Stabilization Fund (CCSF).
"Consequently, Cojuangco cannot stand to benefit by receiving, in his private capacity, 7.22 percent of the FUB shares without violating the constitutional caveat that public funds can only be used for public purpose," the high court said.
"Accordingly, the 7.22 percent FUB (UCPB) shares that were given to Cojuangco shall be returned to the Government, to be used 'only for the benefit of all coconut farmers and for the development of the coconut industry'," it added.
"The UCPB shares of stock of the alleged fronts, nominees and dummies of defendant Eduardo M. Cojuangco Jr., which form part of the 72.2 percent shares of the FUB/UCPB paid for by the PCA with public funds later charged to the coconut levy funds, particularly the CCSF, belong to the plaintiff Republic of the Philippines as their true and beneficial owner," the high court said.
The anti-graft court in 2003 said that the use by the PCA of coconut levy funds to purchase the 72.2 percent of UCPB in 1975 was illegal.
Under Section 1 of Presidential Decree No. 755, which was cited by the PCA as authority for the use of the Coconut Consumers' Stabilization Fund (CCSF), was never published and hence "did not
acquire binding force," the Court added
The high court said, "We cannot, therefore, extend to the said agreement the status of a law. Consequently, we join the Sandiganbayan in its holding that the PCA-Cojuangco Agreement shall be treated as an ordinary transaction between agreeing minds to be governed by contract law under the Civil
Eight other justices concurred in the ruling in full-court session while the six others did not participate in the voting.

Over Time
About13th September 26th October 2014 Time Travel probably isn't possible, we just keep on moving forward, but we all experience the tick tock of passing seconds and minutes in different ways. Time can be elastic and sometimes art can stop us in our tracks. The Over Time art project engages eleven contemporary artists to make âtime pieces' in a place that is about to change forever... the Greenwich foreshore. Each of the artists will make a response to spending precisely the same fixed amount of 'clock time' (five hours without watches or phones) in the very historically resonant and atmospheric riverside space at Enderby's Wharf, the site of the first underwater telegraph cables. This is a site marked by time as industrial history, social development and the natural rhythms of the tides. Works will include sound, movement, performance, film, drawing, writing, conceptual, objects. This project is a way to explore time in a place that is already marked by timeâ¦â¦ by the natural rhythms of weather and tides, the marks of our London ancestors, of industrial heritage and the rapid progress of city development. PROJECT SCHEDULE 13th & 14th September; Thames foreshore The initial part of the project will take place over the Thames Festival weekend with art and performance events on and around the Thames Path on both days. Over Time artists will be hosting drawing workshops with local people in Greenwich about their memories of and feelings about the riverside area. 26th October; National Maritime Museum and Queen's House and Greenwich University, Stephen Lawrence Gallery Archive Space A day of performances and new films about the foreshore developed for the Over Time project. ARTISTS Artists: Jo David, Claudia Firth, Charlie Fox, Katharine Fry, Rachel Gomme, Victoria Gray, Birgitta Hosea, The International Western, Gavin Maughfling, Sarah Sparkes and Ian Thompson. 18th September - 16th October; Stephen Lawrence Gallery Archive Space, Old Royal Naval College A month long art exhibition featuring work created throughout the project. See website, Facebook and Twitter for updates, timings and exact locations. Over Time is curated by artist Anne Robinson working in collaboration with David Waterworth at the Greenwich University Gallery. Anne teaches film at London Met University and has previously curated 'One More Time' project, Supernormal Festival, and the project is further supported by Arts Council England.

Women and the Boston race
This year's edition of the Boston Marathon marks the 40th year since women were officially allowed to join the world's oldest annual marathon in 1972. Today, women comprise 43 percent the Boston marathon entrants. For today's crop of female runners it must be hard to imagine how women had to fight and lobby for a place in the marathon starting line.
The first woman to ever run the Boston was Roberta "Bobbi" Gibb but she was a bandit runner. The first officially registered female runner to ever run Boston, or any marathon for that matter is Kathryn V. Switzer in 1967, but only because her entry form only reflected her initals – KV Switzer and race officials had unwittingly registered a man.
At mile 4 or between KM 6 and 7, race director Jock Semple discovered that KV Switzer was a woman and tried to forcibly remove Kathryn Switzer from the race and rip her bib number from her sweat shirt if not for her then running coach and boyfriend who protected her from Semple's attack. Kathryn went on to cross the finishline in 4 hours 20 minutes.
Women were officially allowed to run Boston in 1972, but only after much lobbying from Switzer and her fellow pioneers in the women's marathon Nina Kuscsik and Sara Rae Berman. In their first year as official entrants, women had the same qualifying standard as the men which is 3:30. The first female winner of the Boston Marathon was Nina Kuscsik who crossed the finishline in 3:10:26.
It would take another 12 years of intense lobbying before women marathoners were allowed to compete in the Olympics. In 1984, marathon legend American Joan Benoit Samuelson became the first gold medal winner of the women's marathon at the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles with a time of 2:24:52. The silver went to the late great Grete Waitz of Norway who also won the New York City Marathon 9 times while bronze went to Rosa Mota of Portugal.
Boston Marathon Fun Facts
We all know that a Boston Qualifier is the serious marathoner's holy grail with at least 25,000 runners coming for all corners of the world. But did you know that when it started in 1897, a year after the modern-day marathon was introduced in the Summer Olympics, the Boston Marathon only had 15 entrants and that the winner of the second Boston Marathon in 1898 was a man named Ronald Mac Donald?
Here are some interesting trivia and fun facts about the Boston Marathon as compiled by CBS News in Boston.
* John J. McDermott won the first Boston Marathon in 1897 in a time of 2:55:10
* Prize money was first awarded at the Boston Marathon in 1986
* The total prize money package for the Boston Marathon is $806,000
* In Men's and Women's divisions, the champions each win a gold medal, a laurel wreath, and $150,000.
* Since 1969, the Boston Marathon has always been run on Patriots' Day, the third Monday in April
* About 500,000 spectators line the marathon route each year
* 1966: Roberta Gibb became the first woman to unofficially run the Boston Marathon
* 1967: Katherine Switzer became first woman to receive official number, by using her initials to register
* 1972: Women were first allowed to officially enter the Boston Marathon
* The largest field of runners was for the 100th Boston Marathon in 1996, when 36,748 runners started the marathon
* Ten hospitals along the route bulk up their staffs on race day. And for good reason: around 900 runners get treated for injuries and exhaustion every year. But in the history of the race, only two runners have died.
* 1975: Boston became the first marathon to include a wheelchair division
* Cuba almost had its first champion in 1980, when Rosie Ruiz was the first woman to cross the finish line. Almost for one simple reason: officials discovered Ruiz had merely jumped into the course near the finish line.
* Comedian Will Ferrell ran the Boston Marathon in 3:56:12. Mario Lopez was far slower at 5:41:41. Fastest time set by a non-runner celebrity? Lance Armstrong at 2:50:58.
* Water and Gatorade are provided every mile of the course; PowerGel is provided at mile 17
* Four tons of pasta and 500 gallons of tomato sauce are cooked for the pre-race meal

This works really good for my skin type (combo/dry in winter) and the nw10 is a perfect shade for my pale skin. It last all day on me and doesn't off in patches even in my t zone. It also doesn't cling to dry patches like the nars sheer glow did.

This has been a foundation that I have touted again and again that I despise-- despise!! I would use the harshest words describing my opinion of mac sff. BUT having the most oily and difficult skin on the planet, this is also a foundation that I just kept on trying to work with- as so many others continued to let me down, turning me into an oily, cakey mess within hours.
This is my review on how I finally got this foundation to work and be FLAWLESS. And how I can counter the things I once hated about it.
1) before purchasing I watched a utube tutorial suggesting you apply this w a dampened stipple brush... DO NOT DO THAT!!! This stuff falls apart if it comes into contact with water. You will have random patches of foundation on your face. This also will not work with damp beauty blender enthusiasts. The SA at mac used a 190 to apply this on me. I use a flat top foundation brush (like shi or the one from elf). They are definitely to be used DRY!!
2) I have always loved st Ives moisturizer. For some reason mac sff does not. I've learned that for some reason mineral oil based moisturizers tend to cause this to fade in patches off the face sooner. Of course - this foundation plays very well with mac moisturizers. It's AWESOME under macs oil control lotion and also looks really nice under strobe cream.
3) easy on the powder! I remember complaining how this oxidized Oompa Loompa orange on me. This is a powder based foundation. And many know powder tends to set darker on the skin. So if you add say sff and SF powder over it, you're going to look nice and matte BUT it's going to dry to an orange and very unnatural finish. It's also going to make you look liney and emphasize pores. I recommend not setting with powder, or if you are too oily like me and that's not an option, take a blush brush and barely dip it into the powder and go LIGHTLY around the face, focusing on t zone
Here is my routine and this is my new absolutely favorite routine!!
- moisturize face w mac oil control
- using mac "matte" as a primer, I add a tiniest bit just in the t zone where I "shine"
-I go lightly on the sff and make sure to stipple it into the skin well. This is heavy coverage so less is more.
- mac PLW concealer under eye (I don't need to conceal blemish marks bc sff is so awesome. I already look air brushed and nice)
-barely dragging my mac 129 over sf powder, I apply powder to my face-- just barely using any.
This lasts shine free for about 5 hours, start looking patchy after about 8. There is longer lasting foundations ala mac PLW or ELDW but IMHO they don't look nearly as nice.
I'm in love with this right now and I'll update any changes :))

I don't know what foundation you all are using because this is my all time favorite. Goes on matte, stays on all day, I don't even need too much concealer and I do not use powder when I wear this because it is not needed. The smell isn't that great but it is a great product and definitely has never turned out orange for me. The powder is also amazing.

I got color matched at Mac with this foundation and was happy with it for like a day. While it looked pretty nice on my skin, almost immediately after application my skin broke out in itchy acne-hives. They looked and felt like little mosquito bites. I powered through with the foundation for a week or so because the bumps would calm down after about half an hour and then my skin would look fine. Eventually I had to throw it out.
This might have been a personal skin reaction but my skin is not particularly sensitive, so I wouldn't be surprised if this were common. The foundation itself had pretty good coverage and I liked its liquid, blend-able texture.

This really oxidizes and turns orange. I have purchased it twice, but never again. It's completely full coverage as promised, but it's almost too much coverage. It doesn't look like skin. I was excited by the color options and exact match in store but noticed I was starting to look orange. It's just really not a good foundation look for me, NW22. I don't want to look like a dorito. I use it sometimes at night in clubs because it's hard to see and lasts forever, but it could never be a daytime look.

This foundation is my saviour. I have acne prone/combination bordering on to oily skin, I have been through dozens of foundations and this is the one that has only have truly worked for me. I work very long hours I'm up at 5:30 in morning and not home till 7/8 in the evening sometimes later and this foundation stays on all day! I receive many compliments from friends and family saying how terrific I look. I ended up going to an exercise class with this on and after an hour of sweating my friends mum and I quote said "everyone looks worn out but you look like you haven't sweated for a second! How do you always look so great?!" That just proves on how great this foundation is. I use the MAC 130 brush to put this foundation on, I don't glide it on I buff it into my skin and a little does really go a long way. This foundation is perfect and it's build-able so you can go for a light coverage to full on coverage. And the foundation lasts for a really long time I don't have to buy another bottle until 2-3 months later depending how often I have used it and re-applied throughout the days. This foundation is a must have for anyone!

Horrible do not buy!
This foundation broke me out, looked horrible on my skin and was a complete waste of money! I even gave it to my mum and some friends to try and they even hated it. Shame because the concealer is quite good.

looks great & full coverage which is great because it's the only thing that could cover up the horrible break outs it gave me. It was so bad I actually returned it. Would never purchase another foundation from MAC, I do like the way it looks but I can't deal with the zits.

This is the foundation I am currently using. To be honest, I don't think that it is anything special or spectacular. With that being said, I don't think that it is bad, either. To me, it's very comparable to Revlon's Colorstay. However, I find myself going back to the Colorstay because it is cheaper and there's a greater range of shades which is nice because I wear the shade NC15 in this foundation (the lightest shade available) and it is still a bit too dark for me. I have to put some bronzer on my neck and chest when I wear this.
I will say that the coverage is great! My sister also wears this and she has freckles and this foundation covers them like a charm. She recently bought Estee Lauder Doublewear (which I have not personally tried but a lot of people love) and it doesn't do nearly as good of a job covering freckles as this foundation does. She said that this foundation gives a lot better coverage and she will be going back to it.
I have a few ice pick scars on my cheeks and this foundation doesn't do much anything to cover them or make them look much less noticeable. I would try to use a Sigma F80 to apply this foundation and it would give too cakey of a finish sometimes so I've been applying it with a stippling brush which gives a much lighter finish wihtout packing this foundation into my scars and pores thus making them more obvious. I have also applied this foundation with a BeautyBlender and that usually turns out pretty good, too.
I have not personally experienced a lot of breakouts with this foundation or if I have, I have not made the connection. With that being said, this foundation is somewhat notorious for breaking people out. I have struggled with acne in the past but I feel like I am at a place now where it's very controllable, however, I am still prone to breakouts every now and then. So with that being said, this foundation doesn't do anything horrible to my skin.
The packing is rather annoying, particularly when you get down to the last of the foundation. I've spent a few painful minutes banging this jar against the back of my hand trying to get the last of the product out. But other than that, I think the packaging looks nice and sleek. Which is should for the $27 you are paying for it (which is still rather inexpensive for a department store foundation).
So all in all, if you want to give this foundation a try and are not super prone to breakouts and do not mind spending $27 on a product that is fairly comparable to some foundations you might find in Walmart, then I say go for it. I mean, if you don't like it, you can always return it.

Broke me out after 1 week of use like CRAZY. I have never broken out to a product before.
This foundation smells and feels like paint, and for some reason the NC15 I bought this time around (from the official site, mind you) was banana yellow on my face.
There's a reason they call it Macne.
On the bright side, it was good at covering up the acne it made...

Stanford is back on top of the Pac-12 North after Arizona did to Oregon what Southern California did to the Cardinal last week.
Though this upset was far more surprising and emphatic.
The fifth-ranked Ducks had their national championship hopes smashed by Arizona, 42-16 on Saturday as No. 10 Stanford was routing California.
The results give Stanford the Pac-12 North title for a second straight season. Oregon (9-2) might be able to get an at-large BCS bid if it can close out with a victory against Oregon State, but it's looking like a bit of a long shot now.
Oregon lost for the second time in three games. In the last three weeks the Ducks have lost to Stanford to give the Cardinal control of the division, then regained control when Stanford fell to USC, and now have given it away again.
Stanford has a chance to reach back-to-back Rose Bowls for the first time since the 1971 and '72 games.
No. 3 BAYLOR 49, No. 11 OKLAHOMA ST. 17
STILLWATER, Okla. — Clint Chelf passed for a career-high 370 yards and accounted for four touchdowns as Oklahoma State took down another national-championship hopeful.
Chelf, who lost the starting job earlier this season for the Cowboys (10-1, 7-1 Big 12 Conference), threw for three touchdown passes and ran for a score — continuing his mastery of the stunned Bears in front of a record crowd of 60,218 in Boone Pickens Stadium.
The senior also had a 48-yard reception and finished with 438 yards of total offense. He was 19-of-25 passing. Tracy Moore added five catches for 126 yards for Oklahoma State.
Bryce Petty was 28-of-48 passing for 359 yards for Baylor (9-1, 6-1), which had its 13-game winning streak snapped and hasn't won in Stillwater since 1939.
No. 4 OHIO STATE 42, INDIANA 14
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Braxton Miller ran for 144 yards and two touchdowns and passed for two more Saturday to lead No. 4 Ohio State to a 42-14 victory over Indiana, extending the Buckeyes' school-record win streak to 23 in a row.
The snowy victory clinched a division title for the Buckeyes (11-0, 7-0), locking up a spot opposite Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game on Dec. 7.
No. 18 LSU 34, No. 9 TEXAS A&M 10
BATON ROUGE, La. — Terrance Magee rushed for a career-high 149 yards and LSU's defense pulled the plug on Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M's video-game offense.
Zach Mettenberger completed 11-of-20 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns on a cold, wet and windy afternoon. Jarvis Landry highlighted his four-catch, 87-yard performances with touchdowns of 40 and 10 yards. LSU (8-3, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) piled up 324 yards on the ground and outgained Texas A&M (8-3, 4-3) in total yards, 517-299.
What was likely Manziel's only visit to Tiger Stadium was among the worst outings of his otherwise brilliant career. He passed for 224 yards and a TD, but completed only 16 of 41, was sacked twice and intercepted twice as the Aggies' road winning streak ended at 10.
No. 10 STANFORD 63, CALIFORNIA 13
STANFORD, Calif. — Ty Montgomery matched a Stanford school record with five touchdowns, scoring the first four times he touched the ball, and the Cardinal clinched a spot in the Pac-12 championship game with Oregon's loss.
Kevin Hogan threw four of his five scoring passes to Montgomery, including a 9-yard completion just before halftime that put Stanford ahead 42-13. The Cardinal (9-2, 7-2 Pac-12) bounced back from last week's loss at USC but needed No. 5 Oregon to lose one of its final two games to earn a spot in the conference championship. The Ducks lost 42-16 in Tucson, and Stanford's fans led chants of "Arizona! Arizona!"
Hogan set career highs with 329 yards passing and the five TD passes.
Cal (1-11, 0-9) lost its 10th straight to finish new coach Sonny Dykes' disappointing debut year.
No. 12 SOUTH CAROLINA 70, COASTAL CAROLINA 10
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Connor Shaw passed for a touchdown and ran for a score in less than a quarter of work as South Carolina scored the most points in Steve Spurrier's nine seasons as coach.
The Gamecocks (9-2) scored on their first six possessions and surpassed their output from a 69-24 win over Troy in 2010. And it came with South Carolina resting several starters for rival Clemson next Saturday night, including defensive linemen Jadeveon Clowney and Kelcy Quarles and the Southeastern Conference's leading rusher in Mike Davis.
The Gamecocks won their record 17th straight game at home and Shaw improved to 25-5 as a starter, moving past Todd Ellis' wins mark
The news wasn't all bad for Coastal Carolina (10-2). The Chants learned before halftime they shared a Big South championship and earned the league's FCS playoff bid.
No. 13 MICHIGAN STATE 30, NORTHWESTERN 6
EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Connor Cook threw for a career-high 293 yards, Jeremy Langford ran for 150, and Michigan State clinched a spot in the Big Ten title game.
Cook threw for two touchdowns. Langford ran for two scores, and the Spartans (10-1, 7-0) reached the conference title game for the second time in three years.
Langford ran 20 yards untouched for the game's first touchdown in the second quarter. He sealed it with a 37-yard scoring run in the fourth after Kurtis Drummond picked off a short pass by Trevor Siemian, sending Michigan State to its seventh straight win and Northwestern (4-7, 0-7) to its seventh loss in a row.
No. 19 ARIZONA STATE 38, No. 14 UCLA 33
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Taylor Kelly passed for 225 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 99 yards and another score, and Arizona State hung on in the fourth quarter to clinch its first Pac-12 South title.
Marion Grice had 95 yards rushing and 72 yards receiving for the surging Sun Devils (9-2, 7-1 Pac-12), who will face Stanford in the league title game in two weeks. If Arizona State beats Arizona in the Territorial Cup game next week, the Sun Devils will host the Cardinal.
Arizona State blew most of a 22-point halftime lead over the Bruins (8-3, 5-3) and scored just three points in the second half, but its defense held UCLA scoreless on its final two drives.
No. 15 FRESNO STATE 69, NEW MEXICO 28
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Derek Carr threw for 527 yards and a school-record seven touchdowns in his final regular-season home game and Fresno State clinched a spot in the Mountain West title game.
Davante Adams had nine catches for 246 yards and four scores and Josh Harper added 10 for 161 and three TDs as the Bulldogs (10-0, 7-0) gained a school-record 820 yards and clinched first place in the West Division. They will likely host the conference championship game on Dec. 7 as long as they remain ahead of the Mountain Division winner in the BCS standings.
The Lobos (3-8, 1-6) lost their 15th straight game against a ranked opponent as they struggled on offense without injured quarterback Cole Gautsche and running back Kasey Carrier and had no defensive answer to stop Carr and the Bulldogs' bevy of playmakers.
No. 16 WISCONSIN 20, MINNESOTA 7
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — James White rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown and No. 16 Wisconsin beat Minnesota for the 10th straight time.
Jared Abbrederis had seven catches for 67 yards and a touchdown and Chris Borland recovered two fumbles and forced one to tie the NCAA record for career fumbles caused. After the game, the Badgers (9-2, 6-1 Big Ten) hoisted Paul Bunyan's Axe and used it to chop the Gophers goal post when the time ran out.
Aaron Hill returned an interception for a touchdown and David Cobb rushed for 68 yards for the Golden Gophers (8-3, 4-3). But Philip Nelson completed just 7 of 23 passes for 83 yards and the Gophers turned the ball over three times to snap a four-game winning streak.
No. 21 LOUISVILLE 24, MEMPHIS 17
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Teddy Bridgewater threw for 220 yards and a touchdown in what could be his final home game for Louisville.
The Cardinals used a 17-point surge over the second and third quarters to provide a cushion.
Louisville (10-1, 6-1 American Athletic Conference) seemed in control leading 24-3 before quarterback Paxton Lynch rallied Memphis (3-7, 1-5) with a 4-yard run early in the fourth quarter and a 6-yard TD pass to Jesse Milleson with 6:07 remaining.
The Tigers' defense was poised to give Lynch another opportunity but Reggis Ball was penalized for roughing punter Ryan Johnson, giving the Cardinals first down at the Memphis 29 with 2:58 left.
Louisville eventually turned it over on downs at the Memphis 6. But with no timeouts left, the Tigers gained just 17 yards before time expired.
No. 22 OKLAHOMA 41, KANSAS STATE 31
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Brennan Clay ran for a career-high 200 yards and two touchdowns and Sooners coach Bob Stoops moved past Barry Switzer for the most wins in school history.
It was the 157th victory at Oklahoma for Stoops, and it came against his former mentor. Stoops was a defensive assistant under Kansas State coach Bill Snyder from 1989-95.
Freshman Trevor Knight, filling in for the injured Blake Bell, threw for 171 yards and accounted for two TDs for the Sooners (9-2, 6-2 Big 12). He made do without running back Damien Williams and wide receiver Lacoltan Bester, who were reportedly suspended earlier in the week.
Tyler Lockett had 12 catches for a school-record 278 yards and three touchdowns for Kansas State (6-5, 4-4), which had its four-game win streak end.
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Sophomore Javorius Allen ran for a career-best 145 yards and three touchdowns and the Trojans beat the Buffs in 29-degree weather, tied for the second-coldest kickoff in USC history.
Southern California (9-3, 6-2 Pac-12) improved to 8-0 against the Buffaloes (4-7, 1-7) while improving to 6-1 under interim coach Ed Orgeron.
The only downer for the Trojans was getting left out in the cold in the Pac-12 race as No. 19 Arizona State held off UCLA 38-33 earlier Saturday to clinch the South division.
The Buffaloes saw their slim bowl hopes come to an end in what might have been star receiver Paul Richardson's final home game. He didn't catch a pass until midway through the third quarter, and by that time, the Buffs trailed by 30.
No. 25 DUKE 28, WAKE FOREST 21
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Anthony Boone threw three touchdown passes and No. 25 Duke held on for its seventh straight win.
Brandon Connette rushed 3 yards for the go-ahead score late in the third quarter and Boone was 24 of 29 for 256 yards. The Blue Devils (9-2, 5-2 ACC) fell behind 14-0 before rallying to match the school record for victories and remain in control of the Coastal Division.
Boone threw touchdown passes covering 58 and 10 yards to Jamison Crowder and 4 yards to Max McCaffrey.
Thomas Brown returned a fumble 59 yards for a touchdown for Wake Forest (4-7, 2-6).
Tanner Price was 12 of 27 for 124 yards in his final home game with a 6-yard touchdown to Spencer Bishop and an 11-yard touchdown run. But he was intercepted by Ross Cockrell with 2:30 left.

Why performance ratings make my brain hurt
Whether we admit it or not, most of today's performance rating processes are designed to tell employees they are not as good as they think they are. But what effect does that approach have on people? Former DHS Chief Human Capital Officer Jeff Neal explains why he thinks the process is destructive and is in need of an overhaul.

Performance management - Judge not, lest ye be judged?
Plain old good manners tell us we shouldn't go around judging people. But in the federal HR world, entire performance rating systems are built around judging others. Former DHS CHCO Jeff Neal says it's time for agency managers to think differently about how they rate their employees.

Connolly: Budget uncertainty has 'insidious impact' on feds, contractors

Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), whose district includes many federal employees and contractors, tells Federal News Radio the climate of uncertainty is having a negative impact on both groups.

Mouthful of Bees
The End
Afternoon Records
Minneapolis-based Mouthful of Bees, with its barbed guitar lines and swarms of distortion, is a rare musical species: a band whose name perfectly fits its music.
It's easy to see why Mouthful of Bees garnered attention before releasing this infectious disc a few weeks ago. The record kicks off with the fantastic, Television-like "The Now," a sweetly melodic burst of energy. Drums thump, guitars weave and bob, and singer Chris Farstad croons, "In the time it took for me to write my novel, I did nothing in particular at all."
Due to the record's fuzzy production and flurries of noise, that's the last coherent sentence we hear from Farstad; the band treats his lost lyrics as sacrifices to a worthy force of nature. Under the unholy racket, however, lies a core of catchy power pop. This foundation helps Mouthful of Bees pull off the indie trick of sounding both ramshackle and tightly wound.
The End also contains quieter songs, but they serve as palate-cleansers for bombast. The jangly ballad "Jessica" introduces "Under the Glacier," which starts with a single distorted guitar line and turns into chaos. The song then breaks at the three-minute mark, after which a feverish coda builds slowly into renewed mayhem.
It's fitting to describe The End as a series of highlights, because while the disc is cohesive, its songs are continually on the verge of explosion. Luckily for any rock 'n' roll fans within earshot, Mouthful of Bees trade in the genre's specialty: combustion.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Local group continues to raise funds to send care packages to troops
Published: Thursday, November 8, 2012 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 12:43 p.m.
DELAND - Imagine bathing with no soap, or not being able to enjoy a chocolate sandwich cookie, or living in a place where basic necessities are dropped from a helicopter onto the sandy ground below.
This was the kind of life that Michelle Jenkins, founder and director of operations of Care 4 R Troops, envisioned when her relatives described life in Iraq and Afghanistan after returning from a year's deployment. She knew she had to do something.
What began as just a few care packages sent here and there to friends and relatives has grown into Care 4 R Troops, a service that sends free care packages to any service member currently deployed to a combat zone. Family members are encouraged to fill out a simple form at care4rtroops.org, and then Jenkins and her team fill boxes with non-perishable snacks and drinks, toiletries, puzzle books and magazines. The boxes are then shipped out at about $13 a box, Jenkins said.
Since beginning Care 4 R Troops in June 2011, Jenkins said her organization has sent out about 500 care packages for service members currently deployed. Jenkins said she is waiting for 501(c)3 designation from the state, and is partnering with another not-for-profit until then.
Jenkins, along with Amy Hinish, executive director of Care 4 R Troops, and Ryan Murphy, Jenkins' brother and a Marine Corps reservist, work tirelessly on events like the Warrior Walk at Earl Brown Park to help raise awareness and funds for the cause.
Despite some public perception that "the war is over," Jenkins said "We still have people who are registering for the care packages." And, Jenkins said, she tries to ensure that any service member who is currently deployed will also get a Christmas box from home.
Tom Dennis, one of the participants in the Warrior Walk, spent 8 1/2 years in the Marine Corps and knows how important care packages are.
"I had friends and family send me packages," Dennis said, but some of his fellow Marines received nothing. Care packages - like the ones from Care 4 R Troops - are very important to a service member's morale. "Come out and show your support for the military," Dennis said. "If it wasn't for the military, we wouldn't be standing here today."
For more information about Care 4 R Troops, call Jenkins at 386-848-7206.

Gear Question
Is a model-specific rainfly available? ...
Is a model-specific rainfly available? Is a larger size hip belt that is Deva-specific available and interchangeable? (say, a medium or large)
Terran Siladi
Model Specific, no. Gregory makes a general pack cover though, which can be found here: http://www.backcountry.com/gregory-rain-cover
I would suggest a small size, or a medium if you think you might be attaching things to the outside of your pack.
Any other general pack cover from another company, like sea-to-summit, should also work just as well: http://www.backcountry.com/sea-to-summit-ultra-light-siliconized-pack-cover
I would suggest a medium for that brand.
The hip belt should be sized appropriately with the pack size that you buy, but if you find that it is not you can buy a differently sized hip belt. Backcountry does not seem to have any in stock, but REI sometimes does, though I do not believe they are model specific. If you contact Gregory directly you may also be able to purchase one from them, though the don't have them listed on their website.

Reviews (35)
5 out of 5 stars Scars Treatment
Worth the Money - Bellevue, WA
Show More Dr.Philip Young is very kind and precise.
5 out of 5 stars
59 Year Old Asian Female. - Bellevue, WA
Show More Dr. Young excellent, I felt very comfortable with him. My brother is in the medical field as a P.A. his wife is a RN. They are both pleased with the results.
5 out of 5 stars CO2 Laser
The Best Treatment I Ever Had CO2 Laser - Bellevue, WA
Show More Dr. Young was very professional. He answered all of my questions and truly understood all of my concerns. The results were even better than I expected.
5 out of 5 stars Chin Implant
Jaw Implants with Dr. Young - Seattle, WA
Show More I've wanted jaw implants for years and now I have them thanks to Dr. Young. This guy is an amazing doctor. I had issues early on and Dr. Young took quick note of it. Once again, just like he did with my chin implant he took action. He didn't even allow there to be a risk of an infection early on because of fluid building up. He opened it up and decided it was best to let it heal naturally and given the results so far I have to agree. Dr. Young even met with me on his days off (along with his superb nurse Kristina) and made sure I had the best care possible. I really don't know what else to say about Dr. Young as a doctor other than in my mind he's the world's best surgeon. The amazing thing is as great of a doctor as he is he's an even better person. That's saying a lot, too. Especially, since I wouldn't trust another doctor to go under the knife with. Thank you, Dr. Young!
Ugly Neck Surgery Scar - Bellevue, WA
Show More Dr. Young and is staff are not only professional and courteous, but it is apparent that they are content with their surroundings. This is 100 percent due to Dr. Young. He is a real, caring, and honest surgeon who personalizes his care to the specific needs of the client. I tend to be a bit over-reactive with procedures and he always responded with empathy and information. Truly a pleasure before, during and after.
5 out of 5 stars Lower Face Lift
Lower Facelift - Seattle, WA
Show More He was aware of a bad infection I got from another cosmetic center, and took all precautions to make sure I came trhough the surgery safely.
5 out of 5 stars
Dr. Young is Without Question the Best Surgeon I've Went To - Bellevue, WA
Show More Dr. Young and his staff are phenomenal in all aspects. Dr. Young's skill and eye for the aesthetics is brilliant. Also, he treats you like you're a family member and not just another patient. Whatever else I decide to have done I am certainly going to use Dr. Young. He's always been there when I needed him and has proven to be as superb of a person as he is a doctor. He injected Radiesse into my cheeks to give them a more chiseled look and he couldn't have done a better job. I told Dr. Young I wanted him to follow the natural angularity of my cheeks to achieve the look I wanted. This is especially important for men who want to achieve the masculine look. It's important to remember that for getting Radiesse to your cheeks if you're a guy. Make sure to go to a doctor who's trained in giving you that angularity you need. Pros: Little down time and instant results Cons: Having to keep getting touch ups and the fact that they don't last forever. Overall, I feel fillers are worth it and since I just need a subtle touch to my cheeks it makes fillers a much better option than cheek implants in my case.
5 out of 5 stars Fat Transfer
60 Approaching, My Last Big Procedure
Show More I am sincerely happy with the results. I believe that Dr. Young is highly skilled and honestly sincere about wanting all of his patients to be happy with their results. I would, and have, recommended him to many of my friends.
4 out of 5 stars Non Surgical Face Lift
78 Year Old White Female, with a Desire to Reduce Wrinkles Following Medical Crises. - Bellevue, WA
Show More Dr Young has been consistantly professional, courteous and available for any issues or questions I might have. A true level of professionalism. My personal benefit was achieved by not having to have an anesethic in order to have the procedure. Very efficient and worthwhile ....
5 out of 5 stars
Needed Refresher! - Bellevue, WA
Show More Dr Young is an incredibly skilled physician-- the best out there.

Everyone Who Can Should Vacation At The Jersey Shore This Year [OPINION]
Not everyone will get the chance to vacation this summer after all we've been through, but those of us who can should vacation at the Jersey Shore in 2013.
Not everyone will get the chance to vacation this summer after all we've been through, but those of us who can should vacation at the Jersey Shore in 2013.
Point Beach and Bay Head are just two of the many towns along the Jersey Shore that are sobering reminders of just how much work lies ahead of us in the wake of Sandy, and how important it is for us to stay Jersey strong.
The Assembly's Tourism Committee is asking Jersey Shore officials what needs to be done to help ensure a tourist season in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
Amidst the stories of rebuilding along the Jersey Shore there is a harsh reality. There are many of our neighbors all over the Jersey Shore who still desperately need our help.
Hurricane Sandy nearly wiped Mantoloking off the map. But why did this house make it through the storm?
Earlier this morning, a man climbed the partially submerged Jet Star.
For many residents of the Jersey Shore who consider themselves lucky in the aftermath of Sandy, things have gotten back to some level of normalcy. The news of the return of some of the residents to the Northern Barrier Island reminds us that it's certainly not the case for everyone.
Years from now, when we look back on the aftermath of Sandy, one of the things that will stand out is just how much the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties was there for us in an amazing time of need.
As Restore the Shore efforts continue and Seaside continues to rebuild, missing pieces are still being found.
Governor Chris Christie ripped into House Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans today for not holding a vote on a Hurricane Sandy relief bill. Watch the Gov.'s reaction.
With the help of Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and many others, over 50 million dollars was raised at the 12-12-12 concert. But, where has that money gone?
The last few months have certainly given us a lot to think about, and as the New Year approaches, I'm sure those thoughts will shape our New Years resolutions in many ways.

There really is never a dull moment when it comes to the great game of football. Whether it's the off-season and players are getting traded (or more than likely getting in trouble) to training camp and your favorite star has an "owee" and his coach is questioning his manhood in the media, football is always good for a laugh (rumor has it they actually play the game every Saturday and Sunday too!).
This past weekend was just like every other chock full of crazy, wacky antics from some of the usual suspects. The Jets could almost go for their own reality channel– let alone show– with all the craziness that seems to surround that team. Apparently fans in San Diego were not too crazy about the boy band 98 Degrees; either that or they just didn't like Nick Lachey backing the Bengals in their house. Remember the controversy surrounding New York Giants defensive back Prince Amukamara? He's back, and this time he's talking about his throne.
And those are just the highlights from the week!
J-E-T-S, Jets! Jets! Jets!
Nothing seems to be going right for the Jets these days. The week starts off with who they thought was their biggest fan, Fireman Ed, quitting his infamous unofficial role as cheerleader at home games. Apparently too many people were harassing him because he's wearing a Mark Sanchez jersey.
You would think that this might cause other super fans to come together and unite; you know, try to help bring some civility back to the stands. That wasn't the case. Miami Dolphins super fan, Big Papa Pump, blasted Ed:
"If you're stepping down because of what you see, getting your butt whupped week-in and week-out and you haven't been to the Super Bowl since Super Bowl III, that is a wuss…"
Umm…that wasn't it at all Mr. Pump…
Bart Scott added to the Jets week when he decided it was time to let all the fans know just how he feels:
"…The person yelling at you probably was picked last in dodge ball all through high school. So do you care about the opinion of them? No…"
He also felt the need to tell everyone that he's a pro football player and they aren't. I can't imagine that comment making much sense without him sticking his tongue when he's done. That wouldn't be the end of it for the opinionated linebacker. Later in the week he had this to say:
"I have a tremendous amount of respect for fans and what they do and the sacrifices that they make…"
Really? Has anyone checked to see if good ole' Bart needs some mood stabilizing meds or something?
Talking to the media seems to be the one thing that the Jets are good at these days regardless of the destruction that it has on team cohesiveness and morale. So of course we had to have the voice of reason step in–Darrelle Revis.
"Guys just need to shut up."
Well said Darrelle. Now excuse me while I dodge this pig that's flying by.
Be Gone Former Boy Band Person!
Nick Lachey was actually a singer at one time. He may not be as famous for being one since his band, 98 Degrees, had to deal with the popularity of the Backstreet Boys right around the same time. Gone and nearly forgotten, he was able to resurrect his public persona by marrying the lovely and now chunky Jessica Simpson (bullet. dodged.), but the reality show died and so did the couple's union.
His new wife is actually pretty hot, Vanessa Minnillo, so he can't be doing too bad now. Folks in San Diego sure don't care for him too much though. It seems that he (sporting his Bengals colors) and a Chargers fan got into it a little bit at the game in San Diego Sunday. In the end it was Lachey that got booted.
I kind of wonder if Nick did the whole thing just for the attention. He spent more time on Twitter talking about it then the time it took for the whole incident to go down!
A Prince Without a Throne…
Remember back when there was a little min-controversy when Giants defensive back Prince Amukamara was getting dumped into an ice tub (standard hazing for the Giants) even though he wasn't a rookie?
Well, it looks like he has at least opened up (if not toughened up). In a recent interview he shared a nice little tidbit about how he no longer needed to visit the porcelain throne to make a deposit before game time.
TMI Prince. TMI.

Marco Island Chamber's 'Glory of the Grape' goes Greek for five-year anniversary
MARCO ISLAND - Sunday marked the fifth outing for the popular "Glory of the Grape" event, and the Chamber of Commerce hung out a "sold out" sign, via email, days beforehand.
This year's food and wine pairings, put together by executive "Chef Laura" Owen at CJ's, which once again hosted the Glory, made a tour of the Mediterranean.
"It's a different focus. We went with Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese wines, trying to expand people's horizons," said Owen, "but we did have to throw in some Italian, too. Most of the wines we're serving tonight I'm unfamiliar with." After seven o'clock, once everything was humming along smoothly, she promised, that would change.
Six whites and six reds tempted the palates of attendees, along with a port and two sherry selections at the dessert station. The varieties sported names such as numanthia and xinomavro, prompting a few drinkers to label them "Greek to me" but not dissuading them from sampling.
Food items likewise came from the lands that surround the Mediterranean and provided the wines, with a conscious effort to include more vegetarian choices this year, said Owen.
Spanish dishes included gazpacho, shrimp in saffron almond sauce, blue cheese, apple and walnut mousse, and a potato "tortilla." Italy contributed an antipasto display, salsa verde, gnocchi, mini-calzones, caponata on crostini, and a selection of cheeses. From Greece came stuffed grape leaves, baba ganoush, and a crowd favorite, lamb chop "popsicles."
Asked for the secret to the lamb, Owen said four words "mint, lemon, olive oil, garlic." Okay, five words, but four flavors blended together.
Some took careful notes and jotted down favorite wines for home cellars, and some just enjoyed a bountiful buffet, along with the chance to hobnob with fellow islanders in a relaxed "end of season" setting. Dominic Abney, who works as a sommelier in Cape Coral, fell in love with the Pedro Ximenez sherry, expressing his intention to acquire three cases asap.
Attendees had the chance to have their photo on the cover of a faux "Wine Spectator" and bid up the live auction items, particularly after sampling a few glasses of wine.
The Marco Island Area Chamber of Commerce's next social get-together will be the June After Five on June 18, off-island at the Classics Country Club in Lely Resort.

DALLAS Attorneys for Todd Willingham's relatives convinced Judge Charles Baird of Austin to open a Court of Inquiry into whether the Corsicana man was wrongfully convicted and executed for setting a fire that killed his three daughters.
Gerald Goldstein, an attorney for Willingham's relatives, told News 8 that the legal team quietly submitted a 55-page petition to Judge Baird in Austin on Friday. After examining it over the weekend, the judge announced on Monday that he would open hear testimony next Wednesday and Thursday and decide whether Willingham was convicted on faulty forensics.
The Corsicana man was later put to death for the arson case.
The case started receiving publicity last year when the the Texas Forensic Science Commission agreed to hear it. But it has barely budged after Gov. Rick Perry changed out members of the commission.
A week-and-a-half ago in Dallas, though, members of the panel bucked Perry's new Chairman Williamson County District Attorney John Bradley and decided not to close the case and clear arson investigators, but rather question them face-to-face at a future meeting.
Still, the commission is only considering the science used in the conviction not Willingham's guilt or innocence. That's something Judge Baird could do.
Whatever he decides is non-binding, and is perhaps symbolic more than anything. Regardless, it will be the first time a Texas court reopens and reconsiders what happened to Todd Willingham.
Goldstein said Willingham's family hopes the Court of Inquiry restores the condemned man's reputation.
Judge Baird is holding the review next Wednesday and Thursday in his Austin courtroom. He invited both sides to share arguments, although it's uncertain who will ultimately attend.

Following complaints of bias from opposition parties, the Election Commission ordered transfer of five Superintendents of Police, one district Magistrate and two additional district magistrates in West Bengal.
However, a defiant Mamata Banerjee refused to comply by the Election Commission's orders on Monday and challenged the EC to take any action against her and said that she was "ready to face any consequences". "How can the Election Commission transfer and name new officers without consulting the state government?" Banerjee asked. "You will only listen to the Congress...to make the Congress win, BJP win. You will have to take my resignation. I will not remove anybody," she said
